A few minutes later, Steve ca out of the interrogation room and nodded at Luo Zheng. Luo Zheng knew that the two had co to an agreent and was overjoyed. They went to the interrogation room of another detained suspect. Initially, this person was also uncooperative, but Steve presented the female suspect's testimony. In order to survive, the suspect chose to cooperate, with the condition that Steve would pay a sum of money, arrange for a legal passport, and safely escort him out of the country without future retribution.
Steve agreed after consulting the President. Two witnesses were much more persuasive than one. Luo Zheng noticed that their testimonies didn't directly point to Jackson; they just followed orders from their superior, whom they didn't know, only having a ans of contact.
Spies are clearly divided into visible and invisible. The visible ones are intelligence collectors who leave imdiately after obtaining the desired information to continue their work elsewhere. The invisible, also known as dead spies, have only one mission in their lifeti, which they won't easily initiate, and once active, they must be swiftly recalled.
Both were invisible, unaware of each other's identities, only following orders from one person. Their work docunts were enough to prove a connection with Sam Country, but as long as Sam Country claid it was unrelated to them and was a personal act, it would be tough to pursue, especially without implicating Jackson.
This outco was naturally unsatisfactory for Luo Zheng and Steve. They left the interrogation room and sat down in Steve's office. After a mont of contemplation, Luo Zheng said: "Before, to persuade your wife, I had to ntion the sniper's testimony. But in reality?"
"In reality, soone infiltrated the hospital and killed the sniper. The killer was shot dead, just an hour ago," Steve said angrily.
An hour ago, they were outside the embassy with heavy police presence deployed. The killer chose this mont to commit the cri in the hospital, a cunning move. Fortunately, they were prepared. Luo Zheng asked with so relief, "What was the identity of the other party? What ethnicity?"
"A local, an assassin. We later traced back and found soone had posted a task on the Assassin Network. The murderer ca to execute the assassination task. There's no way to prove a connection to Sam Country. These bastards did a clean job, unless we find the person who posted the task, but nobody knows where the Assassin Network server is. It's impossible to find the person who posted it; you should know that," Steve explained angrily.
Luo Zheng naturally knew about the Assassin Network and understood Steve was speaking the truth. After so thought, his face darkened, and he said seriously: "It seems we must fabricate evidence."
Just as he was saying this, soone hurriedly ca over, saluted, and spoke quickly to Steve. Steve's expression changed drastically. After waving the guard away, he said to Luo Zheng, "The Sam Country delegation cited the embassy breach, claiming we can't ensure their safety, and are collectively withdrawing from the summit."
"What?" Luo Zheng's expression changed drastically, his eyes flickering with anger as he coldly said, "This guy has quite a nose, certainly aware of the danger, using this as an excuse to escape. Can we stop them?"
"It's hard; they are already on the way to the airport. Forcible prevention will lead to diplomatic deterioration, and there's not enough ti. We're running out of ti," Steve said angrily.
"Can we keep Jackson behind individually?" Luo Zheng asked unwillingly.
"Jackson has diplomatic immunity, and the testimonies of the two n are insufficient for direct arrest. Sam Country would say it's slander," Jackson explained angrily.
"It seems the summit will end hastily, these bastards," Luo Zheng said unwillingly. After finally finding a thod to counter Jackson, he only needed to implent the plan to petition the President of Sam Country. Under imnse pressure, Sam Country would have to voluntarily hand over Jackson, but now it's impossible.
"These people reacted quickly; knowing the other party wants to slip away, we still have no way to stop them. It's downright embarrassing and suffocating," Steve said angrily, his eyes full of deep hatred. This ti, he beca a victim, and so did his wife, while the mastermind walked away openly.
"No, I must stop him. What thods can we use?" Steve said angrily.
"Using governnt forces is not an option; using social forces will only cause casualties. Don't forget there are security personnel around the delegation. If you don't co forward in ti, it will lead to diplomatic deterioration. There was already one embassy breach; if there's one against the delegation, there's no room for maneuver," Luo Zheng explained earnestly. Steve could be used as a weapon, but he couldn't be hard, otherwise, it would affect diplomacy between the two countries.
Steve knew Luo Zheng was right, but the anger in his heart was hard to quell. After a while, he cald down, explained the situation in detail to his President, and reluctantly agreed. After hanging up, he said to Luo Zheng: "For diplomatic reasons and future cooperation, the President doesn't allow any action."
"I understand, your President's choice is correct," Luo Zheng said with a bitter smile. Everything turned out as he had guessed. Letting Jackson go like this was hard to swallow for Luo Zheng, but there was nothing he could do. This wasn't his country, and he had to get his own governnt's consent for anything to avoid diplomatic trouble.
"The President is on the way to the airport to see them off, requiring to take people to see them off, ensuring their safety. What is this? I'll arrange for soone to send you back," Steve continued angrily. Knowing the other party was highly suspect, yet unable to take any action, this feeling was driving Steve a bit crazy.
"No, I'll go with you to see off an old friend," Luo Zheng suddenly had a mont of inspiration and said earnestly.
"Alright, but don't act recklessly; don't put in a difficult position," Steve said cautiously.
"No problem, I assure you on my honor," Luo Zheng said with a smile.
Steve made a few phone calls, gathered a large number of guards to stand by, and the two got up and went downstairs, getting into Steve's car and heading towards the airport, with a large group of guards following behind.
On the road, Luo Zheng contacted Lan Xing, passing along his whereabouts through Lan Xing to everyone to prevent them from worrying. Steve drove while making phone calls. The Sam Country representatives were about to leave. The subsequent petition plan had to be canceled, and without realizing it, they arrived at the airport.
The airport was on lockdown, with police and security personnel everywhere. At the entrance of the airport hall, two groups were whispering sothing, seemingly intimately. Luo Zheng and Steve got out of the car and walked over. Soon, Luo Zheng spotted Jackson in the crowd at the entrance, smirking at him.
Seeing Jackson's sinister smile, Luo Zheng imdiately realized that all of this was Jackson's idea. He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, elevating his awareness of Jackson to a new level. Military personnel admire direct attacks, but Jackson abandoned direct assault and opted for defense as offense. A simple move defused all Luo Zheng's preparations. High-level indeed.
