Chapter 1069 Returning Home
A month later, a convoy of cars entered the Eikenhorst Villa in The Hague, Netherlands. After the iron gate of the villa opened, the convoys entered the yard one after another, and a group of people in the yard stood there and applauded when they saw the convoy coming in.
A dark-skinned man wearing sunglasses got out of the car. Seeing this, he waved his hand and said, "Alright! Stop clapping! You heartless people, I've been missing for so long and you didn't even bother looking for me!"
Who else could it be if it wasn't Xiao Peng who was speaking? He had finally returned to civilization.
He still couldn't win over the Derridas, so they found the "Island of Eternal Love of Derridas" and wasted a lot of time on the island.
He had originally thought the couple would just have a few days of fun there, but they'd actually been there for quite a while. What surprised Xiao Peng was that Mr. Derrida had been diagnosed with stomach cancer during his trip and had surgery at Daxia. And yet, he was still having so much fun? Was he really risking his life?
After Xiao Peng expressed his confusion, Mrs. Derrida's answer left him speechless: "Stomach cancer? That's not cancer. In the eyes of us doctors, only cancers that cannot be cured are called cancers. Cancers like stomach cancer and uterine cancer are not serious diseases as long as they are discovered early."
Well, the world through the eyes of a doctor is indeed different from the world through the eyes of ordinary people like us.
But this is also why Xiao Peng agreed to play with them. How great is the fate that the old couple could save him in such a place? Mr. Derrida had stomach cancer and had surgery, but he still loved to eat his own cooking. How could this not satisfy his wish?
Of course, even when they arrived at the 'Island of Eternal Love of the Derridas', Xiao Peng did not go ashore except to help them get ingredients and cook. He would rather stay on the boat - he had really had enough of staying on the island!
After the old couple had enough fun, they arrived in Argentina. The old couple wanted to continue their journey, but Xiao Peng was eager to go home, so he boarded a plane directly to the Netherlands: he encountered a problem here. His documents, money and other things were lost, and he had to seek help from the embassy to get to the Netherlands.
Before boarding the plane, he called Walter and others, so Walter and others knew that Xiao Peng was coming back, and went to Rotterdam Airport to pick him up.
After hearing Xiao Peng's complaints, Fabian's eyes widened. "Can you blame us for this? When you left Namibia, you directly removed the ship's AIS and said you didn't want anyone to know your whereabouts. How could we possibly know if you were out on business or missing?"
Pascal gave Xiao Peng a big hug. "Alright, you're back. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried about you. We've actually been in contact with all the ports over there. We'd know the moment your ship docked, but there's no record of you docking."
Fabian continued, "So we suspect you went to one of those small docks. After all, there are basically many small docks like this along the African coast. That's why Kasin and Hua Chong went to the African coast to investigate your whereabouts. They are still in Africa now. After we learned about you, we called them to come back. They should still be on their way."
Pascal snorted coldly, "Don't give us any trouble in the future, okay? Tell us where you're going!"
At this time, someone next to them spoke: "Is this love?"
Xiao Peng's face was filled with black lines. He turned around and was about to curse, but when he looked at the person he really couldn't curse: it was King William of the Netherlands.
He slept with someone else's daughter and now he's living in a villa given to him and he's scolding him? This is really not good.
Xiao Peng coughed twice. "Where are you going? I don't want to go anywhere. I just want to lie in bed every day and have everything provided for me! William, why are you here?"
"This is my country!" William said. "Of course I came to see you when I heard you were back. You've been missing for too long, haven't you? Since you don't want to go anywhere, why don't you just stay in the Netherlands forever? Be a true Dutchman!"
Xiao Peng shook his head like a rattle. "William, just give up on this idea. I live here? There's not even an airport! I can't even use a helicopter to come back! I'm ashamed you've lived here for so long!"
His complaints are not without reason. Although the Dutch central government, the king's residence, and all government agencies and foreign embassies are in The Hague, transportation here is really inconvenient. There is no airport here. The nearest airport is Rotterdam Airport, which is more than 100 kilometers away from The Hague.
Xiao Peng wanted to take a helicopter back. After all, the Eikenhorst Villa had such a large lawn that a plane could easily land. But it didn't work.
There are two reasons: the first is that it would disturb the public, and the second is that the helicopter might cause damage to Villa Eikenhorst. Therefore, helicopters are prohibited from landing here.
The Netherlands has very strict regulations on the protection of historical buildings, and Villa Eikenhorst is unfortunately a historical building, so any behavior that could cause damage is prohibited. Even William has no idea how to do this.
William left Villa Eikenhorst and moved into Huis Ten Bosch with his family. When Huis Ten Bosch was being renovated, William proposed to install solar panels in the palace to take an environmentally friendly approach, but his proposal was directly rejected. Even the king and queen wanted to install solar equipment in the greenhouse in the palace, but were rejected and the plan was ultimately abandoned.
This villa looks incredibly luxurious, but living here is far less comfortable than I imagined! The Hague is close to the sea, so the summers are incredibly humid. While the winter temperatures aren't terribly low, the sea breeze is incredibly strong, blowing right through the walls. So how do you keep warm here?
fireplace!
Because it is a protected building, even air conditioning cannot be installed!
So Xiao Peng really didn't like this house from the bottom of his heart. It looked luxurious from the outside, but what was it like living inside? Only those who lived there would know!
Fabian put his arm around Xiao Peng's shoulders and said, "Alright, stop standing here and talking. Let's go back. We've done a lot of great things while you were missing. Well... you're in trouble!"
"What do you mean?" Xiao Peng was stunned after hearing this.
William then said, "You are almost becoming the public enemy of Europe. If the EU splits, it will be largely because of you!"
"WHAT?" Xiao Peng's eyes widened. "William, this is too much for me! What does a commoner like me have to do with the division of Europe?"
William said, "Let's go in and talk, but be prepared. A lot of things really happened while you were away."
Xiao Peng had originally planned to follow them into the villa, but when he heard William's words, Xiao Peng stopped and turned to walk out.
"Xiao, where are you going?" Fabian hurriedly grabbed him.
Xiao Peng blinked. "I want to go back to that island where 'the Derridas' stood as witness to their 43-year loving marriage!' It's a little harder there, but it's not as troublesome."
Everyone's face was filled with black lines "..."
