Chapter 671: Chapter 645: A Bit Tired

When Gao Yi arrived, Yuri did not display any particular emotion.

"How is it?"

By rights, it should have been a significant achievement. Even if it’s not counted as a success, one must acknowledge the effort put in. But the Garden people are experienced; they know that the upcoming results have nothing to do with merits.

Knowing too much can easily get you killed. Deeply involved in the internal conflicts of the United States, especially now in the White House, to be honest, this situation isn’t very safe.

Gao Yi smiled and said, "Pretty good."

Dani and Sith looked tense, Lucy showed no emotion, while Yuri was very calm and composed, saying, "If you don’t handle this well, we might be dead next, especially since Little Andic has been taken away, which further indicates..."

Yuri waved his hand, saying, "It indicates we are no longer useful."

"Hmm, I’ve reached an agreement with Panetta, a cooperation agreement."

Yuri shook his head, pursed his lips, and whispered, "There’s no room for cooperation left. Panetta is sure to be promoted, and once he reaches a certain position, many things will be beyond his control. According to the normal process, he’ll either completely assimilate you or directly eliminate you. In other words, you either submit to him or get rid of him."

"Neither, I only mentioned that we could ensure his peace after retirement."

Everyone looked very interested, and Yuri suddenly said, "Oh, I forgot, youth is the greatest asset. Saying it like this, there is indeed a possibility for cooperation. How did you convince him?"

Gao Yi briefly described his conversation with Panetta, and then everyone showed a look of "so that’s how it is."

Until Dani suddenly said, "Wait a minute, you haven’t said what position Panetta holds now."

"The Secretary of Department of Homeland Security."

Dani showed a shocked expression, Sith shrugged, while Yuri’s face was full of joy. He said, "The higher you fly, the harder you fall. It’s good to lay down a safety net to prevent a fatal fall in the future. Very good, very good, there really is room for cooperation now."

Gao Yi nodded, and then, without hesitation, said, "We can leave now. Someone will take us away. We have to be careful in the coming times. If it doesn’t involve us, we should find a safe place to rest for a few days and wait until they resolve this."

Dani said immediately, "How is it possible that it doesn’t involve us? Since they are currently fighting fiercely, and we have already taken a side, this is when manpower is needed the most. We are just the tools they need right now. How can we be useless?"

Yuri said, "Not necessarily. We’re not qualified to participate in the top-level struggle in the United States, and the President doesn’t need to use shady methods against his enemies."

Gao Yi waved his hand, saying, "Let’s not talk about that. While we still have time, let’s divide the money first."

Money again, Sith couldn’t help but look at Gao Yi and asked, "Divide what money?"

"The benefits obtained from the notebook."

Yuri said expressionlessly, "We’ll talk about dividing the money later; now is clearly not the time."

By common sense, dividing the money now is certainly not a good time, as having the money in hand will deter people from risking their lives.

When you’re poor, you’re willing to do anything, but with millions or tens of millions as capital, who would be foolish enough to risk their life?

Gao Yi whispered, "No, it has to be divided now; otherwise, I won’t feel comfortable. I’ve decided that everyone involved in the notebook operation receives one hundred million dollars each."

Although surprised, it wasn’t too shocking; only the figure exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Dani was stunned for a moment, and then he said perplexedly, "How much? One hundred million dollars shared among everyone, or one hundred million for each person?"

"One hundred million for each person."

Gao Yi counted heads with his fingers, whispering, "You guys take four hundred million, plus Wind Vane, Xianyu, Lin Xianghua, that’s seven hundred million divided out, with three hundred million remaining. Give a share to others, to those who provided us with significant assistance from the notebook, give them one hundred million, and the remaining goes to Joelson, Grasse, George, and John. Everyone gets a share, the Garden earned a lot this time, and it’s time to give everyone dividends."

Yuri exhaled deeply and said, "Good, very good. It’s great to divide the money once there’s some, but evidently, dividing isn’t something that should be done now; at least wait until we’re in a safe place to do it."

"I’m only asking if you’re okay with this distribution plan?"

"Of course, I agree."

Sith was the first to express his stance, and he said earnestly, "Honestly, if you can give me the money, then allow me to officially retire, I’d be even more grateful."

Planning to break up even before the money is secured?

Yuri was most worried about this scenario, and he couldn’t help but frown.

Sith said helplessly, "I certainly didn’t join the Garden for money, but now that I have so much money, and you obviously don’t need me later, can you please talk to... talk to... talk to Marina, just to ensure I can truly enjoy this money if she agrees."

Sith definitely didn’t join Gao Yi for money, but Marina sent him here, and clearly it wasn’t as simple as a public task.

Who knows what kind of leverage Marina has over Sith? Anyway, Sith never mentioned it, and neither did Marina, so Gao Yi surely would not ask.

"Sure, no problem, once the situation stabilizes, I’ll talk to Marina."

Sith shook his head and shrugged, looking relieved, "I owe you not just a favor. It’s unbelievable; I always thought having ten million dollars was the peak of my life. Well, if I retire, truly and completely join the Garden, maybe I can earn more."

Yuri’s expression slightly softened, realizing Sith’s roundabout way was to completely resolve matters with France. From the sound of it, he still wanted to stay in the Garden.

Dani whispered, "Obviously, I’m not in it for the money either, but now that there’s so much money, maybe... should I change my goals?"

When poor, objectives are firm, but with money, they start shifting. This is normal, perfectly understandable.

Only Lucy seemed not to have heard anything. She is not sensitive to money, and as the boss’s wife, what’s the point of having money?

Yuri looked at his watch and said, "It’s not late to discuss it after we leave here. It’s time to leave. How do we leave? Where is the person escorting us?"

Gao Yi whispered, "Yes, why hasn’t anyone come over? This is too slow."

At that moment, there was a knock on the door, and shortly after, without Gao Yi and the others’ consent, the door opened directly. A stranger in a suit just stuck his head in and whispered, "Mr. Gao Busi, the director asked me to inform you that the President and he agreed for you to interrogate Little Andic."

Gao Yi and Yuri exchanged a glance.

There’s no way out now.

Interrogating Little Andic is just the beginning. After revealing information through interrogation, the follow-up tasks must be handled by Gao Yi and his team. That’s the main point.

It seems Panetta not only made a decision but also immediately put it into action.

Cooperation is steady now, but there’s no way to take a lazy break. It’s tiring.
