Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before slaying the dragon

“It’s not that I shouldn’t ask, but in the end, Herzog’s death was attributed to many factors…” Lu Mingfei couldn’t think of an excuse for a moment.

Chu Tianjiao looked at Lu Mingfei deeply. Of course, he also saw Lu Mingfei's embarrassed expression, but this expression represented another meaning from his perspective.

"Takama-ga-hara", the corpse guards, the resurrected White King... Chu Tianjiao had never expected that in the years since Odin put a mask on him, the world would have experienced such great turmoil. It seemed that in every major event, the male character named Lu Mingfei was at the center of the storm, including this time when he was rescued from Odin's Nibelungen.

"Dragon Blood Baptism", this ancient secret recipe that even he himself had never heard of, Lu Mingfei actually realized it on Chu Zihang, and even used the White King's dragon blood as the raw material for baptism... Lu Mingfei was the one who killed the White King, Chu Tianjiao was almost certain of it.

Chu Tianjiao rarely felt that he could not see through a person at all, but there were too many secrets hidden in this boy named Lu Mingfei.

"Well, it's exciting news that humans have the power to destroy the Dragon King. No matter who kills the White King or how he is killed, this is an indelible milestone in the struggle between humans and dragons." Chu Tianjiao clapped his hands and looked at Chu Zihang. "It's a good thing that your mark has disappeared. The real Odin is probably still alive in some corner of the world. It's not a good thing to be targeted by something like that."

"But there is a problem." Chu Zihang suddenly said, "My mark disappeared when I was in Japan, but it seems that I can still enter Odin's Nibelung more easily than ordinary people."

"I think maybe it's because Uncle Chu has been the temporary owner of Nibelungen for the past seven years." Lu Mingfei explained to Chu Zihang, "I've thought about this question too. I've been thinking about it since you disappeared in Sacred Heart Hospital. When I finally found out that Odin is Uncle Chu, I suddenly figured it out. Maybe it's because Uncle Chu's blood is flowing in your body. Didn't you see the words Uncle Chu left behind when you mistakenly entered Nibelungen? This is probably due to the guidance of Uncle Chu's will, or some kind of call of bloodline."

Chu Zihang thought about it and nodded, agreeing with Lu Mingfei's statement.

"I have a question, too." Caesar looked at Chu Tianjiao, "Is there any news about Sasha?"

Chu Tianjiao was silent for a moment and then nodded.

"During the time I lived in the igloo in the northern part of Greenland, I was actually very concerned about Sasha," Chu Tianjiao said, "but that place was too isolated. There were no newspapers or news, and the means of communication were very limited. After I recovered from my injuries, it took about two weeks, plus the time I was unconscious, which was about three weeks in total, before I said goodbye to that girl and that igloo."

At this point, Chu Tianjiao suddenly paused, as if some story happened when he said goodbye to the place where he stayed for a short time, but after hesitating for just a moment, Chu Tianjiao chose to skip this topic.

"Just at that time, a research ship heading to the Arctic Circle passed by there, and I boarded the ship. They promised to drop me off at a port outside the Arctic Circle. I remember that port happened to be where the Yamal would pass by on its voyage." Chu Tianjiao said, "I didn't have Sasha's contact information and address, so the first thing I thought of to find out about Sasha was the Yamal. After the research ship dropped me off at that port, I immediately asked about the departure date of the Yamal, but the local tavern owner told me that the sightseeing ship had stopped operating."

"Out of service?" Caesar frowned slightly.

"Yes, the information I got from several locals is consistent. The official statement is that the ship has been reclaimed by the Russian government due to suspected high-stakes gambling, human trafficking and other criminal activities." Chu Tianjiao said, "But I know that the real reason why the Yamal was suspended was because of the Nibelung. On that day, many sailors and passengers on the ship saw supernatural phenomena, and a large number of people disappeared. The official statement was just to cover up the unusual experience of the ship to avoid causing panic."

"The money Vincent left behind?" Chu Zihang asked

"All parts on the Yamal were confiscated by the government." Chu Tianjiao said, "It was no longer feasible to investigate Sasha from the Yamal, so I used my connections to find a former KGB intelligence agent. I paid him a lot of money to find out the information of a former crew member of the Yamal. He gave a location, but told me that the man was under the supervision of the government organization. Because he was involved in illegal activities, he would most likely face imprisonment for the rest of his life."

"I didn't care about that. I found the man's location in a detention center in Canada. The detention center couldn't stop me, so I successfully sneaked in one night and found the crew member." Chu Tianjiao said, "I don't have a deep impression of him, but he obviously still remembers me. The moment he saw me, his face changed drastically, and his eyes were filled with deep fear, as if he had seen a ghost. He almost subconsciously wanted to shout out, and I stepped forward to cover his mouth and told him not to make a sound."

"I wrote down a string of numbers on a piece of paper and told him that as long as he cooperated with me and answered my questions, he or his family would receive the amount in US dollars within a month," Chu Tianjiao said. "I saw the fear in his eyes gradually fade away and finally turned into greed, and then I loosened my hand that was covering his mouth."

"I was able to sneak into the detention center and find him silently. He also understood that I was not an ordinary person, so he cooperated in answering questions. The first question I asked him was what happened to the ship after we jumped into the water from the 'Yamal' that day." Chu Tianjiao said, "The crew member told me that they reduced the speed to the lowest, but no one emerged from the water. Due to the panic of the guests on the ship, after sailing out of the transparent iceberg, the remaining crew members on the ship decided to change course and end this unfinished Arctic trip within half a day and return home early."

"My second question is why the government found them after they returned, and how the people and things on the ship were dealt with in the end." Chu Tianjiao said, "He told me that too many people disappeared on the Yamal, and even the two captains were missing. No one could hide such a big thing. There were many powerful people among the guests on the Yamal. Some of them were frightened, some lost their loved ones, and dozens of people jointly sued the Yamal to international organizations."

"In the end, the Russian government stepped in and confiscated the ship and all public and private property on board, and almost all the crew members were sent back to their own countries," Chu Tianjiao said. "Crew members without backgrounds will face jail time, while those with backgrounds will go through the motions and be released on parole after a few months when the storm has died down."

Chapter 1101 Sasha's Whereabouts

"So the crew member being held in the Italian detention center is one of those without any background?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"I said that the crew members working on the 'Yamal' all have backgrounds to some extent. After all, they were all from special forces. Some of them knew senior military officials, and some knew the powerful people in the gray industry." Chu Tianjiao said, "Including the crew member I visited, he was nominally imprisoned by the Canadian military, but in fact this is just a superficial effort to stop the public from talking. The Canadian military used the name of imprisonment to get him out of the People's Court's pursuit. In fact, the military will secretly send him out on camera after a while, but nominally they will tell the public that the crew member will be sent to prison. Almost all the crew members evacuated from the 'Yamal' will have this ending."

"It's perfectly normal." Chu Zihang said, "This happens in every country. Whether it's a big chaebol, the military or the political world, people of the same kind will protect each other because of the entanglement of the interest chain. This is the so-called 'officials protecting each other'."

"Many times, justice and evil are not relative. The development of a civilization is always accompanied by negative things. Absolute justice is an extremely scarce commodity." Caesar suddenly said.

"It's hard to imagine that these words actually came out of your mouth, Boss." Lu Mingfei looked at Caesar in surprise.

The other people in the room also looked at Caesar, and were all surprised by his remarks, because Caesar always adhered to absolute justice. He would never say that negative things should exist or that absolute justice is a scarce commodity.

"Even if it's the justice I believe in, I don't think it's the so-called absolute justice." Caesar's voice was not loud, but it echoed in the room for a long time, "But the justice in my heart is absolute. Without justice, there would be no life for Caesar Gattuso. I will live for my justice, and I can also die for my justice."

When everyone was silent, sudden applause broke out in the room. Everyone turned their heads and saw Finkel clapping hard, like a supporting actor in a crosstalk show.

"Whoever can drag this guy out will be shot in five minutes." Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes.

“Young man from the Gattuso family, I envy the justice you uphold in your heart.” Chu Tianjiao looked at Caesar, “even though it still seems immature and naive.”

"The third question I asked the crew member was probably the ultimate purpose of my trip." Chu Tianjiao whispered, "I asked him if he knew Sasha's address. In fact, this was the question I wanted to ask from the beginning, but I kept it in my heart and didn't ask it out loud because my subconscious was fighting and my heart was afraid. I was afraid that if I asked this question, I would get news of Sasha's death."

"It's normal for people to subconsciously avoid things they fear." Chu Zihang nodded.

"But to my surprise, after I asked this question, the crew member didn't look confused or puzzled," Chu Tianjiao said. "When he heard the name Sasha, an incomprehensible fear flashed across his face."

"Fear?" Finkel couldn't help but interjected, "Does that guy owe money to Sasha?"

"Brother, could you please stop having those periodic brain cramps?" Lu Mingfei glared at Finkel impatiently.

"Not only did his expression turn into fear, I even saw that crew member's body was shaking slightly, and he kept repeating Sasha's name in a low voice, as if that wasn't his former comrade, but a forbidden devil that couldn't be mentioned." Chu Tianjiao said, "I leaned over, stared into his eyes, and asked him what he knew about Sasha. He hesitated for a long time before he slowly spoke, but what he told me was not Sasha's home address, but another piece of news."

"What news?" Nuonuo asked subconsciously.

"He said that the last time he saw Sasha was nearly a month ago," Chu Tianjiao said.

"Nearly a month ago?" Caesar frowned slightly. "Wasn't that when they were working together on the Yamal?"

"No, if it was when they worked together on the 'Yamal', then the crew wouldn't have to emphasize the one-month period." Nono shook his head and expressed a different opinion. "And if he was just talking about their work together on the 'Yamal', why would he have such a horrified expression as if he had seen a ghost? It's impossible that he really owed Sasha a lot of money, right?"

"How is it impossible?" When Finkel heard someone mention his point of view, he immediately became excited, "I think it is very likely!"

This time no one paid any attention to him, even Lu Mingfei was too lazy to complain.

"I heard something different in his words, and I noticed his strange expression. I lowered my body and asked him to tell me everything he knew about Sasha, otherwise he would never get out of the detention center alive. Do you want to bet on whether I can do it?" Chu Tianjiao said, "I don't really like such direct threats, but this is about Sasha, and seeing the crew member's expression, I admit that I was a little panicked. Ever since I remembered what happened in Nibelungen, I've been thinking about how to find Sasha."

"The crew member then said something that completely surprised me," Chu Tianjiao said. "He said Sasha was the only survivor of the 'Arctic Ghost Incident.'"

"'Arctic Ghost Incident'?" Chu Zihang murmured and repeated the unfamiliar word.

"The crew member was probably scared by me. After that, he didn't keep me in suspense and told me everything he knew." Chu Tianjiao said, "He said the so-called 'Arctic Ghost Incident' refers to the supernatural incident that the 'Yamal' encountered in the Arctic Circle a month ago. Almost all the passengers on the ship remembered that the 'Yamal' broke into an invisible iceberg. Under the sea of ​​the iceberg, there was a mirage-like reflection with a strange human figure in the reflection. When the people on the ship saw him, they rushed into the water as if they were possessed. The death toll reached more than a hundred. This incident has spread throughout the upper class of Europe and North America, and even some civilians have heard of it. He also said that I could go out and inquire about it casually. He definitely didn't lie to me."

"That white humanoid?" Aki Jude's expression changed. "Does everyone know about it? Isn't the secret of the dragons leaked?"

"It should be fine. Only the half-bloods would associate this incident with the dragon race. Ordinary people should only know that the passengers on the Yamal encountered supernatural events." Chu Zihang said, "Besides, the high-level governments of Europe and North America should also have people from local half-blood organizations who can control the development of public opinion. I guess they took the initiative to spread this rumor and named it the 'ghost incident'. It sounds like they are deliberately leading this incident to a supernatural event."

"The dragon incident is not widely known. Even the crew member who told me about it thought they really encountered something like a ghost." Chu Tianjiao said, "But I don't care about these rumors. I only care about Sasha's news. I asked him what he meant by 'the only survivor'?"

"The crew member told me that during the last voyage of the Yamal, all the people who jumped into the sea when they encountered a mirage eventually disappeared, as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth. That area is a high seas area, and no country has the obligation or ability to search for victims in the harsh Arctic Ocean. Therefore, all the missing people on the Yamal are assumed to be dead." Chu Tianjiao paused, "Except Sasha Rebalko, Sasha is the only person who survived the incident. On the way back, the Yamal salvaged a floating person on the icy sea. After verifying his identity, it was confirmed that it was Sasha Rebalko, the former acting captain of the Yamal."

"What a coincidence?" Ye Sheng showed a surprised expression. It seemed that everyone had a good impression of Sasha.

"Hearing that Sasha was still alive, I finally felt relieved. I asked the crew member if Sasha was imprisoned by the government like them. If Sasha was also determined to be a participant in the crime of the Yamal, he should be detained in a detention center in Russia." Chu Tianjiao said, "But the crew member's next words made me feel relieved again. He told me that Sasha was not in the detention center. If nothing unexpected happened, he should be in the hospital."

"Sasha was seriously injured in Nibelungen, so it's normal for him to be in the hospital. Even criminals will receive humanitarian treatment." Lu Mingfei said, "It took Uncle Chu several weeks to recover. Sasha's injury is more serious than Uncle Chu's, and he doesn't have dragon blood in his body. If he is hospitalized, it will take at least a year or two."

"No, when the crew member said this, his eyes were obviously evasive. Then he sighed and told me that Sasha was the luckiest of the victims, but also the most miserable of the survivors." Chu Tianjiao whispered, "He said that when the Yamal salvaged Sasha, he had been in a coma or even on the verge of death. In addition to the broken arm and serious external injuries, the ship's doctor initially determined that Sasha had intracranial hemorrhage and suffered severe brain damage."

Everyone in the room's expression changed.

"They docked as quickly as possible, and Sasha was sent to the hospital. He was in the intensive care unit for several days and was in danger of death. In the end, his life was saved." Chu Tianjiao said, "But Sasha was finally diagnosed with suspended animation. The doctor said he would fall into a permanent coma and would most likely never wake up. This news was blocked by the Russian government, and almost no one knew about it except some crew members on the Yamal."

"Suspended death, in folk terms, is a vegetative state." Chu Zihang whispered, "Apart from congenital maldevelopment, the causes of becoming a vegetative state include severe brain damage, moderate carbon monoxide, and encountering major stressful events. It is said that whether the patient can eventually wake up depends on their desire to survive and whether they can encounter strong mental stimulation."

Everyone in the room had complicated expressions to varying degrees. If this was Sasha's final outcome, it would be even more difficult to accept than disappearance or death. Everyone felt as if something was blocking their hearts.

"The crew member didn't know which hospital Sasha was in, so I didn't make things difficult for him. I told him that I would transfer the money I promised him to his account on time because it wasn't my money. It was actually Vincent's property. Before he died, the old man asked me to distribute it to his crew members and their families." Chu Tianjiao said, "The money was kept in a Zurich bank. There was only a 16-digit password to withdraw it, and this password was originally known only to Vincent, so even the government couldn't confiscate the money. It was a large sum. I originally wanted to give the money to Sasha to distribute, but it seems I have to do it for him."

"After leaving the detention center, I rushed to Russia from Canada without stopping. The news about Sasha was really blocked very tightly. I asked several people to find him but they couldn't find him." Chu Tianjiao said, "I used the dumbest method and ran to all the hospitals in Russia. Finally, I saw Sasha Rybalko's name in front of the ward of a hospital specializing in brain surgery in Moscow."

"I found the private ward late at night. It rained heavily in Moscow that day. I was soaked. I stood in front of the ward and saw Sasha lying on the bed through the transparent window. He was wrapped in bandages, just like the white figure who almost killed us." Chu Tianjiao said, "I pushed the door open and walked in. Sasha was lying quietly on the bed. His face was burned over a large area and wrapped tightly in gauze, but I still recognized him at the first sight."

"It's strange to say, actually my memory is not bad, I can even say it's excellent, but I wouldn't recognize someone who I just spent a day with if he turned into this." Chu Tianjiao's voice became softer and softer, "But when I looked at those closed eyes, I knew it was Sasha, the brother I trusted with my back. Sometimes men's feelings are really strange. You just clinked glasses with him, but you are willing to die for him."

Having said this, Chu Tianjiao's voice suddenly paused. There was no expression on his face, but the last syllable was slightly choked.

Almost all the girls in the room had tears in their eyes, and even Eri's mouth turned flat.

"In the cabinet next to Sasha's bed, there was a bunch of withered flowers in a vase with a note in Russian saying 'I wish you a speedy recovery'. Those were the flowers that all hospitalized patients received on their first day of hospitalization." Chu Tianjiao said, "That flower had withered for a long time, but no medical staff replaced it because the person lying in bed would probably never wake up."

Although Chu Tianjiao didn't say it, everyone understood the implication of these words... There was only a bouquet of withered flowers given by the hospital when Sasha was admitted to the bed, which meant that Sasha had been alone for so long.

Chapter 1102 A man’s departure is silent

Although there is the factor of government control, such an outcome is a bit too sad.

Lu Mingfei and the others still remembered that Chu Tianjiao had said that Sasha had a younger sister, a girl with a bad record in life, and Sasha's mother, a woman who was hospitalized due to Alzheimer's disease and needed expensive surgery.

This man's life was hard enough. No one could heal his unhappy childhood, but he had to support his shattered family all the time. And there was no happy ending in the end...Sasha was by no means a good man in the secular sense. Even his act of assisting Vincent on the "Yamal" was tantamount to aiding and abetting evil. But who could ask him to be a good man? Life had never been kind to this man.

The time he spent as a seaman on the "Yamal" was probably one of the few relaxing and comfortable times in this man's life...but he could never go back. The ship was no longer there, and those comrades who had once been most familiar to Sasha and had fought side by side with him were almost all dead. Those beautiful Russian girls, the lights and shadows of the feasting and drinking, the magnificent and stunning polar scenery, and the high-spirited sailors' boat songs, were like a long and dreamy banquet that had ended and would never come back again.

"I sat down beside Sasha's bed. There was a chair with a thin layer of dust on it," Chu Tianjiao said. "It was late at night and the hospital was very quiet. Sasha was in an independent ward and there were almost no people passing by outside the corridor. There was only the sound of the drip dripping slowly in the room. I sat there for a very long time."

"The moonlight from Moscow poured in through the white curtains and fell on Sasha's face. It was a light white, and the scene was very peaceful." Chu Tianjiao said softly, "Although Sasha's face was wrapped in gauze and I couldn't see his expression clearly, I felt that he was so peaceful at that time, as if he had a very long sleep and was finally able to bid farewell to the painful memories in his life. He was able to look for his comrades who had spent so many years with him, and the cunning, sinister and charlatan captain. Maybe in his dreams he could even meet a beautiful Russian girl he loved."

Chu Tianjiao's face was filled with nostalgia. When he recalled the man named Sasha, he silently lit a cigarette. His eyes were unclear in the smoke. Everyone in the room just listened quietly... This time, even the most talkative Finkel did not interrupt him at an inopportune time. No matter how stupid a person is, he would not make fun of a man's sadness, not to mention that this sadness came from the friendship between men.

"I don't know how long I sat in Sasha's ward, maybe three hours, maybe four hours. I just remember that it was almost dawn when I left, and I just sat there quietly without saying a word." Chu Tianjiao said, "In fact, I had a lot to say to Sasha, but when I saw him like this, I suddenly didn't want to speak, because I knew it was meaningless to do so. Even if I said something, it would be too late, and Sasha wouldn't be able to hear it. All I wanted to do was to accompany him, even if it was only for a few hours."

Perhaps many times, a man's departure begins silently.

"Did you leave after dawn?" Chu Zihang asked.

"Well, I left at dawn. When I walked into the elevator from the corridor, I happened to meet two nurses on duty. When they passed by me, I heard them say that the guy in the ward in front was too pitiful. I have never seen a guy who has been hospitalized for so long and has never had any relatives visit him." Chu Tianjiao said, "The government only submitted his treatment and two years of hospitalization expenses to the hospital. Once this time is exceeded and the guy hasn't woken up, he will probably have to live in the morgue in the future."

"Why is this happening?" Aki Jude sounded somewhat sympathetic for Sasha.

"I didn't say much. I just paid Sasha's future hospitalization fees when I left the hospital. The nurse on duty handed me a form to fill out, and I filled in 100 years as the hospitalization date." Chu Tianjiao said, "The nurse on duty was obviously frightened when she received the form. After a brief shock, she asked me seriously if I was joking. I didn't say much, but handed her a card and told her how much the hospitalization fee for 100 years would be. Just swipe the card."

"The balance on that card once again shocked the nurse on duty. This time, she quietly paid for the 100-year hospitalization fee and returned the card to me respectfully. As I was leaving, I caught a glimpse of her making a phone call." Chu Tianjiao said, "Because Sasha was assigned to the hospital by the government and was related to the 'North Pole Ghost Incident', the government probably specifically told the hospital to report to them immediately if anyone came to visit Sasha."

"But none of this has anything to do with me, because I don't plan to appear in Sasha's life again, and the government can't find me." Chu Tianjiao said, "My client helped me investigate the address of Sasha's mother's hospitalization and his sister's address."

"It was a private mental hospital. The haggard woman had messy hair and sunken eyes. She was Sasha's mother. I just looked at her from a distance and didn't talk to her." Chu Tianjiao said, "I also found the nurse on duty and asked how long the woman's hospital stay would last. The answer I got was one year."

"The nurse on duty said that every year a man with a beard and scars on his face comes to visit the woman. He brings a big bag of macadamia nuts, which the woman likes. He stays for half a day each time and tells the woman some unrealistic jokes, which makes her very happy." Chu Tianjiao said, "Before leaving, the man will hand over a year's hospitalization fee for the woman at the front desk. The hospitalization fee for a psychiatric hospital is actually quite expensive. In addition, the labor cost of private hospitals is very high. For ordinary people, it is definitely a huge expense."

"Sasha is a responsible man." Chu Zihang said softly.

But that man will never come again, and perhaps the woman who is already suffering from dementia doesn’t know why the kind man who came to visit her every year, brought her delicious macadamia nuts and told her jokes, suddenly stopped coming one day... Or maybe the woman doesn’t care about these things at all, because the hospital said that her condition has become more serious over the years, and she often can’t tell the difference between dreams and reality.

"I also paid for the woman's hospitalization fees for a hundred years. The nurse on duty was also scared, but unlike the nurse on duty when Sasha was hospitalized, this girl told me that even if the woman's condition did not worsen, she would not live more than twenty years." Chu Tianjiao said, "I still gave the money to the nurse, and told her that if the woman unfortunately passed away one day, please use part of the extra money to hold her funeral, and write 'Sasha Rebalko's mother' on the tombstone. Before leaving, I went to a nearby store to buy a large bag of macadamia nuts, and asked the nurse to tell the woman that these were brought to her by the man who used to come every year, but he was very busy today, so he took one look at her and left in a hurry."

Jiude Yaji subconsciously wanted to ask Chu Tianjiao why he didn't let the nurse bring a bag of macadamia nuts for women every year, but was stopped by Ye Sheng who patted him on the shoulder. Looking at Ye Sheng's expression, Jiude Yaji understood what Chu Tianjiao meant.

What's important is not macadamia nuts, but that Sasha and the woman are mother and son. Even if the woman receives macadamia nuts every year, the man will never appear again. For an Alzheimer's patient, maybe she will forget about it next year, but if there are only macadamia nuts every year, how lonely she would be when she suddenly thinks of the man.

"After that, I went to look for Sasha's sister. She lived in an old apartment building in the eastern suburbs of Moscow," Chu Tianjiao said. "It wasn't a big town. The girl worked in the only bar in the town, two streets away from the apartment. When I went there, I saw her sitting in a booth next to the bar, smoking a local hookah."

"That girl has a pretty face and a tall figure, but her makeup is a bit too heavy. I ordered a drink at the bar next to her and observed her for a while. The girl just sat there quietly. I don't know what she was thinking. She also reacted calmly to the man who approached her, as if she was used to it." Chu Tianjiao said, "I thought that this girl who looks a bit world-weary would not be too sad even if she knew about her brother's affairs. However, I heard good news from the bartender. The girl is no longer a dancer and seems to go to the detoxification center in town regularly."

"I only stayed there for half an hour before leaving. Sasha couldn't change the lives of his relatives, so I had no reason to interfere with that girl's life." Chu Tianjiao said, "So I didn't leave her anything. I just bought her a financial security fund. Every month, a sum of money will be transferred to her account anonymously. She has no way of investigating the source of the money. The amount is not large, and it is definitely not enough for her to maintain her previous bad habits. But even if she leaves the pub, the money is definitely enough to maintain her normal living expenses."

"Before leaving that city, the last place I went to," Chu Tianjiao said, "was a flower shop."

"Flower shop..." Chu Zihang's eyes jumped.

"That flower shop has been open for a long time and seems to be doing good business. I also paid the boss a large sum of money and asked him to send someone to a ward in Chengnan Hospital every two weeks to bring a bouquet of flowers to a patient named Sasha." Chu Tianjiao said, "I left a long list of names on a piece of paper and asked him to send the flowers under one of these names each time. There were crew members of the Yamal that I investigated, girls that Sasha had contacted, Vincent, Sasha's mother and sister. In the end, I hesitated and didn't write my name."

"I don't know whether it's out of self-blame or regret, but I think if Sasha hadn't known me, he might have lived a happy life in the future." Chu Tianjiao looked at the ceiling and said softly.

"I don't think Sasha will regret meeting you." Chu Zihang suddenly looked at Chu Tianjiao and said, "Everyone has the ability to make their own choices. Sasha has always been forced by fate, but he has been making the choices he wants to make over the years, including entering Nibelungen and protecting you in the end."

"Once a man makes a choice, the word regret should not exist in his dictionary." Caesar also agreed with Chu Zihang this time, "regret is the best choice for a man."

"Maybe." Chu Tianjiao was silent for a moment, then whispered, "I used the remaining money that Vincent deposited in the Zurich Bank to buy a plot of land for Vincent in the Berlin Cemetery in Germany, and the rest was equally distributed to every crew member and their families on the Yamal. I didn't keep a penny. After doing all this, I left Russia and haven't been back in all these years."

After saying this, Chu Tianjiao slowly put out the cigarette in his hand. The cigarette butt had burned out. After he exhaled the last deep puff of smoke, he showed a relieved expression, as if he was saying goodbye to a long past.

The silence in the room lasted for a long time. Lu Mingfei and Caesar looked at each other for a few seconds. Chu Zihang wanted to speak several times, but in the end he said nothing.

"Don't comfort me. These things happened many years ago. I got over it a long time ago. Every man has a thrilling experience when he is young." Chu Tianjiao suddenly smiled and looked at Chu Zihang. "Your life is more exciting than mine. Son, these classmates of yours are all great people. Remember to always cherish those who are loyal to you."

"Got it." Chu Zihang nodded slightly.

"So after leaving Russia, Uncle Chu, you came to this city?" Nuonuo asked Chu Tianjiao, "Because of the coordinates left in the 'Isle of Death'?"

"In fact, I also sent people to inquire in the capital and the Three Gorges, but I didn't get any useful information. After coming to this city, I found some clues." Chu Tianjiao paused and scratched his head a little embarrassedly. "Another reason is that I met my son's mother here. I forgot about everything in those years."

“Then Uncle Chu, you can’t leave, right?” Lu Mingfei pointed at the wall full of photos of Su Xiaoyan and said teasingly, “This is your main mission, Uncle Chu, right?”

"Although my status doesn't allow me to say this, but men are busy all their lives, isn't it normal for them to marry and have children?" Chu Tianjiao was not shy at all. He put his arm around Chu Zihang's shoulders and said, "A wife is the main task, and so is a son after he is born. With such a beautiful wife and such a smart son, who wouldn't worry more about them?"

Chu Tianjiao's expression was a little awkward, but he still didn't push away Chu Tianjiao's hand on his shoulder.

"Uncle Chu, how many times have you met Odin in all these years that you have lived in this city?" Lu Mingfei asked Chu Tianjiao.
