"Listen to me, Comrade Hou Yiying." Xiong Jiandong put out his cigarette and finally spoke.
"If you don't object, I plan to send you on a flight back to China first. I'm sorry, but I have to let you return alone."
There were only two people talking in the room, but they still called her "comrade" in a seemingly respectful manner. This was not an ordinary stranger, and Hou Yiying heard it very harshly.
"I also call you Comrade Xiong Jiandong!" Hou Yiying turned cold and replied sarcastically. "Now, please be honest and answer my question first, okay?"
However, Xiong Jiandong didn't seem to care and still maintained a rather gentle expression.
"If you have any questions, just say it directly." Xiong Jiandong said, "Please believe me, there will never be any deception!"
Hou Yiying asked: "Based on what I know in the past, you probably don't have a close relationship with Chen Hongjuan, but why are you so concerned about her affairs?"
Xiong Jiandong's eyes quickly flashed with a sharp gloom, and he blurted out: "Because, I don't want her to be the second Lin Sirer!"
Hou Yiying could easily tell that his straightforward and unthinking answer was a revelation of his true thoughts.
"His open-mindedness means he has no inclination toward me. It's my small-mindedness that misunderstood him."
When Hou Yiying thought of this, he immediately relaxed.
"Actually, Comrade Yiying," Xiong Jiandong said, "I have been struggling in my heart just now. Should I beg you to go to Paris together? If I really have you as my companion, some things will undoubtedly become logical and I will find excuses.
Reduce Lu Zhichao’s wariness.”
"However, I thought of Director Qiao Zong's instructions on the phone when we set off from Sanya. He only gave us a week's time limit to stay in the United States and then return safely. Now, there are only two days left."
"Furthermore, even if you can ignore everything else and decisively go to Paris together, because of another random idea, I feel that this will drag you down and make you very embarrassed."
"How can a random idea embarrass me?" Hou Yiying asked freshly. "To tell you the truth, don't try to get rid of me. I have already made up my mind and decided to go to France with you."
Xiong Jiandong felt embarrassed and felt embarrassed for a moment.
"I'm all ears here, you should hurry up and keep talking!"
Hou Yiying became even more curious and kept urging Xiong Jiandong.
"I had an immature consideration." Xiong Jiandong finally said, "Once I go to Paris, I will definitely have direct contact with Lu Zhichao. And Lu Zhichao, he has obviously got the grasp of both of us from Gusfen.
Some people think about what kind of relationship there will be between you and me."
"It turns out that they just want me to continue to act in the scene of a pair of lovers in front of Lu Zhichao." Hou Yiying couldn't help but said happily, "It's great, I really haven't done enough!"
"It's not just that simple," Xiong Jiandong said, "Lu Zhichao is very scheming and cunning. In order to prevent him from being suspicious, you and I can only register in one room in the hotel after we arrive in Paris."
Hou Yiying was stunned for a moment, then laughed again.
"Didn't we stay together in the guest room of Kent's house last night?" she said. "Aren't we getting along well?"
…
Paris.
At Charles de Gaulle International Airport, Xiong Jiandong and Hou Yiying called Lu Zhichao as soon as they left the terminal.
This phone number belonged to Xiong Jiandong at the Phoenix Island Resort Hotel in Sanya. When he stuffed Tan Qibiao into the trunk of the car that day, he could easily find it from the stored number on his mobile phone that was seized later.
Lu Zhichao was surprised to receive an unexpected call from Xiong Jiandong.
After interrogating him for a long time, he revealed that he was staying at a famous hotel called Al Lederman on the Elysee Avenue, and agreed to meet Xiong Jiandong and Hou Yiying in the hotel where he stayed.
It was about eight o'clock in the morning.
The time Xiong Jiandong and Lu Zhichao agreed to meet was two hours later, at the coffee shop on the first floor of the Al Lederman Hotel.
After taking a taxi for more than an hour from Charles de Gaulle Airport to the Elysée Avenue, the driver took Xiong Jiandong and Hou Yiying to the Al Leidemann Hotel.
After the driver found out that they were Chinese nationals who had traveled to the United States and came to Paris for tourism, he said that it was not surprising that the two of them chose Alfred, because this hotel's food and beverage signature is...
It specializes in Chinese cuisine, so it will be the first choice for Chinese people to stay in Paris.
At the reception desk of the hotel, when Xiong Jiandong found out that there was indeed an American guest named Lu Zhichao staying, he registered.
The room number is Building C 302.
Feeling that there was enough time left, Xiong Jiandong and Hou Yiying tidied up in the room carefully before going to the coffee shop downstairs.
As the driver said, you can indeed see many Chinese people in the Alfred Hotel. Even in the coffee shop, although there are not many guests, you can hear Chinese conversations from time to time.
The two of them found a booth, first served snacks to fill their stomachs, and then slowly drank coffee and waited for Lu Zhichao to appear.
Xiong Jiandong did not dare to be careless, for fear that Lu Zhichao would hide in a corner beforehand, so from the moment he entered the hotel, he always showed caressing and affectionate towards Hou Yiying.
Hou Yiying also cooperated generously and always treated him with laughter and intimacy.
They whispered and discussed the prosperity and culture of Paris with great interest.
This intimate interaction between the two was not only not surprising to others, but also completely integrated with the warm atmosphere of the coffee shop.
Paris is romantic.
Being in this situation, Hou Yiying gradually felt the pleasure that she had never enjoyed before. It seemed that there was an indescribable pleasure flowing and rippling in her heart.
She saw that Xiong Jiandong had washed and dried his hair and smoothed his face because he was in the room just now. Coupled with the suit and tie that she carefully selected for him, he not only looked particularly strong and handsome, but also condensed.
Showing deep calmness and tenderness.
"There is always the shadow of another person hidden in him!"
Hou Yiying thought that based on her initial impression of Xiong Jiandong, who was once the first deputy director of the Huaishang Public Security Bureau and just a martial artist, the huge contrast between now and then was really incredible.
While Hou Yiying was staring at Xiong Jiandong in a daze, thinking in confusion, a voice suddenly came over.
"You two are Miss Hou and Mr. Xiong!"
Behind the two-person booth, a man in his thirties emerged.
Xiong Jiandong recognized him at a glance. This person was Lu Zhichao.
He was surprised to think that Lu Zhichao had come to the coffee shop early and had been staying in the booth behind the two of them.
Fortunately, the conversation I had with Hou Yiying just now was mostly based on French customs and customs, so there were no flaws left.
