Chapter 2652 - 2627: Emerging into the Open

"These files were handed over to the FBI by the CIA. They are requesting the FBI’s assistance with the investigation. The FBI handles domestic affairs, and although the CIA likes to overreach, it will seek the FBI’s help to quickly identify certain individuals in the US."

Although the FBI and the CIA are two departments at odds with each other, they are ultimately America’s two intelligence agencies, so cooperation is inevitable, and it’s quite common.

Murphy picked up an unopened file and pushed it toward Gao Yang, saying in a deep voice, "This is the financial situation of the Solar System Company. There are two large funds with problematic injections. Resolve this immediately and clean up your mess."

Gao Yang opened it and took a look. After seeing the two amounts, he nodded and said, "That shouldn’t be. These two amounts are both clean and safe."

Murphy said with a cold face, "Anything related to Grand Ivan is no longer clean. These two accounts have already been suspected by the CIA. A lack of evidence doesn’t affect suspicion, so make these funds’ transactions cleaner, and quickly! This must be done before the CIA starts investigating!"

Gao Yang nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

Murphy sighed, picked up another file, and said in a low voice, "The Solar System Company is still clean, and currently, there’s nothing suspicious about it. The reason the CIA’s interest in the Solar System Company is due to an unknown source’s intelligence connecting Little Donnie with them. You could think of it as the CIA targeting the Solar System Company while investigating Little Donnie."

Gao Yang frowned and said, "This doesn’t seem right."

Murphy, with a contemplative expression, said, "I’ve been wondering why the CIA is eyeing Little Donnie. I’ve already initiated an investigation into him and found that while he operates semi-openly as a mercenary broker, he has never explicitly marked any association with Satan, at least I can’t find anything unusual. So I started a reverse investigation from the CIA’s side to understand why they’re interested in him."

Gao Yang, somewhat nervously, said, "Did you find anything?"

Murphy, puzzled, said, "That’s the problem. Strangely, Little Donnie’s level of attention from the CIA isn’t particularly high. The CIA isn’t trying to dig out the Satan Mercenary Corps through him; they simply want to clarify his identity and understand what he’s been up to in recent years."

Gao Yang frowned and said, "I’m a bit confused."

"The clues are very messy and vague. The most troublesome part is that I can’t figure out what the CIA’s goals are, but during my investigation, I finally traced the root back to the Saudi Arabia."

Gao Yang, surprised, said, "Saudi Arabia?"

Murphy, with a serious expression, said, "That’s right, Saudi Arabia! I’m not very clear on what happened, but it can be confirmed that intelligence from Saudi Arabia made the CIA focus on Little Donnie. If the CIA determines that Little Donnie is related to Satan, they will personally launch an investigation on him, not just let the FBI assist. Why is that?"

Gao Yang, with a wry smile, said, "Yeah, why? Could it just be a coincidence?"

Murphy pulled out a photo with a cold voice, "The CIA is intensely searching for this person."

Gao Yang looked at the photo and exclaimed, "Krulney! Why are they looking for him again?"

"Yes, the CIA is actively looking for Krulney. The interesting part is that the CIA’s search for Krulney and Little Donnie is due to a piece of intelligence from Saudi Arabia. However, this piece of intelligence is quite vague, so the CIA is focusing its main efforts on Krulney, viewing Little Donnie as not so important. Our reverse tracking could only point to Saudi Arabia, but the specific person who provided this intelligence to the CIA and why they would use the CIA to investigate Krulney and Little Donnie is unknown. I speculate someone wants to identify who got rid of Tomler."

An often-neglected name resurfaced in Gao Yang’s mind, and he instinctively said, "I understand!"

"What?"

Gao Yang’s face began to pale, and he said each word slowly, "IS! Badadi!"

Murphy frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

Gao Yang said in a deep voice, "We took out Tomler because he set a trap for us. Tomler was connected with IS, and Saudi Arabia was transporting chemical weapons to IS. Tomler asked us to deliver the goods; once delivered, IS would eliminate us without paying and conveniently silence the witnesses. That’s how Test Tube died, but we survived."

Murphy lowered his voice and said, "You mean the intelligence from Saudi Arabia came from IS, allowing the CIA, through investigating Krulney and Little Donnie, to track down your whereabouts and identity?"

Gao Yang said in a deep voice, "Little Donnie was merely a small player at the time, so I was the one directly contacting Tomler. I speculate that the person secretly directing the CIA’s investigation saw Little Donnie as an insignificant figure. Those aware of this matter included Tomler, Krulney, myself, and Little Donnie. Tomler is dead, IS, or the Iron Madonna, must first find our significant enemy, which means they must locate Krulney!"

Murphy nodded repeatedly and said, "That makes sense!"

Gao Yang, with a grim face, said, "So, IS or the Iron Madonna came knocking on the door for trouble; I couldn’t find them, but they found me first!"

Murphy immediately said, "Where is Krulney?"

"He’s very safe, trust me, the CIA or IS definitely can’t find him."

"Then Little Donnie is even more at risk. The request for investigation assistance was just received today, and if the CIA can’t find Krulney, they’ll have no choice but to focus on Little Donnie. You have to make a choice immediately! My suggestion is to kill him to avoid future troubles."

Gao Yang shook his head and said, "Impossible, but I can immediately send him away, to an absolutely safe place."

After saying this, Gao Yang looked at Murphy and said, "Actually, the situation isn’t particularly dire right now, is it? The enemy’s attention hasn’t yet focused on the truly dangerous area."

Murphy sneered and said, "If it weren’t for me, if it weren’t for the cleaner, and if the matter continued to develop, think of the consequences."

Gao Yang said helplessly, "I certainly understand your importance, buddy. I’m just trying to say that with your intervention, things haven’t reached particularly terrible levels yet."

Murphy rubbed his forehead with a pained expression and said, "Your business is always difficult to handle. Let me think... The Solar System Company has many operations in Saudi Arabia, and if Little Donnie gets connected with the Solar System Company, then we’re really finished. The first step is to immediately cut off all connections between Little Donnie and the Solar System Company, clean up, and then Little Donnie must disappear immediately. As long as we act fast enough, we can eliminate the source of the trouble, allowing them to uncover nothing."

Gao Yang, anxiously, said, "I wonder if we could use this opportunity to track back in reverse?"

Murphy smiled at Gao Yang and said, "We only care about your safety. As for the tracking, that’s your own problem."
