Chapter 1530 You Need to See a Doctor
There is an advantage to living far away, which is that when someone comes to see you, you have enough time to prepare.
When William and others arrived at the 'Observatory', Xiao Peng was lying on the bed, looking at the starry sky with a look of despair on his face.
Van der Laupe said apologetically, "King William, my boss has been in a bad mood these past few days. He's always been like this. Boss, King William and the Yangzhou ambassador are here to visit you."
After hearing this, Xiao Peng struggled to sit up from the bed. "William, Ambassador of Yangzhou, you're here? Mayor Hook? You're here too? I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself. Please sit wherever you want. Van der Laupe, hurry up and make some coffee."
Seeing Xiao Peng about to get up, Yangzhou hurriedly stopped him: "Xiao Peng, you should rest well and don't get up. You look too bad! Why are your eyes so red?"
William was also shocked when he saw Xiao Peng. He originally thought Xiao Peng was faking illness again: the way he handled this matter was Xiao Peng's usual "flavor". However, seeing Xiao Peng's red eyes and haggard appearance, he began to be unsure of his thoughts: "Xiao, you are in such a serious condition, aren't you? You need to see a doctor!"
What Xiao Peng thought in his heart after hearing this was: I asked you to play games for several days in a row and you would do the same!
Of course, he couldn't say that.
He got up from the bed and sat aside, saying, "Don't worry. I can't sleep at night just thinking about what happened. I can't understand why they treated me like this!"
After hearing this, Yangzhou sighed, "This is what 'the greatest sorrow is a dead heart' means!"
Xiao Peng took out a cigarette and offered it to Yangzhou and the others. They waved their hands to decline. Xiao Peng lit one himself and took a puff. "Ambassador Yangzhou, I've thought a lot about what happened. You say we're considered 'strong and powerful' here, right? You say I'm considered a celebrity in the Netherlands, right? And yet something like this could happen. I really can't imagine the living conditions of those international students and overseas Chinese studying in the Netherlands. King William, Mayor Hook, your Netherlands is known for 'tolerance,' 'equality,' and 'freedom.' Why did something like this happen? I just can't figure it out. These past few days, every time I close my eyes, I have nightmares. Sigh, I want to go home. At least home can guarantee my safety."
"Puff!" William sprayed first, damn...
Come again?
Last time you left me, I gave you Orange Garden. What do you want me to do this time? I'll give you the Dutch Royal Palace!
Being friends with you is really too expensive! No matter how much wealth I have, I can't afford such a hassle.
Mayor Hook hurriedly said, "Mr. Xiao, this is something none of us want to see happen. I swear to God, it won't happen again. This is my fault too. Alas, I originally asked Orange Garden for help with the disaster relief, but I happened to be away from Delft that day, which is why this happened."
After hearing this, Xiao Peng asked curiously: "By the way, I heard Walter say that you basically go to the scene every time food is distributed. Why weren't you there that day?"
He didn't know how to complain about Hook. This guy was so cunning. During this disaster relief effort, he'd been running to Walter's place every day to help distribute free food. People who didn't know would think it was all his doing, even though Walter said he always explained it to people: "It's Xiao Peng's good deed." But whenever he was there, people would think: "Such a good deed must be related to Hook."
This is a typical Dutch way of being stingy and still gaining a good reputation - typical Dutch!
Hook smiled bitterly, "Not yet Del."
"Hmm?" Xiao Peng was very sensitive when he heard the name 'Del'. "What's wrong with Del? Nothing will happen to his wedding soon, right?"
Hooker said, "The relevant Dutch authorities have organized a scientific expedition team to conduct archaeological research at the location of the two Barents shipwrecks. Anna, as one of the discoverers of the two ships, will participate in this expedition, and Del will also be accompanying them!"
"Aren't they getting married soon?" Xiao Peng was stunned.
Hook explained, "This inspection will take at most a month and won't interfere with their wedding. The wedding company will take care of the preparations. I was in Amsterdam to see them off that day, so I wasn't in Delft."
Xiao Peng nodded in sudden realization when he heard this. Suddenly, he came to his senses and said, "That's not right! Doesn't Del have severe allergies and can't go out to sea?"
Hook was stunned for a moment, then laughed awkwardly, "Oh, that's right. He's already feeling much better after the desensitization treatment, and he's also been using a lot of adrenaline to deal with allergies during this trip! He missed such a great opportunity last time, and he definitely doesn't want to miss it again this time!"
Xiao Peng's face showed a complicated expression after hearing this.
What Hook said seemed to make perfect sense, but I'm not well-educated, so don't lie to me! Could his allergy be cured in such a short time with desensitization? And he dared to risk his life at sea just by injecting adrenaline?
There must have been something wrong with Del's allergy last time! Was he faking it? That's unlikely, after all, those symptoms can't be faked.
Holy shit, didn't this guy inflict these symptoms on himself by taking poison or injecting drugs? Just so he wouldn't go on that voyage to create a chance for himself and his fiancée?
This is super perverted!
Wait, why did Hook help his son lie? Did he know the truth?
This is terrifying when you think about it!
Although he thought so in his heart, he couldn't say it out loud. He took a deep breath and said sincerely, "Del and Anna are truly a model couple with both talent and beauty. They are devoting themselves to the Netherlands before their wedding. This is admirable behavior! Mayor Hook, you should be proud to have such a son and daughter-in-law."
Hook laughed and said, "I thought so too!"
Xiao Peng didn't know how to respond.
Hook continued, "Of course, this inspection won't delay their wedding, but now they are still arguing about you - they both want to invite you to their bachelorette party. You promised to attend their wedding."
Xiao Peng nodded and said, "Of course. I originally planned to do nothing and just wait to attend their wedding when I came back this time, but now the situation seems to be getting worse, so I decided to go out and relax. Vincent happened to invite me to attend their WWE show in the United States, so I'm going to watch a show there and then come back. It won't delay Del and Anna's wedding. They are all my 'friends', and their wedding is my top priority in the near future."
William heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. Fortunately, he didn't make a fuss about leaving. But he had to go to the United States and attend Hook's son's wedding. Would that waste a lot of time?
He was still anxious to ask Xiao Peng to help find the black ship, but that matter would be discussed later. What he was concerned about now was: "Xiao, Ambassador Yang is here now. Should we first discuss how to resolve the current situation?"
