Capítulo 1787: Chapter 1766: A Push, A Pull

Gao Yang was very sincere because he was indeed preparing to fulfill his promise.

Working at the risk of his life for years couldn’t earn him ten million, but when Gao Yang decided to give ten million to Gleyanov’s family, who held no practical value, the very realistic and utilitarian reason of setting a precedent was actually secondary. The main reason was that he felt Gleyanov’s loyalty deserved this treatment, and he wasn’t short of money now.

Gleyanov’s widow looked at her eldest son in dismay, and after Rebrov pondered for a moment, he said solemnly to Gao Yang, “Are you serious, you’re not lying to us?”

Gao Yang spread his hands and said very seriously, “I don’t seem to have any need to come here specifically to deceive you.”

Rebrov exhaled and then said loudly, “Thank you, then, please let my mother and brother go abroad. As for the money, to be honest, it’s not that crucial. As long as you can help them go abroad safely and ensure they can settle down securely, that’s enough.”

Gao Yang raised one hand and said loudly, “Just say where to go, the UK, France are nearby, while the US and Canada are farther. Just pick a place you like.”

Rebrov looked at his mother, then whispered, “Do you have a place you like?”

Rebrov’s mother said blankly, “Do we really have to leave? I’ve never thought about leaving Ukraine, I don’t know where to go, what about your grandfather and our relatives, what about them, do we really have to leave?”

Rebrov said softly, “Mom, this gentleman is right, Ukraine is very dangerous now and will become increasingly unstable. Going to a stable place is not a bad thing, especially for my brother, he should go to a safe place to continue his schooling properly.”

Rebrov’s mother grabbed him and whispered, “You decide, whatever you say goes, but what about your grandfather and grandmother, your grandfather, what about them?”

Rebrov looked at Gao Yang and whispered, “Can we go to Russia? And can we take more people with us? Hmm, you can save your money, my father left some savings. My mother and I want to bring more people.”

Gao Yang spread his hands and said, “You can choose anywhere, although I don’t think Russia is that good, it’s too cold there for me, but if you like it, no problem. As for your extended family, I will give you ten million dollars, with ten million you can do anything you want.”

Rebrov nodded and said, “Let’s go to Russia, my mom and brother can both speak Russian, we are Russ, so at least they won’t have a language barrier. Places like America and France might not suit us.”

Gao Yang nodded and said, “Of course, as long as you like it, then pick a city, Moscow, Saint Petersburg, anywhere you want.”

“Moscow, I still want to ask you to help my family members get there too, we will cover the costs no matter what.”

Gao Yang sighed and then spread his hands, “Well, let’s just say I only want to help your family leave because it’s my responsibility to your father, but as for others, I’m sorry, I don’t have that obligation, but I’m willing to help as much as I can. You go first, you will have money, then I can introduce you to someone who specializes in doing this kind of business, he can get anyone to Russia, and you will have the money to pay him. Just to add, I think if you want to send ten people to Moscow and get legal status, fifty thousand dollars at most will be enough, but I can’t help you now because I’m really, really too busy.”

Rebrov immediately said, “Great, thank you, please send my mother and brother to Moscow after my father’s funeral.”

Gao Yang nodded, but Rebrov’s mother said nervously, “What do you mean, you’re not coming with us?”

Rebrov shook his head and then said to his mom, “Sorry, mom, I can’t leave, I have things to do, I have, I only have a day off today, I need to return to school first, then, I have to report back to the team.”

Holding Rebrov’s hand, his mother tearfully said, “If you’re not going, then my brother and I are not going anywhere.”

Gao Yang sighed, he couldn’t stand this scene because he could empathize.

Although he couldn’t bear to see this, Gao Yang couldn’t say anything. He knew that Gleyanov’s eldest son, Rebrov, was serving in the Ukrainian Army, but what unit exactly, he didn’t know. However, as a soldier, more likely an officer, Rebrov obviously couldn’t just up and leave.

Rebrov looked conflicted, he whispered to his mother, “But mom, I really can’t just leave.”

“They had you leave school early to join the combat unit. I asked around, the 26th Brigade is about to head to the front line, and now the army harbors strong resentment towards Russ. If you were defending the country, I have no objections, but now Ukraine is divided, and you’re about to take part in a civil war of slaughtering your own people, this is not a war you should be in!”

Facing his mother’s outburst, Rebrov was filled with fear, but he still whispered, “I’m sorry, mom, I really can’t leave, there’s a fire in my heart, if I just walk away, I won’t be content!”

Rebrov’s mom seemed to be on the verge of collapse, or perhaps she already had, she cried loudly, “What exactly do you want to do! My brother and I go to strange places with just the two of us, and you’re not there, what do we do? Don’t you care what happens to us, you’re going to war, what if something happens to you, what are your brother and I supposed to do?”

Gao Yang sighed inwardly at Rebrov’s stupidity, couldn’t he just tell a little white lie to lessen his mother’s worries.

At this moment, Yarebin, who had been silent, suddenly said, “I have an idea, Rebrov, perhaps you should take over your father’s unfinished duties, your father was killed, and as his son, I think you have the responsibility to avenge him. Moreover, your mother is right, this indeed isn’t a war you should participate in.”

After speaking, Yarebin said to Rebrov’s mother, “Please rest assured, Rebrov’s job won’t be too dangerous, at least it’s much safer than going to war.”

Gao Yang helplessly glanced at Yarebin, and then said to Rebrov, “I think it’s not a good idea for your mother and brother to go to Moscow without you, an unprotected widow and orphans with a huge fortune in hand, it’s really not a good idea.”

Gao Yang simply felt that Rebrov was of no use to him, and being the son of a loyalist, he might as well persuade him to go to Moscow and get it over with. But after he finished speaking, Yarebin retorted, “That’s right, but if you follow and continue the work, your mother and brother will never be in any danger because no one would dare mess with them.”
