Chapter 492 The player in the game
Those who can make it to the top are all top-notch talents. They all have their own strengths, but there are absolutely no fools.

But please note that only those who have worked their way up are counted; those who got in by luck or those who were promoted by flatterers and were spotted at first sight are not included.

There may be such fools in other units, but there won’t be such fools in the KGB.

Therefore, everyone present knew exactly what was going on with Liudlins.

It’s not that they believe that Liudlins was framed, but they know that at this sensitive moment, this video was leaked because someone wanted to target Liudlins.

Not everyone is willing to take advantage of someone's misfortune, because they know that even if Liudelins has no chance, it will not be their turn. But why is it that among those who were originally on Liudelins' side, no one speaks up for Liudelins at this moment?

The reason is simple: to protect yourself.

Why do we need to protect ourselves? Because of the president’s attitude.

So this is not a situation that requires a very profound vision to see through, but the evidence of Liudlins's guilt was revealed at a critical moment, and the president did not choose to suppress it immediately, so no one dared to speak for Liudlins.

While the deputy directors did not speak for Liudlins, some people jumped out and wanted to completely get rid of Liudlins, which in turn affected the president's judgment.

You, Liudlins, can't gain the trust of the president, can't unite your colleagues, and can't control your subordinates. Even such a small thing would be photographed and exposed. What's the use of you?
So this is not an open conspiracy, but a dead end.

But there is a way to break the deadlock, and that way is death.

Liudlins could be investigated, but he could not die.

This is often the case. Whether you can break the impasse depends on whether you can be ruthless to yourself.

Of course, if Alexander refused to cooperate, it would be useless for Liudlins to bleed to death, and his death would be in vain. But if he could convince Alexander to help him, so that he didn't die, and successfully met with the special envoy and told the president about his grievances, then it would be different.

It’s a high-end game, really a high-end game. No one can make a plan and then execute it smoothly, because everyone in the game is trying their best to break the deadlock.

What is happening now is beyond expectations and plans. In Gao Yi and the others' plan, there is no step in which Liudelins risks his life to prove himself, nor is there a step in which Liudelins tries desperately to win over Alexander.

It was Alexander who improvised and acted on his own.

Again, there is no fool who can get into this situation, and Alexander is definitely not a fool who lacks the ability to adapt.

Change the original plan and help Liudlins take the position?
This thought had emerged in Alexander's mind since the moment Liudlins cut his neck with broken porcelain.

And after the envoy quickly came to rescue Lyudrins personally and got himself covered in blood, this idea had become a new plan that Alexander had already begun to implement.

Liudlins said that Alexander would be the target of purge no matter who became the director, and this was correct.

It is wrong to say that no matter who benefits, it has nothing to do with Alexander.

From now on, who benefits depends on whether Alexander is willing to nod.

So it’s not that who benefits has nothing to do with Alexander, but that Alexander can decide who benefits in the end.

Alexander had completed his mission. He delivered the message for Liudlins, although his doing so somewhat angered Nickley.

Alexander could have informed Nikolaev quietly, waited until Liudrins died, or even helped Liudrins die faster.

But Alexander let the envoy know.

Nikolaev didn't want Liudlins to die, because who took over had nothing to do with him, but Alexander's actions made the situation even more chaotic.

"The meeting is over, everyone go back."

Nickley looked at Alexander with dissatisfaction, and then he said with a straight face: "How do you do things? How can you let Deputy Director Liudlins hurt himself?"

Alexander looked ashamed and said nothing.

excuse?

Is this the time to explain yourself to your boss?

Besides, if the boss blames me, I should just bear it silently. Someone has to be responsible for not watching Liudlins' self-harm. If Alexander doesn't take the responsibility, should Director Nickrey take it too?
Nick Lei still looked unhappy and said: "Put down the work in your hands and wait for the investigation. You are not allowed to leave without orders. Go back and wait for the investigation."

Alexander left the meeting room with a helpless look on his face. From now on, his mission as the Black Glove was probably over.

Is it a bad thing?
Not necessarily.

Suspending Alexander from his post for a minor mistake pending investigation and handling may seem like killing the pig after it has done its work, but who knows if this is just Nick Ray trying to temporarily push Alexander out of the eye of the storm.

It's hard to say.

The only thing that matters is the results.

Alexander couldn't figure out what Nickley was thinking, and even Nickley himself couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

The starting point may be good, but as the situation changes, the result turns bad.

If the result is good, then Nickolay helped Alexander because of his many years of service to him. If the result is bad, then he will be killed after he has done his job. There is nothing else to say.

Alexander left the meeting room and returned to his office, where he picked up the phone and dialed.

"Liudrins committed suicide, but he couldn't die. He knew he couldn't become director, but he wanted to drag the suspects down with him. Even if he lost his position as director, he could still keep his position as deputy director. But the person he targeted and attacked with all his strength might not even be able to keep his position as deputy director. And Liudrins promised to help me."

Alexander exhaled without any emotion and continued, "I was in charge of watching over Liudlins. It was my fault that he had the opportunity to commit suicide. I also passed on the message for Liudlins. This cannot be hidden from anyone, so I have been suspended by the director, pending investigation."

In just a few words he made his situation very clear, and then Alexander whispered, "Now, my situation is very delicate."

Gao Yi was also helpless.

In this kind of high-end game, no one is willing to follow the script obediently.

After pondering for a moment, Gao Yi whispered, "Support Liu Delins to take the position?"

Alexander exhaled and whispered, "Liudrins has his own people. Even if I help him, I can't enter his core circle."

“He can lose his inner circle.”

Alexander was not the kind of person who would believe something just because someone told him to. But he found that he was still too narrow-minded.

Gao Yi was thinking of taking the opportunity to eliminate Liu Delins' confidants.

How can you have too many confidants? One is enough, two are pretty good, and if you have three reliable and useful confidants, then you'd be a super awesome person.

Gao Yi felt that he could not take action against someone of Liudelins' level, but it was still possible to clean out Liudelins's trusted subordinates.

Of course, it depends.

The eternal theme is that it depends on the situation and the circumstances. There is no unchanging plan. Even if the situation is changing, the way to deal with it will certainly change as well.

Alexander exhaled, thought for a moment, and whispered, "Liudrins is too strong."

Most people can't keep up with the pace of such a conversation.

But Gao Yi was able to keep up. It was not known whether it was because he was naturally gifted or if he had developed the ability after seeing this kind of thing many times.

What Alexander meant was that Lyudrins was indeed a powerful person, and even if his confidants were killed, it would be unlikely to control the situation, let alone control Lyudrins and treat him as a puppet.

Gao Yi is in the game, but he is now an external spectator. Alexander is the one who is deeply involved in the game, so Gao Yi cannot make decisions for Alexander. This kind of thing can only rely on Alexander's own observation and judgment.

"I think we can continue to wait and see for now and make a decision when the situation becomes clearer."

Alexander whispered, "I have to wait for the investigation now. Some things are difficult to do. This is a bit troublesome."

Gao Yi immediately said: "If it is really difficult to make a judgment, you can ask Yuri. If there are some things that are inconvenient for you to do, as long as you can pass the message, I will do it for you."

Gao Yi meant to continue to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the two tigers, and not to rush to make a choice, but if it really came to the point of going all in, that was fine, he would step up.

Gao Yi gave Alexander the greatest respect and even more valuable support.

This is what an ally should be like.

Alexander sighed in his heart, why couldn't Nick Ray have such magnanimity and demeanor?

"I'll contact Yuri. This is it for now. If I lose communication with the outside world, Yuri will be the only one who can pass on the message for me. If Yuri is unreliable..."

Alexander hesitated for a moment, then he whispered, "Then you better run away. I can't guarantee that I can keep the secret. The only thing I can guarantee is that I will never give you away within twelve hours."

"Okay, I get it, good luck to you. Besides, I don't think it will come to this."

With nothing to say and nothing really to do, Alexander hung up the phone. He thought for a moment and decided that he should really talk to Yuri.

Now I'm under house arrest, although Nickley didn't say it explicitly, but I can't move around while I'm awaiting investigation.

But Alexander didn't have any hope for Nickley.

Relying hope on Nickley to be sentimental is tantamount to seeking death. If you have the time, of course you have to find a way to make a living for yourself. After all, if Nickley was a sentimental person, how could Alexander have fallen to this point?

So Alexander left his office directly, as if Nickley had already stepped down, and went straight to Yuri.

Alexander knocked on the door, and then he heard Yuri say, "Come in."

Alexander opened the door, and Yuri sat upright in a chair and smiled at him: "Have you made a decision, or can't make a decision?"

"I can't make a decision and I'm still waiting, but my situation is starting to get worse and I might lose contact with the outside world, so I would like to ask you to contact the gardener on my behalf when I need you."

Alexander was very honest, and then he said very seriously: "Of course, it would be best if you could give me some guidance now."
