Chapter 1282: Chapter 1287: Not That Simple

"I’m starving, you can’t imagine what I just went through. Damn, just as I was about to eat, someone exploded in front of me."

Covered in dust and dirt, Yang Yi made a helpless gesture towards Brian and Anton, saying, "It’s disgusting, I’d bet you’ve never seen a person suddenly get blown to pieces."

Anton raised his hand and said, "I’ve seen it."

Brian shrugged and said, "In fact, I’ve seen it too."

Yang Yi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, anyway, I was pretty shocked because I’ve never seen someone suddenly blow up into pieces before. Uh, I’m so hungry, and now I have to make up a reasonable lie to fool Azar."

With a helpless sigh, Yang Yi picked up a compressed biscuit and said angrily, "A perfectly good dinner is gone, now I can only eat compressed biscuits."

"What excuse are you planning to make up?"

Yang Yi said helplessly, "Can’t think of one, because I feel like nothing I say will explain it clearly. Whatever, at worst Azar will join the fight, but I think he wouldn’t dare. Just give him any excuse out of courtesy."

Anton lowered his voice and whispered, "Are the cleaners’ moves too frequent? Why are they in such a hurry?"

"Creating a sense of urgency, I think that’s it."

Yang Yi couldn’t clearly understand the cleaners’ intentions because his communication with them wasn’t smooth.

Yang Yi lay on the bed, stared at the ceiling, and said softly, "If the Grey-cloaked People and the cleaners start fighting around me, then where are the Grey-cloaked People? Only the cleaners have made a move now. If this item is really that important to the Grey-cloaked People, they should have sent someone to support me, not the CIA, but the Grey-cloaked People."

Currently, it seemed like only Yang Yi and his Organization of Water were opposing the cleaners; the Grey-cloaked People hadn’t acted, which was illogical.

If that cross is really important, the Grey-cloaked People should have reacted by now.

Brian suddenly said, "Do you think there are Grey-cloaked People here?"

"This is Mosul, not Europe."

After Anton finished, he said indifferently, "The cleaners have laid out their plans for a long time, but the Grey-cloaked People might not have countermeasures on this front. Or, Mosul might not be within the Grey-cloaked People’s sight, so they have no manpower to deploy here."

Yang Yi said softly, "I have a feeling things aren’t that simple."

"Yes, things aren’t that simple."

After Brian finished speaking, he said softly, "I have a feeling this is a conspiracy by the cleaners."

"Yeah, I feel like I’m being used as bait, holding something irresistible to the Grey-cloaked People, making them come to me at all costs, and then the cleaners can take advantage of the situation."

With a sigh, Yang Yi said troubledly, "The only problem is that I don’t know what role I’m playing."

Anton said softly, "What if the Grey-cloaked People also have people here, and they start fighting the cleaners to protect you?"

Yang Yi smiled and said, "That would be best because things obtained too easily aren’t valued. No matter how important this item is, if I bring it back to the Grey-cloaked People, it will just be an important item. But I want the Grey-cloaked People to pay a price, a severe price for it."

Yang Yi picked up the phone, smiled, and said, "Anyway, let’s inform Aaron that the situation here is very dangerous. I think that’s the most appropriate choice, let him send some people over. The cleaners are already prepared, now let’s see if the Grey-cloaked People are ready."

The call was made immediately. Yang Yi put the compressed biscuit down, wiped his mouth, then immediately called Aaron.

"Sir! I just encountered a suicide attack!"

After speaking very seriously, Yang Yi said urgently, "I need reinforcements. The ISIS people are completely unreliable, but I can’t leave Mosul now because I am sure the cleaners have brought a lot of manpower. They just can’t operate easily in Mosul. But please understand one thing, I was once one of the cleaners, they know my strength very well, I urgently need assistance!"

Aaron didn’t act mysteriously this time, and instead, very seriously said, "The people to assist you are already on their way. No matter what happens, protect that item. Right now, nothing is more important, your main task is to leave with the item safely."

"How many people, when will they come, and how should I contact them?"

"A lot of people, they’ll arrive soon."

Yang Yi breathed out and said, "Sir, can you give me the most basic trust, I feel, um, your answer is really not rigorous enough."

Yang Yi appropriately expressed a bit of dissatisfaction, and Aaron immediately said, "Fourteen people, already flying over. The exact arrival time can’t be confirmed yet, but they will contact and protect you right after they arrive."

"Should I let them keep the item?"

"Um, it depends on the situation. If you feel your situation is too dangerous, you can let them keep the item. Rest assured, I know your contributions, everyone’s seen your performance."

Yang Yi said in a deep voice, "That’s great, thank you, sir."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Yi shrugged, then made a throat-cutting gesture at his own neck.

"Our reinforcements are on the way."

With the gesture, others understood Yang Yi’s meaning: once the Grey-cloaked People’s reinforcements arrived, more strategies were needed to deal with them.

"Let the Stone Statue and Paul stay away from us. If anyone tries to reach for the item, eliminate them."

Yang Yi nonchalantly revealed his plan, and Brian said in surprise, "By doing this, do you think the Grey-cloaked People are fools?"

Yang Yi laughed and said, "Of course, depending on the situation, but I absolutely won’t easily hand over the item. If the Grey-cloaked People want it, fine, first cure Xiao Ran and Zhang Yong. So, if necessary, you can act like cleaners."

Anton and Brian exchanged a look, then he said softly, "You want us to be undercover agents beside you, that’s your plan?"

"Do this in case there’s no other choice."

Anton nodded and said, "Understood, if there’s really no choice, let me act as the undercover then."

One always has to do something to strive for, and Yang Yi decided that if there was no other choice, let Anton act as the cleaner’s undercover to prevent the handover of the item to the Grey-cloaked People.

The future is full of variables, nothing is guaranteed to succeed 100%. Yang Yi’s plan is, of course, risky, but if you want something, you have to pay a
