Chapter 549
The President put down the file, walked to the window, looked at the chaotic streets in the distance, and secretly made a decision in his heart.
"Notify the police station, catch all the homeless people in the park for me, pack them up, and send them to Dr. Higgins! Externally, just claim that the government is providing them with jobs."
The assistant looked at the President in horror, not expecting him to give such an order.
"Mr. President, if this matter is discovered, it will cause opposition from citizens and the parliament. We'll be finished by then!"
The President looked at the assistant somewhat dejectedly and said:
"I know everything you're saying, but right now the base is destroyed, and that magician is constantly expanding outward. Do you think if things go on like this, my position will be stable?
By the time I'm gone, you definitely won't be able to stay in this position either. As long as we solve the current problem, we can start covering up the facts. By then, we will have cultivated an army of our own, and no one will dare to say anything."
The assistant saw the raging fire burning in the President's eyes. Yes, once such an army with superior combat power was cultivated, who among the financial groups and parliament would dare to say anything?
By then, the President would no longer be a dog raised by others, but a wolf that eats meat. Without the constraints of the forces behind him, only then could the position be stable.
Both saw the ambition in each other's eyes, as if they had already seen the scene of dominating the future.
"By the way, do you have a target for the person who attacked the base?"
"I was just about to report to you. The Investigation Bureau received intelligence that two suspicious individuals appeared at the dock in Florida. According to the description of an insider, we determined that one of them should be the researcher Xi Lin, and the other should be Su Ye, who stole the virus reagent back then."
"It's actually that person. I didn't expect him to dare to come here. This time, we must keep him here. By the way, have you investigated the Xi Lin he took away?"
The President was somewhat puzzled. The person who went to such lengths to come here must not be simple. Could it be the researcher who mastered the evolution reagent here? Thinking of the destroyed base, the President felt a twitch in his heart.
"I have already sent people to check. Xi Lin is just an ordinary researcher engaged in the research of ion shields; her performance is not outstanding."
Both were somewhat puzzled. Could it be that this Xi Lin really had some extraordinary qualities that hadn't been discovered? This file was completely ordinary; besides being beautiful, there was nothing else.
At this moment, the President suddenly remembered a piece of intelligence about Su Ye, which was that Su Ye was always surrounded by beauties. Thinking of the person he had contact with that the Investigation Bureau dealt with last time, it seemed she was also a beauty.
The President secretly thought to himself whether he could use a honey trap to make him serve him after catching Su Ye.
"By the way, do you know what they went there to do?"
The assistant hesitated and said, "It seems they are smuggling back from there."
Seeing the President somewhat puzzled, the assistant hurriedly explained, "Because Florida has all kinds of races and the management is chaotic, it has formed an underground industrial chain based on smuggling."
Hearing this, the President's originally somewhat disdainful gaze suddenly turned into anger.
"What are those police stations doing? Smuggling can even become an industrial chain. Is the national border defense a sieve? What if an enemy smuggles a troop in later? These people should all be shot!"
After calming down for a while, the President said to the assistant, "Notify the Investigation Bureau that all people smuggled in from now on are to be sent to Dr. Higgins."
At this moment, on the other side of the ocean in China, the Chairman picked up his phone and found that he still couldn't contact Su Ye. He looked up at the assistant in front of him and asked:
"Does the intelligence department still have no news of Su Ye?"
The assistant saw that the Chairman had become somewhat restless, especially after the explosion at the Beautiful Nation's base; he had been so worried these two days that a few hairs had turned white.
"Report to the Chairman, the intelligence department has not received any news!"
"How are those people? Have they caused any trouble these past few days?"
Speaking of this, the Chairman felt irritable. Originally, after sending Su Ye to the Beautiful Nation, some people became restless, and the women at the research institute were attacked.
Now, those with ability all knew that the self-destruction of the Beautiful Nation's research base was caused by Su Ye. Of course, they also knew about Su Ye's loss of contact, and now the movements of those under their command were becoming larger.
Originally, the Chairman had intended to ferret these people out, but he didn't expect them to jump out themselves upon hearing the news of Su Ye's loss of contact.
Especially the new research institute project he approved; the site was just leveled when it was opposed by the councilors below and delayed again and again.
Just yesterday, they used the banner of wanting to take over Su Ye's research institute, the reason being that special funds require special management, and they must send people to control the research funds.
The Chairman rejected it on the grounds of national secrets and special handling. As a result, they retreated to the next best thing and demanded to see the details of the fund flow, suspecting the Chairman of embezzling public funds.
They proposed to set up an investigation team to investigate the research institute. If there is no information from Su Ye in the near future, I'm afraid the research institute won't be able to be saved.
And these people are now watching. Originally, they didn't want to show their cards so early, but the Chairman's investigation ferreted them out.
