Chapter 911 Rumors are self-defeating

The news spread like wildfire.

The killer's information leaked out, and everyone knew that it was Da Piaoliang who committed the murder.

After receiving the news, Antonio quickly called Lei Zhen to explain to him.

"Brother Shenhua, please believe that this was definitely not done by us. Hopes betrayed us a long time ago."

"No matter how we look at it, it's impossible for us to assassinate you because we share a common interest..."

It was definitely not Da Piaoliang who did it. They were buying time and would never take action before confirming the location of all the peace agreements.

Even if they are not completely sure, they can take action as long as they eliminate the peace that poses a direct threat to their territory.

But the problem is that it hasn't been dug out yet, and it would not be wise to take action at this time.

"Betrayal or Mission Impossible?" Lei Zhen sneered, "You might as well say I planned it myself. How fucking hilarious!"

"Brother Shenhua, calm down first. We will give you a reasonable explanation for this matter and will definitely not let you be assassinated in vain."

"I don't need an explanation. I just know the killer's name is Hopes. He first served in the Pentagon and later joined the intelligence agency."

"Can you give me 24 hours? For my sake, for Olivia's sake?"

"Haha, then I'll give you 24 hours!"

“…”

Da Piaoliang was very angry, and the intelligence organization was even angrier.

Hopes was their dispatched agent, under the charge of the Overseas Intelligence Bureau.

Director Wade was asked to explain why this happened and why Shenhua was assassinated.

Director Wade didn't know why Hopes did this, but he keenly smelled a conspiracy, which was most likely from within.

Because he was in charge of this agent, it was impossible for him to act on his own without orders.

At the Intelligence Bureau meeting, Wade looked gloomy as he stared at the three deputy directors.

"What do the deputy directors have to say about this matter?"

Is there anything else you want to say? No one wants to say anything. Hopes is your direct supervisor. What's the point of coming to us if there's a problem?

Everyone was silent, and it was a long time before Olivia spoke.

"Director, the issue now is not to investigate, but to eliminate the impact."

"It doesn't matter who sent Hopes. What matters is that we appease Shenhua. Based on my understanding of him, if this matter isn't properly resolved, we will face a real peace crisis."

Now that the incident has happened, it is no use holding anyone accountable.

When something has already happened, the first thing to do is to solve the problem.

"Deputy Director Olivia is right. We must solve this problem, otherwise homeland security will face unprecedented threats."

"It's best to solve the problem first and then hold people accountable..."

No one wants to take the blame with him, and some are even happy to see the other party get into trouble and step down.

So let’s put the issue of accountability aside and solve the problem first.

"Olivia, you've always been responsible for the myth—" Director Wade stared at Olivia and said, "No matter what method you use, you must solve this problem."

"Director, I..."

Olivia was interrupted as soon as she started to speak.

"I don't want to hear any excuses. Your job is to solve the problem! I can give you whatever authority you need, but you must solve the problem."

"OK, I'll try to solve it."

“It’s not an effort, it’s a necessity!”

"Yes, I must."

It's very frustrating. It was clearly Wade's problem, but now it has become Olivia's problem. This makes people very unhappy.

"I need permission to unlock the safe house where Hopes is and the people inside and outside it."

"If we want to resolve this matter, we must first let Shenhua vent his anger, otherwise no other method will work."

This requirement is to sacrifice some intelligence officers in order to eliminate Lei Zhen's inner anger and pass the ball back to Wade.

"If sacrifice is required, what else do you need to do?" Director Wade said angrily.

"I've been following Shenhua and have already confirmed eight Peace silos from him. What do you think you did?" Olivia angrily said, "You're Hopes' direct supervisor. Who gave the order for the assassination? I've worked so hard for so long, and your people messed it up like this. Now you want me to clean up your mess? You're kidding me! You caused this disaster, and you want me to take the blame?"

He was so angry that he started to criticize the other two deputy directors in front of them.

This is the agent you, Wade, are directly responsible for. When such a big thing happened, he just returned it to me in one sentence.

If you succeed, it’s because of your good leadership; if you fail, it’s because of my lack of ability.

Are you kidding me?

"This involves a peace issue, and the territory could be attacked at any time. You are truly not panicking at all."

"Director Wade, you've ruined all my plans, understand? Guess how Shenhua will treat me in this situation?"

"The trust we worked so hard to build was destroyed by you. You must take primary responsibility for this."

"I will compile the specific materials and place them directly in the White Palace, detailing the whole story!"

Olivia's face was filled with anger as she stood up and strode away.

"Deputy Director Olivia..."

"Get lost! I'm really upset right now, you guys can handle this on your own!"

Director Wade was dumbfounded. He didn't expect to offend his most capable subordinate.

The other two deputy directors were even more silent, because Olivia was right. Hopes' actions exacerbated the peace crisis in the country.

In this situation, you still want to push the blame on others. It's really ugly.

"Director Wade, I think what Deputy Director Olivia said makes sense."

"Perhaps this matter requires some sacrifices, otherwise..."

Director Wade was extremely anxious. After adjourning the meeting, he made several phone calls to his superiors, but in the end he had to find Olivia again.

…

In the Middle East, an explosion occurred in a high-end apartment.

All three people in the house were burned to charcoal. Later, during the cleanup process, local police found a lot of computer fragments.

In addition, there are some wreckage that resembles special agent equipment.

South America, a villa area.

A group of masked gangsters broke in, killed everyone inside with guns, and finally burned everything to ashes.

A famous commercial street in Western Europe.

An explosion occurred on the first floor of an office building. Everyone inside did not have time to escape and was buried in the blast...

Three days later, Lei Zhen appeared in the United States.

Accompanied by Olivia, he attended a ball at a manor, chatting and laughing, and had close talks with several senior officials from the United States.

This scene was seen by relevant personnel, and the news that Da Piaoliang assassinated Shenhua was disproven.

This is not the case at all. Their relationship is still very good, and Shinhwa was even invited to a resort island where they spent a happy weekend.

Rumors will be self-defeating.
