Chapter 70: The Deal with Toby
The suspension of large-scale entertainment activities in the city can be regarded as a continuation of this incident.
Including the Gotham City Film Festival and nature academic conferences, all have been postponed!
With announcements and news flying all over the sky, at 9:30 in the morning, the US stock market officially opened!
However, as soon as the market opened, the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted by nearly a thousand points. At the same time, the Nasdaq Composite Index and the S&P 500 both turned red, turning purple, so red that it made people panic.
The secondary impact of the Gotham City terrorist attack caused many people, including many financial institutions, to start panic selling.
On the contrary, some Chinese technology stocks listed in the beautiful country are uncharacteristically rising despite the fact that most stocks are falling.
In just five minutes after the market opened, Beautiful Fortune Magazine issued an emergency announcement:
"Large commercial banks, led by Silicon Valley Bank, have experienced panic selling. If the U.S. authorities cannot properly solve the current problem, a secondary financial tsunami will happen again!"
As the press conference ended, this incident also caused an uproar around the world. Reporters from news media from various countries immediately released first-hand information and spread the incident back to the country. Every country was watching the joke of the beautiful country.
.
Today’s beautiful country can be said to be a mess.
Although the explosion has ended and the flames have been extinguished, the secondary flames caused by the explosion may still burn for a long time.
And these have been reflected in all aspects of Gotham City.
…
Return to the Security Bureau.
After holding the press conference, Edward also took his personal belongings, handed over to Toby, and left sadly.
After bidding farewell to Edward, Chu Yun was sitting in the technical team leader's separate office. He was drinking a drink while browsing the data files in the confidential database.
The data in the confidential database has indeed been burned clean, but Chu Yun still has these confidential data in his hands.
Among these materials, there are many confidential case reports, lists of agents and spies, and even... some important figures and files of various organizational forces.
"There are quite a few of these people..."
Chu Yun looked at the information and searched for keywords.
Suddenly, the mouse he was operating paused.
"This is……"
He saw the information he was looking for.
This is a file marked "confidential", and the contents of the file...
It is related to China.
Chu Yun clicked in and looked at it in detail.
He knew that he already had a rough plan for his next actions.
"Bang bang bang!"
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the office.
Chu Yun came over and opened the door, and saw Toby walking in.
"Director Toby, congratulations."
However, Toby's expression at this time did not look as happy as that of becoming the director.
He walked into the office and closed the door.
"Chu Yun, we need to talk." Toby said in a deep voice.
"Director, please sit down."
This was also what Chu Yun expected.
Toby will find him sooner or later, it's just a matter of sooner or later.
Toby was not polite. After sitting down, he said:
"What do you want to do when you come here?"
Chu Yun smiled and handed Toby a glass of water.
"Of course I will help you become the director."
"Other than that?" Toby knew with his feet that Chu Yun would not have this purpose.
Chu Yun put down the water, returned to his seat and sat down.
"Director Toby, I said, this is a deal. I will help you become director and secure this position, but you also have to let me complete my investigation."
Toby shouted in a low voice: "But you can't kill innocent people indiscriminately because of this!"
"innocent?"
"What does innocence mean?" Chu Yun's expression suddenly became serious.
"To you, they are innocent, but to us in China, they are criminals!"
"With regard to aviation power technology, nuclear power technology and semiconductor lithography technology back then, if it weren't for these people, how could there have been leaks and current faults?"
"Back then, your beautiful country and Sakura put on a good show together, but now..."
"I'm just treating others the same way they are treated."
Toby was silent for a moment.
He didn't know much about the previous generation's affairs, but from their respective standpoints, there seemed to be no right or wrong.
"But we need to solve the current mess."
"As soon as Edward leaves, I will have to take care of many things. Once the test results of the corpse come out..."
"Wait." Chu Yun interrupted:
"Director Toby, you have to have confidence in me."
"We are on the same boat now. I will deal with the test results of the corpse, make a fake report, and go to the Forensic Medicine Bureau to tamper with the data. Isn't it commonplace for you?"
"As for...the files and data in the secret library, they are all with me, so you don't need to worry."
"What about the task force?" Toby asked again.
"Task force?"
Chu Yun suddenly laughed.
"Don't you think this is a good promotion opportunity for you?"
Toby was stunned and felt a little humiliated:
"What do you mean? I am pursuing fame and fortune, but that doesn't mean I can violate my principles!"
"No, this is not against principle."
"Your principle is to do what you think is right, and this is also my principle."
Chu Yun's voice suddenly became louder:
"All this time, from the emergency landing of the plane, to rescuing the hostages, and then to coming here. Some things are justice for the entire human race, and some things are justice for China. Maybe among them, some things are conservative and some radical, but no matter where
Everything is within the scope of my principles!"
"As for your promotion history, hasn't it always been the same?"
Toby was silent.
Chu Yun continued: "Cooperation is a process of seeking common ground while reserving differences. Although we have different goals and different beliefs, at least we have the same principles and concepts, and the same sense of justice and mission."
"And this is the basis of our cooperation!"
Toby listened.
Although he wanted to refute Chu Yun's so-called justice, he had to admit that from his personal experience in the World Trade Center bombing and kidnapping case, Chu Yun's behavior of taking away the bomb alone made him feel admired.
.
And it was this situation that made him feel particularly conflicted.
"Tell me about it." After a moment of silence, Toby slowly spoke.
"You should have thought of it."
Chu Yun slowly began to explain:
"They say they are setting up a task force, but the security bureau, the FBI, and the police department cannot unite as a united front. It is your best choice to fight independently."
"Yeah." Toby nodded muffled.
He has indeed thought of this.
Originally, there were overlaps between the three public security agencies. It can be said that they are basically self-contained systems. At most, they synchronize progress and share intelligence on some important cases. As for the mobilization and distribution of personnel, each must have its own responsibility.
And what does handling a case rely on?
It depends on people!
Even if they are jointly established as an investigation team, the final credit or responsibility must still be assigned to each family.
Chu Yun continued: "And this time the task force has three tasks in total."
"First point, you want to catch me, and I'm here."
"The second point is that the Security Bureau has the most information on Heaven's Gate."
"The third point is, how to deal with the aftermath of these cases? In the final analysis, someone still has to take responsibility."
Toby's eyes narrowed: "You mean..."
"You want to clear the gates of heaven?"
"No!" Chu Yun denied: "It's to clean up the aftermath by clearing the Gate of Heaven!"
"Increase your political achievements, and at the same time, use this to achieve my goal!"
Chapter completed!
