Just when Liu Dong got out of the taxi and walked not far, a young man holding a knife suddenly rushed out from the shadow of the trees next to him.←
"Hurry up and take out all the valuable things you have!"
When Liu Dong accidentally encountered a robber, he was not only not afraid at all, but also a bit interested. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation abroad in so many years, which was quite new.
"You want money or not? I have a life. Come and get it!" Liu Dong planned to tease the robber who had barely piqued his interest.
"You...take out the money quickly, or I will really kill someone!"
Although this man spoke harshly, it was clear from his harsh words that this was probably his first time committing such a crime and robbery.
"Are you Chinese?"
Looking at the other person's face which was not completely covered by the black scarf, Liu Dong frowned and asked.
After hearing his words, the masked robber looked at Liu Dong carefully, and then blurted out with a surprised and embarrassed look on his face: "Is it you?"
"You know me?" Liu Dong was a little surprised.
"I don't know you, please leave!"
After saying this, the robber turned around and left.
However, he wanted to leave, but Liu Dong didn't want to have such confusion in his heart. So, he stepped forward, grabbed the other person's shoulder and twisted it back. Before the other person could react, he had already removed it.
The black scarf on his face.
"It's you?"
After seeing the other party's appearance clearly, Liu Dong was suddenly surprised.
"you……!"
The robber, who had a young face exposed under the scarf, was furious at Liu Dong's actions. But when he saw what had happened, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"I remember your name is Gao Jian, right?"
The robber in front of him turned out to be the truck driver whom Liu Dong met who almost fell down when he went downstairs on the second day he arrived in Ulaanbaatar and stayed at the hotel.
"yes!"
After being recognized by Liu Dong, the young man simply didn't leave anymore.
"Aren't you driving a truck? Why are you here...?"
"Is this a robbery here?" Gao Jian said with a wry smile.
Liu Dong nodded.
"Actually, I don't want to either! But I can't help it!" Gao Jian's slightly pale face showed a complex expression of hatred and regret.
"Are you encountering any difficulties? Why don't you tell me, maybe I can help you!" From the other person's words, Liu Dong could tell that there was something inside.
Although the two have only met once, if they see compatriots in trouble abroad, they will help if they can! And Liu Dong also has this ability.
Liu Dong's words made Gao Jian's eyes light up instantly.
There was also a flush of excitement on his face. But soon when he was about to speak out his words, he became hesitant again.
Liu Dong has seen this expression a lot now, so he smiled and said: "Are you short of money?"
"Yes!" Gao Jian said with a look of shame on his face.
"Tell me, how much do you need?"
"Two...two million rubles!" Gao Jian showed a trace of desire on his face.
"Two million rubles?"
"How about one million?" Gao Jian said quickly.
Seeing the other party's anxious look, Liu Dong smiled, took out the checkbook from the mustard space, wrote a check for two million rubles and handed it over.
Two million rubles is only about 200,000 Chinese coins, which is not even a drop of money to Liu Dong. It would touch the other party's sensitive self-esteem, and Liu Dong did not ask the other party what he would use the money for.
Moreover, he believed in his own feeling that the young man named Gao Jian in front of him was not a liar, let alone a bad person!
"This is a check for two million rubles from Alfa Bank. They have a branch in Irkutsk. You can go and get it tomorrow!"
This Alpha Bank checkbook was drawn when he came to Russia, and this is the first time he has used it.
"This this……!"
Gao Jian looked at the check in Liu Dong's hand, blushing and wanting to take it with heartbeat. But he was too embarrassed. After all, this was a huge sum of money, and the relationship between the two was just a chance encounter!
Liu Dong could understand the other party's inner feelings, so he wrote his own phone number on the back of the check, which was of course fake.
"This is my phone number. I will lend you the money for now and just pay it back to me later!"
"Thank you, thank you so much!"
After taking the check from Liu Dong with both hands, Gao Jian said with gratitude on his face.
"You're welcome! Rely on friends when you go out. We are all Chinese, so we should help each other! ... If nothing happens, I'll leave first!"
"etc!"
"Why is there anything else?" Liu Dong turned around and asked.
"I haven't asked for your name yet?" Gao Jian said quickly.
"My name is Liu Dong! Oh, by the way, stop robbing people on the road! It's very dangerous!"
"Thanks!"
After smiling and nodding, Liu Dong turned and left.
Seeing his figure getting further and further away under the bright light of the street lamp, Gao Jian was filled with gratitude. He held the check given by Liu Dong tightly in his hand and was extremely excited.
"Uncle Gao is finally saved!"
…
The casual act of helping others did not hold much place in Liu Dong's heart. Now he has more important things to do.
July and August are the hottest and most comfortable times of the year in Irkutsk. Of course, they are also the richest nightlife and the most suitable time to go out for fun at night. However, the yacht pier is far away from the bustling areas of the city.
It's on the outskirts of the city. So here, there aren't many people after nine o'clock in the evening!
As for the security measures on the pier, which may be described as strict to ordinary people, but for Liu Dong, it does not have much effect at all.
It was easy for Liu Dong to cross the blockade and enter the yacht he rented. If the yacht party at night had not aroused unnecessary suspicion, Liu Dong would not have to be so careful.
Thanks to the sophisticated American engines, Liu Dong did not attract the attention of the shore guards when he drove the yacht slowly out of the channel.
To avoid alarming others, Liu Dong deliberately slowed down, so the time it took to enter Lake Baikal from the Irkutsk River was nearly twice as long as it was in the afternoon.
Looking at Lake Baikal shrouded in darkness, which although not as big as the real ocean, was just as choppy, Liu Dong took a deep breath, pressed the operating lever with his right hand, and the double-decker yacht started speeding on the lake like an arrow from a string.
Originally, he didn't plan to come over at night, but after Guo Kai talked about it, he realized that the enemy was getting closer and closer. In order not to be caught off guard, he had to use as many trump cards as possible.
All ready.
Therefore, Liu Dong is not willing to wait any longer, he must hurry up even if it takes only a few hours!
"How could it not be?"
Combining the places he had searched this afternoon, Liu Dong had searched all the tens of thousands of square kilometers of lakes surrounding Irkutsk. But he still could not find any trace of Nicholas II's treasure.
"Are all records about treasures false?" Liu Dong didn't want to believe this answer.
If this is the case, then almost all his plans for the past half month will come to nothing.
"Maybe I should go down and have a look!"
After finding nothing, Liu Dong thought for a while and thought to himself.
Now the search radius of his relic Yuan Guang is only 1,300 meters, while the depth of many places in Lake Baikal reaches about 1,600 meters. Moreover, because there is a lot of sediment accumulated on the bottom of the lake, the actual depth of some crevices on the bottom of the lake exceeds 10 kilometers! This
It is almost comparable to the Mariana Trench, the deepest part of the world's oceans.
He did whatever he thought of. Unwilling to fail, Liu Dong changed into his diving suit, put the yacht into the mustard space, and then free-falled into Lake Baikal!
Now Liu Dong can withstand the water pressure of 1,300 meters, and can hold his breath for more than two hours, so he doesn't feel any psychological pressure at all when he goes into the water.
However, after spending several hours checking the depths of the southern part of Lake Baikal, Liu Dong still did not find the treasure, but he did not have any clues.
Looking at the flat gold bar weighing about 1,000 grams in his hand, Liu Dong showed joy on his face.
"Finally found some clues!"
Looking at the double-headed eagle logo on the bottom of the gold bar, Liu Dong said happily.
The double-headed eagle is the national emblem of the Russian Empire, and Liu Dong knew it very well. But what he didn't know was why there were only a few gold bars, but no treasure.
"Could it be...!"
With a thought in his heart, Liu Dong looked up and looked at a place 300 meters away from him. Because a crack at the bottom of the lake with a length of more than 1,500 meters, a width of more than 200 meters, and an unknown depth appeared there!
Through the relic Yuanguang Liu Dong discovered that the scattered gold at the bottom of the lake all leads to this crack! But after passing the crack, it disappears!
"Is it possible that all the gold was sucked into this gap by the undercurrent at the bottom of the lake?"
Liu Dong shook his head. He knew how heavy gold was. From his own experience, although the lake here was turbulent, it was not strong enough to sweep away the gold.
However, Liu Dong finally found some golden clues and was unwilling to give up.
No matter what the final result is, you must keep no regrets in your heart.
Thinking of this, Liu Dong made a decision in his heart.
Of course, he would definitely not be able to withstand the water pressure deeper in the gap, but Liu Dong also had his own methods. So, he quickly used the relic Yuanguang and mustard seeds to drill into the space just like he had when he encountered a sea storm in the Baltic Sea.
to the bottom of the lake.
Laterally, vertically, horizontally, vertically, after repeating several times, the turbulent lake water behind him disappeared. After taking an oxygen bottle from the mustard space and putting it on himself, Liu Dong used the relic Yuan Guang to check the cracks and subsidence.
direction and chased all the way underground.
Without the resistance of the lake water, Liu Dong would undoubtedly move much faster if he ran with his feet alone.
However, the depth of this crack was beyond his expectation, and it was not until tens of thousands of meters later that he truly reached its bottom.
