Chapter 944: Chapter 949: Creating Atmosphere

Yang Yi’s hand rested on the telephone keypad, his fingers trembling lightly several times, but he couldn’t bring himself to press it.

After pondering for a long while, Yang Yi sighed softly, then placed his phone aside, stood up, opened the door, and called out, "Brother Yong, come here for a moment."

Anton and Zhang Yong entered Yang Yi’s room, and Anton, with a solemn expression, asked, "Did you finish your call?"

Yang Yi shook his head, his gaze lingering on Anton and Zhang Yong as he thought for a moment before speaking in a low voice, "I haven’t made the call yet. There’s something I want to handle first; I need one of you to help me with it, uh, actually, one person is enough."

Anton shrugged, "What is it? You seem a bit tense."

Yang Yi exhaled, thought for a moment, then shook his head again, "No, never mind."

"You don’t need it done anymore?"

"No, I’ll handle this by myself."

Zhang Yong gestured dismissively, "C’mon, all secretive—nothing to do then, let’s go."

Yang Yi escorted Anton and Zhang Yong to the door, then he closed the room door.

Before closing the door, Yang Yi saw Kate looking at him with a concerned expression.

Sitting back down in his chair, Yang Yi picked up his phone again.

Somewhat excited, somewhat expectant, somewhat fearful, somewhat uneasy.

If he really took this step, there would be no turning back, absolutely no chance for it.

After tapping his fingers lightly on the table a few times, Yang Yi suddenly pressed the send key on the satellite phone.

The call was quickly connected, and then a deep male voice came through.

"Hello."

"It’s me, I want to meet you in person; there’s something important to discuss."

"Can’t you say it over the phone?"

"No, it’s very important, and I need you to meet me under the strictest secrecy you can manage. If you think you can ensure absolute safety, you can decide the place."

"Absolute safety, can you come to the United States?"

"No, I’d rather meet outside of the United States."

"Let me think, alright, we’ll meet in Tunisia tomorrow. I’ll inform you of the exact time and place. Any problems?"

"No problem."

"Alright then, see you tomorrow."

The call ended, and Yang Yi quietly stared at the phone in his hand. He felt a bit lost yet somewhat relieved.

Yang Yi left his room, no longer showing the hesitation and wandering he had felt when alone.

"I made the call; we’ll meet tomorrow."

He casually announced the result to the others waiting for the news inside the room and then exhaled, "I’m going to Tunisia tomorrow. I’ll wait for the specific time and location to be confirmed."

The atmosphere was somewhat tense because Yang Yi had gambled everything, his very life and fortune, so the consequences of his departure were hard to predict, making it natural for no one to be at ease.

Some things cannot be hidden in front of the janitor, such as Xiao Ran and Zhang Yong.

Yang Yi waved his hand and laughed, "Why is everyone so serious? Isn’t this normal and something we should all be used to? Queen, you come with me, no, no."

Yang Yi suddenly changed his mind, waved his hand, and said, "Actually, Queen, you better not go. You stay here. Hmm, I do need someone to come with me, but you’re not quite suitable."

Xiao Ran, looking discontent, said, "Why not?"

"Because you won’t reveal your identity publicly. In this plan, Chris and Rodriguez will disclose their identities as they can’t hide it, and Brother Yong... doesn’t need to go either, nor do Professor Gweil and Hank, so it will be Chris, Rodriguez, and I. Chris will follow Boer, so..."

Yang Yi looked at Rodriguez and smiled, "Don’t you want to go and see your family? Well, now you have your chance. You are coming with me to the United States."

There were things unknown to all but a few key individuals, such as the janitor they were meeting tomorrow, along with Yang Yi’s full plan, which even Rodriguez was unaware of.

Hearing that he was going to the United States with Yang Yi, Rodriguez was initially happy, but then he started to hesitate.

"Can I go back to the country? But... it’s so sudden, I’m not mentally prepared. Should I prepare something?"

Zhang Yong patted Rodriguez on the shoulder and laughed, "Just make sure you have money, you fool. With money, you can buy anything."

Rodriguez nodded, then he said, rather foolishly, "I suddenly started feeling nervous, very nervous."

"Are you not happy?"

Rodriguez scratched his head and then said, foolishly, "Happy, but still very nervous..."

Zhang Yong laughed heartily and said, "Come on, what’s there to be nervous about going home? Well, going home seems to actually make you nervous. Don’t worry, once you start shopping with your money, you’ll naturally stop being nervous."

Yang Yi smiled and then looked at Kate.

Yang Yi really wanted to say something private to Kate, but when the time came, he didn’t know what to say.

He glanced at Xiao Ran, and then Yang Yi thought that since he didn’t know what to say to Kate, he might as well not say anything to Xiao Ran either, especially since he really didn’t know what to say.

Fortunately, there were people who understood the situation. Boer stood up and said, "I’ll arrange the plane."

After Boer left, Annastasia looked at Kate, Yang Yi, and then at Xiao Ran. After thinking for a bit, she walked up to Yang Yi and whispered in his ear, "Don’t leave with regrets, there is still plenty of time."

Yang Yi also whispered very softly, "One is easy, two is hard."

Annastasia shrugged and then whispered, "Make up your mind, think carefully about this departure... anyway, make up your mind. If you ask me, whether it’s one or two, just avoid leaving regrets. Think about Brian; don’t you find it sad?"

What Annastasia meant was that this departure could very well be a final farewell, so whatever needed to be said or done had to be done quickly.

But the problem was that Yang Yi didn’t have the courage.

Patting Yang Yi’s shoulder, Annastasia left, and then Brian scurried up to Yang Yi and whispered, "What did she just say?"

"Don’t leave with regrets."

"Right, exactly! Although two people can indeed be tricky, well... you decide for yourself."

Brian sighed, patted Yang Yi’s shoulder, shook his head and walked away, making it seem as if he was bidding Yang Yi a final farewell, clearly creating a mood of departure on purpose.

Zhang Yong looked at Yang Yi, then at Xiao Ran, and finally at Kate. He opened his mouth and suddenly said, "I’m leaving."

Anton also walked up to Yang Yi, whispering in his ear, "Did you want my help just now? Zhang Yong is useless for this kind of thing. Just come to me, I’ll tell you, getting two women at the same time is actually very simple. We just need to create some more atmosphere of life and death separation, and after we all leave, things will naturally happen."
