Han Jiang continued to talk about his thoughts, but Yelena stood up and smiled bitterly at Han Jiang: "Forget it, Han, don't talk to me about cooperation or the secret of the jade screen. I have already been suspended. Hand in the guns, otherwise, when I entered the door just now, I would point the gun at you, maybe I would shoot you again!"

"What? You were suspended? What's going on?" Han Jiang also stood up.

"What's all the fuss about? I didn't complete the task this time, and I was captured by that group again. My father was also seriously injured. I am responsible for all of this, so I was suspended from my job." Yelena walked in kitchen.

Han Jiang also followed into the kitchen. Just as he was about to speak, Yelena asked first, "Have you eaten yet? I haven't had dinner yet, I'm so hungry!"

Han Jiang smiled a little embarrassedly, and replied: "I didn't even eat. I hid here for several hours. I thought you would be back at four or five o'clock, but I didn't expect you to come back at 08:30!"

"I went to the hospital to see my father, he was seriously injured last time!"

"Oh! How is your father now? He fell down the valley with Tang Feng. How did you rescue him later? And why did you disappear after you were rescued?" Han Jiang asked a series of questions .

"You have so many questions! Let me cook first, let's chat while eating." Yelena opened the lunch box and said to Han Jiang: "This is the veal and mushroom soup I made. It was originally served with It’s for my father, but he ate it in the hospital today, so he took two mouthfuls of soup, if you don’t mind, let’s eat this!”

Han Jiang was already hungry, as long as he could eat, the veal and mushroom soup looked pretty good. As expected, when Yelena heated up the soup, the aroma spread in the room immediately.

After a while, Yelena prepared a table of Russian dinners that were simple but enough to fill her stomach. Han Jiang sipped black tea, gnawed bread, drank thick soup, and chewed red sausage, and quickly filled his half-full stomach. At this moment, he asked Yelena again: "Haven't you answered my question just now?"

Yelena looked at Han Jiang's eating and said with a smile: "This time you know the retribution for breaking into a private house. I will come back a little later, and you will still be hungry!"

"If you don't come back again, I'll just rummage through the box here, and I'll have enough to eat." Han Jiang also laughed.

"Why are you so rude to me now? You are not afraid that I will have you arrested, and I will let you try our prison here!"

"Hehe, I only came to you tonight because I trust you and your father." The smile on Han Jiang's face gradually disappeared.

Yelena nodded, "Okay, just say this to you, and I'll tell you everything I know. Where do you want to hear it from?"

"From the beginning, from your initial involvement in this matter!" Han Jiang said.

"In the beginning, it was a rare vacation for me at the beginning, but because of this case, I was forced to end my vacation early and rushed to Petersburg. On the surface, it was just a case of art theft, but because of the special nature of this artwork Therefore, our Federal Security Service took over, but this was not enough for me to end my vacation early and come here. The most important thing is that this jade screen involved the Sino-Soviet scientific expedition team about half a century ago. , I think this situation, you should also master it.”

Han Jiang nodded, "Yes, we know about the scientific expedition, but we don't know why the scientific expedition team disappeared in the end?"

Yelena continued: "After the scientific expedition team was killed, the KGB ordered the jade screen to be sealed. For half a century, almost no one knew of its existence. Therefore, when it reappeared, the headquarters attached great importance to it and sent me To be in charge of this case was the reason for our subsequent trip to China!"

"So you're fully responsible for this?"

"Before I came back from China, it was, but now it's not, not only is it not, it's even suspended!"

"I would like to take the liberty to ask, what is your purpose? Is it just to retrieve the stolen jade screen from the Winter Palace? Or is there some other purpose?" Han Jiang asked the question that had always been in his heart.

Yelena was startled when she heard Han Jiang's question, then she calmed down and thought for a while before answering Han Jiang, "Your question just reminded me, I didn't think about this question seriously before, I can understand Let me tell you honestly, the task I received was to retrieve the jade screen that was stolen from the Winter Palace, and I had no other ideas. As for whether the headquarters had other ideas, I don’t know, especially during this period of time, I have no contact with this It is even more impossible to judge the current intentions of the headquarters."

"Oh! That's right. Who's in charge now?"

"Ilyukin! Colonel Andrey Mikhailovich Ilyukin, for the time being he is in charge."

"Ilyukin?" Han Jiang thought to himself, it seemed that this Ilyujin was the one he wanted to find.

"Hmm! This Ilyukin used to be my father's student, but he is different from us. By the way, he also has a nickname, 'Vasika'."

Han Jiang wrote down the situation introduced by Yelena one by one, and Yelena went on to say: "Anyway, please believe me, the task I received was only to retrieve the stolen jade screen from the Winter Palace, so we went to China and met When I arrived at you, so many things happened again, I have to thank you for saving me in the end, I remember that you seemed to have been shot at that time, how is it, is the injury healed?"

"It's fine, nothing serious!" After Han Jiang finished speaking, he asked Yelena again: "What happened after that? After you were saved, I remembered that you went after Stephen, and then I passed out and didn't remember anything. "

"Later I went after Stephen and the blond woman, and I could see that they were the heads of the group, but the terrain there was too complicated, and I didn't understand the situation there at all, and I was locked up by them for so many days. My body hasn’t recovered yet, so after I chased it for about a few kilometers, I was tired, hungry, and exhausted, and those two people also disappeared, maybe they were hiding somewhere.”

"Then where did you go? Why didn't our people find you?" Han Jiang asked with concern.

"Later, I wanted to go back the same way to find you, but I couldn't walk anymore. I wanted to rest for a while before looking for you. At this time, our people found me."

"Your people?"

"Well! After I was captured, our connection with the headquarters was completely severed. The headquarters then sent a group of people to look for us. There were four people in total, disguised as tourists, and the leader was Major Ivanov... "

"Major Ivanov?" Han Jiang memorized the name.

"Valentin Sergelovich Ivanov, in my opinion, he is still a competent agent." Yelena snorted softly when she finished speaking.

"A competent agent? How is he better than you?" Han Jiang asked with a smile.

"Better than me? If you've worked with him, you'll know." Yelena showed a sly smile.

"But I still don't understand, how can your people find you so quickly and accurately?"

"This is very simple. We have our own way, and of course there is some element of luck."

"Your method?" Han Jiang was puzzled.

"You should have heard of the satellite tracking and positioning system. Of course, this thing often fails." Yelena explained.

"So that's how it is!" Only then did Han Jiang realize that they were all using this thing.At this time, he could fully confirm his previous judgment, so he went on to say: "Later, you were rescued by your people. If I guessed correctly, your people were divided into two groups, and the other group rescued you." Father, and took away the jade screen in Tang Feng’s bag, you thought you were done, but when you returned to Petersburg, you found that the jade screen you brought back was not the one stolen from the Winter Palace!”

Yelena nodded and said: "Yes, you are right. My father has seen the second jade screen you found in the Heitoushishi. He looked at the jade screen Ivanov brought back and concluded that it is That piece you just discovered..."

"So, instead of returning the jade screen to the Winter Palace, you locked it in the safe of your Federal Security Bureau." Han Jiang interrupted Yelena.

Yelena heard that Han Jiang told the storage location of the jade screen, her heart tightened suddenly, and then she smiled and said: "It seems that you came prepared! I admire your ability more and more now. Originally, I I thought you just had a lot of strength, but you are very similar to our Major Ivanov in this regard."

"So that's the image I have in your mind." Han Jiang smiled wryly.

"However, since you saved me, I have changed my opinion of you. You are all fine and an excellent agent, but your foreign language is a bit poor." Yelena teased Han Jiangdao.

"Foreign language?" Han Jiang sighed, and said, "I'm different from you. You must be a talented student trained by the KGB school. I was born as a soldier, so I'm just a rough guy. Anyway, I also learned English. I just did this. Okay, I didn't expect that one day, I would go abroad to perform missions."

"Oh! So you can speak English, so we can communicate in English in the future!" Yelena continued to tease Han Jiang.

When Han Jiang thought of the English he hadn't used for many days, he couldn't help but blush, and said embarrassingly: "What English do you use! You can't speak Chinese very well, so we can communicate like this!"

Han Jiang's embarrassment made Yelena laugh out loud, and Han Jiang also foolishly laughed with Yelena twice, Yelena stopped laughing, and said: "However, the young man who is with you is quite interesting." cultural."

"That's right! His name is Tang Feng. He is a university teacher. He has a lot of knowledge and can speak several foreign languages. Otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen him to cooperate with me. He and I are a perfect match."

Hearing what Han Jiang said, Yelena laughed even louder, "Perfect match? You are so funny! You two big men are a perfect match, hehe, I don't think you have learned Chinese well."

Han Jiang also felt that the words he used were inappropriate just now, but he didn't know what to say at this time, so he could only smirk a few times with Yelena.After Yelena finished laughing, Han Jiang asked Yelena: "I have been... I have always wanted to ask you a question, but I don't know if I should say it or not?"

"Ask anything!" Yelena was surprised to see Han Jiang's hesitation.

"I've always wanted to ask you, are you... are you and your father really biological father and daughter?" After Han Jiang asked this sentence, he felt that he had used the wrong words again.

When Yelena heard that Han Jiang asked this question, she immediately put away the smile on her face. Han Jiang looked at Yelena's beautiful face. At this moment, there was no smile, only a touch of sadness. Yelena avoided Han Jiang's eyes, twisted After a while, he said slowly: "Perhaps you have already seen that we are not real father and daughter. We are called father and daughter only for this mission. Makarov was my teacher, and the one who went to school At that time, he seemed to be squeezed out and had a bad time, but he was always very kind to us, like a loving father, so he left a deep impression on me. During this trip to China, fighting side by side together, I am completely satisfied. Treat him like your real father."

"I heard that Lao Ma's son was killed?" Han Jiang asked.

"Yes, it was because of the jade screen that was stolen from the Winter Palace. The case has not yet been solved. Therefore, Victor's death made my father heartbroken. He has retired for many years, and this time my father is willing to do it again for the jade screen. Coming out of the mountain is largely for his son."

"The old horse has no other relatives?"

"No more. Victor is the only relative he has in this world."

"What about you? What about your relatives?" Han Jiang asked.

Yelena was silent for a long time without answering Han Jiang's question. The room was suddenly terribly quiet. Han Jiang suddenly heard a sob. It was...it was Yelena. When Yelena turned her head, Han Jiang saw two lines of teardrops on Yelena's cheeks. , this is the first time he saw Yelena crying in front of him. In Han Jiang's impression, Yelena has always been a strong woman who will never give up and never cry. Now, why is she crying like a girl? When he got up, Han Jiang was at a loss for a moment, but after a while, Yelena gradually stopped crying, and Han Jiang tried to ask softly: "You...what's wrong with you?"

Yelena looked at Han Jiang and said, "Don't you know the two places where the KGB used to select agents most often?"

"Two places you go to most often?" Han Jiang didn't understand what he meant.

"One is the army, because there is iron discipline; the other is the orphanage, because the children there are completely malleable."

"So, you...you are an orphan?" Han Jiang finally understood.

Yelena nodded slightly.

"I understand, an unfortunate child!" Han Jiang felt great pity suddenly in his heart.

Han Jiang suddenly had an idea that made him feel strange, he was going to protect her, Yelena, he hoped that he could become her relatives and protect her!

But when Han Jiang was thinking wildly, Yelena stood up suddenly and asked Han Jiang, "Have you finished eating?"

Han Jiang nodded dully, so Yelena quickly picked up the plates, knives and forks. While cleaning up, Yelena asked Han Jiang who was still thinking wildly: "Since you already know where the jade screen is stored, next step, what are you going to do?" What should I do? Steal it, or take your men and horses to snatch the jade screen out, if you want to choose the latter, then I want to remind you that it will take a lot of risk."

When Yelena said this, Han Jiang remembered his mission on this trip, and asked back: "I found that your brain is only about fighting and killing. I don't understand why you think so?"

Yelena sneered and said, "You said you traveled thousands of miles, and you came here with a very clear purpose and a determined goal. If you don't do this, what else do you want to do?"

"As I said just now, I want to cooperate with you, because our opponent is a very powerful mysterious organization, and our cooperation is the best way out. So I want to visit your person in charge of this matter."

"Colonel Ilyukin?" Yelena snorted softly.

"Yes, originally... If you are responsible for this matter, that's fine, maybe we can talk about it tonight."

"Ha!" Yelena laughed and said, "Even if it's me, it may not be possible to negotiate. Don't think that I have a good impression of you now, so you can take advantage of my affection for you."

Han Jiang's face was turned red and white by Yelena's words. Yelena ignored Han Jiang's feelings and continued, "I can even imagine what he will say when you go to find Ilyukin, and he will ask you back." What can we get?' He's a master of hares and hawks!"

"What can you get? You can get the truth about the mysterious disappearance of the scientific expedition team half a century ago and the series of events now. Of course, after the incident is over, we can also give the jade screen to the Winter Palace!"

"Gift? That treasure originally belonged to the Winter Palace."

"No! It originally belonged to China!"

"But it came to Russia 100 years ago."

"That can't change its original nationality, haha!" Han Jiang argued.

"Okay, Han, I won't argue with you! Your so-called 'cooperation', to put it bluntly, is just to let us hand over the jade screen to you first. No matter what the reason is, it is very difficult to do. In fact, This matter has nothing to do with me now, I stand as a friend and think for you, I advise you not to go to Ilyukin, because I know him too well, he will not agree to your request, Moreover, as long as you go to him, it means that you have lost your freedom of movement here, and he will send eight burly men to 'protect' you until you can't bear it and return to the country by yourself." Yelena persuaded sincerely road.

Han Jiang nodded: "I understand, but I still have to give it a try. We have an old saying in China - 'before the ceremony'!"

"Hmph! Courtesy before soldiers? I'm afraid they won't accept your kindness. If you try to steal, with your skill, you have a good chance of winning!" Yelena said with certainty.

Hearing what Yelena said, Han Jiang laughed: "I found out how you have come to stand on our side and advised us instead. This is against the rules for you!"

It was Han Jiang's reminder that Yelena noticed it, yes!Why did I unknowingly stand on Han Jiang's side? Is this... is it out of disdain and anger towards Ilyukin, or... is it because of the Chinese man in front of me?Yelena suddenly became confused too...
