Mercenary’s War

Chapter 2311 - 2287: Absolutely Fantastic

Murphy might have been hinting at something, or maybe he was just spontaneously expressing his feelings. Recently, Murphy had been acting a bit neurotic, which made Gao Yang uncertain about what Murphy really meant.

So, Gao Yang simply decided not to worry about whether Murphy had any hidden meanings. In any case, Murphy made sense, and Gao Yang also felt that it was indeed time to settle down for a few days.

He returned to the airport and picked up Joseph, and the two of them went back to New York.

From start to finish, Joseph, who had been waiting at the airport for a whole day and night, didn’t utter a word or ask anything. Gao Yang was quite satisfied with Joseph’s attitude, very satisfied indeed.

When they got back to New York, it was still daylight. Naturally, after getting off the plane, the first thing was to meet with Glolov and the others, to tell Taylor what had happened and what the countermeasures were.

After dealing with the serious matters, when Gao Yang got home, he found Yelena already eagerly waiting for him.

"Don’t you have classes to attend?"

"No, because it’s summer vacation, darling."

Gao Yang patted his head and laughed, "Sorry, I’ve been away from school for too long. Now, let me pack up. We’ll take our plane to Portland and then head to our ranch."

The idea of going to the ranch excited Yelena, and she immediately pulled out a suitcase, exclaiming, "I’ve already packed for you. Our things are all in one case."

Gao Yang nodded and smiled, "Very good, then I’ll have the plane ready now. We should be able to take off in about two hours."

Gao Yang was really a bit worn out. Spending some relaxed time with Yelena was very important to him right now.

Of course, he wasn’t tired of Yelena, he was tired of everything else.

One crisis after another, trouble piling up one after the other, Gao Yang was already feeling overwhelmed.

Nobody and nothing goes smoothly all the time. The Satan Mercenary Corps had done quite a few significant things without attracting attention, and everything went smoothly. But as the saying goes, if you walk by the river often, you’re bound to get your shoes wet.

No matter how well Satan kept things under wraps, many of those actions were already carried out. Even though nobody knows now that it was Satan, every country involved must find out who did it. So, while Satan hasn’t been exposed yet, many people are working hard to drag him from behind the shadows.

Taylor being investigated was just the beginning. In the foreseeable future, unless Satan stops his actions, he will be exposed sooner or later.

So Gao Yang was really under a lot of pressure, and he really needed an environment where he could completely relax.

Since he was planning to enjoy some time alone, Joseph obviously couldn’t tag along. Gao Yang turned towards Joseph, who was always close by, and said, "You don’t need to follow me for the upcoming time. If you have personal matters to deal with, go handle them now. If not, then go report to Somalia now, someone will take you there."

Joseph said softly, "No, boss. Wherever you are, I am there."

Gao Yang waved his hand, "I’m going somewhere very safe, and your work must not interfere with the life I need."

Joseph shook his head and replied softly, "Boss, my job is to protect you around the clock. I know sometimes you may find my presence annoying, but I assure you that you don’t have to mind me. Consider me invisible. You have to get used to this life, and it’s much better to get used to me when you’re safe than when you’re in danger."

Gao Yang exhaled and said, "Some things are more important to me than safety. Can you understand that?"

Joseph frowned, and Gao Yang patted his shoulder, "So, don’t argue with me anymore. Do as I say, find Little Donnie, he’ll tell you what to do. Now, turn around, head out, goodbye."

Joseph hesitated for a moment, but eventually nodded, turned around, and left.

Gao Yang let out a long sigh and smiled, "This guy, if you don’t get a bit tough, he won’t listen to you at all."

Yelena said worriedly, "But isn’t he there to protect you?"

Gao Yang looked at Yelena, smiled, and said confidently, "Having him around does make things a lot easier, but do you think I need someone to protect me?"

Yelena immediately laughed, gave Gao Yang a kiss on the cheek, and said proudly, "Of course not! You’re the best!"

Gao Yang laughed heartily, and just at that moment, his phone rang.

His heart tightened at first, given all the recent incidents, the ringing phone made Gao Yang nervous, but once he answered the call, he felt relieved.

"Was it you who specially arranged for that chef to be sent here?"

"Yes, why?"

The call was from Yarebin, and Gao Yang didn’t understand why he was asking about Liang Dong, so he instinctively thought something might have gone wrong with Liang Dong.

"That’s fantastic!"

Yarebin was rarely excited, but this time he spoke in an unusually appreciative tone, "This is the best thing you’ve done since I’ve known you!"

Gao Yang let out a long breath and laughed, "Oh, I thought something had gone wrong."

Yarebin sounded extremely happy, exclaiming, "I’m getting older, and many things are no longer suitable for me to eat. That chef made me beef porridge. I don’t know what it’s called, but it was really amazing!"

Gao Yang laughed and said, "Great, I’m really glad you’re happy."

Liang Dong went to Somalia, but he doesn’t cook for everyone. First and foremost, he looks after Yarebin, as long as Yarebin needs, Liang Dong will make special arrangements for him. Then, of course, the Satan people left in Somalia can enjoy it too.

It seems that Yarebin was very satisfied, extremely satisfied, so much so that he called Gao Yang specifically to commend him.

But Yarebin apparently hadn’t finished praising Liang Dong. He continued enthusiastically, "The porridge made of beef and rice was fantastic. I loved it..."

Gao Yang laughed, "Yeah, you should eat less meat now, porridge indeed suits you better."

"No! To hell with the meat porridge! What I meant is, I found my love – a dish called Guobaorou. I’ve had it before, but none can compare to the one Liang made. Liang said pork would be better, but there’s no pork here, so he used veal to make the best thing I’ve ever tasted in my life! It’s fabulous! Absolutely fabulous!"

Gao Yang thought Liang Dong wouldn’t make rich, greasy dishes for Yarebin, considering the old man was over eighty. But unexpectedly, Liang Dong did indeed make it.

Yarebin continued with great enthusiasm, "Listen, when you come, make sure to bring plenty of fresh pork tenderloin for me. Don’t forget, and just to say it again, the guy you found is truly great, absolutely great!"
