Chapter 1355: Chapter 1360: No Secrets

Surprise, isn’t it?

Life is truly full of surprises and unexpected events at every turn.

Yang Yi has always considered himself a smart person. Although he might not foresee every detail, in the grand scheme of things, his gains have outweighed his losses.

Moreover, Yang Yi feels that he has become more mature and skilled over time. Yet, why is it that in front of Aaron, in front of the Grey-cloaked People, and let’s add a cleaner to the list, why does he always feel such a strong sense of defeat in front of these people?

Why is this, why is this?

Initially, Yang Yi did not feel panic or sadness; instead, he began to envy Gong Yang.

They are not the same age, but similar in years, and both are Chinese.

Yang Yi considers himself and Gong Yang to be among the best in the underground world. Yet, while Gong Yang’s issues could be addressed by just pulling the trigger, Yang Yi has to deal with the world’s most mysterious organization.

Gong Yang’s world must be very simple.

A simple world is truly wonderful...

After a brief lapse of focus, Yang Yi took a deep breath again, then spread his hands in front of Bruno.

Yang Yi wanted to deny it, but his sense of defeat was too overwhelming. Moreover, he knew, what’s the point of lying to Bruno?

There was no purpose. Someone like Bruno could never be deceived by pretty words. Even if Yang Yi were to spin an elaborate tale, and present evidence to Bruno, Bruno would still firmly believe Yang Yi was an undercover for the cleaners.

Unless Aaron could reevaluate Yang Yi, but Aaron is already dead, and what Yang Yi recited to Bruno were Aaron’s last words.

So, regardless of whether Yang Yi is an undercover agent for the cleaners, he is and always will be so in the eyes of the Grey-cloaked People.

Besides, Yang Yi truly is an undercover for the cleaners.

The cleaners paid a heavy price, Yang Yi paid a heavy price, and this is the result.

Even if Bruno says he does not care whether Yang Yi is an undercover for the cleaners, setting aside his true meaning, the issue remains the defeat, the sense of defeat.

No matter how much Yang Yi breathes deeply, he could not calm himself down. This time, it really seemed impossible, but things still appeared to have a turning point. The undercover plan had failed, yet Bruno mentioned letting Yang Yi take over Aaron’s position, which was intriguing.

Very intriguing.

"I don’t quite understand what you mean."

Yang Yi finally spoke, while Bruno smiled and waved his hand, saying, "You’re very calm. I trust that Aaron couldn’t have been wrong about you."

Not to get tangled up in whether he was undercover, Yang Yi remained silent, waiting for Bruno to continue.

"Hmm, why don’t you first tell me if you really are a cleaner’s undercover?"

Yang Yi took another deep breath, then said in a low voice, "I will never answer that question."

"Not denying or confirming, although saying it this way is already an admission, but alright, I understand how you feel, so I won’t ask you that question anymore. I know Aaron was right, so... let me think, what should I say."

Bruno continued to smile, pondered for a moment, then said, "Hmm, why don’t I care if you are a cleaner’s undercover? The reason is simple. We’ve been watching you for a long time. We know you actually don’t have a deep relationship with the cleaners. Your cooperation with the cleaners is just to use them to achieve your goal. And what is your goal? Revenge, avenging your father."

Alright, Yang Yi felt like he was a fish with its guts emptied and left under the sun to dry.

Why is there not a single secret left? How do the Grey-cloaked People know everything?

Seeing Yang Yi’s expression, Bruno smiled and said, "You’re just cooperating with the cleaners, which is good because you’re not a real cleaner. You wouldn’t sacrifice for the cleaners’ beliefs, which means there is hope for rescue. Now, back to you, do you still want revenge?"

I really don’t know how to answer.

Without waiting for Yang Yi’s response, Bruno apologized again with a smile, saying, "I’m sorry. How come I keep asking questions that are hard for you to answer today? That’s my fault, you don’t have to answer."

Bruno really is a considerate person, Yang Yi was moved to the point of almost tearing up.

"Hmm, actually, are you sure about who your enemies are? Do you think revenge is meaningful? Do you truly believe the cleaners are helping you? Eh, I’m using questions to talk to you again, that’s not good. Please hold on a second, I need to organize my words."

Bruno truly stopped talking, falling silent for over a minute before smiling again, "Let’s continue. I realized a moment ago a point—that it doesn’t make sense to talk about these things before you know the truth of the situation, so my questions can wait until later. For now, let’s talk about the crucial matters."

"What crucial matters?"

Yang Yi finally had a chance to speak. To be honest, the blow he received today was considerable, as it was the first time he did not even know what to say.

"We’ve been watching you for a long time, about thirty people, the best analysts in the world. Thirty of them have analyzed you for about a year, first reaching Aaron’s conclusion that you are an undercover, the cleaner’s investment undercover."

"Uh, I’ll remain silent then."

"Alright, I’ll continue. You’re definitely feeling upset right now because you think you have no secrets left, but that’s normal. You have no idea how much effort and resources we’ve poured into you. Hmm, so there’s no reason to feel defeated. After all, anyone would have a hard time comparing to the storied organization of the Grey-cloaked People that’s been around for centuries, right?"

"Hmm, I’d rather just hear you talk."

Bruno chuckled, then continued, "Would you like to know the assessment on you? We usually never tell the subjects about these things, but you are an exception. You should know why Aaron noticed you. The first point, you are an emotional person. This is very important; many spies are well-trained, but their personal emotions are repressed. We don’t need unemotional people."

Talking about emotions again, Yang Yi remained speechless.

"Your Organization of Water, to be blunt, is decently organized—you’ve already become an immature spy organization. Why do I say immature? Because the Organization of Water doesn’t operate based on rules; it runs more on emotional ties. This operational model... forgive me for being frank, but as a spy organization, this is a total failure."

Yang Yi continued to be speechless, really having nothing to say.

Bruno smiled and said, "You are very clever but lack experience, because you aren’t classically trained, but you have talent, so you learn quickly, all of which are very important, extremely important. Oh, these are also Aaron’s assessments of you."

Yang Yi spread his hands, his inner world in turmoil, yet his face remained calm as he said, "Is there more?"
