Chapter 321: Chapter 305: Light and Dust Together_2

"I did ask," but it still isn’t very clear, I think he isn’t quite honest yet, of course, that’s normal, after all, we still lack understanding of each other."

Just glancing casually at Joelson, Gao Yi continued, "So how should we enter into a deep collaboration?"

"To show sincerity, I’ll first give you a secure identity, the Warhammer Mercenary Group, starting today you are a covert operation dispatched by the CIA, with the group leader, Wind Knight, being you. Do you want to store your biological information in the CIA or not?"

Gao Yi, curious, asked, "Biological information?"

"It’s like this: in any country’s intelligence agency, the information of a mole is top secret, and so is the identity of our agents. Some field agents who perform secret missions also have top-secret identities. So, how do we prove they are really from the CIA? The simplest and most direct way is to preserve a DNA record from the very beginning of the mission, proving that this person is a CIA agent and is executing a CIA top-secret mission. All these details would be included in the record."

After briefly explaining, Crawford smiled and said, "You probably know all this, right? So, the safest way would be for you to leave a record of your biological information. That way, no matter what happens in the future, at least it can prove that you are our informant, hmm, someone carrying out a top-secret mission."

Gao Yi thought for a moment and asked, "So, what kind of top-secret mission should I be an executor of?"

"This can be completely tailored for you. For example, if you have close ties with Saudi, then we could formulate a plan for you to go undercover in Saudi. The better you blend in there, the more successful our plan would be. Of course, I’m just giving an example; it could be other missions, like you being responsible for uncovering the supporters behind Khalid’s arm."

Crawford waved his hand and said, "It all depends on what’s needed."

Gao Yi thought again and said, "Let’s not leave any biological information; I’m satisfied as long as no one can easily find out my background."

"I can’t guarantee other units, but starting now, neither the CIA nor the Dark Web will be able to trace the information of the Warhammer Mercenary Group."

Ten million dollars is definitely worth it.

The funny thing is, Gao Yi doesn’t care much about the money. He is willing to throw ten million just to make a good impression.

Crawford doesn’t take masking an identity seriously either, as it’s something his higher-ups could easily handle; with just a thought, he can do it.

What they don’t care about is exactly what the other considers most crucial, leading both sides to be very satisfied, thinking it’s a particularly worthwhile deal.

Crawford looked at his watch; already five minutes had passed.

Crawford hurriedly said, "I’m sorry, but this meeting really can’t last too long. I need to rush back soon, so this meeting is just to show the sincerity of our willingness to cooperate. For the specifics, you still have to discuss with Joelson."

"That’s fine, no problem."

Crawford put down his hand, speeding up his pace, saying, "The important thing is to deal quickly with the issue of Freedom Wind; I hope you’re already prepared since this is also your biggest threat."

Dealing with Freedom Wind is just about addressing the Freedom Wind issue.

In reality, Gao Yi doesn’t care too much about it, but he definitely responded seriously, "Of course, I’ll resolve it as soon as possible. Please send me the information sooner so that I can develop a targeted solution."

"I will, and very soon."

After finishing, Crawford stared at Lucy for the third time, hesitated a moment and then finally asked, "This lady is..."

"My assistant, my woman."

He intended to just mention ’my assistant’, but seeing Crawford’s look, Gao Yi naturally added ’my woman.’

Crawford seemed a bit disappointed, but soon sincerely said, "Sometimes, I really envy you... your kind of life."

Stuck at the sight of a beautiful woman, huh.

Gao Yi indifferently said, "Men all like beautiful women, the good news is, regardless of gender, everyone loves money."

Crawford couldn’t help laughing and said, "Yes, yes, that’s it then, I’m sorry I have to leave now, but if you’re not in a hurry, I hope we can arrange to meet again soon. Oh, sorry, may we exchange phone numbers? This is my personal number."

Before Gao Yi could respond, Crawford pulled out a slip of paper with a number written on it.

This was clearly an official statement—it meant contact me anytime directly.

Gao Yi wasn’t prepared with a slip of paper, as he wasn’t accustomed to such old-fashioned methods.

"I’ll call you; it’s a very secure number, contact me anytime."

Gao Yi pocketed the slip without returning a business card or slip in kind.

Crawford didn’t say much more. He took another secretive, quick glance at Lucy, then said, "I have to leave now, goodbye, and thanks, goodbye."

After shaking hands once again, Crawford turned and quickly left. Then Joelson approached from about four or five meters away and, reaching Gao Yi, whispered, "He was hesitating all along, only deciding ten minutes before seeing you, and the reason he finally decided was that I told him you would definitely have a generous gift. It seems he’s very pleased now."

Gao Yi, taken aback, said, "You didn’t tell him about the ten million-dollar meeting gift beforehand?"

Joelson sighed and said, "No, because if he heard the number ten million, it might have scared him. Actually, I didn’t expect you to really give ten million; I hinted that it should be at least a couple hundred thousand, and that already moved him greatly."

What could Gao Yi say—no wonder Crawford was so put off; he wasn’t mentally prepared.

"What’s he rushing back to do?"

"I’m not sure, but he must have taken some security precautions and now needs to rush back to cancel them. Also, he probably needs to hurry back to report to the deputy director."

Joelson finished speaking and then suddenly sighed, saying, "Honestly, um, I’m quite disappointed in him now. I just feel he isn’t as capable as I thought."

Another one harboring thoughts of replacing his superior.

But what was wrong with that? Seeing an opportunity and harboring thoughts of replacing a superior’s position was normal, something worth nurturing.

Already corrupted, no, more like on the same dusty path. If Martin can, if Grins can, then Joelson can swiftly climb up too.

Gao Yi patted Joelson on the arm and said, "I know what you’re thinking; believe me, you’re already on the fast track. In just a few years, your position will be higher than his."
