Chapter 222 - 221 Cooperation
An invitation and a plea, these two words have entirely different meanings.
Yang Yi noticed that Elvin’s choice of words was very subtle.
"I have always been keeping an eye on you, but after your father died, your mother was almost killed at the same time, and then you disappeared very quickly. I knew someone had protected you, I was aware of all this."
Elvin pointed at Yang Yi and said in a deep voice, "That intelligence has become important to us again. Without any reliable means to obtain its content, even after such a long time, I thought of you and decided to make contact."
"Why seek me out? Do you think I might know the content of that intelligence?"
"Yes, no one had high expectations of you, but after all other avenues were cut off, you were the only one left who offered a glimmer of hope, so this was merely a desperate attempt."
Elvin’s message was clear; Yang Yi was like a straw grasped by cleaners in desperation, not a lifesaving one but something tossed into the water on a whim, hoping for a big fish, even though they were fishing in a clear puddle with no expectation of any fish.
Therefore, Yang Yi’s status wasn’t so important; at least he wasn’t someone the cleaners were eager to enlist or eliminate.
His unimportant status actually relieved Yang Yi, because being of special importance to the cleaners at this time might not have been a good thing.
