Chapter 1482: Think about it from another perspective

At that moment, in a building in France, someone exclaimed the same thing as Vincent: "Oh my goodness! Is this Xiao crazy? He actually budgeted 10 million for this trip?"

"Are you sure?" someone exclaimed.

"No, this is the information our people on the Luna just gave us. Minister, what do you think about this matter?"

Sitting at the head of the table was Parli. She thought for a moment and said, "What else did our people say?"

"No special intelligence," her subordinate reported. "We've searched the entire Luna except for the engine room and Xiao Peng's room, and found nothing unusual. While the ship is equipped with ROV equipment, it hasn't shown any signs of working yet. We don't know if there's a towed probe on board."

"François, why haven't any pictures been sent back these days?" asked Parli.

The one called François replied: "Something happened on the ship, and everyone's filming equipment has been temporarily kept."

"What happened?" Parli asked quickly after hearing this.

François said, "Originally, Antoine Parno and Natalia Vodianova of the LV Group were supposed to join the trip on board with their children. However, their youngest son suddenly fell ill and couldn't go, so they gave the opportunity to their sister Delphine. Delphine didn't go on the Luna with her husband, but with her ex-husband, Vallarino Gancia. They didn't board the ship in Paris, but secretly in Le Havre. Before they boarded, Xiao Peng had all the cameras and communication equipment confiscated."

Everyone present was digesting this sentence after hearing it. It seemed that this matter contained a lot of information: The eldest princess of the LV Group and her ex-husband were secretly dating?

A female official nearby broke the silence: "Well, okay, this is the first time I think Delphine is a true French woman. But aren't Delphine and Antoine the biggest contenders for the Louis Vuitton inheritance? They're both members of the Louis Vuitton board of directors, and Delphine is the only female board member."

François said, "Come on, this 'succession dispute' is all media fabrication. Their father has five sons. Delphine and Antoine share the same mother, as do the other three. Now the third son, Alexandre, and the fourth son, Frédéric, have joined the LVMH Group. If there's any competition, it's between the two of them, against Alexandre and Frédéric. They have a great relationship!"

"Tsk tsk, has it even gone so far as to help your sister have an affair?" the female official sighed.

François said, "According to intelligence, Delphine brought her ex-husband Vallarino to see Xiao Peng for business cooperation. Because of the epidemic, her ex-husband's winery seems to have encountered an economic crisis. I need to contact Italy to confirm this."

The female official said after hearing this: "What are you trying to confirm? We're just looking for an excuse to revisit the past. Otherwise, Xiao Peng will confiscate everyone's communication tools?"

François said: "Well, according to the feedback from our intelligence personnel, a farce occurred on the third night after Delphine boarded the ship."

"What farce?" everyone asked curiously.

François said: "On the third day after they boarded the ship, in the middle of the night, Vallarino suddenly made a scene on the ship, saying that Delphine had been kidnapped because she had disappeared and he suspected she had been kidnapped."

"Kidnapping Delphine on the 'Salvage King' ship? He must be drunk?" someone nearby complained.

François said, "Vallarino was indeed drunk, but he was also trying to exploit the situation. Although Xiao Peng only had two bodyguards, I don't need to say much about the fighting power of the entire crew. You already know the information of the people on their ship. They are basically retired soldiers of Daxia. Kidnapping him on his ship? That's basically impossible."

"What then?" the person next to him asked quickly.

François said, "Finally, we found Delphine in Xiao Peng's room, where they were playing video games. Delphine was furious with Vallarino's unreasonable behavior, so she sent him back to her room and continued playing video games with Xiao Peng. Now everyone is a fan of games, and there are girls who want to go to Xiao Peng to play video games almost every night."

The room was stunned for a moment, and everyone laughed. "Playing video games? I know Daxia has a term called 'getting your hair done,' but now there's a new term called 'playing video games'?"

"Looks like I'm going to have a game console in my room from now on."

"You? He's a billionaire. Even if he has a video game console, there will always be girls trying to get into his room!"

The female official frowned slightly after hearing this: "Hey, Marvin, what you said is discriminatory against women!"

"Discrimination against women? No, no, no, I respect women!" Marvin said, "Yilin, let's put ourselves in his shoes. If you had the chance to spend a night with Olivier Martinez, would you miss it? Would you still remember your husband then? Your husband might even be proud of you if he knew! Men and women are the same. Men want to sleep with women, and women want to sleep with men too. Madonna is in her sixties, yet she's surrounded by young men in their twenties. Isn't she living the life every woman dreams of? So what I said just now wasn't discrimination against women, it was just a statement of reality. Everyone needs to put themselves in his shoes. Yilin, with Xiao Peng's current fame and financial resources, if you were on the Luna, wouldn't you find a way to sneak into his room and play video games?"

Just as Yilin was about to speak, Parli, who was sitting at the head of the table, slapped the table and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we are talking about business! This is not your gossip! François, continue with the report."

François said, "According to the Luna's direction of travel, Xiao Peng is indeed following the route we gave him. However, we still can't confirm whether he's working for us or just having fun. After all, we don't know if his ship has a towed sonar system. Furthermore, his trip this time is extremely lavish, with a budget of ten million. This doesn't seem like he's working for us at all!"

Parli shook her head after hearing this. "No, the figure of 10 million actually proves that he is indeed helping us. There must be equipment on his ship that no one else knows about. Until now, no one knows how he found the shipwreck, but one thing is certain, he needs to conceal this matter from others, and now no one will suspect that he is helping us find the shipwreck. Now there is more and more evidence to prove that he really has the idea of changing his nationality! We can't guarantee whether Vincent McMahon has the same idea. In any case, we can't fall behind others. Marvin, solve the Korean ship order as soon as possible! Francois, help me find a new model of game console!"

“Uh…yes!”
