you all look the same when you’re drunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But you’ve slept the longest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now everyone is already waiting for you in the living room.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang smiled sheepishly and asked, “Last night, I didn’t say anything inappropriate or do anything outrageous, did I?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yelena shook her head and said, “No, you behaved very well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suppressing his headache, Gao Yang said, “I need to use your computer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone sent me something.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yelena nodded and then handed Gao Yang a knife, saying, “A gift for you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My dad said this knife is good, so I bought one for you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was planning to give it to you last night, but you were drunk, so I didn’t.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang took the knife, glanced at it, and said in surprise, “Mad Dog ATAK?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, where did you get this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This knife isn’t cheap, but it’s really good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank you, I really like it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yelena said happily, “I’m glad you like it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s an outdoor sports store in Johannesburg that sells them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I ordered it online and had it delivered.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang truly liked the Mad Dog ATAK.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a semi-handmade knife from a famous American bladesmith, and its sharpness, edge retention, and strength were all top-notch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, performance comes with a price; the ATAK model sells for over a thousand US dollars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang had long coveted this knife, but he never expected Yelena to be the one to give it to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After carefully stowing away the knife, Gao Yang went to Yelena’s room, turned on the computer, and found an email in the inbox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened it to confirm it was sent by Morgan, and after reading it carefully, he pointed to the computer and said to Yelena, “There’s an email here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Look at it carefully, save it or print it out, and memorize everything it says.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In no more than half a month, someone will call you to go to the American embassy to arrange your visa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When that time comes, just say what this email instructs you to say to the visa officer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You and your mother must remember all this, and make sure not to get it wrong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yelena nodded and said, “I know, I will go, but you have to remember your promise.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After nodding subconsciously, Gao Yang realized that Yelena was referring to what he had said the night before, about going to America to marry her once she graduated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang smiled sheepishly and said, “I keep my word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I hear that the Juilliard School is full of eccentric genius-level people, so it looks like you will have to work hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once you’re in America, call Catherine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She will help you with the arrangements for what comes next.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yelena nodded lightly and said, “I will definitely get in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang felt there was nothing left to say, so he got up to leave, but seeing Yelena’s reluctant face, he too felt a deep sense of reluctance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hugged Yelena and gave her a brief kiss on the lips, then smiled and said, “Goodbye, wait for me in America.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Gao Yang turned to leave, Yelena, already crying like pouring rain, hugged him from behind and hissed, “Don’t die, don’t get into trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Promise me that you will definitely come back to marry me, you must swear you’ll come find me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang raised his right hand and exclaimed, “I swear I will live well, wait for the day you graduate, and I will definitely come to America to find you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After silently crying on Gao Yang’s back for about a minute, Yelena suddenly let go of Gao Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She spun him around to face her, wiped away her tears, and took his breath with a kiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A passionate kiss that had barely ended was met with Yelena suddenly biting down on Gao Yang’s lower lip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yelena bit down hard, causing Gao Yang such sharp pain that he almost cried out, but he ultimately held his voice back and let her bite him fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Yelena finally released her teeth, she stared at Gao Yang and said word by word, “Think of me, I will be waiting for you in America.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Visit me when you can.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And remember your vow, if you die, I’ll dig up your grave, then detonate a bomb by your corpse so we can be blown to pieces together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one will separate us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there’s not even a corpse left of you, I swear I’ll become a widow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remember my words!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying her piece, Yelena pushed Gao Yang out of her room and closed the door solidly behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing at the door, Gao Yang could hear Yelena’s muffled crying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang stared blankly at the door, unsure whether having a girlfriend like Yelena, who dared to love so fiercely, was good or bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, upon careful thought, Gao Yang realized he hadn’t actually confirmed any relationship with Yelena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he had said he would marry her, he hadn’t declared Yelena to be his girlfriend, even though it seemed she was now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While their relationship was ambiguous and everyone saw them as a couple, they had never formally acknowledged it, at least Gao Yang hadn’t; he hadn’t even once told Yelena that he loved her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang considered knocking on the door, but in the end, he gave up the idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned and walked despondently toward the living room, where everyone was waiting for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glolov still had a look of helplessness and embarrassment, while Cui Bo and Li Jinfang wore mischievous grins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Frey, he looked at Gao Yang with outright admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Bo coughed, then pointed at his own lower lip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang understood the implication and, touching his lip, found blood on his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After inwardly lamenting Yelena’s fierce bite, Gao Yang coughed and, covering his lip with his hand, said, “Is everyone ready?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If so, let’s make a call and get ready to go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Bo laughed and said, “We’ve been ready for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uriyangko has made four or five calls already; he was just waiting for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang nodded and said to Natalia, who was also in the living room, “Have you secured the money?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I remember giving it to you last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have given Yelena the details for your visa processing and the way to contact people after you arrive in America.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just follow the instructions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The money is secure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll take good care of Yelena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao, thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang smiled awkwardly and responded, “There’s no need for thanks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If no one has any questions, then let’s set off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I need to get some good sleep on the plane; when I wake up tomorrow, we’ll be in Libya.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1309,"2026-06-06T10:19:38.026Z",1,"novelbin.me","94cf9b6e49c354f37aa25b189a0003145d2b0494d94d1ca1c87355676549506d","mercenary-s-war-chapter-115","mercenary-s-war-chapter-113",2343,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmercenary-s-war-cover.jpg"]
