Chapter 1018 - 1023: Informant
Subconsciously, Yang Yi thought about asking Tang Guo and Schultz to investigate Petra, but it only took a moment for him to realize.
Now that he was with the CIA, why bother using his own people to investigate?
The CIA’s network surveillance capabilities are among the strongest in the world, looking up a girl would be a matter of minutes.
But should he investigate through the Security Department’s channel or the Operations Department’s channel? Although eventually, it would be the Info Center in the Intelligence Department providing the intelligence, the department used to access the information still made a difference.
He had just transferred to the Operations Department, where his identity and function arrangement were still a blank slate, so he might as well wait and see.
The investigation on Petra was temporarily suspended, meanwhile, Yang Yi wondered why Aaron was sabotaging Petra’s engagement to Carlson.
If Aaron wasn’t just meddling without a reason, there had to be a rationale behind his efforts to prevent the marriage between these two wealthy families; a banker’s daughter and a scion of an old industry consortium, such a marriage without doubt presented a mutual benefit between the old and new wealth.
The Medron Consortium still remained one of the top super-consortiums in the United States, but its strength wasn’t what it used to be, especially in recent years where finances had become extremely tight. Gaining the support from a bank would immensely benefit the Medron Consortium, but nevertheless, a dromedary stands taller than a horse, and a union between these two families could only be seen as a powerful alliance, ultimately Petra was marrying up.
There’s nothing unusual about the marriage between the two wealthy families, but the real reason Aaron wanted to prevent it was known only to him, and regardless, Aaron wouldn’t have given Yang Yi such a peculiar and challenging task just to test him.
Should he inform the cleaner about this mission?
After giving it some thought, Yang Yi decided not to mention it for now. He could wait until the cleaner’s men contacted him, but it wasn’t necessary to arrange for a meeting under the still unstable circumstances just to inform the cleaner about this affair, it wasn’t worth the risk.
