684: This is not the purpose

Su Yue went to Firth to create a balance between the two, making it easier for Su Yue to achieve his own goals.

“Alright, thank you all for your questions today. It was a pleasure meeting everyone this way! See you next time!” Deng Liduō bowed ninety degrees before stepping down.

Clearly, Deng Liduō's approval rating had risen significantly, but Su Yue's objective was not here.

“Firth, Su Yue is no longer our main concern!” Deng Liduō said anxiously, sitting opposite Firth.

“Is it because of today’s events?” Firth not only watched the news at the time, but more importantly, after the incident, he personally went to the Central Building to investigate. He had a vague feeling that this matter was not that simple.

“Exactly. I only found out today that Minsweite and Tex are father and son!” Deng Liduō revealed the news he had just received.

“I also found out today. What he said on the news was clearly paving the way for his son!” Firth wasn't completely brainless. In matters like this, his analytical ability was no less than Deng Liduō's.

“But don’t you think it’s all too coincidental?” Firth looked at Deng Liduō with concern.

“What do you... mean? I don’t understand!” Deng Liduō didn't grasp Firth's meaning.

“While he was giving his speech on stage, the Central Building collapsed. The key is why we couldn't find any information about Minsweite's connections before, but at that moment, we suddenly found out!” Firth expressed his doubts.

“Are you saying! Someone is deliberately helping us?” It wasn't that Deng Liduō hadn't suspected this, but the Central Building incident was hard to manipulate manually, wasn't it? It was uncontrollable!

“No, one person can!” Firth said.

“Su Yue!” Deng Liduō suddenly understood Firth's true meaning.

“Are you saying, Su Yue is right beside us?” Deng Liduō was completely shocked now, a chill running down his spine.

“But I don’t think we need to be angry or scared right now. I feel like he’s helping us, and I feel like our cooperation was most likely facilitated by him!”

Firth's mind finally opened up! Su Yue couldn't help but sigh as he listened to their conversation.

“Then what do we do? We don’t even know where Su Yue is right now, and everything we’ve said has no basis, right?” Deng Liduō was filled with panic thinking that someone had been lurking around him all this time.

“I don’t know either. I’ve just been thinking back on this. How did we so coincidentally meet in the elevator? You even mistook me for the one who instructed the reporters to surround you!” Firth recalled the situation back then, trying to re-organize his thoughts.

“Are you sure you didn’t say it wrong?” Deng Liduō suddenly realized the time discrepancy.

“Huh? I didn’t say it wrong! Didn’t you stop me back then because you thought I hired those reporters to ambush you?” Firth didn't understand why Deng Liduō had suddenly changed.

“Are you sure?” Deng Liduō pressed again.

“What are you mumbling about?” Firth was completely confused by Deng Liduō's words.

“You clearly contacted me the day before yesterday and told me to go to the 39th floor. Of course, I thought it was a trap you set for me!” Deng Liduō stared at Firth in disbelief.

“What are you talking about? How could I contact you after the Nep incident! I was in cahoots with Nep before!” Firth looked at Deng Liduō as if he were an idiot.

“Stop messing around. I just want to ask you now, did you really not contact me? Did you not go to my house privately either?” Deng Liduō’s eyes were full of fear.

“No, I did have some dealings with Nep before, but I really didn’t contact you!” Firth felt that Deng Liduō wasn't lying. On the contrary, they seemed to have found a breakthrough.

“I used to be just a small fry in the White House, with no qualifications to get involved in this election. But after attending a seminar, someone quickly contacted me. I did as he said, and step by step, I climbed to this position!” Deng Liduō told Firth about his experience.

He was truly afraid now. Anyone would be afraid in this situation.

“Someone has been hiding by my side all along, and I was completely unaware.”

“Are you saying I contacted you before?” Firth hadn't expected his own involvement in this.

“That’s right. Back then, I was in single-line contact with that person. She always called me. But when James came to my house to discuss cooperation, you appeared and said you had been helping me all along.”

“I didn’t doubt it at all. After all, it’s not strange that you would have the ability and power to elevate an unknown person to this position. I just didn’t expect that you would announce your candidacy for President shortly after.”

“I panicked at the time. I was someone you had personally groomed. If you treated me as a disposable pawn, I would be finished. But you said the person behind you wouldn’t allow you to become President.”

“So I was relieved at the time and didn’t ask any further questions. Later, I received another message from you, saying to go to the 39th floor for something!” Deng Liduō recounted the whole story.

“But... but, I really never contacted you.” Firth looked at Deng Liduō, and he didn’t seem to be lying. So who was this person who had been impersonating him all along!

“Right, why were you on the 9th floor at that time?” Deng Liduō could only think of this one point of intersection.

“At that time, my assistant told me that someone from the ** was looking for me on the 9th floor!” Firth recalled the situation at the time.

“Was someone looking?” Deng Liduō quickly asked.

“Yes! Of course there was someone. My assistant is very reliable!” Firth said emphatically.

Su Yue was drinking tea and almost spat it out when he heard this evaluation. How could this guy be so slow-witted!

“Then what’s going on?” Deng Liduō couldn’t believe who was manipulating things behind the scenes.

Now both Firth and Deng Liduō understood that they were just small grasshoppers in someone else's hands. The other party just didn't want to expose themselves for now. Once they were no longer needed, both of them would be finished together.

“Knock, knock, knock!” The door of the private room was knocked.

“Who is it?” Deng Liduō and the others hadn't told anyone they were discussing things here, and they had also told the staff not to disturb them.

“The person you’ve been looking for!” Su Yue stood leisurely at the door, as if he could see the panic inside.

“You are?” Deng Liduō and Firth exchanged glances and instantly understood, “You are Su Yue?”

“That’s right!” After Su Yue came in, he saw Firth and Deng Liduō sitting opposite each other and smiled as he sat down.

“What? Haven’t you been looking for me all this time? Why are you not talking now that you’ve seen me?” Su Yue leaned back in his chair, looking at the two of them.

“Are you really Su Yue?” Deng Liduō scrutinized Su Yue and questioned him.

“You can choose not to believe me. I don’t need to prove that I am Su Yue, do I?” Su Yue didn’t care whether the people in front of him believed him or not.

“Then what are you here for?” Firth said cautiously.

“I’m here, I’m here to turn myself in!” Su Yue replied casually.

“Turn yourself in for what?”

“Of course, I’m turning myself in as Su Yue. Haven’t you been looking for me?” Su Yue looked at the two people in front of him with amusement. How did they suddenly become like this?

“Of course, this is not enough for me to turn myself in. The position you hold now was planned by me, and I have also covered up the things you have done!” Su Yue smiled, enjoying this moment.

In the eyes of Deng Liduō and Firth, his arrival was like a devil coming to claim their lives.

“Are you saying that the person who was in single-line contact with me all along was...” It wasn’t that Deng Liduō hadn’t suspected this, after all, it was Su Yue who had exposed Nep in the first place.

But later, Firth's appearance dispelled his doubts. “What’s wrong with me? What have I done?” Deng Liduō said, pretending to be indifferent.

“Since you don’t care, I don’t either. Haven’t you always been in contact with Ethan of the Central Intelligence Agency? Moreover, don’t you really want the position of Director of the Central Intelligence Agency now!”

“I knew about this problem of yours back then, you are too eager for quick success and gain, and you can’t settle down at all. That’s why I always told you to stay away from ** and the Central Intelligence Agency. I didn’t want to keep Ethan at all, but I knew with your personality, you wouldn’t believe what I said.”

“You will definitely find ways to verify what I say!”

Deng Liduō couldn't even maintain his outward calm. The person in front of him was too terrifying! He had been manipulated by them all along! He was simply his puppet, and he didn't even know it.

“What exactly do you want?” Firth couldn’t stand the feeling of being controlled like this.

“Heh, Firth, if your underlying interests knew you were involved with Deng Liduō now, could you still hold onto your position? After all, they seem to be choosing someone in the White House right now!” Su Yue inadvertently hit Firth's sore spot.

“Tell me! What exactly do you want?”

Firth stared at Su Yue, unable to fathom Su Yue’s true purpose for this visit. They were completely unaware of Su Yue’s intentions, so they dared not act rashly.

Su Yue looked at Deng Liduō and Firth’s expressions and almost couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

“What? Are you starting to get nervous now? Is this all the mental fortitude you have?” If it were ordinary people, facing the current situation, they would probably be scared out of their wits, but Firth and Deng Liduō were still relatively calm.

“Mr. Su Yue, you suddenly barged in like this, and we didn’t say much, did we? But you seem to not respect us very much? Respect should be mutual, right?” Deng Liduō couldn’t be sure if what Su Yue was saying at this moment was true.

“Offensive?” An interesting thought flashed through Su Yue’s mind. He suddenly changed his voice, imitating Firth’s assistant’s voice, “Boss, is this still considered offensive?”

Firth widened his eyes and looked at Su Yue. Could it be, could it be...

“What? Can’t speak now?” Su Yue found it very amusing.

“You’ve been lurking by my side all along!” Firth wanted to slap himself. He was so foolish as to ask Su Yue himself how to catch him.

“Not really, but being your assistant for so long felt pretty good!” Su Yue recalled the days he spent with Firth.

“What exactly do you want now?” Firth was initially just flustered, but now he was determined to get rid of Su Yue, because no one knew him better than Su Yue.

“What, you want to silence me now? Can’t handle it?” Su Yue could understand Firth’s state, but he absolutely couldn’t let Firth continue to harbor such thoughts.

“Silencing is not necessary, I just really can’t understand what you want to do now.” Firth was emotional. His assistant was actually Su Yue, and he had trusted him so much all along.

Are you kidding me?

“Why are you only reacting now? You don’t really think your cooperation was just a coincidence, do you? And do you really think the collapse of the Central Building was inexplicable?” Su Yue had long thought Firth was a bit stupid, and now it seemed he really was.

“You... you...” Firth pointed at Su Yue, unable to speak.

“Why did you help us?” Deng Liduō finally came to his senses. He realized that everything Su Yue had done wasn't to threaten them, but to remind them that what Su Yue said actually had a basis.

“Why? Has someone finally asked me this question?” Su Yue smiled as he looked at Deng Liduō.

Actually, it wasn’t their fault, but it took them so long to realize that he wasn't threatening them. To be honest, it was a bit stupid.

“Hmm... because it’s fun!” Su Yue curled his lips, revealing a cynical expression.

“This...” Deng Liduō and Firth never expected this answer. They had put so much effort into this matter, but now someone was telling them that he got involved just for fun?

Deng Liduō's eyes rolled. He was caught off guard by Su Yue just now, but now during the conversation, he could guess that Su Yue definitely had a purpose.

Otherwise, according to Su Yue's usual behavior, he wouldn't do these useless things.

“We can make a deal!” Deng Liduō said to Su Yue.

Su Yue was delighted to see Deng Liduō react first, and he was very satisfied with this choice. But if he told them what he wanted, the Statue of Liberty, right now, even if they didn't tear Su Yue apart on the spot, they would kick Su Yue away after reaching the presidency with Su Yue's help.

Su Yue had decided from the beginning that they would have to hand over the Statue of Liberty.

“A deal? I really can’t think of anything I want for now.” Su Yue casually brushed them off. His appearance wasn't to remind them that someone was helping them behind the scenes.

Instead, it was to tell them that he could choose to support them now, but he could also choose to support others.

It was up to them how to proceed.

Su Yue wanted to see if they were smart. He had to show himself eventually and make them realize the importance of his existence.

“You came here first to instruct us, telling us that a large part of our current achievements is thanks to your efforts, and then you declared that we are nothing now. I thought you wanted to make a deal with us, but now it seems that’s not the case!” Deng Liduō was no pushover either.

The fact that he could decisively listen to Su Yue and accept Su Yue’s suggestions back then was not a choice ordinary people would dare to make.

“As for me, I really don’t want anything right now! But I know what you want!” Su Yue smiled mysteriously.

“What we want is obvious, isn’t it?” Firth said to Su Yue with a smile.

“All we want is the position of President, isn’t it?”

Su Yue lowered his head, remaining silent.
