Chapter 1478: Chapter 1473: To the Left, Straight Ahead
The situation was improving, and it was rapidly improving, because Li Fan’s arranged people were gradually getting into position. As Yang Yi received more and stronger reinforcents, of course, his environnt would improve.
Tong Liang died, he died before dawn.
Just a little bit, just a little bit. Less than five hundred ters in distance, less than two minutes in ti.
But it was this little bit that was missing.
Why did Old Hu have to die? Because he was the closest one to Yang Yi, Yang Yi could only turn to him, and he could only… spare no cost.
The second to die was Ling Jianjun. He was Old Hu’s superior. What he could do was to secure a little more ti for Yang Yi, a little more ti for his comrades, so he too spared no cost.
The third to die was Tong Liang. He knew that following the plan would lead to death, but he had no choice, because he needed to buy Yang Yi ti, so he had to spare no cost.
What is the cost?
Old Hu is, Ling Jianjun is, Tong Liang is, and the decoy Yang Yi did not even know the na of, as well as those who left with the decoy, they themselves are the cost of sparing no expense.
What is a hero?
They are.
It’s just that they can only be unsung heroes.
So what is the significance of the cost?
To exchange life for ti, exchange ti for space.
Old Hu and the others sacrificed one after another, securing ti for Yang Yi. With ti, more reinforcents could arrive until enough to complete the mission; that’s what matters.
What is national fate?
Yang Yi is national fate, Old Hu, Ling Jianjun, and Tong Liang are national fate, and the decoy whose na Yang Yi doesn’t know is national fate.
A country with those willing to sacrifice has national fate.
National fate is those willing to sacrifice for the nation.
Now Yang Yi knows, the national fate rests with , unstoppable, because he is the witness, surviving is the best testimony.
Yes, Yang Yi will certainly survive, because he has already left the New York city limits.
The car was traveling on the highway, heading towards Washington D.C.
Even if the janitor had greater energy, at this mont, there was nothing they could do because a conspiracy is just a conspiracy, unable to exist under the sun.
Maintaining silence throughout the journey, Li Tong did not contact anyone, which was what Yang Yi could see, but what Yang Yi couldn’t see was the tremors across the entire East Coast of the United States.
The tremors in the intelligence community.
The information that Yang Yi disseminated began to fernt, so the situation continued to improve, and what Yang Yi needed to do was handle the specific details at the CIA headquarters, because the circulated information still remained in the rumor stage and needed him to provide evidence. But no matter what, the Arican side must respond.
When a nation’s powerful departnts mobilize entirely, then the janitors and Grey-cloaked People, rats hiding in the gutters, must hide away; otherwise, the more they expose themselves, the quicker they perish.
As the car approached the Washington tro area, Li Tong suddenly turned to Yang Yi and said, “We can transfer the enlightennt now, a team is already on standby, and another team is waiting to escort you. From now on, I can declare that you are safe.”
That was good news, but Yang Yi frowned and said, “A team waiting to escort ? How many people?”
“Ten!”
Li Tong’s tone was proud, he took a breath, then smiled, “Including .”
Yang Yi whispered, “Take the item, but escorting is unnecessary. I don’t need you to escort anymore.”
“No, absolutely not. You’re a key protection target; actually, you’re more important than this enlightennt, truly.”
Yang Yi said in a grave voice, “Enough people have died today, enough people have been exposed already, to protect with ten more people, how long will it take to lay out this network again?”
“It’s worth it! Everything is worth it!”
Li Tong looked resolute, but Yang Yi shook his head, saying “No, you should play a more important role. I know my own value, I’m very aware of my own role, so I obviously won’t let myself die easily.”
Li Tong anxiously said, “No, you’re still far from being completely safe.”
Yang Yi laughed and said, “What I fear most now is being detained by the CIA. As for the janitors and Grey-cloaked People, they’re no longer a threat, and if the CIA wants to detain , you can’t stop it, so let’s expose fewer people. Just take to the place, I’ll handle the rest myself.”
Li Tong said nothing, and Yang Yi said firmly, “If I’m the one in charge of this mission now, then do as I say.”
“Okay.”
Li Tong said nothing more until half an hour later, he suddenly said, “There’s a car ahead waiting for us, just hand your item to the driver.”
Yang Yi frowned and said, “Is it trustworthy?”
Li Tong looked at Yang Yi, hesitated a bit, and said, “I don’t know either, the key is how you interpret this trust. But the higher-ups said you could absolutely trust this person. Other than that, I don’t know either.”
Yang Yi took a breath and said, “It’s not that I’m paranoid, it’s because this item is too important. Do you understand? If I contacted Li Fan earlier, let him prepare in advance, it wouldn’t have cost so much. But I didn’t dare because the situation around was too complex. I couldn’t let anyone know, no one know of our relationship, even my closest ones. Until now, I truly dare not take any risks.”
After Yang Yi finished speaking, Li Tong suddenly said, “Just up ahead, see that car? The license plate matches, look at the people inside. I’ll tell you first, I don’t know who’s taking over either.”
Yang Yi held the bag, ready to open the car window, but his other hand grasped the pistol.
Li Tong stopped the car, two vehicles on a narrow road, at a crossroads waiting for the traffic light, both cars’ windows lowered.
Yang Yi was supposed to hand over the enlightennt, but he really wanted to know who it was that he could absolutely trust. And as the window lowered, he saw an extrely familiar face.
A face that hasn’t been seen for a long ti but often appeared in his dreams to this day.
A woman’s face, which no longer had the appearance in mory, but still made Yang Yi’s heart race instantly.
Even with Yang Yi’s composure, he couldn’t help but call out softly.
“Auntie? Auntie!”
“Yang Yi ah…”
Yang Yi threw the item over, and then both car windows quickly rose.
Imdiately afterwards, Yang Yi pressed his face against the glass window.
Tears streaming down, yet full of smiles, Yang Yi frantically waved through the glass. He saw the other person frantically waving back at him, but no one made a sound again.
The green light was on.
One left, one goes straight.
