Chapter 223: Chapter 222 Semi-finished Product

Apart from cooperation, did Yang Yi have any other choice? Since there was no other choice, he naturally agreed with alacrity, not to mention that cooperating with the janitors was actually beneficial.

As for the benefits, Yang Yi didn’t know yet.

Elvin, of course, was also satisfied with Yang Yi’s stance. He nodded and smiled at Yang Yi, "Very good, from now on, we are partners."

"Is there anything I need to pay particular attention to?"

"Of course, secrecy. Never reveal the existence of the janitors to anyone. This isn’t a reminder, it’s a warning. Please believe me, if you can’t keep your mouth shut, then we’ll have to do it for you."

Yang Yi immediately said, "Of course, I understand the importance of secrecy to a spy. Is there anything else?"

Elvin seriously said, "Your contact person is me. I will give you a phone number. You can contact me after any progress, but please don’t initiate contact about matters that are not related to the Grey-cloaked People."

"Okay, I understand."

Elvin stood up, he pulled open the room door, whispered a few words to someone outside, and then came back in, followed by Patrick carrying a small bag into the room.

Pointing at Yang Yi lying on the bed, Elvin spoke in a heavy voice, "He is our collaborator, please return his belongings to him."

Patrick placed the small bag on Yang Yi’s bed, opened it, and took out the items one by one, placing them beside Yang Yi, and said gravely, "All your things are here."

Yang Yi turned his head to look and said gravely, "Thank you."

Patrick’s face remained expressionless, while Elvin smiled, "My time is very tight, I need to leave immediately. Patrick will handle the follow-up matters for you. Now, also please give me a contact method that you will not change in the future."

Yang Yi looked at the satellite phone on the bed and said in a low voice, "The number for this phone, I won’t change it."

Elvin snapped his fingers, nodded at Yang Yi, and said, "Very good, then I shall take my leave now. I wish you all the best, goodbye."

After nodding to Xiao Ran, Elvin left Yang Yi’s sickroom.

After watching Elvin leave, Patrick let out a breath and said to Yang Yi, "You are really fortunate. Now you may leave. Where would you like to go? We will ensure you reach your destination safely."

Yang Yi didn’t know where he could go. His current condition was not convenient for moving, and at this moment, Xiao Ran said gravely, "Can he not continue to stay here?"

Patrick shook his head, "He cannot."

Xiao Ran didn’t hesitate and said, "Then take him to my home."

Patrick looked at Yang Yi and nodded, "Okay, we’ll leave right now."

Soon, two men came in and helped Yang Yi up from the bed and onto a wheelchair. As they were about to put a black hood over his head, Patrick said, "That won’t be necessary."

Xiao Ran had been in the room all along, but after giving Yang Yi a smile, she left on her own.

With Patrick accompanying him all the way, Yang Yi was wheeled out of the room, taken outdoors, and loaded onto a spacious vehicle that could directly accommodate a wheelchair.

As he left, Yang Yi also got a clear view of the building he had been in, a clinic, a private one that seemed modest in size.

Subsequently, Patrick brought Yang Yi to a posh community on the outskirts of Los Angeles, stopped in front of a large house, and after a short wait, Xiao Ran came out of the house and took Yang Yi’s wheelchair from Patrick’s hands.

Without any conversation, Patrick nodded at Xiao Ran, placed the bag containing all of Yang Yi’s belongings in Xiao Ran’s hands, and then promptly turned and walked away.

Patrick left.

Yang Yi looked up at the sun in the sky and then finally let out a breath, speaking softly, "It feels good to see the sun again, thank you anyway."

"What do you mean by thanking me anyway?"

Although Xiao Ran was behind Yang Yi, he could still hear the dissatisfaction in her voice, so he could only give a wry smile, "I misspoke. Let me say it again, thank you for saving me."

Xiao Ran snorted, "Insincere, but never mind, better to get you inside first, you’re still not fit for the wind."

After pushing Yang Yi up the steps and then into a large living room, Xiao Ran placed Yang Yi opposite the couch, threw the bag down, and threw herself comfortably onto the couch.

Looking at Xiao Ran now sprawled on the couch, Yang Yi swallowed, coughed lightly, and asked, "Um, where is my knife?"

Xiao Ran rolled her eyes, sat up, and looked at Yang Yi with dissatisfaction, "Do you know how long you’ve been unconscious?"

"How long?"

"Two days and two nights. Do you realize how long I’ve been looking after you? I barely slept at all these last two nights. Now you can see I’m dead tired, and the first thing you do is ask for your knife? Where is your conscience?"

Yang Yi said with a smile plastered on his face, "I just don’t feel safe without my knife."

Xiao Ran casually grabbed a lady’s bag from the couch, opened it, took out Yang Yi’s knife, and placed it on the table, "Here, I’m giving it back to you. Do you have anything else to say?"

Yang Yi stretched out his hand but couldn’t reach his knife, so he could only smile wryly and say, "Could you tell me more about the janitors? There’s a lot I still don’t understand. Elvin wasn’t very clear."

Xiao Ran sighed and said, "Elvin is of high rank. He wouldn’t have the interest in explaining so much to you. Actually, what he said today was already quite a lot. The part he didn’t mention is, of course, left for me to explain to you."

Yang Yi said gravely, "Then can you tell me what it really means to be a collaborator with the janitors? I noticed that Elvin said he asked you to contact me in Huaxia, not that he sent you, which means you’re not one of the janitors."

Xiao Ran shrugged, "Yes, didn’t I tell you? I’m a person of the janitors, but I’m not a janitor."

Yang Yi was astounded, "I thought when you said you weren’t a janitor, you meant not a real janitor in the sense of cleaning and picking up trash."

Xiao Ran spread her hands, "What I meant by saying I’m a person of the janitors is that I am a collaborator of the janitors, but I’m not a janitor. Actually, the janitors have many collaborators, but collaborators can’t become janitors. The janitors only allow their own trained individuals to become official members."

Yang Yi said with interest, "I see, so how did you become a collaborator with the janitors?"

Xiao Ran stared at Yang Yi and, after a lengthy pause, finally said softly, "Actually, my existence is due to a thoroughly failed plan. I’m an unfinished masterpiece, an abandoned half-finished product. If not for you, I would probably never have become a collaborator of the janitors."
