Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 1442: Wait for a Reply

After walking around the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the middle-aged driver bumped into Vladimir 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 glanced in the direction where he had hidden the items.

Vladimir 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 driver laughed as he looked at the sky. Then he said, “Major General Huo is on vacation. Cereus wants to come to Siberia for a private road trip with him. I helped them with some immigration procedures. They’ve just completed them. I’ll fax them over now.”

“Huo Shaoheng is on vacation? He’s coming to our place for a private road trip?” Vladimir frowned.

Peter replied softly, “The Huaxia Empire has just completed a large military parade and exercise. He should be on vacation, right?”

“Oh.” Vladimir’s brows furrowed slightly. He glanced at the middle-aged driver. “That’s enough. Hurry up and pass the completed procedures to them.”

“Okay!” the driver ran away in a flash.

As he stared at the bear-like figure of the driver running away like a rabbit, Vladimir 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 blade to cut off the end of the cigar, and then took out a lighter to light it.

When the flame turned bright blue, he brought the cigar closer and lit it with the bright blue flame.

The cigar’s head gradually turned black, 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.

Vladimir placed 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 was completely different from smoking a normal cigarette.

Peter stood quietly by the side like a shadow that would never wake up.

Vladimir 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 to come to Siberia on a road trip.”

Peter’s eyelids drooped and he said lightly, “... it makes sense for him to accompany his fiancée, right?”

“His country and his army will always take first place in his heart. I don’t think Cereus will be able to influence his decision alone.” Vladimir’s expression revealed his bewilderment. “Only an idiot like Ivan would believe something like accompanying a woman on a private road trip.”

As Vladimir spoke, he took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Gu Nianzhi, asking her when she would come over and vacation.

Gu Nianzhi did not respond.

Vladimir sent another message to her QQ, but there was still no response.

Vladimir chuckled.

Peter’s lips twitched. “Okay, I’ll go take a look.”

“Wait,” Vladimir 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.”

Vladimir 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.

Vladimir 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, Vladimir looked up and saw the middle-aged driver stick his head out of the car to greet him. A happy grin was plastered on his face and he naturally appeared quite optimistic. This sparked his bad mood once more and Vladimir’s melancholy 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 the completed procedures. Major General Huo even thanked me.”

Vladimir 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?!”

Vladimir, “... 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 been completed.

He immediately said to Yin Shixiong, “Prepare a private plane for me. I’m going to Siberia, Russia. Rent me a car at the airport.”

Yin Shixiong immediately went to arrange a private plane for him.

Not long after, the plane 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 plane, 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 hours later, Huo Shaoheng arrived at the Tunguska region of Siberia.

Last time, he had brought Gu Nianzhi along from Mos City to this place to meet up with Song Jinning.

Six months ago, a strange high-energy magnetic field had suddenly appeared here, attracting the attention of Russian and Huaxia scientists.

However, the strange high-energy magnetic field had suddenly appeared and disappeared.

The Huaxia Empire had obtained a large amount of data and was currently in the midst of intense research.

After Huo Shaoheng got off the private plane, 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 black 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 place you visited in the first half of the year.”

Zhao Liangze contacted Huo Shaoheng through the Nandou satellite communication 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 place.

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 accelerator 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 slammed 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 black SUV parked quietly at the edge of the sinkhole. It formed a black 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 was coming 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 satellite communication 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.”
