Chapter 545: Chapter 524: Human Face广

There are many tasks to handle, but the simplest and fastest is, of course, to find Rana Gadot.

As a celebrity, Rana’s whereabouts are all over the globe, but her main place of residence is in Los Angeles, and her primary workplace is also in Los Angeles. However, if she’s also a spy, then Rana’s itinerary becomes even more mysterious.

Fortunately, with information provided by the CIA, Rana’s location is almost transparent.

"Rana is currently in the UK, but she’ll soon return to Los Angeles for a movie premiere. She’s doing voiceover for a character in the film."

The speaker is Xinfeng, and he didn’t feel much guilt about dealing with his colleague because he didn’t actually know Rana, nor had he ever met this colleague of his.

Xinfeng calmly said, "We can wait in Los Angeles for her to come back. She has a secretly purchased house in Beverly Hills where she frequently stays, and a vacation villa by the beach in California. Based on her habits, she would stay in Beverly Hills."

"Are we going to her house to find her?"

Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "We haven’t been able to track down Wei Feng’s traces at all. Let’s guess, would Wei Feng go there and follow Huaxinfeng around?"

The people present were a bit speechless, then Xinfeng helplessly said, "Can this kind of thing be guessed?"

Yuri calmly said, "It’s quite obvious that the one secretly dealing with Panetta right now is Wei Feng."

Gao Yi had previously thought along these lines, but he wasn’t particularly sure. Yet Yuri was different; even if he was guessing, his guesses were well-founded.

"Oh, why do you say that?"

"Because only Wei Feng has enough motive. His boss is dead, his comrades are dead; for self-preservation, for revenge, he can only fundamentally solve Panetta, overturn Panetta from all aspects. Who else but him?"

Gao Yi thought for a moment, then frowned and said, "Makes sense, but it feels like... we’re becoming the villains of a movie, you know? Think about it, a dedicated agent who’s wrongfully accused, secretly investigating and fighting back to clear his and his superior’s names."

Yuri calmly said, "Not every movie lets the protagonist win."

Xinfeng smiled and said, "According to my understanding, history is written by the victors. I don’t care if I’m the hero or the villain, I only care if I am on the winning side."

The two were like-minded, echoing each other’s thoughts.

Gao Yi was speechless. After thinking for a bit, he suddenly said, "I forgot something very important. Everyone in the Garden has a flower for a code name. Now that you have officially joined the Garden, you should also have a code name."

Yuri pondered for a moment and said, "Sunflower."

"Sunflower..."

While Gao Yi was still mulling over whether the code name Sunflower sounded good, Xinfeng suddenly said, "The national flower of the Soviet Union, also Russia’s national flower."

Gao Yi shrugged and said, "Okay, then Sunflower it is."

Gao Yi was something of a spur-of-the-moment person. Just after confirming Yuri’s code name, he casually said, "So how do you think we can find Wei Feng?"

Yuri frowned slightly and said, "It’s difficult, but also easy."

"What do you mean?"

"When a spy is determined to hide, someone who can disguise, who has many false identities, can hide in any corner of the world. Unless he deliberately exposes himself, finding him is almost impossible. So finding Wei Feng is difficult, but if Wei Feng is unwilling to fail, it becomes easy to lure him out."

Raising his hand, Yuri said with ease, "To be precise, it’s about fishing him out. Now, Wei Feng’s main target is Panetta. If we have Panetta cooperate, giving them a chance to gather enough incriminating evidence against Panetta, Wei Feng should likely make a move, he won’t be able to resist."

"Just like fishing."

"Yes."

"But Panetta might not be willing to cooperate, and this is indeed a bit risky. Plus, it needs careful planning. Is there enough time?"

Yuri frowned and said, "Do you take a top agent for granted? Get this straight, if not for your extremely favorable conditions, I wouldn’t even consider trying to fish out a top agent. Time for such things is measured in years."

Having everything go too smoothly, now Gao Yi rarely considers timing in months, let alone years. Since he started, he hasn’t thought that far ahead.

Gao Yi shyly smiled and said, "Then could you devise a plot to lure out Wei Feng, as this is your specialty. No problem, right?"

Yuri rolled his eyes in exasperation, then helplessly said, "If I were as familiar with the CIA as I am with the KGB, I could give you a... plan! It’s a plan, not a plot. Don’t make it sound so sinister."

Xinfeng suddenly said, "I think Huaxinfeng likely knows Wei Feng’s whereabouts, or they might even truly be together."

Yuri shook his head and said, "Impossible. As long as Wei Feng isn’t foolish, he wouldn’t do that. What a spy needs is self-isolation, isolating all potential dangers."

Both had valid points, but Gao Yi was inclined to believe Yuri a little more.

Because thus far, Xinfeng didn’t appear to be exceptionally adept at intrigue and conspiracy.

With the same matter at hand, Gao Yi trusted Yuri’s judgment more.

However, considering Xinfeng is a member of Freedom Wind, he should be more knowledgeable about Wei Feng than Yuri, thus Gao Yi only leaned slightly towards Yuri.

"Uh... you both make sense, but in the end, we have to find Huaxinfeng first, then we’ll know everything."

Yuri nodded, then solemnly said, "So this time, we can’t just think about having a chat. If necessary, we can eliminate Huaxinfeng. If Wei Feng truly is with Huaxinfeng, we must have ample manpower to simultaneously launch two operations."

"I can command a lot of manpower, whether from the CIA, the Pentagon’s, or the FBI’s. Oh, and people from the Los Angeles Police too, that’s not a problem."

Despite having known him for quite a while, when Gao Yi listed one organization after another on his fingers, Yuri was still a bit stunned.

Xinfeng, utterly baffled, said, "I can understand you getting Panetta to send manpower to cooperate, and it’s not surprising the Pentagon would be willing to help. But do you also know people at the FBI? Let alone the police. Why would you know people from the Los Angeles Police?"

"Because... because... does there have to be a reason?"

Gao Yi said, looking helpless, "Please, I’m not even a special agent. I got to know FBI people first, and through them, I was introduced to Pentagon people, and finally the CIA, okay? Which means, in terms of connections, my earliest and best friendships are with FBI people."

Xinfeng waved his hand fiercely, saying, "What a surprise, so why are we still here waiting? Do we still need a covert operation? Do we still need a plan? Just head to Los Angeles and have the FBI surround Rana’s house directly. The CIA doesn’t have law enforcement authority in the US; they can only act secretly. But the FBI... we can even just make a fake report."

"If that’s the case then, I should be giving my friends some money."

Gao Yi felt he hadn’t been in touch with Martin for quite a while. Taking this opportunity to give Martin something to do and some money might be quite good.

Yuri shook his head and said, "Don’t use the FBI, use the police. Any reason to have the police go talk to Rana at her house is fine, or to bring her to the police station. It’s too simple."

Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "Rana is after all a celebrity, the police may treat her differently."

"That’s why she needs protection!"

Xinfeng hurriedly said, "An obsessed fan knew Rana’s address and posed a threat to her life, requiring police protection."

Gao Yi immediately said, "Send Dani, he looks quite creepy."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let’s move."

"Where’s Dani?"

"Next door."

"I’ll go call him."

Some things progress quickly because while talking, you realize it’s actually very simple. Naturally, simple things are easy to handle.

Previously, Gao Yi was very careful to protect Panetta’s secret and ensure that no one else knew Panetta’s identity.

But now, Gao Yi could let Yuri and Xinfeng know Panetta’s identity and even discuss issues with them.

Dani couldn’t be involved, because Dani would definitely report everything he knew to the Military Intelligence Sixth Department. He only knew that Gao Yi had powerful allies in the CIA, but he didn’t know exactly who.

So, when it came to discussing issues related to Panetta, Dani was excluded.

Yet, Dani was very aware of this, and he even knew to avoid it because if he knew too much, he’d be quite torn about whether to report it to the Military Intelligence Sixth Department or conceal it.

Gao Yi went to knock on Dani’s door and then directly said, "You go to Los Angeles, scout the terrain and environment first. Don’t worry too much about exposing yourself because you need to act like a creep to stir things up and get the police involved. That way, I can directly meet with Huaxinfeng to talk. If necessary, you might also have to take her out."

Dani was stunned for a moment, then said in astonishment, "Why am I the one doing this?"

"Because you’re the most suitable, with absolutely no other reason. Xinfeng has other tasks as well. If you don’t go, I’ll have to do it myself. Surely you wouldn’t want Yuri or Lucy to go?"

Dani exhaled and said, "Alright, then I’ll set off right away. But how are you going to impersonate the police? Do we need to get some uniforms, or perhaps a police car, or will the CIA provide them?"

"No need to impersonate. The Los Angeles Police Station will cooperate with us; it’s all handled by our people, so it’s easy."

Dani’s reaction was exactly like Xinfeng’s; utterly puzzled, he said, "Why? Why do you know people at the Los Angeles Police Station, and why can you get them to cooperate with you on this? Can you be sure it’s okay? That’s a celebrity."

Gao Yi confidently said, "Old friends, definitely no problem."
