Chapter 492: Chapter 480 Heart Disease

Back at the hotel, he handed the newly recruited people over to Zhang Yong for accommodation and Yang Yi returned to his own room.

Yang Yi had only been back in his room for a few minutes when Terry knocked on his door.

"We can basically confirm that the gold is in Warsaw. Our fear is that the gold will be shipped directly from the airport, but the Grey-cloaked People have taken the gold to Warsaw. Take a look, are these the two vehicles you saw at the airport?"

Terry pulled up an image on his phone and then handed the phone to Yang Yi. After a mere glance, Yang Yi nodded and said, "Yes, this vehicle is the one I saw at the airport. Why is there only one?"

"The other one is an empty vehicle."

After articulating this in a casual tone, Terry took back his phone and spoke in a hushed voice, "Both vehicles went to Warsaw, but one headed to the airport while this one arrived at a supermarket warehouse in Warsaw. It is still inside right now."

Yang Yi took a breath and said, "So, you mean to say the vehicle is in Warsaw and you believe the gold is there too?"

"Yes."

"Then, what’s the plan? We could possibly snatch the gold, but do you have more detailed intelligence? For instance, how many people will be guarding the gold, what is the nearby environment like, what would be the consequences of a forceful seizure, and most importantly, we might take the gold, but how would we extricate ourselves?"

After a moment of silence, Terry said, "We’re unable to obtain more precise intelligence without alerting the Grey-cloaked People. As for the extraction after a forceful seizure, you don’t need to worry about that. We will ensure your safe getaway."

Stroking his head, Yang Yi said, "Without clearer intelligence, it’s going to be problematic."

"Isn’t this what you do?"

Yang Yi chuckled, "True. So, what’s in it for us?"

Terry said sternly, "Fifteen million US dollars."

Yang Yi looked at Terry in astonishment and said, "Fifteen million US dollars?"

Cleaners charge exorbitantly during hiring but turn stingy when it’s time to pay.

"Are you joking? That gold is worth over a billion, and you’re offering fifteen million US dollars?"

"Because the hardest part about obtaining that gold isn’t the armed robbery, but how to operate and arrange your extraction. So, fifteen million isn’t a low price."

Yang Yi shook his head and declared, "No need to continue. I absolutely won’t do it for fifteen million, definitely not! I can’t accept getting a mere fifteen million in return after stealing gold worth over a billion."

Terry replied calmly, "Hear me out. You will get something more valuable than money, which is your customer level. If you pull this job off, your customer level will go up a tier."

"What good is that? For example, can you help me find someone?"

"Depends on the difficulty. Who are you looking for?"

"A woman, from the KGB."

"Do you have detailed information?"

"No..."

"Do you have a photo?"

"No..."

"Without detailed information, can you provide any valuable leads?"

"I have no leads at all. I only know she’s with the KGB, and a name, though I don’t know if it’s her real name. Also, uh, there’s been no news of her since 1987..."

Terry sighed, then said to Yang Yi, "We can help you look, but it will cost ten million US dollars, paid upfront. Whether we find her or not, you still have to pay. It’s a one-year contract. After one year, if you want to continue the search, you continue to pay."

Yang Yi grimaced and said, "Sounds like I’d just be throwing my money at you like an idiot."

Spreading his hands, Terry paused for a moment and then nodded, "Actually, that’s exactly what it is. With such scant information, we certainly won’t find her. But of course, I wouldn’t mind making extra money for the organization. However, once you issue the task, we’ll try to find this person based on the clues you provided, regardless of the outcome."

Yang Yi waved his hand dismissively, "Forget it then, as if I never mentioned it. It seems increasing my customer level is rather meaningless."

Terry smiled, "It’s not without meaning; you just haven’t realized it yet."

Yang Yi contemplated for a moment and then said, "I blew my cover in the UK, got caught by MI5. Though I told a lie that got me released, if I dare to go to the UK again, I’m done for, because my lie won’t last long. Can you handle this for me?"

Terry laughed heartily, "Of course, isn’t that what we specialize in? Please explain your situation in detail."

Yang Yi outlined briefly how he got captured by MI5 and how he managed to free himself. He continued in a grave tone, "How can I go back to the UK without getting caught by MI5? I can sneak into the UK without showing my face; I can do that myself, but it’s meaningless. What’s crucial is how I can move freely in England."

Terry smiled, "That’s something we can handle for you, and the outcome will surely satisfy you. However, dealing with MI5 would be part of it. It happens that we don’t take tasks related to intelligence units like MI5 from D-level customers, but we do for C-level customers. How convenient is that?"

Having a record with MI5 was Yang Yi’s persistent concern, and it was not just a simple worry; the information at MI5 was a danger that might explode at any moment, and a deadly one at that.

Yang Yi was now interested, his voice deepened, "If I help you get that batch of gold, you’ll take care of the issue at MI5 for me, I mean completely settle it!"

Terry nodded, "Correct."

"Is there a fee? Oh, no, here’s the deal: I handle the gold for you, you pay me fifteen million US dollars, and you also sort out the problem with my exposed identity in the UK,"

Terry smiled, "We have to charge. But we can make it a symbolic fee of one million US dollars. How about that?"

"Your symbolic fee is a bit too substantial. Since it’s symbolic, let it be one hundred thousand. Isn’t that your minimum fee?"

After pondering for a brief moment, Terry nodded, "Alright, we will only charge you one hundred thousand US dollars."

Yang Yi felt as if he had won a great victory, he took a breath and said, "You’re in charge of transporting us to Poland, and also responsible for ensuring our safe departure from Poland."

"Certainly, that is indeed our job."

Slapping his hand, Yang Yi declared, "Then it’s settled! I’ll take the job."
