War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 1657 Revenge List
Outside the city of Kazan, when Wei Ran woke up from his sleep, it was already bright outside the tent.

This was not a peaceful night. Although no one tried to kidnap him the whole night, because of the food he threw away last night, many wild animals came to look for food under the cover of darkness.

However, when he walked near the discarded food, he found many dead wild boars and foxes lying around. Obviously, all the food was poisoned.

This is forcing me to take revenge on you.
Wei Ran kicked a wild boar whose corpse had already become stiff, secretly wondering how he should retaliate against those who wanted to kill him.

Just at this moment, the sound of a car horn was heard from a far distance, and soon after, his armored pickup truck also dodged and drove over.

When the car stopped, Greva pushed open the door and got out of the cab.

"Mr. Victor, this car has been carefully inspected. Every part has been carefully checked."

Greva said fearfully, "In total, we removed about two kilograms of TNT and several locators."

“Thank you for your hard work”

Wei Ran said apologetically that he was the one who caused the trouble, but in the end it was Greva's people who suffered.

"You're welcome"

Grewa waved his hands quickly, "Also, Jima and Maya also returned from Inta early this morning. They are now at your home."

"Are they finally willing to come back?"

Wei Ran couldn't help but smile. Speaking of which, Jima and Maya participated in all the celebration activities in Inta that week.

However, these two people, especially Ji Ma, are now real stars, and particularly flamboyant ones, so they did not come back with them. Instead, they stayed for a few more days to help with the remaining activities.

"I heard that you had another accident, so I rushed back immediately."

Greva quickly took the initiative to explain, "Mr. Victor, Uncle Kalp did not inform us when you were attacked before, and it should be him who got the news."

Without waiting for the other party to finish, Wei Ran waved his hand and said, "No need to explain, I know all this."

Hearing this, Greva was slightly relieved. Although he has become a big shot now, he knows very well who has gained all this.

"Let's talk about something else."

Wei Ran pointed to the dead bodies of wild animals at his feet and said, "Let's find a place to burn and bury these animals and food materials later."

"This is."

"Those people last night were poisoned."

Wei Ran thought for a moment and said, "Let's deal with these camping equipment as well. Remember to bury them deeper."

"I'll contact the excavator right away."

Greva quickly made a promise, and then couldn't help asking, "Shouldn't we take revenge?"

"revenge?"

Wei Ran smiled again, "Of course I want revenge, do you have any ideas?"

"Uncle Culp gave me a list last night."

Grewa took out a piece of letter paper folded into a Soviet triangle letter and handed it to Wei Ran without reservation. "It's some businessmen from the Yutai Autonomous Prefecture. He wanted to hear your opinion on how to do it."

"Tell me what you know about autonomous states"

Wei Ran simply didn't rush back. He asked the other party to walk a few steps towards the lake, found two large clean rocks and sat down. As for the list folded into a triangle, he returned it to the other party without even looking at it.

"Although it's called the Wart Autonomous Prefecture, the Wart people only account for 5% of the total population at most, and they are very dependent on China in terms of economic trade. Many things are almost all imported from you."

Greva took the cigarette handed to him by Wei Ran and lit it for him before continuing, "The list Uncle Karp gave me last night basically consists of several large businessmen in the autonomous prefecture.

These merchants control a lot of profitable businesses in the autonomous region, which also makes the prices there almost as high as those in Moscow. "

“Kazan is safe enough”

Wei Ran said noncommittally, "But it's too safe, Greva. Your chance may be in the Far East, which is far enough away from the political center of the Russian Federation.

Through this process from Kazan to the autonomous region, you may be able to complete the whitewashing and become a real businessman."

"so."

"So the people on that list cannot be dealt with through gang means." Wei Ran reminded with a smile, "You have to fight a business war."

"Mr. Victor, what should I do?"

Greva asked almost subconsciously, his heartbeat even quickened. Although he was the boss of a gang, he knew clearly what he would gain if he won this business war.

"Hand over the Kazan gang to someone you trust, preferably someone who has nothing to do with you, no, with Allah. Also, have him hide deeper.

Finally, your gang should not be based on profit and territorial grabbing, it should be a place for you to train and select your confidants, and also a safety net in case of bloodshed. "

Wei Ran patted the other person's shoulder and said, "As for you, Grewa, I think you can go to the autonomous state to look for opportunities, or even think of a way to become a legally deposed person. I believe this is not difficult for you."

"And then what?" Greva asked, pursing his lips.

"There is a Mr. Alexander in a satellite town of Volgograd. He has always dreamed of becoming the mayor of the satellite town and has been working hard for this goal. From what I know, he may be about to succeed."

Wei Ran looked at the other person straight in the eye and asked, "Perhaps you can learn from him, Mr. Greva Allah. This is no longer the time when the Soviet Union just collapsed.

Whether it's gangs or thieves, although they sound cool and intimidating, they are outdated. This is an era of business and politics where we need to abide by the rules, at least on the surface."

"I"

Gleva looked at Wei Ran in a daze. He felt like his heart was about to jump out. He understood the other party's hint!

"You can ask Aurora about what to do. She will give you a sufficiently detailed suggestion, and it will definitely be much better than the one I give you."

"Then let's go back now!" Greva couldn't wait to stand up.

"Go, go."

Wei Ran smiled, then put out his cigarette and stood up. Is this the content of revenge? Of course not! It's not even a preview of the beginning!
Still driven by Greva, the two left the camping site that belonged to him and headed towards the city of Kazan.

On the way back, Wei Ran searched his mobile phone and dialed the number marked with "Kurt Holler" - he was Edelweiss Clara's younger brother.

"Victor! You finally got around to calling me!"

As soon as the call was connected, Kurt Holle on the other end of the phone spoke loudly in German.

"Sorry, I was busy earlier."

Wei Ran smiled and asked in German, "Mr. Holler."

"Call me Kurt"

The old man on the other end corrected Wei Ran in a friendly manner without waiting for him to finish his words.

"Okay, Uncle Kurt, I hope I didn't disturb your rest." Wei Ran said apologetically, "I forgot to calculate the time difference."

"Of course I won't bother you," Kurt said quickly, "I've already had breakfast and am getting ready to start working."

"In that case, I'll make it short."

Wei Ran didn't care whether the other party's phone was being monitored or not. He even hoped that the mice could hear what he was going to say next.

"Is there anything you need our help with?" Kurt said subconsciously, "We have been discussing how to thank you."

'Not much of a help'

Wei Ran paused and said, "Uncle Kurt, I don't know if you have time in the near future. I would like to invite you to Kabu, invite you to visit China. Sorry, for some reasons, I can't go to Austria to meet you."

"China?"

Kurt was stunned for a moment, but after a little thought, he responded cheerfully, "Of course I have time! And I already have a visa for China. I will rush over as soon as possible. I will let you know as soon as I confirm the flight."

"I'm waiting for you and your relatives and friends in Tianjin, China," Wei Ran said finally.

After hanging up the phone, Wei Ran weighed the phone, stretched his body and lazily.

When I returned home after chatting with Greva, Susu had already gone to work with her younger sisters. However, Jima, the guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was playing frisbee with Belia in the yard.

"You're finally back"

Jima threw the Frisbee out again and joked with a grin, "I heard from Mr. Culp that you took off all your clothes and fooled around with the female brown bear yesterday?"

"Very sexy she-bear"

Wei Ran gave him a middle finger in return and hugged the dog that rushed over with the frisbee in its mouth, "Why did you bear to come back?"

“Our hands are about to break from signing so many autographs.”

Maya answered the question for Jima, "If we don't come back, the two of us will be planted in a flowerpot at the airport entrance to take photos with tourists."

"The Chinese are unexpectedly enthusiastic," Ji Ma said with some lingering feeling.

"After you left, this shameless bastard set up a big screen at the airport to play his crappy movies in rotation, and even set up a table for autographs." Maya rolled her eyes and explained, "He has made me lose face!"

"This is to better serve tourists!" Jima argued without any evidence, "Tourists are God!"

"I think Maya's words are more credible," Greva said jokingly, also giving the middle finger.

“Don’t talk about things that have already happened.”

Ji Ma put his arm around Wei Ran and Grewa's necks, and asked as he walked into the villa, "What happened last night?"

"Nothing happened," Wei Ran said perfunctorily, "I was dancing tango with my godmother Brown Bear all night."

"You must have stepped on the brown bear's shoes," Ji Ma scolded with a smile. Amid the laughter of the crowd, everyone walked into the villa and sat down on the sofa.

After the witch housekeeper, Mrs. Samantha, brought coffee and fruit, Wei Ran asked, "You definitely didn't come back at this time because of the little accidents I encountered, did you?"

"of course not"

Ji Ma spread his hands and said, "We have to rush back to Murmansk to continue filming. We just came to see you and tell you a good news."

"What good news?" Wei Ran asked with a smile.

“I have done something great again”

Jima winked and lowered his voice slightly, "I heard that I caught several spies."

"You heard the magic code."

Wei Ran muttered something in Chinese and sighed secretly in his heart.

Obviously, Ji Ma has taken the blame for himself again. Fortunately, there will be a lot of fat meat in this pot.

"Aren't you going to express your congratulations?" Seeing that Wei Ran was not even going to fart, Ji Ma immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.

"How do you want me to congratulate you?" Wei Ran came back to his senses and asked with a smile.

“Congratulations, forget it.”

Jima, who was joking just a second ago, changed his tone and asked seriously, "Victor, there have been so many assassination attempts against you, don't you plan to take revenge?"

"Revenge? How to revenge?" Wei Ran asked with interest.

"Gleva, do you have anything to do?" Ji Ma turned his head and asked.

"I have long wanted to seek the Queen's valuable advice."

Before Greva finished speaking, he stood up and left the villa very decisively.

"You guys chat, I'm going to go next door to see the winery that Aurora bought." With that, Maya also stood up and left the villa.

"Mr. Culp gave me a list"

Ji Ma didn't speak until Maya helped close the door from outside. He then lowered his voice and took out a piece of letter paper folded into a triangle and handed it to Wei Ran.

"He told me that these people can be killed as a means of revenge. The only problem is that they are all in Wu Kelan." Jima lowered his voice a little, "and whether we are willing to take revenge."

"Culp asked you to show me?"

Wei Ran asked while holding the triangular letter, but he was not in a hurry to open it. He was analyzing whether Kalp was hinting at something since the two lists were sent to him separately by the two people with the same surname of Arach.

Or maybe there was something that Karp was not comfortable telling him directly, and had to hint at it in this "euphemistic" way.

Suddenly he had a clue of understanding that these things might have been revealed by the "spy caught by Ji Ma". In this case, they could only be "hinted".

As for why Dima and Greva were given separate lists, it was obviously to remind him to deal with the people on the lists in two different ways.

In addition, Wei Ran also realized that the Russian Federation probably did not intend to help him get revenge.

Or, it could be that the official Russian approach to the matter probably did not satisfy Karp, but for some unknown reason, it was not convenient for him to ask his "friend" to do this this time.

In this case, I really need to do this job myself.

"If it's not him, could it be the male bear that you drove out of the forest near our village?" Ji Ma said nonsense without restraint.

"Jima, actually you don't have to do this. You are already a star." Wei Ran kindly reminded.

“They are also preparing to attack me.”

Ji Ma gave an answer that Wei Ran had not expected. "According to the interrogation, your kidnapping was funded by the people on the list. They originally planned to capture you and ask you to help clarify some historical issues. They also planned to take over the Time Film Studio."

"What a good appetite!" Wei Ran couldn't help but snorted coldly.

“It’s true that I’m a little bit confused.”

Jima said murderously, "In their plan, they have even arranged some erotic movies for Maya and the girls including Aurora."

"Are you sure?" Wei Ran asked with a frown.

"I have seen the complete interrogation records and relevant evidence." Jima said seriously, "I swear on my Maya and my dick that what I said is true."

"I wanted to tell you that you are already a famous movie star, there is no need to do things that will soil your feathers."

"Just like you are already a famous historian," Jima responded calmly.

"Fuck that historian," Wei Ran said, extending his hand towards the other party.

"Fuck that movie star!" Ji Ma also stretched out his hand and shook hands with Wei Ran.

"How many people are on the list?" Wei Ran asked as he let go of the other person's hand, but did not pick up the triangular letter.

"There are 19 of them in total. They are a family."

"They are in Kharkov, Ukrainian," said Dima. "The oldest is 66 and the youngest is 5. The whole family lives in a sanatorium built in the Soviet era on the outskirts of the city. Of course, it is now their private residence."

After a brief pause, Jima took out a tablet from his bag, pulled up a floor plan and said, "This is the architectural drawing of the sanatorium. Mr. Culp helped me find it."

As he spoke, Jima swiped the screen, pointed at the picture displayed and said, "This is a satellite map."

"You found so many in one night?" Wei Ran asked with a frown.

"It was provided by Uncle Big Ear Chabu who sent us the plane."

Jima explained, “This man is his business partner, and we cannot get too closely involved with Uncle Chabu, otherwise it will be a hundred times more dangerous than getting involved with the Soap Man.

So he can't help us, at most he can only provide some assistance.

In addition, if it is done through the official means, the most that can be done is beheading the mastermind, but this will not have any deterrent effect at all.

Also, Teacher Dalia personally assured me and asked me to tell you that Uncle Big Ear Chabu is absolutely trustworthy. She said that he is her biological brother.

“How big is this building?”

Wei Ran took the tablet and asked while swiping back the photographed architectural drawings.

Although the two of them had only met Uncle Big-Eared Chabu once, the other party did not seem to hide it at the time, and Kalp also mentioned his relationship with Teacher Dalia in person.

“The area is about the size of two football fields, but the main building is roughly the same size as the winery next door.”

After a moment's hesitation, Jima said, "We may need some help, Victor, what do you think of Ninel?"

“We don’t lack helpers”

Wei Ran said confidently, "I'll take care of the manpower issue. When do you plan to start?"

"How about tonight if we can make it?"

Jima asked, "Maya will invite Aurora to go back to Hasa with her later, and Teacher Anna will also accompany her to protect her."

"Is this also Culp's suggestion?"

"Teacher Anna's advice"

Ji Ma spread his hands and said, "They both went to pick me up at the airport early this morning. I almost signed an autograph for them as well."

After a slight hesitation, Wei Ran nodded, "Then let's set off tonight. How do we get there?"

"We'll take my private plane to Belgorod first, and then Uncle Big Ear Chabu will send someone to take us there." After saying that, Dima asked anxiously, "Will your helpers be able to get there in time?"

“You have to ask yourself whether your private jet can accommodate so many people.”

Wei Ran asked absentmindedly, but in fact he had already made up his mind that when the time comes, he will personally ask the mastermind behind the list whether the truth is as Ji Ma said.

"Your helper."

Jima grinned and asked with an unpleasant expression, "Could it be those unreliable pink girls?"

"You guessed it right, but there's no reward."

Wei Ran had already returned the tablet to Ji Ma while he was talking. "Is there a way to deal with the weapons?"

"Standard official weapon"

Jima replied, "We can't make too much noise. We will set out this evening and come back tomorrow morning."

"no problem"

Wei Ran stood up and said, "I hope we won't make the same stupid mistake as in Ulyanovsk."

"Hey! Shut up!"

Jima shuddered uncontrollably and complained with particular dissatisfaction, "We swore at that time that we would never mention what happened in that city again!"

"Remember to check your weapons carefully this time," Wei Ran said with a silly grin, but in his heart, he couldn't wait to kill someone.

"One last question," Jima asked after a moment's hesitation, "There are children on the list."

"Go ask Gaza about this kind of question. If they don't target Aurora, I don't mind being a person with a bottom line."

Wei Ran snorted coldly when he said this, and at the same time added in his heart something that only he could hear - "This is not the first time I have shot at a child."

I've been quite busy recently, so the update time is unstable, but I will definitely update every day, sooner or later. Please forgive me. I wish everyone will become rich this year.
