Chapter 3609: Tracking

When the airport staff again notified Wu Bochong to board the plane, he stood up, clasped his hands to Wu Bolin and Wu Bowen, and said: "Two senior brothers, I'll go ahead; we'll meet again in a year!"

Wu Bowen said with a smile: "Junior brother, wishing you a victorious start!"

Wu Bolin also politely said: "Junior brother, wishing you a victorious start!"

Wu Bochong laughed heartily: "Thank you, two senior brothers, and I also wish you senior brothers to obtain heavenly opportunities and achieve your wishes as soon as possible!"

After saying that, he turned around and followed the staff out of the VIP lounge.

Seeing him leave, Wu Bowen said to Wu Bolin: "Senior brother, how long do you plan to stay this time in Antarctica? Where will you go next?"

Wu Bolin casually replied: "No particular plan, just take it step by step."

Wu Bowen laughed: "Let me say this—you shouldn't bother going to Antarctica; just come with me to the United States. Back when the Guangxu Emperor ascended the throne, people already said America was lavish and decadent, a paradise on earth. Now with such a good opportunity, why not go there and experience it? Besides, the Lord of Ying let us find opportunities on our own, and didn't say we must bring something back to report. What do you think?"

Wu Bolin shook his head, laughing: "I don't like crowds and noise, so I won't go looking for that discomfort."

Seeing him refuse, Wu Bowen didn't insist further, just politely said: "Then I wish you, Senior Brother, some gains in Antarctica."

Coincidentally, at this moment, airport staff approached him and politely said: "Mr. Wu, your flight to New York is now ready for boarding."

Wu Bowen nodded, bade farewell to Wu Bolin, and followed the staff to board.

At this time, Ye Chen's Ilya Muromets was still sailing through the Devil's Westerlies.

Li Yalin sent him a WeChat message: "One of the three senior elders has already boarded the plane bound for Rio de Janeiro. I checked his ticket information—his final destination is Kathmandu, Nepal."

Ye Chen asked in surprise: "Are these three people going their separate ways?"

"It seems so." Li Yalin said: "So far, only one person has boarded."

Shortly after, Li Yalin sent another message: "Mr. Ye, the second person has also set off to board the plane. It seems all three have different destinations."

Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief instantly.

He was most worried that these three would go to the same place—if all three were heading to Huaxia, he feared he would have to immediately demand the captain turn the ship back and then rush back to Huaxia as fast as possible.

Now that the three are going their separate ways, it proves Wu Feiyan didn't intend for them to make any major moves.

Soon, Li Yalin figured out the second person's flight details and said: "Mr. Ye, the second person is going to New York."

Ye Chen felt a bit puzzled, unable to understand why these two destinations were chosen, but fortunately his relatives aren't in either city, so he could almost certainly conclude these two aren't targeting him.

Thus, he asked Li Yalin: "Inspector Li, have you figured out the third person's destination yet?"

"Not yet." Li Yalin said: "He's still waiting in the VIP lounge. We've kept the free drink dispenser in the VIP waiting area locked on him, but we haven't yet found his flight information."

Ye Chen instructed him: "Then keep a close watch on him, and tell me immediately if anything happens."

"Understood, Mr. Ye."

Wu Bolin of the airport, after waiting alone for forty minutes, finally received the boarding notification.

Li Yalin immediately found out which flight he was on and promptly informed Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, the third person has gone to Ushuaia, a southern city in Argentina."

"Ushuaia?"

Ye Chen was instantly puzzled, wondering in his heart: Why would this third elder come to Ushuaia?

Could he be tracking me?

Ye Chen thought carefully and felt it unlikely—if the Po Qing Hui had really found my trail, they would certainly know I brought Lin Wan'er, Yun Ruge, and Song Ruyu, so many important targets. How could Po Qing Hui possibly send only one elder? It would certainly require all three to come together to ensure absolute safety.

Therefore, since we've ruled out the possibility that they're coming for me, the only remaining possibility is that he has another purpose in Ushuaia.

Ye Chen isn't afraid of him going to Ushuaia—as long as his destination isn't Antarctica, everything is fine. Even if he also wants to come to Antarctica, I theoretically don't need to worry too much, because Antarctica is truly vast, and the chance of running into someone there is extremely small.

So, he instructed Li Yalin to continue tracking these three people's subsequent movements, and to inform him immediately of any new developments.

Ten minutes later, Wu Bolin boarded an Airbus A320.

This plane's first class had only eight seats. After Wu Bolin sat down, several Argentine passengers boarded one after another. A few minutes later, a young man of Chinese appearance sat in the empty seat beside him. After sitting down, the young man respectfully said to him: "Elder Wu, I am sent by Wu Zongguan to accompany you to Ushuaia. This season makes going to Antarctica difficult, and he worries you're unfamiliar with the place and language, which might affect your journey."

Wu Bolin wasn't surprised by this—Wu Tianlin always acts steadily and thoroughly. I really don't know any foreign language, and it's not the Antarctic season now, so finding my way alone would be difficult. Having an assistant would save me a lot of trouble.

So he asked the young man: "Are you from the Zuo Jun Du Du Fu?"

"Yes." The young man replied honestly: "I am Wu Siyuan, serving as a Zhishi in the Zuo Jun Du Du Fu, mainly responsible for all liaison work in Buenos Aires."

Wu Bolin nodded: "Oh, you're also from the Wu family. I ask you—does the Zuo Jun Du Du Fu have any troops stationed in Ushuaia?"

"No." Wu Siyuan explained: "Ushuaia is geographically remote, with a small population and underdeveloped economy, so the Zuo Jun Du Du Fu has not established a garrison there."

Wu Bolin asked: "Isn't this a necessary route to Antarctica? Doesn't the Zuo Jun Du Du Fu have any layout in Antarctica?"

"Antarctica..." Wu Siyuan said awkwardly: "Antarctica is a special place—it doesn't belong to any country, just happens to be closer to Argentina. Many countries have signed the Antarctic Treaty, allowing only national-level scientific projects and professional polar expeditions, and they have very strict requirements for personnel entering and leaving. Besides scientific personnel from various countries, only commercial tour groups can go there. Added to the strict management, it's very difficult for us to reasonably set up any layout there, so we hardly have any involvement in Antarctica."

Wu Bolin nodded satisfiedly— to him, the fewer people in Antarctica, the better the sign. This proves most of Antarctica hasn't been touched by modern humanity, so his chances of finding opportunities are much greater.

So he asked Wu Siyuan: "How can I most conveniently enter the Antarctic continent now?"

Wu Siyuan said: "The only way now is to take a research vessel, but research vessels are strictly managed—forcibly boarding would definitely attract attention. So Wu Zongguan's suggestion to me is: first, I should find out the situation and departure time of the research vessel, then in advance rent a boat to take you out to sea. When the research vessel approaches, you can try to board it from the sea—this would be the safest way."
