Chapter 346 Caught
Xiao Peng held the phone and said, "Walter, don't worry about me, I'm fine! No, no, no, don't come to see me. Don't run around in such heavy rain. Take the mother and daughter to buy some clothes and ask Pascal to help her with the exit procedures and labor registration. Let's meet at the hotel and talk."
He and Walter got separated.
What just happened was very similar to the scene in the movie "Resident Evil" where zombies chased living people. Xiao Peng was chased for several streets by a group of old men. One of them said he was from the former Soviet Navy, and the other said he was a fisherman with decades of experience. Anyway, they all wanted to get on Xiao Peng's boat.
Xiao Peng felt like he was going crazy.
It's not that he's cold-blooded and doesn't want to help these elderly people; he's just an ordinary person. You expect Xiao Peng, an ordinary citizen, to solve social problems that even a country can't? That's unrealistic! And with so many wealthy oligarchs in Ukraine, it's not his turn to promote internationalism.
Ukraine is the poorest country in Europe, and its social problems can't be solved by just one or two wealthy people. He's just a vulgar person, with half-hearted good and half-hearted bad, and he's causing himself so much trouble? He's sick!
Xiao Peng decided to drag Walter away quickly.
The divorce rate in Ukraine is also very high, close to 50%. There are countless single mothers here. Can he help each one he sees? Walter can't help them all!
Facts have proved that whether men or women, they still have to rely on themselves.
Ukraine and Japan share similarities in this regard: many women become full-time housewives after marriage, and when divorced, they become mad and helpless. Furthermore, domestic violence is widespread in Ukraine. According to data from the Ukrainian Ministry of Social Policy, one in five families experience domestic violence.
The saying that a poor couple has many worries is universally applicable.
But Xiao Peng didn't have time to care about these things. He was more concerned about how to get back to the hotel.
There was a subway station nearby, so Xiao Peng went straight to the subway station.
As the capital of Ukraine, Kyiv has only three subway lines, all of which go to Independence Square.
The subway wasn't crowded, probably because it was expensive. Xiao Peng, feeling unwell from the rain, fell asleep as soon as he got on the train.
He was woken up by someone, an old Ukrainian lady, who pointed at him and then at the subway door, saying something inaudible.
Xiao Peng thought she was reminding him to arrive at his destination, but he discovered that his backpack was missing!
Damn, someone stole my bag! A man in a black jacket was running there, carrying my bag.
What do you call this? The eagle got its eye pecked out by the eagle!
Xiao Peng jumped out of the subway before the door closed and chased after him.
The public security in Ukraine, especially in Kiev, is actually quite good when there are no protests, but there are still quite a lot of petty thieves and hooligans.
Xiao Peng had just fallen asleep with the bag in his arms, and he didn't expect it to be stolen. This made him depressed.
His running in the subway also attracted the attention of the subway staff. The police did not stop the thief but stopped him and took him to the subway police station. Fortunately, Xiao Peng had his passport and other things on him. After explaining for a long time, the police finally let him go, but his bag was stolen!
It's filled with lots of snacks!
Spicy strips, drunkard peanuts, White Rabbit milk candy, Want Want senbei... Oh my god! They were all stolen!
Not to mention how expensive his bag is, just the snacks he eats are really not cheap!
Food is cheap in Ukraine, but everything else is expensive. A pair of Chinese travel shoes can easily cost more than 2,000 hryvnia (500 RMB) here, and imported snacks are even more so. A bottle of Lao Gan Ma costs 100 hryvnia, so you can imagine how much other things cost.
The most important thing is: although his cell phone is on him, the satellite phone is in his bag! What if he hopes to use it to contact the ship?
Xiao Peng was also filled with anger when he saw these Ukrainian policemen! The attitudes of the policemen he encountered were not friendly at all!
There's a saying that the vast majority of Ukrainian people are good people, with the exception of customs officials and the police. Xiao Peng encountered this "exception."
The police here dared to beat up a national treasure-level designer in the street, let alone Xiao Peng? It was clearly because of them that Xiao Peng didn't catch the thief, but now they are blaming Xiao Peng, saying that Xiao Peng increased their workload!
Xiao Peng didn't understand what they were saying to each other, but he knew with his heels that they were not saying anything nice.
Just then the phone rang.
"Boss, where are you? Why haven't you come back yet? Miss Olga and her father have prepared a dinner and invite you to dinner." Walter asked.
Xiao Peng shrugged: "I'm in the police station. I don't even know where this is."
"What's going on? What happened?" Walter asked anxiously after hearing this.
Xiao Peng said, "It's hard to explain. Can you send someone to pick me up? I'll see what this place is called. Oh, I got it. 'National Chernobyl Museum' Subway Station Police Station."
Walter said: “Boss, please wait a moment, it’s very close to here, I’ll pick you up now!”
While he was talking here, a policeman pushed him and pointed to the door, indicating that Xiao Peng should go out and make a phone call and not stay in the police station.
Xiao Peng frowned: "Come quickly, I'm afraid I won't be able to control my temper and tear down this police station!"
"Xiao, don't be impulsive!" Olga's voice came from the other end of the line: "Give the phone to the police at the police station, we'll be there right away!"
Xiao Peng handed the phone to the officer who had pushed him. The officer was confused, but took the phone anyway. After a few words, the officer's face turned pale with fear. After the call ended, the officer's attitude completely changed. He poured Xiao Peng coffee and invited him to sit down.
Not long after, voices were heard at the door and a group of people walked into the police station.
The first person walking in was an elderly white man in a gray suit. He spotted Xiao Peng the moment he entered and smiled at him. "Mr. Xiao, I never imagined our first meeting would be under these circumstances. Thank you for your help with my daughter in France. I'm Olga's father, Vladimir Lomachenko."
Xiao Peng shook hands with him and said, "I just did what I was supposed to do. Olga mentioned you to me, saying you knew a little Chinese, but I never thought you spoke it so well."
Lomachenko smiled and said, "I've been learning Chinese on my own for the past two years. The future center of the world is in China. Mr. Xiao, I've prepared a dinner for you. Shall we go over now?"
"Wait a minute!" Xiao Peng turned on the recording on his phone: "Mr. Lomachenko, please help me translate what this means! I think I heard some unhappy words here just now!"
