On the evening of January 22, 2000, Paris, France.
Neon lights cover the streets, and the streets are in flames. Although Paris is shrouded in an icy cold wave at the end of January, it does not reduce the original beauty of the city at all. The Arc de Triomphe is majestic and the Eiffel Tower is brilliant. From a distance,
, like gold flowing in the night, both sides of the Seine are colorful and magnificent. As the river flows, the lights on the ships also add to the charm of the city. As a world-famous city of art and romance, in this magnificent
In the dark night, the Louvre, Notre Dame, Place de la Concorde, Champs Elysées, Sacré Coeur, Montmartre... the whole city is like a great work of art.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the city's night has just entered its most gorgeous time. The lobby of the Mencune Hotel in the 2nd district of Paris is brilliant. More than a dozen men and women from the East are chatting in the lobby and waiting for other companions. There are also a few
People have already walked out of the door, pointing on the street and watching the night view of the city, with expressions of great excitement.
Naturally, this was Dongfang Wan and his party who arrived in Paris in the evening. After checking in at the hotel, and after dinner, some of them planned to go out to enjoy the scenery of Paris first. Except for those who were chatting with them in the lobby,
There are two tour guides and four adult Orientals. Except for Lei Qing, who we are already familiar with, these three men and one woman are all unfamiliar faces - these people are all representatives of large companies related to the Sid Group.
The leader is a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, about 26 or 27 years old. There is also a hint of arrogance in his calm temperament. But it is difficult for ordinary people to detect it. At this time, he is talking to several people next to him.
The boys and girls were talking, and Luo Jingwen was among them. When she met the person in front of her, this originally rather arrogant girl seemed to have become a lovable bird, and she could clearly see the meaning of pleasing in her smile.
These people chatted in the hall for a while. Wang Tujia ran down from upstairs, looked around, then walked between Luo Jingwen and others, and whispered: "Hey. Have you seen Gu Jiaming?"
"I didn't see it."
"Oh..." Seeing that Luo Jingwen didn't have any answers, she went to ask other people. Most of the answers she got were similar. Li Song in the crowd gradually looked a little unhappy, and the man who was talking to Luo Jingwen laughed lightly:
"Tujia...are you familiar with that classmate Gu Jiaming?" Although they had only introduced each other once before, and the two of them had not even talked, he clearly remembered the other person's name.
"Ah?" Hearing the man's question, Wang Tujia turned around, "Oh, we are classmates. We asked him to hang out together... How come Mr. Ying also knows him?"
"Oh, I've heard of his name." The man named Ying smiled and patted Lei Qing's shoulder, "Aren't Lei Qing and him love rivals? Moreover, my younger brother also met him when he came to Jianghai last time. He said
Get up... they even made a small bet. My younger brother owes him 100 million..."
"One hundred million..." For a moment, the boys and girls around them stopped talking, showing expressions of disbelief. Luo Jingwen hesitated and said, "Are you kidding me?"
"Haha, of course it's a joke, haha, just kidding..."
"I don't like that kid..." Lei Qing muttered beside him and rolled his eyes.
Amid everyone's laughter, they were probably a little suspicious as to why Lei Qing and Gu Jiaming were love rivals, but most of them didn't feel comfortable asking. After all, Jiaming came with them. There was too much talk about this kind of thing. If we talk about it later
Jiaming went shopping with them, and everyone was inevitably embarrassed. After a few words, Dongfang Wan's figure ran down the stairs. She frowned and said in a loud voice: "Hey, have any of you seen Gu Jiaming?
"
After getting a negative answer, Dongfang Wan walked over a little depressed. She didn't know whether this depression was because she saw Lei Qing or couldn't find Jiaming. Then she said hello to the man with glasses: "Hi, Zi Lan.
Brother, do you have enough cars?"
"The car provided by the Sid Group is definitely enough for about twenty people now." The man with gold-rimmed glasses is naturally Ying Zifeng's brother Ying Zilan. As the successor of the Ying family, he has been a member of the Ying family since he was eighteen years old.
He began to take over the family business. In recent years, he has been praised as a genius in the domestic business community. Within Yanhuang Awakening, he was the first person to determine his successor status. The Ying family of Chaohai Group, known as the king of the southeast, is actually more powerful than the Ying family.
The Sid Group is not inferior to the others, but behind the Sid Group is the Rothschild family and Natalie Annes. Naturally, he came here to express the importance he attaches to this cooperative relationship.
"In that case, give me a car to drive."
"You don't have a French driver's license, and you don't know the road. It's different here than in China..."
"I'll drive slowly and follow you. Don't tell me that the traffic police will come to check the car assigned to you by the Sid Group."
"Ahem, that's true..." Ying Zilan smiled, "I heard both Zifeng and Aqing say that you drive as slow as a snail. Let's take care of your speed here, so we don't worry about any problems.
…”
"I was being cautious, okay?"
During Dongfang Wan's defense, everyone burst into laughter, and Ying Zilan said: "Then... can't you wait for classmate Jiaming?"
"Forget it..." Dongfang Wan calmed down, "He said he came to Paris this time because he had something to do. He originally didn't want to come with us. Now that he's in Paris, he probably has to deal with his own affairs..."
"Going alone? He knows French?"
"Maybe someone picked him up, maybe he had other ways, anyway, I am..." I wanted to say that I didn't know anything about this guy, but when I saw Lei Qing next to me, I said rather resentfully, "I am
Too lazy to bother...just go...he will be back in the evening."
She said departure, and the matter was finalized. A group of people left the hotel. Dongfang Wan handed her camera to Xu Yiting, and then asked two or three familiar classmates to follow them in the same car, naturally excluding Lei Qing.
Lei Qing was used to her rolling her eyes, and he actually cared less about her. Maybe there was still a feeling of discomfort in his heart, but it would naturally disappear as time went by. The motorcade set off from the entrance of the wine shop and passed through the splendid city streets.
Drive forward according to Ying Zilan's arrangement.
There is not much time in the evening. In fact, this trip is just to take a walk in the car and enjoy the night view. As an ancient symbol of Paris, the majestic Notre Dame de Paris, the elegant and charming Grand Palais in Paris in the night, and then to the Elysee Palace.
The most glorious Place Charles de Gaulle, passing under the majestic and towering Arc de Triomphe, and passing the most famous Champs Elysées, a group of girls almost screamed. This is probably the place with the highest density of famous brands in the world.
Across the Champs Elysées is the Place de la Concorde with its charming night view. If Jia Ming is here, it may trigger some memories. Maybe many years ago... or some time later, he first met at the Place de la Concorde.
To Natalie Annis, but at that time, she was just a girl wearing roller skates and selling flowers.
We took pictures while driving. The Palace of Versailles was a bit far away. Since Dongfang Wan was driving too cautiously, everyone decided not to go there. They turned back soon after crossing the Seine River. Walking along the river, you can see many different things.
Characteristic cafes, these are the world-famous cafes on the Left Bank of Paris. Not long after, the Eiffel Tower, a modern icon of Paris, appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
As the eighth wonder of the world, the giant chrome-free iron tower with a height of more than 300 meters has an unspeakable charm whether viewed from a distance or up close. The transparent tower illuminates the entire night sky of the Champ de Mars.
As it approached, the iron tower with its golden light flowing out gave people a more glorious and majestic impression. The motorcade stayed near the square for a while, and everyone came out to rest for a while. The camera consumed a huge amount of film before moving on.
Since several cars have built-in intercom systems, Ying Zilan was also explaining the characteristics of the surrounding scenery to everyone while the cars were driving. He was knowledgeable and his explanations were quite interesting. Along the way, everyone had already begun to pay attention to him.
I was so impressed that girls like Luo Jingwen were in the same car with him, and they were chattering non-stop. If Jiaming was here, he would be quite familiar with Paris, but really speaking, he is better at it
Maybe you can only point and say, "This sniper point has a better view", "This is the blind spot of the police force and is suitable for killing people" and so on...
The motorcade passed through the 13th arrondissement of Paris, and just after crossing the Seine River, it detoured back. This area is also called the Gauberin district, and there are many Chinese people. Everyone took a look, and made an appointment to come here for shopping in two days. After driving to the 13th arrondissement,
In the 10th arrondissement, some people actually recognized the surrounding buildings. This is where the Paris train platform is. They came from here in the evening. If they go a little further, they will return to the 2nd arrondissement.
It was already past 11 o'clock in the evening, and everyone got off the car and went to a nearby store for a late-night snack: "Speaking of it, this is the most chaotic area in Paris. There are many pickpockets. Sometimes there are gang fights, uh...
...The red light district is also quite prosperous, but since you are not yet adults, I won't take you there..." Ying Zilan said, naturally he would not worry about any gangs, but the latter sentence made a group of male classmates have a close relationship with him.
Many children like it best when adults don't treat them as children.
After dinner, while Lei Qing went to the bathroom, Dongfang Wan exchanged a few words with Ying Zilan and prepared to leave first. The hotel where Ying Zilan and others originally stayed was not here, so it was time to part ways.
Now that the tour guide is here, Dongfang Wan and others will naturally not get lost. Ying Zilan was unwilling at first, but seeing that Lei Qing didn't come out for a long time because he didn't know whether it was constipation or some other reason, Dongfang Wan was too insistent, so he nodded in agreement, and they
The four people took a car back, and Dongfang Wan and the others drove the other four cars back. The two tour guides could drive, and most of these people were from good family backgrounds. It was really not a problem to find one or two people who could drive.
When Lei Qing came out, only the three people who came with him were waiting for him outside. Ying Zilan patted his shoulder helplessly: "Xiao Wan's character is too strong, so why bother? Just give up..."

Four small cars drove one after another and turned the corner of the streets of Paris. The time was close to twelve o'clock. Paris is a city that never sleeps, but as midnight approached, the flow of people in some neighborhoods was reduced after all.
“There are fewer cars on this street, and it’s faster to get to the hotel.”
The tour guide said this on the intercom. Dongfang Wan lay on the steering wheel and looked ahead. Most of the shops on both sides of the road had closed their doors. There were a few open bars. There were not many pedestrians on the road, but it didn't look like that.
The area was too chaotic. A bus roared from the opposite street, and the lights dazzled their eyes. The next moment, she saw a few people running out of a midnight restaurant on the roadside in front of them as if they had seen a ghost.
There was a faint light of fire in it.
"What happened? There was a fire? Do you want to call the police?"
The enthusiastic Dongfang Wan pressed the intercom and spoke, then turned around and asked Xu Yiting: "I don't know what the emergency phone number is in France. Should I call 911?" Before he finished speaking, the glass door of the restaurant in front suddenly shattered, and a figure flew away.
He came out and fell hard to the pavement on the side of the road, and then the color of blood appeared. Although there was no sound in the car, everyone who witnessed this scene could still feel the intensity of the impact.
Another person swooped out.
The latter's injury was not serious, and he staggered up. Behind him, a figure came out of the door.
Dongfang Wan and Xu Yiting's eyes widened at the same time.
The figure of a woman who is as majestic as ice still carries the calm and calm temperament, with an oval face full of oriental temperament and shoulder-length hair. She is wearing a pair of light gray sunglasses and looks around.
He looked at the figure running along the road, and then took something out of his pocket.
Even without very professional knowledge of weapons, everyone could clearly see that it was in the shape of a grenade.
Standing at the chaotic doorway, she twisted the grenade and threw it into the store door with her backhand. Then she walked towards a sports car on the roadside. Only a loud bang was heard, and the terrifying explosion flames spurted out from the store door.
The car came out, swallowing up the man who couldn't get up from the ground. The shock wave of the explosion rolled up the woman's clothes and hair. She opened the car door in the firelight and sat in.
At the same time, the man who had escaped earlier was about to cross the road and staggered to the other side of the road.
The sports car roared, knocking the man's figure away. In a blink of an eye, it drove hundreds of meters away, passed through the corner in front of the road, and disappeared in the eyes of everyone.
"Su, Sister Suyan..."
Looking at the direction where the figure disappeared, Xu Yiting was talking loudly. Before she could react, the car under her that was always driving at a turtle speed suddenly changed. Although it still seemed quiet, she could still feel it.
Coming out, the slight vibration of the turbine rotation seemed to increase several times in an instant. Dongfang Wan stepped on the accelerator hard and hit the gear with one hand. The next moment, the car at the rear rushed out like a rocket.
The distance of several hundred meters passed in an instant. Amidst Xu Yiting's screams, Dongfang Wan swung the steering wheel wildly, and the car almost rushed into the curve ahead in a drifting posture.
After a few seconds, the car began to slow down.
In the field of vision ahead, the speeding sports car has disappeared. At this time, the light of the siren has just begun to vaguely appear in front...
