Chapter 551 The Old Popsicle is Lost

After communicating with Catherine, Luke learned that the CIA was unwilling to release the person.

The director has signed the agreement to release the person, but the department below does not agree.

They want to arrest Bourne because he is suspected of killing a CIA agent.

But they did not tell the new CIA director about this factor.

Katherine and the director of the CIA were also transferred from the Department of Homeland Security.

Although their relationship was average, they were in a situation where they shared the same fate, so they tacitly huddled together for warmth.

Finally, under the new director's questioning, his subordinates told him about Bourne and the Stumbling Stone Project.

Even if he and Catherine had a tacit understanding, it was impossible for him to sided with outsiders and express distrust to his own people at this time.

Katherine naturally stood with Luke.

Although Luke didn't say the reason, the fact that he asked for someone showed that this person must be extraordinary.

Unfortunately, the new director has already signed the transfer agreement.

Moreover, there is no conclusion yet on Bourne's assassination of the CIA agent, and most importantly, this was not done within the federal territory.

So, American laws don’t work.

Another troublesome thing is that Bourne is now in the federal territory, and the CIA has neither the law enforcement power nor the excuse to arrest Bourne.

Finally, Catherine asked Luke's opinion and agreed that the head of the CIA should come and question Bourne face to face in order to get the CIA to release him.

Luke called Randy, the head of the CIA in Germany, directly.

The main point is that when Luke and Bourne met in India, Randy's men were killed after trading with a Russian defector agent.

Bourne had an alibi when the crime occurred.

Randy chose to believe Luke.

Because Luke made it very clear that he not only knew all the details of the case, but also knew various investigative reports from the scene.

Luke told Randy straight away.

The murderer destroyed the building's electrical circuit, so there was no need to place two bombs. It was obvious that the second bomb that did not explode was used to frame Bourne and mislead them.

Randy wasn't stupid either, and he quickly understood what Luke said.

Bourne was their scapegoat.

Just as the agent was killed, Bourne was assassinated.

Afterwards, she also investigated what Luke said and confirmed Luke's testimony from the Indian side.

It is true that Bourne had been living in India and was hunted down shortly after the incident.

Randy returned to the United States and first found the new director. At her strong request, he was authorized to investigate the matter.

Then Randy found another friend, too.

There are not many women who can hold this position in the CIA, and Lasswell is one of them.

But she has a military background, and Randy has had some contact with her, not deep, but enough to have a few words with her.

Lasswell told Randy:

"You can trust Luke. He is one of the few officials who would go through fire and water for his friends. Try to be friends with him."

Lance thought about it for a long time, and finally flew to Los Angeles to meet with Luke and Bourne.

She was impressed by Luke, but Bourne was just too ordinary.

Randy came with sincerity.

When she met Bourne in the hospital, she brought Mary a bouquet of flowers.

This elder sister understands the ways of the world.

So Luke didn't put any obstacles in her way.

Let her ask Bourne directly in the hospital.

After the two sides exchanged information, Randy realized that there might be a problem within their organization.

Bourne was far away in India and had no way of knowing about the deal.

The fact that the killer was able to easily set a trap at the scene and kill the two people and take away their belongings was most likely due to the information leaked by an insider.

In addition, Randy also found out that Bourne did not kill Conklin last time.

Conklin was killed by his own people at that time, and Bourne did not kill Conklin.

Because of this detail, Randy speculated that Conklin was most likely silenced.

Seeing Randy so persistent, Luke gave her a special suggestion when he sent her away.

"Corruption within the CIA has a long history. The last incident only implicated a small number of people. What you are investigating will be very dangerous. I suggest you strengthen your personal security."

Randy was stunned for a moment after hearing what Luke said, and then his face turned ugly.

Luke knew that she understood the interests involved.

If Randy's case is investigated to the end, it will definitely block other people's financial path.

These guys in the CIA are lawless. Not to mention a branch head like you, they even dare to kill the president.

Luke was about to send Bourne and Mary to Paradise Town, but bad news came from the North Pole.

Steve Rogers has been dug out by the scientific expedition team.

They had already finished the excavation and were heading back to the United States, but a group of unidentified armed men suddenly showed up on the way.

He simply stole Steve Rogers' body and ran away.

Fortunately, there were no casualties.

Luke comforted them on the phone and asked them to return as soon as possible.

After hanging up the phone, Luke laughed instead of being angry.

Thank you so much, Commissioner Nick Fury.

There is no doubt about it, it must have been done by SHIELD.

If it were any other force, none of the scientific expedition team members present would survive.

Only Nick Fury's direct subordinates knew that these people were Luke's men, so they did not hurt anyone and only took away Steve Rogers' body.

Why did Luke laugh? Because Luke and Fury have completely different attitudes towards their subordinates.

Luke never hid anything from his subordinates, and sincerity was his attitude towards them.

Nick Fury, on the other hand, is suspicious of everything, including his men.

You will not get your subordinates to work for you sincerely by cheating.

Luke went through a lot of trouble for Bourne's matter, and even asked the FBI director to help him get the person.

Bourne saw all of this.

Luke did all this work in front of Bourne.

Bourne was a man of few words, but he was by no means ungrateful.

The same is true for Dr. Banner.

Luke helped him solve a lot of problems, the most important of which was General Ross.

Betty privately told Banner what agreement Luke had reached with General Ross for him, but Betty didn't know the specifics.

But General Ross must have gained something to make him give up on capturing Banner.

It must have taken a heavy toll on Luke.

Otherwise, General Ross would not give up Banner, such a huge fortune.

What about Nick Fury? Haha, this guy is trying to include Steve Rogers in his Avengers, no way.

But Luke is in no rush to get Steve Rogers back.

He could guess what Nick Fury would do to Steve Rogers.

Let Lilith save the entire video footage of Steve Rogers being excavated by the Arctic expedition team, and notify Frank to assemble the team.

After doing this, Luke went to Washington.

Director Nick Fury, you are not stealing my Luke's people, but the property of the United States Army.

You want to form the Avengers. Have you asked the US military for their opinion?

Grandpa Samuel, little Luke is being bullied, you have to support me.
