Chapter 618: Chapter 626: Borrowing Someone

Five days had passed, and Yang Yi and his group had been quite idle.

Jethro and Ferdinand hadn’t been doing nothing, they launched two attacks on Big Ivan within those five days, both operations were not small in scale, but Jethro never showed up in person, it was Ferdinand who took people and did the job.

With Jethro not making a move, Yang Yi and his group, of course, stayed put, completely remaining indoors and not needing to step out, which naturally left them with plenty of idle time.

Tuya had received treatment, but Yang Yi and the others hadn’t seen it, according to Tuya’s description, the person who set his broken bones seemed to be a mixed-race, looking rather like an Asian.

Yang Yi had not sought to uncover the identity of that doctor, since the person didn’t want to be known by too many, he naturally should not pry into other people’s affairs.

On this day, Ferdinand was planning another operation, what puzzled Yang Yi was that since Justin was continuing to buy intelligence, it was natural that someone had taken over Andre’s matters, yet these past few days Ferdinand’s operations had been going very smoothly, as if there was no organized resistance at all.

What frustrated Yang Yi was that because Jethro didn’t need them at all, these few days Jethro and Ferdinand would discuss matters without allowing him to follow, hence, the only way to obtain some intelligence was to eavesdrop.

Jethro was meeting with Ferdinand, discussing a new operation, Anton was eavesdropping, while Brian was keeping an eye on Jethro to prevent his sudden return.

As for Yang Yi, he was waiting for Anton to receive any important intelligence so he could inform Justin in a timely manner.

During the first two operations, Yang Yi had promptly delivered the intelligence to Justin, but the two pieces of information combined were only worth fifty thousand US dollars, and Ferdinand’s operations still went smoothly as ever.

This suggested that the intelligence Yang Yi had sent out had been of no use, or perhaps, Big Ivan had given up on those targeted by Ferdinand.

Anton signaled to Yang Yi, who walked over, then Anton handed an earpiece to Yang Yi, and once Yang Yi put on the earpiece, he heard the conversation between Jethro and Ferdinand.

There must be some important intelligence, otherwise, Anton would not have asked Yang Yi to listen.

"Boss wants to send Beasley over?"

The speaker was Jethro, his tone sounded very surprised.

Ferdinand, sounding quite dejected, said, "Yes, Beasley is coming with the people who fought in Syria."

"Boss... what is he thinking, the situation in Syria is tense now, it’s a great opportunity for us to ship out goods, how could he possibly let Beasley leave that aside to come here now? What’s the point of Beasley coming here?"

Ferdinand sighed lightly and said, "I told you, the boss wants to get rid of Big Ivan the most, followed by Hagel, he has always been urging us to finish off Big Ivan quickly, since we can’t do it, he will naturally send someone else."

Jethro also sighed softly.

Yang Yi understood Jethro’s distress, the situation now was that Jethro had gotten Ferdinand on his side, he could be said to have quite a bit of initiative, but now Deyo was sending a new person over, and with someone else arriving, it was very possible that Jethro might not be able to maintain the current situation.

A rivalry between two becomes a triad contesting for dominance, Deyo must be afraid there isn’t enough internal strife or something.

While Yang Yi was secretly reflecting, Ferdinand spoke helplessly, "You’re not in charge of operations now, but I’m the one in charge of this area, and Beasley is coming to be responsible for operations as well, the two of us, huh!"

Beasley’s arrival meant competing with Ferdinand for resources, and it could well directly replace Ferdinand.

After a moment of silence, Jethro spoke softly, "Our situation here is not bad, we can’t let Beasley ruin the great prospect we have now."

Ferdinand said in a stern voice, "But what can we do? Beasley is about to arrive, at most in three days he could bring the people who have withdrawn from the Syrian battlefield here, do we ask Deyo to send him back to Syria? Is it possible, don’t you know the boss’s temper?"

Jethro suddenly said, "No, the boss actually hasn’t gone mad, so why not think about other possibilities?"

"What do you mean?"

"Nicholas, Nicholas has always been courting Beasley, and now Beasley is very close to Nicholas."

Ferdinand whispered, "Are you saying that the boss wants to get rid of... I see, is that possible?"

"What do you think? The boss didn’t transfer you but called Beasley here, gave him some men but not the Fearless and the Escort Group, I think the hint is already very clear."

"Makes sense, so we take out Beasley?"

"Why should we take him out? What would the others think? Do you understand what the boss wants now? To reclaim power while maintaining stability, there can’t be another Nicholas."

"Then what should we do?"

"After Beasley arrives, where will he stay? He knows nothing about Ukraine, even his lodging needs to be arranged by us, won’t that be easy to handle?"

"Let Big Ivan take care of our trouble, just like that!"

Yang Yi was engrossed in listening when his phone suddenly vibrated.

Taking off the headset, Yang Yi decided to answer the call since Anton would continue monitoring.

It was Justin who called, and Yang Yi whispered, "New merchandise has arrived, are you interested?"

"What kind of merchandise?"

"Added some new varieties."

"Yes, I’ll decide after seeing the merchandise."

"Alright."

Generally speaking, at this point in the conversation between Yang Yi and Justin concerning intelligence, they would start discussing the content of the intelligence, but this time Justin did not rush to ask for it; instead, he whispered, "I need to ask you for a favor."

"What is it."

"I need to borrow your man for a bit."

"Borrow my man?"

With some helplessness, Justin said, "I’ve got a job that definitely requires a demolition expert."

Yang Yi became immediately alert.

This was unexpected. As long as the Grey-cloaked People hadn’t tasked Justin with finding out who stole the gold, then even if Justin knew it was Yang Yi who did it, he absolutely wouldn’t blab about it. If the Grey-cloaked People suspected Justin, he might be forced to reveal the culprit to protect himself, but since the cleaner had voluntarily exposed that they were responsible, Justin shouldn’t be under suspicion by the Grey-cloaked People and therefore shouldn’t have the motive to seek the truth.

Why would Justin ask to borrow someone from Yang Yi? A demolition expert, that could only mean McDonald.

Wary and puzzled, Yang Yi whispered, "What do you need him for?"

Justin sighed and said, "There’s something I must get, but it requires explosives, and only a real expert can do it. Besides you, I have no better choice. You can name your price, as long as it isn’t excessive, I can agree."

Yang Yi felt somewhat relieved, and then he whispered, "Then you have to tell me what it is you want to do."
