What have you prepared for Chapter 9

I ... ...

Yang Yi cautiously said again: "I can drive; my driving skills are very good"

Since it cannot be concealed, there is no choice, and the rhythm cannot be controlled, then it is better to speak frankly.

John Jones appeared utterly incredulous, then he looked at Yang Yi and said with a puzzled expression: "I don't understand. You say you've waited eleven years for revenge, and you want to enter the world of espionage, yet now you tell me you know nothing? What have you been doing for these eleven years? Just thinking about it? Young man, revenge is not something that can be achieved merely by thinking about it."

Yang Yi pondered for a moment, then cautiously said: "Is having a good memory considered a skill?"

After speaking for one hour, but waiting for two hours at the agreed café, Yang Yi still did not meet John Jones

John Jones looked contemplative as he shook his head and said to Yang Yi in a low voice: "Your father is a devil; he possesses the power to see through people's hearts. He has seen through everything about me, and he knows what I will do. Therefore, even though I truly do not wish to have any contact with you, I have no choice but to help you, because your father once helped me and even saved my life"

John Jones sighed deeply and said softly, "Well, I owe your father, and I can only repay his son. But I truly advise you, as the son of an information dealer, that the thought of revenge is extremely foolish and should not exist at all. Therefore, I suggest you better give it up."

John Jones asked the attendant for a cup of coffee, and then he said to Yang Yi: "Now that I am here, you can start saying whatever you want to say."

Yang Yi was even more puzzled, so he whispered: "I don't know, I only know this name, it seems to be an organization, it could also be a person, really, that's all I know."

John Jones wore a gentle and apologetic smile as he sat down across from Yang Yi and said, "I am very sorry to have kept you waiting. The weather tonight is truly terrible"

It is me

Yang Yi said nothing this time. Young people often possess a certain degree of overconfidence and a lack of awareness of their own limitations. However, Yang Yi is aware of his own capabilities, so he believes it is best to remain silent and not express anger too readily

Yang Yi immediately said: "I am not asking you to help me take revenge; I just need to enter the circle of spies and understand this industry"

"It does not count; having a good memory is a talent, not a skill. When I ask what you can do, I am referring to the skills you have mastered"

Yang Yi said in a deep voice: "I only learned the cause of my parents' death a few days ago. For the eleven years prior, I suspected that their deaths were not normal, but it was merely a suspicion. I have never taken revenge as my life goal, so what can I learn? I do not even know what I should learn."

He said you are trustworthy and left your name and phone number, but did not say anything else

John Jones let out a long sigh and said with a look of helplessness, "I truly do not know whether I am fortunate or unfortunate to be favored by your father"

John Jones said with a wry smile: "So you are just a complete novice, knowing nothing about espionage, yet you come to me saying you want to be a spy, and then seek revenge on an enemy whose identity you do not even know."

I do not know; I only know that my father was poisoned by someone and then disguised as a car accident, while my mother also died from poisoning, disguised as a heart attack, but I do not know who the enemy is

Yang Yi immediately said: "I have waited for eleven years, just for an opportunity, so I will not give up"

Yang Yi nodded, and John Jones immediately said: "What did your father say about me, whether it was in his last words or in some other way, in any case, I want to know what he said."

I really don't know

After a long time, John Jones finally said with a helpless expression: "Your father knew so many people, he was so powerful when he was alive, and I, in front of him, was just a small, insignificant, trivial character."

John Jones does not know the Gray Man

John Jones shook his head and said softly, "Young man, when you seek help, you should at least be honest."

Yang Yi's expression also froze, and he did not know how to respond

A hint of confusion appeared on John Jones's face, and then he murmured, "The Gray Man... what is it, or who is he?"

No, you know that you are lying. Please do not test my patience and judgment. It is understandable that, given your position, you are unwilling to clarify your words. That is why I am willing to listen to your truth. However, you are seeking my help, and I can choose not to assist you. Therefore, it is best for you to speak the truth.

John Jones used several words to describe his insignificance in front of Yang Yi's father, and then he finally said with a pained expression: "But your father actually left my contact information for you, oh God, I really wish he didn't think so highly of me, I'm just a small commercial spy."

Well, what about the others

Although reluctant to admit it, Yang Yi could only nod and say: "It is true, but the good news is that I learn things very quickly, I learn everything quickly. I came to you to learn, to learn everything I can. My desire for revenge is very strong, but I am not in a hurry, because I want revenge but do not wish to seek death, and I am not blinded by hatred."

John Jones stared into Yang Yi's eyes, and then he finally nodded and said, "Alright, I believe you only know this much. I do not wish to know who that man in gray is. In any case, I will never get involved in your revenge. However, now let's talk about your needs."

Indeed, I appreciate your willingness to meet me in such terrible weather

John Jones waved his hand and said, "If you want to be a spy, then tell me what you can do"

With great reluctance, John Jones waved his hand and said: "So your father knew that I had to repay him, and before his death, he arranged for me to be a fallback option for you, is that right?"

Yang Yi appeared very calm, while John Jones seemed to be in great pain

John Cook's hair at the temples has turned gray, making him appear to be in his sixties. However, his hair is meticulously styled, his clothing fits perfectly, and he presents himself with great elegance, giving a very pleasant impression.

John Jones smiled and said, "A spy is just a spy; there is nothing particularly special about it, and no one cares who you work for. Of course, 'spy' is just a general term, and there are distinctions within it. For example, I am a corporate spy, while your father is an intelligence broker. He acquires and sells intelligence, and strictly speaking, he is not considered a spy, but people like him are indispensable in this industry"

My name is Yang Yi

Well, Qiu and the librarian might be the Gray Men, just a possibility, I really don't know more about it

A man dressed in a trench coat and wearing a bowler hat pushed the door open and walked in. He glanced around and, upon seeing Yang Yi, walked straight up to him and whispered, "Is it you?"

The rain outside is quite heavy. The man who just entered took off his top hat, removed his trench coat, and casually hung it on the coat rack beside him. He then extended his hand towards the standing Yang Yi and smiled, saying: "I am John Jones"

Yang Yi cleared his throat softly and said, "I just want to become a spy, not the kind that serves a country, but one that works for myself. I don't know how you in the industry refer to it, but I just want to be a spy."

John Jones's smile suddenly froze, and then he shrugged his shoulders, saying: "Your father is not an easy person to get along with or to talk to. I didn't really want to meet you, but considering that your father sent you to see me, I thought it would be best to meet you; otherwise, I might have to pay an unbearable price, so here I am."

It is a cipher book left by him, and after deciphering it, there are several sentences and a phone number.

John Jones sighed and said, "Revenge? That is truly a poor choice. Revenge is entirely meaningless and will put you and those around you in a very dangerous situation. Therefore, I do not know how I can assist you. To be frank, if you are looking for someone to help you with revenge, then you have found the wrong person. I will never help you with revenge."

Yang Yi said cautiously: "Yes"

Yang Yi wisely chose not to speak. John Jones, with a look of helplessness, said: "If I may speak frankly, your father was not an easy person to get along with; he was quite ruthless. If he were still alive, I would certainly not refuse any of his requests, nor would I dare to. However, he has been dead for many years, and now you suddenly appear, asking for my help, which requires me to consider this matter very carefully."

Yang Yi said in a deep voice, raising his hands in a gesture of helplessness: "The whole matter is not too complicated. Eleven years ago, both my father and mother died. Recently, I learned the true cause of their deaths, and I want to avenge them. However, to seek revenge, I must become a spy. To enter this field, I need someone to guide me, and the only person I could find is you"

Yang Yi felt that he could not control the pace of the meeting; compared to an old spy like John Jones, he was as inexperienced as a newborn child, and attempting to control the pace was nothing short of self-humiliation

Yang Yi feels that he has always been led by others, but as the saying goes, he has no choice and lacks the strength to conceal anything. He is even unable to lie in front of others.

John Jones stared at Yang Yi, and after pondering for a moment, he said in a low voice, "So who is your enemy"

Yang Yi was at a loss for words. After a moment of hesitation and reflection, he finally spoke softly, "I may need your assistance"

It can be understood

There is nothing else

John Jones nodded and said, "Well, among the young people, you are considered smart. I was truly worried that you might be an idiot who knows nothing and is solely focused on revenge. It is a relief that you are not an idiot."

John Jones nodded and said, "This is to be expected, please continue"

Is it a last word

It started to rain outside, and the rain was getting heavier. Such weather is quite normal in London. Yang Yi took a sip of the freshly brewed coffee and casually glanced at the café's entrance.
