Chapter 1,664: Killing, no one is rich without windfall
Chapter 1667: Killing, no one is rich without windfall
Today is the happiest and happiest day that Xu Banxia has spent since coming to Tsarist Russia. It is rare that she no longer thinks about scrap steel and business, but only thinks about accompanying Zhou Chen.
She conveyed all her enthusiasm to Zhou Chen, as if she was venting her unwillingness during this period. Zhou Chen also responded to her enthusiastically, comforting her physically and mentally...
After a long time, the wind stopped and the rain stopped.
Zhou Chen and Xu Banxia hugged each other and leaned against the bed. Xu Banxia took Zhou Chen's right hand and held it with his left hand, holding their fingers together with a happy smile on his face, looking lazy and comfortable.
"I still remember the first time we met, it was at the International Steel Fair in Luzhou. I drank too much, but you helped me, and I even vomited all over you."
"Not only did he vomit all over me, he also looked at me naked."
"hehe."
Xu Banxia was very happy when she thought about the scene that night. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen.
"At that time, I really never thought that we would have such a fate. Do you think it was a fate determined by God?"
Zhou Chen gently hugged her tightly and said softly: "Of course, from that moment on, our fate was destined. Xu Banxia will be stuck with Zhou Chen for the rest of his life."
Xu Banxia also hugged Zhou Chen vigorously, enjoying the intimacy and affection. The two just leaned together, feeling each other's temperature and heartbeat, and enjoying the tranquility of this moment.
But the quiet moment did not last long. Soon, the body temperature of the two people rose again. Amidst Xu Banxia's exclamations, Zhou Chen turned over again...
The next day, Zhou Chen and Xu Banxia were refreshed, put on their clothes, hats and scarves, and went out together.
They were going to the steel mill today to inquire about scrap steel. Xu Banxia had already checked out several steel mills in the city in the past few days, and then took Zhou Chen there one by one.
But it's a pity that even though Zhou Chen can speak Russian, they are still unwilling to let them in for talks. They can't even get through the gate, let alone find the person in charge. They only entered the factory once, but when they heard that they wanted to buy 10,000 tons
Scrap Steel's expression changed on the spot, and then he stopped talking and kicked them out.
At the end of the day, Xu Banxia was very discouraged.
"Does it seem like it's really impossible? Is the only way I can go back home?"
Zhou Chen consoled him: "Don't be so pessimistic. Just stay a few more days. Maybe there will be a chance for a turnaround. You can rest in the hotel tomorrow and I will go out alone to see the situation. Maybe there will be other ways."
"Are you alone? No, I'd better go with you."
"Don't worry, I can speak Russian, and I majored in international trade. Although I'm not from the steel industry, in terms of experience abroad, I'm more experienced than you, and it's easier for me to do things alone."
"Can."
"Stop it, trust me, you have no other choice now, right?"
Xu Banxia remained silent. Yes, she really had no other choice now, so she could only choose to believe Zhou Chen.
Back in the room, Zhou Chen took out the brush and paper.
"Ban Xia, do you still remember the faces of those liars who deceived you? Please describe them to me and I will try to see if I can draw them."
"Draw it? Zhou Chen, can you still draw?"
Xu Banxia looked surprised, and Zhou Chen said with a smile: "Let's put it this way, if I become a painter, I will definitely become a famous painter in a few decades."
Xu Banxia was hesitant, and according to what Zhou Chen said, he began to recall the appearance and characteristics of the man who had deceived them.
Zhou Chen showed off his painting skills under Xu Banxia's description, and then started painting stroke by stroke based on his understanding of the human body's facial features.
After drawing more than a dozen pieces of paper and changing it many times, an hour later, Xu Banxia looked at Zhou Chen's final draft and screamed in surprise.
"That's him, that's what he looks like. Zhou Chen, the painting you drew is at least eighty-nine percent similar to him. It's so similar."
Xu Banxia really couldn't believe that Zhou Chen could really restore such a similar portrait just by relying on the memory in her mind. It was definitely not how good she described it, but how good Zhou Chen's painting was.
"Are you still questioning my painting skills now?"
Xu Banxia shook her head like a rattle, put her hands around Zhou Chen's neck, and sat directly on Zhou Chen's lap, revealing a delicate look that was completely different from her usual strong woman aura.
"I know, you are the best."
Zhou Chen held the back of her head and kissed her lips.
"Are you interested in letting me draw you a picture?"
"Would you like to draw it for me?"
"Yes, it's just a simple sketch."
"OK."
Of course Xu Banxia readily agreed. Growing up, there were not many opportunities to be exposed to painting, let alone someone painting for her. She had never been exposed to it.
Zhou Chen drew very carefully and conscientiously, but with a real person in front of him, he drew very quickly. After a while, a fresh sketch was produced.
Although it is just a simple sketch, you can still tell at a glance that the one painted on it is Xu Banxia. Xu Banxia is holding it in his hand happily, and he cannot get enough of it.
Xu Banxia, who was so excited, rewarded Zhou Chen so hard when he was sleeping that when Zhou Chen got up the next day, she had not yet woken up.
Zhou Chen left a note for her on the bedside and then went out.
In Tsarist Russia, if you want to find someone, the police department is not necessarily reliable, because you are just a foreigner, and the local police will not do their best. Even if the embassy intervenes, it will not put much pressure on the local police.
The current regime in Tsarist Russia is very special. If he wanted to find his target in this strange city as soon as possible, Zhou Chen first thought of only one method.
That is to rely on local forces, and it is best to use local forces. The most powerful one is undoubtedly the gang force, the Tsarist Russian mafia, which is world-famous.
If it were Zhou Chen who had just traveled through time a few times, he would never want to provoke such gang forces unless he had to. But now, in this world without extraordinary beings, he is extraordinary, so he is not afraid of these forces at all.
There is no pressure to use them.
In the next two days, Zhou Chen spent his time inquiring about information and looking for a suitable target.
Late at night, in a baroque-style single-family building, Pavvich is the leader of a local gang in Moscow. He has dozens of subordinates who are engaged in various illegal industries. Today he just completed a transaction.
After making a lot of money, I took my younger brothers back home, opened a few bottles of liquor, and started partying.
The group of people became drunk while drinking and staggered around. Pavvich also staggered back to his room, fell on the bed and fell asleep.
I don't know how much time passed, but Pavvich felt anxious and sat up from the bed in a daze. But when he opened his eyes and looked ahead, a sudden cold air came out of his back.
"who?"
What answered him was a gun, and the muzzle of the gun was pressed against his forehead, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
"What do you want to do? If you want money, I can give it to you. The money is all in my pocket..."
Being pointed at a gun, he did not dare to move at all. He could only beg for mercy and looked nervously at the figure in front of him, but the figure in front of him was wearing a hat. In the darkness, the brim of the hat obscured his face, so he could not see clearly what he looked like.
"I don't want money, Pavvich, I want you to find someone for me."
After saying that, a piece of drawing paper fell on Pavvich's bed, and he took it carefully. Because the light was dim, he couldn't see clearly at all, and he didn't dare to make any big moves.
"Okay, I'll help you find him. As long as you let me go, I promise to find him."
The muzzle of the gun was suddenly put away, and Pavvich breathed a sigh of relief, and did not dare to move casually.
"Don't worry, I won't let your work go in vain. Find this person and give you a hundred thousand dollars. This is the deposit."
In Pavvich's astonished eyes, a wad of money was thrown in front of him. He took it in and saw that it turned out to be a beautiful knife. He suddenly beamed with joy.
Although this person came suddenly and the process was very unfriendly, for Mei Dao's sake, everything was fine.
"Find this person, bring him over, and hang a red cloth in front of your house. I will come to you then, and I will give you the balance. But if you play tricks on me, I can appear like this once,
It can also happen a second time.”
Pavvich was now the fish on the chopping block. Of course he did not dare to resist, not to mention that there was money to be gained. He nodded repeatedly to express his understanding.
Then, before he could see clearly what was going on, the other party left his room and jumped down from the third floor. He rushed to the window and looked down, but did not see the other party.
Four days later, a red cloth was hung in front of the door of the Baroque building.
At night, Zhou Chen saw that Xu Banxia was already asleep, so he quietly got up, got dressed, and left the room.
It was still the same room as four days ago. Zhou Chen didn't climb through the window this time, but knocked on the door directly.
"Dong dong."
As soon as the door opened, several guns were pointed at Zhou Chen, but Zhou Chen's expression remained unchanged and he walked in very calmly. He looked at Pavvich who was sitting on the chair with a cold look, and then also looked to the side.
The Chinese man who was tied up looked like the person he was looking for.
"Chinese, are you that person that night?" Pavvich stood up and looked at Zhou Chen with a ferocious face, his eyes were very unkind.
"It's me."
Pavvich stared at Zhou Chen fiercely for a while, then pointed to the tied man next to him and said, "I have found the man for you, where is the remaining fifty thousand dollars?"
Zhou Chen took out a leather bag from his arms and threw it to Pavvich. Pavvich took it, opened it and took a few glances, and immediately showed a satisfied smile.
"Very good, very good."
He laughed happily a few times, but the next moment, his expression suddenly changed: "Catch him."
Several burly boys in the room rushed towards Zhou Chen in an instant, but Zhou Chen was well prepared and had already moved before they rushed over. He quickly took two steps back and then hit one of them on the head with a whip kick.
Go up, the man just groaned and fell to the ground.
The hand that reached into his arms quickly pulled out.
"Bang……"
"Pah, pah..."
In the silent night, a series of crackling gunshots sounded, but no one dared to come close.
Within a minute, the gunfire ended. Zhou Chen slowly walked to Pavvich, who was lying on the ground, taking in less air than out, vomiting blood, and looked at him condescendingly.
"The local gangs are so rude. They don't want to make money by being friendly, but they insist on fighting to the death."
Although Pavvich and the others had eight people and six guns, and he only had one gun per person, the two sides were obviously not on the same level. In this small room, there were many people on the other side, so it was difficult to dodge. He shot
If he missed, all eight people on the opponent's side would have been hit by him.
Just quietly watching Pavvich take his last breath, eyes widened and unwilling to die.
Zhou Chen took back the leather bag that contained 50,000 U.S. dollars, and found the 50,000 U.S. dollars he gave him last time, and put them into the bag together. He didn't like the remaining rubles at all.
In front of the frightened person, he directly lifted him up.
Before walking out of here, Zhou Chen lit the place on fire and then quickly disappeared under the darkness of night.
In this era without cameras, killing people is really easy. With his skill and caution, it is impossible for the Tsarist Russian police to track him down.
…………
In the early morning, Xu Banxia suddenly felt that there was no one around him. He woke up suddenly and hurriedly turned on the light. Then he saw the note left by Zhou Chen and breathed a sigh of relief.
However, when she woke up, she was no longer sleepy. After getting dressed, she curled up on the bed and waited quietly.
Time passed by minute by second, and suddenly, the door was gently pushed open. She suddenly jumped up and became very nervous.
"Zhou Chen?"
"Ban Xia, aren't you asleep?"
Hearing Zhou Chen's voice, all Xu Banxia's nervousness and fear immediately dissipated, and he hurriedly got up from the bed and walked towards Zhou Chen.
"Where have you been in the middle of the night?"
"The person you are looking for has been found, and the money has been recovered."
Zhou Chen took off his backpack and placed it on the table.
Xu Banxia opened her backpack with a surprised look on her face, and then she saw a wad of banknotes inside. She was so frightened that she immediately closed her backpack.
"What's going on? Where did the money come from?"
Zhou Chen walked to the sofa and sat down, pulled Xu Banxia into his arms and explained.
"I paid someone to find Xiao Yang who deceived you. They are a group of professional liars. I found their lair. This money is the money they deceived you."
Xu Banxia looked at Zhou Chen carefully. Suddenly his eyes narrowed and he saw something on Zhou Chen's clothes. He reached out and touched it, and it turned out to be blood.
"What is this? Are you injured? Let me see."
Xu Banxia stood up nervously, pulled Zhou Chen to his feet, and inspected it carefully.
"I'm fine. This is not my blood. I'm really fine."
"Where have you been? Zhou Chen, how did you get this money? Tell me, what did you do? Why is there blood on you?"
Xu Banxia's eyes were red with anxiety. Zhou Chen went out in the middle of the night and came back with blood on his body. How could she not think more about it.
Zhou Chen grabbed her hands and comforted her in a low voice: "Calm down, Banxia, calm down, listen to me, sit down and listen to me, I will tell you whatever you want to know."
Xu Banxia's heart was beating wildly. She suppressed the fear in her heart, sat next to Zhou Chen, grabbed Zhou Chen's arm, and looked at Zhou Chen nervously and eagerly.
"You say, you say."
"I asked someone to find the swindler Xiao Yang and asked him to pay back the money. He refused to acknowledge or pay back the money, so I gave him a lesson and then forced him to go to his lair and get your money back.
."
Xu Banxia immediately became anxious: "Are you crazy? Is this illegal? You should hand him over to the police. It's illegal for you to beat someone privately and get the money back."
Zhou Chen held her hand and comforted: "I asked the people here, do you know? If we hand the person over to the police here, they will most likely not return the money to you, even if there is an ambassador
We need the intervention of the embassy, but this is not China after all. Can you afford to wait for half a year?"
"But even so, you can't take such a big risk. I would rather not give up the money, and I don't want you to be in danger, let alone break the law."
Zhou Chen smiled slightly and said: "I know you may find it difficult to accept it for a while, but this is Tsarist Russia, and the laws here are different from ours. It is very chaotic here. Although what I did is against the rules, no one knows.
Those scammers don’t dare to call the police, so you don’t have to worry so much.”
"But, but this..." Xu Banxia still felt something was not right.
"Ban Xia, believe me, it will be okay. With me here, it will be okay."
Under Zhou Chen's comfort, Xu Banxia slowly regained her composure. After calming down, she quickly figured out that what had happened had happened, and it would be useless to think about it. The most important thing now was that Zhou Chen was fine.
"Those things you did really won't expose yourself?"
"Don't worry, absolutely not."
Xu Banxia nodded and said, "Don't tell anyone about this except me. After today, we will completely forget about this and the money."
She stood up and paced back and forth.
"Although we got the money back, we can never use it, nor can we return it to Boss Wu and the others, otherwise they will definitely ask, which is not good for you, so we can only keep the money for ourselves, and we can't tell any third party except us.
personal."
When Zhou Chen heard Xu Banxia's words, he immediately smiled. He didn't think about being a good person. Although he did nothing wrong, he was still very happy that Xu Banxia could think of him immediately.
"Hey, why are there beautiful knives here? And there's more than 3.5 million in it, right?"
"The U.S. knife is my ex, and the remaining more than four million in total are all stolen money from that group of liars. If you think the money is not clean, then after we return to China, we will use the money to do charity and donate it to those in need.
Man, what do you think?"
Xu Banxia nodded in agreement. Although there were millions here and she was very excited, she was more sensible.
"It is said that a man will not be rich without a windfall, and a horse will not be fat without a night of grass. It is indeed true, but Zhou Chen, you must never do this kind of thing again in the future, do you hear me?"
Xu Banxia warned Zhou Chen with a serious face. She really didn't expect that the gentle Zhou Chen would do such a thing. Although she didn't know the specific details, she knew it would definitely be dangerous. While she was moved, she was also heartbroken.
alert.
Zhou Chen hugged her into his arms: "Don't worry, I am a law-abiding person. I will never do such dangerous things again in the future, I promise."
Xu Banxia breathed a sigh of relief and hugged Zhou Chen tightly. She felt that this kind of thing was illegal and very bad, but in fact, she didn't blame Zhou Chen at all. She was just worried about Zhou Chen's safety. More than three million yuan was gone.
That's all. She didn't want Zhou Chen to be in danger for her.
"I just want you to know that I care more about your safety than anything else. I'm worried to death when you haven't come back for so long. Next time something like this happens, be sure to tell me in advance. No, it's not happening.
