A very simple reason: Abdullah hurriedly issued an expulsion order, not because he didn't value Gao Yang, but because he didn't want Gao Yang to meet that Iranian.
Russia previously had no direct connection with the Houthis Armed Forces. Now Russia sent people to contact the Houthis Armed Forces, while Abdullah temporarily did not want his biggest supporters, who even controlled the Houthis Armed Forces, to know of Gao Yang's existence. This is understandable.
Although the identity of Lavagani is unclear, it is certain that his status is not low. Otherwise, Abdullah would not have had to meet with Lavagani immediately without even letting him wait, and instead rudely asked Gao Yang to leave on his own.
Understanding the key point, Gao Yang didn't say much. After exchanging glances with Glewatov, the group quickened their pace.
