Legendary FBI Detective-Chapter 128: Spurted out a mouthful of old blood on the spot...
Hanging up the phone, Reesi took a deep breath, then glared fiercely at Terry, who was standing in front of her with a smile and shouted angrily:
"Under Lady Heloise's command, Terry, right? I will firmly remember today's incident!"
Having said that, without waiting for Terry to respond, Reesi quickly put away her pistol and swiftly left the place.
She had to hurry as she wasn't professionally trained and was afraid she couldn't hold back.
Watching Reesi's swiftly running figure, Terry chuckled, smacking his lips, then turned and walked into the apartment building.
But just as the elevator doors were closing, thinking of the direction in which Reesi ran, Terry's face suddenly changed:
"Damn it, could it be..."
Thinking of the guess in his mind, Terry's face turned dark as if it could squeeze out water, and he started frantically pressing the elevator buttons.
In a moment, he followed the route Reesi had run and quickly rushed to the apartment building diagonally across.

Just when Terry didn't know where to go, an ambulance suddenly stopped beside him, and seeing this, Terry's eyes lit up, and he hastily followed the nurses into the elevator.
Then, on the rooftop, Terry saw Agent Luo An and Reesi together, lifting Jacques, who was firmly shackled, onto a stretcher.
Terry: "..."
Wiping the nonexistent sweat from his forehead, Reesi, seeing Terry who had arrived, her eyes brightened.
Mimicking Terry's cough, Reesi pointed to Mona standing next to her holding a laptop and said with a smile:
"You from the CIA are here for Mona, right? She's right here, if you have any questions, you can ask her now."
Having just heard Reesi narrate the events, Luo An and Mona locked eyes and simultaneously turned their gaze toward Terry, their faces showing a slight smile.
Looking at the expressions on Luo An and Mona's faces, Terry's face slowly turned the color of a liver.
After a long silence, he finally squeezed out a word:
"...Fu-k!"
—
In the distance, in a conference room inside the Jacob Federation Building.
Lady Heloise sat in her chair, looking at Vireness sitting diagonally opposite her, feeling very displeased.
Vireness, looking down at her documents with an expressionless face, was actually also very unhappy with Lady Heloise.
It was already time to leave work, and normally, Vireness should have been home preparing to rest.
But because Lady Heloise had interrogated Demonti not long ago, Vireness hurriedly drove back from her way home.
Even so, those people from the CIA had used some unknown liquid on Demonti.
If it weren't for Augustus's quick response, who knows what Demonti might have turned into later.
As previously mentioned, the case would be handed over to the CIA tomorrow.
But since Demonti was one of the perpetrators in the explosion at the Federal Prosecutor's Office and was arrested by the FBI, he must be sent to court by the FBI.
That would be a great merit.
Before then, Demonti absolutely couldn't die.
This point also made Lady Heloise feel angry and helpless.
One wrong step, and all is lost.
According to usual practice, faced with a tough person like Demonti, Lady Heloise would have already used those trump cards from the CIA to make Demonti cry and beg to divulge information.
Just because she overlooked Luo An Greenwood, Lady Heloise couldn't do that and was put in a very passive situation:
One of the regional chiefs of the CIA now actually had to look at the face of this team manager, Vireness!
Thinking this, Lady Heloise's nails dug deep into her palm.
She wished she could use all those trump cards from the CIA on Agent Luo An!
But the gathered information showed that not only does Luo An have brains, skilled hands, keen observation, and robust strength, but he is also highly regarded by Vireness.
These made the ordinary methods against others entirely unusable on Luo An.
To target Luo An, it's necessary to devise plans targeting his specific weaknesses.
But now, Lady Heloise was in a hurry to catch Jacques and simply couldn't spare the time.
"However, the data shows that the relationship between Luo An Greenwood and Mona Evans seems to be even closer."
Thinking of this, Lady Heloise's mouth curled into a cold smile:
"I previously sent someone to fetch Mona Evans, just take her away and then..."
Mona was not valued by Vireness, as her father, Javari Evans, was still abroad on a mission.
At this thought, a cold glint flashed in Lady Heloise's eyes.
"Lady Heloise."
At that moment, after finishing the documents on the conference table, Vireness first rubbed her sore shoulders, then tilted her head and asked coldly:
"How long are you planning to investigate tonight?"
These guys wouldn't leave, so Vireness couldn't go home.
The main reason was the fear that they would still use drugs in the next interrogation of Demonti, which might ultimately lead to Demonti's death.
Then their FBI efforts to arrest him would be in vain and their achievement would be lost.
Vireness had decided that if the others wanted to interrogate Demonti next, she must be present to supervise.
Another reason was that Augustus had recently called her, informing her that Agent Luo An and Reesi had guessed and discovered Jacques's whereabouts, and they were now on their way to arrest him.
If Jacques wasn't caught, it would be one thing; but if they did catch Jacques, Vireness had to ensure that neither the person nor the credit could be stolen by Lady Heloise.
After all, the day wasn't over yet, and the case still belonged to team five.
"Team Supervisor."
Hearing Vireness's words, Lady Heloise glanced at her and said emotionlessly:
"This building doesn't solely belong to the FBI, I will leave; you don't need to rush people out."
As Lady Heloise sent Terry to Mona's house to investigate clues, she also ordered her other subordinates to fetch a more potent interrogation drug.
If Terry couldn't find any clues, then Demonti would be one of the crucial leads for capturing Jacques, and Lady Heloise had no intention of letting him go.
"Humph."
Hearing this, Vireness snorted coldly, about to say something, when both her and Lady Heloise's phones suddenly rang.
Ding-a-ling—
Glancing at each other, both stood up and walked to the corners of the conference room, pressing the answer button.
Seconds later, a smile appeared on Vireness's face, while Lady Heloise's face instantly turned gloomy.
They each received calls from Agent Luo An and Terry; the message was the same: Jacques had been captured.
"Very good, Agent Luo An."
Vireness turned to look at the old lady diagonally across the conference room, slowly withdrawing her smile, but her voice involuntarily grew louder:
"You worked hard today, after the matter is settled, go home and rest well.
Tomorrow afternoon I will hold a press conference, and you will join me."
Hearing Vireness was planning a press conference, Lady Heloise, already grim-faced, looked even more upset, immediately hung up Terry's call, and then turned back, shouting angrily:
"Team Supervisor, you..."
Before the old lady could finish, Vireness hung up the phone, walked towards the conference table, and said loudly:
"Lady Heloise, don't forget to pay that one million US Dollar reward for Jacques."
After saying this, Vireness immediately picked up the folder from the table, her lips slightly raised, and left the conference room.
After all, it was a major case involving the bombing of the Federal Prosecutor's Office door; holding a press conference wasn't excessive.
"You..."
In the conference room, hearing she still had to pay the reward money to Agent Luo An, Lady Heloise's face changed colors.
The next second, unable to breathe, Lady Heloise suddenly blacked out and fell backward.
Afterwards, Lady Heloise was sent to the hospital and successfully resuscitated.
But being already of advanced age, this sudden fall caused fractures in her arms and legs, among other injuries.
Moreover, with the explosion in front of the prosecutor's office, the CIA just happened to need someone to plug the public and adversary's incessant voices.
Hence, lying in the hospital, Lady Heloise, without being present, cast her agreeing vote, and was very honored to take on this big responsibility.
After learning about this, Lady Heloise spat out a mouthful of old blood, and was again rushed into the surgery room...
Far away, inside a Chevrolet, Agent Luo An hung up the phone, frowning slightly:
"A press conference?"
