<h4>Chapter 1442: Wait for a Reply</h4>
After walking around the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the middle-aged driver bumped into dimir and Peter. He had been humming a tune as he strolled.
“Boss, Peter, what are you doing here?” the middle-aged driver chuckled as he hid Huo Shaoheng’s immigration papers behind his back.
Peter nced in the direction where he had hidden the items.
dimir did not notice it at all. He simply replied, “I should be the one asking you, what are you doing here? Is this somewhere you would usually visit?”
“Hahaha, the weather is really nice today...” the middle-aged driverughed as he looked at the sky. Then he said, “Major General Huo is on vacation. Cereus wants toe to Siberia for a private road trip with him. I helped them with some immigration procedures. They’ve justpleted them. I’ll fax them over now.”
“Huo Shaoheng is on vacation? He’sing to our ce for a private road trip?” dimir frowned.
Peter replied softly, “The Huaxia Empire has justpleted arge military parade and exercise. He should be on vacation, right?”
“Oh.” dimir’s brows furrowed slightly. He nced at the middle-aged driver. “That’s enough. Hurry up and pass thepleted procedures to them.”
“Okay!” the driver ran away in a sh.
As he stared at the bear-like figure of the driver running away like a rabbit, dimir was both tickled and amused.
He went to the Internal Affairs Department to settle some matters with Peter. Then, he recalled what the middle-aged driver had just said.
He took out a cigar from his pocket, used a de to cut off the end of the cigar, and then took out a lighter to light it.
When the me turned bright blue, he brought the cigar closer and lit it with the bright blue me.
The cigar’s head gradually turned ck, and a grayish-white color appeared at the edge. There were even a few scarlet sparks within it as wisps of green smoke drifted out.
dimir ced the burnt cigar into his mouth. He took a big puff in satisfaction and then exhaled the smoke from his mouth. He closed his eyes to relish the lingering fragrance.
Smoking a cigar waspletely different from smoking a normal cigarette.
Peter stood quietly by the side like a shadow that would never wake up.
dimir quietly smoked half a cigar before saying, “Head to Siberia and keep an eye on Huo Shaoheng. I don’t believe that he has the spare time toe to Siberia on a road trip.”
Peter’s eyelids drooped and he said lightly, “... it makes sense for him to apany his fiancée, right?”
“His country and his army will always take first ce in his heart. I don’t think Cereus will be able to influence his decision alone.” dimir’s expression revealed his bewilderment. “Only an idiot like Ivan would believe something like apanying a woman on a private road trip.”
As dimir spoke, he took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Gu Nianzhi, asking her when she woulde over and vacation.
Gu Nianzhi did not respond.
dimir sent another message to her QQ, but there was still no response.
dimir chuckled.
Peter’s lips twitched. “Okay, I’ll go take a look.”
“Wait,” dimir called out to him again. He lowered his head and took a few puffs of his cigar. He blew out a puff of smoke and savored the sweet aftertaste before saying, “Keep an eye on him from the shadows. Can you do that?”
Peter thought about it seriously for a moment. “I’ll try my best. What if he finds out?”
He didn’t seem very confident that he could keep a close eye on Huo Shaoheng.
“If he finds out, we’ll admit it openly. Anyway, we would always send scouts to keep an eye on people like him whenever they visit our country. This time, Ivan, that idiot, opened the back door. Hopefully, nothing will go wrong.”
dimir had a bad feeling. His eyelids were twitching violently.
“Alright, then I’ll be leaving.” Peter nodded and turned to leave the Internal Affairs Department.
dimir felt lonely once more and sighed deeply.
He missed Lyna.
He really regretted not confessing earlier. This way, the two of them could have made more memories together, so that he could savor them for the rest of his long life.
As he walked out of the Internal Affairs Department, dimir looked up and saw the middle-aged driver stick his head out of the car to greet him. A happy grin was stered on his face and he naturally appeared quite optimistic. This sparked his bad mood once more and dimir’s mncholy instantly disappeared.
He stepped forward and kicked the car door. He got into the car and sat down. “Drive!”
The middle-aged driver happily hummed a tune and said, “I’ve already faxed over thepleted procedures. Major General Huo even thanked me.”
dimir did not want to see his smug face. He said coldly, “Have you asked Cereus? Has she replied to you?”
The chauffeur shrugged and said excitedly, “No. She’s been quite busy recently. She said she that was going to form her own team. She’s the Senate’s chief counsel. Isn’t that great?!”
dimir, “... You were aware of all these?”
However, he was in a better mood. He stopped staring at his phone and waited for Gu Nianzhi to reply.
...
Huo Shaoheng received a fax from the middle-aged driver. All the procedures had beenpleted.
He immediately said to Yin Shixiong, “Prepare a private ne for me. I’m going to Siberia, Russia. Rent me a car at the airport.”
Yin Shixiong immediately went to arrange a private ne for him.
Not long after, the ne whizzed into the blue sky and flew in the direction of Siberia.
Huo Shaoheng was still in close contact with Zhao Liangze and the Russians on the ne, keeping an eye on the progress of the car.
Both satellites were tuned to the direction of Siberia and tracking the country via the image recognition system.
Two hourster, Huo Shaoheng arrived at the Tunguska region of Siberia.
Last time, he had brought Gu Nianzhi along from Mos City to this ce to meet up with Song Jinning.
Six months ago, a strange high-energy maic field had suddenly appeared here, attracting the attention of Russian and Huaxia scientists.
However, the strange high-energy maic field had suddenly appeared and disappeared.
The Huaxia Empire had obtained arge amount of data and was currently in the midst of intense research.
After Huo Shaoheng got off the private ne, he picked up the Russian Garth SUV he had rented at the airport.
This car had the typical characteristics of a Russian car. It was big and ck in shape, but it was resistant to destruction. It performed well in the wild terrains.
Huo Shaoheng was dressed like a foreign tourist. The car was fully equipped. Just like that, he drove into the vast forest of Siberia alone.
“Huo, the other party is already quite close to the Tunguska region of Siberia.”
“Yes, the ce you visited in the first half of the year.”
Zhao Liangze contacted Huo Shaoheng through the Nandou satellitemunication and navigation system. He coordinated with their field personnel in Russia and guided the SUV.
Huo Shaoheng wanted to drive the SUV like a supersonic fighter jet and rampage through the wilderness. He would never take a detour if he could, and would never stop if he could.
After speeding for an hour, they finally arrived near the sinkhole within Siberia’s Tunguska region.
Zhao Liangze told him that the car had stopped at this ce.
Huo Shaoheng was burning with anxiety. He drove the SUV at high speed, but a big rock blocked the road. He didn’t want to take a detour, so he hit the elerator and the entire car crashed into the big rock, pushing it away. There was only a slight scratch on the front of the car.
Peter, who was following behind him, saw this and stopped quietly.
He stopped his car in the middle of the road and leaned against the car door. He took out a cigar and lit it. He put it in his mouth and took a puff. He exhaled white smoke and closed his eyes to relish the unique fragrance of the cigar that remained in his mouth.
...
Huo Shaoheng’s expression was solemn. He rushed to the front of the Tunguska sinkhole and mmed the brakes.
In the distance, the blue sky was clear. There were white clouds and water in the sinkhole, reflecting the blue sky.
It was extremely quiet. There were trees and grass everywhere.
The ck SUV parked quietly at the edge of the sinkhole. It formed a ck silhouette that stung Huo Shaoheng’s eyes.
Was there anyone inside?
Was Nianzhi inside?
Huo Shaoheng had always been calm and collected, but now his palms were sweating.
After a while, he let go of the steering wheel, pushed open the car door, and jumped out.
He was wearing a hunting suit and a bulletproof vest. He held a gun in his hand and pointed it in the direction of the car as he walked over step by step.
The car was parked sideways at the edge of the sinkhole.
It was facing the direction where Huo Shaoheng wasing from.
He could see through the car window.
As expected, there was no one inside.
Where was she?
Where did she go?!
Huo Shaoheng put on his infrared lenses and looked over again.
These lenses could visualize the interior of the vehicle through the body of the car.
If someone was hiding inside, he would be able to see it without opening the car door.
However, the infrared lenses indicated that there was no one in the car. There was nothing hiding inside, not even a suitcase.
Huo Shaoheng’s face darkened. He kept an eye on his surroundings as he walked over step by step.
Through his earpiece, Zhao Liangze was reporting the image information obtained from the Nandou satellitemunication system.
“Huo Shao, the satellite tracking indicates that after the car stopped there, a person got out of the car and jumped into the sinkhole. I’ll send you the image taken by the satellite.”
