new York.

Gao Yi seldom comes to New York, but this time he wants to meet with Panetta, and the CIA headquarters is not too far from New York, so New York becomes an almost inevitable meeting place.

As for Washington, it was too close to Langley and unsafe.

Arriving in the United States means arriving at the dark web's headquarters. Although Gao Yi has hidden his whereabouts well enough, he still has to be careful.

Gao Yi was accompanied by Yuri and Danny, and of course, Lucy was also there. When they arrived in New York and were looking for a place to live, Gao Yi discovered why the characteristics of the people around him were so obvious.

Yuri is short, thin and small, Danny is too fat, and Xinfeng looks normal, but he is the only one who is relatively normal.

As for Lucy, her problem was, of course, that she was too pretty.

No wonder Yuri can only work behind the scenes. Even makeup can’t save his image.

No wonder Lucy is so beautiful but still just a consumable, because her image is too vivid. After being used once or twice, she basically loses the possibility of being a killer, so it is better to keep her and use her for one big job before scrapping her.

Normally it wouldn't be a big deal, but when you need to hide your whereabouts in the enemy's base, it's not a good thing to have people around you with overly obvious characteristics.

Fortunately, Yuri has never shown his face to the world before, and the dark web knows nothing about him, so he won't be in any danger in the short term.

As for Gao Yi and Lucy, they can only go out in front of others every day.

The meeting with Panetta was scheduled for the next day after arrival, at the hotel where Gao Yi was staying.

Panetta traveled with a small entourage and did not bring anyone with him. He quietly entered the hotel alone and met Gao Yi, who was heavily disguised.

Panetta can now be said to be in high spirits.

However, Panetta did not have the condescending attitude of a superior in front of Gao Yi. He was not a big shot known for his kind attitude, but in front of Gao Yi, he seemed very approachable.

"Thanks for your hard work."

"It's OK. It's not too hard. Please take a seat."

This meeting felt a little strange. Gao Yi asked Panetta to sit on the sofa, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Panetta looked around casually and asked, "Did you come here by yourself?"

"No, I brought everyone here because I thought we might need some help."

This brings us to the point. Gao Yi knew that Panetta must have a hidden meaning when he asked this question.

Panetta hesitated for a moment and said, "You did a great job with Russia this time. We gained a loyal and powerful ally, but most importantly, you helped me find a hidden danger, an enemy that I had never suspected before."

Gao Yi accepted Panetta's compliment, and then he asked directly: "Who?"

"James Jackson is not Mason's man, but I didn't expect that he would secretly deal with me and has already gathered a gang."

Panetta looked a little annoyed, and then he whispered: "This bastard has no conflict of interest with me at all. He can't replace me, and he can't even get close to me. I don't understand why he is plotting against me!"

"What is his position?"

"The inspector general who is directly under my supervision is responsible for the internal discipline of the CIA. He is under my supervision, but I don't know why he would plot against me."

It can be seen that Panetta is very angry, but more puzzled. He exhaled and whispered: "I have started to investigate secretly, but so far, I still can't find any clues, and I can't find any reason for him to deal with me!"

Gao Yi was stunned for a while, then he couldn't help but ask: "Is there a possibility that..."

"What?"

"He is the one in charge of discipline, and he suspected that you had violated CIA discipline, so he investigated you and targeted you. He was just performing his duties."

Gao Yi thought this matter was a little funny.

Is it that no one could imagine why an official in charge of discipline would investigate a superior?

Could it be that the position of Inspector General is just a decoration, a mascot, and no one has ever truly exercised the functions conferred by this job?

Gao Yi's words stumped Panetta.

Panetta was a little distracted for a moment. Gao Yi whispered, "The CIA is a large organization with tens of thousands of people. There must be someone who really wants to do something practical, right?"

Panetta took a long breath and whispered, "Just for the job? It's possible, but unlikely."

"How about transferring him from the position of Inspector General? Maybe if he is transferred to another position, he will start to focus on the new job."

Panetta was no longer confident. He thought for a moment and suddenly nodded and said, "We can change his position. This position is very troublesome. Let Joelson be the Inspector General."

Jolson is Panetta's own man and is now considered his confidant. It is not bad for him to be transferred to the position of Inspector General, which does not have much power but has a special status.

Gao Yi was a little confused, and he asked curiously, "Can the position of the CIA's Inspector General in charge of discipline be appointed by the director?"

“I can decide the candidate.”

Panetta looked at Gao Yi, thought for a moment, and said, "I have to continue investigating. If James doesn't just want to do his job well, but really wants to deal with me, or has been bribed and controlled by someone, then he must not be kept. More importantly, we must know who his accomplices are. If this is necessary, I need your help."

"no problem."

Panetta needed Gao Yi's help not because he couldn't control the situation, but because he didn't want to find someone within the system to do this. Anyway, he and Gao Yi had already cooperated deeply, and one more secret that could be fatal would not be too much, so of course he let Gao Yi take action.

Panetta was still a little shocked, because he had originally planned to let Gao Yi do the action directly. Since there was no way to quickly find out why James was plotting against him, he might as well just eliminate him physically.

As the saying goes, if you can't solve the problem, then solve the person who created the problem.

But Panetta never thought that someone would secretly deal with him and investigate him out of duty.

"James does know about Alekaev's existence, but how did he leak the information to Prince? Why did he join forces with the faction left by Mason? I can't figure it out. Investigations also take time, but I don't have enough time to wait. The danger must be eliminated in the bud."

Panetta was still very serious. He whispered, "James is not a young man anymore. If there is no sufficient benefit, he will not deliberately target me. So there must be someone behind him. I will hurry up and you should also be prepared."

"Well, just ask him directly, okay?"

"I will create a suitable opportunity for you. Wait for my news."

This is why Panetta called Gao Yi to the United States.

Panetta is a very cautious person. Once he finds anything unusual, he will immediately go all out and will never leave any opportunities for his opponents to take advantage of, nor any chance for them to grow and develop.

And this kind of thing is not a difficult task for Gao Yi.

"Since I'm in the United States, I want to check Lana Gadot. This person is very important. I think I should find a way to get close to him. It would be best if I could capture him and interrogate him carefully. However, doing so may have serious consequences."

Panetta smiled coldly and said, "What serious consequences can there be for a star? All it takes is a fanatical fan and a gun. You can do whatever you want."

"Okay, I'll start right away. I'm investigating her whereabouts. I'll approach her secretly first and try not to make a big scene. I think it would be best if I could persuade her to defect."

Panetta nodded, then whispered to the man, "I have too much to do. I have to leave now. You can do whatever you want. Be careful in the United States. The threat of Andek Group is always there. When we are free, we must solve this problem completely."

"Okay, you get busy first."

Gao Yi stood up and saw Panetta off.

There is not too much politeness, nor any temptation. Now it is a deep cooperation and deep integration. There is no need for so much red tape. We are really one family.

When Panetta walked to the door, he suddenly stopped and whispered, "You need to have a public identity in the United States. I don't mean you should be exposed to the public, but you need an identity that people can trust to cooperate with you. Why don't you take advantage of the few days you have to establish an identity?"

Just like creating a smurf account in a game, Gao Yi also needs to have a new identity in public to facilitate the transfer of benefits in the United States in the future.

Gao Yi happily said: "Okay, I will create a new identity in the next few days. Is there anything I need to do?"

"Find an office, register a company, and open a few company accounts. Even if it's a shell company, it can be used for many things in the future."

It was obvious that Panetta did not say these words on impulse. He said these words after careful consideration. However, the reason why he said these words before leaving was obviously because he was worried that Gao Yi would refuse, so he acted as if he was just saying it casually.

Gao Yi nodded and said, "No problem, I'll do it right away."

Panetta smiled, patted Gao Yi on the shoulder, and whispered, "We are friends. We will definitely not harm you. Goodbye."
