698: Breaking into the Hacker Alliance

“That’s right, I did it. But when you took this position, did you ever think it was my contribution?” Deng Liduō showed no sign of guilt, instead looking smug.

“Are you saying I got the position of Director of the Central Intelligence Agency because of your ability?” Su Yue asked, looking at Deng Liduō.

“Of course!”

“Thank you, now get out of my sight!” Su Yue no longer gave Deng Liduō face and turned to leave.

In this short amount of time, Su Yue could do many things, many things that Deng Liduō couldn't understand.

Tomorrow was the President's inauguration ceremony. As long as tomorrow passed, the President would be confirmed, and Deng Liduō would become the final winner. However, unexpectedly, more and more inaccurate rumors about Su Yue spread, and even his schedule seemed to be circulating as if it were real.

The discussion about Su Yue on the internet was in full swing.

Su Yue counted the number of people and realized he was about to go on stage to speak. He straightened his clothes, preparing to go on stage.

“Next, please welcome our Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, and the only foreign officer, Mr. Su Yue!” the host announced.

Su Yue walked onto the podium with a serious expression. Deng Liduō, surrounded by the crowd, inadvertently saw Su Yue going on stage, and his worry did not lessen at all. During this time, he had tried to contact Su Yue multiple times, but Su Yue had refused him. Deng Liduō had even considered sending someone to assassinate Su Yue at one point, but the plan was ultimately not carried out.

Now, he was just one step away from success, and he only hoped that Su Yue wouldn't cause him trouble at this critical moment. Deng Liduō silently prayed in the crowd, hoping Su Yue wouldn't reveal anything.

After Su Yue went on stage, he simply introduced himself and was about to step down. However, Minsweite suddenly stood up and asked, “Wait a moment, I'd like to ask Mr. Su Yue, what exactly is your relationship with Deng Liduō?” As soon as the media heard this sensitive topic, they immediately shifted their attention from Deng Liduō to Su Yue and Minsweite.

Su Yue looked at the rapidly moving figures of the media and sighed inwardly: This speed is even faster than Spider-Man!

“Excuse me, I don't quite understand what you mean,” Su Yue said, pretending to be confused.

“You don't understand? Then I'll play a recording for everyone to hear!” A hint of slyness flashed in Minsweite's eyes.

The recording began to play, and a rough voice asked, “What exactly do you want me to do now?” Although the voice was somewhat similar to Su Yue's, in the surround sound environment, no one paid much attention to this point.

“Live stream! Make sure you live stream it well, do you hear me!” Deng Liduō's voice was clearly distinguishable, and everyone knew it was him as soon as they heard it.

After a segment of the recording played, Su Yue's voice did not appear, only Deng Liduō continued to say, “Live stream it well, and I'll give you a large sum of money then!” The recording ended here, and everyone looked at Su Yue, waiting for his response.

“Heh, does Mr. Minsweite still want to report me for corruption and bribery?” Su Yue said calmly.

“Isn't that the case?” Minsweite resumed his arrogant demeanor.

“How can you be so sure that I don't have other things to do here today?” Su Yue's words instantly made Deng Liduō's face freeze. Was Su Yue really going to reveal what happened back then?

“You were about to step down just now, what else do you want to say? I don't think your current behavior is professional!” Minsweite hit the public's pain point again, making Su Yue even more unpopular in everyone's eyes.

Su Yue sneered, took out the recording equipment he had prepared long ago. He held up the USB drive and said to everyone, “This is the original recording, if you don't believe it, listen!”

The recording began to play, and Su Yue recalled the scene of sending the email containing the recording to the Federal Court last night. Not long before the banquet began, he had specifically made a call to Minsweite.

“Hi, hello, this is Minsweite,” Minsweite's voice came from the other end of the phone.

“What? Are you giving up on watching Deng Liduō now?” Su Yue asked tentatively.

“What does it have to do with you?” Minsweite remained calm.

“Of course it doesn't have to do with me, but all the evidence you found seems to be from the Central Intelligence Agency, right!” Su Yue said and hung up the phone, leaving Minsweite to repeatedly play the audio file.

Minsweite had also investigated the relationship between Su Yue and Deng Liduō before, but had never found a breakthrough. In the end, he could only choose to sacrifice a pawn to save the king at the presidential conference, preserving his position in the Federal Court.

Is there a connection between the Central Intelligence Agency and Deng Liduō? Or was Su Yue able to ascend to the position of Director of the Central Intelligence Agency with Deng Liduō's support? Minsweite's thoughts surged like an opened faucet.

He had done his best to get this opportunity to ask a question, just to seize the initiative at the last moment. To avoid difficult questions from reporters, he chose to take the initiative at this time.

However, it wasn't until the last moment that the matter Minsweite had ordered people to investigate yielded results, but he didn't dare to ask this question in such an important setting. That is, the person behind Su Yue being able to overcome all objections and be recommended as the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency was precisely Deng Liduō!

The stone in Minsweite's heart finally fell, and he walked straight over to question Su Yue.

After Su Yue's recording finished playing, everyone was slow to recover for a long time, including Minsweite, who had been full of confidence just now.

Su Yue's recording showed the most complete dialogue. Deng Liduō's attempt on Su Yue (actually played by Luo Lisheng) was clearly heard by everyone. No one expected Deng Liduō to be such a person, who would actually have someone impersonate Su Yue to frame him.

Now, everyone looked at Su Yue with eyes full of sympathy. Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Su Yue picked up the microphone and continued, “I know my identity has caused many misunderstandings. As the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, I have decided to announce this news directly: I intend to resign.”

“Because of the special nature of my identity, the United States has been under pressure from various sides. I originally had no intention of letting everyone bear too much pressure, and this is something I originally wanted to explain to everyone. Taking this opportunity, I will say it: I intend to resign and no longer serve as the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. Thank you all for your care during this long time.”

“At the same time, I will publish the relevant inside information we have investigated during this period online, of course, published under my name. I hope everyone can have confidence in the Central Intelligence Agency again. Thank you all.”

After speaking, Su Yue left the stage. He said goodbye to this identity, and the agent group of the Central Intelligence Agency escorted him into the car, getting farther and farther away from here.

Monroe looked at Su Yue with a grim face and asked, “Director, you're resigning? Why? How did none of us know?”

“Yeah, why didn't you even tell us? You don't trust us too much!” Jesse also complained.

Only Luther and Martin remained silent.

Seeing everyone's low spirits, Su Yue knew he had handled this matter somewhat improperly, so he could only comfort them, “Sorry, this has nothing to do with you, it's my own decision.”

Su Yue returned to the Central Intelligence Agency with them. This was the last time they were all together. After this, no one knew what their identities would be when they met again, whether they would be enemies or friends was unknown.

“Let's say goodbye here, I don't have anything to pack anyway.” Su Yue stood outside the door, not planning to go in again. He was worried that if he went in again, he would see more relevant information, and it would be difficult to explain to everyone then.

Li Si stood in the corner, watching Su Yue intently, and seeing that he didn't even plan to go in, he felt a little lost. He wasn't unaware of what happened to Su Yue at the banquet, but Su Yue's attitude at this moment made him feel as if he had been abandoned.

Once again, abandoned. Su Yue didn't even think of coming in to say goodbye to him.

After saying goodbye to them, Su Yue returned to Zheng Tiantian's house, intending to wait for Li Si to return and explain the matter to him properly.

However, the hour hand had already pointed to 10 o'clock, but Li Si had not returned.

Zheng Tiantian sat on the sofa, her face gradually becoming serious: “According to the time, he should have been home long ago. Does the Central Intelligence Agency have a mission?” Su Yue carefully recalled the mission situations when he was at the Central Intelligence Agency.

“Probably not, maybe something unexpected happened temporarily. I'll go back and check first!” With that, Su Yue stood up, grabbed his clothes, and left in a hurry.

“Slow down, call me when you get there!” Zheng Ziye shouted at Su Yue's retreating back.

Su Yue quickly arrived at the Central Intelligence Agency. Since he had not officially resigned yet, he was still the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.

“Good evening, Director!” The guard at the door greeted Su Yue as usual.

“Has the Deputy Director left work?” Su Yue didn't want to go in. It was inconvenient for him to enter the Central Intelligence Agency with his current identity.

“Deputy Director? He left work long ago! When you and the brothers from the agent group came back, he was standing behind, and he didn't leave until after you left.”

Su Yue hadn't expected that Li Si was watching nearby at the time, and he hadn't noticed him at all. Thinking of this, his heart tightened, worried that Li Si might have overthought things.

Did Li Si go back again? Su Yue was at a loss now, experiencing a feeling of losing control for the first time. On the way home, he kept thinking about where Li Si might have gone.

Or what was he planning to do? Since he saw me, why didn't he come out?

Su Yue had no clue what to do. Just then, Zheng Ziye's call came in.

“How is it? What's the situation now?” Zheng Ziye had been waiting at home for news from Su Yue, but there was still no sign of anything, so he had no choice but to call.

“Still no news!” Su Yue could only tell Zheng Ziye the current situation.

“Then what should we do?” Zheng Ziye also had no clue. After getting along for the past few days, he felt that Li Si was a very good child, so how could he suddenly disappear? Zheng Tiantian also stayed by Zheng Ziye's side, paying attention to the news.

Hearing Su Yue say he still hadn't found him, she took the phone and said, “Do you remember what you told us about Li Si's family? Li Si was abandoned after being abducted by his mother. Maybe he thought you abandoned him too!” Zheng Tiantian voiced her thoughts.

“What you said is very possible. The guard also told me the same thing at the time, but I really can't find him now! I have no clue!” Su Yue experienced this kind of worry for a friend for the first time.

“Don't you have surveillance around you? Can't you check?” Zheng Tiantian remembered that there was surveillance there when she went last time.

“Didn't it get burned down? It's still under construction and not complete yet!” Su Yue tried to calm himself down. Li Si was still a young boy. Even if he was disappointed in himself, where else could he go?

Su Yue went through Li Si's life experience in his mind and suddenly thought of a crucial point.

“He might be at the Hacker Alliance.” Su Yue located Li Si at the Hacker Alliance. The Hacker Alliance is a very famous organization, but at the same time, it is mysterious and unpredictable, only heard of, never seen.

“Is there a way to find out where the Hacker Alliance is now?” Su Yue asked Zheng Tiantian.

“Do you think Li Si might be there?”

“That's right, logically speaking, he might be there.” Su Yue's words were not very certain, he was just temporarily locating him there.

“I know where the Hacker Alliance is.” Zheng Tiantian was a psychological counselor with professional ethics and should not reveal patient information, but in this situation, she had no choice.

“How do you know about that organization?” Zheng Ziye had originally wanted to find others to help, but he didn't expect Sweetie to know, but he was also curious about how Sweetie knew about this organization.

“I received a patient at the time. He was a senior manager in the Hacker Alliance and suffered from severe anxiety. During the treatment, he kept mentioning two locations. I took him home to one of them when he was emotionally unstable. I think the other one should be the location of the Hacker Alliance.”

After hearing this, Su Yue immediately asked Zheng Tiantian to send him the location.

He quickly rushed to that location. The place was not remote, but for some reason, the pedestrian traffic was extremely sparse, so there was no hustle and bustle on this street, only the people who lived here.

“Excuse me, this place is not open now!” The guard at the door stopped Su Yue, not letting him in. Su Yue took off his hat and said coldly, “What? You don't even recognize me now?”

“You are?” The guard at the door looked at Su Yue, feeling somewhat familiar, but not entirely sure.

“What? Do I have to introduce myself to get in now? I'm just here to get my computer!”

Su Yue didn't come here rashly. He had been observing here for a long time and found that when the people inside came out, they all had their own computers in their hands, and they were all wearing masks and other necessary equipment.

“Ah, Lord Xilu, I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you with your mask on!” The guard seemed to remember something and continued, “Look, I reminded you at the time, but you didn't hear me!”

“Well, here I am, troubling you to make a trip, and I've come personally to get something again.”

Seeing the way the guard spoke, Su Yue guessed that this Lord Xilu must be a significant figure. According to Su Yue's understanding of this alliance, it was not difficult to deduce that there must be a considerable number of people here, otherwise it wouldn't be worthy of being called an alliance.
