686: A look at the big picture

By then, it will be too late to turn back.

Everyone's criticism of Su Yue is so fierce right now; this is the demand of the masses. Cater to the demands of the masses, and it's like standing on the cusp of a storm – even pigs can fly.

"You've been doing well lately. Let's set the live stream time for 2 PM tomorrow. Media coverage will also be arranged," Deng Liduō said, still worried that not enough people would watch.

The hammer hitting Su Yue wasn't hard enough.

Around 1 PM, Deng Liduō contacted Fells and directly brought Luo Lisheng to their usual coffee shop.

"Go over your lines again. We'll write the answers on a whiteboard across from you then. Don't panic!" Deng Liduō quickly comforted Luo Lisheng, seeing his hands and feet trembling.

"Okay, you can rest assured!" Luo Lisheng said softly.

"Damn it! What's going on?" Fells was just about to contact major media outlets to promote Luo Lisheng's live stream.

"What is it? What happened?" As soon as Deng Liduō heard Fells's voice, he felt something was seriously wrong.

"Su Yue is live streaming!" Fells sent the media hype to Deng Liduō.

"When did it start?" Deng Liduō quickly checked the location of Su Yue's server.

"It starts in 10 minutes!" Fells stared intently at the time, trying to find the location.

"We must find the internet IP address; only then can we be completely foolproof," Deng Liduō emphasized to Fells.

Fells leaned closer to Deng Liduō and whispered, "This actually proves one thing: Luo Lisheng and Su Yue are definitely unrelated. Otherwise, how could he possibly sabotage our plan like this? That would be too obvious."

Deng Liduō nodded and whispered back, "Exactly. It also proves something else: our person is not Su Yue in disguise! And even if we don't live stream today, we can still gain some insight!" The more Deng Liduō thought about it, the more he felt Su Yue's live stream today was beneficial.

"That's right, Su Yue's live stream today can also serve as a demonstration for Luo Lisheng, and we can track his address by the way. We can avoid this address in the future. Su Yue has never used the same path online twice."

Time flew by. Everyone across the internet was waiting for Su Yue's live stream. How could such an earth-shattering figure not be captivating?

"It's starting!" Fells was the first to click in.

"My goodness, so many people?" Deng Liduō hadn't paid enough attention to Su Yue before. Su Yue had live streamed in the past, but Deng Liduō wasn't aware of it. Now, seeing this scene, his eyes widened.

"I hope the server doesn't crash!" Luo Lisheng said quietly, watching the number of viewers continue to surge.

Deng Liduō stared at Su Yue on the screen, constantly comparing him to Luo Lisheng, carefully pondering if there were any shortcomings in his training. But before he could compare for long, Su Yue's words stunned everyone.

"Hello everyone, I am Su Yue!" Su Yue smiled casually in front of the camera. Deng Liduō thought to himself, "Stop smiling, what are we going to do if you keep smiling?"

Su Yue, however, didn't listen to him and continued, "I previously exposed the relationship between the Central Intelligence Agency and the higher-ups. Thinking back now, that was too irresponsible!"

"That's right, yes. I watched Mr. Tex's lecture and would like to add a few points," Su Yue said, with a clear expression of disdain when mentioning Tex.

"First of all! The reason I know about these relationships is because I had already joined the agent group at the time. According to Mr. Tex's statement! I should feel very honored, given my identity."

At this point, someone in the comments below asked, "Is it because you disagree with Mr. Tex? Or are you dissatisfied with Mr. Minsweite?"

Su Yue glanced at the comment section and replied, "I like Mr. Tex very much. To me, Mr. Tex is still very worthy of respect."

"As for Minsweite, he doesn't have half his father's ability; he relies too much on his dad," Su Yue's casual answer caused a huge stir among netizens.

"Someone who can threaten a Presidential Candidate, that means Minsweite is no good!"

"Maybe he really isn't. Look at the current situation, he hasn't shown his face either." Many people were already discussing in the comment section. But Su Yue pulled the topic back.

He continued, "That's right, I joined the agent group as a detective at the time. To be honest, when I found out they were the agent group trying to catch me, I laughed so hard myself."

Hearing Su Yue say this, the comment section below uniformly posted a string of "hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh".

"No way, no way, no way, Su Yue's experiences are too hilarious!"

"We all thought Su Yue's experiences were full of blood and blades every day! After hearing Su Yue explain it, it suddenly feels so funny!"

Su Yue's eyes swept over the comment section again and he smiled.

Instantly, the people in the comment section started boiling again. "Oh my god, oh my god, Su Yue smiled again, my youth is over!"

Su Yue continued, "My main point today is not to introduce the structure of the Central Intelligence Agency. I mainly want to explain one thing to everyone, and that is the n-shaped file."

"This file not only holds extremely high status in everyone's eyes but also holds a considerably high status within the Central Intelligence Agency headquarters."

"As it happens, I, personally, in less than a month at the Central Intelligence Agency, was fortunate enough to solve two cases, both of which were n-shaped files that everyone considered extremely difficult."

Su Yue's remarks caused a strong reaction in the comment section, with netizens leaving messages one after another:

"Su Yue is amazing!"

"Su Yue, do you take disciples? I want to learn from you!"

"Stop joking, how can a great master take disciples casually? A great master is a great master!"

"I say, why don't you hold an offline meeting, Great Master? Those of us who want to follow you will go!"

"Come on, you say it sounds good now, but when the Police Officer arrive, let's see if you run!"

"Our Great Master even dares to threaten a Presidential Candidate, what are we afraid of!"

Su Yue smiled and continued, "The n-shaped file, at first I also thought it was very difficult, but when I actually went to crack it, I found it wasn't difficult at all."

The viewers in front of their phone screens listened with helpless expressions. The Great Master was tormenting them, these ordinary people!

"The reason why the n-shaped file is classified is likely because the rulers at the time wanted to establish a belief controlled by the Central Intelligence Agency. They felt that the higher the public's adoration for them, the greater their power."

"The Great Master is telling us not to be mindless fans."

"Is it the trend now to believe in the Central Intelligence Agency?"

"Hmm, seems to make some sense."

Su Yue continued to share, "The second case I personally solved was not interfered with by anyone. For privacy reasons, I cannot reveal too many details, but I want to tell everyone that the reason that case was classified as an n-shaped file was actually very simple: the killer bribed the person in charge of the case."

Su Yue knew clearly that even if the people at the time hadn't accepted bribes and investigated thoroughly, they wouldn't have found anything. The key point was that the killer offered a bribe. As for whether the purpose of the bribe was to prevent searching the room or to close the case quickly, only he and Tang Xiao knew.

Now, they were going to use this point to mislead the public and make everyone lose trust in the Central Intelligence Agency.

Fells frowned and said seriously to Deng Liduō, "Damn it, Su Yue said this. What if they question Luo Lisheng then?"

Deng Liduō closed the live stream and replied, "He won't. Su Yue said he couldn't say more due to personal privacy reasons."

Fells still had an ominous feeling, but he agreed with Deng Liduō's opinion.

"What should we do next?" Fells looked at Luo Lisheng, who was imitating Su Yue's demeanor in another room, feeling a wave of confusion.

"We can only hope Su Yue doesn't open a live stream at the drop of a hat anymore, so Luo Lisheng has a chance to go on," Deng Liduō said, not particularly worried. She seemed to already see Su Yue being captured.

"He probably won't. Su Yue hasn't live streamed many times. But I just looked at the comments from netizens after he closed the live stream."

Deng Liduō asked curiously, "What did the netizens say?"

"Our country's famous Hacker, Nazi, tried to attack Su Yue's IP address, but he hasn't succeeded. What should we do? He's a top Hacker globally. He can't break into Su Yue's real address, but our address isn't that safe."

As soon as Deng Liduō heard this, his face darkened, and he was at a loss.

"Right, we can live stream at the Central Intelligence Agency!" Deng Liduō suddenly said excitedly.

"Why? Wouldn't that expose us more?" Fells didn't understand what Deng Liduō meant.

"Idiot, because Su Yue mentioned the Central Intelligence Agency. If we choose to live stream there, netizens will definitely think Su Yue is provoking us."

"Besides, others can't get into the Central Intelligence Agency, right? That way, it's impossible to be exposed!" Deng Liduō was very grateful that Su Yue mentioned the Central Intelligence Agency during the live stream.

"But aren't we planning a major reshuffle of the Central Intelligence Agency?" Fells and Deng Liduō had already reached an agreement; they still valued the Central Intelligence Agency highly. Now, the high-level officials of several major state institutions were on Deng Liduō's side. As long as they controlled the Central Intelligence Agency, their final chances of winning would be very high.

"We can't control the Central Intelligence Agency right now anyway, can we? Only by hitting rock bottom can we completely control it!" Deng Liduō said to Fells with a smile.

"Hmm, that's true. Let's pick a time then," Fells had been quite worried, but now that he heard Deng Liduō say this, he felt much better.

For Fells and Deng Liduō, they were now interdependent, like ants on the same boat. Deng Liduō lacked support from government agencies, and Fells lacked a stronger stepping stone.

And all of this was within Su Yue's calculations.

Watching the live stream were not only Deng Liduō and Fells but also Liu Zhen, Tang Xiao, and Lyon.

They had suffered a great loss last time, but they hadn't given up. Especially Tang Xiao, he didn't want Su Yue to think he was just a Police Officer who could only pretend to be a woman.

He had to change that impression, and besides, he still had his own ideas that he hadn't expressed!

But Lyon, who had originally been firm in his resolve, was now somewhat hesitant.

James had been sentenced, and the whole world was condemning the Central Intelligence Agency, but he, the "prisoner," seemed to be ignored by everyone.

If he left now, he wouldn't have to live this life of constant fear. His original mission was to follow James and bring Su Yue to justice, but now...

He couldn't contact anyone. Besides Liu Zhen, he hardly knew anyone else.

Now was the best time to escape.

Lyon sat on the sofa, his face gloomy. He was still hesitating. Liu Zhen was about to come out of the China Hotel. Once he missed this opportunity, he would never be able to leave.

"What should I do?" The usually decisive Lyon was now starting to hesitate.

He looked at the watch on his wrist. There was still half an hour until the agreed time. He had come early specifically to give himself a chance to escape.

"If you no longer pursue Su Yue, then what meaning does your life have?"

Time flew by. Deng Liduō and Fells set the plan for next Tuesday.

Less than three days remained until that day. Deng Liduō and Fells replayed the recording of Su Yue's last live stream over and over, striving for complete perfection. If anything went wrong, it would ruin not only Luo Lisheng but also the two of them.

"How are the preparations going?" Deng Liduō asked Fells, who had been typing on the keyboard since early morning.

"Quite smoothly. I've listed all the questions netizens might ask and prepared various answers based on Su Yue's way of thinking. This makes me feel much more at ease," Fells said.

"That's good. This is a critical moment for us; we absolutely cannot make a mistake," Deng Liduō patted Fells's shoulder.

"Right, we can definitely do it!" Fells replied with a smile.

Luo Lisheng watched Su Yue's last recording in the room. Now, their demands on him were not just about looking similar and having similar knowledge backgrounds. What was ridiculous was that the leaders of two countries were starting to believe in various superstitious methods.

They extracted the audio from Su Yue's live stream and made it into a recording, making Luo Lisheng listen to it all day. As long as Su Yue had the slightest thought of resistance, they would increase the stakes. As soon as Luo Lisheng had negative emotions, he would receive a large sum of money. He was already close to the amount he wanted to save up.

But now he was truly tired. Who would want to listen to one person's voice all day? It was unbearable.

Luo Lisheng looked at Deng Liduō and Fells's excited expressions and knew that his days like this were numbered. As long as he persevered a little longer, he could get rid of them.

"Are you ready?" Deng Liduō saw Luo Lisheng seemed a bit lax and quickly came over to urge him.

"Almost, but do I have to stay here all the time? I've been here so long I'm spaced out and can't even remember the date," Luo Lisheng said bitterly.

Seeing him like this, Deng Liduō also felt that he might have pushed him too hard.

"You've been here for 23 days. Do you know the date now? If this is successful, you won't have to practice like this next time, and you'll feel better," Deng Liduō said to Luo Lisheng.

Luo Lisheng's expression hadn't changed initially, but as soon as he heard Deng Liduō mention "next time," he immediately looked up at him.

He smiled bitterly and asked, "Aren't you just keeping me under house arrest now? You're just tempting me with my own money!" Luo Lisheng knew he had no right to resist. Now, because he was cooperating, they were even paying him extra.

"How about this, you don't have to practice today and tomorrow, so you don't get too nervous," Deng Liduō was also afraid he would make a mistake.

"Really? I can rest?" Luo Lisheng looked at Deng Liduō in surprise.

"Yes, you can rest. You don't have to listen to Su Yue's recording anymore," Deng Liduō replied kindly.

"Then... can I go out?" Luo Lisheng asked Deng Liduō timidly.
