Chapter 778: 783

Yarebin mentioned the "cleaner" because Yang Yi’s reaction led him to conclude Yang Yi was aware of the cleaner, and therefore it could be assumed that Yang Yi had a connection with the cleaner. Everything came together smoothly, and Yarebin began to lure him into starting from the cleaner’s side.

Yang Yi knew he was being used as a pawn by Yarebin, yet he wouldn’t resist. Why?

Of course, it was because Yang Yi indeed could make a breakthrough from the cleaner’s side, so Yarebin just needed to give him a little nudge, and Yang Yi would take initiative from there.

As Yarebin had said, whether it was the Grey-cloaked People or the cleaner, whether it was the CIA or the KGB, they were all like unshakable plasters that cling to you, and if you didn’t want unnecessary trouble, it was better to stay as far from these organizations as possible. Therefore, Yarebin naturally hoped to see Yang Yi fulfill his wish. As for whether Yang Yi could achieve it, Yarebin wouldn’t suffer any loss.

Yang Yi took a deep breath and said to Yarebin, "Do you have any other suggestions?"

Yarebin shrugged and said, "I have no more advice to give you, but I do want something in return."

"What do you want?"

Yarebin laughed, then said deliberately, "Deyo’s address. I’ve told you so much; you ought to give me something in return. I want to know Deyo’s address now."

Yang Yi thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Deyo has a villa on the coast of Nice in France, where he occasionally stays for a while."

Yarebin frowned, then said gravely, "Is that your information?"

"Yes, what’s wrong with it?"

"Of course, there’s a problem, because this information... we already know it!"

Yang Yi was shocked, "What? You know?"

Yarebin nodded and said, "Of course, I can even tell you the exact address to show that I’m not deceiving you. Grevatov, mark Deyo’s residence on the map for him."

Yang Yi waved his hand, looking resigned, "No need, I believe you already know this information."

The information had already been sold to Justin, and it seemed Justin had sold it to Gong Yang and Yarebin, so if Yarebin knew the same place, it was not at all surprising.

Selling the same information to different people was nothing new, but when the provider and user of the information try to make a transaction after bypassing the middleman, only to find the information has already been trafficked, it’s quite embarrassing.

Yarebin looked at Yang Yi, who had let out a breath, and said, "It seems you have a cooperative relationship with Justin."

Yang Yi also smiled wryly, "So it turns out you are the buyer."

Everything was clear, and there was no point in acknowledging it further. Aside from exclaiming at the coincidence, there was nothing more to say.

Yarebin spread his hands and said, "There’s nobody living in that villa, but there’s nobody living in that villa, so unless you have newer information, this information is invalid. We’ve already bought it, so remember, you owe me a piece of information."

How did he come to owe anything, Yang Yi wouldn’t agree to owe someone so easily, so he didn’t pick up on Yarebin’s words and just smiled, "If I take down Aaron, or get any information on the Grey-cloaked People, I’ll tell you in return, Mr. Yarebin, it’s been a pleasure meeting you."

Yang Yi stood up and shook hands with Yarebin, then Yarebin smiled and said, "I wish you luck, goodbye."

There was nothing more to say, and Yarebin wouldn’t keep talking to Yang Yi, so it was time to say farewell.

Grevatov then escorted Yang Yi out, and Yang Yi went straight back to their base.

The Organization of Water was about to withdraw from Kyiv, and except for Brian and Anastasia who had already left, everyone else was waiting at the base. Once Yang Yi returned, the Organization of Water would also set off.

On the ride back to the base in Rodriguez’s car, Yang Yi was pondering a question: whether or not to contact the cleaner and give him the full account of what he knew.

The cleaner was an ally, but a dangerous one.

To be honest, Yang Yi had always been somewhat reluctant to get too close to the cleaner, not for any complex reason, but simply because the cleaner was a secret organization like the Grey-cloaked People, and capable of rivaling them.

After much consideration, Yang Yi thought it would be better to join forces with the cleaner.

Of course, joining forces was a more pleasant way of putting it. The Organization of Water currently had no standing to join forces with the cleaner. To put it bluntly, the Organization of Water could only hope to leverage the power of the cleaner to accomplish some of its own tasks.

It wasn’t convenient to make a call in the car; it would be better to wait until they got back.

"Boss, did everything go smoothly?"

Seeing that Yang Yi seemed to have stopped worrying about other matters, Rodriguez finally voiced his question.

"Oh, everything went smoothly."

"That’s good then."

Rodriguez seemed to want to say something, but after blurting out one phrase, he fell silent again.

Having spent so much time together, Yang Yi knew Rodriguez had something to say, so he smiled, "What do you want to say? Are you waiting for later?"

Rodriguez laughed sheepishly, hesitated, and then finally said, "Are we leaving Kyiv?"

"Yes."

"So, does that mean we’re going to take a break?"

"Um, yes, you can take a break for a while. What’s up?"

Rodriguez spoke haltingly, "Well, I have money now, and I spent a lot of time in a U.S. prison, I haven’t been back for a long time..."

Yang Yi suddenly realized, "You want to go back and see?"

"Yes."

Rodriguez looked a bit embarrassed, hesitated as he took his hands off the steering wheel and waved dismissively, with a lack of confidence, "My father has passed away, and my mother is still at home. She may have a new boyfriend or maybe married; I’m not quite sure. I have a younger brother, two years younger than me, and I don’t know how he’s doing now."

Rodriguez had spoken to Yang Yi about his family before, but he had never mentioned it in such detail. Yang Yi had always regarded Rodriguez as someone without any attachments, but it turned out Rodriguez did want to go back for a visit.

Yang Yi laughed and said loudly, "If you want to go back, then go back and have a look."

Rodriguez looked positively giddy and said, "I have money now! I’m rich now, I have to go back and see, and then I’ll take my mother and brother out of Ecuador and send them someplace nice. Uh, if my mom hasn’t married, I don’t want to deal with a man I’ve never met, even if he’s my mother’s husband or boyfriend."
