691: I'm not here to play with you.
"Alright, let's get out of the car!" Su Yue turned his head and saw that Wang Linlin was already asleep. Actually, on the plane, Su Yue had only taken a short nap; he was generally aware of his own weight.
He had expected Wang Linlin to act spoiled towards him, but he didn't expect this stubborn child to endure it, not even mentioning rubbing it herself, afraid that Su Yue would blame himself.
Su Yue carefully unbuckled the seatbelt and carried Wang Linlin out of the car.
"Hello, Uncle, I'm Su Yue!" Su Yue said softly, holding Wang Linlin.
Seeing the situation, Zheng Ziye quickly opened the door to welcome Su Yue.
"What's wrong? What happened to Sweetie?" The first thing Zheng Ziye did when he came out was to check if Sweetie was okay. Wang Linlin had insisted on going out, and her parents disagreed, only this Uncle couldn't help it.
He could understand Wang Linlin's feelings of liking Su Yue.
Su Yue wasn't unaware; when Wang Linlin sent the message, she didn't hide anything, clearly sending it to Zheng Ziye.
"It's nothing, she just fell asleep, let's go in first!" Su Yue didn't hand Wang Linlin to Zheng Ziye. Zheng Ziye nervously wanted to support her from behind but found that Wang Linlin winked at Zheng Ziye.
Immediately, Zheng Ziye understood what was going on and wasn't so nervous anymore. This was clearly deliberately taking advantage of the young boy! Zheng Ziye didn't know who to scold.
"Just put her here!" Zheng Ziye instructed Su Yue to put Wang Linlin on the sofa.
"No, she might not sleep well on the sofa, let's put her in the room. The last time I brought Wang Linlin here, I paid attention to the structure of this house."
Su Yue directly carried Wang Linlin to the bedroom, covered her with a blanket, and then came out.
"What exactly is going on with you two?" Zheng Ziye asked, following the principle of asking when he didn't understand. "You don't have any improper thoughts about my little princess, do you!" Thinking of this, Zheng Ziye suddenly became restless, stood up abruptly, and clenched his fists.
"No, of course not, before I get rid of the surveillance, it's impossible for me!" Su Yue quickly explained, looking at Zheng Ziye's reaction.
"Didn't you say we were going to eat hot pot? Hurry up and come over!" As soon as Zheng Ziye heard Su Yue say this, his heart settled, and he also felt a little embarrassed, after all, he had just questioned him.
"No need, Wang Linlin will wake up in a while, and we'll eat together, that way it's more lively." Su Yue knew Wang Linlin couldn't pretend to sleep for long.
"That's perfect, let me ask you, you've seen the higher-ups' decision about you online, what do you think?" Zheng Ziye looked at Su Yue, unable to help but admire this young man.
Although he was doing very dangerous things, he had never harmed an innocent person. Just based on this spirit, Zheng Ziye felt that he had some of his own style from back in the day.
"I haven't really thought it through yet, but I plan to go." Su Yue didn't hide it from Zheng Ziye and told him his plan.
"No, are you sure? Aren't you afraid of being like a meat bun thrown to a dog, going and never returning? You yourself are that meat bun!" Zheng Ziye looked at Su Yue, wondering what this kid was going to do again, truly afraid that he would lose himself in it, which would be the end.
"Don't worry, Uncle, I will definitely come back safely!" Su Yue knew this Uncle was also worried about him.
"Who said I was worried about you? I just... I just worry about what will happen if my Sweetie is too sad then!" Zheng Ziye said stubbornly.
"What are you talking about?" Wang Linlin finally came out of the room.
"You haven't eaten yet? Are you waiting for me?" Wang Linlin saw that nothing on the table had been touched and knew everyone was waiting for her.
"Of course, I wouldn't eat without my little princess!" Zheng Ziye said with a smile.
"Stop pretending, Uncle, I heard everything, Su Yue was the one who said he'd wait for me, not you!" Wang Linlin pulled Su Yue to the dining table and sat down, ready to eat.
"Since you said you're going to be the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, where will you live then?" Wang Linlin stared intently at Su Yue, not wanting to be diverted again.
"Well, I haven't thought about that yet, but there will definitely be a way then! Don't worry too much, let's eat quickly!" Su Yue knew that if Wang Linlin knew the address, she would definitely run to his place every few days.
The key was his current situation; Wang Linlin might be watched by others and used to threaten Su Yue. Su Yue really couldn't bear for Wang Linlin to be in danger again.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Wang Linlin's originally smiling face suddenly fell.
"Sweetie, look what you're saying now!" Zheng Ziye spoke to stop Wang Linlin. He knew what Su Yue meant and also knew Su Yue's worries. As Sweetie's family, Zheng Ziye also couldn't allow Wang Linlin to be in any danger.
"Eat first, don't talk about anything else for now! Otherwise, everyone get out!" Zheng Ziye had spoken, so Wang Linlin didn't say anything more.
"I'll go back after I finish eating!" Su Yue said to Wang Linlin.
Wang Linlin looked deeply at Su Yue, lowered her head, and said, "Okay, I'll see you off!" Wang Linlin didn't say anything else, and this reaction was not unexpected.
For Su Yue, Wang Linlin had always been this sensible.
"No need, you should stay home properly!" Su Yue wasn't comfortable with Wang Linlin seeing him off, so he refused her.
Wang Linlin didn't speak again, quietly eating the hot pot, not knowing what to say.
"So how do you plan to respond to the higher-ups?" Zheng Ziye said to Su Yue.
"Hmm! I'll reply online in a while! Just reply directly!" Su Yue didn't have a very specific idea yet.
"I advise you not to!" Zheng Ziye suddenly became serious.
"Is there a reason? Is it unsafe to do that?" Since getting off the plane, Su Yue hadn't really thought about this matter much. Having just finished a major plan he had been working on for a long time, Su Yue's mind was also very tired now.
"Once they find your address through your account, won't everything be over then! Your long-term plan will all go down the drain." Zheng Ziye could guess a little of Su Yue's motive from his actions.
But Su Yue's specific goal, he had never guessed.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing! I know!" Su Yue said to Zheng Ziye.
Zheng Ziye inadvertently kept looking at this boy who was favored by his niece, the same age as his niece, but his eyes lacked the arrogance and swagger of his peers.
On the contrary, Su Yue, who had done such world-shaking things, had clean eyes.
Zheng Ziye had investigated what Su Yue had done. What was strange was that Su Yue himself had done all sorts of incredible things, but he himself was still so clean.
Su Yue put down his chopsticks and bid farewell to Zheng Ziye and Wang Linlin: "I enjoyed the meal very much, so I'll be leaving now!" Su Yue waved at Wang Linlin, but Wang Linlin didn't pay attention to Su Yue.
"Then be careful, we won't see you off!" Zheng Ziye kept blocking the front, preventing Wang Linlin from going out and being in danger again.
"Don't worry, I know." After saying that, Su Yue turned and left.
Su Yue reflected on this move of his. The public reaction and the counterattacks made by Deng Liduō and Fells all satisfied Su Yue. When Su Yue left North Korea, he reached an agreement with North Korea that as long as he took the Statue of Liberty, he could gain the freedom he most desired.
Su Yue was tempted, so he came here.
Initially, the person Su Yue chose was never Deng Liduō. The reason he propped up Deng Liduō was simply because he needed a target, a target that could pull himself into the very center.
He needed someone who could have strong appeal without being threatening. In the process of negotiating with them, Su Yue discovered a clear difference.
The higher-ups were almost completely independent from the other major organizations. This was completely unacceptable for Su Yue's plan. The higher-ups had to be involved; only then could Su Yue make them weigh the pros and cons and give Su Yue the answer he wanted.
Although Su Yue's goal was the Statue of Liberty, he had never exposed this point. The realization of this goal was the result of North Korea's final negotiation with the United States, and he, Su Yue, must not appear here. Only in this way would Su Yue not have leverage in the hands of North Korea and the United States.
Su Yue had always known that no matter who it was, no matter the transaction, he could not give his full effort.
After returning to his residence, Su Yue sat in front of his computer and got busy. He knew that countless eyes were now staring at him, but not many people truly cared about national affairs.
They cared more about whether they could see a joke or have new topics of conversation.
Su Yue cleverly avoided the surveillance of the Central Intelligence Agency and countless netizens, finally pushing his reply to the top of the trending list.
"No way, the Great God really replied? What about the Hacker from before?"
"The Great God's position is still the Central Intelligence Agency, it hasn't changed!"
"The main point is, the Great God agreed!!!"
Su Yue looked at the comments that soared to nearly ten thousand in less than a minute and secretly sighed that there were indeed many people paying attention. He sat calmly in front of the screen, watching the Police Officers busy attacking, yet unable to affect him at all.
You can never interfere with me!
Fells and Deng Liduō among the higher-ups were somewhat stunned as they looked at Su Yue's reply.
"He really agreed? This can't be fake, right!" Fells was almost slow to react. He turned to look at Deng Liduō, seeking confirmation.
"So what do we do now? Should we start welcoming him?" Fells said with a helpless tug at the corner of his mouth.
They had originally anticipated that Su Yue might agree, but they thought he would propose some conditions. They had even prepared for their own stepping down and arranged for media publicity to recover from the decline and smoothly advance the next step of their plan.
However, Su Yue's actions completely disrupted their plan.
Their plan originally set two outcomes: one was that Su Yue agreed but with conditions. They analyzed that Su Yue had no deep hatred with them, and whether helping or plotting against them, Su Yue should have his own plan. They would use Su Yue's conditions as leverage, proceed as planned, and shape Su Yue's image through media publicity as someone deliberately disrupting the United States' domestic affairs.
The second was that Su Yue disagreed. They would use media publicity to portray Su Yue as someone who didn't know what was good for him, refusing the olive branch and insisting on causing destruction.
But clearly, neither of these plans needed to be implemented anymore.
Because Su Yue didn't follow their expectations at all. Not only did Su Yue not act as they expected, but even several major media outlets, including those they had contacted before with significant influence, began to turn against them in public opinion.
One article with over ten thousand comments wrote: "Can Su Yue, this Eastern Monkey King, defeat the corrupt Heavenly Court!"
Deng Liduō and Fells' faces turned green after seeing it. Who the corrupt Heavenly Court was referring to, the result was self-evident.
Just then, Deng Liduō's phone suddenly rang.
"Hello, may I ask who this is?"
"I'm Su Yue!" Su Yue leaned on the sofa, listening to Deng Liduō's sudden halt in breathing, and chuckled softly.
"Is there something you need?" Deng Liduō signaled to Fells that it was Su Yue's call, then quickly pressed the speakerphone button.
"It's nothing major, but I heard the simulated President election is the day after tomorrow, right?" Su Yue didn't originally intend to provoke Deng Liduō like this, but Deng Liduō's attitude towards the person who had helped him reach his current position made Su Yue somewhat dissatisfied.
"What else do you want? Burning down the Central Intelligence Agency isn't enough? Do you want to torment me now?" Deng Liduō became angry as soon as he heard his tone, feeling it was too much like Luo Lisheng. Back then, they hadn't treated Su Yue badly in terms of food and drink.
Didn't he feel any guilt?
"Of course I want to stop, but aren't you and Fells holding onto me?" Listening to Deng Liduō's voice, Su Yue felt like he was acting like a rogue.
"How are we holding onto you?" Deng Liduō didn't expect Su Yue to turn the tables at this moment, and his tone immediately became heavier.
"Heh, are you still trying to shirk responsibility now? Think before you speak. If it weren't for your greed and recklessness, wanting to use my live stream to gain votes, how would you be in this situation?"
Su Yue's words left Deng Liduō speechless.
Indeed, it was true that they wanted to use Su Yue back then, and it was also true that they later plotted against Su Yue. If they hadn't had such intentions back then, even if someone who looked like a delivery driver like Su Yue appeared, nothing would have happened.
Moreover, Su Yue had already made it clear that he was the person who had helped Deng Liduō before. But Deng Liduō didn't sense Su Yue's intention and instead regarded him as an enemy.
Just like that, they fell into Su Yue's traps again and again.
"I called today for no other purpose than to ask you, will I need to wear a suit and tie to work at the Central Intelligence Agency? After all, I'll be serving as the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency!" Su Yue's original intention was to provoke these two people who had lifted a rock only to drop it on their own feet.
"Yes!" After saying that, Deng Liduō hung up the phone. He had some other thoughts at the time, wanting to see if he could talk properly with Su Yue, after all, it was a foregone conclusion that Su Yue would be the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency now.
After the simulated general election, there would also be recognition from relevant government agencies, and he couldn't capsize at this point.
"The Central Intelligence Agency is appointing a new leader tomorrow, are we going?" Fells looked at Deng Liduō's bad mood, and his own mood slightly improved. Then he saw many welcome parties held by Su Yue's fans online.
"Go? Go where! What's there to go for! Wouldn't we just be humiliating ourselves by going there?" Deng Liduō's anger hadn't completely subsided, and seeing Fells acting as if nothing had happened made him even angrier.
"Deng Liduō, we might have forgotten something, the fake Su Yue we arranged at the Central Intelligence Agency hasn't been exposed yet, on the contrary, everyone thinks it was Su Yue's prank!" As soon as Fells said it, Deng Liduō was stunned on the spot.
"Oh, right, Su Yue hasn't exposed us yet, could it be..." Deng Liduō originally thought Su Yue might bring it up when the government agencies vote at the very end, but there was no need for that at all.
