Chapter 646: Chapter 620 Solve It Yourself

The first to arrive were not Gao Yi’s reinforcements, but Parsons’ men.

The reason was simple: the NSA people were already nearby; they were just blocked by the hostage rescue team. When the President ordered the FBI to abandon their plan to kill Gao Yi right here, the NSA could arrive immediately.

The two teams originally chased Little Andic, but unintentionally saved Gao Yi’s life. Now it seemed that the Pentagon’s sincerity was very genuine, as they did indeed help from a fellow’s standpoint.

"I have to withdraw. I can’t show my face when dealing with these follow-up matters. Of the twenty people, only I cannot be exposed."

Parsons appeared slightly regretful, but mostly relieved, because after suddenly encountering the blockade of the FBI hostage rescue team, more than half of the twenty people he brought were killed. It was already pretty good that he survived.

After saying this, Parsons instructed his five remaining operable subordinates: "Make sure to escort him away safely. Follow his instructions in everything. After he leaves, immediately retreat along the predetermined route. If anyone is caught, remember to respond in the manner I instructed you beforehand."

After giving these instructions, although Parsons did not stay until the end, he left people behind to protect Gao Yi, which showed quite a bit of sincerity.

He nodded towards Gao Yi, then hurriedly left the cake shop, but before leaving alone, he couldn’t help but glance over the bodies at the door several times, finally looking at Gao Yi and saying, "We’ll definitely have a chance to cooperate again in the future. Goodbye."

Parsons left alone, but Gao Yi wasn’t too eager to step outside.

The crux was not knowing if there were still FBI agents waiting outside to take a shot.

A lot of snipers were troublesome.

But fortunately, after not too long, Joelson finally arrived with the CIA reinforcements.

Now there were enough people, and with Gao Yi’s own people, at least with Sith and Dani present, Gao Yi’s confidence increased significantly.

"Let’s go, get in the car!"

They had to leave quickly now. Surrounded by people, Gao Yi quickly left the cake shop and got into the car at the fastest speed.

Finally, they got away.

Once Yuri and Lucy also got into the car, Joelson in the passenger seat urgently said, "Drive!"

The car started moving. As it did, Joelson turned around from the front and urgently said to Gao Yi, "The FBI claims that the Soviet Restoration Committee wants to retaliate for their leader Amos being captured, so they’re planning large-scale attacks in New York in revenge. Now, we have to cooperate with them; otherwise, no one can get out of this situation."

The FBI made a big move, and the various forces being scammed had no choice but to cooperate, as no one could bear the consequences of exposing the matter.

The truth, in such cases, is that there is no truth. Everyone working together to cover it up is the only truth.

Joelson quickly briefed Gao Yi on the situation and then looked tense, saying, "The Director told me to tell you to stay calm and not to retaliate further for what Ben did. It’s gone far enough. If we push Ben any further, it’ll truly collapse, and that wouldn’t be in the United States’ interests."

It seemed Panetta was also afraid that Gao Yi would get angry and hit back at Ben.

Although Gao Yi did intend to hit back hard.

With his own people, there’s no need to speak sinisterly. Moreover, Joelson was just passing the message, so Gao Yi just nodded and said, "Alright, I understand. I’ll discuss with the Director how to resolve this."

Joelson checked his watch and continued, "The President is very angry. Someone on the FBI side will definitely have to pay for this, and the Director also wanted me to remind you that Ben has sent many people; they will retaliate through various channels and methods. You must be especially careful."

"I understand. The Pentagon has also received the information, and they told me."

Joelson let out a sigh and said, "That’s all to say; nothing else is terribly important."

"How are you going to resolve this? Many died, the impact is significant, who will take the blame?"

Joelson spread his hands and said in a low voice, "Well, among those who died, the ones without identities were members of the Soviet Restoration Committee. The NSA people died to stop the Soviet Restoration Committee, and the FBI sent their hostage rescue team over to assist."

Gao Yi frowned and said, "So the FBI told a lie and ended up getting credit for it?"

"Yes."

Joelson said helplessly, "It’s the only way; otherwise, there’s no way to explain it to the public."

"Do we know who gave the order now?"

"The order was given by the FBI’s Associate Director in charge of counter-terrorism, and the New York Field Office and local department were all involved. The intelligence came from the FBI’s office at Ben, and additionally, we suspect a high-ranking official at the DOJ orchestrated it. It’s a line, a complete line with significant influence."

Joelson quickly explained, without hesitation he said, "So those involved will definitely be removed from their posts, don’t doubt the President’s resolve on that."

"Well, okay. I just can’t quite understand, the FBI should be on the same side as us, why would they stand with Ben, is it because Ben offered too much?"

"I don’t know."

Joelson shook his head and then continued, "I’m sure I don’t know, the Director doesn’t know, the President doesn’t know. These things can only be slowly investigated in the future, but they aren’t important now. What’s important is your safety."

Gao Yi looked over at Yuri.

Yuri said in a low voice, "Since it has come to this, why don’t we go to the Compaq Building and have a look, maybe Little Andic is indeed there, and I feel that the FBI probably doesn’t have too many people left, the hostage rescue team should be their only force."

If you can’t escape this trap, then break it violently.

Knowing full well that the Compaq Building is a pit, a trap set by the FBI to lure Gao Yi over, but after such a fight, it’s uncertain if the Compaq Building is still a trap.

The hostage rescue team just lost eight people, and with the team exposed, no matter how many remain, they cannot return to the Compaq Building to continue the ambush.

Gao Yi felt this could work, so he immediately said to Joelson, "Yes, we should go check out the Compaq Building."

"Is it appropriate to do so? The situation is already complicated enough; our people really cannot clash with the FBI. It has attracted too much attention already, and another fight would be hard to explain."

Joelson was here to cover Gao Yi and also responsible for conveying messages, but he wasn’t authorized to decide what to do next, so he first persuaded and then immediately said, "Of course, if you think it’s appropriate, I certainly won’t stop you."

Gao Yi said in a deep voice, "Go, let’s go to the Compaq Building. We don’t need your manpower, as the CIA people indeed shouldn’t show up; we’ll handle it ourselves."
