Chapter 1292 - 1297 Businessman
Actually, Yang Yi hadn’t planned to take Reggie’s call, so when he saw Reggie pulling out his phone, he first stopped walking and then gave Reggie a strange look for a moment.
Reggie felt uneasy under the gaze, and Yang Yi finally spoke.
"It’s not that I don’t trust you by not letting you contact the outside world; if I had even a slight mistrust of you, you’d already be dead."
Yang Yi patted Reggie’s shoulder helplessly, saying with a deep expression, "People like us, what are we most afraid of? Not the strength of our enemies, but being betrayed by our own. If I really thought you were unreliable, even if it was just a little suspicion during such an important mission, I would still kill you. And once we returned, even if you were innocent, it would just be a sacrifice for the country, and I wouldn’t face any punishment."
Reggie whispered, "Isn’t that wrong...?"
"Between the mission and you, what do you think I would choose?"
Yang Yi smiled, and Brian whispered beside him, "This isn’t the time for a lesson. You’ll have plenty of time to let a newbie know what the harsh reality is, but right now, we’d better hurry up."
Yang Yi patted Reggie’s shoulder again, saying, "Keep moving, put the phone away. Unless it’s an absolute emergency, don’t call or contact anyone."
Reggie sped up his pace a bit, staying beside Yang Yi, whispering, "Then, what qualifies as an absolute emergency?"
"If I’m dead. As long as I’m alive, you can’t call anyone."
