Chapter 858: Chapter 863 A Life-Saving Favor

The Organization of Water had always had a safe house in Paris, and now Kate was waiting in the safe house.

However, this safe house would definitely have to be abandoned after this time.

Anton arrived at the safe house almost at the same time as Yang Yi.

Ian’s condition looked pretty bad. He wanted to change allegiances, no doubt, but the process was very different from what he had imagined, because Ian had never expected that it would result in someone getting killed.

So now, compared to before, Ian’s mindset had subtly changed. He went from being eager to leave the United Kingdom to having to leave the United Kingdom.

Therefore, when Ian was seen again, he had become nervous, and clearly, he didn’t want to be with Anton, but he had no choice but to follow Anton and leave.

Ian’s mindset was still very important. He had to be willing to cooperate, or else there was a good chance that serious problems could arise.

Anton pushed Ian through the door with one hand and then he directly handed the backpack to Yang Yi, saying in a heavy voice, "The hard drive is still here, and the person has been brought over. No one followed us."

Yang Yi opened the backpack and, after personally seeing the two hard drives, let his guard down. Then he slung the bag over his shoulder and said to Ian, who had a dejected face, "You’re very lucky, you’re really very lucky!"

Ian managed a difficult smile, then he said in a low voice, "Am I? How come I’m lucky?"

Yang Yi took out his mobile phone and said in a somber voice, "You must be full of confusion right now, and you must want to know why I would kill someone, right?"

Ian, with his head lowered, said, "I didn’t expect it to turn out like this, I never thought... Someone died because of me. Who were they? Were they police? Or... agents?"

Yang Yi shook his head and said, "Why do I say you’re lucky? Because had you not encountered us, you would have been dead for sure. Those two weren’t agents or police. If they were, why didn’t they show you their badges when they came in? Was there any need for them to open the door themselves? The truth is, those two were assassins, killers who were there specifically to kill you."

Ian was stunned, then he raised his head and pointed to his nose asking, "Me? Killers after me? Why?"

Yang Yi pressed the play button for the recording on his phone, then said in a deep voice, "Listen and you’ll understand."

Yang Yi’s voice came up, followed by Wilson’s, with some bits of Eric’s voice in between.

The recording was a conversation between Yang Yi and Wilson. The main content was the same, but after Tang Guo’s editing, some key details were different—for instance, the two people who died weren’t Grey-cloaked People, they were assassins hired by Wilson with money, specifically to kill Ian.

There was definitely no problem with the voice, but after the critical parts had been altered, Ian had to be thankful to Yang Yi for saving his life in time.

Ian became more and more shocked, then he said in anger, "I knew it! Wilson, that bastard! That bastard!"

Yang Yi turned off the recording and then said in a deep voice, "Now you understand why Wilson wants you dead, and why we must escort you out immediately. After those two assassins died in your home, many things became unclear. Even if you are innocent, how long do you have to stay in the police station? How can you explain the cause and effect of this incident? In short, things have become complicated."

Ian, with a face full of anger, said, "I am innocent, yet now I am treated as a suspect? I... Right, how is Mr. Wilson doing? Will he be punished, or have you already..."

Yang Yi shrugged and said, "He has been punished, Ian. The problem now is though you are innocent, once the police find you, you won’t be able to get away again. And since the Destroyer has targeted you, your safety is hardly guaranteed. The Destroyer’s two assassins are dead, and you are still alive. To any assassin organization, this is a disgrace, so you must leave immediately."

Ian, with a puzzled face, said, "The Destroyer?"

Eric spread his hands and said, "A well-known assassin organization, haven’t you heard of it? Oh, you definitely haven’t. Buddy, we are all in trouble now. This assassin organization is extremely powerful. They have many assassins, ruthless, and their rule is, once they accept a murder mission, they must complete it at any cost. That’s their business reputation."

Ian, with a crestfallen face, said, "Even if Mr. Wilson is... even knowing their conspiracy isn’t enough? Doesn’t anyone care? What about the police?"

Eric gave a bitter smile and said, "You expect the United Kingdom’s police to protect you? Buddy, do you really think that?"

Ian sighed and said with resignation, "Alright, I was just speaking offhand. After all, the police can’t even catch the bastards who rob people with sulfuric acid on the streets, let alone expect them to do anything."

Yang Yi said in a serious tone, "Luckily, you won’t have to worry about safety issues anymore. You just need to proceed with the original plan."

Ian swallowed hard and sighed lightly, "It seems I really have no choice now. So what should I do?"

Yang Yi gestured towards Kate and then said in a deep voice, "Do we have a suitable identity?"

Kate glanced at Ian and then picked up and flipped through one out of four passports before saying, "Yes, Barnes Jefferson, thirty-four years old, a business elite who frequently travels between Asia and Europe. He’s similar in height, and his physical characteristics are quite close. The only major difference is hair color, but that’s not a problem. I’ve used the information from these four passports to buy plane tickets to three different countries, but now it seems this identity is most suitable."

Yang Yi nodded and then told Ian, "Sit down. She will do your makeup, and then you will appear as this person. Of course, someone will escort you on the way."

In fact, once Ian was handed over to Zhao Qiang, how to proceed was no longer Yang Yi’s concern, but Yang Yi had to finish everything he could do. If Zhao Qiang had a more suitable route, that was his business. However, if Zhao Qiang had no better direction, then the escape route that Yang Yi or the Organization of Water had prepared would be very useful.

Kate was already prepared. She pointed to a chair in front of a mirror and said, "Sit here."

Ian looked at Kate, glanced down, and then stealthily took another look. After hesitating for a while, he finally gathered enough courage, looked up, and said, "Thank you for helping me with the makeup. Um, you are very beautiful."

Kate gave a small smile and said, "Thanks. Now, sit here."

Ian sat down and kept sneaking glances at Kate in the mirror. When Kate met his gaze in the mirror, he hurriedly looked away.

Kate turned the chair around to examine Ian’s face. Just then, Ian couldn’t help but laugh, giving a light cough. Just as he was thinking of what to say, Kate finally lost her patience.

Bending down, Kate whispered in Ian’s ear, "Don’t smile, and don’t turn your head. You’ll slow down the makeup process. And if your eyes keep fucking staring at my chest, I’ll twist your head off. Understood?"
