Chapter 1027: Chapter 1032: Give Up

"Set the frequency of our conversation, hmm, this is a GPS locator, you can track my location, oh, military-grade high precision GPS signal, accuracy to meters."

Yang Yi brought many gadgets, each being handed to Anton one by one.

Anton picked up a locator that could be hidden on the body, only the size of a rice grain, examined it for a moment, then frowned and said, "I wonder, how such a small device can integrate the signal transmission function? How powerful is the signal transmission? How does it ensure a good signal when I am far away from you?"

"Don’t ask me, I don’t know either, these are all for you, do you need a gun?"

Anton shook his head and said, "I can handle guns myself; in the United States, a spy who can’t find a gun should be humanely destroyed. What’s this?"

"Uh, what I see, but it lets you see in real time, I took out three sets of these things and left two sets for our own use."

Anton was astonished and exclaimed: "It’s actually contact lenses!"

Yang Yi helplessly said, "Yes, contact lenses, more advanced than the ones we used before."

Anton muttered to himself: "Americans really are willing to spend money on this..."

Just then Yang Yi’s phone rang, he made a gesture to keep quiet and answered the call, then listened to Reggie excitedly saying, "Boss, we got intelligence that tonight, Petra will attend a charity gala where there will be a charity auction, initiated by the banking sector on Wall Street. All attendees are from the financial sector, and the money raised from the auction will be donated. Petra will definitely attend."

"Tonight? Are you sure?"

"Very sure, Ferguson overheard Petra’s phone call; she will attend at exactly 7:30 PM. But this charity gala strictly requires an invitation, so Ferguson asked me whether he should continue surveillance or get an invitation card."

"We act tonight, get me an invitation card, stop surveillance."

After hanging up, Yang Yi smiled at Anton, "It’s convenient to have a capable subordinate, but what’s even more convenient is having the backing of the CIA, you know, I now truly appreciate the joy of delegating tasks."

Anton glanced at Yang Yi and said, "Are you implying that the people from the Organization of Water can’t let you enjoy being the boss?"

"That’s not what I meant, you’re reading too much into it."

Yang Yi stood up and said, "I need to return to the hotel, you’d better stay somewhere close to me."

After separating from Anton, Yang Yi went straight back to the hotel and waited for about an hour before Ferguson and Reggie returned.

"Tonight’s banquet is not very large, about a hundred people, but it’s high-standard, and the invitation is real-named. I can make an invitation card, but I don’t know what name and identity you want to use to attend the dinner, so I need to come back and ask."

Ferguson was cautious, because getting close to Petra is easy, but to consistently appear before her requires a suitable identity, it’s not something that can be settled in one go, naturally, one cannot just make up any name and identity.

But the problem is, Yang Yi really didn’t know what guise to use in front of Petra.

Yang Yi pondered for a moment and asked, "Is the banquet attended only by people from the banking sector?"

"Yes, it’s a networking event within the financial sector, using charity as a pretext, casually auctioning off a few hundred thousand US Dollars for the public to see, but the main purpose is still to facilitate their networking. Since Petra is attending with her father, it’s not just a hedonistic party."

Yang Yi was stunned for a moment, and said, "What? A party?"

Ferguson shrugged and said, "Yes, don’t you know? If it’s a banquet only attended by men, without their wives or children, and only a few people get invited, don’t you know what could happen at such gatherings?"

Yang Yi suddenly realized, "Oh, a bacchanal, those wealthy people’s..."

Yang Yi didn’t finish, because he suddenly remembered he was also a wealthy person.

"Let it go, abandon tonight’s gala, no need to prepare the invitation, I won’t attend."

Ferguson frowned and said, "Is it because you aren’t ready with a suitable identity?"

"Yes, I don’t want to appear as someone from the banking or financial sector, so let’s give up on tonight’s event."

Ferguson had no objections, because he knew how important it was to appear with a suitable identity, and since the timing wasn’t right, giving up was naturally the best choice.

Yang Yi frowned and said, "In New York, high-profile gatherings can’t be too few, is there any other gathering Petra might attend? Please help me check."

Ferguson sighed lightly and said, "I really wish you had brought more people for this mission."

Half helplessly and half complainingly, Ferguson chuckled and said, "Could you ask a colleague for help? Using only us to investigate is too time-consuming."

"I’m sorry, but no, this mission is highly confidential. More people handling it means a greater chance of exposure, so even internal help is not an option."

Making Ferguson work alone, Yang Yi felt no psychological pressure, but inefficiency was inevitable. After a moment of thought, Yang Yi made up his mind.

"We’ll pass this time, you two continue to monitor Petra, I will handle other matters."

Ferguson was somewhat puzzled, he looked at Yang Yi with a questioning gaze, but he knew what he shouldn’t ask, so he immediately said, "Yes, I’ll continue the surveillance."

What Ferguson thought did not concern Yang Yi; Reggie was now happy to carry on with the surveillance task.

Yang Yi’s plan was to ask the janitor to do him a small favor, it would be a real waste not to use this kind of resource.

It was time to communicate with the janitor. In Yang Yi’s plan, the janitor was a crucial link, and to get the maximum support from the janitor, or even for the janitor to make great sacrifices to help him, he needed to demonstrate his own value and let the janitor know about his progress.

After sending Ferguson away, contacting the janitor directly wasn’t feasible; to establish contact with the janitor would really need extreme caution, the most important aspect was that even if someone was tracking Yang Yi, the contact with the janitor must not show any flaws.

So, would contacting the janitor be complicated? Not necessarily, Yang Yi had a very simple method, which was through the Organization of Water.

If Yang Yi’s contact with the janitor were discovered by Aaron now, the consequences wouldn’t be good, but if it’s with the Organization of Water, that’s perfectly justified, isn’t it? So, he just needed to let Xiao Ran pass his message along, and everything would be settled.
