Chapter 420: The American police are busy as dogs, while the two of them are on a leisurely vacation
The two found a French restaurant near the museum and ordered the most expensive set meal, which included French snails and foie gras. These were must-try dishes. Seeing the foreigners in the movies eat so elegantly, they also wanted to try some foreign meat.
After the waiter came over, Luo Xinxin deliberately complained, "What bad luck! I wanted to see and appreciate world-famous paintings, but ended up encountering terrorists and nearly lost my life."
"Fortunately, we were safe. Our country is safe. It's too unsafe here." Li Rong comforted her.
"Yeah, in our country, you can go out in the middle of the night and nothing will happen. But here, terrorists attacked in broad daylight, and in a museum. It's terrifying!"
Luo Xinxin patted her chest with lingering fear and drank the whole glass of water.
They spoke in a mixture of English and Japanese. The waiter could only barely understand what they were saying and couldn't help asking, "Sir, Madam, what's going on in the museum?"
He was planning to take a break tomorrow and take his wife and children to visit the museum.
"The museum was attacked by terrorists. We just came out of the museum twenty minutes ago and almost died inside!"
Luo Xinxin spoke in English this time, and Li Rong added, "My husband and I are here on our honeymoon. We originally planned to have a good time for a month, but we didn't expect the security here to be so bad. We're planning to go to other countries."
The waiter was stunned. When he came to his senses, he immediately canceled his plan to visit the museum tomorrow. In case the terrorists had not been caught yet, it was better to be cautious!
He said a few words of comfort and learned that the two were newlyweds from the Land of Sakura. After Luo Xinxin ordered the dishes, he took the menu to the kitchen and immediately shared the museum attack with his colleagues.
"God, those people are crazy!"
"Of course they can't catch them. The police only catch prostitutes and thieves!"
"You're flattering them. I lost my wallet last month, and I still haven't found it!"
…
In less than ten minutes, the entire restaurant knew that the museum had been attacked and that Luo Xinxin and Li Rong had just escaped. Several guests came over to ask what the terrorists had done.
Luo Xinxin was very enthusiastic and answered every question. "Those people threw tear gas. We couldn't even open our eyes. It was like we were blind. Fortunately, we were lucky enough to escape!"
"I don't know how many people there were, but it was definitely more than one or two. Tear gas was thrown all over the museum, and it turned into a giant chemical plant. I couldn't see, and I couldn't make a sound. It was so terrifying. I thought my husband and I wouldn't be able to escape and would be killed by those people. Thank God, we finally escaped!"
Luo Xinxin made the sign of the cross on her chest with a particularly pious expression, but in her heart she was saying, "Don't be offended, Bodhisattva. I'm just acting on the spot. In my heart, God is definitely not as important as you!"
She is a firm believer in Bodhisattva. She doesn't care which one in particular. She will believe in whichever Bodhisattva is effective.
Everyone listened with great interest. This was much more interesting than any police and gangster shootout movie. Some brave ones even skipped their meals and ran to the museum to watch the excitement.
After Luo Xinxin and her friends finished their meal, the news spread quickly. The diners and the restaurant staff spread the word, and within just one night, many people knew that a newlywed couple from the Sakura Country who came here for their honeymoon had such bad luck that they encountered terrorists on their way to the museum.
Fortunately, the couple escaped, so it seems that their luck was not too bad.
The next day, the local TV station reported the news of the museum attack, but did not mention the theft of famous paintings. It only reported the theft of Chinese cultural relics. The person in charge of the museum was a bald old man. He offered a huge reward on TV, the reward amount was as high as one million US dollars, and begged people across the country to help find the robbers.
"Only one million, how stingy!"
Luo Xinxin spat out the pomegranate seeds and said with disgust.
Li Rong was peeling a pomegranate for her. He gently peeled off the plump, bright red pomegranate seeds and placed them on a white jade plate. They looked like beautiful agate seeds and were very beautiful.
Luo Xinxin grabbed a handful and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing it with a crunch. The pomegranate was delicious, but there were too many seeds. It was a bit irritating to swallow, but it was too troublesome to spit it out, as it was just broken pieces.
"It's a pity that I can't earn this million!"
Luo Xinxin felt a little regretful. One million US dollars was not too little for her.
"It's not that I can't earn it. I can earn it when I leave."
Li Rong peeled the pomegranate gently and spoke slowly.
Luo Xinxin's eyes lit up, and she had an idea. She whispered a few words into Li Rong's ear. Li Rong scooped a spoonful of pomegranate and fed it to her, praising her: "You have such a smart brain, you really need to eat some pomegranate to nourish yourself!"
"You are not bad either. Our marriage is a strong union."
Luo Xinxin raised the corner of her mouth proudly, and also considerately fed Li Rong a spoonful of pomegranate. The couple was very affectionate and happy in the hotel.
The local police station was almost worried to death. The cultural relics stolen from the museum were worth hundreds of millions of US dollars, which was more than enough to buy the lives of everyone in their police station.
A strict order was issued from above, and the local police station kept the lights on for several nights in a row, working overtime to search for the suspect. Police were also sent to shops, restaurants, and even schools near the museum to inquire. However, after several days of such high-profile efforts, they still found nothing.
On the day the incident at the museum took place, the Chinese restaurant owner and his wife heard from guests that over a hundred Chinese cultural relics had been stolen. They couldn't help but curse: "Those thieves are quite knowledgeable and know how valuable Chinese cultural relics are!"
It’s a pity that I don’t know which country these cultural relics will end up in. Alas!
A few days later, the couple heard the guests mention the incident again, but this time the guests were talking about Luo Xinxin and his wife.
"You don't know as much as I do. On the day of the attack, I was dining at a French restaurant near the museum. There was a newlywed couple from Sakura Country who had just escaped from the museum. They described the situation firsthand. It wasn't just one or two people, but a gang that committed the crime. They used tear gas, and they were well-trained. They were definitely not ordinary thieves..."
The guest was describing the matter vividly. The proprietress happened to pass by and when she heard about the newlyweds from Sakura Country, her eyebrows twitched. The images that popped up in her mind were none other than Luo Xinxin and his wife.
Could it be them?
"This couple is so unlucky. They only have one honeymoon in their lifetime, but they encountered such a terrible thing!"
"But I'm lucky, at least I escaped safely!"
"Fortunately, those people still had some conscience and only took things without hurting anyone!"
…
The guests were discussing enthusiastically, mentioning Luo Xinxin and his wife many times and describing their appearance.
"The woman is very beautiful, but there are indeed many beautiful women in Sakura Country. Her husband is not only short, but also ugly. The two of them are not a good match at all."
"If a man has money, money can make him at least 20 centimeters taller and make him more handsome!"
"No matter which country they are from, women are all equally vain and only care about money!" a man said sourly.
"If you don't look at the money, do you look at your short men's brothers?"
A female guest retorted, and the other guests burst into laughter.
At night, the proprietress and her husband were lying in bed, and she expressed her suspicions, "Is their purpose in coming here just to take back those cultural relics? It would be great if that were true."
