Chapter 395: Chapter 383 Debts

When the CIA raided Yang Yi, he was gravely injured and nearly died, so naturally, he didn’t have the chance to call Danny, and by the time he escaped from MI5, the situation had stabilized, so there still wasn’t any need to call.

But after Kate was taken to Tang Guo’s house, because the incident happened so close to Tang Guo’s place, the panicked Kate did make a call to Danny.

Danny didn’t say much to Kate, just a few brief words before hanging up, and his response had really pissed Kate off. She thought Danny was unwilling to lend a hand.

So, Kate never mentioned to Yang Yi that she had sought help from Danny, and she was still holding a grudge against him.

As a result, it was Tang Jianguo who told Yang Yi about the role Danny had played in this matter when they met.

So, after having a meal at Tang Jianguo’s restaurant, Yang Yi still gave Danny a call. He had wanted to meet up with Danny to avoid causing any trouble for him, but Danny insisted that Yang Yi come to the fancy restaurant to meet him.

Thus, upon leaving Chinatown, Yang Yi once again headed to the fancy restaurant.

When he saw Danny again, Yang Yi was overwhelmed with emotion.

"Captain..."

Looking at Yang Yi seated in a wheelchair, Danny nodded, then gently patted his shoulder twice and said with a smile, "It’s good you’re not dead, good you’re not dead. If you had died, my debt would have been screwed."

Yang Yi was at a loss for words.

Laughing, Danny greeted a few people and led them into a private room where they wouldn’t be disturbed. He settled down casually and asked, "Leaving soon?"

"Yes, I’m leaving tomorrow."

"Is everything arranged for the trip?"

"Not yet."

Given the depth of their friendship, there was no need to hold back. It was time to speak openly.

After a moment of thought, Danny asked, "Where are you planning to go?"

"The goal is Russia, but my identity has been compromised, and MI5 knows my background, so I’m planning to take a detour through France, catching a train to France then a plane."

After a moment’s consideration, Danny said, "That’s fine, quite convenient. Then I’ll leave you to it."

Yang Yi said awkwardly, "We have quite a few weapons we’d like to bring with us. If you have a safe passage, we’d still need to ask for your help."

Danny stroked his chin and asked, "Heading to Russia, huh? Got a lot of gear?"

"Not a small amount, several guns, but everything else we can carry on us. It’s just the guns that are tricky."

Danny thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Sorry, I really can’t help with the Russia side of things, but getting you to France is no problem. I’ll have Ah Ming put you on the train, separate people from guns. Once you get to France, you can pick up the guns again, guaranteed safe."

"Alright, thank you, Captain."

Danny sighed, his face betraying a sense of resignation as he said, "I had thought that from now on, you guys would just lay low in London. That would have been good, keeping close to give each other a hand, and also, being close, I wouldn’t have to worry about you dodging the debt, but now that your cover is blown, you have to hit the road, and it’s hard to say what will happen in the future."

Yang Yi replied with a bitter smile, "Come on, can you please stop obsessing over the debt thing? I’ll pay it back, I promise."

"If you had died, who would I have gone to? So, no matter where you are or what you’re doing, just don’t die, that’s all."

After chuckling and finishing his words, Danny glanced at his watch and said, "I’ve got an important dinner to prepare for today, so I need to hurry and sort things out. You’ve already had your meal with Tang Jianguo, so I won’t keep you for dinner. Well, that’s that, goodbye."

Yang Yi laughed and said, "You’re already making so much money, and it’s not even your restaurant. You’re just managing it for someone else, why put yourself through so much trouble?"

Danny patted himself and replied, "I take their salary, and look, being a restaurant manager is my main job, everything else is just a side gig, alright?"

After saying that, Danny waved his hand and said, "I’m off to get busy, make yourselves at home, Ah Ming, Ah Ming."

Ah Ming came in, and Danny pointed at Yang Yi and said, "They’re leaving tomorrow, you take them to the train on my behalf."

As Danny walked out the door, Yang Yi really wanted to call out to Danny to say thank you.

But in the end, Yang Yi didn’t say it. Major kindness can’t be repaid with just thanks. It’s more meaningful to show it through actions in the future.

It was only going to be a quick meet up before leaving; there wasn’t much else to do. Yang Yi and his group quickly returned to the countryside villa.

Yang Yi was a bit tired, his body hadn’t recovered enough to run around everywhere, so after changing his medication, he took a deep sleep first, only waking up in the evening feeling energized enough to deal with the remaining trifles before withdrawing from the United Kingdom.

Kate had been taking care of Yang Yi all along. It was a reversal of roles, as Yang Yi had taken care of her before, and now it was her turn to care for him.

As Yang Yi lay in bed, Kate used a wet towel to wipe his face, and then he whispered, "Call Hank over."

Kate went out and called Hank into Yang Yi’s room. Waiting until Hank stood by his bed, Yang Yi got straight to the point, "Have you made up your mind?"

"I’ve decided. I’ll stay."

With the Organization of Water facing transformation, whether Hank stayed or not wasn’t critical at that moment, but Yang Yi didn’t wish to ask further. He said softly, "Since you’ve made your decision, then stay. Please call Boer over for me."

Boer was summoned, and Yang Yi said gravely, "The place we’re going isn’t suitable for you. Have you thought about where you want to go?"

Boer said solemnly, "Give me some seed money, and I plan to try my luck in Frankfurt. Besides New York, London would have been my best choice, but since I can no longer stay in London, I’ll go to Frankfurt."

Yang Yi thought for a moment and said, "Why Frankfurt? Paris is also one of Europe’s financial centers, and we also have a safe house there."

Boer replied with disgust, "I don’t want to go to Paris; I detest Paris. It’s full of nothing but arrogant, ignorant Parisians, swindlers, and thieves. And the French, they’re always on strike. No, I hate Paris, so I’d rather go to Frankfurt."

Yang Yi considered it and said, "Alright, I’ll give you three hundred thousand US Dollars. You go to Frankfurt, and I’ll leave Gweil and Hank to be your assistants."

Boer exclaimed loudly, "Are you kidding me? What do they know? Having them as my assistants is worse than saying they’re there to spy on me and expecting me to be their nanny!"

"Well, since you understand everything, I don’t need to say much more. You don’t have to look after Hank, but you do need to make arrangements for Gweil."

Boer held his head in his hands and said weakly, "God, I feel like it’d be better to be discovered and beaten to death."

"If that’s really what you wish, I can accommodate you."

Boer immediately said, "Can you give me more seed money? Three hundred thousand is too little. Give me a million US Dollars, and I’ll return two million to you in a year!"

Yang Yi smiled and said, "I’ll give you five hundred thousand, and you’ll return five million to me in a year."

"Fuck! Have you lost your mind?"

Yang Yi smiled and said, "You owe me fifty million US Dollars, buddy. You’re in no position to bargain before you pay off your debt. Work hard, prove your worth, and don’t disappoint me."
