Chapter 2020 Variables

"The city that never sleeps, as expected, there is no night." Su Ziwu stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, stretched his body, then looked lazily at the night view outside the window, and couldn't help but sigh.

The city is brightly lit at night, just like daytime. The streets are crowded with cars and pedestrians. Various neon lights are flashing dazzlingly, making the whole city colorful.

The hotel that Fang Zheng arranged for them was naturally of good quality. Not only that, he also specially arranged a presidential suite on the top floor for Ye Ye and his friends. Standing in this room, there were no other super high-rise buildings around to block their view, allowing them to take in all the surrounding scenery.

This arrangement is very thoughtful.

First of all, the view from here is very good, and you can enjoy the whole picture of the city and the beautiful night view; secondly, such a height also increases safety, and any movement below can be seen clearly by them, and even the situation in the air can be seen at a glance.

Just as Su Ziwu was immersed in this beautiful night view, Fu Yu's voice came from behind him: "Compared to the capital, the nightlife here is indeed richer."

Fu Yu was lying on the sofa, scrolling through his phone out of boredom. Due to the nature of his work, he often traveled to the United States with his parents when he was a child, so he was naturally no stranger to the city that never sleeps.

"It's a bit noisy. The capital is more peaceful."

Su Ziwu shook her head gently, her long hair like a waterfall fluttering with her movements, as if expressing her dissatisfaction with this place. Her eyes swept across the bright and bustling scene around her, and a hint of disgust appeared on her face.

Fu Yu stood quietly aside, looking at Su Ziwu, and was not surprised by her reaction.

The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a helpless smile, as if she had expected Su Ziwu to say this. After all, as Su Ziwu's best friend, she knew Su Ziwu's character very well.

"rest early."

Fu Yu said softly, a hint of concern in his tone.

When Su Ziwu heard Fu Yu's words, he turned around and looked at her, with a hint of fatigue in his eyes.

"What about you?"

Su Ziwu asked back.

Fu Yu smiled slightly, then slowly stood up. She stretched her body, her movements graceful and relaxed, like a noble cat.

"Have you forgotten that I am no longer a human being..."

Her voice was calm and gentle, yet it carried a kind of helplessness that was impossible to ignore.

Su Ziwu listened to Fu Yu's words quietly, with a complex emotion in her heart. She knew that Fu Yu was telling the truth. Since Fu Yu experienced that incident, her body structure has completely changed. Although she looks no different from ordinary humans, in fact, she is no longer a pure human.

"To be honest, it's hard for me to feel tired right now."

Fu Yu continued, her eyes falling on the lights in the distance, as if she was recalling something.

Su Ziwu was silent for a moment, then sighed softly. She understood Fu Yu's feelings, but at the same time she felt a little sorry for her. After all, Fu Yu was once an ordinary human being...

Indeed, although Fu Yu looked the same as before, and even because of the pure elemental contract spirit, she had added a unique spirituality and exuded a different aura, but it could not be ignored that she had already left the human life class. Su Ziwu's face was a little complicated. She thought to herself that she could really feel that Zhao Ling, a man with an optimistic personality and careless behavior, did not care too much about whether he was a human being. In his opinion, as long as he was still alive, it seemed to be the most ideal ending.

However, unlike Zhao Ling, Fu Yu was very thoughtful. Although he never said it, Su Ziwu knew that Fu Yu still had some grudges about his current life form. After all, for a person who had long been accustomed to accepting his human identity, suddenly transforming into an elemental life form would inevitably bring a lot of discomfort and trouble.

"Come on, stop imagining that. I was just complaining casually. It's actually pretty good this way."

Seeing that Su Ziwu remained silent, Fu Yu naturally understood what she was thinking, so she stood up lightly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she reached out to hook Su Ziwu's elbow, and pulled her towards the room.

"Today I am going to monopolize you!"

Fu Yu said happily, with a bright smile on his face.

"Let Ye Ye and his group of stinky men live on their own!"

Su Ziwu smiled helplessly and said angrily.

"What are you talking about... You're talking as if I'm going to live with Ye Ye at night..."

"what……"

Fu Yu let out a strange cry, seeming a little dissatisfied with this statement.

"Alright, alright, go go!"

Su Ziwu quickly interrupted her, and then the two smiled at each other and began to chat about private matters between girls.

These private conversations were naturally not to be heard by Ye Ye and others. At this moment, they were in a small meeting room under the presidential suite. Since they were in a foreign country and the environment was extremely special, Ye Ye felt it necessary to discuss the next plan with everyone.

However, Su Ziwu and Fu Yu did not attend the meeting, but chose to go back to their room to rest. After all, after a long journey, Su Ziwu was indeed a little tired.

"well,"

Zhao Ling sighed deeply, as if he had a thousand thoughts in his mind.

"To be honest, if we really did this, we would probably become the target of public criticism in Wharton. After all, that's where the White House is located, and the residents of the United States are almost all fanatical admirers and followers of the White House."

As he spoke, he supported his chin with his hand, with a look of helplessness on his face.

Ye Ye listened to Zhao Ling's words in silence, with a trace of solemnity and contemplation on his face. Obviously, the situation Zhao Ling described made him feel a little tricky. Although he was very excited before coming, it seemed that this was all a small matter, but when it came to the actual operation, he had to consider the consequences of his actions. After all, although Suzaku and Qinglong were protecting them, he still wanted to minimize the impact as much as possible. After all, China's ambition this time was not just to target the United States.

However, just as Ye Ye was about to continue explaining his plan, a sudden cell phone ringtone suddenly rang.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

The ringing sounded particularly harsh in the quiet environment. Ye Ye was stunned and his thoughts were interrupted by the sudden sound.

Ye Ye looked at his mobile phone in surprise. This number was newly registered before he came to the United States. According to common sense, no one should know this mobile phone number.

Ye Ye stared at the strange yet familiar caller ID number on the phone screen, frowned slightly, and pressed the answer button.

Before answering the call, Ye Ye quickly cast a meaningful look at Tong Chengcheng who was concentrating on fiddling with the computer. Tong Chengcheng understood what he meant and immediately stopped what he was doing, and started typing on the keyboard with both hands like lightning.

He quickly launched an anti-tracking program to try to determine the location of the caller and to investigate the relevant information left when the phone number was registered. At the same time, he also turned on the recording function to ensure that no important information would be missed.

Tong Chengcheng's movements were as fast as lightning. Almost at the moment when Ye Ye answered the phone, he successfully obtained detailed information about the person behind the phone number. When she saw the photo displayed on the screen, she was stunned.

Tong Chengcheng's reaction caught Ye Ye's attention. He looked at Tong Chengcheng in confusion, only to see Tong Chengcheng hurriedly turning the computer over and placing it in front of him.

Ye Ye took a closer look, and the photo on the screen made him startled. The man's face in the photo was a little blurry, but Ye Ye still recognized him at a glance - Peter!

"Peter?"

Zhao Ling, Lan Yunsheng and Tong Chengcheng looked at each other, their eyes focused on the phone in Ye Ye's hand, with a hint of doubt in their eyes. Why did he call suddenly?

After all, in their plan, Peter will definitely swallow this loss and pay the compensation. After all, the information they have obtained is that Johnson now values ​​Peter very much. Peter has participated in some recent press conferences and seminars on behalf of Johnson. Johnson will definitely know what they have done through Peter's mouth.

Ye Ye was not affected by them, his tone was still lazy, even a little careless.

"Are you ready to pay?"

However, Peter on the other end of the phone was not as nervous or anxious as Ye Ye imagined. Instead, his voice sounded unusually relaxed.

"Compensation? Compensation is impossible."

Ye Ye frowned slightly, and his originally lazy expression suddenly became serious. He squinted his eyes and stared at the screen of his mobile phone, as if he could see Peter's expression through it.

"But this is not my decision."

Just when Ye Ye was about to attack, Peter suddenly added another sentence, with a hint of sarcasm and sneer in his tone.

"It wasn't your decision, Johnson?"

Hearing Peter's words, Ye Ye's heart was slightly shaken, but he quickly regained his composure, with a faint smile on his lips. He was not affected by Peter's words. After all, the current United States is like a ferocious beast that is about to die of old age. Although it still has claws and fangs, it is already old and weak.

Ye Ye thought, if the United States really dared to take action first, he wouldn't mind having a big fight with them in the city that never sleeps. He believed in his own strength and would never be afraid of any challenge.

However, Peter's next words resounded like thunder in the small conference room.

"Johnson? He's dead."

Ye Ye's smile froze on his face instantly, he widened his eyes and asked in disbelief.

"died?"

Ye Ye said in shock.

This news was too sudden for him and was completely beyond his expectations.

You know, Johnson was the highest adviser of the United States, a person of the same status as Liu Xinghua, and he actually died?

Who did it? The top brass in the US? Are they crazy?

"I'm right outside the hotel. Wouldn't you like me to come up and sit for a while?"

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Peter's words, as if he was a little disappointed that Ye Ye did not take the initiative to invite him upstairs. After hearing this, Ye Ye licked his lips unconsciously, thinking about Peter's intention in his heart.

After a moment's silence, Ye Ye finally responded.

"The meeting room on the 47th floor."

His voice was concise and crisp, without any hesitation. After that, Ye Ye hung up the phone without hesitation.

However, as soon as the phone call was hung up, Tong Chengcheng on the side couldn't wait to speak.

"Let Peter come up? Isn't this a bit risky? He is our enemy, and he is an emperor-level beastmaster."

Tong Chengcheng's tone was full of worry, and it was obvious that he had reservations about Ye Ye's decision.

Ye Ye smiled slightly and explained.

"Remember what I told you before? Peter's attitude has always been somewhat ambiguous. Whether in Atlantis or in the sea of ​​​​cherry blossoms, his behavior is unpredictable. From his tone just now, I estimate that he has probably been deprived of power. As for the specific situation, it is still difficult to say."

Ye Ye paused and continued.

"Besides, we still have Suzaku here. With her here, our safety shouldn't be a problem."

His words revealed his trust in Suzaku's strength, and he didn't seem to be worried that Peter would pose a threat to them.

Ye Ye lifted the sleeve of his arm, revealing the Suzaku tattoo on it.

Seeing Ye Ye say this, everyone shrugged, obviously convinced by Ye Ye.

About two minutes later, Peter, dressed in military uniform, and his secretary walked into the conference room, then casually pulled two stools and sat down.

Ye Ye raised his eyebrows and looked at Peter's face, which was very Western and had deep features, his eyes full of questions.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm only wearing my military uniform because I haven't had time to change yet."

Peter stroked the beard on his chin and spoke.

Ye Ye looked at Peter expressionlessly, his voice was calm and cold.

"I am not interested in your clothes at all. What I am curious about is why you are here. I believe you also know that the decapitation tactic does not work for me personally."

Peter's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a smile. He didn't seem surprised by Ye Ye's words, but seemed a little relaxed.

"Haha, Ye Ye, you are right."

Peter said.

"We have indeed given up that unrealistic decapitation tactic a long time ago. After all, with your ability and experience, it won't work. To be honest, if we are not enemies, perhaps we should become good friends."

Ye Ye's eyes were still cold. He stared at Peter quietly, waiting for him to continue speaking.

Peter paused for a moment, then continued.

"And, if I'm not mistaken, the Azure Dragon is probably watching here from the sky."
