Before lunch, Chen Feng returned to Red Villa Bay.
The two won, Sun and Wu, surprisingly did not ask him what he did last night, but during the al, the atmosphere was inevitably a bit dull.
Seeing this, Chen Feng took the initiative to say, "Last night I had a reunion with classmates, university mates. We hadn’t seen each other in years, so we stayed out late. I simply didn’t co back to sleep."
The two won listened, sowhat skeptical, but Chen Feng truly wasn’t lying, so his face showed calm sincerity.
"You must have drunk so alcohol last night?" Wu ngting asked.
"Yeah, I did drink a bit." Even though he didn’t want to lie, he had to go along with the conversation. Unless necessary, he certainly wouldn’t foolishly bring up the matter with Liu Ying.
Only then did the two won believe Chen Feng, and the atmosphere at the table livened up. They started talking about their trip to Europe, like dealing with jet lag.
After the al, the two won cleaned up together, wiped the table, washed the dishes, and tidied up the trash to throw it away.
Then, the three of them brought their prepared luggage downstairs, along with passports, ID cards, and other necessary docunts. After that, Wu ngting contacted the online taxi driver to et at the community entrance in half an hour.
They each checked their belongings once more to make sure nothing was missing before each wheeled their suitcase out the door.
They walked to the community entrance, which took about ten minutes, and by the ti they arrived, the ride-sharing car was already waiting.
To be safe, Wu ngting ordered a high-end car this ti, an Audi A8.
Pricier options have their reasons; this driver was very professional and didn’t engage in unnecessary conversation.
So drivers, especially taxi drivers, can be chatty, which not all passengers appreciate. At least the three of them didn’t like chatting with taxi drivers.
Forty minutes later, they arrived at the airport, with about an hour left before the flight.
Anna was contacted by phone; she was already in the waiting lounge, so after completing their paperwork, they went over to et her.
Their first stop on the Europe trip was Anna’s country, starting from Lanxi Country and then touring all over Europe.
Anna happily chatted with the two won, Sun and Wu, frequent laughter suggesting a good ti.
Chen Feng quietly sat by the side playing on his phone, mainly telling people about his trip abroad.
This included Qin Zhen and Liu Ying. Informing his good buddy Qin Zhen was expected, especially since he was going away for a significant ti, not ntioning it wouldn’t be very brotherly. As for Liu Ying, he had just slept with her, so he couldn’t simply disappear; he had to let her know.
However, he didn’t ntion taking the two won on a European tour, just said he was going abroad for business and would be back in ten days or two weeks.
Liu Ying didn’t say anything resentful, only reminded him to stay safe.
Everyone else, including family, Chen Feng didn’t inform, figuring it wouldn’t be too late to tell them once they find out.
The four smoothly boarded the plane from Xiu Zhou, transferred in Shanghai, then flew to Lanxi Country.
After over ten hours, the plane safely landed, and with Anna, the local guide, they managed to avoid unnecessary troubles, like the assorted con artists gathered outside the airport.
"After leaving the airport, don’t engage with any strangers trying to chat you up. That’s the most basic safety awareness."
Anna instructed the three after they got into the ride-sharing car outside the airport.
This is similar both dostically and abroad, but the situation here in Lanxi Country is clearly worse because, as Anna explained, they’ve accepted too many foreign refugees in recent years. These refugees have no jobs or ways to make a living, so naturally resort to various fraudulent and criminal acts, causing cri rates here to soar.
And Chen Feng and the others, as Asians, are preferred targets for these criminals because the impression is that Asians are generally rich and like to carry cash or wear gold and silver jewelry.
Thus, they are the primary target group for these criminals to steal, rob, or extort.
Luckily, this ti they have Anna, a local White Girl, with them, which saved them a lot of trouble.
After the airport, when those criminals choose their targets, seeing Anna, the White Girl, accompanying them makes them hesitate.
Once they were directly driven away, those people had to give up.
All four of them went to their booked hotel, finally, breathing a sigh of relief.
Anna noticed Sun and Wu were a bit tense and laughed to reassure them, "The security at the airport isn’t great, but in recent years relevant departnts have been working to improve it. Relatively speaking, those people don’t go too far; generally, if one is a bit cautious, nothing happens. Other places are similar; now at so tourist spots and where there are many tourists, there are quite a few plainclothes officers patrolling, making it quite safe."
Wu ngting wryly smiled, "I knew from the internet that your local security wasn’t good, but didn’t expect it to be this serious. I noticed quite a few West Asian-looking people watching us when leaving the airport, their gazes unfriendly. Experiencing it first-hand indeed feels different."
Sun Xiaorui also comnted, "Still, our dostic security feels better. This trip feels a bit nerve-wracking."
Anna laughed, "You really don’t need to be so tense. Generally speaking, our Lanxi Country’s security is still relatively alright. It’s just that in recent years, because of the increase in refugees, security has worsened sowhat in certain places. But as we stopped accepting new refugee influxes, combined with strict governance, security has improved a lot. As long as we avoid places with many refugees, there won’t be any trouble."
Chen Feng also laughed, "We’re out here to travel, first and foremost for happiness. Necessary precautions are needed, but there’s no need to be overly tense. Once we’re over the jet lag, we’ll let Anna arrange the itinerary. We’ll play well."
Anna nodded, "Yes, we’re here to have fun, enjoynt is key. I will certainly arrange the safest itineraries for you. No need to worry too much."
After chatting for a while longer, they each went their separate ways.
Chen Feng stayed in one room, Sun and Wu shared another, and Anna had a room to herself.
Despite being sowhat unreasonable, Chen Feng could completely share a room with Sun Xiaorui, Wu ngting with Anna, but Wu ngting insisted on staying with Sun Xiaorui for mutual care, leaving Chen Feng and Sun Xiaorui without a stance to oppose.
After adjusting to the ti zone and waking up, it was just noon, so Anna took them to a nearby French restaurant for a good al.
I must say, authentic French cuisine was quite comndable.
Caviar and foie gras, both epitos of savor.
Caviar is essentially salted fish eggs, commonly from finfish, but also trout, cod, and sturgeon. Caviar’s best pairing is red wine.
They ate finfish eggs, and after tasting, couldn’t help but all praise it.
Next was foie gras, paired with sweet wine sauce, and its flavor was equally excellent.
