"I have that plan."
John Rambo nodded and said:
"I'm getting older now, and I can't fight like I used to. I'm not young anymore. Back then, I dared to take a submachine gun and go into the enemy camp alone and fight my way through. Now, I don't have that kind of spirit anymore."
For John Rambo in the past, killing was as easy as breathing.
But he is now an old man approaching fifty.
Physical fitness has declined significantly.
Most importantly, that arrogant attitude of looking down on everyone and being invincible gradually faded away with age.
Just like Guo Degang said, if a man isn't arrogant before the age of thirty, he's not going to amount to anything; if he's still arrogant after the age of thirty, he's definitely not going to amount to anything!
"You can only fool others with that," Bai Ye said with a smile. "It's certain that your physical abilities are declining after your peak, but can you really let go of the past?"
"No, you haven't defeated the demon; you've just been restraining yourself every day."
John Lamb remained silent.
In fact, Bai Ye's guess was correct.
Those who have never experienced war cannot fully understand the harm it brings to people.
John Rambo, however, experienced all the guilt, pain, and trauma of that dark period in history.
He suffered from severe post-traumatic stress disorder and had nightmares all night long.
If I didn't occasionally go out and take on a few jobs to kill people and have some fun, I might have gone crazy someday!
“Gabrielle will be taking her college entrance exams soon, and I have to stay by her side so she can get into a good university and fulfill her mother’s last wish,” John Lamb said. “I made a promise to her mother before she died that I would take good care of her!”
"College Entrance Examination?"
Bai Ye thought of his nephew Parker, who was about to take the college entrance exam, and also of Xia Tian's adopted daughter Diana, and sighed:
"That's true. The college entrance examination is a crucial moment in a child's life, and you can't be too careful."
John Rambo looked at White Night strangely:
"Why do you seem so empathetic towards me? At your age, you can't possibly have children or grandchildren preparing for the college entrance exam, can you?"
Bai Ye shrugged and said, "Of course I don't have one myself, but I have several girlfriends, and their sons and daughters are about to take the college entrance exam."
John Rambo: "..."
He stared speechlessly at the guy. Several girlfriends?
This bastard is absolutely inhuman!
However, he also had the mental fortitude to handle it, because in the previous times when Bai Ye teamed up with them, whenever a mission involved beautiful women, those women almost always fell into the clutches of that bastard Bai Ye.
John Lamb even recalled his first encounter with White Night.
That time in Africa, the innocent female doctor named Monica was rescued. Bai Ye was responsible for her close protection, but while he was protecting her, he ended up going straight inside... well, it was at night, he ran into the female doctor's tent.
Similar things had happened many times before, so he got used to it.
That's perfect, any mission involving women is almost guaranteed to succeed with Bai Ye's support.
That bastard really knows how to deal with women!
“You’d better be careful. Dating so many girlfriends, you might cause trouble one day!” John Lamb shook his head and said, “I saw on the news the other day that a female doctor’s boyfriend cheated on her, so she stabbed him more than twenty times with a knife, avoiding vital organs with every stab. The boy suffered great trauma, but the court still ruled it minor injuries…”
John Rambo glanced at Bai Ye and said:
"I remember that Monica from Africa back then, she was the female doctor, right?"
Bai Ye stroked his chin: "Hmm, that is indeed a problem. Among my girlfriends, the proportion of female doctors is not small..."
John Lamb was dumbfounded. Did this guy choose his girlfriends based on their professions?
Isn't that a bit too extravagant?
He felt that Bai Ye wasn't seriously considering the potential harm his female doctor girlfriend might cause, but rather was showing off to him that he had many girlfriends!
Bai Ye continued, "However, it shouldn't be a big problem. Among my girlfriends, there are quite a few NYPD, FBI, CIA, federal courts, federal public security and judicial organs, and lawyers. They will definitely not let vicious criminals who violate federal law escape justice."
John Rambo: "..."
He had never been so speechless in his life.
"Uncle John, I'm back!"
As Bai Ye and John Rambo were talking, a beautiful young girl of about seventeen or eighteen, wearing a t-shirt, pushed open the door and walked in.
She looks like a lively and cute girl.
A delicate, fair face, with a pair of bright, sparkling eyes beneath arched eyebrows.
A playful smile graced her small mouth.
She is tall and slender.
Like a peony bud about to bloom, it is full of youth and vitality.
"Wow, Barney, this is my little niece Gabriel, right?" Bai Ye looked at the girl and smiled, "She's quite the beauty!"
John Lamb immediately felt a jolt in his heart.
Others may not know what kind of scoundrel this is, but surely he does?
"Bai Ye, let me tell you, don't you dare make a move on Gabriel, or I'll turn against you!"
John Lamb was very serious.
Even if the little cabbage I've raised for over ten years is still eaten by a pig, it can never be this shameless and unscrupulous black pig, Bai Ye.
"Barney, what are you saying? I'm her uncle, how could I possibly have designs on her?" Bai Ye said disapprovingly, "Don't assume everyone else is as filthy as you just because you have filthy thoughts!"
"fart."
John Lamb said:
"Someone like you..."
Gabrielle El interrupted John Rambo and Bai Ye's argument. Looking at Bai Ye's handsome face, she couldn't help but ask John Rambo:
"Uncle John, who is this older brother?"
John Rambo's heart sank again, and he said:
"This guy isn't your brother, he's your uncle, Bai Ye. Don't let his youthful appearance fool you, he's about my age. He was just telling me that his son and daughter are about to take the college entrance exam."
Although he was a man, he seemed to understand just how irresistible Bai Ye's looks were to women.
Especially since Gabrielle is at the age where she is just beginning to experience romantic feelings, we absolutely cannot let her go astray!
“Uncle John, you’re joking with me!” Gabriel said. “How could this brother be the same age as you? Wouldn’t he be an ageless monster?”
Bai Ye's age is naturally not the same as John Rambo's, who is close to fifty years old. On the contrary, with a little dressing up, Bai Ye could easily look like he is eighteen.
"Don't listen to your Uncle John's nonsense. I'm in my prime, of course I can't be the same age as him." Bai Ye laughed, "But I'm 25 this year, so it's not a loss for you to call me uncle."
"I forgot to bring any gifts on the way here..."
Bai Ye rummaged through his pockets, finally finding a gold pin and tossing it to Gabriel.
"Consider it a gift from your uncle to mark our meeting."
"Thank you, brother!"
Gabriel caught the gold coin and gave Bai Ye a sweet smile.
“I already told you, call me Uncle,” Bai Ye said. “Otherwise, your Uncle John will probably be giving me trouble later.”
“You’re the older brother!” Gabriel said. “Anyway, you’re not that much older than me. It would be too awkward to call you uncle.”
John Rambo's face was as black as the bottom of a pot:
"Gabriel, didn't you want to play with Antonia today? Hurry up and go, or she'll be waiting for you and getting impatient."
"What Antonia? I don't know any Antonia."
Gabriel stared longingly at Bai Ye, completely captivated by his good looks. Who even knew about Antonia anymore?
"Gabriel, your phone is ringing," Bai Ye said with a smile.
"what?"
Gabriel realized what was happening, took out his phone, glanced at Antonia, immediately hung up, turned it off, and said without changing his expression:
"It's nothing, just a nuisance call."
"Brother Baiye, where are you from? Your home..."
"Gabrielle? Gabrielle!"
Then came the sound of a car horn and a woman's shout from outside.
“Gabriel,” John Lamb said, “Antonia is calling you!”
"Oh."
Gabriel reluctantly gave up his idea of pestering Bai Ye and had to leave the room temporarily after Antonia called him repeatedly.
"Your daughter is certainly lively!"
Bai Ye smiled and said.
John Rambo, his face dark, said:
"Why are you giving her the gold coins from the mainland hotel? She's not from that world, and she has no way of having any contact with it."
Yes, the gold coins that Bai Ye gave to Gabriel before were issued by the Continental Hotel and are the hard currency of the underworld. Whether you stay in the absolutely safe Continental Hotel, purchase various equipment, intelligence, medical care, logistics services, or enjoy things like cleaning up corpses, etc.
Payment is also based on the difficulty of the assistance sought, starting with at least one gold coin.
"Give it to the kids to play with!" Bai Ye said. "Anyway, I have plenty of these things, more than I can use up."
"But Barney, you seem to have protected Gabriel too much, leaving her with absolutely no fighting ability..."
John Lamb said, "We've had enough suffering to endure in our generation. I don't want the next generation to face the same pain I've experienced."
Bai Ye shook his head and said, "Having a sword but not using it is a different concept from not having a sword at all! You and I both know how messed up this world is. You seem to have given Gabrielle a happy and carefree childhood, but you haven't taught her how to face this messed up world, and you've even deprived her of the ability to resist evil."
“Once she has a sword in her hand, she will have an irresistible urge to wield it,” John Rambo said stubbornly. “She will get used to resorting to violence to solve everything, and in the end, she will only face the situation of people like us. In some things, I would rather she suffer a loss than let things escalate to an irreversible point.”
