"Before discussing Hale Rick's intentions, it is necessary to first introduce his identity."

From his wheelchair, Luo An looked towards Chenier. Chenier opened the folder in her hand and said loudly:

"Hale Rick, 40 years old, one of the Underworld arms dealers, not only competes with fellow arms dealer Hamidun but also harbors some personal grievances in business.

A few months ago, Minister Alexander and others had executed an operation to capture him, which ultimately failed due to some unexpected occurrences, allowing Hale Rick to escape.

In that operation, Hale Rick was severely injured, nearly getting finished off by arms dealer Hamidun when he was down."

After Chenier finished her briefing, Trick Kennedy narrowed his eyes and asked:

"You just mentioned that Minister Alexander's operation unexpectedly failed; was it because of that high-ranking mole?"

"It is not yet certain."

Luo An took the folder from Chenier's hands and responded:

"One can only say it's a possibility."

"OK."

Trick Kennedy gave a cold glance towards the three, Antoine, who were quietly discussing, and said:

"Group Leader Luo An, please continue."

"OK."

Luo An lifted the folder in his hand and continued:

"Ever since his severe setback during that escape, Hale Rick has been seeking revenge against Minister Alexander.

Recently, he noticed that Minister Alexander was frequently contacting the Chicago Special Investigation Team, so he decided to try and find out if he could get any useful information from the members of the Chicago Special Investigation Team."

As a result, on probing slightly, Hale Rick discovered that one of the members of the Chicago Special Investigation Team, Ivan, was involved in a suppressed fatal car accident case due to money.

Hale Rick had his men move the family of the car accident's victim under his control, and through threats and bribes, successfully persuaded Ivan to work for him.

This is also the reason Luo An and others were unaware of this; the people involved had been transported away by Hale Rick's men, and they couldn't trace anything.

Trick Kennedy frowned slightly, taking detailed notes in his notebook, Antoine pondered for a few seconds, and asked:

"Hale Rick got to know about Minister Alexander's dock operation from Ivan, right?"

"That's correct."

Luo An nodded, tapping a photo of Hale Rick with a whiteboard marker, and said:

"Hale Rick didn't just learn about the dock operation; he also found out about the 'FBI and CIA lists' that Jesper was involved with.

From this information, Hale Rick orchestrated his plan to kill four birds with one stone:

First, he sent someone directly, that truck driver, to ram and kill Minister Alexander, avenging himself for his earlier ordeal.

Second, he left some clues in the truck driver's house related to arms dealer Hamidun, pinning the blame on him.

Third, on the day of the dock transaction, he hired a group of mercenaries in the name of arms dealer Hamidun to lay an ambush.

He planned to kill arms dealer Hamidun during the transaction, avenging the previous betrayal and ensuring the framed charges could not be disproven, thereby concealing his own identity.

Fourth, he intended to kidnap the crime group leader Jesper and extract the 'FBI and CIA lists' from him, which intrigued him deeply."

"Son of a bitch."

Trick Kennedy cursed softly. Antoine and his team resumed their discussion quietly. Mr. Clement pondered for a moment and then asked:

"Luo An, what did you mean by 'accident' earlier?"

"It's simple, throughout the incident, there are discrepancies in information everywhere."

Luo An maneuvered his wheelchair, tapping photos on the whiteboard solemnly:

"Minister Alexander, the high-ranking mole, Jesper, arms dealer Hamidun, all four of them had their own schemes but were unaware of each other's plans.

The members and leader of the Chicago Investigation Team, agents from the FBI headquarters, and the lower-tier moles also did not grasp the full picture.

As for Hale Rick, he got his information from agent Ivan; he only knew about the dock transaction and was oblivious to the plans of the four individuals mentioned earlier."

That day at the transaction site, everyone present at the docks was prepared for an exchange of gunfire.

This led to a situation where, when Hale Rick and his mercenaries surged forward, the people on the dock were somewhat caught off guard, but the arms dealer Hamidun managed to retreat successfully with the help of his subordinates; meanwhile, a traitorous agent took advantage of the chaos to release Jesper, enabling Jesper to leave smoothly.

Those killed by the group of mercenaries included the head of the Chicago Special Investigation Team, most of the agents, and two agents from the FBI Headquarters.

Hale Rick exerted a lot of effort but failed to capture the targets he most desired, so he had to continue sending more personnel to chase after Jesper and arms dealer Hamidun.

The reason why the bald-headed men were pursuing Chicago's Donita and Norberto was precisely because of this, as they hoped to extract information about arms dealer Hamidun and Jesper from them.

After hearing all this, Trick Kennedy's eyes widened in shock, the two men in suits next to Antoine exchanged looks, Mr. Clement's mouth curved into a smile filled with admiration, and Antoine, with a face full of surprise, pondered for a few seconds before asking:

"Group Leader Luo An, we've understood the background and consequences of the dock operation. Could you discuss how you investigated this case?"

"Of course, our Special Investigation Team also made use of various information disparities."

Luo An put away his marker, opened the folder in his hands, looked around the room at everyone present, and smiled:

"Firstly, agent Ivan, although a traitor, had his own plans. Pretending to be dead at the dock while betraying arms dealer Hale Rick, he planned to leave the federation with his wife. This led our Special Investigation Team to the incident dock.

The lower-level traitor was Alex, one of the three agents from the Washington Headquarters.

When the battle erupted at the dock, he too was confused about what exactly was going on and could only feign death to escape, choosing to follow Jesper just in case.

The parties involved in the battle on the beach were Jesper, Alex who was tracking him, and the pursuers sent by Hale Rick.

Jesper and Alex managed to escape to the Bahamas, while Hale Rick's pursuers took a boat to give chase.

Arms dealer Hamidun, meanwhile, was unaware of what exactly was happening with that group of mercenaries, but many of his subordinates had died at the dock, and Jesper had fled.

Thus, to clarify the truth and to also capture Jesper and get the list, Hamidun followed the trail to the Bahamas after hearing about the battle on the beach, thus becoming the "new force" in the subsequent events.

Our Special Investigation Team learned about the death of the 'snakehead' and quickly followed suit to the Bahamas."

Subsequently, Luo An personally led a team to the island, arrested everyone involved, and faced direct subordinates sent by Hale Rick, he exploited information gaps and impersonated the "snakehead's cousin", using a phone call opportunistically to obtain the address, allowing Captain Cyrus to make the arrest.

Finally, Luo An, alone against thirteen enemies, eliminated the opposition, walked out of the small island, and led his team back to Washington.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

"Good! Very good!"

After Luo An finished narrating, Mr. Clement expressed great pleasure and admiration, extending his hand to point towards him while loudly praising and applauding.

Trick Kennedy, who had been listening intently to Luo An's description, was visibly excited. Upon hearing the applause, he quickly stood up and enthusiastically joined in clapping for Luo An.

Antoine's expression was complex, and he too left his chair to applaud for Luo An, and although the two men in black suits beside him were visibly displeased, they were still quite amazed by Luo An's investigative process and also raised their hands to join in the applause.

Nearby, Chenier and Winslow's eyes sparkled, Mona remained expressionless, but the hands she held tightly behind her gradually loosened amidst the applause.

Outside the room, the secretary, hearing the non-stop applause inside the office, showed a hint of surprise, and then a sharp glint crossed her eyes, determined to maintain a good relationship with Group Leader Luo An in the future.

"Thank you."

Luo An smiled and nodded in gratitude, Antoine briefly praised him, then suddenly turned to look at Mr. Clement, saying:

"Chief, Jesper, Hale Rick, Hamidun, and the traitor Alex, have all been captured by Group Leader Luo An.

But that Ivan is still on the run outside, I…"

Before Antoine could finish, Trick Kennedy stepped forward, patted his shoulder:

"I'll send someone to capture him; Minister Antoine need not bother.

I think what Minister Antoine needs to focus on right now is screening for that high-ranking traitor, isn't it?"

Antoine turned his gaze, his lips curling in a smile:

"There's no rush about the high-ranking traitor..."

"Is there no rush, or do you not want to find?"

Minister Trick, your words are a bit harsh."

As the two exchanged veiled criticisms, just as Mr. Clement was about to speak, Luo An suddenly coughed lightly, saying:

"Gentlemen, Ivan has already been captured by my team."

"??!!"x5
