Reborn in Russia as a Big Shot

18. Black eats black

Old Li, Sister Han, and Li Xiang's grandparents all share the same expectation regarding his relationship with his family: "to carry on the family line."

Natasha is pregnant, and that's the most important thing for the Li family right now.

Li Xiang's mother and cousin Han Jiayin arrived in Vietnam two weeks early. They found a place to live, contacted hospitals, bought daily necessities, and even prepared a nursery.

Old Li was busy with work, but he came three days early to inspect the work and gave a lot of guidance.

Although Natasha had been well-off since childhood, she had no mother and her father was always busy, so she hadn't experienced much family warmth. She was truly flattered by Li Xiang's family.

Sister Han called Li Xiang aside.

"Are you not planning to marry Natasha? I think that child is quite nice. What exactly are you trying to do?"

Li Xiang made up a story: "Marriage is not popular in Russia now."

"Are you asking for a beating?" Sister Han glared at her.

Li Xiang said, "Her family background is rather complicated, let's talk about marriage later."

Sister Han chimed in with a puzzled look, "When I asked her about her family situation, she started stammering. What exactly does her family do?"

Li Xiang said with a serious expression, "I can tell you, but you can't tell anyone else."

"Okay." Sister Han nodded.

"Old Li can't say either," Li Xiang emphasized.

Sister Han scolded with a sour face, "Hurry up."

"Have you seen the American movie 'The Godfather'?" Li Xiang asked indirectly.

"I've seen it," Sister Han guessed. "Is her family connected to the underworld?"

Li Xiang swallowed hard and said, "His father is the Russian Marlon Brando."

Sister Han pinched Li Xiang's inner thigh hard.

"You're just asking for trouble. Don't you have any other women? How dare you mess with someone like that?"

"Ouch! Ouch!" Li Xiang pushed his mother's hand away, rubbing his thigh, and casually muttered, "If you don't like it, I'll make her abort the child and break up with her."

"You dare!" Sister Han calmed herself down and said in a low voice, "Even if you're now clinging to them, if you treat their daughter badly, do you think they'll let you off the hook?"

As she gestured, Sister Han said, "I'd chop you up and feed you to the dogs!"

"His father is in prison." Li Xiang wasn't afraid at all.

"You think you're going to stay in jail forever? You'll be in there for life? When you get out, you'll settle the score!"

Li Xiang comforted his mother, saying, "I brought her to Vietnam so I could get her a fake household registration here, make her Vietnamese, and cut all ties with the past."

"Their family is very supportive."

"That little boy, Roman, is her aunt's child. Aren't all parents the same? They're involved in organized crime, so why would they let their child follow the same path?"

"That's true." Sister Han rolled her eyes at her son and said, "You really need to treat your wife better. If her family comes after you, don't let it involve me and your father."

Li Xiang checked Han Jie's information panel and was surprised to find that Han Jie already knew that Lao Li had an illegitimate child.

"Stop talking about me, let me tell you about you. Just a heads-up, Old Li has been acting a bit strange lately."

In his past life, Li Xiang always thought that Sister Han was a scatterbrain and had been fooled by Old Li for half his life.

Now I know who was hiding the truth.

"What's wrong?"

"I am your son, and I am also Old Li's son. That's enough. Go check it yourself."

Sister Han paused for a moment, then frowned and asked, "How do you know about Wang Shufen?"

"And there's Wang Shufen, huh? Old Li's such a womanizer, I'm not talking about her," Li Xiang said deliberately.

"Stop pretending." Sister Han said confidently, "Your dad has the desire but not the guts."

"Your father really did wrong Wang Shufen. He ran away as soon as he got a license plate to return to the city."

"They're still in contact. Aren't you angry?" Li Xiang asked cautiously.

"You already have a son, what's the use of me being angry?" Sister Han sighed and said, "Your father hasn't had it easy these past years either. When he quit his job to go into business, people weren't allowed to move freely. They were called... vagrants. Every time he went out, he was chased away like a dog."

"Once he came home covered in bruises, and I didn't know who had beaten him. I told myself that as long as he came back safe and sound, I didn't care about anything else."

"If your dad hadn't risked his life to go out and make a living, our family, your maternal grandparents' family, more than a dozen people would have all been laid off. How would we have survived with so many mouths to feed?"

After calming herself down, Sister Han smiled slightly and teased her son, "Now that you have a brother out of nowhere, you'll get half the inheritance when it's time to divide the assets."

"Why is it only half?" Li Xiang said seriously. "Give me yours, and Old Li's will be split in two. I'll take three-quarters, and you can't give me even a fraction less."

"Look at you, you pathetic sight."

Pavel is really going all out; this jersey delivery is a do-or-die situation.

He had even made arrangements for his "afterlife".

If he fails to pass the test, he will run away from Latvia to Germany. His mistress and three children have already gone there under the guise of tourism.

But his legal wife and eldest daughter remained in St. Petersburg.

There was no way around it; Galina had been targeting the mother and daughter for some time and they were being held hostage.

In St. Petersburg, no one can owe Galina money and not pay it back!

Pavel was prepared to sacrifice the mother and daughter, but fortunately, the whole process went so smoothly that it was almost unbelievable.

Truck drivers in Europe don't learn skills that require endurance; they have to stay in hotels at night.

This gave Pavel ample time to dismantle the positioning device.

Pavel reported the following route to customs: ...

The goods transit through Latvia and Lithuania, then are loaded onto ships for transshipment to Denmark.

The actual route is...

Once it reaches the Lithuanian bowl, the locator continues to move along the original route.

They changed the license plates on the car, turned it around, and drove it back to Latvia.

Because it was a transit shipment, the box needed to be opened for inspection and the locks and seals changed when it entered Lithuania from Latvia.

The goods were still there at that time.

With customs clearance information and system location data, the Latvian customs believed the goods were lost in Lithuania.

It has nothing to do with Latvia.

Pavel made a surprise return, going back into Latvia to hand over the reins to Galina.

As for how Galina disassembled the goods and transported them to Germany piecemeal, that's none of his business.

-

On the fishing boat, the sea breeze was howling.

"You little brat, you want to rebel?" Pavel had been taking veterinary drugs for a long time to maintain his muscles, making him as strong as a bear.

The goods have been hidden in an abandoned shipyard, and the agreed-upon transaction location is by the sea.

Who would have thought that after overcoming all the difficulties and obstacles, all that was left was to deliver the goods and get paid, only to have the person he trusted most betray him.

"Boss, you can't blame me. If I want to turn things around, this is my only chance in this lifetime."

Sasha was trembling even with a gun in his hand.

"It was my fault, I didn't give you enough. We've been brothers for so many years, we can talk things out. I'll give you half of the money we made this time, and put the gun away."

Pavel walked toward Sasha with a broad smile.

"Stop! I told you to stop!"

Pavel didn't stop, and Sasha shouted at the top of his lungs and fired directly, but missed.

The bullet grazed Pavel's face, and Pavel, seizing the moment, was about to draw his gun as well.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Sasha was terrified and fired three shots at close range.

Even the strongest muscles can't stop a bullet; Pavel fell to the deck with a thud.

A bullet grazed Pavel's carotid artery, and blood gushed across the deck.

The person was still breathing, but was convulsing continuously.

Sasha steadied himself and went forward to fire another shot at Pavel's head.

The boat was rented, and the boat owner was terrified when he heard the gunshot.

Sasha picked up Pavel's guns, one in each hand, and went into the cabin. Several more shots rang out.
