Chapter 1196 - 1201: Must Be Genuine
"Four people, not bad in terms of skill."
After Yang Yi finished speaking, he pointed to the car labeled C514 and said, "Just follow his car. Stay far behind so we can observe from a distance. Where’s Bonnie?"
"She’s already disengaged for now. It seems like she’s fine. We’ve confirmed three cars are assigned to protect Gong Yang, but there could be more than just these three."
Yang Yi let out a breath and said, "The Cleaners know Gong Yang’s plans and movements. They can make very thorough arrangements. But there’s one thing I’m worried about."
Yang Yi exchanged a glance with Anton. Anton spoke in a low voice, "You’re worried that the Cleaners might deliberately create a situation where we’re forced into a conflict with the Grey-cloaked People. To achieve the best outcome, they would do something like that."
"Exactly. That’s what I’m concerned about. To gain the trust of the Grey-cloaked People, sacrifices have to be made. I believe there’s a division of responsibilities within the Cleaners, but I don’t trust that such a significant operation would be left entirely in our hands, without any backup plans from their side."
Yang Yi had every reason to worry. Indeed, the Cleaners might be willing to take losses. But to make the Grey-cloaked People believe Yang Yi had genuinely turned against them, the sacrifices they made would only enhance his credibility.
Anton mulled it over for a while before speaking softly, "Your safety won’t be an issue."
Of course, Yang Yi’s safety wasn’t a concern, because the Cleaners still needed him. But apart from Yang Yi, everyone else in the Organization of Water was in danger—especially Anton, Xiao Ran, and Bonnie.
They had to be cautious, extremely cautious.
The Cleaners might even entertain the idea of making Yang Yi suffer a significant loss, because doing so worked in their favor. At this point, there was no turning back for either Yang Yi or the Cleaners. Thus, the Cleaners wouldn’t worry that Yang Yi, having suffered losses or seeing others die, would genuinely ally with the Grey-cloaked People, rendering their investments and plans worthless.
