CHAPTER 1407: CHAPTER 1402 EVIDENCE IS NOT IMPORTANT

Walter’s face was grave, and his heart was filled with anticipation and unease.

The anticipation was about wanting to perform well in this significant crisis. The unease, of course, was about worrying he’d mess things up.

So upon seeing Yang Yi, Walter’s first words were, "How’s the situation?"

Yang Yi shook his head gravely, and whispered, "Not good."

Walter’s expression froze, and he asked, "What happened?"

"Uli Yangke is willing to meet me, but Ivan has been hesitating, and it’s possible there could be internal strife between Uli Yangke and Ivan. I’m making a final effort now, and we not only need to meet Ivan but also ensure Uli Yangke doesn’t cause us trouble at this critical moment."

Walter took a deep breath, looked back, and then lowered his voice to say, "No one followed me here, but we can mobilize an army at any time!"

"Army?"

"Yes, there are two military transport planes on standby in the air, accompanied by refueling planes. If needed, they can be deployed for combat at any time! We can’t negotiate entry into South Africa’s territory, so this is the only way."

Yang Yi was startled and said, "That’s an invasion! South Africa is a major country; can we do this?"

Walter shook his head helplessly and said quietly, "Of course, we hope this matter is handled by the CIA, but the White House and the Pentagon are skeptical of our ability to resolve this crisis. Buddy, this is a nuclear threat! The highest level of threat; how could it be left to us alone?"

Yang Yi merely clicked his tongue, and Walter placed a hand on Yang Yi’s shoulder, speaking softly, "But as of now, this matter is still led by us, understand? As long as we can meet Ivan and ensure this remains a potential threat rather than an actual nuclear terrorist attack, that’s enough!"

"Understood. You just said ’we’; do you have to come with me to see Ivan?"

Walter nodded helplessly and said, "I apologize for only telling you this now. The decision was made while I was flying here. After all, you’re just an agent, and the fate of the entire United States rests on your shoulders. Do you think those big shots would be at ease?"

Yang Yi whispered, "I understand.

Walter sighed and said, "Why was I sent here? McLaughlin believed I could cooperate with you, so don’t worry, you’re still leading this, and I’m just assisting you. But you’d better tell Uli Yangke that I will also be present at the negotiations."

Yang Yi pointed at the sky and said, "Those people..."

"Don’t worry too much. Unless it’s confirmed that our negotiations have completely broken down, the Pentagon won’t act easily. You can rest assured; we’re absolutely sure those people won’t land if military action is taken. The difficulties are too great, and the consequences too severe, so they won’t take risks easily, trust me."

Yang Yi couldn’t resist looking up at the sky, knowing full well that it was impossible to see anything.

The determination of the United States was huge, actually deploying troops waiting in the air to parachute down, using the last and most resolute means to handle this crisis. Certainly, if the U.S. mainland suffers a nuclear explosion, it wouldn’t be surprising if the U.S. does anything. Causing international disputes is no longer a big deal since South Africa is unlikely to directly declare war on the United States.

"Get in the car, let’s go. Evidence?"

Walter took out the bag he was carrying and said, "There are recordings inside, decisions on handling the four members of Trident Red Team, and the pursuit situation at that time when the Red Team’s four members defected and fled. It’s all real; there’s very little fake because it’s unrealistic to produce particularly detailed evidence within a short time. So our first step is to first get Ivan and them to agree to negotiate. Negotiation is a victory."

"Got it. We’ll first meet Uli Yangke. Whether we can see Ivan depends on how the talks go. By the way, didn’t they require the negotiations to be recorded or even broadcast to them, right?"

"No, unless they really want to screw it up, so no one has made such an excessive request. Sea God, your appearance... isn’t it a bit too grim? Tidy up and look a bit more spirited; we can’t let people see we’re already starting to panic."

Yang Yi put down the makeup mirror and said, "Does my appearance look really bad? Uh, it really is quite bad...

He took out a small bag from the glove compartment, unwrapped it, and Yang Yi started doing makeup like a woman in the car.

"Where are we meeting Uli Yangke?"

"At Big Ivan’s estate."

Yang Yi checked himself in the mirror and nodded, saying, "Alright. Later, you can act a bit tougher. We can’t be only soft and begging; we need to show the courage of going down with the opponent."

Walter chuckled bitterly and said, "Who would believe that?"

"It’s not about belief; the attitude must be there. Even if it’s seen as an act, the attitude still counts. Right now, it’s not just us who are anxious; Uli Yangke is also anxious, even more than us."

Walter hesitated for a moment and said, "Understood. You’ve had more contact with them; you make the decisions."

The car arrived at the entrance of the estate.

Heavily armed guards had already been placed at the gate. Now that Big Ivan is dead, but Uli Yangke and everyone are worried about facing more attacks, Big Ivan’s death is not a reason to relax vigilance; rather, it’s time to double down on vigilance and start anew.

The car stopped, but the guns were not pointed at Yang Yi and the others. After Yang Yi got out of the car, a guard with an earpiece immediately shouted at Yang Yi, "The car can’t go in; you must go in by yourself. Also, we need to search you!"

Yang Yi calmly said, "Two people go in, but you can search us."

The guard paused for a moment, received an instruction, and then said to Yang Yi, "Okay."

Yang Yi and Walter underwent an extremely rigorous body search, confirming they had nothing suspicious on them, and were immediately let in.

Yang Yi and Walter were led into the house, where Uli Yangke sat on the sofa.

Although his face was gloomy, Uli Yangke was still sharply dressed in a suit. Upon seeing Yang Yi and Walter, he stood up and said in a deep voice, "The evidence, let me see."

Yang Yi immediately passed the bag over, and Walter leaned forward saying, "This is..."

"That’s enough, don’t waste time. I’ll give it to Ivan immediately."

Uli Yangke didn’t even glance at the so-called evidence, leaving Walter bewildered. Meanwhile, Uli Yangke said with a stern face, "The evidence is damn unimportant; the attitude is what matters. My attitude doesn’t matter; Ivan’s attitude matters. Neither of us wants to see a nuclear bomb go off, so stop wasting time! Wait for me to get back to you as I’m going to contact Ivan now!"
