1161: Chapter One Thousand One Hundred and Forty-Four: Understanding 1161: Chapter One Thousand One Hundred and Forty-Four: Understanding Having finally stopped eating, Gao Yang found the ti to ask about sothing he cared more about.
“What about Peter?
Are those Russians still here?”
Farouk shook his head and said, “Peter left a long ti ago.
Not long after you guys left, he was sent back to Russia.
Then, the remaining instructors left about twenty days ago.”
After saying this, Farouk spoke softly, “General, before Instructor Peter left, he asked to pass on a ssage to you.
He said that he still owes you a favor, and if there’s a chance to et in the future, he’ll invite you for drinks.
If not, then you won’t get the chance.”
Gao Yang felt a sense of loss and spoke solemnly, “What ended up happening to his leg?
Were both legs ruined, or could one be saved?”
Farouk replied softly, “Fortunately, one leg could be saved.”
Li Jinfang let out a long sigh full of regret.
He could empathize with Peter’s plight the most, as they were essentially cut from the sa cloth.
“He just left a ssage and didn’t leave any contact information?”
Upon hearing Li Jinfang’s question, Farouk shook his head and said, “No, I think Instructor Peter probably couldn’t leave contact information.”
Andy He sighed and said, “It’s a pity, I still wanted to finish that bottle with him…
well, never mind, it seems there’s no chance now.”
After inquiring about Peter’s situation, there wasn’t much else that was urgent.
While having so chit-chat with Cutler and the others, Gao Yang spoke of the situation in Aleppo Prison, prompting sighs from those like Cutler and Dani, while Gao Yan used it as an opportunity to digest his food.
This pause lasted until dawn.
More than an hour later, Gao Yang dared to try standing up without causing too much stomach pain.
Barely able to straighten his back and unable to carry his bag, Gao Yang slowly stood up and carefully said, “I’m going to rest, everyone else can go about their business, no need to mind us.”
Andy He yawned and said, “I’m going to sleep, oh, my stomach hurts so much.
Binge eating is harmful to your health, but I still can’t control myself.”
Hasan quickly turned to Gao Yang and said, “General, do you want to take a shower?”
Gao Yang shook his head and whispered, “No shower for , I can’t possibly do that, I’m completely immobilized.
I’ll just sleep and talk about it when I wake up.”
Ignoring everyone else, Gao Yang, bracing his stomach, returned to his room and lay down in bed with difficulty, only to find that he was too stuffed to fall asleep comfortably.
Not sure how long he waited, Gao Yang eventually fell into a deep sleep.
Though very tired and drowsy, Gao Yang still had great self-control and got up just after twelve o’clock at noon.
After getting up, there was no way he’d be hungry; his morning al was still undigested.
Gao Yang had only regained the ability to move, and to have another al, the second big task, would have to wait until the evening.
After dragging himself out of bed and finding a set of clean clothes, Gao Yang, still groggy, left the bedroom and, after seeing Hasan waiting outside, said weakly, “Hasan, I’m going to take a shower.
Could you check if Major Dani is in his office?
If he is, please ask him to wait for there; I have sothing to discuss with him.”
Although not having hot water 24 hours, Gao Yang still enjoyed a refreshing cold shower in the airport’s public bathhouse.
After showering and getting dressed, feeling revitalized, Gao Yang headed over to Dani’s office in high spirits to take care of another important matter after arriving in Damascus.
Comfortably seated opposite Dani in his office, Gao Yang spoke softly to Dani, “Buddy, that thing I ntioned to you before, can you sort it out?”
Dani waved his hand and said, “Of course, it’s no trouble at all.
But do you really have to do it?
Major Sedov has been guarding the prison for a long ti.
Once he gets out, he’ll be a hero.
No, he’s already a hero.
But if he sends his family abroad, it won’t look good if word gets out about Sedov.”
Gao Yang nodded and said, “I’m aware of that, but you don’t know the situation inside the prison.
Let put it this way, Major Sedov doesn’t have much hope of coming out alive, and as you know the circumstances of their encirclent.
Frankly, I think it’s quite normal for Major Sedov to be a bit more pessimistic regarding the situation.
It’s understandable that he would want to send his family to a safer place.”
Dani responded gravely, “Yes, I understand.
But as for his actions…
well, let’s respect Major Sedov’s decision.
I’ll pass along the word, trying to keep Major Sedov’s secret as best as we can.
If Major Sedov unfortunately falls in battle, then there’s no need to ntion any of this.
If he cos back alive and becos a hero, I’ll help him quietly bring his family back ho.”
Gao Yang solemnly expressed his gratitude, “Thanks, buddy.”
Dani agreed to do this largely as a favor to Gao Yang; otherwise, he wouldn’t bother with such a thankless task.
To Gao Yang’s thanks, Dani just waved his hand and said, “When do you plan to leave?”
Gao Yang exhaled and said, “We’re leaving soon.
We’ll rest today and depart early tomorrow morning.
I need to make a phone call to arrange for a plane to wait for us in Lebanon.
I think there shouldn’t be any problems tomorrow.”
Dani frowned and said, “That’s so sudden?
The President is still expecting to et you, but the ti hasn’t been confird yet.
But if you’re leaving tomorrow, it will definitely be too late.”
Gao Yang force a smile and said, “Buddy, I just want to go ho now.
I can’t wait.”
Dani scratched his head and finally said with a look of distress, “Alright then, I’ll relay your departure for tomorrow upstairs and see what the authorities decide.
If the President doesn’t have ti, then so be it.
Let’s go, we’re heading into the city now.”
Gao Yang thought for a mont and said, “We need to take a helicopter to the city.
I’ll ask Colonel Kuteli to arrange a helicopter for us.
Let’s go to the hospital first under the guise of visiting the severely wounded and then leave by car from there.
How about that?”
Dani shrugged and said, “That’s exactly what I planned as well.
It’s better if fewer people know about the thing Major Sedov entrusted you with, after all.
Oh, I haven’t reported this to the higher-ups or told anyone else.”
Gao Yang stood up and spoke firmly, “Alright, I’ll go make a call, and then ask Colonel Kuteli to arrange a helicopter for us.
After that, I’ll co back to find you.
Oh, by the way, where are the pilots who will be receiving us?
Before we leave, I need to have a talk with them.”(To be continued.
