At night, the US Marines, accompanied by Leigh and squad of Intelligence Marines, had arrived at the address Leigh noted onto her intelligence notes and walked for hours before patiently waiting for the right time to strike.

As Leigh yawned, she noticed a group of tuxedo-wearing men walking out of some luxury cars and entering the building by using the backdoor. She motioned her men and the other US Marines to follow her, which they all did until Leigh stopped in a corner to be able to see without getting spotted. From where she stood, Leigh saw the men knocking a signal consisting of three short knocks and two long ones.

After the mysterious men came into the building, Leigh and Darnell shot the two guards dead before they could even use their PPSh-41 machine guns while the other US Marines followed her.

Darnell then knocked three times quickly on the door before knocking two long times, getting the guard behind the door to open, only to get stabbed dead by Leigh, who put her OKC-3S to good use. The duet then silently entered the building before coming across a corridor, where they also saw a door on the right at the end of this corridor. Arriving at the door, Leigh and her squad, accompanied by several US infantry Marines, kicked it open before breaching it and came inside before opening fire.

Leigh and the other US Marines, including her squad, shot the armed men dead before knocking the tux-wearing men in the face to force them on the ground. The US infantry Marines then handcuffed the men while Leigh searched them, only to find the man calling himself "The Voice" had hidden documents inside his wallet. And said documents revealed how Chinese authorities intended to sabotage the US Democrat Party by infiltrating conspiracy theorists into its ranks as well as spread disinformation about allegations regarding President Barnes' administration as being bigoted racists.

But Leigh also found plans to stage a false flag attack on the US and Chinese delegations to have the US accuse some of their allies from World War III for this assassination and weaken President Barnes' public image. Leigh had also found several papers showing financial transactions with a man fittingly called "The Launderer."

Knowing they now had a lead, Leigh, her squad and their fellow US Marines brought their prisoners to the extraction point before going back to base.
