Chapter 952: Chapter 957: Bitterness in the Heart

Yang Yi’s directness left Walter stunned and inexplicably terrified.

Investigating a CIA authority, a core figure—was that something you could just casually talk about? Walter felt he must have been incredibly unlucky to have encountered Yang Yi, such a greenhorn, pushing him to the point where when he spoke, Walter genuinely began to listen.

"Oh, shit..."

Walter couldn’t help but curse softly under his breath, then hurriedly exclaimed, "Stop! Stop it, don’t say any more!"

Yang Yi spread his hands and said, "Don’t you want to access the file? Hmm, now you know why the camera needs to be turned off. Actually, you haven’t even accessed the file yet, so you can pretend you didn’t hear any of this, right?"

Walter took a deep breath, then after staring at Yang Yi for a moment, he gave a wry smile and said, "This, this..."

Yang Yi shrugged and said, "It’s just us three here. If you were Aaron’s man, wouldn’t you have killed me by now?"

Walter shook his head repeatedly and said, "How could that be, how is that possible, I am... you..."

Yang Yi spoke softly, "If you insist on checking the file, I can tell you the password, and then you’ll know whether what I’m saying is true."

Walter quickly gestured with his hands, he definitely didn’t want to get involved in this matter. Even though as the director of the Security Department, internal security was within his responsibilities at the CIA, the issue was that investigating a deputy director changed everything.

Even if an investigation had to happen eventually, it wouldn’t be Walter’s issue; hence, he couldn’t look at the file and didn’t wish to take this matter upon himself.

Who should handle it would be the very person Yang Yi had requested to see—Deputy Director and Director of Management Porter MacLaurin, Walter’s immediate superior.

Porter MacLaurin had another identity—he was the successor to Jason Moore Haye.

Without much deliberation, Walter stood up and said to Yang Yi, "Wait here for a moment."

Without indicating anything clearly, Walter left. Although everything seemed normal, he actually left somewhat clumsily.

When immortals fight, a lesser demon is better staying out of it.

For someone who had suddenly arrived at the CIA headquarters, claiming to be on a covert mission, Walter couldn’t take it lightly. Although it didn’t make sense or follow protocol, not paying attention to such matters in an intelligence agency would be dereliction of duty, even a crime.

But Walter was having good days until suddenly, he was about to be entangled in an investigation storm targeting senior leadership. Of course, he would want to stay as far away as possible, as there was no choice when the task was assigned, but Walter didn’t want promotion through a major internal case. He didn’t want this opportunity at all, so without a direct and explicit order, Walter really didn’t want to hear another word from Yang Yi.

Therefore, Yang Yi was once again left alone in the reception room, and this time, no one brought him coffee.

Yang Yi could only wait, just wait, and ended up waiting for two hours.

Finally, the door to the reception room was opened again. This time, a man who appeared to be in his fifties entered; he was very tall but extremely thin, his expression on his face was very serious.

Walter followed behind the middle-aged man and there was also a rather sturdy-looking short man by his side.

"I’m Porter MacLaurin."

After entering the room and saying only that, Porter immediately said to Yang Yi, "Come with me now."

Porter had come in person to receive him.

Walter felt bitter, not because of any problem with Yang Yi’s attitude, but because, after reporting to Porter the unusual incident he had encountered today, Porter didn’t ask him to leave but brought him to meet Yang Yi.

What did that imply? It very likely meant he might have to follow up on this matter.

Walter had an ominous premonition, sensing that his peaceful life was about to be disrupted, and his premonition was very strong.

What was Porter’s identity? If he personally came to receive someone, it wasn’t to show respect for Yang Yi, but for security.

Yes, for security.

Even at CIA headquarters, Porter didn’t want to risk Yang Yi encountering any accidents, so he brought his assistant, called Walter, this security chief, and personally came to escort Yang Yi together.

What did this indicate? It meant Porter was not treating the whole matter as a joke. He was serious, very serious.

Who was Aaron to underestimate his authority? Aaron was the CIA’s deputy director in charge of operations. In terms of position, he might not be second in command, but in terms of power, he was the second most powerful person, with the most strength and people in the four divisions of the CIA. Even Porter, who was officially the second-in-command, the director of the management division and deputy director, was not as powerful as Aaron.

Of course, within the CIA, Porter had a higher status than Aaron, with administrative authority above him.

That’s why Yang Yi had requested to only reveal everything after seeing the director or Porter, the deputy director.

Walter resigned himself to fate and followed behind Yang Yi when entering Porter’s office.

"Please sit."

Having entered his office, Porter said "please" to Yang Yi and then sat down behind his own desk directly. He turned on the computer, then entered a password, followed by verifying his fingerprint and finally his iris.

After completing the verifications, Porter looked toward Yang Yi and said, "File code and password."

Yang Yi’s heart couldn’t help but start to get tense. The cleaning personnel had assured that there would be no issues with his file, but who knew if there really would be any problems?

Now was the moment of truth.

Yang Yi gave the file code and password, and Porter entered them into the computer.

Yang Yi’s face appeared on the computer screen—the front and side photos, his name, his ID number, his mission—all displayed on the computer screen, and at the bottom was the signature of Jason Moore Haye.

It was real. After looking through Yang Yi’s file, Porter sighed softly and then remained silent.

Seeing Porter’s silence, Walter’s heart sank even further.

Porter’s silence meant everything Yang Yi had said was true.

Finally, after long silence, Porter spoke in a low voice, "Your name is Eric Wang?"

"Yes, though I haven’t used that name for a long time. You can call me Yang Yi, or you can call me Sea God. That’s the codename Mr. Hayes gave me."

After another prolonged silence, Porter spoke in a solemn voice to Walter, "You are responsible for protecting Sea God. His safety is very important. Take him to rest for a while."

The inevitable had finally come. Walter’s heart was bitter, but still respectful, he said, "Yes, sir."

Turning to look at Yang Yi, Walter, with a composed expression, said, "Sea God, please follow me."

Yang Yi followed Walter out, and as he watched Yang Yi’s figure disappear at the door and waited for the office door to close, Porter suddenly said, "Ensure his safety, look into his background, then talk to him, and write me a detailed report."
