RPAGF Chapter 70 Finally Meeting Vasily
Chapter 70 Finally Meeting Vasily
Stepping out of the main medical building, the cold morning wind on his face cleared Lu Ye's head considerably.
He hesitated at the intersection for a moment, glanced in the direction of the Rusty Shell Bar, and finally turned around and strode towards the second basement level of the camp.
Vasily might not go to the bar, so he decided to send the money to his parents back home first.
Lu Yeqing arrived at the second basement level and went directly into the office of The Undertaker PMC.
In the office, the somewhat balding middle-aged man, Ratmir, was drinking coffee.
Upon seeing Lu Ye enter, Ratmir's face immediately broke into a professional smile.
Yesterday, Lu Ye crippled Shatov in the basement and then achieved an abnormal score at the shooting range, exceeding the maximum range of the weapon while seated. This news had already spread throughout the camp last night.
In Ratmir's eyes, Lu Ye is now an absolute blue-chip stock with unlimited potential.
"Oh! Lu! I heard you were quite the star last night!" Ratmir stood up, adjusted his glasses, and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"I need to transfer some money to China. Captain Yuri said you can do it." Lu Ye got straight to the point and pulled out the debit card.
Latmir nodded, his smile fading. "Of course. But our rule here is that we charge a 10% commission, regardless of the amount. That's the company's cut."
"No problem." Lu Ye replied without hesitation.
"I want to wire $100,000," Lu Ye announced.
$100,000 would be enough for the parents to live comfortably for a long time, covering their daughter's school expenses.
Ratmir took the card, swiped it on the card reader in front of the computer, and gestured for Lu Ye to enter the password.
Please provide the recipient's account information and bank code.
The whole process went very smoothly.
Less than ten minutes later, Ratmir pressed the Enter key.
"Okay. $110,000 has been deducted from your card, $10,000 of which is a processing fee."
"The remaining 100,000 will be transferred through shell company accounts in three different countries, and within a maximum of twelve hours, it will be deposited into the account you provide under the guise of legitimate commercial trade."
Ratmir handed the card back to Lu Ye.
Lu Ye put the card away.
The money has been transferred, but where is the person?
At this moment, Lu Ye's desire to call home and hear his daughter and parents' voices reached its peak.
Lu Ye swallowed hard, looked at Ratmir, and said in a slightly strained voice, "Mr. Ratmir, may I make an international call here? Just to let my family know I'm safe."
Ratmir looked up, his eyes becoming somewhat complicated. After hesitating for a moment, he shook his head: "Lu, theoretically it's possible, but I strongly advise you not to do it. The risk is extremely high."
"Why?" Lu Ye frowned.
Ratmir lowered his voice: "Because this is a frontline hub camp, radio silence is the first rule. If you want to make international calls, you must use the military's encrypted satellite at the command center."
"This requires the highest level of approval from the command center. Moreover, the entire phone call needs to be monitored in real time."
Ratmir's expression turned extremely serious: "On the phone, you are strictly forbidden from mentioning any information about your location, weather, unit number, or mission details."
"If the monitoring personnel suspect that what you say is a leak of secrets, they will immediately cut off the line."
Latmir sighed. "In this camp, people suspected of espionage never need a trial. You know what I mean?"
"I understand. Thank you for reminding me." Lu Ye took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the longing in his heart.
Lu Ye walked dejectedly down the carpeted corridor.
His mind was filled with images of his daughter's innocent and adorable face, and the wrinkles around his parents' eyes.
I wonder if my parents will be worried and fearful after receiving this huge sum of money from an unknown source?
"Get out of the way!"
Suddenly, a stern rebuke rang out from ahead.
Lu Ye suddenly snapped out of his daze and looked up.
He was completely unaware that a group of people were striding towards him from a short distance ahead.
And walking at the very front was that female officer!
At this point, the distance between the two sides was less than three meters.
The female officer moved with great speed, and several fully armed guards beside her had already placed their hands on the buttocks of their guns, their eyes fixed on Lu Ye.
Lu Ye's heart skipped a beat. He could only rely on his superhuman reflexes to stop in his tracks, abruptly turning to the right and pressing himself tightly against the wall of the corridor, clearing the passageway in the middle.
Surrounded by a group of people, the female officer brushed past Lu Ye.
Just as the two crossed paths, Lu Ye slightly raised his eyelids and glanced at them.
He happened to make eye contact with the female officer who turned her head.
Her eyes held a deep interest, and even the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, forming a faint smile.
The entire process took less than a second before the female officer withdrew her gaze and led everyone into the command center.
Why did she look at me like that?
"Does she know me? Or does she know something?"
Lu Ye took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down and quickly suppressing all his emotions.
After reaching the ground, he straightened his training uniform and headed towards the Rusty Shell Bar.
Upon entering the bar, Lu Ye glanced around and spotted a familiar figure sitting in the corner of the bar.
He walked over quickly.
As he approached, the person at the bar turned around, and it was Vasily, dressed in casual clothes.
Their eyes met, and a clear hint of excitement flashed in Vasily's eyes.
He stood up, and Lu Ye stepped forward. The two hugged each other tightly and patted each other hard on the back twice.
Lu Ye took the opportunity to check Vasily's loyalty. "Not bad, it wasn't a waste of time, still 50%!"
"Come on, let's sit over there." Vasily glanced around and pulled Lu Ye to a relatively secluded booth in the bar.
As soon as he sat down, Vasily couldn't help but lower his voice and ask first, "Lu, how did you survive in Camp 17?"
"I was lucky enough to meet Yuri, and later I joined the Undertaker," Lu Ye briefly recounted his experience.
Then, Lu Ye stared at Vasily and asked, "And you? I heard Colonel Igor say on the radio that you were taken away by the military police for allegedly leaking secrets. How come you're still alive and well?"
Vasily nodded and gave a wry smile: "That's right, I was indeed taken away. But Igor didn't know that the military police were actually from our own department."
"The official reason given was that I had leaked camp secrets, but in reality, it was a pretext that my superiors had come up with specifically to ensure my safe withdrawal from the war zone."
Hearing this, Lu Ye shook his head helplessly: "You've really put me in a difficult position. Colonel Igor thought I was your accomplice and abandoned me as a burden. If it weren't for Dmitry and Yuri, I would be a corpse by now."
Vasily's eyes showed guilt. He lowered his head and rubbed his cheeks with his hands: "My identity absolutely could not have been exposed at that time."
"When I was brought back to the department and reported the situation to my superior, requesting that she send someone to rescue you, I was refused. I'm sorry, Lu Ye."
