697: Who is belittling in person?

"Ah? Is that okay?" Li Si hadn't expected that he could stay here.

He hadn't told Su Yue before because he didn't want to cause him any more trouble, but in the end, his situation was still exposed.

"I don't have a problem with it. It's good that you can help me look after them!" Su Yue said to Li Si, implying that he didn't mind.

"Come on! Live with us. If you behave well, the rent can be less!" Zheng Ziye wanted to keep this unfortunate child.

"Alright, you stay here. I'm going back first. My home won't keep you!" With that, Su Yue left.

After watching Su Yue walk away, Li Si went inside with Zheng Ziye to rest.

The next day, Su Yue stood at the door of the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency's office, waiting for Li Si to appear.

"Ah? Director? Why are you standing here?" Li Si happily came to work, but when he saw Su Yue standing at the door with a serious face, he was so startled he almost jumped.

He quickly greeted him.

"What do you think! You just got a home and now you're late?" Su Yue said, pretending to be serious.

"This... this... Director, I really didn't do it on purpose!" Li Si explained awkwardly.

"Alright, there's a mission today! Go find the agent group quickly, time is urgent, let's move!" After hearing this, Li Si immediately went to find the agent group.

"We have a mission to carry out now, hurry up!"

By the time Su Yue got downstairs, the Deputy Team Leaders of the candidate team were also in place.

"Hello, Director, Monroe is here!"

"Hello, Director, Jesse is here!"

"Hello, Director, Mullen is here!"

"Hello, Director, Luther is here!"

"Hello, Director, Swiner is here!"

Su Yue looked at them standing together and asked with a serious expression, "Have you all found the information for last night's mission? Now gather all the information for Monroe, and Monroe will send it to me!"

This simulated election's mission was not just to maintain on-site security and order, but more importantly, to ensure the candidates were not problematic and whether there were any deals between them.

Su Yue's purpose was not just to use the Central Intelligence Agency.

"Director, I've sent it to you!" Monroe sent the information while sitting in the car.

Su Yue looked at the information in his hand; the relationships behind the three Presidential Candidates participating in the simulated election were indeed complex.

First is Deng Liduōō, who is currently ranked first. They still haven't found his connection with the higher-ups.

Perhaps for everyone now, Deng Liduōō is like this, the actor with the best public perception.

Second is Minsweite, who came from behind.

Su Yue looked at the current overall voting situation and understood clearly; it didn't exceed his expectations.

Third is still the Governor; his votes have never fallen out of the top three.

The Governor is clearly a cover.

"The Presidential competition is about to begin! First, let's welcome our candidates!" The host was still enthusiastically introducing the three people Su Yue had just reviewed the information on.

Su Yue led the agent group to stand aside.

His current task was mainly to cooperate with the Police Officers to maintain public order.

The Special Case Team was here this time mainly because several bombing incidents had occurred last time.

When Deng Liduōō saw Su Yue arrive, his eyes were heavy, and he was very worried.

Would Su Yue just let it go like this?

"Okay, now let's invite the candidate with the highest number of votes – Mr. Deng Liduō! Welcome everyone!"

Deng Liduōō slowly walked onto the stage and began his speech leisurely.

"Friends, I am Deng Liduōō, and this is the second time I have stood on this stage.

I can feel everyone's enthusiasm.

I am here today to convey a core concept: our country needs every single one of us, and I aspire to be the voice of your will..."

Su Yue watched Deng Liduōō's speech, pondering how he could make his own words sharper.

"Alright, that concludes my speech.

It is a pleasure to meet everyone on this occasion."

After the Presidential Candidate's speech, it was the reporter question session, a segment that is always so – captivating!

"Mr. Deng Liduō, you repeatedly claim to be the representative of the people's will.

I would like to ask, is this just a propaganda strategy? After all, so far, you don't seem to have any significant political achievements!" The reporter's question was as sharp as ever.

Deng Liduōō smiled and replied, "The representative of the people's will, as everyone understands it, should be the convergence of all the people's voices.

Dissatisfaction with local policies takes time to improve.

But thankfully, we have already integrated opinions from most states, take our current Washington D.C. for example."

"They are deeply dissatisfied with the security issues at night.

There are many hidden dangers to public safety, and many people cannot feel safe going out at night or ensure their own safety.

This is an important opinion I have collected."

"This is also the direction I will strive to improve in the future.

We United States people should not have such worries; we should be able to roam freely like the freedom we pursue.

This is our goal, isn't it?" Deng Liduōō retorted.

The host looked at the time and said, "Alright, thank you to the reporter friends for your questions, but now we need to invite the next speaker to the stage, please welcome the Federal Court candidate, Minsweite!"

Minsweite stood on the podium, looked around, and remained silent for a long time, leaving the audience at a loss.

"I don't really have anything to say, because I know that I am able to stand here largely because of my father's operations.

There are also many netizens who want to see me make a fool of myself and see my final failure." Minsweite sighed.

Then he said, "I do want to become President, but I also know that I have problems now, so I am still very grateful to everyone who voted for me.

Now, I just want to tell everyone one thing!"

"What was the reason for the collapse of the Central Building? I haven't appeared in the public eye for so long because I have been investigating this matter.

I don't believe my father would do such a thing, so I must find the truth."

The audience below the stage was in an uproar.

Could there be a twist in this matter?

Minsweite displayed all the information he had found on the screen and then said, "Everyone is right, my father is the real culprit!

I cannot escape this fact.

I initially distrusted the investigation results of our country's institutions so much."

"Leading to the situation I am facing now.

I believe that as his son, I am not worthy of participating in the Presidential election anymore.

I announce that I am withdrawing!" After saying that, Minsweite left the Presidential simulated election venue.

Without any reluctance.

The scene was temporarily out of control, with discussions everywhere.

Deng Liduōō, who was originally highly anticipated, suddenly lost a lot of attention.

But Deng Liduōō didn't seem to care.

Even if this matter gained more attention, what then?

Minsweite can no longer appear here, and what is there to fear from the remaining Governor?

At this time, Deng Liduōō had transformed his initial fear of Su Yue into a beautiful vision for the future.

"Uh, we should admire the decision Mr. Minsweite made.

This is not only his personal choice but also shows the impartiality and selflessness of our other government agencies.

We jointly wish Mr. Minsweite a better future!" The host was trying his best to smooth things over.

He didn't want to experience the same awkward situation as last time.

As a top host in the industry, he didn't want to take this job, but the country directly assigned it, so he couldn't refuse and had to bite the bullet.

As expected, Deng Liduōō became the final winner.

Su Yue and his team's work also came to an end.

On the way back, Jesse's face was gloomy, staring intently at Su Yue.

"Jesse, what do you mean by staring at the Director like that?" Luther patted Jesse's shoulder.

"I have a question I want to ask the Director." Jesse's expression was serious, as if it was a big deal.

Su Yue turned around and said, "Go ahead, what is it?"

Jesse mustered up his courage and said, "Director, why didn't you reveal that the Governor has connections with the higher-ups?

Wasn't our investigation last night in vain?

Or, Director, is it because you are not from our country, so... so you didn't say it?"

Monroe was concentrating on driving, but when he heard Jesse's words, he quickly warned, "What are you talking about?

Are you doubting the Director just because of those online rumors?

Have you forgotten who saved you during the assassination attempt, and who brought you to your current position?"

Jesse had already mustered up his courage to speak, and being questioned by Monroe like this made him feel a bit embarrassed.

"Director... I didn't mean that."

Su Yue saw Jesse's difficulty and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm not blaming you, I just want to explain."

"First, we do have evidence to prove that the higher-ups have connections, but have we found the specific individuals?

Have we found the specific use of this expense?

Or, even if we expose this news now, what can we do?

Given the Governor's current reputation, everyone will only vent their anger on him; who will still pay attention to the higher-ups?"

"Furthermore, even if someone is not just watching the show, if this matter is exposed, the only one who will be held accountable in the end will be our Central Intelligence Agency.

I know you want to ask why."

"Why?

There are two reasons.

First, the public will definitely focus on the cause of this matter; have we found it?

Obviously not.

We don't know why they have mutual benefit, and we don't even know which high-level official is colluding with outsiders; we can't find evidence.

In this way, the public's accusations will only be directed at us in the end!"

"Also, what about the result?

Did they give the Governor this money to make him stand out among the Presidential Candidates, or to pave the way for someone?

We don't know any of this now.

So, what reason did I have to reveal this matter at that time?"

After Su Yue finished explaining, he stopped talking and turned his head away.

He didn't see Jesse's regretful look, and even if he did, he wouldn't care too much, because he had just received an important piece of news: Deng Liduōō had started to act.

Deng Liduōō had contacted him several times before, but he had refused.

Now he wanted to see what other tricks Deng Liduōō could pull.

"I'm sorry, Director, I shouldn't have doubted you randomly.

This is my fault, I apologize, Director!" Jesse bowed deeply to Su Yue.

Su Yue helped him up and said, "It's not necessary.

You have your persistence, and I have my considerations.

Just keep working hard in the future."

After saying that, Jesse happily left.

Su Yue walked into a coffee shop.

"What is it? What do you want?" Su Yue said coldly.

Sitting opposite him was Deng Liduōō, who was about to have his Presidential inauguration ceremony.

"I am just one step away.

I am very grateful that you didn't cause me trouble before.

Tell me, what do you want?

I can satisfy you." Deng Liduōō said kindly to Su Yue.

"What is it? Are you planning to hit me first and then offer a sweet date?

You spread things about me in the rumors, and now you're not admitting it?" Su Yue directly stated the matter, not wanting to beat around the bush.
