Back then, when Grand Ivan said he would disappear, he vanished without a trace. And now, when Grand Ivan says he's back, he appears out of nowhere.
Gao Yang never imagined Grand Ivan would reappear in such a manner, leaving him in a daze upon hearing his voice.
"Surprised to hear my voice?"
Gao Yang shook his head blankly, then quickly said, "Don't say anything, where are you!"
Grand Ivan spoke in a calm voice, saying with a smile, "I can't tell you where I am, because I'm not entirely safe right now. I can only say that I was being pursued very closely by America and had to go into hiding. I couldn't make phone calls, as there are satellites and drones surveilling every day. You know how Basayev died, right? His calls were intercepted, his location confirmed, and then a missile took his life. So I couldn't even make a phone call. But now, at least I can make a short call."
