Chapter 1277: Chapter 1282: Swift Return
We got the item Aaron specifically wanted, delivered by the cleaning crew, but once they hand it over, they’ll inevitably co back to take it.
It’s slightly complicated, but it’s still a testant to the cleaning crew’s efforts to uncover the Grey-cloaked People’s core secrets, so it’s not too complex.
Now, Yang Yi understands the cleaning crew’s tactics: they’ll do anything to make things look convincing, to help Yang Yi infiltrate the Grey-cloaked People smoothly, and to get Yang Yi closer to their secrets.
In other words, apart from Yang Yi, the cleaning crew won’t hesitate to be ruthless towards anyone else from the Organization of Water.
So, now, apart from Yang Yi, everyone else is indeed in a bit of danger.
Returning to the temporary shelter with Azar, Yang Yi gathered everyone together again. He took out the box and the tal cross inside, then softly said, “This thing is very important. That Frenchman today won’t just give up; he will definitely co to snatch it. We must be ready to handle any situation!”
Anton whispered, “What is it?”
Yang Yi exhaled, then softly said, “That Victor, I suspect he’s with the cleaning crew.”
Now, Yang Yi’s identity is that of a traitor to the cleaning crew, so even if he’s bugged, he can openly ntion the cleaning crew, without needing to tell the others that the item was given by the crew. He just needs to let them know to prepare for an attack from the cleaning crew.
The cleaning crew would never spare those around Yang Yi, so naturally, Yang Yi doesn’t need to spare mbers of the cleaning crew.
Obviously allies, yet they fight each other more ruthlessly than anyone else, which is truly exasperating.
Brian’s expression turned serious, and he said in a low voice, “From now on, we’re on high alert.”
Yang Yi nodded, then said softly, “I need to notify Aaron that we obtained this item, see how he reacts. I think he might ask us to return imdiately, but that’s just a guess, not certain.”
Yang Yi took out his phone. Just as he was about to make a call, there was a knock at the door.
Anton went to open the door, and it was Azar at the entrance.
Azar seed a bit unhappy as he walked in and softly said to Yang Yi, “Barham just arranged a eting ti with . It’s not good; he can only et us the day after tomorrow.”
Yang Yi froze for a mont and said, “The day after tomorrow?”
“Yes, the day after tomorrow evening. He has important matters to deal with right now and can’t et us.”
Yang Yi pondered for a mont. They originally planned to et today, but the eting was postponed to the day after tomorrow, which could be problematic.
There hasn’t been any contact with Aaron yet. Aaron might have so new instructions, who knows.
Yang Yi nodded and said, “Alright, I understand. Um, do you know where we’ll et?”
Azar seed unguarded and softly said, “Kebir Grand Mosque.”
Yang Yi smiled and said, “Alright, then we’ll stay here for two more days. It’s not a big issue.”
Azar nodded, checked his watch, and said, “When it’s ti for dinner, soone will bring food. If you need anything, you can find , and I’ll communicate with them. Um, is there anything else?”
Yang Yi smiled and said, “Not at the mont, thank you.”
Azar left, and Yang Yi pondered for a mont, then nodded at Anton.
With two days’ ti and knowing the eting location in advance, Baghdadi is certain to appear there, making this information valuable.
Very valuable.
Yang Yi decided to deliver this intelligence to Black Devil; since he’s established contact with Tartar, the information could be transmitted directly in the simplest way.
Anton would pass this information to Tartar. He got up and left Yang Yi’s room, and after Anton left, Yang Yi softly said, “I need to call Aaron, um, I must make the call now.”
Yang Yi dialed Aaron, and this ti it was a video call.
Once connected, Yang Yi pointed the cara at the item on the table and softly said, “Sir…”
Before Yang Yi could finish, Aaron was already breathing heavily and said in a low, urgent voice, “My God! You actually got it!”
“Yes, a bit…”
Aaron couldn’t wait and urgently interrupted Yang Yi, sternly saying, “Now, take this item and return imdiately! I’ll have soone et you in Baghdad, right now, at once!”
Yang Yi froze for a mont, knowing Aaron would be anxious, but not expecting such urgency.
There’s no need for more words, the mission or whatever isn’t a priority now, so Yang Yi wisely didn’t ask about handling the mission.
Besides, Aaron seed uninterested in how Yang Yi obtained the item; all he wanted was to get it into his hands as soon as possible.
“Yes, sir, but there are so issues, please let finish.”
Aaron, extrely tense, said, “What issues?”
Yang Yi lowered his voice, “There’s soone competing with , an antique dealer nad Victor Jean Pierre. He’s willing to offer a million US Dollars to acquire this item. He is here to compete, and if not for my identity and the Shah Intelligence Agency stepping in, he would stop at nothing to procure it. Now that I have the item, Victor definitely won’t give up easily. I believe he’s with the cleaning crew, yes, that’s what I think.”
Aaron fell silent for a mont, then softly said, “The cleaning crew, them again, damn it, they’re the only ones who’d snatch this item. What’s your situation over there?”
Aaron, unusually tense, asked, and Yang Yi replied in a low voice, “I can withdraw at any mont. This is Mosul; even if the cleaning crew wants to ambush , they don’t have a lot of manpower.”
Yang Yi actually didn’t want to leave imdiately, for two reasons.
The cleaning crew will certainly attempt to snatch it, but they absolutely won’t succeed. That’s the first.
If Yang Yi leaves now, the eting with Baghdadi the day after tomorrow will certainly be canceled. If that happens, the hard-earned intelligence will beco void. That’s the second.
Having gained an unbeatable position, Yang Yi naturally wants more. He not only plans to work with the cleaning crew to deliver the item to Aaron but also to deal with Baghdadi.
Aaron thought for a mont, then still softly said, “You’re temporarily safer in Mosul, but keeping this item there is a risk.”
Aaron was also struggling, trying to decide whether to keep Yang Yi in Mosul and send many people to assist him, or to have Yang Yi leave imdiately with the item.
But he didn’t hesitate for long; Aaron made up his mind and said grimly, “The longer you wait, the more dangerous it gets. Leave Mosul now!”
