Chapter 209
Albert and Phoebe got into their car, but they didn't start the car and leave immediately.
"Why don't you ask clearly before leaving?" Phoebe was still serious, and the questions she asked were still so fierce. Now her personality has actually changed a lot, but her seriousness has not decreased.
Albert opened the car window, picked up the cigarette and lit it, took a sip and let out a breath of smoke in the darkness.
"This is not our business, but we were asked to come because we had a lot of contact with Chen Fan... You must figure this out." Albert said lightly.
"It's about the life and death of a federal agent... don't you care?" Phoebe said without giving in. "If you hadn't taken care of me specifically, I would have put handcuffs on his wrist."
"Hmph... I can only say that guy is taking it upon himself. It's not his business. He insists on being a hero. He is your negative teaching material. Remember!"
"Tonight is not the time to talk about whether that person is right or wrong. Our most important task now is to save him!" Phoebe shouted.
Albert took another puff of cigarette and said, "No, our mission is over. It is not our mission to save him!"
"What do we know? We don't know anything!"
"No, at least we are sure that our people are safe. In addition, we are sure that the people on Juarez are indeed related to him, and our mission has been completed!" Albert said in a deep voice.
"Did you know, my retirement application was rejected?" Albert asked suddenly.
Phoebe shook her head in surprise.
"Do you know why?"
Phoebe shook her head again.
"I recommended you to the upper level to take over my position, but you are not mature enough now... The upper level wants me to take you with you again!" Albert said lightly, then he sighed and said, "How can I retire like you?"
"I... did I do something wrong?" Phoebe asked with his head down.
Albert smiled and said, "Of course you did a good job, you did even better than us! But this is the world. You did it right, but the result may not be good... Sometimes it is also a kind of wisdom if you don't do things, and you still need to learn."
"I have the ability to do this, why don't I do it?" Phoebe raised his head and said with a firm look on his face. "My father taught me since he was a child to take responsibility and face the difficulties in front of him. Is this also wrong?"
Albert sighed and said, "I don't mean that...ah, I can only tell you that you haven't grown up yet."
After saying that, he started the car and Phoebe was silent.
Albert started the car but did not move it. He turned to Phoebe and said seriously: "I know you resist everything I said. Because this goes against your persistence... Well, now we do our business the way you do it, but if you do so, you must be prepared to accept all the consequences."
"Thank you!" Phoebe nodded firmly, and then she was about to get off the car.
"Not now!" Albert said quickly: "Not now, if you don't want to die, don't look for him now."
"Why are you so afraid of Chen Fan?" Phoebe looked at Albert.
"He has always maintained his demeanor and has always cooperated with us... but then you think this person can be arrested and you are wrong." Albert sighed, and although he said that just now, he still couldn't help but let Phoebe stop.
"I represent America. How dare he treat me?" Phoebe said firmly.
"You forgot about Las Vegas?" Albert said, and Phoebe fell silent.
"Then let me come back when I'm ready." Phoebe stopped insisting this time.
They have all watched videos of Buck committing suicide. At that time, Buck called out that he didn't want to die, but his body was doing self-harm. This situation was too strange.
The only thing that can explain this situation is that Buck's body is manipulated! Buck had met Chen Fan before, and Chen Fan was the only person who could do this!
...
Seeing the agent leave, Chen Fan didn't take it to heart at all. If everything is done according to the rules, the Americans can't do anything to him, and all they can do is to test and monitor.
Catch the federal agent and use him as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the Americans. That was Julio's idea. Chen Fan agreed.
This is not aimed at the United States, their target is Maria. The female drug lord has never stopped harassing them, and Julio has died many subordinates.
Julio had a Demon Kiss on his hand, and he had an idea in his mind. Since Demon Kiss can completely replace the effects of drugs, and is weaker in addiction, it will not be that harmful to the body. Why not let the Demon Kiss replace drugs?
Legitimizing the Demon's Counsel is beneficial to both sides. The American government can collect taxes, and Chen Fan's sales channels can be expanded immediately.
Of course there is another advantage. That is, traditional drugs will no longer have a market. Compared with the cost of Demon Kiss, the cost of traditional drugs is too high. As long as Demon Kiss is spread out, traditional drugs will not be purchased.
From the arrival of Albert and Phoebe, it can be seen that the American government is also tempted, and can eliminate social cancers and obtain a large amount of income. Why not do it?
Chen Fan estimated that the American government was already stepping up time to test the Demon's Kiss, and wanted to determine its composition and effect.
Chen Fan could only smile at this. The most important ingredient of Demon Kiss is actually in the water in the form of energy, and the test cannot be tested at all.
...
The next morning, Chen Fan saw a group of fully armed special forces at the gate. Phoebe stood in front, while Albert stood behind him and smiled bitterly.
In the evening, Chen Fan heard the movement outside. He saw that the people outside had no intention of rushing into the house, so he didn't care, and did not expect to see such a scene when he went out early in the morning.
"Mr. Chen Fan, you are suspected of kidnapping, and now we are going to arrest you!" Phoebe said righteously.
"Can you ask me to contact my lawyer?" Chen Fan said with a smile.
"We respect your power." Phoebe said seriously.
Chen Fan took out the phone and before he could dial, Phoebe's phone rang.
Phoebe put the phone in his ear and walked aside.
"Yes, sir. I understand!" Phoebe's face was full of seriousness after receiving the call, and then handed the call to Albert with a serious face.
Albert took the call with helplessness on his face, and after whispering a few words on the phone, he returned the call to Phoebe.
"Today's action is over, everyone will stop the team." Albert said to the surrounding special forces.
The special forces members didn't say much. After hearing the order, they immediately packed up their equipment and prepared to leave.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen. I've had some misunderstandings today, I'm disturbing!" Albert apologized to Chen Fan and immediately pulled Phoebe and left.
In less than 5 minutes, the door of Chen Fan's house became empty again. After Chen Fan smiled, he took his car and drove towards the city center.
...
"Take your badge and gun." Albert sighed in the car.
Phoebe silently handed the gun and badge to Albert, and she had nothing to say at this time.
"You understand now. Even in a department like ours, everything is not black or white... Don't worry, I will help you get reinstatement." Albert said: "If you want to continue working in this position, you must accept the situation."
"Can't you change anything?" Phoebe said weakly.
Albert paused and said, "That's how reality is. Can you change reality? You can only adapt to it!"
"I can't accept such a fact...I want to quit!" Phoebe said suddenly.
Hearing this, Albert heard the car at the side of the road, and he turned his head and looked at Phoebe seriously.
"First of all, I have to remind you that resigning in our department is not allowed. If you reveal this idea, you will only be transferred to a civilian position. If you don't want to be in the office all your life, you can rest for a while and wait for me to help you reinstate your job."
"What do you think?" Albert said to Phoebe.
Phoebe lowered her head, her hands tightly clenched, and the car was silent, and Albert did not force Phoebe to decide immediately.
After a while, Phoebe said, "Okay. I'll take a break for a while." His tone was full of powerlessness.
Albert photographed Phoebe who was very disappointed.
"Girl, you should have matured after this time." Albert thought in his mind, and then started the car.
...
Today, Chen Fan's work arrangements were also very full. First, he wanted to go to Mark's side. Some questions were not explained clearly last night, and then he was about to fly to New York in the afternoon.
The movie "Magic Glory" is very popular, and Daege Publishing House has launched physical books. As the author, Chen Fan, of course, needs to be on the spot to promote it. This is an obligation that he cannot escape as an author.
When we arrived in New York, Ma Wen from Daege Publishing House came to pick him up, and then they went to the signing site. Daege Publishing House also knew about Chen Fan's busyness, so it did not arrange other itineraries.
Chen Fan is already a famous writer in America. "I Am a Magician" has been on the best-selling list for a long time. With this book, Chen Fan has also gained many fans because the progress of physical books is smaller than that of online. Therefore, some book fans even began to spontaneously translate Chen Fan's chapters online.
Of course, netizens' translations are not as good as Chen Fan, but netizens still read them with relish. They have been attracted by Chen Fan's story. At this time, they are more concerned about the development of the plot in the book than whether the text is beautiful.
The place where the signing ceremony was held was a large local bookstore. When Chen Fanyi appeared in the venue, all the book fans began to applaud.
Chen Fan waved to the book fans. He also saw some readers in wide robes among the book fans. These people were obviously learning the costumes of magicians. It was really difficult for them to dress like this in such hot weather.
"This book fan started queuing after we announced that you were coming to sign the sale. He is your hardcore book fan!" Marvin pointed to a young man with a little dark skin standing at the beginning of the line.
Chen Fan looked at him and then started signing. There were so many people on the scene, and other projects were cancelled and signed directly.
But when the young man ranked first took out his book, Chen Fan's face changed.
Chapter completed!
