Chapter 368 Head Dog
It was expected that Washington would pay attention to this scandal, but what An Rushong did not expect was that Washington's initial response would come so quickly.

It took two days for Washington to respond to the scandal. Can this be considered fast? Yes, it was fast. After all, this was a scandal caused by the US military stationed in South Korea. If the matter was not so big and there was no power struggle behind it, Washington would hardly make a statement.

In the past, whether it was the US military stationed in South Korea or Japan, they had caused a lot of scandals. For example, violence against underage girls, murder, etc., there were too many of them. When did Washington stand up and make a statement? In addition, when the Yongsan base was poisoned and the Okinawa base was polluted, there was a big uproar in public opinion. Did Washington stand up and make a statement?

Yes, none of them, because in the eyes of Americans, places like South Korea and Japan do not have the right to have an equal dialogue with them. Since they don’t even have the right to have an equal dialogue, why should Washington respond to the crappy things happening here?
It is precisely because of this that less than three days after the drug trafficking scandal of US troops stationed in South Korea was exposed, someone in Washington stood up and spoke out, which led An Rushong to believe that the US response was fast enough.

"What did you say?" An Rushong asked, leaning back in his chair and stretching hard.

Jenny didn’t answer him, but shoved the phone into his hand.

An Rushong picked up the phone and looked at what was displayed on the screen.

This was the first time he had seen Jenny's phone. Well, it was a little strange. She couldn't tell what brand her phone was, and there was no specific logo on it. It just looked a bit similar to the Apple phone he used, but there were many differences.

However, An Rusong's attention was not on her phone, but on the content of the text message. It was unknown who sent her the text message, and the content was a speech by Peter Pace.

After reading the speech from beginning to end, An Rusong curled his lips. The speech was quite long, but the actual content was very empty. Translated, it meant that the Pentagon had noticed the rumors that the US military in South Korea used the military mail system to sell drugs. Due to the lack of further evidence, the Pentagon could not confirm whether the rumors were true. For this reason, they would instruct the US Forces Korea Command to investigate the matter as soon as possible.

To sum it up in two simple sentences, the Pentagon already knows about this and will send people to investigate.

"Ding dong!"

Just as An Rushong finished reading the text message and was about to return the phone to Jenny, he felt the phone vibrate and a slight ringtone came from it.

It was obvious that there was a new text message coming in. An Rushong subconsciously wanted to see the content of the message. However, before he could pick up the phone again, Jenny next to him suddenly reached out and snatched the phone back.

Glancing at him reproachfully, Jenny brought the phone to her face and began to check the contents of the text message.

An Rushong knew that this phone should be the other party's work phone, and there were countless secrets hidden in it, so it was normal for the other party not to show it to him.

"The colonel asked me to remind you that the headquarters will definitely talk to you in the next two days," Jenny said, looking at the content on the phone. "They will put pressure on you, and even the embassy will put pressure on you through some means. At this time, you have to withstand the pressure and never back down. Otherwise, all your previous efforts will be wasted or secondary. The key point is that if you back down at this time, you will face greater troubles."

An Rushong smiled but said nothing.

In the past, Jenny always addressed Leonard by his first name, but recently, she has unconsciously changed her address to "Colonel". Just from this change in address, we can actually see a lot of problems.

An Rushong guessed that when Leonard first came to South Korea, NSA frontline agents like Jenny should have been very distant from him. This was not difficult to understand. After all, Leonard was transferred from the military, and he had no previous contact with people like Jenny.

An Rushong even felt that Jenny should have had some connection with the drug dealers among the US troops stationed in South Korea, but he had no way of knowing the specific situation.

An Rusong had met Leonard three or four times before, and to be honest, he couldn't see anything special about him. But it was obvious that this colonel must be very skillful. In the short period of time after he took office, he must have won over a group of people including Jenny. This was the most fundamental reason why "Leonard" became "Colonel".

"I'm reminding you." Seeing him smiling without saying anything, Jenny felt a little angry for no reason. She reached out and slapped An Rusong on the forearm, saying, "Do you understand what the colonel means?"

An Rusong glanced at her and said, "Why, now that you have the Colonel as your backer, you have forgotten about me, your friend?"

Jenny curled her lips and a charming smile flashed across her face. She said, "The colonel is not only my backer now, he is also your backer, isn't he?" An Rushong smiled and did not comment on her statement.

“You…” Jenny seemed to want to say something, but the moment she opened her mouth, the pleasant cell phone ringtone rang again, but this time the ringtone did not belong to her, but to An Rushong.

Reaching into his pocket, An Rushong found the cell phone in his trouser pocket, took it out, and looked at the caller ID on the screen.

The screen showed Jiang Xiuyuan's cell phone number. An Rushong raised his eyebrows in surprise, then pressed the answer button directly.

"Brother Rusong, where are you?" The call had just been connected when Jiang Xiuyuan's somewhat hurried and flustered voice came from the phone.

"What's the matter?" An Rushong asked in a deep voice.

"Someone from the Supreme Prosecutor's Office is here," Jiang Xiuyuan said quickly, "They said they are from the High-Tech Investigation Department, led by a prosecutor named Bian Shiyu, and they want to search our company. They also said they need you to cooperate with the investigation."

After hearing these words, An Rushong did not feel the slightest bit of panic in his heart. To him, this kind of thing was inevitable and expected to happen.

As the president of NGN, An Rusong now has a certain network of relationships in South Korea. In a word, his social background is very complicated and he knows people from all walks of life. But his exposure of the drug trafficking by US troops in South Korea is bound to affect the interests of a large number of people, and behind these people, there are also complicated social backgrounds and relationships.

These people will certainly spare no effort to kill him, and the means they will use are of course diverse. For example, using the power of the prosecution to cause trouble for him is just a small test.

According to what Jiang Xiuyuan said on the phone, the person who came to her this time was from the Supreme Prosecutor's Office, or to be more specific, from the High-Tech Investigation Department of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office.

An Rushong also has some friends in the Supreme Procuratorate, like Shen Yuting and Han Junxi. They should be considered middle and senior levels of the Supreme Procuratorate, but the department they belong to is the Criminal Department 1 of the Supreme Procuratorate, which is not the same organization as today's prosecutor named Bian Shiyu.

According to An Rusong, the direct agencies under the Supreme Procuratorate are also very complicated. The Criminal Division 1 where Shen Yuting and his colleagues are located is led by a special chief prosecutor, whose higher leader is the second chief prosecutor of the Supreme Procuratorate. However, today's High-Tech Investigation Division is not led by a special chief prosecutor, and is not even under the charge of the second chief prosecutor. Their direct leader is the third chief prosecutor.

Interestingly, in the current Supreme Procuratorate, there is a conflict between the second chief prosecutor and the third chief prosecutor, and it is said that the conflict is quite deep.

Therefore, to deal with the trouble today, it would be useless to ask Shen Yuting and Han Junxi, not to mention that An Rusong had never thought of looking for them. He had not even thought of contacting Bai Jinjun, let alone relying on Li Minbo's power.

Of course, Li Minbo has just come to power. Although he can exert influence on the Supreme Procuratorate, at this sensitive time, if he really asks about the case handling procedures of the Procuratorate for An Rushong, it will definitely have a very bad impact on himself. Therefore, Li Minbo will not be so irrational.

In general, An Rushong has not thought about asking anyone for help at this critical juncture. On the one hand, it is because no one can help him in this matter, and on the other hand, so far, the development of events is in his plan.

"Okay, I understand," An Rusong said calmly after listening to Jiang Xiuyuan's flustered words, "Tell them that I'm on my way back to the company and it will take about half an hour. As for the search they mentioned, if they have a search warrant or similar documents, let them check it. If not, let them wait."

After a pause, he added, "Remember, when dealing with these people, you must have someone from the Legal Department present. It would be best to record a video of them or something."

"Okay, Brother Rushong, I'll arrange it right away." Perhaps gaining some courage from An Rushong's calmness, Jiang Xiuyuan's voice was no longer so flustered.

"What's the matter? Someone came to the company to cause trouble?" After An Rushong hung up the phone, Jenny, who had been sitting next to him, interrupted and asked.

"It's someone from the Supreme Procuratorate," An Rusong put his phone into his trouser pocket, stood up and said with a smile, "You see, there are so many impatient idiots in this world. They haven't figured out the situation yet, but they rush to bite people. They don't know whether the master behind them really wants them to do this."
