773: Chapter 778: The Debt of Gratitude 773: Chapter 778: The Debt of Gratitude Yang Yi handed the docunt to Brian, then he said lightly, “Take a look at this information first.”
Brian took the docunt, quickly finished reading it, and then said in a deep voice, “Aaron’s position is very important.
Even though the Soviet Union has collapsed, the KGB is still around, and Russia won’t let go of a mole as important as Aaron.
Regardless of whether Aaron is willing, he still has to continue dealing with the Russians.”
Yang Yi nodded, then he smiled and said, “Yes, I think so too, but is it possible for the Russians to sacrifice a mole as important as Aaron?”
Brian shook his head and replied, “Of course not.
I can be certain that with Aaron’s current status, even if the Russian KGB is still in contact with him, only a few of the highest-ranked individuals would know, so we can’t expect any help from the Russians.
Under normal circumstances, the Russians will also beco our enemies in order to protect Aaron.”
Yang Yi said in a serious tone, “Yarebin is like a treasure trove; he’s filled with too many secrets.
I feel that the breakthrough still lies with Yarebin.
I need to et him as soon as possible, but before I do, we should send him a gift, to be precise, a gift for Gong Yang.”
Brian slapped his head and said, “Right, exactly, it’s ti to give Gong Yang Deyo’s address.”
No sooner said than done, Brian imdiately took out his cell phone, then said with a hint of pride, “We’ll do Gong Yang a favor and at the sa ti get him to help us take out Deyo, ha, can you think of a better outco than that?”
If it was coincidence, there couldn’t be a more coincidental mont than now; just as Brian had taken out his cell phone, it rang.
After Brian answered, his face was initially filled with surprise, but soon he started to laugh.
Brian turned on the speakerphone, and Gong Yang’s voice quickly ca through.
“Hello Brian, I thought there would be no chance to use your people, but life is unpredictable, and now I need you to repay .
Have your n find soone called Jefferson, an arms dealer!
An insignificant rookie!
He stole sothing of mine, and I need your people to find him, capture him!
Then bring him to Odessa, and hand him over to my n.”
The cannon stolen by Jefferson.
Yang Yi felt a guilty conscience, he was very, very worried that Gong Yang would say next, “You bastards, give back my cannon.”
But Brian was laughing happily, and he couldn’t help blurting out, “I really thought you wouldn’t need my people.
Alright, Jefferson, are there any distinguishing features?
Also, I’m curious, what did you lose?”
Gong Yang’s tone sounded extrely angry, very, very angry.
“He stole 36 of my cannons!
I hope you can help get them back!”
Brian laughed out loud, then he swallowed hard and said, “This guy has so nerve.
Alright, I got it.
I’ll help you find Jefferson, but I won’t do it myself.
I’m off to Moscow, kid.
I’m retired.
I quit.”
“Your n won’t be a problem, right?
I an, you’re retired now, is it okay for them to still work for you for free?”
“Of course, I was very particular about choosing them.
Before they t , they were all uncouth paupers, trash, waste!
It was I who gave them everything, it was I who taught them everything.
Now it’s ti for them to repay .
Besides, let add, the people I chose are the kind that know gratitude, ha-ha.”
While Brian was saying this very seriously, the laughter could not be contained in his eyes as he looked at Yang Yi.
Gong Yang sounded sowhat helpless as he said, “It was supposed to be a favor out of loyalty, but the way you put it makes it sound so awkward.
Alright, as long as you’re sure, don’t ss up my business.”
“Relax, I won’t ss up your business.
Once I’ve done this for you, the debt I owe you is wiped clean, little brother, and from then on, we’re even!”
Gong Yang replied anxiously, “No, no, my friend, you still haven’t told how to find Deyo.”
“Oh, that.
Of course, I will tell you, but it’s complicated, and it’d be a waste of ti to explain now.
You’ll have to wait until I get to Moscow before I can tell you.
I’m driving right now and it’s not convenient to talk, so let’s leave it at that, goodbye.”
Brian hung up the phone and at first couldn’t help but laugh a couple of tis, but when he noticed many people glaring at him, Brian quickly stifled his laughter—it was indeed inappropriate to laugh out loud in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
Brian sighed, then said to Yang Yi, “Did you hear that?”
Yang Yi responded uneasily, “Of course I heard it.
Gong Yang is looking for the lost cannon.
Okay, this call is important.
First, we’ve confird that Gong Yang has taken over Big Ivan’s forces, and then he’s looking for the cannon we stole.
Honestly, I don’t know why you laughed.”
Brian looked surprised, “Didn’t you catch the important part of what I said?
I said the favor I owed him is canceled out.
Co on, we were supposed to tell him Deyo’s address in return, but you do know how important that piece of information is, especially after Gong Yang has assud Big Ivan’s position.
Now, since I’ve repaid his favor, we can use that information to create greater value, understand?”
Yang Yi sighed softly, “I think Gong Yang is a decent person, and doing this makes feel a bit guilty.
Also, don’t we want Deyo taken care of sooner rather than later?
Why not just give Gong Yang the information, rather than keep it from him?”
Brian shook his head, “We will give it to him for sure, but as I said, we need to create more value.
Giving it to him now would be paying off a favor, but if we delay and then give it to him, it will beco him owing us a favor.
As for Jefferson…”
Brian shrugged, “Just delay it for a few days.
Telling him the cannon’s true location should do, but we can’t reveal it too quickly—it wouldn’t seem realistic.”
Annastasia had been listening quietly all along, and suddenly she said, “Sounds like you guys are pretty busy now?”
Brian quickly nodded, “That’s right, as an intelligence organization, we are indeed very busy.
We have too many tasks on our hands lately.”
Yang Yi agreed, “Yeah, there’s a lot to do, but the most important thing right now is to see Yarebin.
Um, Brian, and…
how should I address you?”
Annastasia smiled, “I like polite young n.
Just call by my na.”
Yang Yi nodded, “Okay, Brian, could I ask you two to go to Germany first to set up a place for us?
We need to establish many safe houses right now, and I think this task can only be handled by you two.”
Brian was taken aback, but Annastasia smiled and said, “Is this so kind of quarantine evaluation period?
Alright, I understand your approach, so let’s just leave it at that.”
Although that was indeed the case, it wasn’t good to say it outright, so he smiled sincerely, “What quarantine evaluation period?
We don’t have that.
I just wanted to give you two so more alone ti, otherwise, I think Brian might kill , haha.”
