Departing at zero o'clock, the flight lasted nearly twelve hours, and it was only six o'clock in the morning when we landed in Frankfurt for transfer.
After waiting for five hours, I finally boarded the plane to Rome.
But this time they were not traveling with the middle-aged woman. They were going to transfer to a direct flight to Milan.
…
"Mr. Lu! Miss Lin!"
Outside the airport, Tony came up to him with a smile on his face and gave Lu Zheng a big hug.
"Thank you for the hospitality!" Lu Zheng's sensitive nose kept twitching, and then he held his breath decisively, and then he felt a little more comfortable.
"I didn't expect you to come to Rome." Lu Zheng said.
"You are my savior, how can I sit at home and wait for you to come to your door?" Tony laughed and took a step back, "I booked a hotel, do you want to take a nap first? After all, a twenty-hour flight can take a long time. It’s not easy.”
"It's up to you..." Lu Zheng glanced at the four men in black suits following Tony, and then at the passengers walking around them, "But we booked first class, so we're not tired."
Tony understood Lu Zheng's eyes, but still shrugged and said with a wry smile, "Companies like ours that have certain black connections basically have this configuration, and there are many such configurations. They are very common, but they come from all over the world. The tourists are definitely not used to it.”
common?
Lu Zheng and Lin Wan looked at each other. Although it is common for rich people to have bodyguards, it is not that common, right?
Europe and the United States are indeed different from China...
Fortunately, these four bodyguards were very powerful and did not have guns under their clothes. Otherwise, Lu Zheng would really have doubted how much of what Tony said at that time was true or false.
In addition, Lu Zheng had already seen several Chinese people looking at him with eyes full of wonder and admiration, and they were all ready to take out their mobile phones.
"Okay, let's go first." Lu Zheng said helplessly.
He didn't want himself and Lin Wan to appear on a short video platform with a title like a gangster inspecting his younger brother.
"This way, please!" Tony said with a smile, and then two men in black stepped forward to block the sight of the onlookers.
Two other men in black came forward and took the suitcases from Lu Zheng and Lin Wan's hands, and then they came to the side of an extended Maserati on the roadside.
Anthony, Tony's butler, was already waiting by the car. When he saw a few people approaching, he turned around and opened the car door, bowed and stretched out his hand, "Please!"
“What a luxury!”
Lu Zheng got in the car and patted the mahogany armrest next to the leather seat.
"This is the car provided by the hotel." Tony said with a smile.
"What would you two like to drink?" Anthony had already opened the wine cabinet in the car and looked at Lu Zheng and Lin Wan.
Tony turned back and said, "These are the hotel's standard offerings. When I return to Sicily tomorrow, I will give you a taste of my private wine."
"Whatever, we don't understand this either," Lu Zheng said to Anthony.
So Anthony poured low-alcohol champagne for Lu Zheng and the others, because he remembered that when they had a barbecue in Haicheng, they drank low-alcohol fruit beer.
Lu Zheng glanced at Anthony and nodded secretly, thinking that he was indeed a professional butler, much more professional than Li Bo.
…
When they arrived at the hotel, they put down their luggage first, and then they went to the hotel restaurant to have dinner.
"Lu, how have you arranged your itinerary these days?" Tony asked, "Have you arranged any itineraries to other countries?"
On the phone before, Lu Zheng only told Tony about their flight, and also said that they would stay on Tony's private island for two days, but did not mention the rest of the itinerary.
because……
Lu Zheng shook his head and said, "No arrangements. It depends on the situation. If you feel comfortable, just play for a few more days. If you feel bored, just change places. Anyway, there are many flights to Europe, which is convenient."
Lu Zheng and Lin Wan just travel freely, and it doesn't matter where they go. If they really want to continue, they might come back during the Spring Festival holiday.
Hearing Lu Zheng's words, Tony showed a reserved smile, "Then you might be able to spend seven days on my private island."
"Is it so interesting?"
Tony raised his eyebrows, very proudly, "My private island is located in the Tyrrhenian Sea, northwest of Sicily, about a hundred nautical miles away from the main island.
There is an antique castle and a manor on the island, with all modern facilities. In addition to tennis courts and golf courses, the island also has a horse farm and a shooting range.
In addition, you can also dive and travel on a yacht. If you want to take a gamble, there is a helicopter on the island that can fly to the cruise ships cruising in the Mediterranean at any time.”
Lu Zheng, "..."
Lin Wan, "..."
"You rich people are really good at playing." Lu Zheng said dryly.
In modern times, he can already pretend to be a god. He feels that he is already enjoying it, and he never thought of doing this to himself.
In his view, life would be complete if he lived on a large flat, drove a big luxury car, could eat whatever he wanted, and go play wherever he wanted.
So, it is indeed poverty that limits human imagination...
Lu Zheng said that he still has a lot to learn.
Tony smiled slightly, "So, even if I live on the island for a lifetime, I won't necessarily feel bored. If I had to choose a burial place, I would choose my private island."
…
After lunch, Tony took Lu Zheng and the two of them to drive to the famous Pantheon and the ancient Roman Arena in Rome.
Next to Rome is the Vatican.
Tony asked Lu Zheng if he wanted to visit, but Lu Zheng was not interested, so they did not visit this famous country within a country.
…
Early the next morning, everyone arrived at the dock in the western suburbs of Rome, got on Tony's private yacht, and sailed into the sea.
Then Lu Zheng and Lin Wan saw what a luxurious private yacht is.
Compared with Tony's luxury yacht, all the so-called luxury yachts in the movie are civilian models.
Sixty-six meters long, equipped with five suites, the yacht is equipped with a cinema, swimming pool, gym, billiards room, spa, massage room, etc.
Lu Zheng asked about the price and got the answer of US$200 million.
The yacht was just an appetizer. After arriving at Tony's private island, he enthusiastically took Lu Zheng and the two to visit his castle and his private estate.
Horse riding, shooting, diving, surfing...
For two full days, Tony was very enthusiastic, and Lu Zheng and Lin Wan had a great time.
Moreover, the service staff on the island were too enthusiastic, and the smiles on their faces were so enthusiastic that Lu Zheng felt a little fake. However, thinking that it might be because of their boss, Lu Zheng didn't care.
…
"Thank you for the hospitality. Let's take us back to Rome tomorrow." Lu Zheng said.
"Oh?" Tony looked up, "Are you leaving tomorrow?"
Lu Zheng nodded, "I've experienced everything that needs to be experienced, and it's almost time to play. It's time to go."
At this time, Lu Zheng and Lin Wan were sitting side by side, separated from Tony by a five-meter-long table, with flowers and candlesticks placed in the middle, which was very ceremonial.
In addition to the waiters, there were eight bodyguards in black surrounding the restaurant, guarding the restaurant with expressionless faces.
It has been like this for the past two days, and Lu Zheng and Lin Wan are used to it.
Tony smiled and said, "I thought you would play for a few more days."
Lin Wan replied, "My vacation is limited after all. I still want to visit Milan and go to San Siro to watch a football match."
Tony nodded, picked up the napkin at hand, wiped his mouth, waved, and then several waiters left the restaurant.
"Lu, you saved my life." Tony said first.
"You are so polite. You have thanked me several times." Lu Zheng waved his hand and didn't care.
"So I will take you to enjoy a service that you would never have enjoyed," Tony said, "as a reward for saving your life."
"Huh?" Lu Zheng's eyes flashed and he put down the knife and fork in his hand.
This statement sounded wrong, and Lin Wan couldn't help but frown. She subconsciously looked at the eight bodyguards around her, but found that they were motionless.
Is it just a sense of superiority?
"Originally, I wanted you to enjoy the full five days, but since you are leaving, it means you have enjoyed enough."
Tony put down the napkin and said matter-of-factly, "So, you should be able to die without regrets, right?"
