Chapter 616: Chapter 624: Time Flies

Yang Yi, when he wanted to sell information, couldn’t find a buyer, but now that Justin wanted to buy, he wasn’t planning to sell anymore.

Water has no constant shape, soldiers no constant formation; the situation is always changing. Just yesterday, Yang Yi had considered helping Jethro eliminate Ferdinand in secret, but now Jethro had gained the upper hand.

Yesterday, Yang Yi had thought about preventing Jethro from luring General Hagel out to kill him, but now, he knew that Jethro had no intention of killing Hagel and had even reached a tacit agreement with Ferdinand not to do so.

So why should Yang Yi bring out yesterday’s intelligence? If he sold the information about Jethro and Ferdinand planning to kill Hagel to Justin, not to mention that the information might be outdated and potentially false, even if Justin could never find out, but if Justin passed the information to Big Ivan, who then decided that Hagel should strike first and eliminate Ferdinand and Jethro, then the Organization of Water would be in danger.

Big Ivan surely wanted to uproot Deyo’s influence in Ukraine totally, and Big Ivan would certainly not treat the Organization of Water any differently when it came time to act. Therefore, Yang Yi needed to keep some secrets from Jethro to avoid being involved when Big Ivan made his move.

It was a shame that Yang Yi hoped to eliminate Deyo; otherwise, he could have sold the intelligence to both sides. For instance, the information just revealed by Justin was worth a lot of money.

But then again, if Justin hadn’t known that Yang Yi was bent on taking down Deyo, he wouldn’t have shared such sensitive information that could lead to a breach of security. As an intelligence dealer, if he didn’t know what not to say, he would have been long dead.

Putting Justin’s issue aside for the moment, Yang Yi hurriedly made his way to his former residence – there were still things to be taken care of, like finding a place for Tuya.

Seeing McDonald Quinn, Yang Yi approached with a careful smile and said, "Mr. Quinn, there’s something I need to trouble you with."

McDonald was just itching for something to do. Learning that Yang Yi had something for him, the originally stern-faced McDonald cracked a slight smile and asked, "What is it?"

Yang Yi gestured toward Tuya and said, "This guy, he has both his arms broken. I want to send him for treatment, so I was hoping you could take him to Germany, just drop him at a hospital, find a nurse for him, and then you can stay in Germany and follow up with..."

What Yang Yi meant was that McDonald didn’t need to look after Tuya himself – just send Tuya to Germany, and the rest would naturally be taken care of by Hank and his team. Meanwhile, it would be best to leave McDonald behind in Germany as well.

However, upon hearing Yang Yi’s words, McDonald’s face immediately soured, and he said in a deep voice, "Are you saying I’m no longer useful?"

Yang Yi quickly smiled apologetically and said, "Of course not! It’s just that the work we’re doing now isn’t suitable for you, that’s all!"

After a dismissive laugh, McDonald said sternly, "Let’s get something straight. It’s easy to send me away, but if you try to bring me back later... Humph, are you sure a spy organization doesn’t need a demolition expert?"

Yang Yi quickly led McDonald aside and whispered, "Please, Mr. Quinn, I’m not trying to oust you, but the mission we’re on now isn’t your typical spy operation. We’re posing as mercenaries to bodyguard an arms dealer. Tell me, would a mercenary group have a demolition expert like you? If you joined us as a bodyguard, it would blow our cover!"

Yang Yi’s words were reasonable enough. Although McDonald was still not happy, he said no more.

"Mr. Quinn, this task is only temporary. Once it’s over, I’ll call you back immediately because we really can’t do without a demolition expert."

McDonald sighed and then said quietly to Yang Yi, "I’ll trust you one more time. But MI6 has definitely noticed my disappearance and is searching for me all over. I can go to Germany, but you’d better think it through. If MI6 finds me, you’re on your own."

Yang Yi immediately said, "I’ll get you to Germany on a secure route. As long as you avoid crowded places, MI6 won’t be able to find you."

McDonald let out a sigh and then turned to look at Tuya, asking, "What’s the deal with this fellow?"

"He is the monster we talked about yesterday, Zhang Yong broke both of his arms too. I felt kind of sorry for the guy because he’s incredibly strong, so I figured he might come in handy, and I took him in. Also, this guy can really eat; he just polished off enough for fifteen people by himself."

McDonald Quinn immediately objected, "Do you think I’m an idiot?"

Yang Yi, utterly helpless, said, "I knew you wouldn’t believe me, but he really did eat a meal for fifteen."

McDonald Quinn, intrigued, said, "There’s someone who can eat that much? Interesting."

Yang Yi said softly, "I’m entrusting him to you then. Now I’m going to make a call, find someone to arrange your trip to Germany."

McDonald Quinn waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, hmm, is there really someone who can eat that much?"

McDonald Quinn went to look for Tuya, while Yang Yi stepped aside and called Justin.

Once Justin picked up the phone, Yang Yi said in a low voice, "There were people in the car earlier, now I can talk. First off, last night’s intelligence is already outdated and useless."

Justin, surprised, asked, "That fast? Can you share what the intel was?"

Yang Yi thought for a moment and then said, "Now Jethro has become the main player on the Ukraine side. That’s the piece of intel that matters now. I’m giving it to you for free, buddy. You’re in touch with Big Ivan, aren’t you? If Big Ivan is going to make a move, could you give me a heads-up so I can be prepared?"

Justin laughed and said, "Well, we’ll see when the time comes. Anything else?"

"I need to send two people to Germany and would like to ask you to arrange it."

"Who are they?"

"Well, one has no identity, and the other is McDonald Quinn."

Justin fell silent. After a while, he said softly, "Five hundred thousand US dollars, how about that?"

Yang Yi was truly astonished. He had made quite a lot of money, but to pay five hundred thousand US dollars just to send two people to Germany was burning money for no good reason.

"Brother, that’s a bit steep," he said.

Justin, speaking softly, said, "Go ask who else is willing to take McDonald Quinn to Germany. You think I want to earn that five hundred thousand US dollars? Do you have any idea how closely MI6 is watching McDonald Quinn? No problem if you find it too expensive, twenty thousand US dollars, but I won’t guarantee McDonald Quinn’s safety, okay?"

Yang Yi felt like he wanted to cry but had no tears. It wasn’t like the times a janitor needed his service, even if he sought the janitors’ channels, sending McDonald Quinn would probably cost more than what Justin quoted.

After thinking for a long time, Yang Yi said in resignation, "Then maybe I won’t send him to Germany after all. Can you find a good orthopedic doctor in Kiev?"
