When Gray returned to his mansion in Basel, it was already dark. He and the girl from the internal affairs team who followed him all the way back here in silence. If she didn't say anything, he didn't want to say anything either.
He parked his white Rolls-Royce Phantom in the courtyard and hurried into the hall. A girl in a white dress was waiting for him here. She smiled politely at him and asked,"
"Mr. Gray, it's dinner time now. Everyone is eating in the dining room. Do you want to go over?”
He smiled and thanked her, then went to the dining room to check on the situation.
Compared to the vegetarian lunch, the food here was quite normal. Apart from the Swiss specialties similar to breakfast, there was also a large portion of roast pork, lamb, and beef.
Xu Haoran was talking and laughing with a few beautiful women. There was a beautiful woman on each side of him who wanted to lie in his arms. There were also a few people around him who were listening to his history of struggle. As soon as Gray arrived, there were also beautiful women surrounding him. They took off his expensive coat, pulled out his chair, and arranged the cutlery for him.
At this moment, a Koenigsberg sports car had just parked in the courtyard. Alexia got out of the car and walked into the hall.
"Anna, did Gray just arrive?”she asked.
"Yes, I just entered the restaurant."
"Alright, I'll go find him."
"Do you want me to help you drive the car away? There won't be enough space in the courtyard later.”
"Alright, sorry to trouble you." Alexia threw the car keys to Anna.
When she walked into the hall, Gray was surrounded by the girls. Alexia didn't know how to strike up a conversation with this man who liked to wear branded clothes and was meticulous about every detail. As she walked towards him, she made a plan in her heart.
"Hello, Gray." She slapped his right shoulder from behind.""Miss Yang Hui asked me to look for you." As soon as she said this, the girl who was originally sitting on the chair to his right immediately stood up and gave her the seat. More than half of the people surrounding him had also dispersed.
" Oh." He nodded and watched Alexia sit down on his right."What plans does she have?"
She looked at him and thought for a while before saying,""She said that only you have a deep understanding of European aristocratic culture and asked me to bring you to see a batch of red wine.”
Xu Haoran heard it from not far away and said,"Miss Yang Hui seems to think highly of Mr. Gray.”
Alexia smiled back at him and said,""Everyone has their own strengths, but no one knows if they are bluffing.”
"Where is the red wine?" Gray frowned.
"Please." Alexia stood up and led the way.
She and Gray arrived at the main restaurant on the west side of the fourth floor of the main building. She closed the dining room door behind him and locked it with a click, causing Gray to look back.
The wall was filled with diamond-shaped wooden lattices, and all kinds of red wine were neatly placed. The room was filled with the fragrance of wine mixed with the smell of roasted meat, although there was no roasted meat here at the moment. Apart from the wine racks, the decor here was reminiscent of the rich European people of the Middle Ages. The curtains and tablecloths were all custom-made products from Gucci. There were many paintings hanging on the empty walls. They were all of outstanding craftsmanship and varied styles. They were all works of the Queen Mother.
Gray slowly looked over from the wine rack and said,""There are indeed many precious wines, but some of the vintages are very strange. If I hadn't seen them here, I wouldn't have believed that there were any in the world unless they were fake wines.”
He tapped a bottle of wine with his finger and said,"This bottle of Romanée-branded wine actually says 1652. Oh my god, although the name of the Clenso Winery was changed to Romanée-Conti in 1651, and then more than a hundred years later, it was changed to Romanée-Conti…"
While he was talking about his wine culture, Alexia took off her coat and underwear, leaving only a thin V-neck shirt and a high-slit skirt. She sat at the dining table and said,""Then let's drink it."
"Just drink it?" When Gray turned around to look, Alexia was sitting at the dining table and smiling at him. A few round curves were faintly visible under her collar.
"Bring it over. It's open." She slammed the table.
Gray pulled out the bottle of wine with a lively expression and sat down with her at the dining table.
" I don't know how to open red wine…" She smiled at him while holding an empty glass.
A few minutes later, Gray taught her to hold the bottom of the glass with her fingers and shake it to sober up. He told her not to let the heat from her hands pass into the wine.
"It's so troublesome. How long does it take to drink a mouthful of wine?”she said unhappily.
He shook his head and said," It's already a waste not to chill it. Just shake it for a few more minutes. After all, it's more than 360 years old.”
"…" She was speechless." I wonder if I'll drink myself to death."”
Twenty minutes later, there was only an empty bottle left on the table.
"No, it's not enough. I want to drink something high.”she told him.
"…I'll go find the worst bottle.”He turned around and walked towards the wine rack.
"Find a bottle that doesn't need to be sobered up. Also, don't drink less than me, like a girl.”As she spoke, she took out a cigarette from her coat and lit one for herself.
After another 20 minutes, Gray unbuttoned his shirt. The skin below his neck was red.
"His alcohol tolerance is not bad, but I don't know if he's good in other aspects.”Alexia smiled at him.
"Let's go to my room.”Gray still looked sober.
"Carry me over." She reached out her hand to him.
Gray carried her back to his room, locked the door, and threw her on the bed.
"Why lock it? I'm not running.”She laughed at him.
There were four or five ties in his room. He took them and tied her hands to the metal frame beside the bed.
"It looks quite exciting. I know how to play." she said.
Gray didn't say anything. He dragged the suitcase over and opened it for her.
When she saw the various utensils in the box, she felt her throat go dry and she was so scared that she woke up."Damn it! No wonder your name is Gray…"
Empress Xuan and Madam Wang returned from the balcony on the fourth floor.
They discussed some issues on the sofa in the room they entered.
" From his personality traits, there are almost no serious injuries. Xu Haoran has deviated from our target the most. Lei Xinnuo will have to trouble Sister Wang to treat his illness tonight and then observe him.”Empress Xuan said.
"I think the last three children are quite promising.”Madam Wang said.
"Actually, I did a new additional test today, which is to establish a connection with the sun. "Fang Xiaogang and Sun Ling Dong have physiques that are almost unable to connect with the sun…Although this is not a characteristic, I don't think the two of them have much hope…" Empress Xuan said.
Madam Wang reached out to stop her from speaking. She closed her eyes to listen and asked,"Try our restaurant.”
Mysterious Queen also closed her eyes. Three seconds later, she suddenly opened them and said,""Who's so bold as to drink our bottle of Romanée-Conti wine?”
Madam Wang closed her eyes and smiled." Who else could it be? It's Alexia you sent." Feel her position."
Mysterious Queen closed her eyes again. Ten seconds later, the two of them opened their eyes together and smiled at each other.
Empress Xuan nodded." Alright, it saves me the trouble of teaching her a lesson."”
From the corridor on the third floor of the main house, a muffled female scream could be heard, and it did not stop until late at night.
A long lost line, let the readers take a break.
Milan was an ancient city built in the center of the Lombardy Plains for more than 2,000 years. The buildings were as numerous as the stars, and the Urban area was vast and boundless.
Andrew and Eva traveled from the south to the north. They passed through large farmlands on the plains in the dark and finally entered Milan in the middle of the night. Originally, they could have bypassed the city center on the highway outside the Urban area and continued to Switzerland, but it was obvious that Andrew was too sleepy to hold on.
Shortly after leaving Florence, Eva drove for two hours, and Andrew had a good sleep. However, it was obviously unrealistic for him to drive all night to Basel, which was located in northern Switzerland and bordering Germany.
They decided to stay at the Melia Hotel in the TreTorri district for the night.
Finally, there was an empty room with two beds. When they were checking in at the front desk, Eva was the one who did the formalities and the conversation. Andrew stood behind her, a little at a loss.
The receptionist was a little suspicious of this combination and asked Andrew,""Sir, are you staying in the same room as this girl?”
"Can I have a room alone?" Eva asked.”
"I'm sorry, Miss. Our hotel can't let children under the age of 18 stay alone.”the waiter answered Eva with a smile.
" Then we can only stay in the same room," Andrew said angrily." Why are you asking me?"”
The receptionist heard his southern Italian accent and was relieved. She asked,"I'm sorry, sir. What's your relationship?”
Eva took out the letter of participation for the music festival competition and showed it to him. She said,"I'm here to participate in the competition. This gentleman is the head of the boarding family arranged by our school. We took some time to travel here and wanted to see Milan Cathedral.”
The receptionist finally understood the question and was relieved. She smiled politely and said,"Welcome to Milan. Milan Cathedral will not disappoint you, lovely lady.”
Andrew was still a little angry. He felt that the receptionist was biased against Southerners and asked him in an unfriendly tone,"What do you mean by asking this? Do you think I can be rude to a little girl? Even Luc Besson's LEON (Léon the Killer) wouldn't shoot like this. Do you think we Southerners are all beasts, Northerners?”
The receptionist couldn't help but laugh."Please forgive me, sir. The Milan police asked us to understand the basic situation of special guests. As long as you don't bring a gun like Leon, our hotel welcomes you. Besides, it's better for us to ask than to report it to the police and let them knock on the door in the middle of the night, right?”
"Alright, it's late at night. Let's hurry back to our rooms and rest.”Eva pushed Andrew out of the front desk.
The hotel was located in the bustling wealthy district of Milan. Two landmark buildings could be seen outside the window. It could be considered Milan's central business district. There were very few high-rise buildings in Milan, and there were only two of them here. One of them had a red billboard with the words " Generali " A blue ALLianz was the German Allianz.
Eva told Andrew to take a shower while she stood by the window and stared into the distance.
Andrew felt that it was inappropriate to come out wrapped in a towel under such circumstances, so he brought everything he wore today into the bathroom. After washing up, he came out wearing the same clothes. He saw Eva holding the curtains and looking out in a daze.
"Eva, do you want to take a shower?”he asked.
"I don't need it." she said without looking back.
"Uh, if you think it's inconvenient, I can go out for a walk and come back in an hour to buy something.”he said.
"If I don't bathe, what are you going to buy?”She turned to look at him.
"If you really don't want to take a shower, I'll go to bed.”He took off his coat and crawled into a quilt on the bed."I don't know how to take care of a child. Is it okay for you to sleep by yourself? I might even snore."
"You hit me in the car just now. It's fine. It won't affect me.”Eva turned her gaze back to the dark night outside the window.
"By the way, there's a question I've been wanting to ask. How do you know my name?”
I know a lot of things. For example, your old car is likely to break down on the road tomorrow. The Alps mountain road is a test for it, and…" She looked up at the night sky."There will be heavy fog in the mountains tomorrow."
"We'll change to another car tomorrow. We need at least a 4WD SUV to be safe.”Eva turned around and said to him.
"Are you talking about renting a car?" He had forgotten about the name.
"Alright, it's more cost-effective than buying." She smiled.
"This isn't cheap…”
"Just pick a good car and rent it. I'll pay you separately.”
"Alright, no problem." He was happy that he didn't have to spend money.
"Okay, go to sleep." Eva closed the curtains and jumped onto the other empty bed. She pulled the blanket and fell asleep.
—————————————————————————————
Fang Xiaogang was woken up by three regular knocks on the door. He looked at the bedside table in a daze. His phone was placed next to a silver watch. He was still using his phone to check the time out of habit.
"Mr. Fang, are you awake?" It was eight in the morning.
She had only returned to the headquarters in the middle of the night with Shirley last night. The obvious ban prevented her from saying anything. Although he couldn't say anything, when they were about to return Urban area Basel, on a road without street lights, Shirley suddenly pulled the steering wheel, scaring Fang Xiaogang into slamming on the brakes.
The car was parked in a forest by the roadside. The heat from the engine provided a warm air conditioner to block out the cold night outside the car. The only light in the car was the light from the phone screen with the navigation system on.
When he went to see her, Shirley's familiar beautiful eyes sparkled in the dark night.
"There are no rules on the time we can go back.”She said it very subtly.
He really regretted choosing such a small off-road vehicle. If he had chosen a size car with a reclining seat…he could only make do with it. Fortunately, the company was paying for the gas, and the engine was turned on to heat up the car.
The car door had to be locked…
Fang Xiao opened the door for Guna and invited her in as usual. She was sitting on the same stool with her back straight.
"Are we still going to the restaurant to eat before 8:30?”he asked.
"Yes."
"Alright, please wait a moment.”He went to wash up. She hesitated for a moment before leaving the house. She didn't wear her watch and put it in her suitcase.
Today was the same as yesterday. Cindy, Shirley, Angel, Norma, Noah, and three other members of the internal affairs team, whose names were unknown, served breakfast to everyone present. Bian Kai's prize from yesterday hung around Cindy's neck, and everyone could not help but take a second look.
"The real thing looks better than the photo. Congratulations, Miss Cindy.”Xu Haoran said to Cindy with a smile as she walked past him.
"Thank you." Cindy smiled politely and continued to work.
"So, Mr. Bian won yesterday.”Gray said.
"Mr. Bian is really generous," praised Sun Lingdong."A priceless necklace. You just gave it away like that."”
" You can't say that." Bian Kai paused his meal and chewed on the meat in his mouth. There was still half a Saint Gallen sausage on the fork in his hand."I'm not sending an outsider. I'm sending my fiancée.”
