Chapter 1082: Chapter 1087: Another Me

Aaron’s order or mission came at just the right time, but Yang Yi didn’t even need to bother informing Annastasia, because regardless of whether Aaron’s call came in or not, it had no effect on what the Organization of Water was up to.

What is meant by getting things done effortlessly, this is it.

However, the additional benefits of this mission assigned by Aaron are just too many.

Regardless of whether the Organization of Water can succeed on time, as long as the mission is completed following Aaron’s instructions, Yang Yi’s importance in Aaron’s eyes will increase significantly. Then, the more weight Yang Yi carries with Aaron, naturally, the more significant his position will be with the cleaners.

But the most tangible and direct benefit is that it’s become much easier to deal with Nicholas.

Yang Yi even feels that Nicholas is no longer an insurmountable enemy simply because too many people want him dead, and most wonderfully, all these people want Nicholas dead to make room for him.

In this case, it’s very hard for Yang Yi to continue to tread on thin ice and plot against Nicholas.

But just thinking of the assassin sent by Nicholas, Yang Yi feels waves of nausea.

Yang Yi picked up his cellphone, and after pondering for a while, he suddenly said to Bonnie, "Do you think I should be asking those women for their phone numbers instead of giving out mine?"

Bonnie tilted her head slightly and said, "You’ve just thought of this now?"

"Uh, I thought about leaving my own number so it’d be more convenient for others to find me, including those who intend to harm me, but it seems this approach isn’t quite normal when it comes to picking up girls."

After thinking seriously for a moment, Yang Yi suddenly said, "Maybe I should go out now, to places where beauties gather in droves, ask all the women I like for their numbers, and then invite them to a party. Oh, that won’t work, we’re short on staff, and too many people would be unmanageable."

Bonnie sighed and said, "What on earth are you thinking about now? Have you gone mad?"

Yang Yi pondered for a while, and after looking straight at Bonnie for a good while, he suddenly said, "That’s a good question. If it weren’t for your reminder, I wouldn’t even realize that I’m afraid."

Bonnie was puzzled and spread her hands saying, "Sorry, I can’t follow your train of thought. What did you just say? Are we on the same wavelength here? What are you afraid of?"

Yang Yi touched his neck with his right hand, which moved freely, and then he whispered, "I’ve been scared since you said you felt like we were being watched, a subconscious fear."

"Why?"

Looking emotional, Yang Yi said, "I’m afraid of being stalked by my own shadow, I’m afraid of that assassin, the one called Cupid."

Bonnie said in a deep voice, "You’ve said it yourself, he’s as seriously wounded as you or even more so, so you don’t have to worry about him right now."

Yang Yi nodded and said, "Yes, that’s how it should be according to common sense, isn’t it? But no, I’ve finally realized what I’m afraid of."

Bonnie shook her head: "You’re really driving me insane. Do you even know what you’re trying to say?"

"Hear me out, just listen quietly."

Yang Yi fell silent for a moment, then he suddenly asked, "Have you ever had an experience of fighting with your own shadow?"

"Shadow? Um, I think I’d better listen to you."

Yang Yi said calmly, "Cupid, I feel like he is like my shadow. We have similar timing in taking action, similar judgment of the situation, and even the movements when executing are similar. When I fought with him, I felt as if another me was wielding the knife. This feeling is very strong."

This time Bonnie said nothing, just listened intently to Yang Yi’s story.

Yang Yi continued indifferently, "I never thought I was afraid, especially of Cupid, but when you said you felt like someone was watching us, I’ve constantly had a sense of crisis. I wanted to use every means to confirm whether we were being watched or not. Now I understand, I am afraid of Cupid. I’m afraid that he’s already nearby, ready to strike at any moment."

Bonnie raised her hand, "Wait a minute, you said his injuries were severe."

Yang Yi smiled and said, "If it were me, in that situation, I wouldn’t just abandon the mission and leave like that, even if I was injured, even if my injuries were severe enough to affect my mobility. But the thing is, I would have avoided vital areas when getting injured, meaning that I didn’t sever major blood vessels. As long as I bandaged the wounds in time, I wouldn’t die from excessive blood loss. Then what would I do? I would stay near the scene, continuing to observe."

Yang Yi stood up, a subconscious action, but he did indeed stand up without being affected by the wound on his leg.

"See?"

After standing up, Yang Yi pointed to his leg and said in a deep voice, "A brief movement isn’t enough to be fatal to me. Even if one leg is impaired, it won’t stop me. So I would continue to monitor my target, I would ascertain where he went, and at that time, the target had gone onto an ambulance. What comes next is simple — knowing which hospital the target went to. I don’t need to risk getting close; a little investigation would reveal which ward he’s in and which doctor performed the surgery on him."

Now, Yang Yi was thinking entirely from the assassin’s perspective, and he said somewhat excitedly, "So what next? I know he will need surgery, which will take a long time, and he will have to spend at least the initial observation period in the hospital. That gives me time to have my own surgery, and then, I would continue to lie low near the hospital, watching the target, waiting for a chance to strike!"

"If I had no chance to make a move, my choice would be to keep waiting. As long as I never let the target out of my sight, the subsequent tracking could be very simple. I just need to know which plane the target boarded, and figuring out the plane’s destination is extremely easy. If I have a companion, then we just need to monitor the airport to find out where the target eventually went. If I’m alone..."

Yang Yi paused, and after a moment of contemplation, said solemnly, "I don’t need a companion. It’s just a matter of tracking a person who gets off a specific plane, especially someone in a wheelchair, an exceedingly conspicuous trait. There are plenty of people capable of executing this tracking task; just paying a sum of money would get insiders in the business to undertake this not so difficult job."

After finishing, Yang Yi took a deep breath then smiled at Bonnie, "I might not understand why the target is so careless, not hiding his tracks more cautiously. I would suspect it’s a trap, so I decide whether to strike only after further observation. And there’s a particularly conspicuous beautiful woman by the target’s side."

At this point, Yang Yi stared at Bonnie, his voice slowing down, "And this beautiful woman seems like the kind you could handle easily, at least she doesn’t seem particularly sensitive to danger. For safety’s sake, I would watch the beauty who is always by the target’s side, rather than the target himself. Because in this line of work, you come to pay a lot of attention to the so-called sixth sense. So, I’ve been watching you!"
