746: Chapter 738: Mysterious Call 746: Chapter 738: Mysterious Call Little Donnie and Li Jinfang left together, while Gao Yang and the others went straight to the airport without even changing their clothes.
Entry to the airport was smooth, especially for Gao Yang, who didn’t face extra scrutiny for being of Asian descent.
Once inside the airport, they didn’t head straight out.
Aside from waiting for Cui Bo, they had also decided on a whim to go to Luanda Airport and needed to arrange for Morgan’s plane to land there.
Private planes are expensive to operate, not just to purchase.
Unless it’s at one’s own airport, you have to pay for every takeoff and landing, and usually a safety inspection of the plane upon landing is also required, which not only consumes time but incurs a cost as well.
Gao Yang’s trip to Pointe Noire had been arranged directly by Morgan, and a last-minute change to land again at another airport, as well as arranging the flight route, meant reaching out to Morgan for help.
In short, it was a hassle, which was why Morgan had many people dealing with such matters for him.
Using his own private plane, Gao Yang didn’t need to go through the usual security checks like other travelers but could use a VIP channel.
He quickly left the waiting hall and got onto Morgan’s private plane to wait.
Before leaving the waiting hall, Eileen bought a few newspapers.
Shortly after sitting down in the plane, Eileen suddenly exclaimed loudly, “Hey, look at this, that woman from last night, there’s news about her in the paper, says she committed suicide.”
Unexpected yet anticipated, Gao Yang did not join the idle chatter; he took out his phone and called Andy He again.
Andy He picked up quickly, but before Gao Yang could say anything, Andy He sounded rather annoyed, “Mr.
Thomson, I’ve told you not to call me during my off time.
If you have any questions about your condition, please call during my working hours.
Furthermore, if there are any new developments regarding your condition, I will contact you proactively.
Thank you for your cooperation, goodbye.”
After saying this in a huff, Andy He immediately hung up the phone.
Gao Yang held the phone in his hand, at a loss for words.
It seemed Andy He’s life wasn’t going smoothly, and judging by the secret language he used on the phone, Gao Yang was certain that the day Andy He would leave everything behind to join him was not far off.
Seeing Gao Yang’s helpless expression while holding the phone, Frey asked, “What’s the matter?”
Gao Yang smiled and said, “Nothing much, I called Andy He, but he doesn’t dare to speak openly on the phone.
I think he’ll probably be joining us pretty soon.”
Glolov let out a sigh and said, “That guy was never meant for a peaceful life.
For us, it’s a good thing.
Lads, just think about it, having two of the best military doctors.
I can feel a sense of happiness already.”
Everyone nodded in agreement at this sentiment.
Gao Yang smiled slightly and added, “Just don’t know when he can make it.
The sooner the better, I hope.”
No sooner had Gao Yang finished speaking than his phone rang.
Picking up, he saw it was Andy He calling back.
After picking up the call, he heard Andy He hurriedly ask, “Ram, where are you guys?”
The urgency in Andy He’s voice made Gao Yang speak faster as well, “We’re in Congo-Brazzaville, what’s going on?”
Andy He said urgently, “Wherever you are, I’ll come to you.
Book me a ticket, I’ll send you my identification information.
Let me know as soon as the ticket is booked, I’ll find a way to get it.
Oh, and I’m in Saint Paul, you must book a ticket from Saint Paul.”
Gao Yang asked quickly, “What’s happening with you?”
“Don’t even ask, I’m being watched too closely.
I’m calling you from the restroom right now.
Remember, unless it’s urgent, don’t call me; I might be forced to change my number.
Also, I have to hang up now; we will be in touch later!”
Andy He hung up again, leaving Gao Yang staring at his phone screen in astonishment.
Frey spread his hands and asked, “What now?”
With a wry smile, Gao Yang shook his head and replied, “Andy He, his situation seems pretty bad.
He needs our help to book his flight ticket.
No idea what trouble he’s gotten himself into.”
After speaking, Gao Yang put down the phone and announced loudly, “Let’s not worry about Andy He’s situation for now, as there’s no certainty on when he can join us.
Right now, we should focus more on Li Jinfang.
His emotional state is still very unstable, and I need to go to South Sudan immediately, but with his current state, I can’t leave with peace of mind.”
Glolov spoke with gravity, “You should go if you need to, it’s okay.
Toad’s situation is indeed tricky; making him forget certain things isn’t likely, but we can make sure he has no energy to dwell on what he shouldn’t.
I think it’s time to initiate a training program.”
“You mean start the training in Israel right now?
But can his leg handle it?”
Glolov was very firm, “It will definitely work, as long as his leg doesn’t get infected there won’t be a big problem.
Besides, he can participate in training that he can withstand.
Let him receive treatment in Israel while joining the training.
Once he has healed, we’ll train him so hard he won’t even remember his own name.
That will solve everything.”
Rafael chuckled, “Exactly, extremely intensive training that consumes a huge amount of mental energy, incredibly tough and painful; everything about it is extreme.
He won’t even care if it were the end of the world.”
Eileen nodded in deep agreement, “There was a time when I was very down, and it just so happened that I needed to go through the Devil’s Training.
By the time it was over, I had spent a long time trying to remember why I was upset in the first place.
So I believe it’s definitely going to be effective.”
Gao Yang rubbed his hands and said, “Alright, actually, we’ve had a training plan for a long time, we just haven’t been able to start it.
Taking this opportunity, let’s just begin the training.
However, it seems we’ll have to suffer through that inhumane training along with Toad.”
As soon as it was mentioned that they would have to endure tough training along with Li Jinfang, those who had experienced what they called ‘Devil’s Training’ all showed a bitter expression.
Gao Yang felt the same.
Thinking of the hardships he once endured in Israel made him feel genuinely uncomfortable.
However, Lucica and Tommy were unaware of the severity of the training, and although Rafael was a regular military man, he had not undergone the Special Forces training and didn’t understand the inhumanity Gao Yang was talking about.
Seeing the various expressions on everyone’s faces, Gao Yang firmed up his decision to go ahead with the specialized training.
With several new people joining, it was time they had some shared experiences and bonds formed from enduring together.
The camaraderie developed from surviving the Devil’s Training together and the feeling fostered from fighting side by side are different, and the effects are definitely not the same.
For instance, the people in the Satan Mercenary Corps who coordinate the best with each other are still the five who trained together in Israel.
Long-term combat together can also foster tacit understanding and friendship, but the effect is definitely better if the team has undergone tough training together before fighting as one.
Having confirmed that they would start the training immediately, Gao Yang said, “Good, then let’s start training right away.
You guys go ahead, and I’ll find you when I get back from South Sudan.
Also, our training needs to continue for a while.
If there’s a mission, we’ll take the mission; if not, we’ll train.
In short, our days of suffering are about to begin.”
Frey covered his face with both hands.
After a sigh of lament, he said in a pitiable tone, “I hope we have missions every day now, even if they’re for free.
Always free is fine too.
Oh, God, except for Rabbit, that freak, no one likes these days filled with nothing but training, absolutely no one.”
Lucica shrugged her shoulders and said, “Really?
I think training is great.
I lack a lot of basic training.
I find it quite suitable, actually.”
Frey, with a bitter face, said, “Believe me, you’ll regret it.
You’re not a freak like Rabbit, so you’re definitely going to regret it…”
Frey hadn’t finished speaking when Gao Yang’s phone rang again.
Picking it up, he saw it was a strange number.
He gestured for Frey to stop talking before answering the call.
“Hello, may I speak to Mr.
Fernando Patrillota?”
The call was from a woman, who spoke very gently, and although in English, had a hint of Portuguese accentuation.
Coupled with the typical Portuguese name like Fernando Patrillota, and considering all this, it was clear the call must be from Brazil.
In a flash of inspiration, Gao Yang cleared his throat and, with a deep voice, said, “You have the wrong number.
My surname is Thomson.”
Gao Yang dared not say his own name, just gave a surname because when Andy He had previously answered the call, he had directly addressed a Mr.
Thomson.
“Oh, I’m sorry, I got the name mixed up.
My apologies, Mr.
Thomson.
Have you arranged a time with Dr.
Pedro?
I’m only calling to confirm your appointment time.”
Gao Yang was about to go crazy.
He didn’t know how to continue fabricating a story.
By now he was quite certain the woman calling was related to Andy He, yet he had no idea what kind of lies Andy He had spun, and therefore didn’t know how to ad-lib any further.
So Gao Yang, with a slightly annoyed tone, said, “I can’t talk right now, and considering my health, I can see a doctor at any time.
The issue is whether the doctor is willing to take the time to see me.
As a patient, do you think I have any options?
Are you calling me to say you want to change my doctor?”
Gao Yang deliberately spoke ambiguously, and the woman on the other end of the phone seemed to heave a sigh before responding gently, “I apologize, Mr.
Thomson.
Dr.
Andy He will continue to be responsible for your health.
We have no other intentions.
I’m just too busy, which has led to some lack of concentration, I’m very sorry.
Mr.
Thomson, your appointment will be directly confirmed by Dr.
Andy He himself.
Goodbye, Mr.
Thomson, and I wish you a speedy recovery.”
As the phone clicked to a busy signal, and after hanging up, Gao Yang lethargically put down the phone and lamented, “This is exhausting; I really admire myself.”
Glolov asked, “Whose call was it?”
Gao Yang helplessly replied, “If I’m not wrong, it should have been Andy He’s mother who called.”(To be continued.
