Mercenary’s War
Chapter 1349 - 1332: Just Hide

Chapter 1349: Chapter 1332: Just Hide

The meeting time Gao Yang arranged with the lawyer was in the afternoon, so after resolving the issues regarding Taylor’s identity, there wasn’t much else left to do.

Gao Yang really wanted to act like a hands-off manager, but unfortunately, even at this stage, he still needed to work hard for a long time. So, with nothing else to do, Gao Yang started thinking about what else he should focus on preparing for in the limited time.

As he thought about it, Gao Yang felt he ought to have an office in New York after all. After all, not everything can be handled in a hotel, and at present, the place they frequented most while in America was New York. But then he thought, renting an office in New York might not be as preferable as renting one directly in Houston. After all, his presence in New York was due to Yelena being there, just like how Frey and several family members were there as well. If work was a priority, then Houston seemed more suitable.

After a brief consideration, Gao Yang found it troublesome and decided not to dwell on these bothersome issues.

"Indeed, I’m really only suited to be a mercenary after all."

After inexplicably mocking himself, Gao Yang left Taylor’s room.

Instead of returning to his own room, Gao Yang directly walked to Number Thirteen’s door and knocked lightly.

To his surprise, it was Karima who opened the door. Gao Yang paused, then said in a low voice, "Uh, I’m looking for Number Thirteen."

Karima stepped aside from the door and said to the inside, "Offred, someone is looking for you."

Number Thirteen sat on the bed, looking agitated, and said, "I’ve told you many times, you should call me brother!"

Karima shrugged her shoulders, waved her hand at Gao Yang, and then left with a smile.

After Karima left, Number Thirteen looked at Gao Yang with displeasure and said, "What do you want?"

Gao Yang pointed to the just-closed door and said seriously, "Actually, it’s about her. I want to know if you’ve decided where she’s going to stay."

Number Thirteen nodded and said, "I’ve thought it through. She’ll stay where I used to live; it’s the safest place I can think of."

The place where Number Thirteen used to live was provided by Murphy, and it was guarded by a cleaner at the point of contact in New York. Indeed, it was the safest place.

Strictly speaking, Karima’s situation was still very dangerous. With Number Thirteen around, he could protect her somewhat. Not to mention, at least Number Thirteen could make her appear completely different than before.

Gao Yang saw a pile of cosmetics tossed on the bed and couldn’t help but laugh, "Are you two researching makeup techniques? Wow, I must admit, siblings researching makeup together is indeed quite rare."

Number Thirteen looked irritated and said, "I have to make sure she can protect herself! Don’t forget this is New York, and she was previously a celebrity. If recognized, it’s very dangerous!"

Gao Yang spread his hands and said, "I know, I’m just expressing admiration. In fact, I think your idea is quite good."

Number Thirteen waved a hand dismissively and impatiently said, "As soon as you come, my sister has to leave quickly, so... well, say what you have to say quickly."

Gao Yang spread his hands and said, "Actually, I have nothing else. I just wanted to discuss with you the issue of Karima’s placement. We all know she was a public figure and I’m worried if anyone on the Saudi side knows she exists. Her safety concerns are my only worry."

Number Thirteen looked at Gao Yang and suddenly smiled, saying seriously, "It’s good you’re somewhat conscientious."

Gao Yang said helplessly, "Leonard, you have to understand, I’m always very concerned about my friends, please don’t misunderstand, okay? Also, you and Karima are twins; there’s barely any difference. So please don’t keep pretending she’s a little girl who needs your protection, alright? You don’t have to keep emphasizing to us all that she’s your sister. We all know, very clearly."

Number Thirteen smiled and said, "No, you don’t understand. None of you understand how I feel. Actually, even I haven’t adapted to the fact that I have a sister. So instead of reminding you, it’s more about reminding myself she’s my sister."

Gao Yang nodded and said, "Considering your experience, this indeed needs some time to adjust."

Number Thirteen said helplessly, "Thank you for understanding."

Gao Yang opened his hands wide and said loudly, "So, all of Karima’s issues are resolved, right? I no longer need to consider how to place her properly."

Number Thirteen shook his head and said, "No, you need to help."

Gao Yang laughed and said, "Then tell me, I’m happy to help."

Number Thirteen said seriously, "She wants to go to school. She wants to go to Boston to take the Harvard Business School’s MBA program. Besides that, she also wants to take a course on business assistant training."

Gao Yang was taken aback and said, "Can she get into Harvard Business School?"

Number Thirteen was again aggravated and said, "Executive program! The kind you pay to attend."

Gao Yang frowned and said, "The kind of course you pay to attend, I understand that. But there’s a problem; this is too dangerous. Whether it’s for the credentials or genuinely learning something, the kind of people who attend the Harvard MBA program, it’s too dangerous for Karima to attend."

Number Thirteen sighed and said, "This is precisely the issue we were arguing about just now."

"Did you persuade her?"

"If I had persuaded her, I wouldn’t be talking to you about this."

Gao Yang sighed and said, "It’s troublesome. What are you planning to do?"

Number Thirteen huffed and said, "Karima is very capable. Just don’t perceive her as some beauty pageant winner that only gets by on her looks. Compared to her looks, her inner qualities are equally remarkable. Additionally!"

Number Thirteen stared at Gao Yang, lowered his voice, and softly said, "She has an entangled relationship with the Mossad; I assume you understand, right?"

Gao Yang nodded lightly and said softly, "Yes, I know."

Number Thirteen said softly, "She’s not a Mossad operative, but she’s provided Mossad with lots of information for free. Now, what I’m worried about is whether Mossad also intends to find her—that’s a concern."

Gao Yang rubbed his forehead and said, "This is more complicated than I thought. I assumed her relationship with Mossad was simple. I didn’t expect she’d provide information to Mossad. F**k, that’s quite troublesome."

Number Thirteen waggled his finger with a stern face and said, "Any intelligence agency, no matter which country, anyone involved in intelligence isn’t simple, especially Mossad."

Involving Mossad, Gao Yang’s connections with Israel were all superficial and useless, so Gao Yang didn’t waste words. He said directly, "What are you planning to do?"

Number Thirteen spread his hands and said, "What else can I do? Fake name, fake identity, new appearance, attempt to stay out of the public eye for a few years, what else can I do?"
