Chapter 2680 - 2654: Mental Preparation

With excitement, joy, and anticipation, Gao Yang and the other two left Karl Lagerfeld’s studio.

Bob was driving. He might have been the happiest one, clearly a little distracted behind the wheel. Gao Yang couldn’t help but tease, "What did you say when you said goodbye?"

"We agreed to have a drink together when we have time."

"That’s it?"

"Yes, that’s all."

Gao Yang was a bit anxious and said loudly, "Bob, a drink when you have time? What if you don’t have time?"

Bob cheerfully replied, "We exchanged contact info, we can communicate anytime; we can notify each other whenever we have time."

Gao Yang cleared his throat and said, "Joseph is my private security, my personal bodyguard; I want to ask you, do you think he has time for romance?"

"Doesn’t he?"

"You should know Simon’s lifestyle, right?"

Bob looked extremely surprised, then he shouted, "Oh no! If it’s like Simon, how can I have a chance to date Jody? She probably won’t even answer my calls. Katy is a big star, she’s very busy!"

Gao Yang clapped his hands and said, "Good, you’ve finally realized the issue."

Bob turned his head anxiously and said, "So what do I do?"

"Look ahead! Drive properly! How should I know what you should do? The rest is your problem."

Bob hurriedly said, "You have to help me, Gao; you can’t just leave me hanging."

Gao Yang replied irritably, "I’ve helped you to the limit, haven’t I? Do you want me to date for you too? Brother, I’m really busy. If you can’t handle this state, you might as well stay single forever."

Bob said angrily, "You’re not loyal!"

Gao Yang chuckled bitterly, "Bob, find a mirror, and tell yourself in the mirror you are a billionaire, you have tens of billions of dollars, there aren’t many women in this world you can’t handle, ok? Also, don’t forget you’ll get all the intel on Jody; you definitely can’t fail in these circumstances."

"Do I still need intel? Can’t we just skip the intel buying?"

"What do you think? An intel dealer and a mercenary, when they say something, it has to be what it is. Once you say you’ll buy, you must pay, even if you no longer need the intel."

Bob said distressingly, "But I don’t know how to start, if Jody is always with Katy, she won’t be in New York for long, and I won’t be in New York much either, I mostly stay in Portland. What do I do? A long-distance relationship? Or end a budding relationship just like this? Gao, help me."

Gao Yang said weakly, "Here’s a suggestion, have Jody stop being Katy’s bodyguard, otherwise you won’t have a chance."

"How to do it?"

"F**k! I should just go to bed for you as well!"

Irritated, Gao Yang spoke rashly, at which point Yelena looked at Gao Yang and softly said, "Hmm?"

Gao Yang immediately said, "I’m sorry, but Bob, this is you chasing your crush, okay? You need to do something yourself, you can’t delegate such an important task of finding a wife to me, I can’t shoulder that, brother! Don’t say I’m not helping you, try first, and if you really can’t do it, then I’ll step in."

Bob hesitated for a long time and finally nodded, "Alright, it’s settled then."

Gao Yang took out the satellite phone and said, "You drive to pick up Joseph first, I’ll call Little Donnie to arrange the plane right away."

Bob said loudly, "You’re the boss, since when does a boss pick up his own bodyguard?"

"Why so much nonsense, focus on driving."

As Gao Yang was dialing, Yelena softly said, "Little Donnie is gone."

Gao Yang slapped his own head in regret and said, "F**k! I actually forgot this."

Turns out, Gao Yang used to throw the trivial task of booking a plane directly to Little Donnie, but now Little Donnie has been protected by Yake and run away, and facing such matters, Gao Yang actually felt at a loss.

After a moment of thought, he realized he really didn’t know where to find a suitable plane to Yemen. Gao Yang urgently said, "Where should I find a plane to make my private jet go to Djibouti, pick up Eileen, and then come back? That would take too long."

Bob casually said, "Find my dad."

"Even an unrelated thing like this, it’s not appropriate to look for your father?"

"Then what do you do? Look for Simon, Simon can also arrange these things, no need to bother my dad and his assistant, Simon can do it."

Gao Yang thought about it, then nodded, "Flying directly from Aden is impossible, have Eileen go to Sana’a now, use a Yemeni plane to send her to Djibouti, then fly directly from Djibouti to New York, that requires a jet."

"People mixed up with you are really happy, everyone gets a chance to fly private jets, too luxurious."

With a smile, Bob said, "Should you call Simon or should I? If you plan to get Eileen back within 36 hours, you have to hurry."

Gao Yang held the satellite phone, hesitated for a while, then suddenly said, "Let Satan all come back after all."

Yelena immediately widened her eyes and looked at Gao Yang with surprise.

Of course, Yelena would be happy to gather Satan back, which means Gao Yang has truly decided to retire, of course, there is also her father.

While holding the phone, Gao Yang didn’t call, but instead muttered, "Eileen needs to come back; might as well have them all come back after all; anyway, it’s handed over to the Russians, next I need to see if Eileen can become a model, accompany Yarebin to live for two days at my farm, deal with Little Donnie’s matters... so many things. Since I’m worried, I might as well just retreat here now, even if Satan retreats and the situation becomes unstable, that’s the Russians’ headache."

Bringing forward the plan of a complete retirement again, Gao Yang felt his fingers particularly weak when dialing the phone, but he finally still made the call.

"Big Dog, could you all retreat?"

"All retreat? Now? Wasn’t it just Eileen going back was fine?"

"It would be fine if Eileen goes back by herself, but there’s no point in staying in Yemen anymore; withdraw if needed, early or late, doesn’t make any impact on the situation at all, while I’m here, I’m on edge every day, so come back."

Glolov was silent for a moment, then he stammered, "But I haven’t prepared yet, need some preparation after all; let Eileen go first, we’ll prepare and then withdraw."

Gao Yang said softly, "Nothing to prepare, pack the things that can’t be abandoned and take them, leave the rest that’s dropable."

Glolov said, "No, the artillery needs to be settled, and our positions can’t just be abandoned. Okay, it’s just that I’m not mentally prepared yet, need a few days to buffer, withdrawal originally had more than twenty days left, you suddenly want me to go, I find it a bit hard to accept..."

Gao Yang sighed, "Alright, have Eileen set off immediately, you all prepare, come back as soon as possible."
