Back at the base, Andrew climbed out of the armored vehicle and then took Gao Yuan's hand, smiling, "Today's negotiation was very successful, and for that we have to thank your help. Now, we have hope of going home, and it's all thanks to you."
Actually, Gao Yuan didn't do anything today because Li Yang, the translator, was too busy to explain to him what was happening, what the two sides were discussing.
Andrew said in a deep voice, "I need to call everyone together for a meeting. We should get ready to leave this place, and I hope you can attend. You have a wealth of experience, and I hope you can offer us some valuable suggestions."
Gao Yuan thought for a moment and replied, "I won't attend the meeting, but he will. He'll tell you everything that needs attention without holding anything back. I want to rest for a bit now."
Andrew nodded, shook hands with Gao Yuan, and went off to show off his newly exchanged handgun to Cahill.
