Chapter 533: I love you
From what Yang Yi had encountered with the Grey-cloaked People so far, they didn’t seem too impressive: slow to react, powerless to respond, led by the nose by cleaners, even having Gold snatched right from their stronghold.
Were the Grey-cloaked People truly this inept? Yang Yi found it very puzzling.
Normally, the Grey-cloaked People should realize that their movements had been leaked, and they would start to self-investigate where the problem lay. Subsequently, Justin would inevitably become a suspect, considering it was the Grey-cloaked People who had approached Justin for the sale. What would follow? Would the Grey-cloaked People trouble Justin, and in turn, would Justin suspect the Organization of Water? Moreover, would the Grey-cloaked People commence internal vetting of all those involved?
Setting Justin aside for the moment, just considering the consequence of the Grey-cloaked People’s internal investigation—if they found out that it was Lloyd whom the cleaners had targeted—then the Anderson Research Association would certainly take preventative measures. This was what Elvin worried about, that the Anderson Research Association would soon vanish, not the shell of the association itself but the core secrets related to the Grey-cloaked People.
So, to find something valuable from the Grey-cloaked People, speed was crucial; they needed to discover something before the Grey-cloaked People reacted.
After pondering for a moment, Yang Yi said in a deep voice, "This operation puts us at great risk of exposure. I want to know what measures the cleaners will take to deal with this."
Concerning his own safety, Yang Yi had to ask for clarity.
Elvin answered gravely, "We will take steps to protect your safety, but here lies the problem, to cast doubt on the Grey-cloaked People, we must start with Lloyd, creating the illusion that Lloyd’s identity had long been exposed and that he has been under our surveillance. However, if we do this, the Grey-cloaked People will understand that the Anderson Research Association has been compromised."
Yang Yi replied calmly, "Using Lloyd to cover for us?"
