At ten o 'clock in the morning, Zhang Yaping's chief of staff visited Jiang Chen's mansion.
Because of the arrival of a guest, Lilith finally left the sofa and went to the balcony with the Phantom helmet.
Xia Shiyu was now working in the Future Building, and Natasha went to the embassy as usual. As the only hostess in the mansion, Ayesha made a cup of black tea for each of them and then stood behind Jiang Chen.
The tall and thin chief of staff seemed quite reserved.
After the departure of the previous chief of staff, it was the first time the new chief of staff visited on behalf of the president. At President Zhang's inauguration dinner, he greeted Jiang Chen, but it was the first time they had such a formal exchange.
After sitting on the sofa in the living room, the chief of staff first explained his purpose.
"President Zhang is on a diplomatic visit to South American countries and can't come in person, so I came on his behalf."
"I know." Jiang Chen smiled and looked at the chief of staff. "Don't be so nervous, just treat it like your own home."
The chief of staff smiled, and his stiff shoulders relaxed slightly. After a pause, he continued.
"This is the case. For the Tokyo Olympics in August this year, we are expected to send 210 athletes to Tokyo. President Zhang wants me to consult you on whether to attend the opening ceremony. "
Under normal circumstances, whether leaders attended the opening ceremony also reflected the diplomatic relations between the two countries to a large extent.
Zhang Yaping usually asked for Jiang Chen's opinion on issues involving diplomatic strategy.
For example, his visit to South American countries was carried out at Jiang Chen's behest. On the surface, it was to open up opportunities for Xin companies in the South American market, but in fact, it was to pave the way for Celestial Trade's Global Grid to enter the backyard of the UA.
Jiang Chen smiled and said softly.
"I don't have any opinions. Since they have recently been actively seeking to participate in the Earth Defense Alliance and corrected the mistakes they have made, then we might as well make some gestures. "
After hearing Jiang Chen's words, the chief of staff took a moment to process, then he also laughed.
"I understand what you mean."
"Is there anything else?" Jiang Chen leaned back on the sofa, looked at the chief of staff, and asked in a relaxed tone.
"There is one more thing." The chief of staff nodded, and his expression began to turn serious. "Just two hours ago, we secretly met with a confidant sent by the Colombian opposition leader at the Xin Embassy in Ecuador."
With the economic growth brought by Celestial Trade's Global Grid and the empty promise of the space elevator, Ecuador was the only South American country that was friendly to Xin and Celestial Trade. Jiang Chen was not surprised that the Colombian opposition could smoothly enter Ecuador to meet with the Xin delegation.
What really surprised Jiang Chen was that the Colombian opposition chose to contact them at this sensitive period.
"Oh?" Jiang Chen frowned. "What did he say?"
"He brought a warning from the Colombian opposition." The chief of staff looked at Jiang Chen solemnly and said, "The CIB is planning a murder against President Zhang. Based on the information he provided, a Mexican drug lord and an American-Colombian will be involved in this murder. It is expected that when the Xin delegation arrives in Colombia, they will frame the conservative forces in Colombia. "
After listening to the words of the chief of staff, Jiang Chen's pupils enlarged with a touch of surprise, and he turned to look at Ayesha behind him.
Facing his questioning gaze, Ayesha gently shook her head, indicating that she had not received any information in this regard.
Jiang Chen's gaze returned to the chief of staff, his index finger gently tapped on the armrest of the sofa, and he fell into deep thought.
The CIB was planning to murder President Zhang, which was a very serious accusation.
If the situation was true, it could even trigger a war between the two countries.
However, there were two points that Jiang Chen did not understand.
Even the Ghost Agents were not aware of the information, how did the Colombian opposition get the news in advance?
If the information was true, then another question arose. Why did the CIB choose this time to attack the leader of Xin?
Could it be that the Colombian opposition was lying? In order to prevent contact between Xin and the current Colombian government?
It was indeed possible, and the possibility was not small.
After all, the life and death of the Colombian opposition completely depended on Celestial Trade's attitude toward the Colombian government. If there was anyone who was most unwilling to see the Xin delegation visit Colombia, it would undoubtedly be the people who were preparing to rebel.
But did they have the courage to lie to him?
Jiang Chen's eyebrows furrowed.
He always felt that things were not so simple.
Seeing that Jiang Chen did not speak, the chief of staff coughed and asked.
"… President Zhang asked me to ask your opinion on whether to adjust the delegation's visit to Colombia."
Generally, when this kind of thing happened, it was better to believe it was true than not. Even if the trip to Colombia was not canceled, the visit time would be adjusted.
However, after a moment of deliberation, Jiang Chen's reply was beyond the expectations of the chief of staff.
"I will increase the security around him so that he doesn't have to worry."
"You mean …"
"The itinerary will not be adjusted."
"This …" Although there was some hesitation, the chief of staff reluctantly nodded. "Okay."
The meeting was over.
Jiang Chen sent the chief of staff to the door.
After the car from the Presidential Palace drove away, Jiang Chen looked back at Ayesha, who was standing at the entrance.
"What do you think?"
"There are too many doubts," Ayesha said softly. Ayesha whispered, "This year is the election year. Even if they want to start a war, they won't choose this time. In addition, if it is the Hill government, their strategy has now become conservative, and it is unlikely that they will make such a risky move. "
Jiang Chen nodded.
He thought the same as Ayesha.
He didn't think that after facing countless failures, the CIB would still be so sure that their plan would not be discovered by Ghost Agents. Just a few months ago in the spy war in Nippon, they should have thoroughly experienced the strength of Ghost Agents.
Could it be Morgan?
No, it was also impossible.
Although they would become vested interests in the war, it was definitely not a war where the outcome was uncertain, or even a war that might cause unbearable consequences.
"I will immediately send someone to South America to investigate this matter, and at the same time, I will be responsible for protecting Zhang Yaping's safety," Ayesha said softly.
"Mhmm, I'll leave the investigation to you. As for President Zhang's safety … "Jiang Chen looked up at the balcony upstairs, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face." I have a more suitable candidate. "
