Chapter 80

"Editor-in-Chief, I have found the final destination of these grains. You will never know where the grains are sent..." Zoe and Jimmy hid in tens of thousands of containers and contacted the editor-in-chief of the New York Times by satellite phone . At this moment they were standing on Soviet territory, surrounded by Russians.

Zoe and Jimmy are both excited and scared now. The excitement is that they broke through a terrifying conspiracy, but the fear is that they are trapped in the port of the Soviet Union at this moment, and they don't know how to get out.

"Don't be foolish, Zooey, tell me, where is the food going? Is it a warring area? I really can't guess Zoe!" the editor-in-chief said anxiously on the other end of the phone. Impatient to know the answer.

"I'm in the Soviet Union now, but I don't know exactly where in the Soviet Union. But I'm sure this should be near the Black Sea?" Zoe no longer kept secrets, she announced the answer excitedly, not at all for herself Worrying about being in the enemy camp.

"God, I can't believe it, how could it be the Soviet Union, I thought it was somewhere in China? Damn, you guys find a way to get out of there as soon as possible, and I will give you the best position on the front page !"

"Thank you, editor-in-chief! But I don't know how to get out of here now! There are Soviets everywhere here, and we are worried that they will be caught as spies!" Zooey remembered that she and Jimmy were in danger . She began to ask the editor-in-chief for help.

"Stay there, and I will contact the Turkish ships to pick you up. Don't rush in. Don't try to ask the locals for help. Listen carefully, although places like the pier are the territory of the Soviet Union, he allows sailors from various countries You can move freely here, as long as you don’t enter the customs, you are safe! There should be a place to live, you should settle down first, don’t reveal your identity, and wait for my news...” The editor-in-chief immediately came up with a countermeasure, He knew very well that as long as Zoe did not enter the customs border of the Soviet Union, she would not be arrested as a spy. Customs border and national border are completely two concepts. For countries with ports, most of the external ports are free, and seamen from all countries in the world can live and stay here. This is the same as the international airport, as long as you don't pass through customs, you don't count as entry.

After talking with the editor-in-chief on the phone, Zooey and Jimmy finally calmed down a bit. They put away their cameras and other items, which contained photos of grain unloaded from the cargo ship. These were important evidence, and Jimmy and Zoe had to protect them desperately.

The editor-in-chief is right, there are indeed accommodations for seafarers here. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Jimmy came forward and booked a double room in the sailor's house in Turkish. Then they had a good meal in the restaurant and immediately went back to the room.

As soon as they entered their own room, the hearts of the two people who were still in shock finally calmed down a little. The layout of the room was quite different from the hotels Zoe lived in in the United States.

A portrait of General Secretary Gorbachev hangs on the wall, while a bust of Lenin sits on the desk. These things are rare in the United States, and Zooey feels novel about them.

"Come and see, what a good thing this is! Vodka!" Zooey excitedly took out a bottle of vodka from the wine cabinet under the TV, and held it in her arms excitedly. Over the years, Zoe has traveled all over the world for her own career, living a life of no fixed place. Alcohol is her good medicine for releasing stress and relieving fatigue. Zoe's drinking capacity may be better than hers even among men.

"Hey! Zoe, don't get carried away, we are in the Soviet Union now, be careful that you get drunk and the KGB finds you and arrests you!" Jimmy persuaded, but unconsciously moved over.

Zoe took out two glasses, poured two glasses full, then handed them to Jimmy, and said excitedly: "I propose, for our Pulitzer Prize, drink this cup!"

The thought of the Pulitzer Prize made the two even more excited, and soon they were frank again under the stimulation of alcohol. Although they are in the enemy's land, Jimmy and Zoe are quite excited. After the battle was over, the two fell asleep and slept until noon the next day.

Over the next few days, Zoe began working on a follow-up to her column. The food aid case involved a wide range of interest groups, from the US Department of Agriculture, the National Farmers Association, and the Friends of Africa Foundation, to the long sea transportation line, and finally involved the Italian Mafia and the Turkish Mafia. Then the life-saving food of these East African people was miraculously transported to the Soviet Union.

Zoe's articles are well-organized and fascinating, but the most important thing is that Zoe's articles are never mixed with personal emotions. She just stated the ins and outs of the whole thing calmly and objectively.

The life of staying at home these few days allowed Zoe to devote herself to writing, and Zoe repeatedly polished several of her articles. She felt like she had never been in such a state before. In the past few days, apart from being in charge of having sex with Zoe, Jimmy also supplemented her with a lot of materials about the Turkish Mafia.

When you focus on one thing, time always passes very fast. A week later, the ship that the editor-in-chief of the New York Times contacted for them finally found the place where Zoe and the others stayed, the port city of Odessa in the Russian Socialist Republic of the Soviet Union.

After receiving the notice, Zoe and Jimmy immediately packed up their things and went to the pier, and left this dangerous place on the cargo ship that was specially sent to pick them up. They were lucky that they hadn't had much trouble these days.

Three days later, the cargo ship finally returned to Istanbul. Jimmy and Zoe separated temporarily, and Jimmy was going back to the Associated Press to deal with some work matters, while Zoe sent her manuscript and collected photos to the New York Times. Then Zoe flew to the United States on a business jet specially booked for her by the New York Times.

On the way to the United States, Zoe still knew how much trouble the report would cause. But he still wanted to witness the power of his words with his own eyes.

Although Zooey was prepared in her heart, he still underestimated the seriousness of this matter. She would never have thought that this matter would cause great waves in the political and business circles of the United States, and Zooey never expected that she would compete Then a catastrophe would ensue.
