Judging from Zhuang Yi's overall performance, Cheng Yu is more willing to believe that he really didn't know that his one-night stand with Natalia seven years ago would give him another daughter.
And the matter between him and Natalia was not meant to be hidden from Cheng Yu. For him, it was just a small episode.
When leaving the hotel, Zhuang Yi repeatedly told Cheng Yu that he would ask the finance department to convert the one million U.S. dollars into soft currency tomorrow and transfer it to Cheng Yu's account.
Cheng Yu said to him: "I can trust you about the money, so I'm not in a hurry. But because of the information, I need to talk to my friend in detail to determine whether he is ultimately willing to help you publish information about Maxi on the dark web."
Tom's mission.
But based on the fact that your son is not dead and you may still have a daughter, I don’t recommend that you even give up all your wealth for revenge. After all, even if you don’t think about yourself, you should consider these two children.
Of course, I hope you can think carefully about whether to change the mission goal to rescuing these two children.
In this case, I think things might become simpler.
Diamonds worth thirty million US dollars, part of which will be used to pay for the mission, and the other part will be used to exchange your children with Maxim.
I think that as long as a suitable middleman can be found after the task is released on the dark web, it will not be too difficult, and Maxim should be able to accept such an arrangement."
Zhuang Yi seemed a little flustered. For a moment, he didn't know how to deal with it. He didn't even know that Cheng Yu said this to him just because he could handle the matter more secretly, rather than because Cheng Yu really intended to let it go.
Passed by Maxim.
After all, in Cheng Yu's case, the system task requirements are far more than what he and Zhuang Yi proposed.
After leaving the hotel, Cheng Yu found a small restaurant to rest his stomach. He looked at the time and saw that it was almost eight o'clock in the evening. He drove straight to the airport.
When he arrived at the airport, Cheng Yu sent Du Xiaoyu a WeChat message, telling her that he was going on a business trip for a few days, and then boarded the plane to fly to Harbin.
Sitting on the plane, Cheng Yu began to recall all the conversations he had with Zhuang Yi.
Since the hidden tasks of the five culprits appeared in the system tasks, Cheng Yu basically confirmed that Zhuang Yi had not maliciously deceived or concealed himself in the whole matter. He also told Maxim in Zhuang Yi's heart
A series of inquiries were made.
This is related to how many children Ivanov adopted in total. Cheng Yu's most direct thought is that the so-called culprits are those who were adopted by Ivanov, including Maxim, but were related to Zhuang Yi.
Those who have contrary values.
Zhuang Yi's answer was that Ivanov adopted a total of three children, namely him, Maxim and Natalia.
According to what Cheng Yu knows now, Natalia is likely to end up with the same fate as Zhuang Yi's wife, although Cheng Yu actually waited for Maxim to wait until Natalia gave birth to the child instead of finding out that she was pregnant.
After that, he decided that she had an affair with Zhuang Yi and immediately killed her. It felt strange.
But no matter what, trying to find the five culprits based on this idea has been confirmed to have failed.
Cheng Yu then asked Zhuang Yi how many people had kidnapped his wife and children in the Irkutsk restaurant at that time, and who they were.
The answer Zhuang Yi gave was that there were six people in total, and he only knew two of them, one was named Victor and the other was named Alexander.
This did not include Maxim, and Cheng Yu believed that Maxim must be one of those five people. There was no way Maxim could not be considered the culprit.
Therefore, judging from the number of kidnappers, it seems that it is not easy to find the remaining four and confirm the candidates from this point of view.
Of course, Cheng Yu also asked Zhuang Yi, who was Maxim's most capable subordinate when he left. Cheng Yu got a list of nearly twenty people for this purpose. These are all the growth of Zhuang Yi and Maxim.
The people who have been accompanying them throughout the process can, in a sense, be defined as the big brothers of Zhuang Yi and Maxim.
As for Ivanov's generation, some died in the mission, some died of old age and illness, and a few others, according to Zhuang Yi, left earlier than him. After all, they were all a handful of people.
At this age, it is impossible for him to continue to follow Maxim to get a gun.
Cheng Yu estimated that most of the five culprits, except Maxim, should be from this list. Of course, Cheng Yu did not rule out that in the two years after Zhuang Yigang left, there were Maxim
It is possible for the newly recruited people to gain his trust by leaps and bounds and become his confidants.
But even if such people exist, there will never be many of them. The so-called culprit must be based on the first sentence of the mission content - Zhuang Yi lost his wife. To put it bluntly, that person must be targeting Zhuang Yi.
He played a vital role in killing Yi's wife and abducting them, so he could become one of the five culprits.
Through Zhuang Yi, Cheng Yu reduced the list of people he needed to screen from two hundred to about twenty.
Although it is still very difficult, it has finally achieved initial results.
…
After a nearly three-hour flight, it was already one o'clock in the morning when Cheng Yu walked out of Harbin's airport.
He turned on his phone again and saw Du Xiaoyu's reply on WeChat, saying that she understood and asked Cheng Yu to pay attention to safety outside.
He originally thought that since it was so late, he might as well go find Andreevich the next morning, but he didn't expect that as soon as Cheng Yu read Du Xiaoyu's WeChat message, he saw a call coming in.
It is a local number in Harbin.
"Hello, I'm Cheng Yu."
"Hello, Mr. Cheng, I'm Andreevich. I guess the reason why you haven't contacted me so late is probably because you bought the last flight from Wudong to Harbin tonight, so I calculated the time.
You should have left the airport by now, right?"
Cheng Yu smiled and said: "Mr. Andreevich, it seems that you really don't want to have any contact with me anymore. I originally thought that it was already so late and I couldn't bother you, so I planned to come back early tomorrow morning."
Contact you."
Andreevich's voice sounded a little annoyed. He said: "You are a person who doesn't mean what you say. If I can't completely resolve the matter with you today, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at all. Don't talk nonsense.
Yes, there will be a car sent to Russia in the early morning, I just hope I can send you away now."
Cheng Yu smiled again and said, "Well, since Mr. Andreevich is so anxious, I'll go find you now. I just left the airport and was planning to take a taxi. Where should we meet?"
Andreevich gave Cheng Yu an address. Cheng Yu checked it using navigation software and found that it was only about four or five kilometers away from the airport. The navigation map showed that it was simply a logistics center.
In this case, there was no need to delay. Cheng Yu got into a taxi. The driver was a little dissatisfied when he learned that the place Cheng Yu wanted to go was so close. However, when Cheng Yu expressed that he was willing to pay an extra hundred yuan,
The driver started driving the car with a smile without saying anything.
Ten minutes later, Cheng Yu arrived at the logistics center.
The taxi driver kindly said: "Brother, it's so late at night, why don't you just find a hotel nearby to stay, and come back to find someone tomorrow morning?"
Cheng Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "There is a problem with one batch of goods, otherwise I wouldn't have to rush over here. Thank you very much. This is your fare. I've added a hundred yuan." After saying that, Cheng Yu paid the money.
Yu got out of the car.
The taxi driver naturally stopped talking and turned around and drove to the airport again, preparing to work again.
Cheng Yu called Andreevich and told him that he had arrived at the logistics center. Andrevic asked him to go in directly and told him the more precise location.
At this time, the lights in the logistics center are still bright, and there is still an endless stream of vehicles coming in and out. In fact, only at this time, the logistics center is the busiest time, with parcels and goods that need to be distributed in different directions.
, are also sorted and loaded here.
Without much effort, Cheng Yu found Andreevich's logistics warehouse. From a distance, he had already seen Andreevich's figure standing under the light at the entrance of the warehouse.
After shaking hands with Andreevich, before Cheng Yu could speak, Andreevich said: "Mr. Cheng, I hope this is really the last time we deal with each other. You don't have to tell me why you use this method."
There is no good reason to go to Russia in this way anyway."
Cheng Yu smiled again. This Andreevich was really cautious.
Fortunately, in fact, Cheng Yu had no intention of telling the truth to Andreevich, so he nodded and continued to wait for Andreevich's words.
"That car over there contains a car full of down jackets. We will have six cars leaving at the same time. You stay in that car. Except for one of the drivers of that car, no one else will know you exist.
.When you get to the right place, the driver will let you get off the car safely and help you leave the logistics center over there. You can figure out your own way on the way back. Don't look for me again. If you look for me, I won't pay attention to you.
. Let me explain again, this is my last time to help you. If you continue to harass me, I will risk my life and die with you. Don’t forget, you are in Irkutsk, in front of
I have killed people in front of me."
Cheng Yu shrugged his shoulders and said: "On this trip, either I will realize my wish, or I may die in Russia. So, no matter which way, the connection between you and me will never be the same again."
Continue. In fact, if it weren’t for the fact that this matter is somewhat related to you, I would not be willing to ask you for help. Mr. Andreevich, please rest assured that I will never do it again in the future.
Sorry to trouble you."
"Hmph! You said the same thing last time. I hope you can really keep your word this time."
Cheng Yu shrugged and said helplessly: "How long will this trip take?"
"The final destination of this convoy is Moscow. Of course, Mr. Cheng, you will definitely not go there, and your destination is something I want to confirm with you for the last time." Andreevich turned around and started his journey.
Yu waved and said, "Come in, let's look at the map and talk."
After entering the warehouse, Andreevich took Cheng Yu up the stairs to the office on the second floor. He pointed to a map of Russia hanging on the wall.
"Our convoy will depart from Manzhouli, and then follow this line..." Andreevich drew a line on the map, "to Chita, there will be a period of stay. Here, there will be
It’s a suitable point for you to get off.”
Cheng Yu looked at the map and found that Chita was still too far from Lake Baikal, which would bring him a lot of trouble, so he shook his head and said, "This place won't work."
Andreevich nodded and continued to draw lines on the map: "Next, the convoy will drive south. After arriving at Shiloskiy, continue west to Lake Baikal and go around the lake, arriving at the place you are already somewhat familiar with.
Irkutsk, take another short rest."
Cheng Yu looked at the map and thought that arriving in Irkutsk would be an acceptable option. However, he would still need to bypass Lake Baikal to get close to the location of Maxim's mercenaries.
This distance does not seem too far from the map, but the problem is that we have to go around Lake Baikal, which may take more than 400 kilometers.
Cheng Yu looked at the map carefully, pointed to one of the places, and said, "Can you see if it's okay here?"
