Restarting life in Siheyuan

A few days later, in the Repulse Bay villa area, the security guards' villas were replaced. On the surface, there was no change except for the addition of two reinforced police dogs. With these, Zhu Xuefeng believed that no one would be able to sneak into the villa easily.

"Qianqian, I have to go. Daya, the madam's safety will be in your hands from now on." Zhu Xuefeng patted Daya's head. Daya has grown a lot and is now Wu Qianqian's right-hand man. Now she has an additional arduous responsibility.

Daya was still in a daze. She felt the master's magic once again. She just closed her eyes, as if she had a sleep. Then she, Erya and Sanya became much stronger. She didn't know that for the sake of safety, the three of them were strengthened in a confused manner.

"Master, don't worry, Madam will be fine with us here!"

Seeing that the master was still looking at her with a smile, Daya blushed and spoke quickly that in the future, whenever she went out, she would be the mistress's shadow. She was originally the mistress's personal assistant, so this was the best and would not attract the attention of those who were interested.

Instead of returning to the capital, Zhu Xuefeng flew directly to the autonomous region. Qiu Hong, who was teaching Yan Zi to practice martial arts, was called back to Pagang.

"Remember the casino we broke into last time?"

"Crimson eyes?"

"Yes, it was them. Their boss Nick was crazy and wanted to kidnap me and demand a ransom of 50 million. He ended up finding Xiangjiang and kidnapped Qianqian when he saw that I was not there."

Qiu Hong was shocked. She had protected Wu Qianqian in Hong Kong for a year and knew how important Wu Qianqian was.

"Then why are you here now? Has the problem been resolved?" Qiu Hong wanted to ask about Wu Qianqian's situation, but when she saw Zhu Xuefeng looked normal, she understood.

"What do you think? This time it's resolved, but think about this Nick, will he stop?"

Zhu Xuefeng lit a cigarette. The moment Nick came to his door, his fate was already sealed. He didn't have time to run around, but now he had Qiu Hong.

"Husband, I know what to do. I can leave today."

Qiu Hong understood that Nick must be eliminated, and since her husband was not available now, she had to go there.

"Don't worry, there are still a few days left. Hong Kong still needs to prepare for you. You should go to the Eastern European Office after you finish your work. During the period when I am studying abroad, I need you to pass on information for me. I may arrive a few days later than you. The day after tomorrow, you will take a special plane to Hong Kong, and someone will arrange all the trivial matters."

"By the way, from now on, just show your true face to others. There's no need to wear a mask anymore."

"But…"

"No buts, that's it."

Zhu Xuefeng always felt that a serious and expressionless face was more likely to attract other people's attention. Besides, Europeans also had face blindness and different aesthetic standards for Asians. To Asians, Qiu Hong was stunning, but to Europeans, she might not be as eye-catching as the expressionless face.

Qiu Hong left quietly, and Zhu Xuefeng stayed in the autonomous region for a few more days. The preliminary preparations for "Plan Z" were in place. After repeated instructions, Zhu Xuefeng returned to Beijing.

This time we didn't stay for too long and flew directly to Moscow. Three days later, we boarded the plane again in disappointment. Even with the help of four white-eyed buzzards, we still couldn't find any information about Guli Nazha.

After getting off the plane, I did not report to the embassy or go to school, but came to a secluded small building.

I have been here several times, but this is the first time I came here on my own initiative. After a while, I met the person I was looking for this time, and he seemed a little surprised and delighted.

"Oh, my dear Comrade Zhu, I didn't expect to have the chance to meet you again. Do you want to continue our cooperation? I know that you like these green banknotes as much as we do."

The tall figure came up and gave a warm hug.

"Colonel Alexander, I am indeed here to seek cooperation, but I still have to ask you to let go. Your warm hug makes me feel suffocated."

The man then smiled and let go, looking at Zhu Xuefeng with interest. Mr. Zhu's words seemed to reveal information different from what he had imagined.

This Colonel Alexander was the officer whom he met by chance on the plane two years ago. He discovered by chance that Zhu Xuefeng had left the country many times during his studies. Being smart, he immediately found the possibility of cooperation.

It is about exchanging foreign currency. The underground exchange rate between rubles and US dollars has a huge arbitrage space in the black market in Eastern Europe. However, as special personnel stationed here, they have no chance to leave, so a yellow man who can frequently travel to Eastern Europe has become the object of their investigation.

In order to facilitate entry and exit, after being taken away for a private chat at the airport, Zhu Xuefeng agreed to this kind of cooperation. Within a year, with the colonel providing funds and using secret contact points in Eastern Europe, the two sides cooperated to arbitrage nearly 160,000 US dollars, and Zhu Xuefeng received 20,000 US dollars.

Because it is a black market, its scale has never been able to grow and the risks are very high. Although Zhu Xuefeng looks down on it, this money is a huge fortune for Alexander and his partners, and it can make them give up their faith.

“Dear Comrade Zhu, I see sadness in your eyes. My dear brother, you seem to be in trouble. Do you need my help?”

Alexander opened the cigar box and handed him a cigar. Zhu Xuefeng shook his head and took out a cigarette from his pocket. The two sat face to face, puffing away at each other.

"That's right, Comrade Colonel. I have a friend who I can't contact right now. I miss her very much and I need your help."

Alexander shrugged with a relaxed look on his face. "We are professionals in finding people. Finding people is also our job. It has nothing to do with our friendship. I am very interested in what happened to your friend and who she is."

At this moment, Colonel Alexander looked more like a shrewd businessman, with a cunning look in his eyes. It was easy for them to find someone in this area. He was thinking about how to get the most benefit from this oriental man, but Zhu Xuefeng's next words made his face seem to change.

"Her real name is Gulinaza, now called Anfia. She used to be a flight attendant flying to East Berlin. I don't know what happened to her."

The colonel's face seemed to turn very ugly for a moment, and after a while he looked at Zhu Xuefeng with a strange expression.

"What is your relationship? Why are you asking about her?"

Colonel Alexander's question made Zhu Xuefeng realize immediately that this person must know something. He had found the right person. This Alexander was not as firm in belief as he seemed on the surface. He was greedy in his bones, otherwise he would not have traded foreign exchange privately. There was indeed something going on.

"We are just friends, dear Colonel. I first met her on the same flight that I met you. It has been several months since I last saw her. I miss her very much. It is undeniable that she is a charming girl, isn't she?"

As the regional intelligence chief of East Berlin, he certainly knew who Anfia was. They were all tasked with approaching and seducing international students, and she seemed to have succeeded. Mr. Zhu still couldn't forget her. In his mind, Anfia was just a very low-level swallow, an insignificant little person who was arrested for suspected private investigation of certain information. Swallows of her level had little use value, because after investigation, it was confirmed that she had no organization at all, and her private investigation was purely personal behavior, so she was just secretly detained now.

"Oh, I see. I also know this charming girl. I have enjoyed her services on flights many times. Unfortunately, we haven't seen her for a long time. If we want to find her, it will be very difficult because I am sure that she is not in East Germany."

This shrewd Alexander seemed to deliberately indicate the difficulty of the investigation. Zhu Xuefeng had a feeling that he knew the whereabouts of Guli Nazha. He had many thoughts for a while, but he soon calmed down and spread out his hands.

"Comrade Colonel, what's your price?"

The colonel was very excited by Zhu Xuefeng's straightforwardness. Such a straightforward Oriental man was so cute. He just raised two fingers and said that this Oriental man had earned 20,000 yuan last year. Alexander didn't mind earning it all back.

Zhu Xuefeng was stunned. Two hundred thousand? That was a big appetite. He raised a finger without hesitation and shrugged, "No more, and I need to see someone."

Alexander was a little annoyed. "Dear Mr. Zhu, your request makes me feel embarrassed. This is an impossible task. Besides, with only $10,000, do you think I can afford to let her come here?"

Zhu Xuefeng then realized that he had made a mistake in the currency unit. Indeed, ten thousand dollars was something that the colonel could not earn for several years. It seemed like a lot, but if he brought him to East Germany, it seemed not enough.

"How about this, 20,000 is 20,000, but my conditions remain unchanged. You have to hand the person over to me."

Colonel Alexander shook his head. "No, no, no, dear brother, even if you give me 100,000, I can't bring her here. If I just check her information, I think I can do it. Bring her here. You overestimate our ability."

Zhu Xuefeng has confirmed that this person who knows Guli Nazha's other identity should also know her whereabouts. This is enough. He directly took out ten thousand US dollars from his backpack and handed it over.

"I'll pay the other half after I see her current photo and get her detailed information."

Colonel Alexander was very happy that Zhu Xuefeng suddenly became cheerful again. You know, last year six of his companions raised funds and put in so much capital, and it took them a year to earn 160,000 yuan, which had to be divided among six people.

Now, you can get 20,000 yuan with just a simple message, and there is no need to split it. This is very suitable. Mr. Zhu only earned 20,000 yuan last year, and now it can all be his at once. This is very suitable, isn't it?

"As you wish, my brother, you will receive the photos and information, I confirm."

"Then it's a pleasure to work with you, my Colonel."

After leaving the base in Alexandria and reporting to the embassy, ​​Zhu Xuefeng began his study abroad again.

The reason why the school took the initiative to invite Zhu Xuefeng to study abroad became clear. The two professors wanted Zhu Xuefeng to conduct research on the application of rare earths in metal materials according to the ideas he proposed at the time. Zhu Xuefeng did not intend to disclose his key information for future generations, even if they were in the same camp, but it was easy to just get some small results.

Unlike graduate students, the current homework is very easy, there are few courses, and many people spend a long time in the laboratory. For Zhu Xuefeng, he has plenty of time to arrange his own time, which is very suitable.

Zhu Xuefeng is reading the information sent by the autonomous region.

Zhu Xuefeng looked at the signature date of the report. It was four days ago. Information transmission now takes too much time. Li Xiaojun's information has to be transferred several times and has to be sent by someone from Eastern Europe. The timeliness is too poor.

Zhu Xuefeng silently lit a cigarette and burned the report.

"Why is there no news about Miss Yang's news reporting team in North America? Please include this in your next report."

"Yes, Your Highness." The person who came from Eastern Europe to deliver the message was also a member of the Yang family, who had studied in Europe before.

"You go out for a while." After asking the messenger who delivered the letter to stay outside, Zhu Xuefeng asked about Qiu Hong who came with him.

"It's going well."

"It went very smoothly! When I went there, he was just about to gather people to cause trouble for the supermarket chain."

It was only then that Zhu Xuefeng realized that the supermarket also had shares in Dongsheng Company, and it was very likely that Nick had this in mind.

"This time he brought you here to familiarize yourself with the route. If there is any news during this period, you will be the one to run. Is it difficult?"

This was his plan, and Qiu Hong should not object to his arrangement, but Qiu Hong was obviously feeling a little embarrassed.

"Tell me, what are your concerns?"

"My husband, I don't understand the language of these barbarians."

Zhu Xuefeng then realized that there were indeed some problems with his arrangements. When he went to North America and came here, there were special people to arrange trivial matters so that Qiu Hong could get things done smoothly. There was no way to communicate, so it was indeed inappropriate to let her be a messenger.

"How about I arrange for someone to send you back and continue to protect Miss Wu in Hong Kong."

Qiu Hong hesitated for a moment, "Xiangjiang is now guarded by three little girls, nothing will happen, can I follow my husband? I have been in Xiangjiang for a year, and I have made little progress."

Zhu Xuefeng understood that Qiu Hong had a strong sense of urgency. She was now over 27 years old and wanted to practice with him to speed up the process. However, although he had free time now, he had no suitable place to live and could not accommodate her at all. He could not hide her in the space, as she would not be able to practice there.

I felt a little headache for a moment, so I had to tell the truth, "You can't stay now. The management here is very strict. You go back first and let me think of a solution. Don't worry, your problem will be solved."

After seeing off the messenger and Qiu Hong, he really wanted to use his free time to meet Alexander, but he was worried that Alexander would notice his excessive impatience and take precautions, so he had to concentrate on studying aerodynamics that he had not completed last time.

The focus of this research is to study the force characteristics, gas flow laws and accompanying physical and chemical changes of aircraft or other objects in relative motion with air or other gases.

The research was not going smoothly because there were a few things on my mind that I couldn't let go of. One was the matter of Guli Nazha. Alexander hasn't contacted me yet. Another was that there was no new information reported from Li Xiaojun.
