Chapter 529 - 517 Rejection
Xiao Ran was very surprised.
Yang Yi had gone to negotiate with Terry and had returned with a complete change in attitude. A moment ago he had been a seamless partner; now there was an unmistakable undercurrent of hostility. Although it wasn’t yet openly confrontational, his enmity towards the cleaner was clearly evident.
Xiao Ran looked at Yang Yi with a puzzled expression.
In theory, Xiao Ran’s identity had always been delicate. She was the one chosen by the cleaner to approach Yang Yi, but now she had become part of the Organization of Water. Therefore, Xiao Ran had always been the liaison between Yang Yi and the cleaner, but she could also be seen as a spy that the cleaner had planted within the Organization of Water.
In matters concerning the cleaner, Xiao Ran definitely had a say.
Yang Yi smiled, then walked over to Xiao Ran and whispered so faintly that it was barely audible, "Terry is playing word games with us, so both Brian and I feel... Terry isn’t particularly trustworthy. Nothing has happened yet, but it’s still better to be cautious."
Xiao Ran looked surprised. She paused for a moment before saying incredulously, "Word games?"
"Yes, resolving the issue in the United Kingdom went from one hundred thousand US dollars to one hundred million dollars. Brian doesn’t think it’s worth it, but I’m actually quite tempted."
Yang Yi chuckled bitterly and said in a low voice, "Wait for me a bit, I’ll go and reject Terry’s proposal now."
Xiao Ran reached out her hand, stopping Yang Yi, and said seriously, "Wait! You talk about Terry playing word games; tell me what’s going on."
Yang Yi didn’t want to discuss matters concerning the cleaner there, so he had substituted Terry for the cleaner. However, Xiao Ran surely understood the situation, as Terry was now representing the cleaner.
