Ultimate Firepower

Call Martin over, then continue to have Christopher put on the appearance of a full-scale search across the city.

The question now is, how can I succinctly convey the concept of "smoke and mirrors" to Martin and Christopher?

Wei Feng has laid out a master plan: first, a diversionary move to stir things up, and then, by letting the enemy expose themselves, we achieve the effect of creating confusion and shifting attention.

"The people we captured are all CIA spies. They secretly infiltrated back in. As of now, we’ve been dragged into the CIA’s internal power struggle. If we succeed, everyone benefits; if we fail, it doesn’t have much to do with us anyway."

After giving Martin and Christopher some reassurance, Gao Yi subtly said, "Martin, just interrogate them through normal FBI protocols and then file the report accordingly. This way, the CIA director will personally handle the case. Do you understand?"

Martin understood immediately and said in a low voice, "The director personally handling it? That’s a big deal."

"Christopher, you continue searching for the person in Los Angeles as per our original plan. Just don’t let it affect you too much, but put in your full effort to find him."

Gao Yi decided to be honest with Christopher, so he lowered his voice and said, "Although it’s now more likely the target is at Lanli headquarters, I can’t explain everything to you. But we need to keep up the act here to make the target feel secure enough to make their move over there."

Christopher pondered for a moment before speaking softly, "Then we can’t just try our best to find the target—we must find them, no matter the cost."

Afterward, Christopher added in a quiet tone, "Even if we fail, I don’t care—I could just retire. But if the enemy succeeds, retirement will no longer be an option. Getting involved in something like this leaves no room for regrets."
