Xia Lei had nothing to do all morning, wandering around the embassy. ≥ However, Ling Hao is the busiest among the entire team. He has already begun to deal with the last part of the work for Leima Military Factory to participate in the Moscow International Small Arms Exhibition. Both Tang Yuyan and Hu Hao were called by him to help. This situation also made Xia Lei happy, because if Tang Yuyan was by his side, he would hardly find a chance to leave the embassy to see his father Xia Changhe.
The Hanwu Arms Company was also quiet, and several employees were busy handling the Hanwu Arms Company's participation in the weapons exhibition. Ye Kun made a few phone calls, and Xia Lei also used clairvoyance and lip reading to eavesdrop on those phone calls and got some information.
Among the several phone calls Ye Kun made, two were to China, asking his subordinates about recruiting talents at Thunder Horse Military Factory and about visiting the workshop. Another call was made to Mu Jianfeng, and the conversation was also about topics related to Thunder Horse Military Factory. There was also a phone call probably made to someone in a certain equipment department, asking about the acceptance status of the first batch of xl2500.
A few phone calls made Xia Lei realize the fact that the Hanwu Arms Company headed by Ye Kun was determined to pursue and intercept the Leima Military Factory. He also understood one thing, that is, in this fight with the Hanwu Arms Company, he had to break out, otherwise he would fall under the shotgun of the arms oligarchs headed by Ye Kun.
Xia Lei thought Ye Kun would contact An Xiuxian, but Ye Kun was cunning and did not do so.
The whole morning passed like this, and near lunch time, Xia Lei appeared at the door of the embassy.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Xia." The soldier guarding the door blocked Xia Lei's way, "Mr. Ling told me that you can't go out."
Xia Lei suddenly frowned, "Why can't I go out?"
"This is what Mr. Ling told me. Please ask Mr. Ling." The soldier guarding the gate was neither humble nor overbearing. "We are only executing orders. Please forgive me."
Not only can Tang Yuyan obey his orders, but he can also command the soldiers of the embassy. This Ling Han's identity is really not simple!
"Forget it, I actually just want to go out and buy something. Since that's the case, I won't go out." Xia Lei pretended to be indifferent and left the door.
A small container truck transporting vegetables, grain and oil stopped at the gate. The driver got out of the car and talked with the soldiers guarding the gate. The driver was a Russian aunt, very fat, and she actually spoke fluent Chinese. Although it was very poor, it was also commendable.
The soldier guarding the gate looked at the Russian aunt's pass, then asked her to open the container and look at it. She did not get into the car for inspection, and then let her go.
The Russian aunt drove the container truck to the unloading dock behind the restaurant. When she passed by Xia Lei, she honked the horn at Xia Lei.
Looking at the small container truck passing by, Xia Lei suddenly had an idea in his mind.
Lunch time came quickly. Xia Lei was the first person to go to the restaurant to eat. He ordered a work meal and sat at a dining table and ate slowly. While eating, he kept staring at a wall at the back of the restaurant, observing the situation of the small container truck with his left eye.
The restaurant staff are unloading the Russian aunt's goods, not very quickly. It looks like it will take another ten minutes to finish unloading.
The Russian aunt seemed dissatisfied with the speed of the restaurant staff. She muttered and walked towards the bathroom.
Xia Lei looked away, and at this time Tang Yuyan and Ling Hao walked into the restaurant.
"Lei, are you too lazy?" Tang Yuyan complained as soon as she arrived: "We have been busy for a long time, but you are sitting here eating."
Xia Lei smiled and said, "Mr. Ling is responsible for these tasks. My work is at the exhibition. It's not time for me to be busy yet."
Tang Yuyan raised her lips, "I knew you would say that. I don't care, you have to take me to play with you after the exhibition, as compensation."
Xia Lei happily agreed, "No problem, I will accompany you wherever you want to go after the exhibition."
The two talked and laughed. Ling Hao didn't come over. He was still sitting at a table by himself, eating his work meal.
Xia Lei secretly thought: "Ling Hao's character is so withdrawn, will he have no friends?"
Tang Yuyan blinked her big eyes at Xia Lei and whispered, "What are you doing this afternoon?"
Xia Lei asked tentatively: "What do you want to do?"
"How about playing games with me?"
"Hit your head, I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep." Xia Lei stood up, "Don't bother me, I don't know how to play games."
Tang Yuyan rolled her eyes at Xia Lei and muttered, "Stingy."
Xia Lei left the restaurant and quickly walked around to the back of the restaurant.
The restaurant staff had finished unloading the food, but the Russian aunt hadn't come out of the bathroom yet. This was exactly the opportunity Xia Lei wanted. He climbed into the compartment of the container truck and closed the door. There were many empty plastic boxes in the container, which gave him a place to hide.
Less than two minutes after Xia Lei hid, the Russian aunt came back. She just glanced at the closed compartment door without checking. Then she got into the cab and drove away.
The process of leaving the embassy gate was also smooth. The soldier guarding the gate did not open the door to check, but only chatted with the Russian gate for a few words and then let him go.
The Russian aunt drove a small container truck into the street and drove north. In the container compartment, Xia Lei removed the battery and phone card from his mobile phone. At the same time, use your left eye to observe the situation outside and wait for the opportunity to get off.
Music suddenly came to mind in the container compartment, and it was the famous Russian "Evening on the Suburbs of Moscow." Xia Lei discovered that there was a very small speaker installed in the container, and the music was coming from that small speaker.
But just when Xia Lei left the hiding place and was about to open the door of the container, the Russian aunt's voice came from the small speaker, "Don't get out of the car, we'll be there soon."
Xia Lei suddenly froze on the spot, but to his inexplicable surprise, this Russian aunt not only knew that he was shaking in the car, but also bluntly said that he would be there soon. A thought also came to his mind, who is she
The voice of the Russian aunt came from the small speaker again, "Don't be nervous, we are on our own."
Xia Lei smiled bitterly and gave up the idea of jumping out of the car. He carefully recalled the process from when Auntie drove into the embassy to when she drove away, but there was no flaw in the whole process. Even he didn't notice it, let alone the staff in the embassy.
That's good, at least Ling Hao and Tang Yuyan won't find out.
The small container truck continued driving north and stopped after half an hour. Xia Lei awakened the ability of his left eye and looked at the environment outside the container. He found that this was no longer the center of Moscow, but a place close to the suburbs. The container truck was parked at the entrance of a warehouse. The warehouse was in a remote location with no pedestrians around.
The Russian aunt honked the horn three times, and the rolling shutter door of the warehouse roared upward. When the location was about the same, the Russian aunt drove her car into the warehouse.
The small container truck finally stopped, and the Russian aunt opened the door of the carriage.
Xia Lei jumped out of the car. There were a lot of frozen pork and frozen fish piled in this warehouse. The air-conditioning was blowing and the temperature was very low. However, except for the frozen pigs and frozen fish, he did not see Yelena and his father Xia Changhe. He wanted to see through here, but soon gave up. His sight could not penetrate so many hanging frozen pigs.
The Russian aunt stared at Xia Lei and said, "Where is the gun?"
Xia Lei said: "I'm afraid I will only have the opportunity after participating in the exhibition, and I can't leave it to you now."
The Russian aunt frowned, "You made the gun, but it's so troublesome."
Xia Lei asked tentatively: "Who are you?"
The Russian aunt smiled, then reached out and rubbed her chin a few times, then grabbed her face and pulled it up. In the blink of an eye, the wrinkled aunt's face disappeared and was replaced by a young and beautiful face. She is Yelena. The human skin mask in her hand is so exquisite and lifelike that it’s amazing.
Xia Lei finally came to his senses. No wonder when he needed to escape from the embassy the most, an aunt who delivered food appeared. But he didn't expect that this aunt was Yelena, and she came to pick him up specially.
"What will you do if I don't get in your car?" Xia Lei asked.
Elena smiled and said, "You won't take advantage of such an opportunity, and I have nothing to say. Moreover, I deliberately went to the bathroom to give you a chance to get in the car."
Xia Lei shrugged, "Where is my father?"
Elena reached into the cab and sounded the horn twice.
The sound of tapping footsteps came from deep in the warehouse, and a middle-aged man entered Xia Lei's sight. He wore a gray cardigan, black leather shoes, and a gray peaked cap. Although the peaked cap covered half of his face, Xia Lei still recognized him at a glance. He was his father Xia Changhe.
Xia Lei opened his mouth and wanted to call "Dad", but no sound came out of his mouth. When he saw Xia Changhe, his mind went blank, but his inner feelings were extremely complicated.
"You guys talk, I'll go out and watch." Elena left.
Xia Changhe walked to Xia Lei and looked at Xia Lei quietly. There was a smile on his lips, and his heart was filled with excitement and joy.
Xia Lei also looked straight at Xia Changhe. At this time, his mind was no longer blank. Many past events flashed through his mind like a rewinding movie. When he was a child, his father carried him shopping on his back and bought him sweets. While he was studying, his father walked with him across the busy road. At night, his father cooked sweet and sour pork ribs for him and his sister...
Gradually, Xia Lei's eyes became moist, and he finally called out, "Dad!"
Xia Changhe opened his arms and held Xia Lei in his arms, "Thunder." With this thunder, Xia Changhe's tears also flowed out.
Before they met, Xia Lei still harbored resentment towards Xia Changhe, but after meeting him, he realized that he couldn't hate his father at all.
"Leizi, I've suffered a lot from you these years." Xia Changhe said.
Xia Lei took a deep breath, "Dad, why? Do you know how I have lived these past few years? Sometimes, I hide in the quilt and cry alone, not daring to let Xia Xue know. How much I miss you in my life But it’s been six years since you left, and there’s not even a single message from you.”
Although I couldn't hate Xia Changhe in my heart, these words had been stuck in my heart for several years, and I couldn't bear to express them.
Xia Changhe sighed, "I know I'm sorry for you and Xia Xue, and I don't expect you to forgive me. But, you have to believe me, I did this out of necessity. If I come back, not only will I not be able to help you, It will also bring danger to you. You will be safest only if I disappear from this world. More importantly, I must buy you the time you need."
Xia Lei was stunned for a moment, "You... know everything?"
Xia Changhe let go of Xia Lei and said, "Come with me, this is not the place to talk."
Xia Lei nodded and followed Xia Changhe deeper into the warehouse.
ps: Thanks to Brother Bajian for the end-of-month reward, I wish you a happy day.
