154: Chapter 153: Not Going Home 154: Chapter 153: Not Going Home Simon insisted on keeping the destination where Gao Yang and his team would be heading in a few days a secret.
Morgan sighed and said, “Alright, stop guessing where you’re going.
Simon has worked for me for nine years, and to this day, I still don’t know where he served or what battles he’s been in.
But all I need to know is that he’s very capable, and that should be enough for you, too.
You just need to know that you’re going to a very impressive place for training.”
Gao Yang said helplessly, “Okay then, although I guess we might be going to Israel, I definitely won’t be able to guess the exact place.
By the way, being tight-lipped is actually quite good.”
Simon, dead serious, said, “Long live understanding.
By the way, I should remind you, if you have special requirements for your weapons, you’d better prepare your own.
Gao, for example, as a sniper or marksman, I suggest you bring your own sniper rifle.
Staying familiar with your own weapon is a good practice.
Of course, I hope you’ll bring your shotgun too, because I still want to have a contest with you.”
“Understood, I’ll get my weapons ready.”
No sooner had Gao Yang finished speaking, Cui Bo suddenly exclaimed loudly, “Shit, shit, shit, my gun is still with Uriyangko, what should I do?
We forgot to ask Uriyangko to bring my TAC-50.”
Morgan said, “I need to sort out your legal identities for entering Israel first.
If nothing unexpected happens, I will go to South Africa to pick you up in four days, and it won’t be more than a week at most.
You can take these few days to rest and prepare.”
After motioning Cui Bo to zip it, Gao Yang said, “What’s there to fuss about?
We still have a few days, just call Uriyangko and ask him to send it to South Africa.
Fuck, if he can’t deliver, now that we have so much money, we’ll just buy you a new one.”
Gao Yang had great trust in Morgan, and coupled with the fact that he was truly exhausted, after sorting everything out with Morgan, he lay down in the comfortable chair for a good sleep until he was woken up when the plane landed.
Morgan had already arranged everything at the airport in South Africa, even finding a car to take them home so Gao Yang and the others could easily bring their weapons back.
After returning to the rental house and seeing a thin layer of dust on the floor and furniture, Glolov felt somewhat sentimental.
However, he could finally call Natalia and Yelena.
The first thing Gao Yang did was take a shower.
Frey went back to his own true home with his money, beaming with joy, now the only one among them who still had a real home to return to.
After Gao Yang had finished showering and came out, Glolov with two pieces of paper and a phone in hand said, “This is Yelena’s phone number, and there’s a letter left for you.
Found it on the dining table.
You can read it and then call her.
By the way, I didn’t peek.”
Since it involved his family, Morgan didn’t mention a single word about how he arranged things for Yelena and her daughter on the plane.
It was only when leaving that he gave Glolov a piece of paper with Yelena’s address and phone number.
Taking the phone, Gao Yang asked, “What did you tell them, did you mention our experiences?”
“I just told them we couldn’t contact the outside world, so we didn’t get in touch with them.
We had a leisurely two months in Tripoli.”
After knowing the kind of bullshit Glolov made up, Gao Yang went back to his room and first read the letter Yelena had left for him.
“Dear, I’ve been waiting for your call and I’ve been really worried, but I firmly believe you’re alright.
I wanted to stay until you got back, but I didn’t want you to think I’m just a capricious girl, so I’m leaving today.
Call me as soon as you can, and remember your promise, love Yelena.”
Yelena’s letter was straightforward, just a few sentences.
After reading it, Gao Yang immediately dialed the number Morgan had given him.
Since Glolov had already called Yelena, she knew Gao Yang would call her soon.
As soon as the phone connected, Yelena answered and had a long chat with Gao Yang, expressing her worries and missing him.
Their overseas call lasted for more than two hours, which was longer than Gao Yang had ever talked to Yelena before.
After the heartfelt phone call, Gao Yang felt a surge of happiness.
Now he had another woman besides his mother who constantly thought of him.
It was a nice feeling, and he was also relieved because not only had Yelena enrolled at the Juilliard School, but she was also performing quite well and getting accustomed to life in New York with her mother.
According to Yelena, all that was left for a perfect life was for Gao Yang and her father Glolov to arrive safely in New York and then for Gao Yang to marry her.
Next, Gao Yang called Uriyangko to arrange for the sniper rifle he had put a deposit on to be delivered to Johannesburg.
“Hi, who’s looking for me?”
Uriyangko sounded so listless when he answered the phone that it startled Gao Yang.
Every time Gao Yang saw Uriyangko, he was always full of energy and high-spirited, but now his voice was extremely weak.
“It’s Ram.
Hey, is that tired voice really coming from the vampire I know?
What’s happened to you?
Has someone stolen your gold?”
“Fuck, don’t you dare curse me like that.
Your gold will be the one stolen.
I’m worried sick about my gold being stolen, that’s why I haven’t slept a wink.
Damn it, I’ve worked hard all my life, and this is the first time I’ve had so much money.
Now I’m stuck in cursed Libya and can’t leave; of course, I’m worried about it being stolen; it’s a whole box of gold.”
“No way, I always thought you were rich.
Is a single box of gold that important to you?
Oh, right, I think I’ve missed an important point here, you mentioned you have a box of gold.
My God, you’re giving away a whole box?
That doesn’t sound like you at all.
I thought you would keep it all to yourself.”
“Idiot, only an idiot would hog all the benefits.
If I don’t keep the people who work for me satisfied, then I’m the idiot.
I love money, but I’m not Grandet.
Besides, thanks to you, I really am wealthy now.
So I owe you one, just say the word.”
“Deliver the TAC50 I reserved to Johannesburg.”
“With pleasure, you’re finally ready to pick up your order.
Thanks for your business.
Just pay an additional thirty thousand US dollars plus two thousand dollars for shipping upon delivery.”
“Alright, that’s the vampire I know.
You’re a millionaire now, yet you’re still asking for that mere thirty thousand dollars from me, and you claim you’re not Grandet.”
“Friend, friendship aside, business is business.
Besides, let me remind you, it’s thirty-two thousand dollars.”
