Chapter 1032: Ayguri!
Before long, the leader of these Kazakh border guards, a guy named Akasov, came over.
He had a large pipe in his mouth, took the introduction letter from Situ Yan, glanced at it, and laughed, "This is Mural's handwriting, that old guy. My friendship with him goes back over fifteen years. How's he doing now?"
Situ Yan replied in fluent Kazakh, "He's doing well. Just last night, he mentioned you, Colonel Akasov! He said that for the great Kazakh border, you've been guarding it for many years, making it as impregnable as a fortress. In our Chinese expression, you are like a hero who holds the pass against ten thousand men!"
Akasov laughed heartily, clearly pleased with the compliment. "Beautiful girl, you really know how to talk. How are you related to Murali?"
"Oh! I'm his distant niece. I grew up in the mainland and only recently came to Kuning for business. I've traveled to many countries, and Kazakhstan has always been a country I've longed to visit!" Situ Yan replied with a cheerful flow.
Her heroic spirit, combined with her casual demeanor, made Akasov completely believe her words.
"Forgive my boldness, what is your name…"?
"Ayguri," Situ Yan blurted out.
"Alright, Ayguri, I'm allowing you to enter the country. For Murali's sake, I must give face. However, there's no rush at the moment; my brother recently brought me a bottle of precious red wine from the distant city of Jiangbu'er. Would you mind joining me for a taste?"
Situ Yan hesitated for a moment, her expression unchanged, then replied with a smile, "I'd be honored!"
Jiang Feng and Situ Jingjie were dumbfounded!
This was the first time Jiang Feng watched in astonishment as Situ Yan interacted with Akasov; she engaged in such an enthusiastic conversation without a flaw!
When did she develop such social skills?
Meanwhile, Situ Yan seized a moment to quietly explain to Jiang Feng that last night's late-night activity involved visiting that wealthy businessman named Murali in Kuning City!
This Murali was actually an ethnic Han, who had served in the army in the mainland years ago and was an old comrade-in-arms of Situ Zhenjiang!
After retiring, Murali settled in Kuning City and became rich through business, taking on a Uighur name. He was also an old friend of this Kazakh border patrol Colonel Akasov.
Because of Situ Zhenjiang's relationship, Murali was naturally willing to help Situ Yan, which is why he wrote that introduction letter. Even the sable fur goods on the boat were given to Situ Yan for free by Murali.
In Situ Yan's own proud words, this was called using deception to cleverly enter the country, which was much better than clashing with these border guards and forcibly crossing the border!
Jiang Feng finally understood the purpose of Situ Yan accompanying them, she definitely helped solve unnecessary troubles to the maximum extent.
However, Akasov was clearly a lecher; inviting Situ Yan up for a drink—what good intentions could he have?
Situ Jingjie was similarly worried about Situ Yan.
This old lecher obviously had his eyes set on his sister, and if his sister wasn't careful, she might fall for it!
But Situ Yan seemed completely unbothered; she smiled and followed Akasov towards the watchtower, where Akasov had a private, oversized office.
Before entering the tower, she made a point of smiling and saying to Jiang Feng and Situ Jingjie, "Make sure to watch our goods closely, don't go anywhere, and wait for me to come down!"
Jiang Feng looked even more grim, while Situ Jingjie hesitated to speak!
Watching Situ Yan and Akasov enter the watchtower, the armed soldiers couldn't be bothered to accompany the two of them here and returned to guard the watchtower.
"Xiao Feng, do you think my silly sister, going up there with that old lecher, won't suffer any losses?"
Situ Jingjie couldn't help but ask Jiang Feng.
"She knows her limits."
Jiang Feng replied calmly, "You know her better than I do; she's not that kind of person. Let's wait patiently!"
Even as he said this, Jiang Feng was not entirely confident, and Situ Yan had already been up there with that old wolf for a long time. Who knows what that old wolf might do to Situ Yan!
He clenched his fist secretly, determined that if Akasov dared to force himself, even if it meant flattening the watchtower, he wouldn't spare him!
...
Forty minutes later, Situ Yan, with cheeks blushing, finally emerged from the watchtower, accompanied by Akasov, both laughing and talking.
Jiang Feng and Situ Jingjie immediately stood up, and seeing them laughing together, their expressions became even darker!
Situ Yan, with a half-drunk, half-dreamy look, said to Akasov, "Colonel, thank you so much for your care today. That bottle of red wine was the most flavorful I've ever tasted!"
Akasov also laughed heartily, "Fine wine and a fine lady, good wine should be shared with a beautiful woman. If you come here again, feel free to come to me, and I'll always open the pass for you!"
Situ Yan gave a charming smile, one that was captivating beyond words, and chuckled, "Alright! I'll remember that, Colonel, you can't go back on your word!"
Akasov was even more thrilled and said to Jiang Feng and Situ Jingjie, "Boys, there's a jeep behind you. Today, for Ayguri's sake, I'm giving it to you. It's not easy to bring so much cargo into Kazakhstan; it'll be more convenient with a vehicle!"
Before Jiang Feng and Situ Jingjie could speak, Situ Yan had cheerfully said, "Really? Thank you, Colonel!"
...
The three finally successfully entered Kazakhstan; Situ Jingjie drove the jeep, moving further away from the watchtower behind them, with Jiang Feng and Situ Jingjie both silent in the car.
Now, Situ Yan no longer had that dreamy, charming look from before. Her eyes were clear and calm as she glanced at Jiang Feng and Situ Jingjie, "You two troublemakers, don't think I don't know what you're thinking, but things aren't as you think."
Situ Jingjie tapped on the jeep's steering wheel and said lightly, "I don't think that guy would just give us a car for nothing!"
Situ Yan scoffed disdainfully, "In Kazakhstan, a jeep like this isn't worth much more than a sheep in China. In Akasov's eyes, a ZIPPO lighter is worth more than this car! I just went up for a hard-to-drink bottle of red wine and gave his wife a pair of warm sable boots. What were you thinking?"
Jiang Feng asked skeptically, "That's all there was to it?"
"Nonsense! Do you think I'm that kind of person? Besides letting you... who else have I ever let touch a single finger of mine?"
Situ Yan replied exasperatedly!
Her words made Situ Jingjie burst out laughing. He looked at Jiang Feng with an ambiguous expression, winking suggestively, saying more without words.
Jiang Feng was speechless, but knowing that Situ Yan hadn't been taken advantage of put him at ease. He leaned his head against the side, not bothered to engage further with this self-willed girl.
Situ Yan had initially been slightly annoyed at Jiang Feng's lack of trust and his dirty thoughts but suddenly felt relieved when she realized that his wild imagination was due to concern for her, and she couldn't help but laugh to herself.
This left Jiang Feng even more speechless…
