Chapter 510 - 489: Evasion
The speed and breadth at which the news spread were beyond Gao Yi’s expectations. Especially after a few intelligence agencies jumped in to fan the flames, it was clear that Ludelins had become the new buzzword in the intelligence community.
"Ludelins murdered his lover and disposed of the body by burning the crime scene? Hmm, this doesn’t count as... What! His crime was secretly recorded and sold to the CIA? Have we confirmed this from Military Intelligence Sixth Department?"
In the Kremlin, the President was furious.
As an intelligence officer, how could he make such a rookie mistake? How could he let someone record his dirty deeds?
"Do we have the original video? Suspend Ludelins immediately and have KGB verify the authenticity of the video."
"Sir, it can be confirmed with 100% certainty that the video is real. There are no traces of any modifications, and the recording equipment used is a spy-specific surveillance camera developed by us."
"So, it’s an inside job?"
"We cannot rule out this possibility."
The President angrily slammed the table.
What angered him was not that Ludelins had killed a lover, but how Ludelins could be caught on tape, and how the person who recorded it could sell the video on the Dark Web, making it available worldwide.
