Sharapova smiled brightly and saluted, obviously very satisfied with this task.
After the grand reception, the next morning Ye Bufan got on a Far East military helicopter and flew directly to the far north.
Sitting on the plane and looking at the scenery under his feet, he sighed in his heart.
Originally, the Far East was located in the north, with low temperatures and sparsely populated areas. This became more and more like this the further north you went, to the point where you could barely see people, let alone roads and other basic facilities.
Fortunately, we came by helicopter, otherwise it would be really troublesome.
After flying for four or five hours, the plane stopped at a temporary military tarmac.
Sharapova said: "Mr. Ye, the weather gets worse the further north you go, the plane can only fly here, and you can only walk the rest of the way."
Ye Bufan nodded. This location is basically at the edge of the Far North. The climate is extremely harsh, and there will be snowstorms from time to time. It is indeed no longer suitable for aircraft flying.
Sharapova added: "There is a small town ahead, called Ice Edge City. I will take you there to find a guide now."
Ye Bufan said: "Thank you."
The two got off the plane, and Sharapova directly called 10 personal guards, and then they got into a military jeep and drove into Icefield City.
When he came here, Ye Bufan finally realized what it meant to be in a vast land with few people. He was used to the hustle and bustle of China, but he was really not used to it here.
Although you can see residents in the city, they are widely spaced apart from each other, and each house has a large area.
Sharapova said while driving, "Mr. Ye, the name of the person I am taking you to find is Kara, nicknamed Ice Mouse, and he has been hanging around in the underground world all year round.
He has no other skills, but his ability to identify directions is unparalleled, and he often leads people to and from the far north."
Ye Bufan said: "Does this person have a good relationship with you?"
Sharapova said: "I can't say we have a good relationship. We were arrested by our military because of a special incident before, and we cooperated several times later."
In a large courtyard on the outskirts of Bingyuan City, an extremely slovenly middle-aged man was sitting on a worn-out sofa.
He had a big red rosacea, his hair was messy and greasy, he hadn't taken a shower in an unknown amount of time, and he was wearing a worn-out cotton-padded jacket, with cotton wool already exposed in many places.
He held a shiny chicken leg in his left hand and a bottle of vodka in his right leg. He was chewing on the chicken leg and drinking wine.
"Everyone, I, Carla, only have one person. Since everyone wants to hire me as a guide, let's compete fairly. I will go with whoever offers the higher price."
This person was Carla. Opposite him stood twenty or thirty people, all of whom were dressed in all kinds of strange clothes. Some wore hats, some had bald heads, and some wore various national costumes. They seemed to come from all over the world.
"Okay, I'll pay you $10,000."
A bearded man shouted first.
"Go, go, go... That's the far north. Every time I go there, I'm risking my life. What kind of trouble is it to come here with 10,000 US dollars? My Kara's appearance fee starts at 100,000 US dollars. It won't be a penny less."
As soon as he said these words, some people were scared away.
However, there are still wealthy people. A big man wearing a hat shouted: "Isn't it just one hundred thousand US dollars? I'll give it."
Kara chuckled: "This is reliable, let's continue, I will go with whoever pays more.
Let me tell you, when you go to the Far North, I, Carla, am definitely the best guide. This money is not in vain. If you have me take you there, it will be like having an extra life."
After the guy promoted himself, he started chewing on chicken legs and drinking vodka.
"I will pay 150,000..."
"I will pay 200,000..."
"I will pay 300,000..."
Listening to the higher and higher quotations, Kara smiled happily and breathed out a strong breath of alcohol.
At this moment, another voice sounded at the door: "I will offer 1 million."
Someone actually took out 1 million US dollars at once. Everyone looked at the sound and saw a handsome man and woman walking in. It was Ye Bufan and Sharapova.
After Kara saw Sharapova, she jumped down from the sofa and was about to run, but she heard the sound of a gun being pulled behind her and stopped quickly.
"Run, why don't you run?"
Sharapova looked at him with a joking look on her face and said.
Kara quickly turned around, her big greasy face smiling like a flower, "The most beautiful Miss Sharapova in the world, how could I run away when I saw you?"
I was just going to make you coffee, if you don’t like it then forget it.”
"Cut the nonsense."
Sharapova turned around and said to everyone present, "We have reserved this person for the Far East Military. You all can go."
Although those present were unwilling to give up, when they saw the black muzzle of the gun in the soldier's hand, they did not dare to say anything and left the place obediently.
No matter how tough a person is here, they don’t dare to compete with the military. After all, the guide can still find someone else, and he only has one life.
Seeing these people gone, Carla grinned heartbrokenly. In his eyes, these people were just green dollars.
Sharapova said: "This is General Shevchenko's most distinguished guest, Mr. Ye Bufan. I need you to take him to the far north. The price is whatever you want."
Kara put on a helpless fake smile: "Ms. Sharapova, are you kidding me? How can I be so embarrassed to ask for money to do things for the military? I am absolutely providing the best service for free?"
"Since your style is so high, I will praise you to the general."
Sharapova originally wanted to pat Kara on the shoulder, but looking at his extremely dirty cotton-padded jacket, she finally took her white and tender hands back.
She turned around and said: "Mr. Ye, I'm going back first, but I will reserve a helicopter for you here. When you come back from the far north, call me, and I will send someone to pick you up and fly you back immediately."
Kara was about to bite the chicken leg in her hand, but she was stunned after hearing this.
He has been here for so many years, but he has never seen the powerful military being so polite to a person. What is the origin of this young man?
But this daze only passed away for a moment, and then he started drinking again and eating chicken legs in big gulps.
After finishing speaking, Sharapova said to Kara: "From now on, Mr. Ye will be left to you. If you make Mr. Ye even the slightest bit dissatisfied, don't show up in Siberia in the future."
Kara said: "Ms. Sharapova, you are kidding me. How could I not do my best in the things assigned by the military?"
You can rest assured that I will bring Mr. Ye back from the far north safely, without missing a hair."
"Mr. Ye, I'm going back now. I wish you good luck."
Sharapova said and gave Ye Bufan a big hug, kissed him gently on the cheek, and then left with the soldiers.
Kara took a sip of wine and said: "Mr. Ye, I really envy you. I haven't seen Miss Sharapova kiss anyone in so many years."
Ye Bufan glanced at him and said, "Now that Sharapova is gone, let's talk about our affairs."
