Chapter 130 Why is there no almanac here?

The thing Xiao Peng regretted most was that he listened to Fabian and the others and was sent to the hospital. The doctors here were so nice that Xiao Peng even felt embarrassed.

In the end, Xiao Peng had to stay in the hospital overnight for observation. Although the doctors there were slow, they were exceptionally meticulous. The woman he had rescued the previous day woke up at the hospital, and after an examination, he was able to leave the hospital after finding nothing serious. He himself remained in the hospital.

When Xiao Peng was discharged from the hospital the next morning, he was dumbfounded: since he did not have an Italian medical card, Italian health insurance, and did not reside in Italy, his treatment was not free.

He spent the night in the hospital, with several doctors taking turns seeing him. There was no nurse to accompany him. When he finally checked the bill, it was 21,000 euros! That's about 165,000 yuan! There was also a note in small print: This amount isn't the final amount; if it's insufficient, the hospital reserves the right to charge additional fees.

Xiao Peng was stunned when he got the bill. 21,000 euros? This is how much I paid for a month at the C2 Hotel. And I spent one night here with you, no injections or medication, with several monitors strapped to my body, and it cost over 20,000 euros? What the hell are you doing?

160,000 a night! I heard the presidential suite at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Shanghai costs 160,000 a night, but that's 788 square meters! What's this here? A tiny hospital room of just over a dozen square meters!

No wonder the woman who was rescued last night was discharged from the hospital. It turns out that the woman was free but he charged a fee!

At that moment, Xiao Peng really wanted to drag those people in China who complained about the high medical costs here to see what would happen if they went to the hospital without insurance!

A couple in China once fell while cycling in China and was rushed to the hospital. Instead of expressing gratitude, they resented the 1,400 RMB bill for treatment. They railed against Chinese healthcare online for years, constantly promoting free healthcare in the United States. Later, the couple was involved in a cycling accident in the United States and incurred over a million US dollars in medical bills. From then on, they never complained about that 1,400 RMB.

The more ignorant they are, the more fun they have!

Xiao Peng was feeling happy yesterday because he was doing good deeds, but after receiving the hospital bill today, he felt like killing someone!

Well, consider it the price of finding that sixgill shark.

"I'm not going back until I find the Pescara! I've lost so much money coming here!" Xiao Peng and the other two walked to the parking lot. "Fabian, did you load the ham I bought in the car?"

Fabian said, "It's loaded. Hey brother, I paid for this. Why are you so angry? Can't we just play here for a few more days?"

Pascal said, "I can't play anymore. Someone from AXA Insurance called me!"

Fabian's eyes lit up after hearing this: "People from AXA Insurance are here? Doesn't this mean..."

Pascal smiled faintly and said, "The results are in. AXA Insurance contacted me to clarify one thing: the identity of the jewelry is now basically undisputed. It's Mata Hari's legacy!"

After saying that, he extended his hand to Xiao Peng, and the two of them high-fived.

Xiao Peng asked, "Xiao Pa, how are you going to handle this?"

Pascal said, "Fabian keeps hyping things up, but the heat isn't high enough!"

Xiao Peng nodded and said, "Fabian, it's up to you!"

Fabian opened the car door and asked curiously, "Pascal, what about your father?"

Pascal shrugged: "Whatever happens, it has nothing to do with me."

Fabian laughed after hearing this: "Come on, I'll drive and you book the tickets!"

As soon as the three people left the hospital, several cars arrived at the hospital. There were both men and women getting off the cars, and some were carrying cameras and other things. They were all media people.

Messina is such a small place after all, and everything that happens is known very quickly.

Last night, someone fell into the sea and someone jumped into the sea to save him. How could such a heroic act not be reported? After they learned about it, they rushed to the hospital early this morning.

It was almost nine o'clock, but it was really early for them! But they came to nothing.

But these reporters weren't pushovers. They checked the license plate number of Xiao Peng and his crew's car and learned it belonged to a car rental company in Palermo. After contacting the company, they learned the car wasn't rented long and would likely be returned soon. So, they headed straight to Palermo to intercept Xiao Peng and his crew!

Unfortunately: they ran to the wrong position again!

Xiao Peng and his friends had indeed planned to go to Palermo, but they were stopped as soon as they left the hospital.

The one who stopped them was none other than the woman Xiao Peng had saved yesterday. He hadn't even looked at her closely yesterday, and it was Fabian who recognized her.

The woman introduced herself as Bellucci and insisted on inviting Xiao Peng and the others to her house to thank them for saving her life.

Xiao Peng and others could not refuse and had to agree.

Then the three of them were collectively dumbfounded.

Bellucci's family is not in Messina, but in a small mountain village in Cortanissetta.

Where is Cortanissetta? It's almost in the middle of Sicily, with Messina, Palermo, and Cortanissetta forming a triangle. They'd taken a long detour.

Xiao Peng seriously suspected that Bellucci wanted them to send her home!

But it's all in the south anyway, so it's a good idea to walk an extra 100 kilometers and take some photos of Palermo along the way as a souvenir.

Xiao Peng asked Bellucci what happened yesterday, but Bellucci hesitated and refused to say.

They didn't bother to ask any further questions, and after a three-hour drive, they arrived at Bellucci's home.

Bellucci's home is not in Cortanissetta, but in a valley to the north, surrounded by citrus orchards. Bellucci manages all of this herself, and raising pigs and orchards is her life's work.

Bellucci said she lived on her own, but as soon as Xiao Peng arrived at her orchard, he found two cars parked there.

Fabian and Xiao Peng looked at each other, their eyes full of alertness. This didn't look like they lived alone!

Xiao Peng was about to ask Bellucci what was going on, but Bellucci was horrified when he saw it: "Back up! Back up!"

"What's going on?" Fabian asked after stopping the car.

But before he could reverse, a car came from behind and blocked their way.

Xiao Peng kept his eyes on Bellucci. He wanted to know if Bellucci was an accomplice of these people, but the fear on Bellucci's face did not seem to be disguised.

I didn’t check the almanac before going out and got into trouble again!

Oh, this is Greece, and there is no such thing as an 'almanac'.

After the car stopped, six people came out and surrounded their car, signaling the people in the car to get out.

Xiao Peng got out of the car and was about to speak when Bellucci blocked his way. She shouted at a Mediterranean man smoking a cigarette, "Cesar! What the hell do you want to do? Whatever you want to do, come at me. This has nothing to do with these people!"

As a result, the bald man raised his hand and slapped Bellucci in the face without any hesitation after hearing what Bellucci said. The slap was so heavy that it knocked Bellucci to the ground.

Xiao Peng was a little dumbfounded when he saw this:

Holy shit, this guy is even more arrogant than me! He just attacks without a word!

People like you won't appear as villains in TV dramas.

The reason is 'no bullshit'!
