Water has a source and trees have roots. It turns out that the source of everything is here.

Li Muye looked at the middle-aged man intently, remembering the wedding photo he had set on fire before leaving home at the age of thirteen. He looked at this person very hard, trying to find the difference between this face and the person in his memory. The result was disappointing. Except for a few more years and vicissitudes, this person was almost the same as the person in the photo in his memory.

He still looked very young, his cheeks were as strong as an axe, and he sat there with an air of calmness and authority.

Li Muye couldn't help but wonder if he had seen it wrong. Was it really him

The man stood up immediately when he saw Li Muye. He was tall and straight, with sharp eyes and a straight and high nose. He was just like what he heard his godmother and sister describe him when he was a child.

It's him, it can't be wrong.

Li Muye turned around and left, not wanting to stay for a minute longer. It's not that I'm afraid to face this person, but I don't want to face him before I understand anything.

The man watched Li Muye turn around and leave. He was a little confused and turned around to sit back on the sofa.

On the way back, Li Muye dialed Chen Binghui's phone number. He didn't say a word, just remained silent. Chen Binghui didn't say anything either. On both ends of the phone, the two brothers wasted their phone bills.

"Have you met Anasayev?" Chen Binghui was the first to break the silence.

"When did you know about it?" Li Muye asked with an unexpected answer.

Chen Binghui was silent for a while and said, "Chen Miao told me when you were arranged to go to Moscow."

Li Muye secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Chen Binghui had known this from the beginning when he met himself, then this world would be too disappointing.

"In 1999, before Macau's return to China, I was seconded by Chen Miao to the Foreign Affairs Bureau and assigned to join a gang of crooks to perform an undercover mission." Chen Binghui said: "At that time, they received news that these crooks were controlled by foreign forces and wanted to return to Macau after the return. I organized a large-scale sabotage operation against the Macau economy. Later, these crooks were frightened, so the operation was cancelled, and my mission was over. But because I was on vacation at the time, I followed them to Coal City, followed by You know everything.”

"How did Chen Miao find me?"

"I am a member of the establishment, and every move I make is subject to discipline. When I was in Coal City, you set up a trap on me, but I was targeted by her people." Chen Binghui said, "She discovered Anasaye when she was checking you. Because I had just experienced some unfortunate things at that time, she applied for a few more months of leave for me and encouraged me to make more friends. .”

"Is Qi Tian also hers?" Li Muye asked.

"It's just a chess piece she accidentally selected." Chen Binghui said: "But later I found out that this person's relationship abroad was very complicated, so I temporarily decided to take a long-term approach to fishing for big fish. At that time, her purpose was to see you through some things. of your character, and then decide how to use you."

"This second sister of yours is really scarier than a ghost." Li Muye basically connected everything after hearing this, and sighed: "Think about it now, she also did a test when she found me. If that My choice at that time disappointed her, and I’m afraid she wouldn’t have had the chance to make it to where she is today.”

Chen Binghui said: "My second sister is a hard-working woman. Her brother-in-law and child died in a car accident twenty-two years ago. Since then, her life has only been about work and revenge."

"Revenge?" Li Muye asked, "Is her revenge related to that person?"

Chen Binghui did not answer directly, but said: "You have a very keen sense."

"Chen Miao went through such a big circle to get me here for him." Li Muye said: "How much do you know about that person?"

Chen Binghui said: "A powerful person with deep connections at the top of the Russian Federation. Although he is hiding behind the scenes, he controls almost everything in Yakutsk. Compared with those famous oligarchs and businessmen, he is more low-key and more powerful. .”

Li Muye said: "What do you want me to do?"

Chen Binghui said: "I don't have any expectations for you. If I could make the decision, I would rather you were not involved in this matter." He added: "Second sister has always been unpredictable in what she does. Many times, even Lao Chu can't follow her. It’s even less possible for me to follow her ideas.”

Li Muye said: "No matter what Chen Miao wants me to do, I want to know some things first. Why did he kill people in the first place, why did he leave the country, and how did he end up here again? From Li Zhonghua to Anasayev, what has he done for so many years? If Feng Defeng is here, why are you indifferent to us? I’ll let it go, but my sister’s life has been too hard. If her father had protected her, she wouldn’t have had to suffer so many misfortunes!”

Chen Binghui said: "Chen Miao's order is for you to come to Yakutsk and meet Anasayev. She didn't say what she wants you to do next. You can follow your own ideas freely. What I can tell you is that we have been fighting for this Anasayev for many years. As for the second sister’s next step, we can only wait.”

He hung up the phone and ordered Lao Cui not to go back yet, but to wander around the city casually.

The weather conditions were being reported on the Russian radio. The temperature outside the car was minus 39 degrees, which was relatively warm and suitable for children to play.

Knight XV came to Lenin Central Square. There were snowflakes and there were actually a group of children playing and having fun under the street lights. Li Muye told Lao Cui to wait in the car, opened the door and got out, walked to the square under the Lenin statue, and stood with the great man in the snowy night, staring at this unique city.

The sky has been filled with gloomy snowfall, which started as scattered scattered snow, then became heavier and heavier, and finally evolved into a heavy snowfall, which could not be seen ten meters away. Although it is cold here, one good thing is that there is almost no wind. The same cannot be said for the Lake Baikal region, which is more than 2,000 kilometers south. Although the temperature is higher than here, it is even more unbearable because of the strong wind.

This is the land chosen by the gods among the Yakut people. In this land, politics is far less important than religion, economics is less important than bread and vodka, and loyalty to the country is less important than faith in the family. No army can truly and completely conquer this place. Of course, no matter analyzed from any angle, no one is willing to do such a stupid thing. Because it's too cold here. The harsh climate alone is enough to repel all incoming enemies.

In this land where even the wind can solidify, no railways can be built here because of the cold. Also because of the cold, there are very few roads here. In addition to the frozen soil, there are countless lakes here. According to the locals, a lake is born every time a child is born. When people who are unfamiliar with the environment come here, accidents may happen anytime and anywhere.

There are only two seasons here: winter and summer. People work in winter and relax in summer. The people of Yakutsk have an incomprehensible endurance. Construction workers continue to work hard at the construction site at minus 50 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, even metal becomes as brittle and easy to break as ice. Children will continue to go to school unless the temperature drops below minus 55 degrees Celsius. Only kindergartens will be closed when temperatures drop to minus 50 degrees Celsius.

On a snowy night, I could no longer see the scenery ten meters ahead, but I could still hear the happy and excited shouts of the children.

Even though Li Muye was wearing expensive furs, he gradually found it difficult to resist the hellish chill. I can’t help but think, how could the man once named Li Zhonghua choose to settle here for twenty years and become today’s Anasayev

Lao Cui got out of the car carrying a mink coat and silently put it on Li Muye.

"Aren't you cold?" Li Muye noticed that Lao Cui was only wearing a jacket.

Lao Cui smiled, shook his head and said, "I'm used to it. In Russia, as long as there is fat and vodka, this kind of weather is simply a gift from God."

Li Muye suddenly came to chat and asked, "When you were a child, did you play in such a cold weather like these children?"

Lao Cui said: "Even in Moscow, the temperature is rarely so low in winter, but I was not lucky enough to play freely at that time. My father is a very famous animal trainer who specializes in training Siberian tigers. He liked drinking and writing poetry most. He used to have high expectations for me, but at that time my academic performance was very poor, which made him very disappointed. When I was eleven years old, I gave up my studies and worked in the circus. From then on, I rarely interacted with people.”

"You can be regarded as inheriting the inheritance from your father." Li Muye said with emotion: "Some things come from instinct in the blood. Genetic inheritance is really a wonderful thing."

Lao Cui said: "My grandfather married my grandmother and gave birth to my father when he was very old. My grandfather served in the army when he was young. He raised a bear and participated in the war with him. The bear was even on the battlefield. After the war, my grandfather and his bear were discharged from the army together, and were appointed by the country to form a circus. It was the golden age of our family, when people were keen on circus performances, and my grandfather proudly passed on his skills to my father. .”

"Why does it seem that your father doesn't want you to inherit the craftsmanship of your ancestors when it comes to your generation?" Li Muye asked with interest.

Lao Cui said: "Because my father once saw an Amur male tiger bite his grandfather's throat. It was a terrible accident. The male tiger weighed more than 800 pounds and was my grandfather's favorite big guy. When my grandfather died, it only took a moment.”

"If that's the case, why did your father change his mind again?" Li Muye asked, "Is the pressure of life really more important than the friendship between father and son?"

"In addition to having no other choice, it was also because my father learned the real cause of my grandfather's death a few years later." Lao Cui carefully patted the snow off Li Muye's body and continued: "At that time, my grandfather had a serious liver disease and he was suffering from liver disease every day. Living in great pain, the Amur male tiger was a god and felt my grandfather's pain, so he helped him end everything. After my father knew the truth, he decided to follow my grandfather's last wish and let me enter this industry."

"Will you let your son continue in this business?" Li Muye asked again.

Lao Cui smiled and said: "I don't have a son yet. If I have one in the future, as long as he likes it, I can do anything I want him to do."

Li Muye was silent for a while and suddenly asked: "Do you believe there are fathers in this world who don't care about the happiness of their children?" (End of Chapter)
