682: Enemies sympathize with each other

After Deng Liduō got out of the predicament, he still had some doubts in his heart. He was so impulsive just now, thinking the call was from Fells. However, judging by Fells's reaction, he clearly hadn't called him.

So the agreement reached with Fells, who was impersonated by Su Yue, should still be valid, right?

Deng Liduō was uneasy. If Fells got angry and blamed him for attacking him in public, wouldn't the terms discussed with Fells, who was impersonated by Su Yue, become void?

The main reason was that after Deng Liduō went upstairs and saw a group of reporters there, he subconsciously thought Fells had set him up! They had clearly agreed to cooperate before! Deng Liduō couldn't hold back and made his move.

Deng Liduō came back to his senses and said to Fells with a hint of awkwardness, "Do we still have a chance to cooperate now?"

Fells didn't expect this incident to become an opportunity for their cooperation. He smiled and replied to Deng Liduō, "Of course, why not!" The two looked at each other and smiled.

At this moment, Tex was still surrounded by a group of reporters and couldn't get away.

"I won't let them off easily!" Tex originally thought he could reach an agreement with Fells, persuading him not to cling to this position, but simply to stand on the right side, and ultimately everyone would be happy.

However, now they were both happy, while Tex himself was miserable alone.

"What should we do next?" Deng Liduō looked at Fells.

Fells first took Deng Liduō away from there and went to a coffee shop he often frequented.

"Let's talk here!" Fells said seriously to Deng Liduō.

"Okay, I want to hear your thoughts on this matter, after all, we are both competing for this position now." Deng Liduō urgently needed a clear statement. One of them needed to be in the front, and the other to support from behind.

"Me? I think it's more suitable for you!" Fells was aware of his situation. The people behind him were now watching him closely because of his unusual move. His priority was to keep his original position.

"Are you sure? This is no joke!" Deng Liduō looked at Fells, hoping he would consider it carefully. Deng Liduō tacitly avoided mentioning the previous incident, afraid that Fells would think he was forcing him not to covet this position.

"I'm sure. If I take that position, the difficulties I face will be twice yours." It's hard to say how much genuine feeling there was in Fells's previous cooperation with Nep.

But the person in front of him had just gone through a not-so-small battle with him.

"Alright, I have no problem. So, do we need to take action now?" Deng Liduō currently had public support, but he had always followed Su Yue's method, neither showing favor nor taking sides with any political power.

"Well, our Presidential Candidate hasn't been announced yet, and I think this is related to Tex of the Federal Court." Fells pointed out the key.

"You mean the Federal Court has been paving the way for Minsweite?" Deng Liduō instantly understood Fells's meaning.

"That's right, Minsweite hasn't done much, and the public isn't familiar with him. But after my investigation, I found that he ranks third in public support, only behind you and the Governor." Fells was no longer thinking about becoming President himself.

"So, should we act now?" Deng Liduō hadn't thought of a plan yet, but once the Presidential Candidate was announced and the public turned against him, Deng Liduō would have no chance of winning.

"No, we can't act now! But I can send a message to the outside world." Fells smiled mysteriously.

"What message?"

"I've decided not to participate in this Presidential election!" Fells showed Deng Liduō his sincerity.

"I don't think that's necessary." Deng Liduō didn't want to see Fells make a sacrifice for him immediately.

"It's very necessary. Once this matter comes out, they will definitely keep a close eye on me!" Fells understood that once he gave up the election, the chain of interests behind him would settle down, and others would be even more wary of him.

"If it's just to divert attention, there's no need." Deng Liduō still stuck to his opinion.

"Of course, there's more. My real purpose is to make everyone not think we will cooperate. This matter will definitely be exposed. We shouldn't suppress the media or block the news. This way, everyone will think we are enemies."

"This way, people will come to me for cooperation again, and we will gain the initiative." Fells looked at Deng Liduō.

The most important thing in cooperation is mutual trust. If Deng Liduō were suspicious of Fells proposing this, there would be many points of doubt. For example, if he no longer ran, the public's attention would not be focused on him, but rather Deng Liduō would receive more attention.

Moreover, once someone offered Fells more attractive cooperation terms, Fells could easily betray him, and then Deng Liduō would be in a desperate situation.

"I believe you! Let's do this together!" Deng Liduō finally chose to believe Fells.

Hadn't he always relied on Fells? Until now, Deng Liduō hadn't realized it was Su Yue impersonating him, so he naturally believed Fells.

"The most important thing for us now is to catch Su Yue. Last time, he made all our administrative agencies lose face. We must catch him to maintain our dignity as the highest government of the United States!" Fells said to Deng Liduō.

"I also know that the most important thing for me now is to show results to everyone, but I have no clue about catching Su Yue now." Deng Liduō was also troubled. His mind was full of the impact of the last Nep incident.

"I have a way we can try!" Fells said cautiously to Deng Liduō.

"You mean we can lure him out?" Deng Liduō was very skeptical about the feasibility of this. "Fells, you might not know Su Yue very well. He previously infiltrated the Central Intelligence Agency and even worked as an agent in the Special Task Force. It wasn't until the last Nep incident broke out that the Central Intelligence Agency tracked him down."

"Even the Central Intelligence Agency's Special Task Force, in conjunction with the North Chao Embassy and relevant personnel from China, tailored a plan for Su Yue, but it was still seen through by Su Yue, and other Central Intelligence Agency personnel were severely humiliated by Su Yue."

"Su Yue is far more complex than we imagine." Deng Liduō had a love-hate relationship with this person.

"So are we just going to let him be arrogant? The key is that we can work on other performance metrics now, but only two of the Central Intelligence Agency's n-shaped files have been solved, which is embarrassing to talk about!" Fells looked at Deng Liduō awkwardly.

"You might not know this, but even among those two n-shaped files that were solved, one was cracked by Su Yue!"

Fells looked at Deng Liduō's frustrated appearance and couldn't think of a good solution for a while.

"This is what I'm thinking: As a top con artist, shouldn't he feel humiliated about someone impersonating him and getting caught? He will definitely come forward to clarify. If we set up a careful plan then, maybe it will work!" Fells decided to try it first, as there was nothing else to do right now.

"Okay, then let's do it this way for now!" Deng Liduō had no other options, so he could only try it first.

"Then I'll send you the plan tomorrow!" Fells planned to go back and think it over carefully.

"Okay, I'll wait for you!" After saying that, Deng Liduō and Fells went back separately.

Su Yue was in the government building, waiting for Fells to return.

"Boss, are you alright?" Su Yue pretended to have just heard the news that broke and looked at Fells with concern.

"What? The news has already broken?" Fells said without surprise.

"Yes, and it's quite hot!" Su Yue looked at Fells's appearance and knew they must have had a pleasant talk.

"Send me the media information in a bit. I want to see what they're saying about me." Although Fells wasn't planning to run anymore, he still cared about his image.

"Okay, Boss." Su Yue was about to go organize the information.

"Hey, wait a moment. Go to the Federal Court first and tell them that if they announce the Presidential Candidate, they can remove my name." Fells was organizing documents with his head down.

"Ah? Really? But Boss..." Su Yue hesitated, not knowing what to say.

"Of course it's true, do you think I'd lie to you? Come back quickly after you're done, I still have something to ask you!" Fells was quite satisfied with this newly hired assistant.

Compared to the previous idiot, this one was obviously much smarter.

"But, sir, if the Federal Court asks why you withdrew from the election, what should I say?" Su Yue asked Fells.

"Hmm... just say that the incident between Deng Liduō and me had too great an impact, and I can't run anymore. This is the simplest way to put it, and they'll understand what happened as soon as they hear it."

"Okay." Su Yue turned and left.

"Hello, I am Fells's Secretary, I have an urgent matter to see the Judge!" Su Yue said with a smile.

"Okay, please wait a moment." The person introducing him made a phone call, and their expression turned unpleasant, then they said, "Sorry for the long wait, you can go up now!"

"I can go up now? Thank you." Su Yue got on the elevator, thinking that Tex would definitely lose his temper at him, this little Secretary. Thinking of this, Su Yue couldn't help but smile.

"Hello, I am..." Su Yue stood at the office door. Before he could enter, there was the sound of things being thrown inside. Su Yue sneered. It seemed this was directed at him.

Su Yue didn't care about anything and didn't even plan to go in. He said directly from outside, "Since you are angry, I won't come in. Our Prime Minister said he is not participating in this Presidential election. When you make the announcement, just remove his name."

After saying that, Su Yue was about to leave. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the office door of the highest leader of the Federal Court opened.

"How can you just say such a big thing outside the door and leave? Come in and sit!" Tex showed no hint of embarrassment on his face from being slapped.

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate!" Su Yue looked at Tex's calm appearance and kept suppressing his laughter.

"Did your Prime Minister say why? This is quite a big deal after all!" Tex suddenly became kind and even poured Su Yue a glass of water!

"Oh, our Boss..." Su Yue picked up the glass and took a sip of water.

"Your Boss?" Tex looked strangely at Su Yue's choice of words.

"This is our Prime Minister's request. I can't call him Prime Minister directly, and I couldn't think of anything else, so I just called him Boss!" Su Yue explained.

"So, did he say why?" Tex's mind kept turning, wondering what the reason could be.

"Our Prime Minister said that the media incident this time couldn't be suppressed. As Prime Minister, he didn't fulfill his responsibility, so he feels very guilty and doesn't plan to participate in this election anymore." Su Yue smiled and repeated what Fells had told him.

"Is that so? It seems the media impact this time is indeed quite significant. If it's convenient when you go back, tell Firth that with our Federal Court here, no one can harm our people!" Tex said grandly.

"Okay, I will definitely relay that. Then I'll head back first!" Su Yue looked at the place disdainfully.

Sooner or later, I'll change this place of yours too.

When Su Yue returned to the building, Fells was worrying about how to implement the plan to catch Su Yue.

"So fast, your efficiency has been quite high lately!" Fells flipped through a book irritably.

"It's okay. However, just as you expected, he did ask why, and I told him the reason you told me." Su Yue maintained his smile.

"We'll talk about that later. Do you know Su Yue?" Fells asked tentatively.

Su Yue's heart skipped a beat. How did the idea turn to him again? Maintaining a smile, he said with a forced laugh, "Of course I know. After all, his prison break, and... and the recent events."

"It's good that you know. I need to catch him now. The current method is to lure him out and then apprehend him. Do you have any ideas?" Fells really couldn't think of anything, so he had to ask Su Yue.

Su Yue was stunned for a moment. He really saw everything. Before, he had joined the Special Task Force to catch Su Yue, and now he had to provide ideas for his own capture to the person who wanted to catch him.

This... I really didn't expect this.

"Well, I really don't have any ideas." Even if Su Yue offered any suggestions now, he wouldn't be foolish enough to fall into the trap. If he didn't fall into the trap, Fells would definitely blame him.

Su Yue's heart was practically exploding. Why ask me such a question? I really don't want to know the plan to catch myself! But in this situation, I can't get away at all!

"Hmm, a channel where news spreads quickly... that would be... a website, right?" Su Yue pulled at the corners of his mouth and squeezed out an answer.

Fells stared at him suspiciously and asked doubtfully, "Are you sure? Are you still young?"

"Well, of course, not just any website will do. It has to be a big website!" Su Yue quickly explained.

"Then tell me, which are the big websites?" Fells slowly understood.

"Well... what I say doesn't count. You can check the download volume of various software apps. Spreading the news where the download volume is high, wouldn't that be fine!" Su Yue said.

"You're right!" Fells's face broke into a smile.

"Do you think Su Yue will fall for it?" After being questioned by Deng Liduō earlier, Fells was also muttering to himself whether this plan was reliable or not.

"Boss, I haven't fully understood your plan yet, so it's hard to say!" Su Yue replied with a smile.

Fells sized Su Yue up from head to toe, staring intently into his eyes, and said, "I can only give you a general idea, I can't tell you the details."

Su Yue's heart blossomed with joy. You don't need to tell me the details, you still won't catch me.

"Okay, I'm all ears."
