Chapter 1309 - 1314: Do You Need a Parachute
It was very simple. Yang Yi easily made contact with the person Aaron sent to pick him up. It was so simple there’s nothing more to say.
"Was your journey here smooth?"
Yang Yi shook his head and said, "Not smooth. We encountered an attack, but that’s quite normal, isn’t it."
The person supposed to leave with Yang Yi wasn’t a soldier, but an intelligence officer. In short, this person wasn’t from the CIA, but he was also involved in intelligence work. As for which department he was from, Yang Yi didn’t ask.
These days, the United States has many intelligence agencies. The Department of Homeland Security has "homeland" in its name, but its activities aren’t limited to the US mainland.
The Pentagon also has its own intelligence sources because the Pentagon and the CIA don’t get along.
Foreign intelligence is the CIA’s primary function, but now the CIA is quite the underdog. Still, in the United States, the CIA remains the largest intelligence organization, a situation that won’t change anytime soon.
Then there’s the FBI. On US soil, no one can match the FBI because its authority extends so broadly. Despite being weakened over the decades, the FBI remains the strongest law enforcement unit domestically, and its intelligence capabilities are unmatched. Although officially the FBI doesn’t have an intelligence role, that hasn’t stopped them from sending people abroad.
The person meeting Yang Yi extended his hand proactively. He shook hands with Yang Yi and said seriously, "You can call me Jason."
"Hello, Jason."
"Someone came with you but then left?"
