Chapter 178 Nails
Miss Trish is now extremely frightened. She has been with MI9 for several years. Because of her clean record, strong professional skills, and Jonas's appreciation, she has long been able to access top-secret intelligence.
Because she had access to a great deal of information, she was well aware of how terrifying the wrath of powerful figures could be, and also understood how horrible their shamelessness could be.
She had always lived cautiously and acted with utmost care, but she still couldn't escape being unfairly blamed.
Although Trish didn't know how things would turn out, she understood that she had become a real thorn in Jonas's side, and that Jonas would definitely deal with her for his own sake.
Trish has followed Jonas for so many years and knows him too well; he would never leave her as a threat.
Just as Trish collapsed to the ground, sinking into despair, Evan's voice reached her ears:
"Miss Trish, this is very bad! Have you received any tip-offs? Has Deputy Commissioner Jonas instructed you to coordinate security support?"
Evan's words snapped Trish back to reality. Thinking of the secret rivalry between Jonas and Evan during this time, she seemed to suddenly remember something and immediately threw herself at Evan's leg, pleading:
"Jonas did receive a report, but he didn't care at all, and he didn't ask me to arrange any security forces. He said this to Duke Negan in order to shirk his responsibility and make me take the blame for him!"
Evan, please help me out, considering our past relationship!
If even you won't help me, I'm sure I'll die a horrible death!
Evan helped Tracy up, helped her sit on a stool, and said comfortingly:
"Don't cry. Things haven't gotten out of control yet. And you must stay calm, or you'll really have no chance left."
You were the one who guided me into MI9, and I will never abandon you no matter what!
After graduating, Miss Tracy calmed down under his encouragement and then continued:
"Based on what you just said, if I were Deputy Director Jonas, I would be rushing back right now to forge a warrant to mobilize security forces and plug all the loopholes."
He did all this mainly to shift the blame. If he can shift the blame, then you can shift the blame too!
Having been a secretary for so long, you should be able to imitate Deputy Director Jonas's handwriting and write a transfer order first.
Captain Wade of MI9 has already led the mobile force to provide support, and only his secretary should be in his office.
Go to Captain Wade's office, slip the forged warrant into her secretary's desk, then lure her out of headquarters and kill her. That way, you'll have shifted the blame.
After all, no one would have guessed that Captain Wade's secretary was a member of a cult of witches!
Therefore, it is only natural that Captain Wade did not receive the corresponding hand order.
Once Deputy Director Jonas returns, tell him everything, explaining that you've already cleaned up the mess after hearing the news, and he should let you off the hook!
Evan sat opposite Miss Trish, took a sip of coffee, and calmly explained the way out he had already found for her.
Trish looked at the handsome and sunny Evan with a shocked expression.
Although she knew beforehand that Evan wasn't a naive girl, this was the first time she had personally heard him give her instructions.
She was taught how to frame her colleagues and protect herself. Her body trembled involuntarily, and she felt unusually cold.
"Will Director Jonas really let me off the hook if I do this?"
Trish wasn't innocent either; an innocent person wouldn't be in her current position. After a moment's thought, she put aside her conscience and decided to do as Evan suggested, though she doubted whether Jonas would let her off the hook.
Hearing Trish's concerns, Evan chuckled and said:
"On the one hand, you are, after all, someone close to him, and you have already taken care of the aftermath beforehand. It would be really unreasonable for Jonas to make things difficult for you!"
On the other hand, it's better for someone close to Captain Wade to get into trouble than for someone close to him to get into trouble.
And most importantly, Wade was promoted by Jonas, so it's only natural that he would take the blame for his boss!
There is another important reason: other deputy directors also received Evan's whistleblower letter. Once this matter is exposed, Jonas will be under much less pressure. However, many people are still unaware of this.
After listening to Evan's analysis, Trish finally breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly pulled a piece of paper from under her desk, wrote a warrant in Jonas's handwriting and tone, and then looked at Evan with a complicated expression before saying:
"I'll lure Captain Wade's secretary outside and kill him, but I can't handle the body!"
"I'll handle it for you, you don't need to worry about anything!"
Evan immediately agreed to Trish's request without the slightest hesitation, staring intently into Trish's beautiful big eyes as he spoke.
Trish looked at Evan, who had a faint smile on his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then said with difficulty:
"Thank you for your help. I will repay you for your help today in the future!"
After saying that, Miss Trish took the warrant, turned and left the office. It was clear that she knew Evan had given her this idea, and it was definitely not because of the kindness he had shown her in the past.
Evan finished his coffee with a smile before leaving.
After leaving MI9, Evan stood in the shadows, unnoticed, watching as Trish brought out an equally beautiful secretary, chatting and laughing, and entered the coffee shop across the street. He murmured:
"Clean it up thoroughly!"
A superhuman suddenly appeared from the shadows beside Evan, drew an inverted cross on his chest, and then disappeared back into the shadows, following Trish and another woman.
This "hermit" was borrowed by Evan from Mr. A. After helping Trish dispose of the body, he would dedicate himself to the Lord.
After giving his instructions, Evan headed towards MI9 to attend an emergency meeting convened due to the assassination attempt on Duke Negan.
A short while later, Evan saw from his office window that Trish left the coffee shop alone as if nothing had happened and returned to MI9. Not long after that, he saw Jonas rushing back.
Finally, Evan received a call to attend a meeting, where he discovered that Miss Trish was still by Jonas's side.
Evan smiled at Miss Tracy, knowing she had passed the test.
Then came an emergency meeting chaired by the head of MI9, where Jonas relayed Robert's assessments and orders from the scene.
The relevant orders had already been heard by the head of MI9 during a meeting with Robert, so it was decided on the spot that the focus of MI9 in the future would be to crack down on the Witch Cult and the Aurora Society.
After outlining the key points for future work, Captain Wade of MI9's Operations Team Two proactively offered a self-criticism, admitting that his secretary had concealed Deputy Director Jonas's orders, causing him to fail to promptly deploy to Earl Green's residence to strengthen security, thus putting Duke Negan in danger. He then requested disciplinary action for this.
Jonas stepped forward at the opportune moment, announcing that the investigation had determined that Captain Wade's female secretary was a member of the Witch Cult and had now disappeared, and offered to remove Wade from his position as captain.
Furthermore, he admitted at the meeting that he had acted carelessly, only writing a written order without issuing a formal document, which gave the witch cult an opportunity to take advantage of him, so he also requested to be punished.
Giving Jonas a punishment of this caliber is not a decision that the head of MI9 can make, even though the head is a demigod.
So the director immediately dismissed Wade from his position as captain and ordered him to be investigated. He also instructed Ivan to do everything he could to find the missing secretary. Finally, he comforted Jonas and asked him to write a self-criticism.
Just when everyone thought the meeting was about to end, the head of MI9 announced the orders he had just received: MI9 would undergo a major overhaul, using the Negan case as an opportunity, and all relevant documents would be archived for review.
Robert's long-planned second act was ignited by the assassination of the Duke of Negan.
After the meeting, many people gathered around Evan, hoping to hear some inside information from him, but Evan claimed that he didn't know anything about it.
Back in his office, Evan reviewed all the events of the day.
In fact, Evan's most important target was not Jonas. Evan knew very well that getting rid of Jonas would not solve any problems; someone else would just have to step in.
That's why Evan had Helen's mother write a different letter—he didn't want to condemn Jonas outright, but rather give him some room to defend himself.
The ideal situation for Evan would be to leave a stain on Jonas's record, but still let him hold the position of deputy director of MI9, while placing one of his own people next to him and clipping one of his wings.
Therefore, Evan's main objective in this operation was actually to target Miss Trish and Captain Wade of the task force.
The purpose of setting this trap for Jonas was twofold: firstly, to create some trouble and stains on his record, making it easier for Robert to manipulate him later.
At the same time, it also gave Jonas an opportunity to shift the blame onto Miss Trish, forcing her into a corner where she had no choice but to ask Evan for help.
Then Evan suggested that Miss Trish pin the blame on Captain Wade's secretary, implicate Wade, and have Trish kill Wade's secretary herself as a pledge of loyalty.
Apart from Robert's unexpected intrusion, everything went as Irwin had anticipated.
Robert assumed that the person who orchestrated Jonas's scheme hadn't anticipated Jonas's shamelessness and would try to shift the blame to his secretary, so he framed Jonas from another angle.
Little did he know that it was precisely because Evan had anticipated Jonas's shamelessness that he used this to his advantage to turn Miss Tracy against him.
And cut off its wings.
"After this incident, Robert will probably suspect that I was the one who framed Jonas, but unfortunately he can't find any relevant evidence. However, he will probably have someone tell me to go home tonight to test me."
Just then, there was a knock on Evan's office door. After receiving Evan's permission, the door opened.
It turned out to be Mr. Hope who arrived.
"His Excellency has instructed you to return home."
Evan took a piece of clothing from the hanger, put it on, and said:
"I actually have something to say to my brother, let's go together!"
Evan now wants to persuade his brother not to leave Jonas idle during the upcoming MI9 reorganization.
