Chapter 169 Encirclement by Allied Forces 4K
When Case opened his eyes, he found himself lying on the cold floor.
The lingering effects of the hypnotic gas were still affecting Case, to the point that he was seeing everything around him with a slight double vision.
At this point, Case could only vaguely make out that the surrounding environment was inside a villa.
"Fuck! How did I get here? Polly? Polly!"
Unfortunately, Pollux did not respond to the shouts, but a sexy and beautiful figure walked over from a distance.
This person was Eva.
Eva sat on the leather sofa in front of Case, holding a wine glass filled with red wine.
The woman was wearing a very revealing white semi-transparent nightgown, which vaguely revealed some alluring curves of her skin and some dangerous pubic hair.
Unfortunately, Case wasn't in the mood to appreciate the view; he struggled to get up.
However, the residual effects of the hypnotic gas affected Case's body; he tried to get up several times but failed, appearing quite disheveled.
This scene made Eva unable to help but reveal a mocking smile.
"Troy, you look terrible!"
Keyes completely ignored Eva's taunts. He was now very uneasy because he did not see his brother Pollux.
Although Keith was a very eccentric man who viewed human life as worthless, he had a very good relationship with his brother Pollux.
The two grew up together, relying on each other since childhood. They became assassins together and committed countless crimes together.
So the first thing Case said to Eva was about his brother.
"Where's Polly? Where did you take Polly?"
Eva took a sip of the red wine in her glass.
"I regret that I was unable to save Pollux."
Well, although that's what she said, Eva's expression showed absolutely no regret.
Case slammed his fist on the floor in anger.
"Bitch, why didn't you save Polly?!"
Eva kicked Keyes in the face; she was barefoot at the time.
Perhaps for some forum members, this kick might be seen as a reward.
"You need to understand this: I could have chosen not to save you at all!"
Case gritted his teeth and lay on the ground. He had to admit that Eva was right; Eva had no obligation to save him and his brother.
The two were not related; they were simply colleagues working for the same boss.
"Fuck! Damn the FBI! Damn yellow-skinned monkeys! I'm going to blow up the FBI building!"
Furious and powerless, Case could only vent his anger on the floor, punching it repeatedly until his fists were covered in blood.
Eva watched Case's outburst quietly, sipping her red wine with great interest, and only spoke after Case had vented his anger.
"Remember to clean up the bloodstains on the floor later, or I'll blow your head off."
Case looked up at Eva, his eyes red.
Do you know who that Asian man is?
"I know, he's the FBI agent who arrested me."
"Do you know why you didn't remind me?"
"Ha! You'd listen to that? Are you the kind of person who listens to advice?"
'
"Fuck! I'm going to kill that yellow-skinned monkey!"
Stimulated by Eva's words, Case once again descended into mania.
This guy started frantically pounding the floor again, leaving Eva speechless.
"Troy, I advise you not to give up on the idea of revenge. It's more important to finish Mr. Walsh's job first."
"Pollys being arrested by the FBI isn't a big deal. I was arrested too, and I'm still doing fine, aren't I?"
Eva's words brought Case back to his senses; she was absolutely right.
Because current federal law tends to abolish the death penalty, even if Pollux commits a heinous crime, he will only be imprisoned for a few more days and lose some of his freedom.
If Pollux were as clever as Eva, he might have managed to escape on his own.
But failing to complete Walsh's task would be truly disastrous.
Even if someone is arrested by the FBI and imprisoned, they might still strangle themselves in prison. Jonathan Courtney's death has proven everything.
"Does Mr. Walsh know about what happened last night?"
"They probably don't know yet. I haven't told Mr. Walsh about this, and the news of the FBI arresting Pollux hasn't been published. You know, Mr. Walsh's control over the FBI has weakened since Jonathan Courtney's death."
Case took a deep breath and looked up at Eva; his expression had returned to normal.
"Eva, I owe you a favor."
"Are you done talking? If you are, then clean the floor and get out of my villa."
Case nodded, wiped the bloodstains off the floor with his clothes, and left the villa without looking back.
Eva watched Keith's retreating figure, her eyes flickering for a moment, before she downed the glass of red wine in one gulp.
When Case left the villa, he discovered that it was a house sealed off by the FBI, namely Frank Castro's villa.
Frank was killed by Case himself, and Eva was already a wanted criminal.
However, Eva is not wrong to say that this is her villa, since after her husband Frank's death, the inheritance would definitely belong to Eva, his widow.
Standing on the streets of Long Beach, Case didn't know where to go for a moment.
Now that Case has lost his gear and his brother, he has to find another way to make a comeback.
"Perhaps I should go and talk to Hassler?"
The thought of Hassler's sister gave Keith a headache; the woman who had once been madly infatuated with him, only to be abandoned by him.
Case had no idea what Sasha would do if she saw him again.
Let's take it one step at a time.
The FBI did not publicize the capture of Pollux Troy. Previous cases had made the FBI realize that it was best not to celebrate halfway through the game.
Gordon Cole stood outside the operating room, observing the scene inside through the glass window.
This is the operating room of a military hospital, one of the safest hospitals in California.
Inside the operating room, Pollux Troy was undergoing surgery. His scapula had been pierced by a slug, leaving a large hole. Doctors had to perform a complex operation to remove the bullet.
As for Pollux's scapula, it was clearly beyond saving.
"Sean, I never expected that just going to headquarters for a meeting would bring me such a big surprise!"
"Chief, this is mainly thanks to Rosen. He captured Pollux Troy. And he almost captured Keith Troy as well. Unfortunately, we were too late; Keith was rescued by his accomplices."
Cole patted Sean on the shoulder.
"It's good to have some progress; the worst thing would be if the case made no progress at all. I heard you already have a plan regarding the bomb threats against Keyes Troy, is that right?"
Sean revealed his plan: the FBI would conduct an open investigation, while Jane and Audrey would participate in the Miss America pageant and, together with Rosen, secretly investigate Fox News.
Cole stroked his chin, feeling that this plan wasn't very reliable.
However, in these cases, Keith Troy held absolute initiative, and the FBI could only react passively, which was something they had no choice but to do.
There's not much the FBI can do, but having a plan is always better than having no plan at all.
At this moment, a middle-aged man standing next to Cole spoke up.
"Chief, I have an idea."
Sean looked at the middle-aged man strangely, because Cole hadn't introduced him before, so he didn't recognize him.
"Chief, who is this—"
Let Cole give a brief introduction to this middle-aged man.
"Emerson Stewart, he's the one they sent to replace Jonathan Courtney."
Sean had been wondering why the deputy director position had been vacant for a month, but he never expected that the FBI headquarters would send in another deputy director.
However, since he was his boss, Sean still extended his hand to greet him.
"Hello, Deputy Director Stuart."
However, Emerson ignored Sean and continued talking about his plans.
"Chief Cole, headquarters has a new technology that can perfectly cut out a person's face and implant it into another person's face, to replace certain individuals for undercover work. Why don't we find an agent and have him put on Pollux Troy's face?"
"What did you say? A face-changing plan?"
At the training ground, Rosen, Jane, and Audrey were stunned when Sean repeated what he had said.
Sean's expression was also quite speechless.
"Yes, the face-changing plan."
"Wait a minute! This kind of plan can't just come up with on a whim, right? There needs to be a concrete plan! For example, what are the costs of undergoing facial reconstruction surgery, and how should it be reversed afterwards? Also, how are the safety issues handled when the undercover agent is on a mission? What if other agents see the undercover agent and mistake him for a real criminal and kill him?"
Rosen's words hit the nail on the head regarding the face-changing plan. This method of infiltrating through face-changing and plastic surgery inherently raises ethical issues, making it more serious than ordinary infiltration methods.
Moreover, the risk of being surrounded by friendly forces is a huge problem.
It's like a cake that looks delicious, but after one bite you realize it tastes like poop.
Sean shrugged.
"After hearing this plan, Chief Cole immediately gave the new deputy chief, Emerson Stewart, a good scolding. I'm saying all this just to let you know that things are about to get tough for the bureau."
Indeed, having such an imaginative deputy director is bound to cause suffering for those below.
If this deputy director also happens to like interfering with his subordinates.
Rosen and Jane's expressions turned serious. Sometimes, even a god-like opponent can't outdo a pig-like teammate in causing damage.
"Just who is this guy? Sean, do you know?"
"I'm not sure, but you can ask Jane."
Rosen instinctively turned his gaze to Jane, who happened to be looking at him as well.
However, their gazes met briefly before quickly parting.
Since that night in the suburbs of Los Angeles when they confessed their feelings to each other, Luo Yuan and Zhen's relationship has returned to that awkward state of being more than friends but not quite lovers.
When Audrey saw this, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed. She was the culprit who caused all of this, even though she didn't do it on purpose.
How could an 18-year-old girl possibly be a match for a trained FBI agent?
Although Jane's tactical skills are indeed lacking, her investigative and conversational abilities are absolutely top-notch.
Audrey was tricked by Jane into revealing a lot of information about Luo Yuan.
However, Audrey has paid a price for this. Her hips have visibly increased in size in the past two days, which is definitely not due to secondary puberty.
Whose development extends to the buttocks?
"I'll try to find out about Emergi Stewart."
At this moment, Cheng Keduo walked over.
"Alright, guys, you haven't had much rest yet, have you? The Miss America beauty pageant officially starts tonight, so we won't continue training today. I'm going to tell you about some things to keep in mind during the competition."
Upon hearing what Cheng Keduo said, Luo Qi also glanced at the time.
"Damn it! I'm going to be late! Sean, it's all up to you outside, I have to get to the TV station right now!"
Tonight's beauty pageant is being broadcast live, so Lawson's schedule has been adjusted.
"Don't worry, I'm not an idiot like Juer."
Well, although Jule is training at Quantimore, he always manages to show up in Los Angeles in various ways, as if he never left.
Luo Qi quickly changed into casual clothes and then stepped on the gas to drive to the Fox Building.
"Yake! Luo Qi, I thought you were going to be late!"
"Franklin, I've told you I'm not the kind of person who's unpunctual!"
"Pshaw, if I hadn't seen you drift into the parking lot, I would have believed you."
Luo Qi smiled awkwardly. He had indeed been in a bit of a rush, which had caused him to unconsciously speed up the car.
"Franklin, what do we do now?"
"The director is making final adjustments before the live broadcast. All we have to do is use the equipment as instructed."
The debugging process was very simple; the equipment debugging was completed in half an hour.
There were still three hours before the live broadcast officially started, but the entire backstage area was already incredibly busy. However, for the two photographers, Luo Qi and Franklin, there wasn't anything particularly important; they were just helping out with odd jobs.
At this moment, Mike, one of the directors, walked over.
"Hey, Xiao Fu, Luo Qi, come over here right now!"
Franklin led Rosen to Mike's side.
"What's up, Mike? If it's just moving things, Luo Qi and I are already doing it."
"Yak, what are you talking about! I specifically asked you to do menial tasks, how could I? I have a great favor to do for you now, you'll thank me later!"
Mike and Franklin exchanged lewd winks.
"What exactly happened?"
"Hehehe! The director just told me to find a cameraman to shoot some behind-the-scenes footage, and you guys were the first person I thought of. Aren't you guys great?"
Luo Qi hadn't yet understood Mike's meaning, but Franklin, who was familiar with the TV station's procedures, already had a gleam in his eyes.
"Wow! Does this mean we can go into the athletes' dressing rooms to film?"
Luo Qi's eyes are now shining, just like Franklin's.
"Stop talking, Luo Qi! We can't let someone else take this job!"
