Chapter 213 I like your unusual way of seeing things
"Deborah, can you not be so embarrassing?" After getting off the plane, Xiao Peng couldn't help but start complaining about Deborah.
Although as a Chinese he likes to see foreigners' surprised expressions, the prerequisite is that this surprised foreigner is not his companion.
From the moment she got off the plane, Deborah frantically took photos with her phone, attracting countless glances. Xiao Peng initially thought she was just taking photos out of curiosity, but she ended up snapping away non-stop.
Deborah's eyes widened as she said, "Boss, this airport is so beautiful!"
Xiao Peng spread his hands and said, "I thought it was beautiful at first, but seeing how excited you are, I think it's just so-so. When I left China last time, this airport had just been under construction. I didn't expect to find it here after I came back."
Deborah was stunned when she heard this: "How long did it take to build such a large airport?"
Xiao Peng replied: "Four years!"
Deborah cursed after hearing this: "Damn! If this were in my country, this project wouldn't have been approved in four years!"
Xiao Peng laughed heartily. "This is 'Chinese efficiency'. Let's go! We still need to transfer to the high-speed rail."
"High-speed rail?" Deborah was stunned. "Isn't this your home?"
Xiao Peng shook his head like a rattle. "Where is this? The imperial capital! I'd love to live here, but to be honest, my home is nearly 2,000 kilometers away!"
"How far? Two thousand kilometers?" Bruch was also shocked. "Isn't that the same distance as going from Paris to Marseille and back?"
Xiao Peng patted Bruch on the shoulder and said, "Welcome to a truly great country. Bruch, you know Japan, right? We Chinese call Japan 'Little Japan,' but in fact, Japan is even larger than our motherland, Germany. You can see how big our country is. Including overseas territories and excluding Russia, France is the largest country in Europe, but compared to China, it is only one-fifteenth the size... Do you think two thousand kilometers is far? Then let me tell you, we have a province called Xinjiang. That province is about 1,950 kilometers long from east to west and about 1,550 kilometers long from north to south. That province is the size of two and a half France!"
"Damn it!" Pascal cursed.
Deborah said, "Clementine would be envious if she couldn't come. Boss, to be honest, I had the impression that everyone in China rode bicycles and wore four-pocket jackets. I never thought China was such a modern country."
Xiao Peng waved his hand. "No, no, no. China is huge. Some places are well-developed, while others are less so. Not all places are mega-cities like the imperial capital. My hometown is just a small village, just like La Ciotat, but we don't have an ocean there. It's just a small mountain village. But believe me, it's also very beautiful there. Okay, let's take the high-speed train now. There's a high-speed train station right at the airport. We can sleep on the train and arrive at my house tomorrow morning."
"Aren't we going to hang out here?" Deborah said a little disappointedly. "We have to sleep again? I slept all the way on the plane."
"You can stay here and play." Xiao Peng said, "Or I'll let Bruch play with you here. I'm going home to take a look."
Deborah stuck out her tongue and said, "I'm just saying that. Don't be angry, boss. I'm just shocked because it's my first time in China."
Xiao Peng sighed after hearing this: "Deborah, what are you talking about in China? You haven't even left the airport yet!"
Everyone laughed together.
"Let's go home first," Xiao Peng said. "Let's go exchange some money and then go to the high-speed rail station. Bruch, what are you doing here, craning your neck and looking around like a groundhog?"
Bruch coughed twice and said, "Boss, Boss Walter told me to protect your safety, but I really don't feel that anyone here has any hostility towards you."
Xiao Peng's face was filled with gloom. "Dude, you're overthinking it. This is China. How can there be so many criminals? Besides, if someone wants to follow me in China, they don't even need to send someone to follow me. The tricks you use in Europe won't work in China."
"What do you mean?" Bruch didn't understand what Xiao Peng meant.
Xiao Peng shrugged without explaining, went to look at the landmark map and went to the high-speed rail station.
In China, do you need to follow someone in person to monitor them? Do you really think all that surveillance is just a joke? China's current state of public security is due to its strict rule of law. But even so, China is simply too vast and too populous. Even with such strict law enforcement, there are still over 4,000 civil cases and over 500 criminal cases filed daily!
Of course, don’t be too nervous when you see this number, as it includes nearly half of the traffic cases.
But the remaining numbers are still not low!
Xiao Peng thought about buying a car. Even if the procedures for buying a new car are complicated, buying a used car and transferring ownership will be faster, right?
After all, this could be considered "returning home in glory." He was just an ordinary man. What did Xiang Yu say? "If one does not return to his hometown in wealth and status, it is like walking in brocade at night, where no one will know where he is!" But the thought of driving nearly 2,000 kilometers alone made his scalp tingle. He decided to just take the high-speed train.
A few people went to the high-speed rail station, bought tickets, boarded the train, and continued to sleep in the sleeper berth.
At this moment, in an office building in the capital, a man was sitting in front of a row of computers eating potato chips.
The office door was pushed open and a man in uniform walked in: "Xiao Liu, how is the situation?"
The man eating French fries put them aside and clapped his hands. "Captain Wang, Xiao Peng is definitely going home. He got on the train five minutes ago. So, should we go contact him?"
The man in military uniform shook his head. "Now is not the time. Our job is just to keep an eye on him. The higher-ups are still in a meeting and haven't reached a final conclusion. We just need to do our job well."
Xiao Liu asked in confusion, "Captain Wang, it's not very reliable to just stare at them like this. Can't you just send a few people to follow them?"
"Nonsense!" Captain Wang scolded. "Didn't you read the information? Xiao Peng's four bodyguards are from GSG9, the Oriental Battalion, and the KSK. This Bruch who returned with him was originally from the KSK. After his discharge, he and his friends founded a small private security company. They've been to battlefields in the Middle East and North Africa and are true hands-on fighters. They also have extensive experience in urban and street fighting. What if you follow him and get caught? The latest news from France is that things almost went wrong. We can't provoke him any further now!"
Xiao Liu scratched his head and said, "Isn't this Xiao Peng just a shipwreck salvager? Oh, and he's also a live streamer. I've even seen his live show. How did he suddenly rise to national prominence?"
Captain Wang shook his head and said, "There's definitely something wrong here, but that's not something we need to speculate about. All we need to do is do our job! Keep a close eye on him. If anything goes wrong, I'll hang you from the flagpole!"
"yes!"
