Chapter 237 This area is a bit too large!

The next day, early morning!
Xiao Chen walked out of the villa yawning, and saw Su Chen sitting on a wooden bench in the open space feeding the three little ones. The interesting thing was that the three little ones were very obedient. They sat in a row waiting for Su Chen to feed them without any noise.

“These three little ones are so obedient. They have become so close in just one day.” Xiao Chen muttered softly, and then he remembered what he had agreed with Su Chen yesterday, that he would raise the big one himself. Thinking of this, Xiao Chen immediately walked towards Su Chen.

“Good morning, Brother Chen, why don’t you sleep a little longer!” During dinner last night, Su Chen casually asked if he wanted to have a drink, and Xiao Chen and the other two immediately agreed.

Salman and Abdul, in particular, agreed wholeheartedly, even though drinking is prohibited in the country for religious reasons.

But you have a plan and I have a ladder. These princes from the Middle East flew to Europe for sightseeing just to drink.

This is why we often see reports of Middle Eastern princes hosting lavish parties in Europe.

Neither Su Chen nor Salman brought any alcohol or the like when they came to Irkutsk. They could only choose the local Russian-produced wine, which naturally had a much higher alcohol content.

Salman and Abdul were the kind of people who had a strong addiction to alcohol but a poor alcohol tolerance. They only drank about two or three bottles and were directly drunk by Xiao Chen.

What’s interesting is that when the two were sent back to the room, they were still clamoring to wait for him to arrange a batch of good wine so that they could have another competition with Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen and Su Chen just smiled and didn’t take it to heart. After all, who cares about what a “newbie” says after drinking?

“It’s okay. The wine we drank last night is just enough to fill the gaps between our teeth!” Xiao Chen smiled and sat beside him, holding his little white tiger over.

The little white tiger, which had been quiet, started crying as soon as it fell into Xiao Chen’s hands, and twisted its body frantically, trying to break free from Xiao Chen’s hands.

“What’s going on?” Xiao Chen was completely confused. It was fine just now, why did it become restless in his hands? Could it be that the little guy doesn’t like him?
Seeing this, Su Chen also showed a smile on his face. He reached out and touched the little guy in Xiao Chen’s hand. The little white tiger, which was still struggling, immediately calmed down, and raised its head and howled at Su Chen twice.

“Ah~ this!” Xiao Chen really didn’t understand what was going on. Why did the little guy become quiet as soon as Su Chen stretched out his hand? Could it be that Su Chen’s hand had some magical power?
Before he could figure out what was going on, he saw Su Chen approach the little guy and whispered, “Little guy, this guy will be your master from now on, you have to listen to him.”

Seeing Su Chen’s actions, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but laugh, “Xiao Chen, can the little guy understand what you are saying?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he found that the little guy in his hand was not as resistant as before. It rubbed his hand with its little head and licked his fingers with its pink little tongue.

“Gurgle!” Xiao Chen’s eyes were full of shock. He looked at Su Chen in disbelief. He opened his mouth but couldn’t say a word.

Before he could come to his senses, Su Chen stuffed a bottle into his free hand, “Hurry up and feed your little pet some milk!”

Xiao Chen looked deeply at Su Chen, who was feeding the little lynx with his head down, and felt that Su Chen was always a mystery. He always thought that he had seen through him, but Su Chen kept giving him all kinds of surprises, one after another.

Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze and didn’t think any more. He took the bottle and started feeding his little white tiger. The cute look of the little guy holding the bottle made Xiao Chen smile, showing the tender side of this passionate man.

The sound of a car braking interrupted this warm moment.

Su Chen looked up at the ranch gate and saw several cars parked steadily at the gate. He turned to look at Xiao Chen and asked, “Isn’t this the car we bought before? Did you arrange for Fade Chen to go out and do something?”

Xiao Chen nodded and responded, “Well, didn’t you arrange for me to find a group of mining exploration professionals from China? They arrived in Irkutsk last night. I specially arranged for Chen Fei to pick them up early in the morning, and the other personnel also came with them.”

Su Chen narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard that. He naturally knew what the other person Xiao Chen was talking about. He couldn’t help but feel a little expectant in his heart. He didn’t know whether the legendary Tsar’s treasure could be found.

About ten people got off several cars, each carrying large and small bags. At this time, Ivan also noticed the situation and walked out of the house quickly.

“BOSS~Who is this?” Although Ivan didn’t know what these people did, he knew they must be his boss’s people.

Su Chen touched the little lynx’s head and said softly, “I’m looking for someone to do mining exploration. You arrange a place for them to live first, and I’ll take care of the follow-up matters!”

Ivan’s eyes moved slightly, and he looked at the group of people at the door. Seeing Chen Fei being close to several muscular men, he already knew in his heart that these were the treasure hunters arranged by Su Chen.

“Okay, Boss~” Ivan didn’t think much about it. He knew that some things were best kept to himself. He just had to follow his boss’s arrangements. If there were any benefits, he would definitely get them.

Fortunately, there are enough wooden houses built throughout the ranch, and they are very large. Together with the camps of some patrol members in the mountains, it is more than enough to accommodate these ten people.

“Chen Fei, come here.” Seeing Chen Fei helping to carry several large bags of things, Su Chen waved at him.

Chen Fei immediately handed the things to the muscular man next to him, walked over quickly, bent down and asked respectfully: “Sir, do you have any arrangements?”

“After you settle the people, take your brothers to send the exploration team to the camp. By the way, take the two Mel brothers to the farm to play for a day. Try not to let them interact with other people.” Su Chen instructed in a heavy tone.

“Okay, sir!” Although he didn’t know why Su Chen made such arrangements, he understood that there must be a reason for such an arrangement.

After Fade Chen left, Xiao Chen asked, “Are you worried that the Meir brothers will attract Salman’s attention?”

Su Chen shrugged noncommittally, “From the conversation between you two yesterday, it seems that Salman is a smart man. Apart from those old Russians, we are the only people left on the ranch. If he sees the two Meir brothers, he will inevitably think too much.”

“Instead of this, it is better to hide the two brothers so as not to attract their attention.” The most important thing now is of course the Tsar’s treasure. The gold mine is just Su Chen’s cover. It doesn’t matter even if other people see it.

“Well~ I’ll tell those people later. Then you can arrange for Chen Fei to lead the team, and you’ll feel more at ease!” Xiao Chen did not forget to add that after all, those people were his subordinates, and he would also be responsible if anything went wrong.

“Okay!” Su Chen nodded when he heard that.

At this time, Salman and Abdul came out of the villa. Seeing Su Chen and the other two sitting in the open space, they immediately walked over, greeted them, and sat on a wooden bench beside them.

Seeing that the two men still had a trace of tiredness on their faces after drinking, Su Chen asked the kitchen to bring up the breakfast that had been prepared long ago. While eating breakfast, everyone planned today’s travel arrangements. After all, they had promised Salman and the others to go hunting yesterday.

When talking about hunting, Salman and Abdul’s spirits were obviously high. They looked like they were sharpening their knives and had already begun to imagine themselves hunting large animals.

For this reason, Salman specifically asked Su Chen if there were any cameras on the ranch, wanting to record his heroic moments.

Su Chen called Ivan over and asked him about it. Coincidentally, there was a camera on the ranch, which Ivan had bought to record his life.

After breakfast, everyone rested for half an hour and prepared to set off for the mountains. During this time, Chen Fei came to find Su Chen once, but when he saw that the two Salman brothers were there, he gave Su Chen a look and left.

“The clothes have been changed, let’s go into the mountains!” There will be quite a few people going into the mountains this time. In addition to Su Chen and others, Salman also brought four bodyguards. Each of them carried a big bag and had a weapon slung across his chest.

Su Chen took a look at the equipment of several bodyguards. They were all MP5s used for security and emergency response. They were quite lethal, but not very suitable for hunting.

After entering the mountains, Salman and Abdul were quite impressed. In their country, there were no such lush forests. The tall and straight birch forests had a unique charm. But when they passed through the birch forest and began to enter the mountains, Salman and Abdul suffered a lot. The rugged and difficult mountain roads really made them suffer.

If Su Chen had not strongly urged them to change into clothes suitable for walking in the forest, they would have probably gone home by now.

“How about we take a break?” Seeing that the two Salman brothers were so tired that they were breathing heavily, a smile flashed in Su Chen’s eyes.

“Let’s take a break. I didn’t expect this mountain road to be so difficult to walk on!” Salman immediately asked his bodyguards to clean up a place and laid a blanket on the ground. The bodyguards also took out a few bottles of mineral water and some snacks that were obviously very valuable from their backpacks.

When Su Chen saw this scene, he sighed in his heart. These big dogs really know how to enjoy themselves. If you don’t know, you would think they are out camping or having a picnic.

When they set off, he was still curious in his heart, why these bodyguards were carrying a big bag, it turned out that the bag was filled with various travel supplies.

After resting for about ten minutes, the group started again. When they arrived at the camp, Salman and Abdul no longer had the fighting spirit they had before. They were both completely exhausted.

As soon as he arrived at the camp, he slumped in the chair, with no intention of moving at all. He just drank the water handed to him by the bodyguard coolly. There was no trace of his previous princely demeanor.

After drinking half a bottle of water, Salman smiled bitterly and said, “Hey~ Su Chen, I think it’s okay if we don’t hunt!”

Hearing this, Su Chen also smiled, “Hahaha~ It’s okay, take a good rest and talk about it in the afternoon. There are also many wild goods in the woods around the camp, just some pheasants, rabbits and the like. If you are lucky, you can even meet a silly roe deer.”

“If you don’t mind, you can go and give it a try and experience it. After all, we have walked such a long mountain road, it would be a shame not to give it a try!” Su Chen also had a little selfish thought. While Salman and Abdul went hunting in the woods, he could also go and take care of the gold mine. If they were there, he would always feel like someone was watching him, and he would be restrained in doing things.

The phrase “Since we’re here now” applies to everyone. After thinking about it carefully, Salman agreed with Su Chen’s suggestion. It took so much effort to get into the mountains, it would be too embarrassing if they didn’t hunt some prey.

You have to know that what the royal family cares about most is face. When he bought the yacht, he and Bill Gates chose the same luxury yacht “Serena”. This yacht is so luxurious that it can carry a small all-electric submarine and a sightseeing helicopter.

At that time, Bill Gates offered 250 million US dollars. After knowing this, Salman directly gave the yacht owner 550 million US dollars. He was so generous that the yacht owner directly reduced his offer by 50 million US dollars, and only 500 million US dollars was required.

If he went out hunting and didn’t catch any prey, wouldn’t he be laughed at by his royal brothers if they knew about it?

After thinking for a moment, Salman nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll listen to you and try it this afternoon.”

This was also his first time hunting in the forest. Before that, he always drove a car on the grassland to chase and hunt.

After a simple barbecue meal in the camp at noon, Salman and Abdul set off with a few bodyguards. Su Chen also specially arranged a few patrol members who had followed him out hunting before, as well as Xuan Huang and the other two, as guides to prevent any accidents from happening to Salman.

After they left the camp, Su Chen took Xiao Chen and walked directly towards the river. The exploration team that Chen Fei had brought to the camp had already started the exploration mission.

The origin of this exploration team is not simple. Xiao Chen specially found it from the most professional exploration department. The various equipment can be said to be the most complete in the world.

When Su Chen and the other person walked to the river, they saw that the members of the detection team were already fiddling with various instruments around the river, reporting some data that Su Chen could not understand from time to time.

Seeing Su Chen and Xiao Chen coming, the head of the detection team also hurried over. He looked to be in his forties, with excitement on his dark face.

“Mr. Xiao, Mr. Su, you are finally here. If you hadn’t come earlier, I would have gone back to the ranch to find you!” the exploration team leader said excitedly.

Seeing him like this, he knew that he had discovered something extraordinary. Su Chen smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he didn’t need to be so excited.

“I still don’t know what to call you?”

“Li, Li Sihai!” The exploration team leader took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. When he came, a special security department had greeted him and asked him to follow the arrangements of Su Chen and Xiao Chen. He knew that this mission would not be easy.

Su Chen nodded when he heard this, “Team Leader Li, I wonder what news makes you so excited!”

Speaking of this, the excitement that Team Leader Li had just suppressed resurfaced, “Mr. Su, I led our team to conduct sampling at a depth of two meters at dozens of locations within a 500-meter radius of the entire river channel, and found that the density of gold in the soil is very unusual. The deeper the soil, the higher the gold content.”

As he spoke, Team Leader Li led the two men toward a specially cleared area, where they saw cylindrical soil samples mined with professional tools.

Each cylindrical piece of soil was flashing with a pale yellow light. They were of different sizes, with the largest piece being as big as Su Chen’s thumb. The deeper the soil went, the more gold sand it contained.

“How did you discover the existence of gold in the soil?” Su Chen asked curiously. Taking samples from a river channel covering nearly 500 meters was no simple undertaking. Furthermore, they must have some data to give them the confidence to do so.

“We use the natural heavy sand method. From the place where gold was found in the camp canyon to here, we first take samples and then use sand pans to screen out the amount of gold to determine the area of ​​gold around the river. After mining deep soil samples, we can roughly determine whether there is a large area of ​​gold around the river.”

“You guys are so fast?” When Su Chen was still wondering whether the workload was a bit too large, he saw Team Leader Li walking towards him from not far away with a shovel and a few cylinders.

When he saw the tool in Team Leader Li’s hand, an expression of “I see”.

“Luoyang shovel? I thought this thing was only used by archaeologists. I didn’t expect you would also use it for exploration.” Su Chen weighed it in his hand and said jokingly.

With this thing, exploring the river channel is so easy. Not to mention two meters, even five meters can be done in a few minutes.

“Hehe~ This thing is simply a magic weapon for river surveying. It can save several times the time!” A complacent look flashed across Team Leader Li’s face.

Xiao Chen, who had been silent, saw that the other exploration members had already walked to the foot of the hillside and were digging down with Luoyang shovels.

“Why did they go to the other side of the mountain? Team Leader Li, do you suspect that there is gold on this mountain?” Xiao Chen asked suddenly.

Hearing Xiao Chen’s question, Team Leader Li was silent for a moment and then shook his head gently.

Su Chen and Xiao Chen thought he was saying that there was no gold over there, but Team Leader Li’s next words also shocked them.

“I suspect the entire river basin is one big gold mine, including that mountain!”

“Team Leader Li, this is not a joke. You also know how big the area of ​​the entire river basin is. It is almost five or six square kilometers. This is just the river. If you add the mountain, it is at least more than ten square kilometers. This gold mine is quite huge!” Su Chen couldn’t help but show a trace of caution on his face.

Based on the gold content in the soil that has been explored so far, the value of this gold mine will be inestimable.

“Don’t think too much about it for now. You’ll know once the relevant data comes out.” Xiao Chen said, then looked at Team Leader Li and said, “Bring out the relevant data as soon as possible. Of course, don’t forget to keep it confidential!”

Upon hearing this, Team Leader Li straightened up immediately and nodded heavily to show that he understood!
