Chapter 379 - 367: They’re All Method Actors
Chris left the room, and Gary Keene looked at Yang Yi, who gave a slight nod in response.
Yang Yi knew what had happened, but Chris did not.
Chris had been playing a game of ambiguous words with Gary Keene, acting as a CIA agent, but he was unaware of Yang Yi’s current situation and what Yang Yi had said.
So although Chris had made threats, those threats could have come from the Organization of Water or the CIA. In any case, he needed to make MI5 cautious and not harm Yang Yi.
And for Yang Yi, he needed to establish contact with Chris without being able to directly disclose it, so he chose to say a phrase that seemed like a covert signal. As long as Chris could match his conversation, Yang Yi could claim that phrase was a covert signal, regardless of what Chris actually said.
Why couldn’t Yang Yi just tell Chris everything was fine? Because a double agent would never want their partner to know they had betrayed them, and in order to maintain his image in front of Gary Keene, Yang Yi could not rush to recognize Chris.
All three parties were acting, and each played their part well.
