Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth
Chapter 124 Thunder from a Clear Sky_1

Chapter 124: Chapter 124 Thunder from a Clear Sky_1

Wang Ye was a little taken aback when he saw the heavily armed, towering security personnel.

Is Moscow this unpredictable...?

Why do these rich people all go out with so many bodyguards?

And they’re all armed with real weapons!

Something unimaginable back in his home country.

The journey from the Little Red Building to the signing ceremony at Section One was not far, merely over a hundred meters. Such a large-scale formation of protection seemed excessive...

......

Here at the entrance of the management office area, everyone was a familiar face; hence the security personnel did not enforce stringent security measures, and were a tad lax.

As they turned their faces towards Wang Ye and his company, Wang Ye suddenly had his eyes wide open.

Because he saw a man walk out from the corner next to the small building.

The man was a Russian, common in the big markets around, ordinarily dressed and wearing a black woolen beanie.

Wang Ye just casually glanced at him, but it was this glance that alerted him to something being awry!

Because the Russian was quickly pulling out a black object from his coat.

That was...

Wang Ye felt a sudden chill as his hair stood on its end, his scalp tingling.

In a flash, he determined from the direction of the man’s gaze that the target was none other than Khodorkovsky by his side!

But Khodorkovsky was entirely oblivious, striding forward with a steady step.

Time did not allow Wang Ye to react further, despite not knowing what he was thinking at the moment, Wang Ye threw his whole force towards Khodorkovsky.

At the same time, he yelled, "Gunman!"

Just as he lunged over, "Bang! Bang!" two loud noises echoed.

Khodorkovsky was knocked to the ground by Wang Ye, not yet aware of what had transpired.

Wang Ye’s heart was still pounding, despite the heavy fall, he felt no pain, the sweat on his back was pouring, soaking through his shirt.

Chaos ensued!

Big Head Kong, who was behind, panicked and bolted towards the Little Red Building, while Angelina rushed up, kneeling beside Wang Ye, nervously grabbing his arm, shouting something.

The security personnel reacted even quicker, the moment the gunshots rang out, immediately splitting into two small groups.

Two people rushed over, blocking Wang Ye and Khodorkovsky, and the rest immediately turned and locked onto the target.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The sound of popping beans erupted.

Wang Ye, lying on the ground, looked sideways to see that the Russian in the beanie was shuddering on the spot, as if he had been electrocuted.

In the blink of an eye, his clothes were stained with patches of blood...

He closed his eyes, unable to bear to look any further, his mind a blank slate.

All he wanted was to earn a little more money and enjoy a comfortable life.

Why did he have to get involved in such an incident!

Is this...

The day-to-day life of an oligarch!

......

Angelina, in tears, threw herself on Wang Ye.

She nervously fumbled around him.

"Misha... are you okay? Do you feel pain anywhere? Ah... your head is bleeding..."

Wang Ye didn’t have time to check his injuries, as the two burly bodyguards, each holding up him and Khodorkovsky, half supporting, half carrying them, quickly brought them into the Little Red Building.

Only after entering the main hall did Wang Ye and Khodorkovsky regain their senses.

Khodorkovsky pursed his lips tight, looking serious, but his eyes softened when he looked at Wang Ye.

"Thank you, Wang Ye. You were a lifesaver today, otherwise..."

He shuddered at the thought, having no idea what could have gone wrong if it weren’t for Wang Ye’s flying leap!

Perhaps there would be no chance to be frightened retrospectively...

He had a narrow escape by the skin of his teeth; Wang Ye had saved his life.

For Wang Ye, it was a true brush with death...

A bullet had whizzed past the scalp just above his left ear!

If the bullet were a centimeter lower or moved slightly to one side, the consequences...

After checking, Wang Ye too turned cold and his body started to tremble slightly.

He didn’t know what he was thinking at that moment, why he took the risk to save Khodorkovsky.

Maybe it was a subconscious conditioned reflex, after all, there was simply no time for him to think about it then.

......

After such an incident, the supposed signing ceremony naturally could not proceed.

Khodorkovsky sent Big Head Kong and two staff members for the formality, Wang Ye and Angelina did not attend at all.

As for the gunman situation outside, someone naturally took care of it and followed the proper processes, notifying the local law enforcement.

"You and the lady can rest for a bit while I make a phone call."

In the office upstairs, Khodorkovsky said sternly.

Now he had calmed down completely. He had a rough idea of who was behind today’s incident.

What was to be done next, of course, is to fight fire with fire!

These oligarchs, while publicly being law-abiding entrepreneurs and tycoons with immense wealth,

Behind the scenes, which one of them wasn’t influential and capable of maneuvering both the legal and illegal world!

Without a significant "capacity," it was impossible to get to where they were today...

Khodorkovsky went out to make a call, God knows what thunderous methods he would come up with to deal with the other party.

In the room, Angelina, teary-eyed, held Wang Ye’s hand, her lips trembling, unable to utter a word.

"It’s okay, can’t you see I’m fine? There’s an old saying in our country, ’A disaster avoided, and good fortune will follow.’ Ha ha..." Wang Ye forced a grin, comforting her.

It was better before. As soon as he said that, Angelina started crying, throwing herself into Wang Ye’s arms,

Her little hands clutching onto Wang Ye’s clothes tightly, she sobbed, "I... I was scared to death... If something had happened to you, what would I have done..."

All Wang Ye could do was gently pat her back, "It’s all over."

...

To be honest, Wang Ye himself was quite tense now.

Because of today’s accident, he felt like he had fallen into a "vortex"!

Some things, once implicated, simply cannot be extricated...

The person who dared to attack Khodorkovsky, an oligarch of that level, must obviously have powerful connections!

And he had thwarted the other party’s "good plan," it was conceivable that the other party might "remember" him too.

If someone was sent to trouble him with a gunman or something, he didn’t have Khodorkovsky’s armed bodyguards...

Two oligarchs clashing, and he was the "little ant" stuck in the middle; a little careless move by others, and he might just be "crushed"!

Thinking of this, Wang Ye started to feel gloomy.

He felt like yelling out, "God, stop messing with me!"

After a hard-earned second chance at life, he had wanted to be a wealthy, carefree man and enjoy his life peacefully.

Wasn’t his "start" quite good? He had almost become a millionaire, how could he suddenly land in such a perilous situation!
