Chapter 242 Let your family go to the country!
Chersky Mountains!

As night falls, the forest becomes like a sleeping beast. There is an eerie silence. The ancient trees are towering, and the swaying branches seem to be whispering. The mountains in the distance are looming.

“Squeak~”

Two SUVs and an extended truck parked steadily at the edge of the forest.

“Are you there?”

Su Chen was also awakened from his sleep by the sudden brakes. He looked outside through the car window. Apart from the vague mountains in the distance and the rustling sound of leaves blown by the wind, the only sound was the car’s engine.

In the afternoon, after Chen Fei adjusted his condition, he called Ivan, Ciri and a patrol team of ten people and drove out. This team was the same one that had been stationed in the camp before, so they were trustworthy.

It took them more than four hours to drive over 400 kilometers. They set out at around two o’clock in the afternoon and arrived at the foot of the Chersky Mountains at around seven o’clock in the evening. They were still about seven or eight kilometers away from their destination!

When getting off the car, Su Chen could clearly see that everyone had a tired look on their faces.

“Sir, it will take at least an hour to get into the mountains. How about we eat something here first and then go in?” Chen Fei tightened his clothes and leaned close to Su Chen and whispered.

We’ve been sitting in the car for several hours and it’s time for dinner. If we don’t eat and drink enough, we’ll be exhausted when we go into the mountains.

“Well, go ahead and make the arrangements. Get more food, especially meat, so that everyone can have enough to eat. Also, call Ivan over!”

Chen Fei nodded when he heard this, and immediately asked the other patrol members to cook on the spot. You know, they came out very well prepared this time, not only all kinds of meat and vegetables, but even gas tanks and coal were prepared, just to facilitate outdoor cooking.

Looking at everyone busying themselves, Su Chen leaned against the car and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. Just at this time, Ivan also came over.

“Boss~ Are you looking for me?”

Su Chen handed the cigarette he had just taken out of the cigarette box to Ivan, and then he took one and lit it before saying, “You should have guessed the purpose of our trip, right?”

After saying that, Su Chen took a deep puff and a cloud of smoke came out of his mouth. His eyes were fixed on Ivan, who was holding a lighter to light his cigarette.

When they came out, Su Chen did not tell Ivan and the patrol members the purpose of the trip. Everyone only knew that they were going somewhere, but no one knew what they were going to do.

Hearing Su Chen’s question, Ivan, who was smoking, was shocked. When he saw Chen Fei and Mel, who had disappeared for ten days, coming back, he guessed in his heart that Chen Fei’s return was vaguely related to the Tsar’s treasure.

He was not very sure at first, but after Su Chen ordered to prepare the truck, he knew that the treasure was almost certain.

After taking two puffs, Ivan nodded, “Boss, I guess our trip is related to the Tsar’s treasure that Brother Mel mentioned earlier!”

“Yes~that’s right, Chen Fei and his team have found the location of the treasure. As for whether it is all of the Tsar’s treasure, that is unknown!” Su Chen did not hide anything and directly told Chen Fei and his team all of their findings. He just wanted to see what Ivan thought. This could be regarded as the last test for him.

Su Chen also caught a glimpse of Xuan Huang and the other man not far away, who were in a vigilant posture with their hands on the AK47s on their backs. As long as there was any movement on Su Chen’s side, they would immediately react accordingly.

Without thinking too much, Ivan threw the cigarette in his hand to the ground and stomped on it twice. When Xuan Huang and the others saw Ivan’s appearance, they thought he had some bad intentions. Just as they were about to step forward, they saw Ivan’s back was straight with his hands hanging naturally!
“Boss, please rest assured. If anyone in the patrol team has any improper intentions, I will personally deal with them!”

Ivan said this very firmly, his eyes and expression were serious as could not be more serious.

Su Chen didn’t say anything, just looked quietly at the dark night sky in the distance.

After a long time, Su Chen retracted his gaze and looked at Ivan who was still standing upright. He smiled and patted his shoulder and said, “I have great trust in you and your patrol members, otherwise I would not have arranged for you to come with me.”

But the next second, Su Chen changed the subject and asked curiously, “By the way, I’ve known you for so long, but I still don’t know what your family situation is like, and I haven’t heard you talk about it.”

Ivan didn’t think about it and blurted out, “Boss, my wife lives in the city. We have two children, a boy and a girl, who are fifteen years old and are currently in the fifth grade of the new year!”

You should know that in the Russians it only takes eleven years to go from elementary school to high school, of which elementary school only takes four years and junior high school takes four years. As for high school… it only takes two years to graduate.

There is still a big difference compared with China. The Russians pay more attention to the junior high school period, so that students can get more practice instead of just studying.

“Have you ever thought about arranging for your child to study in China?” Su Chen said in a very gentle tone.

Originally, Su Chen thought that Ivan would be particularly disgusted when he heard Su Chen’s words, after all, there was a sense of threat in it.

But…what was the result? Ivan’s reaction was beyond Su Chen’s expectations!
“Boss, are you serious? Can my child go to your country?” Ivan asked excitedly, grabbing Su Chen’s arm.

Su Chen was also confused by Ivan’s reaction for a while. He never expected that Ivan would be so excited.

It was the slight pain in his arm that brought Su Chen back to his senses. He smiled and nodded, “Well~ As long as you are willing, I can arrange a house and a school for you, even in places like the Imperial Capital or the Magic City!”

“Yes…yes!” Ivan nodded his head like pounding garlic.

After Ivan’s explanation, Su Chen finally understood why he was so excited.

The reasons are… just two simple ones.

The first thing he wanted to do was naturally to curry favor with Su Chen. Whether it was the strength he showed when interrogating the two Meier brothers, or the fact that he had settled the mining business in just ten days, Ivan understood that his boss was not simple in strength. This was also the reason why he did not feel the slightest bit of envy after he knew about the Tsar’s treasure.

Ivan is also smart, otherwise why would his patrol team obey his words? Even if he really gets the Tsar’s treasure, it will be useless. With his connections and channels, if people knew that the Tsar’s treasure was in his hands, he might not survive the next day.

As long as he holds on to Su Chen’s thighs firmly, his future development will definitely be promising. Why take risks for an uncertain future?

It is important for a person to know himself. This can be said to be the motto that Ivan has always adhered to!
As for the second point, he also wants his children to become successful. Although the education here in Russia focuses on practice, it is still far behind the educational resources in China.

Besides, with Su Chen’s help, it will definitely be a good school, which will definitely be of great help to the future of his son and daughter, and will also bring him and Su Chen closer.

“Okay, I’ll arrange it for you after this matter is over. You can also ask your subordinates if they have this idea!” The smile on Su Chen’s face became even brighter.

He also got the answer he wanted, and by the way, he also helped Ivan screen the people he could use as his subordinates.

Su Chen will definitely not stay in Lake Baikal for long. The affairs of the mine will eventually need a local to be in charge, and Ivan is naturally the best candidate. After he returns this time, he will have to learn from Li Li.

“Okay, Boss, I thank you on their behalf!” After bowing to Su Chen, Ivan happily walked towards the patrol team members who were cooking.

After a while, several cheers of joy were heard.

After a sumptuous outdoor dinner, one patrol member was left to guard the vehicle, while the others took food, water, weapons and several large bundles of sacks and headed into the mountains.

They stopped and started along the way, mainly because Chen Fei needed to determine the specific location. It took him a lot of effort to find the correct road.

After all, it was already dark and they were deep in the mountains and forests. If Chen Fei hadn’t made some marks on the trees when he came out, they would have had to wait until dawn to enter the mountains.

It took the group nearly two hours to reach the destination after walking for several kilometers. As soon as they entered the crevice of the mountain, two slightly hoarse voices came from both sides, “Stop, don’t move!”

Three figures emerged from behind two large rocks and surrounded them.

Before Su Chen and the others could react, three flashlights shone on everyone.

“Mr. Su?” When he saw clearly that the people coming were Su Chen, Chen Fei and others, the man holding the flashlight shouted with a hint of surprise.

“It’s me!” To be honest, Su Chen was also scared just now. He thought he had met some bad guy.

Even Ivan and the others who were following behind heaved a sigh of relief. They had not expected to meet their own people like this. Many of them reached for the weapons behind them, ready for a life-and-death fight.

It turned out to be one of their own. The change was so fast that the patrol members had not yet fully recovered.

Chen Fei, who was standing in front of Su Chen, also shone the flashlight at the person who was speaking and saw that it was Lin Tian, ​​one of the two people in the treasure hunting team.

“You really scared us to death. We almost got angry!” Chen Fei said unhappily.

Chen Fei and Xuan Huang’s reactions just now were also very quick. The moment Lin Tian and the others appeared, they took the weapons behind them.

“Hehe~ I didn’t expect Mr. Su to come in person. It’s so dark here!” Lin Tian felt a little scared. If there had been an exchange of fire just now, Su Chen would have been shot like a hornet’s nest.

Su Chen had no intention of blaming Lin Tian and the others. If he had to blame anyone, it was only the malfunction of the communicator, which prevented the two sides from communicating in time.

“Where are the others?” Su Chen looked at Lin Tian and asked.

“Mr. Su, the others are all down there!” Lin Tian said as he led Su Chen and the others towards the crack.

After turning around several times, they finally stopped at a place. Just as Su Chen was about to ask where the crack was, he saw Lin Tian and the other two squatting on the ground tinkering with it. Soon, a hole about three meters in size appeared in everyone’s sight.

Su Chenye didn’t expect that Lin Tian and the others had covered the entrance of the cave, and if you didn’t look carefully, you wouldn’t be able to notice it.

When the light shone into the cave, Su Chen discovered that the crack was not vertically downward as he had imagined before, but had a slope of about 40 to 50 degrees, as if it had been washed out by water. The ground was covered with uneven stone protrusions, making it very inconvenient to go down.

Everyone held the rope with one hand and grabbed the protruding part of the stone with the other, and it took a lot of effort to get down to the bottom of the cave.

Su Chen clapped his hands, and finally he had time to look around the entire cave bottom. He found that it was very wide, at least seven or eight meters high, and five or six meters wide. As for how long it was, Su Chen shone a flashlight but couldn’t see the end.

Even the other people who stayed down there were nowhere to be seen. Su Chen was just about to ask Lin Tian what was going on when he saw several torches appearing in the depths of the cave. The people who came were none other than the other members of the treasure hunting team.

After the treasure hunting team’s explanation, Su Chen realized that the cave was very long, at least two or three kilometers long. At the end of the cave, there was a pool of water with a diameter of more than ten meters. According to the positioning equipment they carried with them, the pool was connected to Lake Baikal.

They didn’t have any diving equipment, so they had no idea what was under the pool.

After walking for about seven or eight minutes, Su Chen saw many wooden boxes appear in his sight.

“Mr. Su, we have found a total of one hundred wooden boxes, no more, no less!” Lin Tian stood beside Su Chen and reported about the treasure.

They also dug in many places, but unfortunately they did not find the wooden box. Now the only place they have not searched is the pond.

Su Chen was not unhappy to hear the news. He smiled and patted Lin Tian’s arm. “One hundred boxes is already a lot. It’s better than nothing, isn’t it!”

After saying that, Su Chen walked towards the boxes, but the boxes were in tatters and the gold inside was exposed.

After a careful look, I found that these broken wooden boxes were filled with gold, and there were no gold or silver jewelry or antique crowns.

“Pa pa~” Su Chen clapped his hands, attracting everyone’s attention, and said loudly: “Everyone, take action, our mission is to bring all this gold back home!”

“Yes!” Everyone’s emotions were very high, and after a shout, they all took action.

The density of gold is relatively high. A 20-jin gold bar is not very big. You can pick one up with one hand. The speed at which everyone packed it was so fast!

There were more than twenty people, and each of them only needed to pack less than five boxes of gold bricks. It took less than two hours to pack all the gold in the one hundred boxes into the sacks.

The sacks that Su Chen and his companions brought were not ordinary sacks. They were specially used to carry grain. Not only were they thick, but they could also hold a lot. Each sack contained a full one hundred gold bricks.

Everyone was stunned when they were moving the gold bricks. One hundred gold bricks weighed a ton, and one or two people definitely could not lift them.

In desperation, they could only test how much everyone could carry. After some effort, they came up with the best number of 120 kilograms!

Both the patrol members and the treasure hunting team have undergone long-term training, and the weight is just enough to not affect everyone’s carrying.

Su Chen also divided the work, breaking up the treasure hunting team and the patrol team and mixing them together. Half of them were responsible for transporting the gold from here to the cave entrance, and the rest were responsible for transporting the gold to the car.

After all the gold was moved out, everyone worked together to transport it back. Su Chen also made a statement to everyone on the spot that as long as these gold bricks were transported back, everyone would be rewarded with 10 million!

Su Chen is not a stingy person. He knows the value of the gold and naturally will not be stingy with the reward.

When they heard about the 10 million yuan reward, everyone became very motivated and took action.

One night and one day!
It took a whole day and night!

Su Chen and his team moved from evening to dawn, and then to nightfall, and finally moved all the gold bricks from the mountain to the car. Everyone was so tired that they didn’t want to move, not even Su Chen.

The area occupied by these fifty tons of gold was not very large, and they did not even fill one-tenth of the capacity of the truck, but it took more than forty hours to move them!

Taking everyone’s mental state into consideration, Su Chen decided to rest in the wild for one night before returning to the ranch, so that everyone could have a good rest and get enough energy to avoid any accidents on the way back.

When returning the next day, Su Chen drove the car himself. There was nothing he could do about it. The patrol team and the treasure hunting team were so excited that they didn’t fall asleep until three or four in the morning.

If Su Chen hadn’t forced Chen Fei and Xili to get enough sleep and rest, I’m afraid no one would drive the car back home today.

The journey was smooth, but after entering the ranch area, Su Chen was surprised by the scene in front of him.

The roadsides were filled with various excavators, dump trucks, various mining equipment, etc. Su Chen took a look and there seemed to be at least dozens or hundreds of them.

“This Li Li is really efficient. It only took her such a short time to deploy all these devices!”

Thinking of the gold and rubidium mines that were about to be mined, the smile on Su Chen’s face deepened.
