Chapter 616 - 624: Time Flies
Yang Yi, when he wanted to sell information, couldn’t find a buyer, but now that Justin wanted to buy, he wasn’t planning to sell anymore.
Water has no constant shape, soldiers no constant formation; the situation is always changing. Just yesterday, Yang Yi had considered helping Jethro eliminate Ferdinand in secret, but now Jethro had gained the upper hand.
Yesterday, Yang Yi had thought about preventing Jethro from luring General Hagel out to kill him, but now, he knew that Jethro had no intention of killing Hagel and had even reached a tacit agreement with Ferdinand not to do so.
So why should Yang Yi bring out yesterday’s intelligence? If he sold the information about Jethro and Ferdinand planning to kill Hagel to Justin, not to mention that the information might be outdated and potentially false, even if Justin could never find out, but if Justin passed the information to Big Ivan, who then decided that Hagel should strike first and eliminate Ferdinand and Jethro, then the Organization of Water would be in danger.
Big Ivan surely wanted to uproot Deyo’s influence in Ukraine totally, and Big Ivan would certainly not treat the Organization of Water any differently when it came time to act. Therefore, Yang Yi needed to keep some secrets from Jethro to avoid being involved when Big Ivan made his move.
It was a shame that Yang Yi hoped to eliminate Deyo; otherwise, he could have sold the intelligence to both sides. For instance, the information just revealed by Justin was worth a lot of money.
But then again, if Justin hadn’t known that Yang Yi was bent on taking down Deyo, he wouldn’t have shared such sensitive information that could lead to a breach of security. As an intelligence dealer, if he didn’t know what not to say, he would have been long dead.
Putting Justin’s issue aside for the moment, Yang Yi hurriedly made his way to his former residence – there were still things to be taken care of, like finding a place for Tuya.
Seeing McDonald Quinn, Yang Yi approached with a careful smile and said, "Mr. Quinn, there’s something I need to trouble you with."
