Chapter 890 - The Value of the Chips (2/2)

Ayesha closed her eyes and said seriously, “Leave it to me.”

“Also, let Zhang Yaping know. I need the Xin government to put pressure on the UA government. There’s an interesting confession in my hands; it happens to belong to a CIB agent.” Jiang Chen grinned. “It will be a breakthrough for us to blackmail the Capital.”

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen stretched his body and looked at Zhu Yu lying on the other sofa.

The Beta-4 drone provided her wounds with a simple treatment. It was hovering next to her after completing the task. Jiang Chen called the drone back through the holographic screen and threw it back to the storage dimension.

The drones downstairs were still hovering at the door to the hostage room, but there were no mercenaries alive left in the entire embassy. The power armor couldn’t be disguised anymore and many rescued embassy staff would become suspicious about this. The reason why he wasn’t in the embassy was also something that had to be kept a secret.

Although there were a lot of problematic things, Jiang Chen knew Xia Shiyu would surely think of a solution for him.

After dealing with the aftermath, while the outside world remained shocked by the situation inside the embassy, Jiang Chen had a phone conversation with the Capital.

After the call was connected, Jiang Chen unceremoniously exerted dominance in the conversation and used a furious yet calm tone.

“Madame Hill, I need an explanation for this attack.”

“I really am sorry for the incident that happened to you and the staff of your embassy, Mr. Jiang Chen. I understand your anger and pain, but please believe me – we were also the victims of terrorism. Forty UA citizens died in the attack. Some of them were police officers and citizens. They could be fathers of children, husbands of wives—”

Although her tone was quite sincere, it undoubtedly avoided any responsibility and portrayed the UA as the victim. As a former secretary of state, Hill was undoubtedly a tough opponent on diplomatic issues.

However, Jiang Chen mercilessly interrupted her.

“Do you want to listen to a recording first?” Jiang Chen grinned.

Hill paused for a moment and didn’t understand what Jiang Chen meant.

“I’ll take that as a yes.” Leaving this sentence, Jiang Chen opened the holographic screen of the watch and played the recording Penny obtained.

(Wind)

Ghost Agent: “What are you doing here?”

Steven: “Just in case.”

Ghost Agent: “What do you mean by ‘just in case’?”

Steven: “Literally… if he comes, I will kill him. If he doesn’t come, then the mission fails…”

Ghost Agent: “Who is he?”

Steven: “Your boss, Jiang Chen.”

When the recording was played halfway, Jiang Chen noticed that the breathing on the other side of the phone almost stopped. Half a minute after he turned off the recording, there wasn’t a single word.

The CIB was suspected of murdering foreign key personnel visiting and even colluded with terrorists. Once exposed, this scandal wouldn’t only destroy the diplomatic credentials of the UA for decades, but it would even shake the foundation of the current federal government. If the Republican Party used this to challenge the current government, Hill might become the president with the shortest term of the UA in the century.

As Jiang Chen expected, it was a sufficient bargaining chip.

With a curvature forming on his lips, Jiang Chen leaned back on the sofa, patiently waiting for Hill’s reply.

“If you don’t remember Steven’s name, I can help you out. His identity is the CIB’s agent supervisor, belonging to the Ukrainian Action Group. Now, he’s in our hands.”

With a long silence, Hill no longer avoided the question and said, “Be straightforward. What do you want?”
