Chapter 1175 Meeting an Old Subordinate
Xiao Peng sat in the passenger seat, smoking a cigarette with a depressed look on his face. Walter, who was driving, asked in confusion: "Boss, I rarely see you so angry. What's going on?"
Because Xiao Peng lost his temper and left William to go to Belgium alone, Walter volunteered to drive for Xiao Peng. Seeing that Xiao Peng was silent along the way, he started to ask him some questions.
Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "Nothing. I just think that at least we should respect life. Forget it, let's not talk about it. It's annoying when we talk about it. Where are we now?"
Walter said, "We've arrived in Belgium and entered the Flemish region of Limburg. There's a gas station up ahead. Shall we go take a break?"
Xiao Peng nodded and said, "Okay, I refuse to drive while tired."
Belgium is divided into three regions. Flemish is the northern region connected to the Netherlands, which is further divided into five provinces. However, don't be fooled by the size of Belgium. The entire country is not even as big as Hainan Island.
"What do you mean by fatigue driving? It's only been a few hours." Walter said, "Boss, I'm not tired, I'm just worried that you'll get tired from sitting!"
Xiao Peng waved his hand and said, "Don't work too hard, Khedira is still in a wheelchair!"
Walter said: "He is actually much better. Putting him in a wheelchair now is both taking care of him and punishing Bruch!"
"Ah?" Xiao Peng was stunned.
Walter curled his lips and said, “How can it be so easy to let him go? Let him be a nanny honestly first!”
"Alright, alright!" Xiao Peng said, "Don't be so petty. He's injured too, isn't he? Besides, didn't he give all the bonus I gave him to you as compensation for his actions back then?"
"Does he think that money can solve the harm he has done to us?" Walter said angrily.
Xiao Peng laughed and said, "It hurts you, doesn't it? I heard from your wife that you've always treated him as your younger brother."
Walter remained silent after hearing this.
Xiao Peng said, "I don't care how you handle your relationship, but don't make it dull. I still like the feeling of us being happy together!"
Walter hurriedly said: "Don't worry, boss, I like the feeling of our big family. I feel like everyone around me is like a relative."
Xiao Peng shook his head like a rattle after hearing this. "Don't ever say 'family'. Based on my experience, eight out of ten people who call their colleagues 'family' are scammers."
Walter was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Boss, you're amazing! My wife used to work in direct sales. They called us 'dear ones' over there, but in the end, she lost 60,000 after a year! My God, 40,000 was a very high number for us back then! I can only earn this much in a year if I work hard."
Xiao Peng laughed heartily. "Don't blame your wife for this. In fact, I was also fooled when I first arrived in France... Your wife isn't the only one who's eager to make quick money. That's why I get scared when I hear the term 'relatives'! Walter, why do I feel like you've been here before? The road looks so familiar?"
Walter laughed. "Boss, you're right. I've been here many times. Up ahead is the Hoge Kempen National Park, which has the best forest cycling trails in the world."
"Riding in the woods?" Xiao Peng was puzzled.
Walter explained, "Limburg was the first region in the world to create a dedicated network of bicycle trails specifically for cycling enthusiasts. They've built a circular cycling trail in the Hoge Kempen National Park. You can think of it as a ten-meter-high viaduct in the forest, protected by barbed wire on both sides. It's for bicycles only, and you can ride both on and under it, getting up close and personal with the forest. There's also a 'wasteland cycling' project, which uses a bridge structure to connect the national park directly to the marl caves in Kannen, allowing for underground cycling. Cycling here is a truly enjoyable experience. If we're not pressed for time, we can rent a few bikes and go experience it."
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "I'm also very interested in what you said, but we can just go and experience it later. We are really full of wounded soldiers now!"
Walter smiled and said, "Okay, we're almost there. We'll reach the gas station after crossing this forest road. Further ahead is the national park gate. We'll go in for a ride later. Boss, believe me, riding there is a real pleasure!"
Xiao Peng nodded and said, "I believe you! I'm looking forward to it too! Let's go and relax while it's not raining!"
After listening to Walter's introduction, Xiao Peng was also full of expectations. The feeling of riding a bicycle on a high bridge in the forest and in the treetops was very cool.
But God seemed to like playing jokes on Xiao Peng. As the saying goes, "the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment." When Xiao Peng and his companions arrived at the gas station that Walter mentioned, his trip to Hoggenstein National Park was ruined.
The reason why his expectations were dashed was not the weather, but...
"Holy crap!" Xiao Peng was shocked when he saw that the car hadn't stopped at the gas station yet. "What's going on?"
Walter was also a little dumbfounded. There were at least twenty soldiers at the gas station, all armed with guns. When they saw Xiao Peng and his car, they waved to them and asked them to pull over.
Xiao Peng and his companions parked the car at a gas station, and a soldier wearing sunglasses signaled them to get out.
"Boss, don't get out of the car!" Walter said to Xiao Peng, "I'll go down and take a look. It seems something happened. An inspection of this scale should not be a trivial matter."
He opened the car door and got out without waiting for Xiao Peng to answer: "What's going on?"
The soldier wearing sunglasses was stunned when he saw Walter: "Sir?"
"Uh?" Walter was stunned.
The soldier wearing sunglasses quickly took off his glasses: "Sir, it's me!"
"Kate? Why are you here? Why are you wearing a Belgian military uniform?" Walter exclaimed when he saw him take off his sunglasses.
Kate saluted Walter and said, "I originally have dual Belgian and German citizenship. After retiring from Germany, I moved to Belgium and joined the Belgian Ministry of Defense as the leader of an operations team. I now have the rank of major."
Walter returned Kate's greeting and said, "Okay, you've made some progress... Bruch! Look who this is?"
Bruch also got out of the car at this time and was stunned when he saw it: "Kate Fenemaren? Oh, you're a major now, you're doing pretty well!"
Kate scratched her head and smiled sheepishly: "How can I compare to you guys? You guys are driving Ferraris and Spykers!"
Walter explained: "This is our boss's car! We are bodyguards now!"
He felt a little embarrassed when he said this. After all, he used to be Kate's superior, but now Kate has been promoted to colonel, while he has retired from the army and become a bodyguard.
Compared to 'bodyguard' and 'colonel', it really doesn't sound that good...
