The moment the embassy was hit by the "missile", Venice Street was completely chaotic. A corner of the entire embassy was cut off, exposing the steel bars in the concrete. The splattered cement blocks even hit the armored vehicles at the intersection of the street, demonstrating the strength of the impact.
The UA soldiers leaning against the armored vehicles peeked out, looked at the messy embassy, and couldn't help but ask.
“WTF？ What the hell is that? "
"Missile? Or something else? "
"It doesn't look like it … Don't you think the thing that just fell looks like a person?"
If it weren't for the police desperately trying to stop them, the reporters would have rushed into the embassy immediately. They were eager to know what had just hit the embassy, and they had reason to believe that the audience waiting in front of the TV was eager to know as well.
SWAT leaned against the door of the embassy with the automatic rifles in their hands loaded. They were just waiting for the commander's order to rush in and teach the terrorists who beat them up. However, in the face of the prepared report from his subordinates, Sheriff Michael Williams seemed quite hesitant.
He had not yet obtained authorization from the Capitol.
In other words, the Capitol had not yet obtained authorization from Xin.
Lawrence leaned against the streetlight and pressed the phone to his ear. This was the tenth call he received. Half of them were from the Capitol, and the other half were from the Capitol and the FBA. Everyone wanted to know what had happened. What had hit the embassy? Were the people in the embassy still alive?
And …
Did the war break out?
Lawrence saw from the corner of his eyes that the people outside the cordon didn't have the slightest awareness of the seriousness of the situation. Many people were busy uploading the photos they had taken to Twitter or Facebook to share their shock at this moment.
"I swear! I just saw it! It's definitely not a missile, it's a person! No, it's Iron Man! Jesus Christ, this is crazy! "
"… Do superheroes really exist?"
"Why aren't our police moving? What are they waiting for! "
Lawrence retracted his gaze and sighed. He turned his gaze to the half-collapsed embassy and prayed in his heart.
Please don't let anything happen …
…
The muzzle was smoking. He put away the tactical rifle in his hand and removed the power armor on his body.
Since he got the information he wanted, there was no need for Cham Rothschild to live. As a collateral relative of the Rothschild family, he was more than three generations away from Carmen. He didn't have any value as a bargaining chip.
As the gatekeeper, he knew far more than Jiang Chen imagined.
Every time the 33rd degree members of the Freemasonry held a secret meeting, as the gatekeeper, he would stand at the door of the meeting room. Although he didn't purposely try to eavesdrop on the contents of the meeting, he was very clear about the list of members of the 33 degrees and the gathering location.
He took out the satellite phone, put the rifle aside, sat on the sofa, and dialed Ayesha's number.
"Are you alright?"
In Ayesha's voice, there was a rare hint of anxiety and panic.
When he heard the familiar voice, Jiang Chen smiled in relief.
"I'm fine. The crisis at the embassy has been resolved. Also, I found a lot of interesting information from the gatekeeper. "
Ayesha let out a sigh of relief and complained in a small voice.
"Next time … don't do this."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Jiang Chen said nonchalantly. He leaned back on the cushion of the sofa, crossed his legs, and said, "The rest of the work is finishing up. I need you to send more people to Europe. It's time to end this."
Ayesha closed her eyes slightly and said seriously, "Leave it to me."
"Also, tell Zhang Yaping that I need the Xin government to put pressure on the UA government. I happen to have a very interesting confession in my hand. It happens to belong to a CIB agent. "Jiang Chen grinned." This will be our breakthrough to blackmail the Capitol. "
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen stretched and looked at Zhu Yu, who was lying on the other sofa.
The Beta-4 drone had performed a simple hemostasis and bandaging on her wound. After completing its task, it hovered next to her. Jiang Chen called the drone back through the holographic screen and threw it back into the storage dimension.
The drone downstairs was still hovering at the door of the hostage room, but there were no mercenaries still alive in the entire mansion. The power armor certainly couldn't be hidden from everyone's eyes. Presumably, many embassy staff who were rescued would be puzzled by this. As for why he wasn't in the embassy, these were all secrets that needed to be kept.
Although there were a lot of troubles, Jiang Chen believed that Xia Shiyu would definitely think of a solution for him.
After dealing with the aftermath, Jiang Chen called the Capitol while the outside world was still in shock about the situation in the embassy.
After the call was connected, Jiang Chen unceremoniously took the lead and said in a calm but angry tone.
"Mrs. Clinton, I need an explanation for this attack."
"I'm really sorry about what happened to you and your embassy staff, Mr. Jiang Chen. I understand your anger and pain, but please believe me, we are also victims of terrorism. A total of 40 Americans died in the attack. Some of them were police officers, while others were ordinary citizens. They may be the father of a child, or the husband of a wife — "
Although her tone was quite sincere, her attitude of putting herself in the position of a victim undoubtedly removed all responsibility. Should I say, no wonder she was the former Secretary of State? On diplomatic issues, Hill was undoubtedly a difficult opponent.
However, Jiang Chen mercilessly interrupted her words.
"Do you want to listen to a recording first?" Jiang Chen grinned.
Hill was taken aback and didn't understand what Jiang Chen meant.
"I'll take that as a yes." Jiang Chen turned on the holographic screen of his watch and played the recording obtained by Penny through the truth-telling serum.
…
(Sound of the wind)
Ghost Agent: "What are you doing here?"
Stephen: "Just in case."
Ghost Agent: "What do you mean just in case?"
Stephen: "Literally … If he comes, I'll kill him. If he doesn't come, then the operation fails … "
Ghost Agent: "Who is he?"
Stephen: "Your boss, Jiang Chen."
…
When the recording was halfway played, Jiang Chen noticed that even the breathing on the other side of the phone almost stopped. Half a minute after he turned off the recording, there was no word from the other side of the phone.
The CIB was suspected of murdering invited foreign dignitaries and even colluding with terrorists. Once exposed, this scandal would not only destroy the diplomatic credibility of the UA for decades, but it would even shake the foundation of the current federal government. If the Republican Party used this as an excuse, the Hill administration would become the shortest presidency in a century.
Just as Jiang Chen expected, it was a heavy bargaining chip.
With a curvature on his face, Jiang Chen leaned back on the sofa and patiently waited for Hill's reply.
"If you don't have an impression of the name Stephen, I can remind you appropriately. His identity is the head of the CIB agent, part of the Ukraine Issue Action Group. And now, his people are in our hands. "
After a long silence, Hill didn't beat around the bush and said.
"Just say it, what do you want?"
