Chapter 144 - 143 Rejection
Back in his own cell, Yang Yi thought long and hard, and it was during exercise that he pondered. He had grown to like working out his body and mind simultaneously.
In the special security area, two people of great importance to Yang Yi were detained: one was the beast Wayne, who had to be taken out, and the other was Brian, who had to be rescued.
But Brian’s situation was not promising, and the difficulty of rescuing him was immense.
Brian had been incarcerated for many years, and now that the Soviet Union had dissolved, his importance was far less than when he first entered prison. Yet, having once been the CIA’s Middle East operations chief, his status and role were significant, so he remained the special security prisoner who garnered the most attention.
Brian’s defection was a significant victory for the KGB, as he was one of the highest-ranking turncoats within the CIA. During the period of US-Soviet rivalry, in the tremendously crucial Middle East, Brian’s betrayal severely damaged the CIA’s intelligence network there.
Had the Soviet Union not disintegrated so soon, and the KGB not already been in its twilight years when Brian defected, he could have been catastrophic to the CIA’s operations in the Middle East.
Therefore, the more significant Brian’s former position, the greater the damage he inflicted, the stricter the custody he was under.
The fact that Brian was still alive was miraculous in itself. If the CIA wasn’t hoping to extract more valuable information from him, his death would have been certain.
Brian hadn’t died, and he had survived the sunless years in prison, yet he remained the most strictly supervised individual in the special security area, without equal.
Everyone knew that although Brian was old, given the chance, he would surely escape. He still posed the greatest danger, so even if the scrutiny he was under had relaxed countless times compared to before, it was still the strictest.
