However, just as Giannini was about to discuss some business matters with Jiang Chen, the banquet was suddenly interrupted by a rude knock on the door.
The melodious music playing in the hall gradually stopped, and two white men in suits walked in with obviously unkind expressions.
The lively party suddenly fell silent.
Seeing the people coming in, Governor Brown frowned slightly, and walked towards the two men in suits and leather shoes. Jiang Chen noticed that behind the two, Lawrence from the FBI also trotted up to follow, with displeasure written all over his face.
Although he was unhappy, Brown still asked in a gentle tone: "What's the matter, Mr. Stephen, this is my party, and all the people invited are good law-abiding citizens. Or did it happen in the parade in front of the bridge in the morning?" The terrorist attack in the middle of the night gave you such a headache that you want to come to me for a drink or two?"
"Abiding by the law? Is it?" The man called Stephen snorted coldly, scanned the hall of the governor's mansion with eagle-like eyes, locked on Jiang Chen, and gradually narrowed his eyes. , "Are you Jiang Chen?"
The establishment of the intelligence department is somewhat special, as far as the CIA and FBI are concerned, these departments directly serve the National Security Council of the United States. And the chairman of the National Security Council of the United States is held by the president, so the CIA can be said to be an organization with a strong central color, and it is completely different from the state government.
It is precisely because of this that Stephen can completely ignore the governor.
"Yes, what's the matter?" Jiang Chen said pleasantly, putting the wine glass aside.
"Our agents found some interesting things in Ukraine. You know, the Russians have been making small moves there recently. To put it bluntly, they are illegal intrusions. According to the responses of Ukrainian government soldiers, Russian soldiers disguised as Ukrainian civilian armed forces used developed a weapon capable of disabling electronic devices."
"Sorry, I don't understand what you said." Jiang Chen said with a smile.
He noticed that Zhu Yu, who was wearing a brown suit, was already standing at the door with her hands in her pockets.
Of course she didn't draw a gun, but if this Mr. Stephen did something disrespectful, Ghost had a hundred ways to make him lie on the ground.
"Really? I think your company is an expert in EMP weapons, so it should be very clear what this means." Stephen sneered.
The guests attending the banquet all looked at this side with interested eyes, this kind of
Jiang Chen sighed,
Reluctantly spread his hands.
"It's too arbitrary to conclude that the weapon came from the Future Group based on the characteristics of EMP alone? So what if there are people in the Ukrainian civilian and government forces holding M4 rifles? Or are those people actually American special forces? ?”
Stephen's tone was a little threatening: "I hope you will show a cooperative attitude, I am not joking with you."
"So, what are you going to do to get me, who is not an American, to cooperate?" Jiang Chen shrugged and said with a nonchalant smile.
Speaking of this, the tension between the two has reached its peak.
Brown waited angrily for Stephen. He didn't care about whether there was an EMP in a Ukrainian town tens of thousands of kilometers away. He only cared about how many dollars of investment could be won for California at this party, and how many people's jobs could be solved.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Jiang Chen negotiates a deal with anyone here, it will give him some help in the next governor election.
Sadly, however, the party apparently fell through.
Just when he was about to speak, Lawrence, who had been standing at the door, spoke first. Facing this colleague who belonged to a different department, he rarely used an aggressive tone.
"Enough, Mr. Stephen, Jiang Chen is a guest of the White House, not your suspect. Everything must be done according to procedures. If there is no procedure, what do we need the White House and the Constitution for?"
Stephen said word by word: "In the face of national security, there are exceptions to everything. And I'm not interrogating, I just hope he can cooperate with the investigation."
Lawrence stared at him and said without flinching: "But the FBI is responsible for his safety. If you understand the word national security, then ask your superiors, at least get permission to do it."
Lawrence sealed Stephen's mouth with one sentence.
As he guessed, Stephen's actions were completely private and unauthorized.
However, regarding Jiang Chen's security level, even within the FBI, it is strictly confidential information. It's understandable that Stephen, who doesn't know the inside story, will bump into him. After all, he is the commissioner assigned to Ukraine affairs. When he learned that Jiang Chen, who might be involved in this matter, would visit Los Angeles, he immediately flew from Washington. come over.
Without even consulting his superiors.
"Ahem, Mr. Stephen, say hello to Mr. Naomi for me." Giannini coughed lightly.
Jiang Chen noticed that Stephen's shoulders were visibly stiff.
Presumably Naomi should be his immediate boss. Judging by the way he doesn't hold Lawrence in check, he's at least at the level of a secret service chief (SAC), or above that. In this way, the Mr. Naomi mentioned by Giannini should be at the level of the director or deputy director.
It seems that the strength of this California consortium should not be underestimated.
In the end, under the pressure of those gazes, Stephen gestured to the assistants around him and chose to retreat temporarily.
But before leaving, he seemed to leave a sentence in protest: "I will find evidence."
evidence?
Jiang Chen almost didn't laugh out loud.
So what if the evidence is collected?
Can the United States give him a sentence?
Presumably this CIA agent should belong to the kind of "newcomer" who is promoted too fast, eager to do something to prove his achievements in this position. However, this idea is often quite dangerous, especially for people who are engaged in dangerous industries.
On the other hand, Lawrence, an old fox, would never do such a rash thing.
Not thinking that Mr. Stephen could bring him any trouble, Jiang Chen looked at him with a smile and said, "Welcome."
"I'm sorry for such a small episode." Brown walked to Jiang Chen's side with a wine glass and said in an apologetic tone.
"It's okay, I can treat it as a funny sideshow." Jiang Chen said with a smile.
Friendly laughter came from around, Zhu Yu nodded slightly to Jiang Chen, exited the hall after Lawrence, and closed the door of the governor's mansion, melodious music sounded, and the party continued.
However, after such a small episode, everyone's nature has been reduced to the minimum. Even though Mr. Governor is very sociable, he barely managed to keep the banquet till the end, and he did his best. Because of the sudden visit of the CIA, such a well-planned party was completely screwed up.
It wasn't just the governor who was annoyed, but Andy Giannini.
The people from the CIA not only messed up his mood, but also messed up his business.
He originally planned to discuss cooperation matters with Jiang Chen, but he swallowed everything back.
After such a thing happened, who is in the mood to discuss business?
But Giannini didn't care either. After all, Jiang Chen still had a while to stay in Los Angeles, and he still had a lot of opportunities. (To be continued.)
