Being watched by the FBI, especially by the higher-ups in a high-level department like the Manhattan office of New York, Pratt Senator will definitely not have an easy time. It's still in the investigative stage now, but when it's time to act, it'll surely be a major operation.

Peter and his team are looking for evidence from when Senator Pratt was a dirty cop back in the day. It's in a evidence box Neil Cavrey's father and his partner stashed away over a decade ago. The evidence should be enough to strip the Senator of his protective cover. Without the title of Senator for protection, Pratt is just a nobody.

Ruiz is investigating gang elements related to Pratt, and there must be some. As a former police chief of Washington, D.C., over the years, rising to a Senator must have been supported by both the underworld and the legit side.

Jimmy hasn't received permission from Deputy Director Dave, barring him from participating in the investigation, but even with the current information, it's almost certain that at least another group is investigating Senator Pratt's business dealings and his backers.

As a Senator, expenses are high. Although he can have sponsors, his own financial needs are significant. Moreover, he needs to prepare funds for his campaign team, legal team, image team, bodyguards, etc. These financial needs can't be fully covered by sponsors.

Dave didn't say it aloud, but the upper echelons of the Manhattan office probably share the sentiment. Why should the headquarters get to fire our field supervisor here within an hour? And it's a mandatory retirement without reason—without even leaving any time for transition. A phone call in the morning and they had to pack up and leave immediately.

Even if you're the Director, you can't do things like this! To say there's no dissatisfaction in the Manhattan office is impossible. Also, why transfer someone from Atlanta laterally over here? There are many qualified people here in the Manhattan office to take over. It's really a slap in the face.

While on the surface things seem calm in the field department, there's already a massive investigation into related information going on beneath the surface. Meanwhile, Jimmy can only stay in the Public Affairs Office daydreaming.

Mrs. Mason probably knows something, as she arranged for Jimmy to participate in the press conference later. She didn't let him wander around, but he's not the spokesperson. Instead, he's there as part of the FBI-DHS collaboration to have his photo taken by the reporters. He needs to dress up nicely.

The Public Affairs Office has a dressing room, where those participating in the press conference can prepare beforehand to avoid appearing in the public with image problems, like looking disheveled or unkempt. American institutions have a mature press release mechanism with a comprehensive operation logic, including personnel, timing, notifying which media, handling emergencies, etc.

The previous rocket launcher incident on the street had already caused a major media explosion. Later, because DHS and FBI handled this terrorist attack case and during the investigation, it was inconvenient to disclose progress. So after the case was concluded, the Public Affairs Office no longer blocked information and prepared this press conference when the media inquired again.

Jimmy in the usual setup, dons his suit, sunglasses, and gloves, standing in the background behind Isabel.

The name of the organization Deep Red Rose is no longer a secret. As a terrorist group launching an armed terror attack in a financial city like New York, they've already had their headquarters taken out directly by DHS. Contacts in New York, including Poison Snake Gang, were also linked and dealt with together.

The Poison Snake Gang was the unlucky one. DHS didn't fully hand them over to the FBI to deal with as a mafia family, but directly implicated their leader in the terrorist attack case because he was the only one who knew the attacker Perkins, and that would-be assassin hid with their gang's help to evade NYPD's pursuit. They even provided intelligence support for her.

The regular introduction was handled by Isabel, but most of the journalists' cameras were focused on Jimmy behind her. No choice, after several such experiences, whenever there's a major case, if this Asian agent is present, it's generally related to him.

A journalist raised a pen-holding hand, "Spokesperson, may I ask which department from the FBI collaborated with DHS this time? Is it related to Agent Yang?"

Isabel looked at the journalist helplessly and nodded, "This time, the collaboration with DHS was coordinated by Senior FBI Agent Jimmy Yang as the liaison officer, coordinating FBI and DHS intelligence and actions."

The same journalist continued, "Agent Yang, according to the DHS press conference in Washington, D.C., during the investigation and follow-up actions of the current terrorist attack case, over 20 armed terrorists were killed. How many were you involved in?"

Isabel turned her head to glance at Jimmy, who nodded. Isabel stepped aside, and Jimmy stepped up to the microphone, "First, let me introduce myself. I am Senior FBI Agent Jimmy Yang, and yes, many of you here should recognize me.

Sorry, but since the terrorist attack case is classified, we can't disclose specific details without authorization. What I can say is I indeed participated in some of the actions, but specific details can't be provided at the moment."

Another journalist raised a hand to ask, "In the Brooklyn rocket attack case, was the agent involved you? We've previously received some site videos, but without your confirmation."
