Chapter 468: Chapter 468: Discovering a Big Secret_1

Here at the security base, Wang Ye had only stayed for a day before he had to return.

He took his flight back to Moscow straight from Sevastopol Airport. As for Nova who was left in Simferopol, she could make her own way back.

Nowadays, he was a very busy man, he really couldn’t afford to stay away from Moscow for too long.

But as soon as he got back to Moscow, Wang Ye received an unexpected phone call.

It was from his old classmate, Wang Dan...

...

"Wang Ye, what have you been up to? I haven’t seen you at school for a while, and when I asked Nalan Yaqi, she was equally vague, saying you have moved house again."

Wang Dan queried over the phone.

Truthfully, Wang Ye had stopped maintaining much contact with the students he had come to study in Moscow with.

Ever since he moved out of the dorm, aside from Nalan Yaqi and Song Xiaogang who had close ties with him and followed his whereabouts, he had lost contact with virtually everyone else.

That’s just the way it is overseas; whether with classmates or compatriots, ties tend to weaken.

Wang Dan was a bit better off, she owned some shares in Qingyun Company and could therefore still chat with Wang Ye.

However, ever since Wang Ye and Angelina formalized their relationship and moved in together, even Wang Dan gradually reduced her communications with him.

Today’s sudden call made him wondering why she called.

Wang Ye responded with a laugh, "Yeah, I’ve been pretty busy lately. I’ve started a trade company with a friend, so I’ve just been messing around with that. Did you call me for something?"

"Oh, you know what? Yesterday, that little rascal Zhang Ke came to see me with a Russian newspaper, cryptically saying that one of the people pictured was you. And you know, the guy in the paper really did look like you. Had he not said that the guy in the paper was some member of the Duma, I would have thought you’ve done something big to make the papers..."

Listening to what Wang Dan was saying, Wang Ye’s brow started to furrow.

His double identity might not be a major issue for now, but if someone with an agenda were to let it out, it could be more than a minor nuisance.

Those who knew of his double life would likely cover up for him at this point.

But people like Zhang Ke were as annoying as flies - and quite a handful at that.

Even if they caused a fuss, it wouldn’t seriously affect him, but it would annoy him.

Just when he thought Zhang Ke had turned over a new leaf and left him be, who would’ve thought he was back to meddling in his affairs?

Generally speaking, Chinese students studying abroad don’t read Russian newspapers or watch TV news. After all, everyone was preoccupied with their studies or earning money; who had the idle time to care about Russian affairs?...

Who knows where Zhang Ke randomly saw his picture in the newspaper and remembered it.

Luckily, newspaper photos these days are black and white, not too clear.

Even though the person in the picture looked a lot like Wang Ye, both Zhang Ke and Wang Dan weren’t sure if it was Wang Ye himself, especially since the newspaper labeled the person as a "Duma Member" and "Member of the Economic Committee"....

Zhang Ke probably had his doubts after reading the newspaper. He was quite certain that the man in the paper named Mikhail was Wang Ye, but how on earth did Wang Ye become a member of the Duma? He was scratching his head, unable to figure it out.

Of course, he also wondered if he was delusional. Could anyone become a member of the Duma?!

Whatever the case, a Chinese student like Wang Ye couldn’t possibly...could he?

After giving it some thought, Zhang Ke went to Wang Dan with the newspaper to get her opinion on whether the guy in the photograph really was Wang Ye.

Resultingly, after staring at the newspaper for some time and finding out what the article was saying, Wang Dan ended up ridiculing Zhang Ke for his paranoia.

She even said, how could a Chinese student like Wang Ye possibly be elected a Duma Member? That’s obviously impossible!

But in the end, before Zhang Ke left, he had Wang Dan promise to contact Wang Ye to find out what he was up to...

Clearly, he was still suspicious.

After hearing Wang Dan’s words, Wang Ye calmly replied, "Ha ha, I’d love to be a Duma Member too, it’s just that they don’t want me! I’m not Russian, and neither do I have plans to adopt Russian citizenship."

Upon hearing this, Wang Dan laughed and said energetically, "Exactly, it’s so cold here, what’s there to love about it? Once I graduate, I’m going back to our country, I don’t want to stay here for a second longer!"

"Mm, I’ll take you out for a meal when I come back to school in a few days. I have things to attend to now, so I have to go."

After hanging up, Wang Ye thought for a moment, picked up his phone, and dialed a number...

...

Zhang Ke had felt rather uneasy these past few days.

He had picked up that newspaper out of boredom when he was at Sheremetyevo Airport to pick someone up.

Of course, with his level of Russian, he didn’t understand the news in the paper, but the large photograph on the front page headline caught his attention.

Upon seeing it, Zhang Ke’s eyes widened, isn’t this Wang Ye...

Out of Wang Ye’s group of "old classmates", aside from Nalan Yaqi and Song Xiaogang, if anyone had the deepest impression of Wang Ye, undoubtedly it had to be Zhang Ke.

After all, a lot had happened between the two of them...

Only after looking up in the dictionary when he got back to the dorm did Zhang Ke manage to barely figure out what was said in the news.

However, after figuring it out, he began to doubt his initial assumption.

Even though he wasn’t particularly concerned with Russian politics, he had heard about what the Duma Council was.

Obviously, there was no way someone with Wang Ye’s status could gain entry...

Zhang Ke sought Wang Dan’s verification, and after being ridiculed by Wang Dan’s sarcastic comments, Zhang Ke still wasn’t giving up.

He had the distinct feeling that he seemed to have stumbled upon a whopping "big secret"!

Zhang Ke even began to wonder if Wang Ye had made a fortune from business and then faked his identity, fooling the Russians and landing a position as a Duma member!

If that were the case, could he perhaps expose Wang Ye to the relevant authorities...

He might even be able to gain merit from it!

Zhang Ke hasn’t forgotten how Wang Ye had previously treated and humiliated him.

But people with heavy pockets like Wang Ye were not to be messed with, and so Zhang Ke "bore the burden of humiliation" and pretended to have forgotten everything...

Now, didn’t he seem to have found an opportunity!

...

On the very afternoon that Wang Dan contacted Wang Ye...

Zhang Ke had just returned from Sheremetyevo Airport, having picked up a Chinese student studying abroad. His car had just stopped in front of the dormitory.

He was still in the car collecting his fare when he suddenly heard a "Bang bang bang" knocking on the car window.

The knocking was loud enough to startle Zhang Ke.

He reflexively cursed, "Damn it! Can you knock a little lighter?! You’re about to break the glass...!"

As he cursed, he turned to look at the source of the noise and immediately shut his mouth upon seeing. He didn’t dare to finish his sentence...
