Chapter 1681 Poverty Limits Imagination

The group of people who came to the bar did not come to cause trouble for Xiao Peng and the others but went directly towards Feodorovna.

Fabian laughed and said, "I feel like a discarded gigolo has come to my door! But they are quite capable and can still come up!"

The Radisson Royal Hotel Moscow has two bars, one on the third floor and one on the rooftop. The third-floor bar is open to almost all guests, while the rooftop bar isn't accessible to just anyone. This group of people clearly aren't staying in the luxury rooms, so their presence here clearly shows they're quite powerful.

Xiao Peng didn't care about those people after hearing this. He said directly, "Alright, you have so many things on your mind. What does their business have to do with us? Let's get down to business. Desarev, tell me where the fun place is."

Desarev thought for a moment and said, "If we're going, we shouldn't go with so many people."

Xiao Peng said, "Then the three of us can just go together!"

"Huh?" Desarev was stunned. "Just the three of us?"

Xiao Peng said: "Yes, is there any problem? The place we are going to is very dangerous?"

"Of course it's not dangerous!" Desarev said, "But we have to ensure your safety. We'd better let Smolov and the others come with us. Even if they don't go in, they must protect your safety in secret."

Xiao Peng asked, "How many beauties are there?"

Desaryev laughed and said, "That's how ordinary Russians entertain themselves. It's not as highbrow as here. But I can guarantee that there are indeed many beautiful women there, and the wine is delicious!"

Fabian curled his lips and said, "What beautiful women? Why do they say there are so many beautiful women in nightclubs? When a man drinks too much, even a sow looks pretty."

Several people were very happy after hearing this.

At this time, there was no conflict on Feodorovna's side as Fabian had expected. The young man who led the group walked up to Feodorovna and asked directly, "Mom, what happened?"

It turned out that the visitor was not the 'abandoned pretty boy' as Fabian thought, but Feodorovna's son.

"Alex! Why are you here just now?" Fyodorovna glared at him. "Your mother has been bullied!"

The young man named Yelix looked at the four pretty boys around Feodorovna and said, "Mom, don't you have four little puppies with you? If they can't even protect you, how dare you take my money? I give you money because I hope you can make my mother happy. If you can't even do that...believe it or not, I will drown you in the toilet."

The four pretty boys turned even paler with fright.

At this time, Feodorovna said: "Alex, this has nothing to do with them, it's them... Stop them, don't let them run away!"

After hearing this, Alex turned around and saw Xiao Peng and a few others huddled together, studying something.

"You guys, bring them here!" he said to his men.

But Feodorovna said, "Alex, some of them have guns! Pistols!"

"Huh?" Alex frowned and said, "What are they doing? Never mind, just go over and take a look! Comparing guns? We have more guns here!"

At this time, Xiao Peng and the other three were huddling together and discussing in a low voice.

"Mr. Xiao, do you usually carry so much money with you when you go out?" Sadyev asked with his eyes wide open.

Xiao Peng said helplessly, "If we were in our country, we wouldn't need to bring money. I'm too lazy to apply for a credit card here, so I still have to bring more cash."

Sadyev said, "Mr. Xiao, your big paper clip is very beautiful! This is a good way to store cash."

Xiao Peng's cash was held together with a large paper clip. Upon hearing Sadyev's words, Xiao Peng took out another large golden paper clip and handed it to Sadyev, saying, "Here, I'll give you one."

Sadyev smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xiao. I can't accept gifts that are too expensive, but this cheap gift is fine."

Fabian laughed and said, "A cheap gift? Sadyev, can you see if there's anything written on that paper clip?"

Sadyev looked down carefully. "Tiffany? The Tiffany for luxury jewelry? They also sell paper clips?"

Fabian nodded and said, "Yes, a paper clip like this costs about 130,000 rubles. As for its function, it is used to hold money."

"How much?" Sadyev jumped up after hearing this.

His income was considered quite good here. After all, he was an instructor in the Federal Security Service. How much did he make a month? 130,000 rubles! So, after working so hard for a month, he could only buy a paper clip?

Moscow's average monthly income ranks among the top three in Russia. The highest is in the Chukotka Autonomous Region in the Arctic, where it's just over 100,000 rupees. St. Petersburg is next, at around 96,000 rupees. And Moscow's is 95,000. The average monthly income in Russia is only 46,000! How many people spend that much on a paper clip?

It's so poor that it's beyond imagination.

He was at a loss as to what to do with the paper clip.

Ahem, in fact, Russian police are quite corrupt.

Foreign tourists traveling in Russia are basically told by experienced people: keep your passport with you when you go out, as foreign tourists are often stopped by the police on the street to check their passports.

This "passport check" also has differences: the person being checked can easily pass through by giving some money or a pack of cigarettes, but if he doesn't have any, he may be taken back to the police station and checked for two or three hours.

But Desaryev isn't a cop, he's not that evil! And wouldn't it be better if you gave me 130,000 rubles? You gave me a paper clip worth 130,000 rubles... He felt that if he went out and said that this paper clip was worth 130,000 rubles, people would think he was crazy!

Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Alright, don't think too much about it. Just think of it as a money clip. Let's go..."

Before he could finish his words, several people suddenly walked up to them and stood beside them: "You guys, come with us!"

Xiao Peng was stunned: "Go with you? Who are you?"

"Don't worry about who we are!" one of the burly men said coldly, "If you don't want to get into trouble, just shut up and follow us!"

Desarev was about to speak when he felt something hard pressing against his back.

The burly man said contemptuously, "I didn't know you had a gun! We have more guns."

Xiao Peng scratched his head. "When I said 'Who are you?' I meant who do you think you are? You asked me to go with you, so I'll go with you? Are you dreaming?"

Desarev also said: "What did you say just now? You said you have more guns? Did I hear correctly?"

The strong man was no longer able to speak: a gun was pointed directly at the back of his head!
