Chapter 2656 - 2631: Coward

A family dinner ended in a difficult atmosphere.

It should be said it finally ended. Gao Yang hoped to give Yalebin’s family a sense of warmth, but he found Yarebin extremely uncomfortable with this so-called feeling of family.

Long-distance travel is exhausting. He invited Yarebin to sit down casually in the living room, and then Gao Yang softly said: "Teacher, why don’t you go to the bedroom and rest for a while? Everything is prepared, you can sleep for a bit."

Yarebin hesitated for a moment and then smiled, saying: "I should rest for a while, but I don’t want to stay at home. I want to go to a hotel. I want to try New York’s most luxurious hotels, motels, and even cheap chain hotels. I want to try them all."

Gao Yang was stunned, feeling that since Yarebin came to the house, how could he still want to stay in a hotel? But, seeing Glewatov giving him a knowing look on the side, Gao Yang decided to go along with Yarebin’s wishes.

Little Donnie was good at reading the room, and he could obviously sense the abnormal atmosphere. So, he immediately said: "I’m truly sorry, I didn’t prepare a hotel in advance, but that’s okay. Please wait a moment, I’ll make a call quickly, the most luxurious hotel, the most famous hotel, the best hotel!"

As Little Donnie spoke, he took out his phone to make a call. Gao Yang immediately said: "No! Wait, don’t make the call!"

Little Donnie paused in surprise. Gao Yang thought for a moment, smiled, and said: "Joseph, go book a hotel right away. Little Donnie, just tell Joseph the number to call for the hotel booking."

Everyone’s expressions changed somewhat, except Yelena, who didn’t understand the key issue and sincerely said: "Mr. Yarebin, please stay at home. It’s only Gao living here; it’s very convenient."

Yarebin gracefully said: "Alright, I’ll consider it."

Gao Yang cleared his throat and said apologetically to Yelena and Natalia, "We have some topics to discuss among men; it’s nothing important, just some chatting."

Natalia nodded and smiled, "Then we’ll come by at dinner time. Dinner will be at home; everything is prepared. We’ll see you later."

Yelena and Natalia left. Gao Yang saw them off and came back to sit again on the sofa, where Yarebin said with a calm expression: "It seems something has happened."

Little Donnie was a bit nervous and said in a low voice: "What happened?"

Gao Yang sighed and waved his hand: "Indeed, some things have happened, but it’s nothing serious. Little Donnie, you’ve been watched by the CIA."

Little Donnie’s brow furrowed, and he said quietly: "Oh, no."

Yarebin remained calm and said: "The CIA?"

Gao Yang smiled and said: "Actually, it’s not so bad. The CIA has some interest in you, but they’ve tasked the cleaners with investigating you. Now the cleaners are responsible for your safety; they’ll handle everything. You might just need to lay low for a while."

Yarebin casually glanced at Little Donnie, and Gao Yang quickly said: "There’s really no problem; everything can be resolved. Currently, the CIA’s main focus is on Jim. Little Donnie, you’re just an add-on they are watching. Staying low is also for safety."

Though initially very tense, Little Donnie seemed much calmer now. After thinking for a moment, he raised his head and stared at Gao Yang’s eyes, solemnly asking: "Is just lying low useful?"

Gao Yang shrugged: "Of course, what else can you do?"

Little Donnie sighed deeply and said seriously: "I’ve never been in a war, but I know you can never be captured when you go out to fight. If captured, everything is over, especially with the CIA. I’m an agent, and I’m afraid of pain, not particularly afraid of death. I’m psychologically prepared for my work, really, I’ve prepared myself."

After saying this, Little Donnie took a deep breath and then said to Gao Yang: "I understand what to do. I will never betray you. If I betray you, everyone else gets screwed. I am not confused. Honestly, tell me how serious the situation is?"

Just as Gao Yang was about to speak, Little Donnie quickly raised his hand: "No, no, don’t say. You’ll certainly reassure me that there is no problem; I trust you, and I know your character. You definitely would say that, so there’s no need to ask. It must be very bad."

Gao Yang smiled wryly: "It’s not as bad as you think. Look at how scared you are. I have to say you’re too timid."

Little Donnie urgently said: "I’m not timid, but I’m not stupid. I know myself well, Gao, I’m prepared."

He took out a small pistol from his pocket, looking bitter as he said: "I’m not like you guys; you can withstand torture, but I can’t. I fear that if caught, I would reveal everything without even having time for rescue or silencing. So I absolutely can’t be caught. If someone tries to capture me, I’ll shoot myself, or bite this collar here. See? Cyanide, deadly poison, one bite and I’m dead. Both sides have it, I’ll, I’ll, I’d rather die..."

Gao Yang impatiently said: "Enough, I said it’s really fine! No problem! Look at how scared you are."

Little Donnie said bitterly: "The CIA has their sights on me. This means they finally know to dig Satan out through me. Knowing too much does no good, brother! I’m not afraid to die; my adoptive mother and Eliza, even if I die, they’ll be well taken care of. But if the CIA captures me and forces me to reveal all secrets, you’ll all be dead and won’t dare appear again. Then Number Thirteen will target me for life; oh my God, I can’t imagine what that scene would be like. I am indeed timid, which is why I’d rather die."

Yarebin looked appreciatively at Little Donnie and said: "Smart man."

Gao Yang shook his head: "Enough, sit down and let me carefully explain to you all."

Little Donnie sat nervously on the sofa. Glewatov casually sat beside Little Donnie, but after glancing at Gao Yang, he quickly rose and sat beside Yarebin.

After Gao Yang finished explaining everything that happened, Little Donnie was drenched in sweat and said weakly: "So, I really don’t need to rush to die, right?"

Gao Yang laughed: "I told you, this isn’t the end of the world. The focus is over at Krulney’s side. We still need to set up a sting operation; everything is already arranged. Yake will connect with you and take you to a safe place. Before the situation is resolved, you’ll have to hide for a while. That’s it."

At this moment, Glewatov gave Gao Yang a look and then glanced at Yarebin.

Gao Yang understood immediately and then said to Yarebin: "Teacher, this incident still needs you to oversee the situation. So, I’m really sorry your vacation trip has turned into a confrontation with the CIA."
