Chapter 535 - 514 Huaxinfeng
Plevenov pondered for a long time, then sighed softly and finally stood up. He looked at Yuri and said, "Stay in touch."
Leaving those words behind, Plevenov left the café. As he walked away, his footsteps still seemed heavy but resolute, not like someone being coerced.
Gao Yi glanced at Yuri beside him and said in a low voice, "Care to explain?"
"Explain what? I think it’s already obvious — no need to explain."
"Does this mean he agreed, or that he didn’t agree?"
"Hmm, he half-agreed. He’ll try to protect Alexander like we suggested, but he can’t promise he’ll succeed. In other words, he’s just trying it out, taking it step by step."
Gao Yi picked up a cup of untouched coffee and said, "You mentioned influencing but not deciding — is it really okay to pressure a Deputy Security Director, the future Security Director, this way?"
"It’s not coercion; it’s collaboration. We’re not asking him to do anything; it’s something he has to do. We simply discovered and leveraged the opportunity."
Gao Yi took a sip of coffee and said, "I don’t understand."
To know what you know and admit what you don’t — Gao Yi was gifted in certain areas, but some required careful explanation.
