Reborn in Russia as a Big Shot

21. Entering customs

Li Xiang brought Wuyun Gerile and her daughter Subuda Pavel back to Green Mountain City.

There happens to be no nanny at home.

Aunt Dalia was sitting in the living room watching the World Cup, with a huge pile of snacks in front of her.

Li Xiang cooked a pot of instant noodles and brought it over to watch the game with Dalia.

"Natasha is still pregnant, and you're already bringing people home. I can't control you, but when my brother comes out and sees you bullying his daughter like this, you'll regret it."

Dalia glanced at Li Xiang's crotch, chuckled, and continued, "Now that you're part of our family, my brother can't kill you, but since you and Natasha already have a child, that thing in your crotch is pretty much useless now."

"I'll give you a minor surgery to help you settle down, so you can focus on being a good father."

Li Xiang almost choked while eating noodles.

"You're the one who said I treat you like a servant, so here I've brought two back. If you don't like them, just kick them out."

"How could I dare? I'm living under someone else's roof right now."

Li Xiang has already transferred the payment to Dalia for the house. Although he has received the money, the transaction price of villas in the surrounding area has increased by 45% in the past six months. No matter how he thinks about it, he feels like he has lost money.

"You'll just keep eating all the time. You can't stop talking as soon as you watch a game. You'll gain at least twenty pounds after this World Cup," Li Xiang teased Dalia as he grabbed his instant noodles and ran off.

To be fair, Dalia is pretty good in every way except for her quirky taste and somewhat rural aesthetic.

Li Xiang didn't mind her lack of respect for elders.

knocking.

"Enter."

Uyungerile pushed open the door and stood there looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Just say what you need to say, don't waste my time," Li Xiang urged.

"I want to send my daughter abroad, anywhere is fine, as long as she can leave the CIS."

Uyungerile's relationship request is to "protect his daughter," while Subuda's request is to "find her father."

Li Xiang was willing to lend a hand to Wuyun Gerile and her daughter.

Deep involvement?

Pavel's death was indeed related to Li Xiang, but Li Xiang did not feel guilty.

If you're worried about getting into trouble, gamble less. Pavel himself sat at the gambling table; life and death are in the hands of fate, and wealth and honor are determined by heaven.

"Do you have money?" Li Xiang closed his laptop and looked at Wuyun Gerile.

"You should send her abroad first. She can work and earn money to pay you back once she's overseas," Uyungerile sighed. "I originally wanted to send her back to Menggu, but she didn't want to."

"I can send your daughter abroad. If she doesn't want to go to Mongok, how about Iljima? We can get her a business management visa, with permanent residency in three years and citizenship in five. I can also arrange for her to go to South Korea."

"If you want to travel further afield, there are many options such as the five Caribbean countries, Australia, and New Zealand."

Li Xiang abruptly changed the subject, a smile appearing on his lips—well… a lewd grin.

"But everything has to be about equal exchange. If I help you, shouldn't you help me in return?"

"What do you want me to do?" Uyungerile asked nervously.

Li Xiang asked slowly, "Do you know who your husband is connected to at the St. Petersburg customs?"

"I know, I know a lot more." Uyungerile breathed a sigh of relief, her face beaming with joy, and continued, "My husband has dirt on that man."

"If you're willing to send me and my daughter abroad, I'll tell you everything I know."

"It's not just customs; my husband also has connections in the police station."

Li Xiang held up two fingers and emphasized, "Only one of the two people can leave. It's not very useful for me to hold one person back, but you can't raise the price halfway through the negotiation."

Uyungerile decisively said, "Give it to my daughter."

"Deal." Li Xiang's lips curled slightly. "Tell me, what do you know?"

seaside.

Li Xiang made an appointment with Volkov, the senior customs inspector who had previously ripped off his jersey.

Volkov glanced at the empty fishing chair next to Li Xiang but did not sit down.

"I don't like fishing."

Li Xiang said casually, "I think you'll like it in the future."

"What do you want? The shipment got stuck again? I haven't heard anything about it. Which group did it? This time it has nothing to do with me." Volkov said with a hint of schadenfreude.

"I heard you got promoted," Li Xiang said deliberately.

A bucket of cold water was poured over his head. Volkov sat down, crossed his legs, and said, "What promotion? Your information is inaccurate. This time, it's not me who gets promoted."

"I even prepared a gift for you, but it seems it was all for nothing."

"If you're going to bribe me, then bribe me. Why give me a gift?" Volkov glanced at Li Xiang, got up to leave, and said, "You're really materialistic. I can't afford your gift."

Li Xiang said, "It's in the bag, but I don't dare look, it's too much for my eyes."

"What is it?" Volkov's curiosity was piqued. The bag was full of fishing gear, but one envelope looked different. He took it out and asked, "Is it this?"

Li Xiang didn't say anything.

Volkov's jaw dropped when he opened it. "I've met the wife of the third section chief before, she's quite pretty. Who is this fat woman? Her taste is too heavy, how could she eat that?"

Volkov gossiped, "Is he being kept by a rich woman? Even if this kind of gossip gets out, it'll just make him a laughing stock and won't do him any good."

Li Xiang revealed the answer: "That fat woman is your deputy customs chief's wife."

"Really? You're not kidding me, are you?" Volkov couldn't suppress the urge to smile.

This is a royal flush.

Men are all the same; if they don't like something and don't use it, they won't let others use it either, and even if they use it in private, they can't say it out loud.

"You've given me such a big scoop; I'm afraid I can't repay this favor."

"These photos don't prove anything. They only show that the two of them had an ambiguous relationship and went to Dacha together. I also have photos of the house inside, which are even more shocking. They left me with psychological trauma."

Li Xiang turned to Volkov and asked, "Do you want it?"

Russian women can gain weight rapidly, and it can happen in just a few years for a hot beauty to turn into a broad-shouldered, thick-waisted woman.

"I can only do you a favor within the scope of my authority. If you really want to smuggle something, I can't help you with that," Volkov stammered. "If I dared, I wouldn't be in this situation, unable to even afford to give gifts to my superiors."

Li Xiang said sincerely, "I don't need you to do anything for me, I just want to make friends."

Volkov struggled for a long time, knowing it was useless, but still gave a heads-up.

"Anyway, I've made myself clear to you. I'll definitely help you if I can, and there's nothing I can do if I can't."

Li Xiang didn't respond, but smiled and said, "That's fishing gear I gave you. I told you you'd like fishing."

"Are there many fish here?" Volkov leaned over to look at Li Xiang's fish bucket and couldn't help but laugh. "Your equipment is pretty good, but you haven't caught a single one."

Li Xiang stubbornly insisted, "The enjoyment of fishing is in the process."

After meeting with Volkov, Li Xiang went to the market, bought a sea bass, put it in his fishing bucket, and took it home. As soon as he drove to his doorstep, several uninvited guests came to greet him.

If guests come to your house, the one who will keep them out is definitely Aunt Dalia.

"Mr. Li, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

The leader was a beautiful woman, and among the crowd next to her was a familiar face—Sasha the monkey.

Before the person even got close, Li Xiang had already scanned the other person.

Galina | 22 years old | Occupation: Bar owner | Clothing store owner | Loan shark | Underground broker

[Key Information: Half-sister of Tambov Gang leader Vladimir Kumarin | Sells counterfeit alcohol | Sells fake clothing | An ally of Sasha]

[Core Anxiety: Desire to Gain Family Approval]

"Do we know each other?" Li Xiang greeted him with a smile.

"Now that we've met, hello. I'm Galina, and I also run a clothing business. I've often heard Pavel mention you before, and I've been wanting to visit you for a while now."

Galina quickly stepped forward, and without shaking hands, gave Li Xiang a hug.

It feels warm against the skin.
