Chapter 167 Strange things

Li Zhen also smiled and walked past them.

After taking two steps, he heard the man's hesitant voice: "You... bought it too?"

Li Zhen was slightly stunned and then understood what he meant. He thought about it, slowed down, looked at the faces of the two people in a blink of an eye, and then felt mixed feelings in his heart.

Because both of them had unaware expectations on their faces - they seemed to hope to hear a positive answer, which would relieve their guilt.

But he shook his head: "I came here."

The woman looked him up and down in confusion, as if she was wondering if he took the risk because he didn't have enough money.

The man smiled self-deprecatingly and whispered: "Well. We...we..."

"I understand." He looked at the little girl and tried to change the subject, "Where are you going?"

The man hesitated for a moment and replied: "We go to Wanzhou, where our hometown is there."

The woman gave him a blank look. Li Zhen noticed the look and realized that the other party did not want to reveal too much information to such an unknown stranger as him, so Xiaoxiao planned to leave.

In fact, he really wanted to walk with these three people for a while - because if there is really a special person who has found that he has left there, the news might come here. The three people go together - especially these two people, who are barely considered their elders, are always less eye-catching.

And judging from the previous performance of this man - he can actually be regarded as a kind and conscientious person. Although he is not the kind of noble person who can still stick to his bottom line in such troubled times, it is also rare.

But if it is this kind of atmosphere, then there is really no need to travel with it.

So he speeded up. But the man seemed to be anxious to find someone to talk to, and even added: "Ha... we are here to find our daughter."

This sentence slowed down Li Zhen's pace again. The words "Wanzhou" and "Find a Daughter" jumped into his mind. He subconsciously looked at their clothes again.

Then he asked, "Your surname?"

The woman came over and pulled his arm, but the man didn't care and smiled and said, "Don't let your surname be Guo."

Li Zhen was stunned - he thought... it shouldn't be such a coincidence, right?

But I still asked again: "Your eldest daughter is Guo Jinyuan?"

As soon as he said this, the man and the woman stopped and stared at him with wide eyes. So Li Zhen knew that things were really coincidental.

Before these two people could speak, he pointed back: "I am... well, Guo Jinyuan's alumnus. I met her five days ago, and she was in Southwest Alliance Political Department at that time."

But after this sentence, the two of them collapsed again. The man sighed, pulled his wife's hand, and walked again: "Oh--it's too late. We went there to find her yesterday, but she is no longer here."

It was the first time the woman talked to Li Zhen. She frowned slightly: "That, that..."

"My surname is Li."

"Ah. That, Xiao Li... are you a classmate of my Yuanyuan?"

"I'm not a classmate. I'm an alumnus from the same school." Li Zhen lied, "I'm one year older than her, and we met in the student union in two departments."

The woman seemed to care about this. She then asked again: "How is Yuanyuan doing in the past few years? Are she thin? Is she in good health?"

He also sighed: "Oh... Guo Jinyuan was so sad when she told me. She thought it was because you were troublesome and didn't want to come to her. She said that if the situation in Wanzhou was the same as in Yuzhou, maybe you would become a minister - then it would be easier to find her."

The man finally got out of his state of sighing and sighing - he became helpless and angry. He kicked open a newspaper on the road and said loudly: "Minister Hammer! Our family was like that before, but it was not possible later! Those turtle sons from Siberia who were damn good!"

Li Zhen showed a puzzled expression: "What do you say? What's wrong with Siberia? What's up to them?"

Then he summarized the details of the whole thing from a series of angry swear words.

The man's name is Guo Baorong. He started from scratch in his early years. He first drove a long-distance transport vehicle, then reselled building materials, and then started a river sand business. When he was in his thirties, he saved some money. So he planned to continue to go back to his old business - the transportation industry. However, he no longer drove by himself, but bought a car to form a fleet and asked others to drive it.

Then the fleet turned into a transportation company, and at the beginning of the two thousand years, he made a lot of money. Therefore, he used the money he had in his hands to expand the scale again, and finally almost monopolized the transportation industry in Wanzhou. By this time, he was indeed more influential in the Wanzhou area.

Next he started investing in real estate, but unfortunately he didn't know enough and lost it.

Then invested in the financial industry and lost money.

So, from the past ten years to 1000, I spent all the failures - fortunately, the business was not lost and could still maintain it.

By the beginning of 2010, he planned to invest in the power industry again. This time he succeeded - he did make a lot of money. Unfortunately, everyone knew what happened later that the aurora was coming and the power was interrupted.

But that was fine. He still had a fleet of cars. He used the last little money to transform the cars in the company. During that period, he became a blessing in disguise and his business was booming - the Wanzhou area was ultimately the mainland, and people were not as panic as the coastal areas.

The "very influential" that Guo Jinyuan mentioned refers to this period.

It is said that Guo Baorong also planned to run for local cabinet membership.

Next, the isolation belt arrived. This incident did not have a great impact on his business. The family was lucky and did not suffer any losses in the disaster.

Then the government reorganized and the same soldiers came to power.

The newly-entered soldiers were not as easy to talk as before. At that time, Guo Baorong planned to go to Yuzhou to find his daughter, but was called to "talk". The content of the conversation was that he hoped that his transportation company would support the new government and take practical actions to prove it.

And this "practical action" means running to Siberia once.

At that time, the world was chaotic and people's hearts were floating, and no company was willing to go to such a faraway place. The "general" did not want him to work for free, and promised that once the matter was done, he would be one of the core members of the new government.

When he said this, Li Zhen couldn't help asking: "Which year was that time?"

The man thought about it and said gritting his teeth: "17 years! I just settled down at that time!"

What he said about stability should mean that the area occupied by the isolation zone gradually shrinks and becomes what it is today.

But in 2017... Li Zhen frowned slightly.

It seems to be earlier than Xiao Heng went to Siberia.

Guo Baorong continued to talk.

Of course he could not refuse at that time. Because after the other party learned that he was going to Yuzhou to find his daughter, he promised him that the officials of Bancheng, Yuzhou would send people over. You should know that the "gate" in Southern Luzon was not popular at that time, and the passage between various regions was only based on the gate they had passed before. At that time, the probability of "time and space turbulence" was quite high. If there was really official help, it would always be more convenient and safer.

So he agreed.

All the vehicles in the company were dispatched and escorted by the military to Siberia.

"Siberia." Li Zhen asked in a low voice, "Are you transporting things over or returning things? Where in Siberia?"

"It's said it's going to Tasenko, it's very north." Guo Baorong sighed, as if everything that happened a few years ago was vivid in his mind, and today it still hurts as if he had cut off his flesh.

From Wanzhou to Tasenko, Siberia, was an unimaginable distance even in peacetime, and no one would do such a thing. However, at that time, railway transportation and air transportation were all interrupted, and only cars with higher mobility could take on this important task.

As for whether to ship things over or return things over...

Guo Baorong couldn't explain it clearly.

Because before leaving, the military said that this time was a top-secret mission, and only informed him about one location. After driving into the military base from his company, he never saw it again.

It is said that the convoy set out in the spring of 2017. From the spring of 2017 to the summer of 2018, he was under surveillance and residence. The official explanation for this is that the convoy's affairs involved top-secret incidents and no one was allowed to leak the secrets. It is precisely because of this that he could not come to Yuzhou.

By the end of summer in 2018, news finally came. That day, all the sentries near his house withdrew, and only a stiff-faced officer came to inform him that the convoy encountered a turbulent flow in the isolation zone in Siberia - that is, a large area of ​​isolation zone suddenly moved - all the vehicles were damaged and none of the personnel survived.

He had already prepared for heavy losses, but he did not expect that after suffering for a year, he received such news. But at that time he was still lucky and thought there would be compensation. However, when he tried to visit the general again, he was bombarded.

Not only was there no compensation, Wanzhou was also closed down like the Bancheng of Yuzhou under Xiao Heng's rule, and entry and exit were strictly prohibited.

This is how the cause of the incident happened. It was not until a few days ago that the door opened again, and he couldn't wait to come to Yuzhou to find his relatives with his wife and children. However, he was no longer the "very influential" man, but he became an ordinary person.

So that's it. Li Zhen sighed slightly.

But he has no intention of lamenting the impermanence of the world and the displaced in troubled times. He thought about it, and after expressing strong sympathy to the other party, he asked again: "So will anyone go to Siberia in the future?"

Guo Baorong vented his feelings and calmed down a little. Hearing his question, he looked at him strangely.
