"No." Gerard replied bluntly.
"Heh..."
Mason pushed his glasses up, a barely noticeable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
This was precisely the result he had been waiting for.
"Now, I will announce the decision of the hearing."
Mason cleared his throat and said:
"In view of your repeated failures in nurous operations, causing extrely negative impacts on our country’s reputation worldwide, Congress has decided to remove you from your position as Deputy Defense Minister."
Gerard sat in the chair, his expression unchanged.
This outco was within his expectations.
For many years, Mason had coveted his position.
Now there’s an opportunity, Mason would certainly not let it go easily, relentlessly pursuing him.
But instinctively, Gerard glanced at Campbell.
To remove him, Mason alone wouldn’t be enough, surely Campbell was involved as well.
Thinking of this, a mocking smile appeared at the corner of Gerard’s mouth.
A group of ignorant people, when you face Lin Jingzhan’s son alone, you’ll know how difficult he is to deal with.
Suddenly, Gerard felt relieved.
Having been in this position for so many years, he was already at retirent age.
Even if all his duties were revoked, it wasn’t a big deal, just that he left without honor.
But the real show is yet to co; just relying on those two to deal with Lin Jingzhan and his son, even God would laugh at them.
Campbell sensed Gerard’s gaze, but he said nothing.
Calmly leaned back in his chair, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
"Gerard, do you have any defense to offer?" Mason asked formally.
"No more."
Gerard shrugged, "I just hope the hearing ends quickly."
"Alright, I declare the hearing closed."
Mason said:
"Congratulations, you can enjoy your life freely from now on; on the contrary, I still have to work, which isn’t good at all."
Facing Mason’s rubbing salt in his wounds, Gerard was unmoved.
He stood up, stretched, and casually walked out of the hearing.
This ti, no official vehicle ca to pick him up, but having been a high-ranking official for so many years, he could still afford a driver.
Walking out of the building, Gerard got into his car and drove towards ho.
anwhile, the participants of the hearing also began to leave one after another.
Mason and Campbell walked behind, whispering to each other.
"Gerard’s era has ended, I hope we’ll have a pleasant cooperation in the future."
"I believe we can create miracles." Campbell said.
"But the statue was stolen; this matter is very important, do you have a specific plan?"
"I guess the statue might be in Joker’s hands."
"Joker?"
Mason looked at Campbell in surprise.
"You an Moon has really appeared?"
"Very likely." Campbell said:
"You must understand, not only is he the rit Team Leader of the Central Guards Brigade, but also Joker’s son. With such a major incident, he cannot remain indifferent, secretly sending Moon to execute the task; such actions are completely understandable."
Mason was silent; the matter felt troubleso to him.
"Do you know anything about the person nad Moon?"
Campbell shook his head.
"That person is extrely mysterious, with few and scarce information about her, but it’s certain her strength is very high."
"Compared to Song Jinmin?"
Campbell laughed.
"Don’t forget, Song Jinming is unbeatable below S-Class, and Moon is just a youngster. Even if comparing, one should compare with Joker."
Mason’s face turned even darker.
"You an she has abilities comparable to Joker?"
"Yes, otherwise she wouldn’t deserve the title Moon."
"How do you plan to handle this matter? The importance of the statue speaks for itself; it absolutely cannot fall into their hands."
"The Poker organization is strong, but they lack research capabilities. I guess after acquiring the statue, Joker will imdiately hand it over to the Fla Dragon Team on the island, and then send it back to the Central Guard." Campbell said:
"I need to quickly devise a plan, ambush them midway, only then might the statue be retrieved."
"I’ll leave this matter to you." Mason patted Campbell’s shoulder:
"I trust your ability, surely above Gerard’s; handling such things should be no problem."
"Rest assured, having dealt with the Central Guard for so many years, I have ways to handle them." Campbell said confidently.
...
At this mont, Gerard had already returned to his ho.
"No need to mow the lawn anymore; I have to leave for sothing, and I’ll transfer your salary to your card later, you can go back first."
Gerard said to the worker trimming the lawn.
"Thank you."
After dismissing the worker, Gerard returned to his house, unhurriedly brewed himself a cup of coffee.
Leisurely enjoying it.
After the incident, he kept thinking about how to handle the aftermath.
Besides the missing statue, there was also Lin Yi who escaped.
But now, his position was dismissed, so he needn’t worry about these matters anymore.
After finishing a cup of coffee, Gerard closed the doors and windows tightly, then began packing, preparing to leave M country.
The people eting him were already on the way.
About half an hour later, when Gerard had finished packing and was coming downstairs from the second floor.
He suddenly found soone sitting on the sofa.
And that person was Lin Yi!
Seeing Lin Yi instantly, Gerard’s face changed dramatically.
In his impression, Lin Yi had caused such big trouble, surely he would leave imdiately, otherwise, after martial law, it would be impossible to leave.
But unexpectedly, he stayed behind and appeared at Gerard’s ho!
"How did you find this place?"
"It’s simple, I caught a mber of the Ghost Squad, easily found out your address."
Lin Yi leaned back on the sofa, saying calmly and composedly:
"After finding out your address, I planned to act imdiately, but that man nad Paul told Congress was investigating you, so I waited a few more days."
Gerard said gloomily, "Do you think I’d believe this? You planned it this way from the start, right?"
"You guessed right; the reason for shooting at nearby residential buildings was to expand influence and use public opinion pressure, but fortunately, Congress gave face and directly dismissed you."
Lin Yi laughed, "Now that you’re an ordinary person, it’s even easier to act."
"You’re quite resourceful, especially your mind; you even thought of burying bombs in the sewer, but you shouldn’t be too confident in yourself, although I’m old, dealing with you isn’t difficult."
