Chapter 642 Behind the Scenes
Chapter 642 Behind the Scenes
The plane landed and headed straight for the White House.
This is the result of the fierce struggle. Now that it has come to this, Gao Yi's identity is no longer shameful, and the president no longer needs to hide it.
Gao Yi was shocked at first when he saw the president.
Although it had been cleaned, the blood was still obvious on the president's face, and even his clothes were covered in blood.
I knew the president had been assassinated, but I didn't expect it to be so serious.
Just below the ear, but certainly not on it.
"Mr President……"
The president waved his hand with some momentum and said, "I'm fine. There's no need to discuss my wound. I've talked enough today."
Panetta whispered: "The gunman fired from 200 meters away, just a little bit short."
He said not to discuss the wound anymore, but after Panetta mentioned it, the president still looked very proud.
The shot was actually fired from 200 meters away, so it must be true. In any case, Gao Yi would never dare to let anyone shoot at him from 200 meters away, no matter how good a person's shooting skills were.
"I have to hold a press conference later. I haven't announced my injury to the outside world yet. You don't have much time left. Go ahead...wait."
The president was sitting on the sofa, surrounded by many people, including several Secret Service agents who were responsible for protecting him, several White House staff members, and bodyguards hired by the president himself.
After saying wait, the president waved his hand and said, "Everyone, get out."
Gao Yi knew that he definitely didn't need to go out, and the Secret Service people knew that they were not welcome at the moment, so they did not strictly perform their duties and just stayed beside the president to provide close protection.
Gao Yi looked at Panetta with a puzzled look. Panetta whispered, "The situation around the President was very chaotic just now. There were too many people and it was too complicated, so many things were not made clear to the President."
Gao Yi suddenly realized, so he said to the president: "We captured Little Andy in the Compaq Building, and then we were attacked by the FBI hostage rescue team. We were forced to hide in the Compaq Building and wait for rescue. During this time, Benzi also sent people to attack."
Of course Gao Yi had to take the opportunity to scare his enemies and opponents. Before he even added fuel to the fire, he simply stated the most basic situation in a few words, and the president was so angry that his face was twisted.
The president slammed the sofa hard enough to hurt his face.
I have to say the president was quite tough. He just grinned but didn't shout out.
"FBI, Ben! I sent people from the Secret Service to rescue you, but how come you still couldn't get away?"
Gao Yi calculated the time. When he was trapped in the Compaq Building, the president was assassinated. Now he was flying from New York to the White House on a helicopter, and the president had just returned not long ago.
In other words, when the president had just been assassinated, he was able to distract himself and send people to protect him. This favor is quite big.
Gao Yi immediately said, "The Secret Service went there, but they only expressed their opinions verbally and did not take any substantive actions. Then, another person from the Secret Service had a completely different opinion. He seemed to want to keep us in Compaq Building."
Gao Yi's words were somewhat vague and obscure. The president frowned, and Panetta immediately said, "Speak more clearly."
"Yes, the Secret Service is unreliable. They are on the side of the enemy." The president was furious again, and Panetta said quietly, "Mr. President, I have said long ago that the Secret Service needs to be cleaned up. It is obvious that they are unable to take on the responsibility of protecting you. In fact... I strongly suspect that today's assassination was the result of deliberate connivance by the Secret Service."
"You don't need to tell me, I know."
The president exhaled, and then he whispered, "The Secret Service needs a replacement, so keep talking."
Gao Yi opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
Because it seems that everything that needs to be said has been said.
The president saw Gao Yi was a little dazed, so he could only remind him: "What did you do to make my competitors launch a desperate attack?"
Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "We found and captured little Andyke."
The president frowned, and Panetta said with a happy face: "I think this is the reason."
The president was puzzled and asked, "Little Andyke? What's his use?"
In fact, Gao Yi didn't know what the use of little Andyke was.
At this time, Panetta said calmly: "Mr. President, just today, the price of Bitcoin plummeted from 42,000 US dollars to 28,000 US dollars. This has caused turmoil in the currency circle. If no measures are taken, the price of Bitcoin may return to zero, and many people will go bankrupt. I think this is the main reason."
“No one knows more about cryptocurrency than me.”
The president said confidently, then he waved his hand and said, "Bitcoin, as long as I release a good news, the price will go up, and as long as I release a bad news, it will fall. I don't think this is the main reason."
Panetta whispered, "But what if Andyke has information that can bring Bitcoin back to zero?"
The president thought for a moment and said, "He is only the actual operator of the dark web, but Bitcoin is not something they can control. What qualifications does he have to decide the rise and fall of Bitcoin?"
"Well, what if the holders of BitCoin are panic selling? Obviously, the main holders of BitCoin are still those invisible rich people. If they think that Andek Group has something on them, and the arrest of Andek Jr. means that they may be exposed, they will panic sell, which will definitely cause market panic and cause the price of BitCoin to plummet. The value of this virtual currency is based on confidence. As long as people lose confidence..."
"No one knows this better than me, so you don't have to tell me."
The president waved his hand again and said to Panetta, "Go and interrogate Andyke Jr. and make sure that we have what he knows."
Gao Yi suddenly had a bad feeling that the president was going to blame BitCoin.
Panetta said with a worried look on his face: "Mr. President, do you really want to... do this?"
"No, I don't want to destroy Bitcoin, but I want to control Bitcoin in my hands. I can make Bitcoin rise or fall. Little Andyke must become a weapon in our hands and must be controlled in our hands, but he cannot be a bomb that destroys the market."
The president couldn't help but smile and said, "Someone is deliberately muddying the pond. Bitcoin is very important and affects the interests of many people, but it's not to the point where those people would assassinate me. So these are two different things. It's just that someone wants to do them as if they are the same thing. Their main purpose is to kill me and drive me out of the position of president."
After finishing speaking, the president said confidently: "I will leave this matter to you. Get it over with as soon as possible and take control of the entire dark web as soon as possible. It seems that the role of the dark web is more important than I thought before. You should hurry up."
