“We only know they’re connected to Alexander Bunin’s arms trade, but we don’t know their true purpose for traveling to northern Siberia. It’s a land of ice and snow, and aside from bear hunting, we can’t imagine anything else attracting these arms dealers,” Christina continued. “The only way is to send someone to infiltrate this organization. It took me three years, and this is the first time I received an invitation.”

“If the Russian Federal Security Service wants to track a train, there are many ways, such as trackers and military satellites. Trains must be on tracks, so they are easy to track,” said Lu Mingfei. “Using manpower is the most primitive and unsophisticated method.”

Christina looked at Lu Mingfei intently, her eyes full of curiosity. “You have some experience and training,” she said, carefully judging him.

Lu Mingfei couldn’t help but smile. He realized that this Special Agent Christina, with her brisk walk, was actually just a child. The young people on this train were all either wealthy or noble. She must have left her original circle three years ago, disguising herself as the daughter of a military and political leader in the Tatar Republic. Judging from her current age, she must have been around 20 back then.

This smile immediately displeased Christina. The Russian girl frowned and refused to let her dominance be inferior to Lu Mingfei.

“So you decided to use the most primitive method to solve the problem, and all tracking devices are useless, right?” Lu Mingfei asked.

“Yes, we tried all the tracking equipment, but the train disappeared on the Siberian ice sheet while it was driving.” Christina had no choice but to answer.

“Why did they choose you to carry out this mission?” Lu Mingfei asked again.

Christina puffed out her chest proudly. “Such an important mission certainly requires outstanding and determined people!”

Lu Mingfei sighed. “Judging from your appearance, you must have been pampered since childhood. Even if you have received the most complete military training, it doesn’t mean that you have enough experience to lurk among a group of dangerous arms dealers.”

Christina’s face changed, “How did you know?”

As soon as she said this, she realized she had made a mistake and subconsciously covered her mouth with her hands, but she immediately held it back. Just as Lu Mingfei guessed, this girl was just a self-proclaimed outstanding and determined special envoy. She pretended to be powerful, but in fact, she was still a child at heart.

Christina was silent for a moment, her arrogance diminishing slightly. “They chose me because I don’t have to pretend. My father is the military and political leader of the Tatar Republic.”

Lu Mingfei nodded. This was a reasonable explanation. Miss Christina’s advantage was that she was truly a young lady, but she inexplicably yearned to become an agent.

“You were trained in secret? Your father didn’t know?”

Christina raised her head again, her neck curves as beautiful as a swan’s. “My father is different from others. He is honest and serves the people! He knows who I am and supports my choices!”

Lu Mingfei still smiled. For some reason, he always felt like a kind elder in front of Miss Christina.

“So the GRU special forces raided the Elizabeth Palace because we had contact with Mr. Alexander Bunin?” Lu Mingfei continued to ask.

“We didn’t plan to raid the Elizabeth Palace. Our original target was Bunin’s residence. It was Bunin who drove the tank all the way to the Elizabeth Palace.”

Lu Mingfei nodded, feeling a little worried about Miss Christina. In reality, up until this point, he hadn’t chosen a side between Christina and Bunin; he was just a free rider. He’d been patiently talking to Christina just to get her to talk, and now she was answering every question.

“But Elizabeth Palace not only hides anti-tank weapons but also a mercenary squad! So the Romanov family is really Bunin’s buyer?” Christina’s eyes became sharp again.

“Do you think we are here to buy arms?” Lu Mingfei was a little confused.

“We infer that these arms dealers trade very important products in northern Siberia every year. The value of these products is so great that they are willing to travel thousands of kilometers…” Christina spoke slowly, and Lu Mingfei did not interrupt her and listened quietly.

In the owner’s box next door, a Beretta tactical pistol was leaning against the wall. Zero stood in the darkness, wearing a gorgeous silk robe, holding the heavy weapon steadily with his slender white wrist.

“There’s a saying on the black market that as long as you bring enough money, Alexander Bunin can sell you everything, nuclear materials, intercontinental missiles, uranium enrichment centrifuges… These things are not AK series rifles. If they fall into the hands of bad people, they can destroy a country! But we have never caught him with any evidence in this regard. He is very cautious and only trades with buyers he trusts, and it is very likely that these transactions took place in the uninhabited areas of Siberia. At this moment, the GRU special forces’ high-speed train is following us! All radars in Siberia have locked onto us! Brigadier General Godunov, the highest commander of the GRU forces, said that he will fully support our operation this time. No matter how many umbrellas Alexander Bunin has in the government, this will be the last trip of his life!” Christina spoke passionately all the way and sold her entire action plan to Lu Mingfei.

“But regarding Bunin’s transaction in Siberia, you are just guessing. The reason why the GRU special forces have not taken any action yet is that they are waiting for your evidence.” Lu Mingfei held his chin and looked at the majestic silly girl.

He had probably understood that Alexander Bunin’s arms business was likely divided into two layers: the black and white. He sold assault rifles and howitzers on the open market and nuclear weapons in the underground market, relying on caution and a thick layer of protection to remain hidden. This time, the FSB and GRU special forces were targeting him, determined to take down this arms ring, but they needed evidence; otherwise, Bunin’s protection would remain firmly in place.

“What’s there to doubt?” Christina’s eyes widened. “A scum like Alexander Bunin would definitely do evil if given the chance!”

Lu Mingfei shrugged. “Second Lieutenant Christina, is it really okay to talk to me about this? I’m also Mr. Bunin’s guest. If Mr. Bunin’s circle of friends is really an evil group, then I’m also a member of the evil group, right?”

Christina smiled coldly. “Bunin must have told you a story, right? They’re a very closed circle, but they invite a new friend to join every year, and the Romanov family is this year’s new friend.”

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, “Is it a lie?”     

“It’s true. Every year there’s a new guest, and he’s always invited aboard this train. But when they come back, he disappears,” Christina said darkly. “It’s like they had a picnic in Siberia and everyone ate him.”
