Chapter 1023: Chapter 1028: Wild at Heart

No wonder Ferguson was so cooperative, it turns out he was aware of his situation and wanted to get rid of Yang Yi, so he had to obediently follow instructions first.

Yang Yi was impressed, wondering why he always encountered smart people, those who reluctantly obey but intentionally act difficult are really impossible to find.

There was no way around it, no fool could succeed, that was the mainstream reality.

Since Ferguson understood his situation and showed a willingness to talk and compromise, using cooperation in exchange for freedom after the mission’s completion, what else could Yang Yi say?

"Alright, you help me successfully complete this mission, and if you want to leave afterward, I will speak on your behalf."

Ferguson’s spirits lifted, and he loudly declared, "Deal!"

Yang Yi fetched a computer and plugged Aaron’s USB drive into it.

The device looked like a USB drive but was more complex in appearance, mainly due to its identity recognition feature. Unlike in movies where blood tests are required, it indeed needed a fingerprint to access the contents of the drive.

Waiting for the database to open, Ferguson leaned in and asked, "Petra’s information?"

"Yes, we need to carefully examine it."

Yang Yi read quickly, focusing only on the parts he found useful, but intelligence analysis couldn’t be rushed.

Searching, discovering, summarizing—completing all these steps takes time, even with many hands helping.

They started the important task at hand, Ferguson and Yang Yi focused without any small talk, after viewing for over two hours, Yang Yi finally said, "A seemingly normal rich girl, a future business elite, but did you notice, this woman has an unusual interest in astronomy."

Ferguson whispered, "Yes, her online shopping records show two purchases of relevant materials, and both are the latest, indicating that she has a very thorough collection of literature. She doesn’t need to buy classic works, only the newest books suffice."

Yang Yi smiled, "Her favorite writer is Jules Verne."

Ferguson was momentarily puzzled, "Who is Jules Verne?"

"A French science fiction author from the nineteenth century."

Ferguson looked confused, "Nineteenth century? A science fiction author from the nineteenth century?"

"Don’t you know him? Then you must know his works, ’Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea’, ’The Mysterious Island’—have you seen them?"

Ferguson suddenly realized, "I haven’t read the books, but I’ve seen the movies. Considering what a nineteenth-century person could comprehend, this author really was incredible."

Yang Yi took a deep breath, "Her favorite author is Jules Verne, what does this imply? It indicates that Petra has a spirit of adventure because Verne’s works are truly filled with romantic adventures. Petra likes studying the universe, and she also likes Jules Verne. Could it be assumed that she’s an inwardly wild girl? As there’s little left to explore on Earth, she turned her sights to space. However, reality is she studied finance and business because her father is a banker."

Ferguson chuckled, "It’s normal, how many people can turn their hobbies into their careers?"

Yang Yi calmly said, "I think we can start from this angle."

Ferguson suddenly looked enlightened, "You plan to personally seduce Petra."

"Can’t you phrase that more nicely..."

Ferguson stood up suddenly, "Wait, actually I have a simpler method."

Yang Yi curiously watched as Ferguson took a small box out of a pile of boxes.

He placed the box in front of Yang Yi and opened it, revealing two small bottles resembling perfume.

"What is this?"

"Perfume, one for men, one for women."

Ferguson picked up a bottle, smiling, "Didn’t you know?"

"No."

Ferguson placed the perfume bottle in front of Yang Yi, saying sleazily, "This is a major breakthrough by the CIA. If you spray this perfume, it will make women want to sleep with you, truly, very effective."

Yang Yi’s mouth twitched, "Nice stuff..."

"While it’s just an auxiliary, it’s very effective. Of course, if a woman isn’t interested in you, this scent will make her seek the man she likes. So it serves only an auxiliary role."

"Sounds like it has a very narrow range of use."

Ferguson nodded, "It can significantly increase the probability of success, but that’s not the main point. Listen, this scent acts as a gene-based inducer. If you can get a small DNA sample from Petra, even just a strand of hair, bring it back, and create a perfume based on Petra’s genes..."

Ferguson smiled sleazily, looking triumphant, "So why bother with so much trouble? If she feels an affinity for you, coupled with some proper inducement and the right setting, she can lose control completely. I already have a plan. It’s very easy to get a hair sample from her, create an opportunity to be alone with her, and after making her utterly infatuated, find a public venue with cameras to stage a completely accidental sighting. Then, well... haha, once everything is set, I can’t believe Carlson would still marry her after seeing his fiancée on the news."

Yang Yi put the perfume back, and with a stunned expression said, "This is your plan?"

"Yes, don’t you think it’s the simplest way?"

Yang Yi said irritably, "It’s simple for you, but how do I wrap this up?"

"Uh, you don’t have to personally do it. I’m very willing to replace you in bed with Petra. I don’t mind."

"You don’t mind your face appearing in the news? Then being recognized as a CIA agent?"

"I definitely have a way to hide my face."

Yang Yi waved his hand, "No need to discuss further, your plan won’t work."

"Why? Do you have a moral objection?"

Yang Yi said gruffly, "The person who assigned us this task wouldn’t allow us to act this way, don’t you understand what the phrase ’CIA must not be involved’ means?"

Ferguson sheepishly said, "I didn’t know, no one told me there were such restrictions, I was just instructed to listen to you, you’re right, this plan is indeed too aggressive, it would be easily exposed by anyone investigating."

Yang Yi scratched his head in frustration, "Who can tell me what to do? How to make Petra or Carlson realize they are not the best match for each other, to give up on the engagement voluntarily, without alerting anyone, without creating any news."

Ferguson sheepishly said, "This engagement is already a secret, I’ve checked, almost no one knows about this engagement except for a very few people."

Yang Yi gestured dismissively, "Let’s continue analyzing Petra’s character, we need to act quickly, at least... let’s start by keeping Petra under surveillance, and slowly look for opportunities. We still have some time."
