The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Los Angeles, Coast Building.

In the conference room, the video playing on the computer was projected onto a silver screen.

Cialie, dressed in formal attire, came out of the hospital and was about to get into her car.

A little girl emerged from the crowd of reporters and supporters nearby, holding a small Stars and Stripes flag in one hand and a simple flower in the other. She called out Hillary's name and ran towards her.

Security personnel tried to stop them, but Cila stopped them.

Sila turned to look at the little girl, who ran over and, with a slightly shy look in Sila's encouraging eyes, presented her with the flowers in her hand, saying, "I wish you a speedy recovery."

"Thank you." Seraphim accepted the flowers and knelt down to hug the girl.

The girl then handed the small Stars and Stripes flag to Hillary, looking as if she were giving her the entire United States.

Sillari accepted the Stars and Stripes and gave the little girl a big hug.

This scene looks quite touching, and it also has a unique, suggestive quality.

When the video ended, Caroline looked at the little girl in the still frame and said, "Where did they find this child? Her acting is so natural, she could stand out in Hollywood."

Hawke casually remarked, "Politicians are always putting on an act, and Hillary probably made similar preparations long ago, specifically training these kinds of young actors."

Edward asked, "Shall we continue?"

Hawke nodded: "Let's continue."

Edward operated the computer and continued playing videos related to Sillari.

After about ten minutes, the matter came to a temporary end.

Hawke asked Caroline, "Is the political screening of Twitter users complete?"

“It’s all done,” Caroline said simply. “We mainly divided into five groups: hardcore supporters of Sila and Tom Emer, casual supporters of both, and those in between.”

Hawke looked at Sasha and said, "Focus on pushing the dirt on Sila and the good news about Tom Emmer to her casual supporters and swing voters."

The biggest advantage of Twitter over traditional media is that it can push the news you need directly to the relevant users.

After acquiring LinkedIn, Twitter gained access to LinkedIn's massive professional user base and database, and its influence among mid-to-high-level professionals became significant.

A knock came at the door. Edward went to open it, came back with a USB drive, and said to Hawke, "This was sent by Stephen, Tom Emer's campaign manager."

Hawke had received a call from Tom Emmer before and knew what it was, so he said, "Play it."

The projected images on the screen showed two people: Tom Emmer's assistant, Krish, and Samantha, the woman at the center of the illegitimate child scandal.

The photos were all taken from a third-person perspective, and they all depict the daily interactions between Krish and her son Samantha.

From an outsider's perspective, this is a family of three.

Caroline asked Hawke in a low voice, "Was Tom Emer already prepared?"

“I’m not sure.” Hawke also lowered his voice: “Whether he had a plan beforehand or just had the photos taken is not important to us, as long as these photos are all real.”

Someone carefully examined it and concluded: "It's all genuine, without any alterations."

Hawke said, "Send it all out as today's headline news, just like I said before."

“Yes,” Sasha replied.

The brief meeting ended, and everyone went back to their work.

Hawke returned to his office and, after Edward followed him in, asked, "Any news from Campos?"

"Not yet." Edward took out his phone and glanced at it. "Carlos spoke to me on the phone earlier, and so far, I haven't noticed anything unusual."

Hawke recalled that in his previous life, during the election email scandal, before voting even began, several people who exposed the emails seemed to have died one after another, either by accident or suicide.

This shows that Hillary is extremely vengeful and simply cannot wait that long.

Furthermore, women think about problems differently than men.

Edward made a wild guess: "Perhaps the other side thinks that all the information has been released?"

Hawke still held out hope for WikiLeaks, saying, "Go and inform Tom Emmer that it's time to release Wenner's video; just hand it over to WikiLeaks."

Edward said, "I'll contact them right away."

Hawke thought for a moment and then called Jennifer Hewitt.

The FBI is the most suitable agency to handle this matter.

The FBI's Los Angeles office manages not only Los Angeles, but also several surrounding counties, including Orange County.

…………

Orange County, Irvine.

McFly strode into the house on the street, which was WikiLeaks' temporary office.

He told his only two colleagues, Victor and Smith, "Great news! Great news! The website's traffic in these three days has increased 127 times compared to last week!"

Victor said, "Don't get arrogant, this is just the beginning."

Smith agreed, saying, "Without a continuous stream of exciting content, this wave of traffic will quickly disappear, and the website will struggle to keep people interested for long."

McFly pulled out a chair and sat down, saying, "I've carefully studied Twitter's history and found that it initially attracted viewers by using a 'whistleblowing' model, and retained users through solid operations and convenient online communication..."

Suddenly, the office landline rang, interrupting the three's discussion.

Viktor glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was an unfamiliar overseas number. When he answered, a voice changed by a voice changer came on.

"Hello, Viktor, you're a lucky guy. You did a great job last time, and I've decided to continue working with you. I've sent you some new content to your inbox."

“Buddy…” Viktor hadn’t finished speaking when the other end of the phone hung up.

He quickly sat back down at his computer and logged into his email.

Smith asked, "Who was the one who leaked the information last time?"

Victor quickly replied, "They've been using a voice changer. I'm not sure, but it probably is."

He downloaded the latest email he received and waited a moment. He found it contained a video and related task information and photos.

The photos mostly feature two Indians. Victor had just posted news about Sirali and knew the woman in the photos—Huma Abedin, Sirali's assistant.

The man was Abedin's husband, Wenner.

Several photos also show Wenner and Abedin with Hillary, suggesting a close relationship between the two sides.

He then opened Wenner's video and watched it carefully.

McFly couldn't help but say, "So he's the one who fabricated all this information. No wonder it looks so real."

Smith asked in bewilderment, "Why would he do that?"

Viktor has gone through the process of marriage and divorce: "Perhaps it's a falling out between husband and wife. Once problems arise between couples, they often become enemies."

“This guy also revealed some new information,” McFly asked. “Should we publish it?”

Viktor made a decision: "Send it out, it has to be sent out, WikiLeaks needs it!"

The three got to work, and within ten minutes, all the videos, photos, and text materials about Wenner appeared on the front page of WikiLeaks.

The website's traffic, which had been declining, surged again.

…………

The moment the video appeared on the website, Hillary Clinton's campaign team, who had been closely following WikiLeaks, immediately reported the news to Sullivan. Sullivan went straight to Clinton's temporary office and waited until Clinton and her running mate, Old Deng, finished their meeting before entering the office and saying, "WikiLeaks has another news story."

Sila's heart tightened suddenly: "What happened now?"

Old Deng was already gone. Sullivan, without any hesitation, quickly repeated the story and then showed Hillary the photos and videos released by WikiLeaks.

The more Seraphim looked, the colder her heart became: "No wonder, no wonder, so that's where the problem lies."

She immediately thought of another point: "Does Abedin know?"

“They probably don’t know,” Sullivan reminded him. “Do you remember? Wenner disappeared in England last year, and we looked for him…”

Sylvie raised her hand to interrupt him: "Whether you know it or not is not important. Abedin is not suitable to participate in the work that follows."

Sullivan thought Hillary was about to make a move, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

Sila shook her head: "She has been with me for many years. Although her work ability is not particularly outstanding, she is still loyal. Don't do anything reckless."

Sullivan said no more.

Sillari appeared calm, but was actually furious. However, her anger stemmed from Wenner, WikiLeaks, and then Abedin.

She said coldly, "Find Wenner, and WikiLeaks too!"

Sullivan quickly replied, "Ivanov's team has arrived in Irvine and is doing some preliminary work. They are expected to start operations within a week."

Sila knew this was the usual style of Ivanov's squad: first devise a plan, find a safe escape route, and then take action.

But she couldn't wait any longer. If she didn't make those media bastards realize that some things can't be said casually, who knows what might happen in a week.

Sillali said sternly, "Tell Ivanov I want results within two days."

Sullivan could tell that Hillary was furious.

This kind of anger can only be extinguished by life and blood.

After Sullivan left, Hillary made a phone call and summoned Abedin.

She didn't say anything, but simply showed Abedin Wenner's video.

As Abedin watched, his legs suddenly went weak, and he took a step back, falling flat on his backside onto the floor.

"Madam..." She had a lot to say in her defense, but in the video, her husband stood on the opposite side of Hillary and revealed a lot of heavy-handed dirt, including emails.

Sillari raised her hand to stop her from continuing: "I know this has nothing to do with you, and I have always trusted you a lot, but this election is not just me working hard, but the whole team working hard, and everyone has their own ideas."

Abedin understood; his personal safety was not a problem.

She quickly got up from the ground and said, "I'll go write my resignation letter right now and stay home to study so I can apply for the Juris Doctor program at New York University. From today onwards, I won't leave the house except for daily shopping."

Everyone has feelings, and Silali treated Abedin differently after all. She waved her hand and said, "Go."

American elections are constantly lowering people's moral standards.

Sylvia was incredibly frustrated and suddenly felt the need to vent, so she remembered her special tool, Leonardo.

This guy is a sprinter, but he has an exceptionally good tongue.

Sylvia instinctively wanted to ask Abedin to contact Leonardo, but when she reached for the intercom, she pulled her hand back.

She took out her phone and dialed Leonardo DiCaprio's private number directly.

The call was answered quickly: "Why are you calling me this time?"

Sillari said in a commanding tone, "Come to New York, and leave immediately."

Meanwhile, Leonardo DiCaprio was having dinner with a young model when he heard this. The smell of stale gutter oil seemed to fill his mouth and nose, causing his stomach to clench and making him gag.

"vomit--"

The sound came out too fast for Leonardo to cover the microphone, and Sylvia didn't move the phone away from her ear.

An eerie silence fell over both sides.

Leonardo placed his hand on the hanging-up case.

But Hillary's shamelessness far exceeded Leonardo's expectations.

Isn't he disgusting? Then let him have his fill! Sillaly made her decision: after this, she would abandon Leonardo forever.

She said coldly, "You only have ten hours."

When Leonardo heard the dial tone, he looked at the beautiful 18-year-old female model on the other end, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and said with a smile, "Sorry, the person over there was disgusting. They said things that made me want to vomit."

The female model said, "It's okay, shall we continue?"

Leonardo disregarded Cialie and said, "Of course we'll continue."

No female model in this world can stay 18 forever, but there are always 18-year-old female models.

…………

Orange County, Irvine.

A typical Toyota sedan drove up to a location not far from WikiLeaks' temporary office and parked on the side of the road.

Mikhail, sporting a fresh new look, got out of the car to smoke, much like the driver who was suffering from a nicotine craving.

He would look up at the sky from time to time, and carefully identify any birds that flew by.

Last time, they saw a drone.

Orange County is not far from Los Angeles, and Ivanov was quite wary of Hawke Osmont's people, so he emphasized that they should be wary of enemies in the sky.

But after most of the day, and changing locations several times, there were no drones in the sky except for birds and the occasional passing flight.

As for checking WikiLeaks, I didn't find much of a result.

The three men did not leave the house that was being used as a temporary office until late at night.

Mikhail made a phone call to Hamsik on the other side, handed over his shift to someone else, and left.

Back at their temporary lodgings, in a warehouse rented out by an electronics factory, Mikhail met a worried Ivanov.

The latter stated directly, "The higher-ups are urging us to resolve this within two days."

Mikhail frowned: "Isn't this too hasty? We've only just scouted the site for the first time today."

Ivanov said, "There was a direct order from above, and the investigation has been thorough. The target this time is three ordinary website editors."

He remained cautious and asked, "Is there anything unusual?"

Mikhail shook his head: "No, those three people never came out, and there were no drones nearby."

Hamsik, who returned a little earlier, said, "It's the same on my end."

Ivanov was under a lot of pressure. Seeing that the two men hadn't noticed anything unusual, he said, "Observe for another day. If there are no other developments, we'll take action directly."

Tanya then came out of another room and said, "I just investigated WikiLeaks' house. The network they use has been having some problems recently. The network company sent people over, but they couldn't completely solve the problem because the house they're using as a temporary office is a residential building, and the network switch has had problems multiple times in the past two years."

"Residential houses?" Ivanov asked. "Are there natural gas pipelines or media?"

Tanya glanced down at the documents in her hand: "There are natural gas pipelines."

"There's always the possibility of gas leaks and explosions," Ivanov said. (End of Chapter)
