Chapter 1139 - A Peculiar Peace (2/2)

“They should send the Secretary of State?” Ayesha asked.

“Yes.” Jiang Chen, with his hand still on his chin, was thoughtful. “This is very unusual.”

Kerry didn’t come, but someone he never heard of did.

In terms of negotiating, did Holman even have the right to negotiate on behalf of the UA?

…

Three days after the negotiations with Holman broke down, the situation in Nippo changed dramatically in a peculiar way.

CIB agents who were originally active in Tokyo seemed to have received some kind of signal, and suddenly stopped their aggressive counterattack and completely went into hiding. Not only did they suspend contact with members of the right-wing party and some pro-UA leftists, but they even stopped tracking Xin agents.

On the other hand, the clues controlled by Ghosts Agents also became dead-ends.

As if overnight, the CIB agents hid into darkness.

This peculiar peace lasted for three days.

The Nippon National Police Agency was finally relieved. Although it didn’t know how long this peaceful period would last, it was a good start. Every time the bodies of “foreign friends” were dragged out of dark alleys, it must spend countless efforts to take care of the aftermath…

Although it was ten o’clock at night, the lights in the office of the mansion on the east side of Coro Island were still on.

Jiang Chen glanced through the report Ayesha gave him, thought for a moment, and then abruptly asked.

“Did something happen in the Capital?”

Sitting quietly on Jiang Chen’s thigh, Ayesha lowered her head and looked ashamed.

“We… have not received any new intelligence for the time being. Sorry…”

Xin National Intelligence Agency’s penetration into the Capital had been extremely limited. Although Ghost Agents could freely enter and exit the country, it had been difficult to infiltrate into the country’s political network. Jiang Chen must admit the UA established powerful anti-espionage capabilities.

“Don’t be too self-blaming, this is not your fault,” Jiang Chen gently lifted the porcelain-like face and comforted. “A few days later, when Future Heavy Industries’ shipyard is complete, I will stay for a bit in Celestial City and then make a trip to Lunar Colony. Do you want to come with me?”

The sapphire-like eyes suddenly brightened, but they quickly dimmed.

Full of regrets, Ayesha whispered.

“I can’t leave.”

Although CIB’s actions in Nippon seemed to have subsided, no one can guarantee that this peculiar peace will last. As the chief instructor of Ghost Agents, she must take command in Coro City.

“That’s also true,” Jiang Chen looked at Ayesha apologetically. Then gently stroking her hair, he said, “I will bring you souvenirs, is there anything you need?”

Ayesha just stared at him with her pristine, watery eyes.

The sensual atmosphere gradually dissipated the silence lingering between the duo.

After he read the true feeling hidden in her eyes, she immediately understood that she didn’t want a “souvenir” at all, but a “consolation.” So, he smiled and turned off the lights with the touch of a button on his holographic watch.

The last light source in the mansion disappeared as the night shrouded.

The bright moonlight scattered its ray on the pristine body.

Sweat drenched the desk, wetted the chair, and damped the wooden floor. In this office filled with scholar atmosphere, an unfitting story began to unfold among the books…
