Chapter 492: Chapter 471 Balance

There are no walls that cannot be breached in this world; some secrets are just impossible to keep. Therefore, in Gao Yi’s plan, he never intended to hide anything from his own people.

The initiative is about recruiting someone from the KGB, primarily targeting Yuri. This must be clarified upfront.

But here comes the problem.

Sith, Dani, and Xinfeng all approached him willingly, and with them onboard, Gao Yi still insists on the tedious task of recruiting someone from the KGB. What’s the reason? Does he think they lack the ability or competence?

Gao Yi’s IQ may not be the highest, but his EQ is certainly sufficient, and a major indication of high EQ is considering the feelings of everyone involved.

After settling on a strategy with Huang Haisheng, Gao Yi immediately called the three individuals together.

Sith and Xinfeng had gone out to sightsee. It was rare for them to visit, especially as guests without safety concerns, so naturally, they wanted to explore historical sites.

Dani had just finished working out. He had taken a shower, but his body was still sweating, he changed into clean clothes, but soon after sitting at Gao Yi’s place, his hair got wet from sweat again.

Dani was quite unhappy about this.

"What’s so urgent?"

Sith and Xinfeng were called back from the entrance of the tourist area, but they had no complaints.

Xinfeng said calmly, "What happened?"

If it wasn’t something significant, Gao Yi would not have called them back, hence Xinfeng asked this question.

"I want to recruit someone from the KGB in Moscow to join us."

Gao Yi’s approaches were getting smoother, he seriously said to the three: "Now we have a good relationship and direct contact with Northeastern University, but we lack a reliable and stable communication channel with Russia."

All three represent the interests of their own countries, and from any angle, the expansion and strengthening of the Garden benefit them all.

Dani nodded, speaking solemnly, "Yes, it’s incomplete without the KGB’s intelligence network."

"I plan to involve Russians, especially the KGB. I know a Russian intermediary, and we are currently conducting a transaction. I plan to use this opportunity to reach out to the KGB through him, allowing them to join our network."

A transparent plan is better than a covert one, as it allows all ideas to be scrutinized openly.

Everyone is a beneficiary of making the Garden stronger, and everyone should contribute to its expansion.

Sith thought for a moment and said, "That should be fine, but dealing with Russians can be tricky. Asking directly might not work, and they might even suspect us."

Xinfeng smiled and said, "Since you brought up the idea, you must have a complete plan."

Gao Yi didn’t hold back or refuse to share the details; the plan was meant to be known and executed collaboratively by everyone, but he didn’t mention he already had a specific target in mind.

If there were specific targets, then the nature of the matter would feel different, so Gao Yi planned not to disclose this just yet, he would decide whether to reveal this later depending on how things unfold.

In case the KGB stubbornly refuses to hand over Yuri, Gao Yi cannot explicitly demand specific individuals.

Or if the KGB has someone better than Yuri, Gao Yi is not fixated on only recruiting Yuri.

"We will let the Russians come to us. This plan requires everyone’s collaboration. I am now contacting the intermediary, and if things go quickly, we will head to Moscow today. We’ll decide on the specifics once we get there."

In front of the three, Gao Yi took out his phone and dialed Sherkin.

Sherkin quickly picked up the phone, and Gao Yi whispered, "How’s that matter being handled?"

"Hmm, it’s progressing slowly, but it should be ending soon. I’ll make a call to hurry them up, let them deliver as soon as possible."

Gao Yi sighed and said, "Another thing, I plan to recruit someone from the KGB, I’ve mentioned this to you before, but now I plan to finish it as soon as possible. I need to go to Moscow, can you come with me? We can meet in Moscow to discuss."

The deal is worth three million, and Sherkin could get up to two million, so he was not particularly interested, having just earned a large sum, this little money seemed trivial.

Essentially, if things could be done and money could be made without going there, why bother making the trip personally? Especially since the internal injury inflicted by Gao Yi was still not healed.

"Uh, I’ve been a bit busy recently..."

Sherkin intended to decline, but Gao Yi directly said, "If this goes through, I’ll give you twenty million as a bonus fee; even if it doesn’t, I’ll give you two million as a hardship fee."

Hearing that there was money to be made regardless of the outcome, Sherkin’s first reaction was that it wouldn’t be easy money, so he immediately asked, "What’s the matter?"

"Just recruitment, I need your help to connect the dots. To put it clearly, I need to establish cooperation with Russia, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be the KGB; it could be Glou or the Foreign Intelligence Bureau. You are more familiar with the Russian side, so I would like to ask for your help."

Sherkin hesitated because with Gao Yi establishing direct contact with Russia, his importance would inevitably decrease.

Gao Yi said in a low voice, "What’s coming will always come, buddy. You help me out, and I will remember this favor."

It’s better to speak openly. Gao Yi definitely needs to get this done. It’s best if Sherkin is willing to help; if not, Gao Yi is not out of options. But after this, Gao Yi will no longer consider Sherkin for any benefits.

Sherkin had no other choice, he said softly, "I can help, see you in Moscow."

"Good, first come first served."

Gao Yi hung up the phone, then he said to the three people: "We are leaving today. Think over how we can create a sense of urgency and crisis for the KGB. The plane is ready; we’re taking a direct commercial flight to Moscow."

"Is Northeastern University involved?"

Xinfeng asked a crucial question, and Gao Yi immediately replied, "No, but they will provide convenience, as this transaction is to buy something for them."

Xinfeng asked again, "Can you tell me, isn’t Northeastern University planning to join the Garden?"

Gao Yi shook his head and said, "We can’t let Northeastern University join anymore, it’s not convenient, as you said, getting too close with Northeastern University would compromise my neutral stance."

Xinfeng let out a light sigh, saying, "Wise decision, I have nothing to prepare, ready to leave anytime."

Dani also nodded and said, "That’s good, the addition of the KGB will not break the balance."

Sith did not speak, because there was nothing for him to say.

It was evident that Xinfeng and the others were very concerned about the composition of the Garden’s personnel, today was also an opportunity for everyone to make their stance clear.

Gao Yi’s core group includes several Chinese people, this was fine, as Dani and the others could accept it, as long as it wasn’t a direct appointment from Northeastern University.

All that needed to be said was said, all that needed to be done was done, and the three people left, while Gao Yi gave a heads-up to Abdulla and Feng Biao, asking Feng Biao to take good care of Abdulla, and then this matter was considered settled.

What remained was simply ensuring Luca was ready with the money; Luca wasn’t coming this trip, but when it was time to transfer the money, Luca’s end must not slip up.

Next up was making the trip, hoping everything would go smoothly.
