Chapter 1475: Chapter 1470: Old Classmate
Yang Yi got into the car, slamd the door shut, and Tong Liang imdiately sped off.
This was the first ti Yang Yi had seen a classmate since graduation.
Yes, Tong Liang was Yang Yi’s classmate, in the sa class.
He never expected to see an old classmate under these circumstances.
eting an old friend in a foreign land, it’s like a reunion before death.
As Tong Liang drove rapidly ahead, he couldn’t help but ask, “What are you doing here?”
Yang Yi responded urgently, “What are you doing here!”
“Is it not obvious? They were recruiting during graduation, I got in! What about you?”
“I was eliminated, so I went solo afterwards.”
Tong Liang sighed and said, “Now’s not the ti to talk about this. Let’s get out of here first. I reckon there won’t be many pursuers left after Ling Jianjun’s car bomb, but whether there’s an ambush ahead is hard to say. If there is, you go, I’ll cover you.”
Yang Yi said softly, “Can’t you escort the thing out?”
Tong Liang shook his head and said, “I don’t have the ans. This is too urgent. Everyone has been mobilized, but what I managed before wasn’t this sort of task. You see, I’m not the right person for this job.”
Yang Yi sighed softly.
Neither of them was in the mood to catch up, as the current situation didn’t allow it.
But the car rushed out of the underground parking lot unimpeded. The Cleaners react quickly and can pursue fast, but they still can’t preemptively block the path, as that requires not only foresight but also enough manpower.
So Tong Liang finally had a chance to speak, he sighed in relief, and with a smile, said, “How many years has it been? Almost ten, right? What have you been up to? Tell what you can.”
Yang Yi smiled too, “Like I said, I went solo. We’re different, I work for myself, have my own business. And you?”
“I’d love to tell you, but discipline doesn’t allow it, you know.”
Tong Liang sighed regretfully and then shifted the conversation, “Let’s talk about ourselves. Are you married?”
“No, I have a girlfriend. Ah, don’t ntion it.”
Tong Liang looked disdainful, “Ha, I bet I got it right, didn’t I? Love troubles?”
“Uh, yes.”
“Damn! I knew it! Back in class, every girl had a thing for you, it still annoys to think about it. Having you in my class was my bad luck.”
“Yeah, I know, but back then I wasn’t really looking for a girlfriend.”
Tong Liang sighed again and then suddenly laughed, “I got married, t her here, got married back ho, none of our classmates ca, only my bunkmate… uh, my wife is pregnant, five months.”
Yang Yi suddenly felt a little uneasy, so he shifted in his seat and said, “Congratulations, but, you…”
Tong Liang continued, “Hey, stop there, maybe I shouldn’t be saying this, but since we’re classmates, I just wanted soone to talk to. I never get the chance, and now I et you, what a damn opportunity this is.”
Tong Liang had a half-laughing, half-crying expression, but Yang Yi felt even more uneasy, he whispered, “Do you know what’s going on?”
“I don’t know, it was too rushed. Who had ti to explain? All I knew was it was extrely urgent with orders to save you at all costs. They said ‘at all costs’ three tis.”
Tong Liang suddenly gave a wry smile, “I never anticipated getting an extrely urgent task, let alone one at all costs. Never imagined, but since it’s here, let’s do it.”
Yang Yi said softly, “Don’t you want to know what’s happening?”
“No.”
Having said no, Tong Liang looked at Yang Yi and said, “I’m not supposed to ask, but can’t you just tell ? Since I’m already… well, you know, if you can say it, say it; if not, forget it.”
Yang Yi whispered, “Two secret organizations, ones that have existed for thousands of years, one called the Cleaners and the other the Grey-cloaked People. They’ve planted nuclear bombs in the United States and Russia and have control of a Russian nuclear submarine. They aim to trigger a nuclear war.”
Tong Liang was visibly startled, “Really? Damn, such a big deal, where did you get such important information? You’re sothing else!”
Tong Liang’s focus seed a bit misplaced.
Yang Yi never dared to reveal his secrets to others, but with Tong Liang, he felt the urge to share.
“I’m a mid-to-high-level CIA officer, an undercover agent for MI5, and I maintain a good relationship with the KGB’s top brass. I’m an undercover agent for both the Cleaners and the Grey-cloaked People. I also run my own intelligence organization called the Organization of Water, which is how I got this information. Now, I’m in your car, you understand.”
Tong Liang was extrely surprised, “Wow, my man, you’re sothing else! You’re doing amazing!”
Yang Yi sighed, he patted the bag in his hand, and said softly, “I’m not finished. The Grey-cloaked People and Cleaners have existed for thousands of years, their secrets relate to aliens, and what I’m holding is an alien artifact. It’s real, so do you get it now?”
Tong Liang’s breathing was rapid. He nodded and said, “I understand now, Yang Yi! You’ve achieved sothing big! You’ve done it!”
After Tong Liang vehently said a couple of sentences, he looked at Yang Yi and said, “Now I finally understand why it’s ‘at all costs.’ Yep, it’s worth it!”
Yang Yi said softly, “Find a way to get to the CIA headquarters. I can’t stay here anymore, co back with .”
Tong Liang laughed, then said softly, “Let tell you the plan. First, I’ll take you to a place where your double is. Once we et, I’ll take the double and soone else will escort you away.”
“Why won’t you take away, and instead, we have to switch?”
Tong Liang was silent for a mont, then waved his hand and said, “He’s better suited for the task of escorting you. He’s a professional; I’m not. Everyone has roles and responsibilities they’re suited for. I had to be sent to protect you. They know I’m not ideal, but there was no choice, I was the only one close enough, so here I am.”
Yang Yi said solemnly, “I’ll handle the arrangents. You do as I say.”
Tong Liang smiled, then suddenly said, “Let’s listen to a song, have you heard this one?”
Yang Yi said softly, “Don’t change the subject, now’s not the ti for music. Things don’t have to be this complicated.”
The music started playing, Tong Liang began selecting his favorite song, Yang Yi reached out and turned the stereo off, then said seriously, “Listen to , you really don’t have to…”
Tong Liang turned the stereo back on, then laughed and said, “Fine, fine, but music doesn’t stop you from talking. Relax a bit.”
