Chapter 1064: Chapter 1069: A Trivial Matter

If it weren’t for Petra, Yang Yi wouldn’t have stayed to wait for the police or called for an ambulance.

In short, not being able to kill the assassin was an absolute failure for Yang Yi.

But Yang Yi really tried his best. If he couldn’t retain him, he couldn’t retain him. If he couldn’t kill him, he couldn’t kill him. There was nothing he could do.

Petra was crying anxiously, and although Yang Yi didn’t feel the pain, he knew his injuries were troublesome.

He was stabbed twice, neither fatal, but tendons were severed and many nerves were cut.

As a top assassin and knife expert, he was certainly very familiar with human anatomy. When Yang Yi realized he couldn’t inflict fatal injuries on his enemy, his priority was to inflict injuries that would immediately hinder the enemy’s mobility.

Yang Yi’s opponent thought the same. Therefore, they neither killed each other nor could they move swiftly or continue fighting due to their injuries.

Yang Yi reached out and pulled the knife out of his chest.

Fortunately, he was prepared and wore a stab-resistant vest, so the assassin’s throwing knife couldn’t hurt him. It only pierced through his clothes. But Yang Yi really didn’t expect the throwing knife thrown by the assassin to have such a strong force that it penetrated the vest and clung to his body.

His most treasured knife was almost taken by the assassin, thinking about it, he was indeed quite lucky.

Yang Yi casually put the knife back into its sheath, then he reached out his right hand, pressed on Petra’s shoulder and whispered, "It’s okay, don’t be afraid, I won’t die, don’t cry, it’s really okay."

"You’ve lost a lot of blood."

Some diners were fleeing, but some stayed.

To prevent the worst, Yang Yi stood up again, and then he shouted loudly, "If you don’t want to die, then don’t take out your phones to take photos!"

Generally speaking, this kind of warning wouldn’t work, but Yang Yi’s calm yet murderous words made the few remaining people run out quickly.

Yang Yi took out his phone and called Reggie, waiting for Reggie to answer, then he whispered, "I’ve been attacked, waiting for the police to come, ask Ferguson, he will tell you what to do."

He hung up the phone, and Yang Yi then heard the sound of police sirens.

Yang Yi pulled Petra towards him and whispered, "Don’t say anything, you don’t know anything, understand?"

Petra was very panicked, but she nodded and said, "I won’t say anything! But what is really happening, should I call my father..."

"No no no, don’t tell him, I’ll be able to tell you soon what happened, my dear, don’t tell your father, don’t say anything..."

While Yang Yi was instructing Petra, the police had already rushed in.

"Get down, don’t move!"

Standard procedure, police would not first ask who the victim is, they would definitely instruct everyone who could possibly be a threat to get down.

Petra was both angry and anxious, she screamed, "Hurry and save my boyfriend, the attacker has already fled, can’t you see the blood on him?"

A police officer came over to examine Yang Yi’s injury, then he immediately said on the radio, "Someone is injured, call an ambulance, the situation is under control..."

Yang Yi looked towards Petra and whispered, "Darling, go wait outside, wait to take care of me at the hospital, listen to me, go now."

The police turned to Petra and said sternly, "You can’t leave, are you a witness? I’m afraid you’ll have to come with us..."

"Hey, hey, officer, look at me, listen to me."

Yang Yi called out to the speaking officer, he signaled with his eyes for Petra to leave, then he said to the officer in front of him, "Are you the team leader?"

"Yes."

"Good, tell your officers to control everyone in this restaurant. The one who attacked me is a server here, then, first, secure the surveillance footage and wait to hand it over to me, someone will negotiate with you, telling you the next steps, but for now, you need to call your supervisor, get his permission, and control the situation here, not to draw too much attention. So, you need to think of an excuse."

The police officer was initially flabbergasted, then he finally couldn’t help but said, "You don’t need to tell me how to do my job, who do you think you are? I’m not sure if you are a victim, but even if you are, you have no right..."

Yang Yi raised his right hand, then he whispered, "My girlfriend has gone out, now I am going to show you my ID, I felt it might come in handy, so I brought it with me, don’t panic, I’m taking my ID out now."

Yang Yi took out an ID and handed it to the policeman in front of him, then he whispered, "Take a look at it and then call your supervisor, I guess your top commander has already been contacted by now, so report it quickly, hey, are you listening to what I am saying?"

The police officer closed Yang Yi’s ID with a dumbfounded face, then he nodded and said, "Yes sir, I’m listening."

"This is not a fight, nor is it an ordinary attack, this is an assassination targeting a CIA agent, not something you can handle. Okay, someone will negotiate with you, but now, buddy, could you please help to get me to the hospital?"

"The ambulance is almost here, it has arrived, I’ll help you up."

Yang Yi supported himself with the police officer’s help and whispered, "Don’t tell anyone about my identity now, for your own good, you don’t like to be isolated and investigated for a long time, do you? Then listen to me, don’t tell anyone about this, including your colleagues, buddy, really for your own good."

The police officer nodded repeatedly, saying, "Thanks, I’ll remember."

"I know your badge number."

The ambulance arrived, and Yang Yi lay on the stretcher, but just then he instructed the police officer again, "Outside, just say it’s a regular fistfight with knives involved."

Petra was still outside, watched by two policemen, Yang Yi gave her a thumbs-up and smiled, "Don’t worry, come find me at the hospital soon."

Yang Yi was loaded onto the ambulance, but the ambulance didn’t head towards the designated hospital, instead, it headed to New York Special Surgery Hospital as directed by Yang Yi.

For outsiders, this was merely a fistfight with knives, in the United States, a shooting case with no casualties isn’t a big deal, let alone a knife incident.

Reggie arrived, but by the time he reached, Yang Yi was already on the ambulance. After finding out which hospital Yang Yi was being sent to, Reggie immediately followed.

After Reggie left, an unremarkable middle-aged man found the officer in charge of the investigation, showed his credentials, and spoke softly, "This is a matter of national security, please come with me, we need to talk alone."

A person from CIA External Affairs, where Yang Yi had briefly worked before, appeared. With his former colleagues around, Yang Yi had no need to worry about any troubles, especially legal issues, as this was the advantage brought by his current identity.
