Chapter 1114 Ivan's Death
On a hot summer day in July, a private plane landed at Moscow International Airport. Coming out of the airport and looking at the crowd outside who seemed to have forgotten the fear, illness and excitement not long ago, Yang Dongxu had to sigh that forgetfulness can teach humans a painful lesson, but it is also one of the sources of happiness.
A long line of cars that looked extraordinary drove into a heavily guarded manor.
"I'm sorry to bother you this time." As soon as Yang Dongxu got off the car, he was hugged by Toy who walked over quickly.
"You're welcome. I will definitely come when Uncle Ivan passes away anyway." Yang Dongxu patted Toy's shoulder.
That's right!
Old Ivan, who has been living in seclusion for many years, even many well-informed people can't be sure whether he is in Russia or recuperating abroad. He passed away yesterday.
Old Ivan has no son, so Toy must come back to deal with his uncle's funeral. As one of the biggest beneficiaries of the wool-pulling, his return undoubtedly took a huge risk and touched the sensitive nerves of many people.
So after thinking it over, Toy called Yang Dongxu. He rushed back from the United States yesterday when he learned that his uncle had passed away. He just arrived this morning, and Yang Dongxu also arrived in Moscow in the morning. This friendship touched Toy very much.
His identity is very sensitive. At this time, even some Russian tycoons who are closely connected with him are subconsciously keeping a distance from him. But Yang Dongxu flew over without saying a word.
"Don't worry, take good care of Uncle Ivan's funeral. Although it is different now than before, everyone hopes for peace." Yang Dongxu comforted.
He did take certain risks this time, and even transferred Jie Chengwu and Du Fei, who had not seen him for a long time, from the Middle East for personal protection.
But this is just to strengthen the insurance. In fact, the risk is not as big as imagined, and it can even be said that there is no risk. Some risks are just scaring themselves.
Although he has been withdrawing from the Russian market over the years, he still retains a lot of fixed asset investments. So he has been paying attention to the situation here.
Of course, many people who were fleecing at the beginning trembled, and some people have even been thrown into prison. But in fact, those who were cleaned up were all those who felt that they were very awesome and made trouble.
Those who were honest and silent, or even actively cooperated, although they did not live as recklessly as before in the past few years, they were still comfortable.
Many people's assets were not confiscated, but were still increasing. They were just used to the huge profits in the past, and now they are suffering from their greed step by step.
In fact, as long as they can control their greed. They are too lazy to trouble these people.
Therefore, even if Toy's identity is very sensitive, as long as he doesn't seek death, it's okay to go back to Russia to live now. The deceased old Ivan is a real old fox, and he has a certain tacit understanding with the other side.
"I thought you wouldn't come." After Ivan, Natasha gave Yang Dongxu a hug and kissed his side face very intimately.
There were many people who came to greet him, after all, there were guests in the manor. Even Ivan stood at the gate to greet them. The guests in the house could not sit in the living room as masters out of politeness or curiosity.
However, among these people, except Toy and Natasha. Yang Dongxu basically didn't know them. After all, when Yang Dongxu was doing business here, these uncle-level people in front of him were probably the playboys in the family.
So the two sides didn't have much intersection. If their elders came, maybe some of them would be very familiar with Yang Dongxu. After all, everyone worked together to fleece the sheep.
"I am a legal businessman. Is there any problem for a junior to come to attend the funeral of an elder?" Yang Dongxu's cheek was a little itchy after being kissed by Natasha.
Although kissing to say hello is common, it is obviously not suitable for him and Natasha. This kind of feeling that they have a good relationship with outsiders is undoubtedly deliberately made by Natasha. And in addition to showing that she has a good relationship with him, she also licked his side face with her tongue when kissing him, which embarrassed him.
But so many people were watching him and he couldn't show anything. He could only be politely compatible, loosen the empty hug and stepped back half a step to distance himself.
There was no excessive introduction, and there was no noise. After all, this was a funeral. Yang Dongxu went in to pay homage to the old man lying in a field of white flowers.
After paying respects, he did not leave, but sat aside and watched the waves of people coming to pay respects. Finally, he followed the funeral procession and sent Old Ivan to the cemetery.
Many people came to send Old Ivan off, but everyone was very silent. Yang Dongxu and Toy stood in the front row, and many people secretly looked at him. Guess who this overly young Chinese man is, and why he stands with some big guys. And Toy seems to think very highly of him.
However, a few people showed thoughtful looks on their faces. Although they did not know Yang Dongxu, it was obvious that the elders in their family had said something to them.
When the funeral was about to end, a few more people came to the cemetery. The one walking in front was obviously a senior government official, and he was followed by a man in military uniform with a rank of major general.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the people who came, and the middle-aged man leading the way was dressed in black. He first greeted Toy, and then asked the people behind him to send the wreath to the tombstone where Old Ivan had been buried.
The visitor and the major general beside him stood in front of the tombstone in silence for a few minutes. Before leaving, he patted Toy on the shoulder and left without saying much.
It only took a few minutes for these people to come and go, but the originally oppressive atmosphere disappeared directly.
Old Ivan's identity was obviously not suitable for anyone to come, but since someone was sent. Undoubtedly, the other party has expressed his position. As long as Toy does not commit suicide, the other party will not keep a close eye on him.
Toy, who had been tense all the time, finally relaxed at this time and said to Yang Dongxu apologetically: "You go back to the manor to rest first, I still have some things to deal with."
"Don't worry about these empty formalities between us, you go and do your thing." Yang Dongxu patted Toy's shoulder.
Although Old Ivan arranged everything before his death, Toy had been abroad and had not returned before, and some things obviously still needed him to take over or confirm them personally.
However, before someone expressed his position, Toy obviously did not dare to do anything. This was undoubtedly a very smart choice. Now that someone has expressed his position, the things that should be dealt with can obviously be dealt with.
"I'll take him back." Natasha, who was standing next to him, said.
"Don't you need to go to work?" Yang Dongxu turned his head and looked at Natasha with a little surprise.
This was undoubtedly a tactful refusal. Natasha's inappropriate teasing when she just greeted him was obviously not because of her special hobby to seek excitement, but to show something. And what he feared most was trouble.
Moreover, the relationship between the two people did not reach the point where he had to help Natasha deal with trouble. Apart from those ambiguous things that did not happen on the surface, there was no problem in summarizing his relationship with Natasha as a simple partner. For this ambitious woman, he has always kept a proper distance.
"Do you think my position requires me to sit in the office all day to handle work? Besides, I'm on leave today." Natasha blinked and looked at him.
Okay!
Failed to refuse.
"Hello, my name is Valery." A bearded man with a standard Russian height standing on the other side of Toy stood up and stretched out his hand at this time, "Natasha's brother."
"Valery." Toy frowned.
But Valery did not look at him, but just smiled at Yang Dongxu.
"Yang Dongxu." Yang Dongxu stretched out his hand and shook his hand.
There was no secret competition, and there was no eye contact. The two just shook hands and separated.
"Let's have dinner together when you are free, Toy. I have something to do at home, so I'm leaving first." After saying hello to Yang Dongxu, Valeri said goodbye to Toy, who looked unhappy.
Then he left with his people.
"He" Toy wanted to say something.
But before he finished, he was interrupted by Yang Dongxu, "You go and deal with your business first, I'll go back to the manor to rest."
He naturally understood what Natasha meant by her brother, who had always ignored him before. Now Natasha stood up to introduce herself to him when she was about to send him back to the manor. Anyone who didn't have a problem with his brain would understand the meaning.
"Then be careful, I will say hello to the bodyguards at the manor." Toy's face was very bad.
After all, Valeri seemed very polite and polite just now, and he said goodbye to him when he left. But in fact, if Yang Dongxu really helped Natasha, then the politeness just now could be regarded as an advance warning. Toy's face would not work at that time.
"Don't worry, I know my limits. Besides, we are in a civilized society now. I am a legitimate businessman and nothing will happen to me." Yang Dongxu gave Toy a hug and patted his back to comfort him.
Toy glanced at Du Suo, Jie Chengwu and others standing not far away and didn't say anything.
He was able to fleece the big crocodiles with his uncle and finally get away with it. Toy knew that Yang Dongxu was not as kind as he seemed.
So after looking at Natasha who seemed to be innocent and didn't know what happened, he began to send off the relatives and friends who came to the funeral, and then left to deal with his own affairs.
"We have known each other for so long, you should know that I don't like trouble." In the convoy returning to the manor, Yang Dongxu frowned and his face was no longer friendly.
"Trouble also represents huge benefits." Natasha, who was sitting next to him, had a calm face and didn't feel embarrassed because she might cause trouble to Yang Dongxu.
"I have many lucrative projects to invest in, why should I take risks on you?" Yang Dongxu looked at Natasha sideways, and looked at Natasha from head to toe with a playful look.
Tempted by beauty, trapped by love. At their level, it is impossible to have such naive thoughts. Besides, Yang Dongxu's favorite must be Zhou Ya, not Natasha.
