Chapter 386: Chapter 374: Theft

It was dangerous in the United Kingdom, and Yang Yi even suspected that he had been under MI5’s surveillance the entire time, but his previous injuries had indeed made it difficult for him to move, so he had no choice but to stay.

But some things could now be done. Yang Yi might not have been able to take action himself, but that didn’t mean he had to personally take care of everything.

"We’ve run into some trouble in London, I got hurt, someone died, and now we’re in a delicate situation," he said.

After finishing speaking, Yang Yi let out a sigh and continued, "We’ve known each other for a while, you guys have followed me for a long time in prison, and now, I have to ask if you’re willing to keep rolling with me."

Yang Yi felt Hank might leave, Chris was uncertain, but Gweil definitely wouldn’t leave because he lacked livelihood skills and was unfamiliar with life in the UK, so Gweil probably wouldn’t go.

As for Rodriguez, Yang Yi was unable to make a judgement. Rodriguez didn’t have any skills, and unlike Hank and Gweil, who had unique talents, at best he was material for a hooligan, but the advantage of Rodriguez was his utmost loyalty and obedience, making him a perfect subordinate, if only he wasn’t lacking in capabilities.

The old Yang Yi would keep everyone under his control, but now his thinking had changed due to the circumstances and because Yang Yi was after something a bit different, so he could give his subordinates a chance to choose again.

"I am definitely going to keep rolling with you, Boss!"

Rodriguez still looked serious. He patted his chest with his right hand twice, then said with utmost solemnity, "I will follow you always, Boss."

Gweil also spoke with a calm face, "I have nowhere to go, so of course I will roll with you if you still want me. If not, then I might soon get caught and sent back to prison, oh, Hamer Phil got sent back to prison, I saw it on the news."

The acting teacher Hamer Phil had indeed been caught and sent back, but Yang Yi didn’t care about this. Since Hamer Phil made the wrong choice, he naturally had to pay the price.

Yang Yi looked at Chris, who said without hesitation, "I’m rolling with you!"

He said just that, and Chris had no more to add. Yang Yi then turned to Hank, "And you?"

Hank scratched his head, then said with a troubled look, "Do I have a choice?"

"You do, since I’m offering you the choice, I will respect your decision."

Hank let out a long sigh, then looking at Yang Yi, said, "There’s nothing more to say, I’m staying."

Yang Yi was somewhat surprised, as he thought Hank would leave without hesitation.

Seeing the look in Yang Yi’s eyes, Hank shrugged and murmured, "I’m not going to leave."

"You have concerns, you’re worried about being silenced by me, right?"

Yang Yi could see through Hank’s caution, and after Hank hesitated for a moment, he didn’t speak, effectively affirming Yang Yi’s assumption.

"If you want to leave, then you can. I’m not testing you, but asking for your opinion. Of course, everything you have been through and know cannot be revealed to anyone, that is mandatory, but I don’t want to force any of you to stay because I want a truly pure team."

Yang Yi truly wanted a team that was pure and united. He didn’t want to keep anyone with divergent loyalties in the team anymore. If Hank didn’t want to stay in the Organization of Water, Yang Yi wouldn’t force him and, considering their past acquaintance, he would let Hank leave safely.

Hank was surprised by Yang Yi’s statement, then he said gravely, "Really?"

"Really, but you have to do one thing for me before you can leave."

"What’s that?"

"You need to steal two corpses from the police morgue for me. Once you’ve done that, we’d be even. As long as you haven’t betrayed us, I will never go after you."

Hank thought for a moment, then said to Yang Yi, "Can I think about it, and decide whether to stay after I’ve done this task?"

"Yes."

Yang Yi nodded, then said in a deep voice, "We’ve now confirmed that the bodies of my two deceased friends are in the morgue at Scotland Yard’s Homicide and Major Crimes division. I thought of several methods but none seemed ideal, then I figured maybe you could pull it off. So, can you do it?"

Hank said without hesitating, "Going into the police morgue to steal two corpses is risky, but it’s still theft, just a bit more special, so I think there shouldn’t be a problem."

Yang Yi nodded and continued, "Good, help me steal the bodies, and then we’ll be square. You can go wherever you want."

After pondering for a while, Hank nodded and said, "Okay, but like I said, I need to think about it. I haven’t made up my mind yet."

"Whatever help you need, whether it’s manpower or something else, just ask."

"I might need someone to help me move the bodies. I can’t manage two bodies on my own, so I need three helpers. But the more people there are, the more likely it is to fail, so let’s first see how it goes."

When Yang Yi decided to personally arrange for the burial of Mike and Charles’s remains, theft was what he thought of, since it was the most cost-effective method.

After discussing how to handle the bodies, Yang Yi then said, "After burying the bodies, we will leave the United Kingdom, but I think not all of you need to leave with me. There is no need for that, and besides, it’s too dangerous to be around me, so you will go to Paris, where there is a safe house where you can settle down."

The villa they had previously rented was no longer safe to stay in, but the prepared safe house should be fine. However, for the sake of caution, Yang Yi decided to evacuate everyone from London, because if they had been under the surveillance of MI5, then everyone he had met in these days might already be at risk of exposure.

Rodriguez said with some surprise, "Boss, are you going to leave me behind again? I don’t want to spend my days doing nothing in a house. Can’t you take me with you, I’ll do anything."

Yang Yi smiled and replied, "But the things I have to do next are very dangerous."

Rodriguez said indignantly, "Could it be more dangerous than Pelican Bay Prison? Boss, there’s nothing I’m afraid of, you know me, I’m not scared of anything!"

Yang Yi started to laugh, then he exclaimed loudly, "Yes, you’re really not afraid of anything. Alright then, let’s not talk about this for now, because we don’t yet know what will happen next."

Waving his hand, Yang Yi said softly, "Go and get ready, Hank, the sooner the better."

Hank nodded, then looked at Chris and said, "How about he comes with me? He can help when we’re scoping things out."

Yang Yi looked at Chris and instructed, "Chris, go help Hank. Follow his lead on everything."
