Natalia Sasha Ivanov. The name sounded very beautiful and pleasant. But after meeting the real deal, Gao Yang really couldnt connect his imagination of Grolevs wife with the big aunty holding a hunting rifle right in front of him.

Grolevs daughter, the barbaric girl, looked very beautiful, but he couldnt link her with how Grolev had described her: an obedient, cute, and lovely girl. What he saw was heavy makeup, her exhaling cigarette smoke circles, and a face full of barbarism. Even though he knew the pair was the one he was looking for, he felt that he had to ask one more time.

Gao Yang was still full of smiles as he said, Im sorry, can you please tell me your names? I have to know if I found the right person. Am I right?

My names Natalia Sasha Ivanov and my daughters name is Elena Euler Ivanov. If your friend is that assh*le Yuri, he wouldnt have any other wife and kid.

Completely sure of it now, he exhaled a sigh of relief and laughed along. Im so happy to see you guys. Im Grolevs friend. As yall know, he couldnt come back, but he really misses you guys. He saved all his money, and since I just happened to come over, he requested me to bring the money over to yall. Here, this is twenty-three thousand dollars. All here.

Natalias face became detente, she didnt hustle to take the money from Gao Yangs hands. Instead, grief was written all over herface.She said, Does that assh*le still remember us? Darn it, after so many years, I always thought he was dead. Even when he cant come back, cant he send a letter at least?

Gao Yang was astonished. What do you mean? According to my information, Grolev sent money to you guys every year!

Natalia was puzzled as she replied, What kind of joke is that? The second year he ran away, he asked a guy named Ivan to send one thousand dollars to us. Other than that, theres been no communication after all these years, what money are you talking about?

Gao Yang furiously patted his thighs with repugnance and said, I got it. That dude called Ivan, he didnt even give yall the money, he swallowed all the money Grolev sent yall. This b*stard, he died too late. But what about the photos of you and your daughter? Why did Grolev have your photo? He had your daughters photo from school, and the portrait photo of you and your daughter. Even from previous years too. He also showed me the photo of you and your daughter where Elena was holding an award certificate from school.

Elena threw the cigarette onto the floor and extinguished it by stepping on it. She clapped and said, I think what youre talking about are the photos I posted on Faceb*ok, its not really that hard to download and print them. Seems like somebody used our photos. Alright, dont let me see that b*stard, otherwise Ill stamp on his balls till they explode. By the way, just asking, hows my dad doing now?

Uhh, your dads doing pretty well, another thing I wanted to say was that the bast*rd who swindled your dad and you guys all these years is already dead. He died not too long ago.

Natalia glared at Elena once and reprimanded her. Youre at home now and youre talking to your fathers friend. Cant you act like a normal child? Dont use that communication technique you use in the bar.

Elena swiftly changed her expression to show a smile. She used a soft and lovely voice as she spoke gently. Thank you for bringing news about my dad, mother and I are very grateful. Thank you.

Gao Yang was somewhat taken by surprise when he was confronted with Elenas sudden change of face. He was looking at Elena who was in a barbaric girl outfit, but her voice and tone was full of unspeakable loveliness and cuteness. It was really difficult for him to digest all that. After coughing twice, Gao Yang was a bit flustered as he placed the money before Natalia. Somewhat panic-stricken, he said, The money. Please, its better to keep it with you.

Natalia took the hunting rifle and laid it properly on the table on the side. She rubbed both hands on her clothes for a while and took the money from Gao Yang. There was no ferocity emanating from Natalia at this moment as she instead looked like a kind neighborhood aunty.

Natalia took the money and said with embarrassment, Hurry, have a seat, Im really sorry. Ive been keeping you guys standing. Im really sorry just now, I thought the people from the bar came for us so I fired. Hope that didnt scare you guys.

Gao Yang laughed bitterly. He didnt have the guts to say that he was half scared to death just now, including the fact that Old Liu almost got his head blown off. But Natalias words reminded him of the incident from before.

Yes, the incident that happened downstairs wont be a problem, will it? If you need help, just say the word, Ill be really happy to be of service.

Natalia was full of disdain. Its okay. What else could it be? The police never come to this place. Those soft nuts wouldnt dare come find trouble with us.

After saying that with such ferocity and harshness, Natalia switched to another expression and gently said, Ay, you should also know that assh*le Yuri left us for so many years. If we werent tough, we wouldnt be able to live these days.

Gao Yang nodded and expressed his understanding. He then replied, Doesnt Elena go to school now? I see that it looks like she works in the bar?

Natalias face had melancholy written on it. Elena is still in school, its just that I lost my job last year and I cant find one even now. My poor Elena, shes only sixteen and she has to earn her keep to go to school. Our living expenditures solely rely on her. Dont look at her current appearance, shes just actually using this method to protect herself.

Gao Yang immediately garnered great respect for Elena, but he still didnt understand. I hear that your English is excellent. In fact, your whole family speaks English very well. I guess it would not be too hard to find a job, right?

Natalia helplessly smiled and said, I was originally an English translator. Grolev and Elena were my most successful students. But after that, you know, since Grolev got into trouble, I cant stay in this line of work lest somebody notices. Then I kept on teaching children English, but now nobodys willing to hire me as their teacher. I think it could be because of my reputation. Since its normal that nobody wishes to hire a tough, savage-like lady to educate their children.

Gao Yang nodded and replied, Got it. But after this your days wont be the same. I think Grolevs money will keep coming so Elena wont have to go to work anymore.

Elena smiled at Gao Yang. She extended her hands, made a piano-playing posture, and said with a smile, Actually my work is very simple, I play the piano in the restaurant. I get paid and I get tips. Its really safe, but the money I make there is very little. So I was planning on playing the electric piano at the bar across my house to earn some extra bucks, but I didnt expect that I would already beat off the eighteenth bast*rd who wanted to get laid in under a month. I think the reason the proprietor of that bar was willing to hire me continuously was maybe because I can help him sell more alcohol.

Gao Yang told Elena solemnly, No matter how much you can earn, you shouldnt go to that sorta place anymore. Your dad really misses both of you, and hes proud of you. You should be properly schooled and then go onto the best music school.

After saying that, he pondered briefly and earnestly said, How about this, since yall already have a good sum of money, I think the moneys enough to help you guys move to a safer district. No need to worry about the life afterwards. Grolev will send you money in a timely manner, and I guarantee this on his behalf.

After saying all that, he patted his head and chuckled, I almost forgot, Grolev now has a satellite phone. Yall couldnt contact him before, but now it is different, you can call him straight away. Have you guys got a handphone? You can call him right now.

Natalia was surprised and pleased. She chimed, Can I? He said last time that we cant contact him anyhow under the KGBs[1] suspicion.

Hearing that Grolev was actually involved with the KGB, Gao Yang was dazed on the spot. He only knew that Grolev seemed to be involved in a murder case, but he didnt know why he couldnt go home. He didnt even dare to make a single phone call. He only understood that Grolev actually was involved with the KGB with that case of his.

Of course, the KGB Natalia was talking about should have been in the Pre-USSR era as the KGB had changed into theFederal Security Service of the Russian Federation (FSB) and the Federal Counterintelligence Service (FSK) now. But for most of the people on the globe and the Russians, they still habitually referred to the departments as the KGB.

Knowing that Grolev was involved with the KGB, Gao Yang couldnt let Natalia and Elena call Grolev now. Some things were better clarified first before doing. Itd save Grolev some unnecessary trouble.

Apologetically smiling at Natalia, Gao Yang solemnly said, Im sorry, you guys better not call him for now temporarily. I guess you can give me a number and then Ill ask him to call you guys. Itll be better that way. Also, are you really sure what happened just now was really nothing much? My friend here seemed to hear that the one of the people whom Elena hit was a mafia boss son around here.

Hearing Gao Yangs words, Elena appeared to be somewhat alarmed and panicky. I didnt know who he was, I was too agitated at that moment. I didnt hear what they were saying. I think itll be alright, I guess.

The color on Gao Yangs face changed in an instant it didnt matter how many normal lecherous douch*bags she chased away with beatings. Just her and her mothers battle prowess wouldnt lose out a single bit to normal people, but if they really offended real triad or gang members, it would mean big trouble.

Gao Yang immediately and decisively said, I get it. Dont say anything, get whatevers necessary, we gotta get outta here fast. No, no, dont take anything, we go NOW.

Gao Yangs decision was still a little too late. His voice had just faded and messy footsteps could be heard. Jin solemnly said, Somebodys coming, and there are a lot of them.
