Chapter 1504 Snow White
"Excuse me, I don't speak English," Li Xuewu replied to the other person's attempt to strike up a conversation in English, while simultaneously sizing the other person up.
The woman didn't care about his searchlight-like gaze, because she had that kind of light too.
"And what about romantic French?"
"The night is romantic, but I am lonely."
Li Xuewu chuckled and said, "It seems we really are destined to meet."
“Of course, if you have Yuan, I have Yuan.” Seeing his interest, the woman gave him a flirtatious wink and said, “Hmm—”
"Tsk—" Li Xuewu shook his head slightly and said, "What a pity."
He shrugged under the other person's surprised gaze and said, "Your beauty and charm make my wallet feel ashamed."
Are you planning to get something for free?
The woman looked him up and down, then asked suspiciously, "How's your technique? Or should I just let you have the night for free?"
"Maybe we shouldn't—"
The elevator doors opened, and he smiled slightly, saying, "I don't care about things that are free."
Without waiting for the other party's reaction, Li Xuewu stepped out of the elevator.
"What did you say!--"
An angry voice came from behind, but it grew fainter and fainter until the elevator doors closed.
When the woman opened the elevator again, the man was no longer in the corridor.
"hateful--"
The woman stomped her foot angrily, searched the corridor again, and only after confirming that the person had returned to the room did she mutter a curse under her breath.
She was naturally dissatisfied, especially because of the other party's statement that it was "free".
The woman would rather the other party feign rejection than suffer this humiliation.
Ding--
The elevator doors opened on this floor, and the woman saw her superior dressed as a hotel waitress. Reluctantly, she walked over.
"Failed? That's to be expected."
The waiter crossed his arms over his stomach, not even glancing at the woman who had just come up in the elevator, but his words were rather harsh.
The girl glanced at him, puffed out her cheeks, and decided not to argue; it was pointless.
What do you mean by "normal"? Is it normal that she lacks the necessary ability to complete this task, or is it normal that she cannot break through the opponent's strong will? These are not the same thing.
"Don't make promises you can't keep next time. Let's leave it at that this time."
"Then tomorrow—"
Just as the waiter was about to get off the elevator, the young woman couldn't help but ask him a question.
"I won't need you tomorrow."
Without turning his head, the waiter said, "Yulia will replace you; perhaps she prefers someone innocent."
"Who the hell isn't innocent?"
The elevator doors closed, and the woman looked at her leather tube top and fishnet stockings, thinking that she didn't seem to be at all innocent.
But she was pure at heart; it was just that the man lacked the eye to appreciate her.
Snapped--
After blowing away the gum in her mouth and demonstrating her verbal skills, the woman muttered resentfully, "You have no idea what you've lost."
Indeed, Li Xuewu had no idea that he had missed an opportunity to be lauded.
Even though the other party demonstrated this skill right then and there, he didn't dare to respond.
As Lu Xun once said: "A wise man does not enter the river of love, for he will not be responsible for drowning!"
He didn't want to drown in this stinking ditch of East Germany; heaven knows what kind of person the other party was.
If we disregard the influence his career brings him, given his appearance, unless it's a woman with a past and feelings for him, who would fall in love with him at first sight?
Forget about Eastern charm, tall and broad-shouldered, being in a foreign land, would you believe in love at first sight?
Don't risk your life if you can't explain something clearly at the police station.
You wanted to say that you had lost something important, and that the other person had found it. You took her to your room to thank her, and then gave her 200 yuan.
But who would believe that?
He had just had sex at the welcome banquet that evening, and he couldn't believe it was such a coincidence that a call girl would appear in front of him at this time, let alone in the elevator.
Think about it, a girl who hasn't found a "job" by this time either has to finish her job early or the quality of her work is poor.
He has no penchant for scrubbing pots and pans, nor any interest in collecting junk.
If all the usual reasons are ruled out, then what's left is that someone is trying to set him up.
As for who it is, that's easy to guess, since he only offended a few people in his speech tonight.
First of all, the Northern Mao, as one of the two poles, was naturally dissatisfied with his provocation and sowing of discord.
While it's impossible to say that East Germany's health and safety departments were entirely under North German control, it's safe to say they were certainly not outside the scope of influence.
Li Xuewu dared to make such outrageous remarks because, after the other party had checked his identity, they naturally hoped he would fall into a trap and embarrass the visiting delegation.
To put it simply, when he brought that woman back to the room, everything became unclear, and he would become an emergency and a disgrace to the visit.
And he, who just spoke out against the international order, will become an international laughing stock.
Therefore, it's entirely plausible that the Northern Mao wanted to trick him.
Did East Germany have any motive for this action?
It's fair to say that some people might have that.
Who?
Of course, this refers to those who do not want this visit to yield any tangible results.
Without a doubt, in Europe, every doghouse has a pile of stinking dog poop.
Internal crushing is a normal occurrence.
By framing Li Xuewu, the aim was to humiliate the delegation, damage China's international image, and destroy preparations for this cooperation.
This is East Germany, and one of the best hotels in East Berlin. Under the socialist system, would call girls be able to approach you at will?
This is not an insult to Li Xuewu, but an insult to the East German system.
Li Xuewu simply didn't believe that a "foreign teacher" would take the initiative to come to him to teach him a foreign language.
Knowing that his room had been spied on, Li Xuewu reported the matter to his team leader after returning to his room.
This is the normal reaction and the proper procedure; it would be abnormal if he didn't report it.
If he returns to his room and doesn't react, the person listening in will become suspicious.
So when Li Huaide heard that a prostitute had appeared in the elevator, his first thought was that he had gone to bed too early.
"Is she very pretty?"
"Ok?"
This is quite different from the answer Li Xuewu expected. What are you focusing on?
"I didn't look closely. I avoided her when she tried to strike up a conversation with me. She didn't seem like a good person."
"Oh, cough cough, I was asking about her physical characteristics, we need to be wary of her."
Old Li seemed to be deliberately explaining something, perhaps it was an impulsive act made in a moment of distraction.
Yes, the night is long, and I'm in a foreign land. If only there were a Tonya...
As for Li Xuewu's confident assertion on the phone that his will was even stronger than Pavel Korchagin's in the face of temptation, he said that anyone who believed that was a complete idiot.
Li Xuewu is such a cunning person, how could he not have noticed the problem based on his past work experience?
The other party stumbled upon this by accident; they were unaware of Li Xuewu's previous work experience and treated him like an impulsive young man trying to hook him up.
"Okay, I'll report this to my supervisor. You should also be on high alert."
"okay, I get it."
With the phone tucked under his shoulder, Li Xuewu inspected his M1911 pistol, reloading it, cocking it, and firing it in one swift and efficient motion.
Hearing the sound of a gun bolt coming from the other end of the phone, Old Li couldn't help but be stunned.
It's telling you to be more vigilant, not that it's raising your risk level.
How the hell did you bring that thing here?!
He didn't know that Li Xuewu, as a former security officer, had a gun license.
However, this certificate is only useful within the Hongxing Factory. Outside, Li Xuewu has another identity, so he doesn't need the certificate at all.
So no one would bring up the issue of handing over his gun after leaving the security department.
The problem is that this operation didn't mention him carrying weapons at all, because he was neither a security officer nor a confidential officer, so what use would he have for that stuff?
Hey! See, it's useful now.
Li Xuewu rolled up the quilt on the bed and folded it neatly, then found a blanket in the closet and covered it on top to disguise himself.
He walked to the sofa in the corner, sat down, casually placed the gun on the coffee table, and turned off the last light in the room.
With a snap, the desk lamp went out, leaving only moonlight filtering through the curtains onto the carpet.
In the darkness, it seemed as if someone was lying on the bed, while the actual tenant was sitting on the sofa diagonally opposite the door, pretending to be asleep.
Regardless of whether anyone will visit tonight, Li Xuewu has no intention of sleeping soundly.
The death of delegation members in foreign lands is a common occurrence in later generations, let alone in this chaotic era.
He didn't want to become a bargaining chip for the delegation to demand compensation; he wanted to live a good life.
As for those who show up uninvited, he'll send them a bullet as a greeting.
-
The next morning, Li Xuewu, who had waited all night and only heard irregular footsteps at the door, opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.
Honestly, even if someone came in, he couldn't just raise his hand and shoot.
You should only retaliate after the other party has shown clear intent to attack.
Otherwise, the source of his weapons would be unclear, which would cause trouble for the delegation and himself.
Has something really happened?
If someone dares to attack him, no one will question the source of his weapons.
Of course, even if someone presses him for answers, he has the confidence to give them a rebuttal.
Of course, it would be best if there was no such thing. Perhaps the other party hesitated at the door for a long time without making up their mind, and finally wisely chose to give up.
"Didn't you sleep well last night?"
After washing up, Li Xuewu came out of his room and saw Old Li with dark circles under his eyes. He raised his eyebrows in surprise.
I was cautious all night, what the hell does that have to do with you?
I'm worried about you—
Old Li made a boastful remark, shook his head slightly, and walked forward.
Li Xuewu stood at the door and twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking to himself, "If you're worried about me and can't sleep, why don't you come and stand guard for me?"
"It was a false alarm. Maybe I was being too sensitive."
Li Xuewu walked behind Lao Li with a light laugh and explained, "Maybe this is a special service offered by their hotel?"
"Your swearing is really foul—"
Old Li glanced at him and said, "The boss said to be careful."
"Did the leader say that?"
Li Xuewu looked at him with amusement and asked, "Why does this sound so familiar?"
"Hmph—don't take it lightly." Li Huaide ignored his teasing and said seriously, "At least we must guard against being attacked from the shadows."
"If this level of probing can be called a hidden arrow," Li Xuewu said meaningfully to Old Li, "then we are now under a barrage of arrows, surrounded on all sides."
"You're still too confident," Old Li said, shaking his head slightly. "Showing off your abilities will inevitably arouse the other party's vigilance."
"Of course, I'm not saying you didn't do well last night."
He then recalled Director Du Xian's appreciation for Li Xuewu, and changed the subject, emphasizing, "I'm doing this for your own good."
"It would be good for you to go away for a few days, just to avoid the limelight."
He turned to look at Li Xuewu and said, "Don't be obsessed with the praise from those reporters; it's all empty fame and can't be taken seriously."
"Of course, you're right."
Li Xuewu seemed oblivious to the underlying sarcasm in his words and nodded in agreement.
Seemingly satisfied with his attitude, Old Li stopped talking about it, and the two chatted about the weather in Germany before arriving at the breakfast restaurant.
This hotel is quite stylish; the banquet hall is a banquet hall, and the breakfast restaurant is a breakfast restaurant. They don't serve dinner at breakfast, which is quite novel.
"Did you find anything?"
Just as he was choosing the buffet, Li Huaide noticed him looking around warily and asked him a question casually.
Li Xuewu turned around and looked at him, reminding him, "Where is Director Shao Kang from Shanghai Electromechanical?"
"Hmm?" Li Huaide seemed to be hearing this name for the first time, and glanced into the restaurant. "You know him?"
"We had dinner together last night."
Li Xuewu offered an explanation, and when he saw Wang Youhan from Beijing Automotive Group approaching, he felt even more strongly that Shao Kang's absence was somewhat suspicious.
"Good morning, Director Li." Wang Youhan walked over with a plate and greeted him with a smile, "Good morning, Secretary-General Li."
Li Huaide didn't take him seriously, nodded, and went ahead.
He usually delegates such greetings to Li Xuewu, and he won't let the person who really needs to talk to him leave.
"Where is Director Shao?"
Li Xuewu picked up a pork chop from his plate and asked a question seemingly casually.
"You don't know?" Wang Youhan glanced at him in surprise, and seeing that his gaze was indeed full of doubt, he realized that the other party was not teasing him.
“He had to go back to China for some urgent business,” Wang Youhan explained casually. “He left around four in the morning.”
It turns out the hesitation at the door at night was because someone had an accident, not because the other party was wise enough.
He thought he had scared it away, but it turns out he was just being narcissistic for nothing.
"You left around 4 o'clock?" Li Xuewu asked in surprise, "You went back in such a hurry?"
"Maybe so. I only heard about it from someone after I woke up this morning."
Wang Youhan didn't seem to care much about the friends he had just made last night, at least not as much as the pork chop in front of him.
"I never expected there to be restaurants where you can eat as much as you want." He shook his head with some emotion and said, "If this were in China, it definitely wouldn't last long."
Li Xuewu glanced at him with amusement, unsure how to explain to him what the changing times and the cycle of fate meant.
"Are you traveling with the group today or on your own?"
Li Xuewu walked forward carrying his tray, casually asking, "Are you leaving today or tomorrow?"
"What about you? When are you leaving?" As soon as work was mentioned, Wang Youhan perked up his ears, his wary eyes resembling those of the dog that Lao Biaozi used to keep.
"I'm leaving today." Li Xuewu's answer was devoid of any substance, but he was truly answering, even more directly than Wang Youhan.
"We're leaving today too."
Wang Youhan was more wary of him than of an enemy, and had no intention of revealing any information.
Li Xuewu glanced at him with amusement and said, "Don't tell me we've gotten together?"
He was really wicked, deliberately reminding us, "The trip to Leipzig is quite long; if you go too late, you might not be able to come back."
“Who said we were going to Leipzig?” Wang Youhan glared at him, then emphasized, “We’re in Berlin.”
"Heh heh—" There's no trust left between people!
Li Xuewu shook his head helplessly and said, "Whether you go or not, we're going to Leipzig anyway."
Ignoring Wang Youhan's increasingly serious gaze, he explained casually yet helplessly, "Our Director Li seems determined to get the W50 car. There's nothing we can do."
"You want to produce trucks?"
Wang Youhan frowned and reminded him, "Steel and Automobile already have so many models, why do we still need to overcome technical barriers to introduce truck production?"
Be careful not to bite off more than you can chew.
“You’d better advise our Director Li on this,” Li Xuewu said sincerely, turning to him. “He’s too obsessed with the thrill of rapidly converting technology into revenue.”
Damn it, they tricked me again!
I should have known better than to respond to that. Who would have thought he needed to take a dump?
What the hell is this obsession with technology and revenue shifts? Just say you guys have money and that's it.
If he doesn't have the money, why even mention technology procurement? He's just bragging.
Of course, the people at the Red Star Factory have the right to boast about this, since they have already achieved their goals.
"Would you like to sit together?"
Li Xuewu gestured to the table where Li Huaide was sitting and warmly invited Wang Youhan over.
Wang Youhan politely shook his head and declined, saying, "I've already seen my friend."
"Shall we go together after breakfast?" Li Xuewu, being quite mischievous, invited at this moment, "It'll be good to have company on the road."
"We'll see, we'll see—"
Wang Youhan fled in panic. He never expected Li Xuewu to be so shameless as to try to trick him into revealing information.
Li Xuewu chuckled twice as he watched his retreating figure. When he returned to Old Li's table, his smile hadn't completely faded when he told Old Li a news story that made Old Li's smile disappear.
"Shao Kang, the deputy general manager of Shanghai Electromechanical, has returned to China ahead of schedule."
"What! When?"
Old Li showed enough surprise that such a situation was almost impossible to occur in a delegation.
Besides, even if it happened, it wouldn't be so secretive. Just talk things out, unless something serious has actually happened...
"what happened?"
"I don't know." Li Xuewu glanced at him, then gestured to the noisy breakfast room and explained softly, "Wang Youhan just said that he left at four o'clock in the morning."
"Perhaps it's an emergency." Li Huaide wanted to find a reason for the other party, but even he himself didn't believe it.
Li Xuewu didn't delve into the topic, and Old Li seemed to have lost interest in chatting as well. Breakfast was quickly finished.
"Secretary-General, please wait a moment."
Just as Li Xuewu finished packing his luggage, met up with Sha Qizhi, and was about to leave the hall and get into the car, Liu Bin caught up with him.
He grabbed Li Xuewu's arm and pulled him aside. After glancing warily at the people around him, he whispered in his ear, "The leader asked me to remind you that Shao Kang from Shanghai Electromechanical had an accident last night. He was stabbed."
"Yeah, okay, I got it."
Li Xuewu nodded calmly and said to Liu Bin, "Please explain to the leaders that we will be careful."
Goodbye, Secretary General.
Seeing that Li Xuewu understood the meaning of the leader's words that he had conveyed, Liu Bin stood aside and waved goodbye to the people getting on the bus.
What the hell is this knife wound? How could members of the delegation have suffered knife wounds in a hotel? This is Old Li's code.
Haha, lust is a double-edged sword.
***
"Damn it, he's talking nonsense!"
Fearing that Li Xuewu would beat them to the punch, Wang Youhan, who had set off early to prepare, received news that the Hongxing Steel Group's convoy was not heading towards Leipzig.
Whether on the plane to Leipzig or in casual conversations after landing, Li Xuewu kept telling everyone about his unwavering commitment to Leipzig's automotive industry.
And the result? That's it?
Where the hell have you been?!
"East Germany's railway network was very developed. It only takes us less than three hours to get to Rostock, and we can enjoy the local cuisine at noon."
As Sha Qizhi flipped through the materials in his hand, he took the initiative to introduce the final destination of this trip to Li Xuewu.
Yes, that's right. Li Xuewu's trip wasn't headed for Leipzig, or even in the same direction.
If you're going to Leipzig, it's much more convenient to drive there, given East Germany's excellent highway network.
The reason they chose to travel by train was because they were heading north to Rostock, almost the northernmost city in East Germany.
If you remember correctly, this is the city that Li Xuewu suggested Beijing Chemical should pay attention to, but what can attract Beijing Chemical's attention is not its nitrogen fertilizer production capacity.
Do you think Beijing Chemical will come?
As a key assistant to the East German student, Sha Qizhi was aware of some of his plans, including the intention to lure the Beijing Chemical Institute to serve as a stepping stone.
"I don't know, it's better if they come."
Li Xuewu turned his gaze from the window to Sha Qizhi and said, "Even if they don't come, we still have to do our best."
"That's right, we have absolute confidence."
When it was Sand's turn to speak, he said earnestly, "If we can't achieve the desired result with this kind of arrangement, then our international business division is utterly incompetent."
"Don't make promises you can't keep."
Li Xuewu patted his knee, turned his head and continued to look out the window. Cars sped by, and the scenery on the street looked somewhat distorted.
During that era, the lives of ordinary people in East Germany were quite good. While enjoying the benefits of socialism, they were also occasionally tempted and cared for by the other side.
What could be better than the life of a fence-sitter?
"I heard your boss is putting pressure on you?"
Sha Qizhi tentatively asked in a low voice, "Could it be related to our prior preparations?"
"Don't let your imagination run wild." Li Xuewu turned around and glanced at him, saying, "Where did you hear all this nonsense?"
Without waiting for Sha Qizhi's explanation, he continued, "It's normal for leaders to put pressure on their subordinates. The situation is difficult, and things aren't going smoothly."
"But to say that the leaders put pressure on us because we prepared in advance is pure nonsense."
“Yes.” Sha Qizhi nodded, acknowledging this.
"Don't overinterpret the meeting with the leader last night," Li Xuewu said, looking out the window at the girl in the red dress. "It was just an ordinary meeting."
It's so cold, yet she's wearing a red dress. That's really unusual.
Sha Qizhi had no interest in the girl in the red dress on the street; his mind was completely focused on what his leader had just said.
What does it mean to not over-interpret something? What does it mean to say it was just an ordinary meeting?
This makes it sound like the two of them just bumped into each other in the hallway and exchanged greetings last night, but what actually happened?
He had some connections within the industrial system, but I've never heard of Director Du going out for drinks with anyone in private.
Director Du seems easygoing, but he is known for being principled. He allows his subordinates to do things, but he doesn't allow them to make mistakes.
He had heard some of the news last night, but he didn't inquire further, fearing it would add difficulties to his already troubled trip.
Why did Director Du not speak with Director Li, but instead spoke with Secretary-General Li Xuewu in the middle of the night?
Is there any opinion or view from higher authorities regarding the group's leadership team, or is there any particular concern about the significance of this action?
If we can achieve excellent results in this operation, would that mean further advancement for the Secretary-General?
"Catherine should be at the Ludwigsfeld factory by now, right?"
When the convoy arrived at Berlin East Station, Li Xuewu stepped out of the car, looked up and glanced at the must-see tourist spots in Germany, which were really nothing special.
He turned to Sandman and asked, "Where is Selena?"
Straussberg Prison.
Sha Qizhi, carrying a bag, walked beside him and said, "The news that came back yesterday is a bit unclear."
"Don't be in a hurry, take your time."
Li Xuewu led the way toward the train station, saying, "Give her some time; after all, this isn't Hong Kong."
"This hidden move you arranged..." Sha Qizhi wanted to ask for clarification, but seeing that there were more people around, and the foreign affairs secretary who had been traveling with them had also come up, he stopped talking.
"Actually, Rostock isn't much fun, right?"
Li Xuewu turned around and asked the foreign affairs secretary who had followed him with a smile, "But the seafood there must be excellent."
"Then you must be mistaken."
I thought the delegation would generally head south, or at least not this far north. I never expected this!
He only learned last night that the journey was not south, but north, heading straight for the port city of Rostock.
"In a city so reliant on shipbuilding and port trade, do you think the seafood would taste delicious?"
"Delicious may not be the case, but the flavor is definitely rich."
Li Xuewu smiled, put one hand in his coat pocket, and strode forward, looking as if he were walking with the wind.
The foreign affairs secretary gave him a disapproving look, took a deep breath, and quickly followed.
Unfortunately, the delegation was granted temporary organizational authority to visit and inspect any company in East Germany.
This was one of the few instances where East Germany showed such generosity in its reception of this visit.
Their previous cautious and awkward attitude had made everyone uncomfortable, but the East German friends said that it was just them and that everyone should not worry about them.
"The flavor is indeed very rich—"
Before entering the platform, the foreign affairs secretary reminded Li Xuewu, "Not far east of Rostock is the Nord Nuclear Power Plant, where the fish and shrimp taste even better."
"Hahaha—" Li Xuewu laughed heartily as he walked into the platform, saying without turning his head, "Hongxing Steel doesn't care about nuclear power plants, but Jingcheng Chemical is another story. If you know a lot about that place, you can introduce it to General Manager Zhu or Deputy Factory Director Bai."
The foreign affairs secretary was almost brought to his breaking point by his retort. He could only say such things to Li Xuewu; he would never utter such nonsense to anyone else.
However, it is true that the Nord nuclear power plant is located east of Rostock, in the city of Lubmin, and this plant provides most of the country's electricity.
It is precisely because of the Nord nuclear power plant that the Rostock region was able to develop a chemical industry, mainly based on nitrogen fertilizer, using imported raw materials.
Why did Beijing Chemical Industry set its sights on this place so quickly, as if injected with adrenaline, after Li Xuewu only mentioned it briefly?
Haha, if they can even get close, then Li Xuewu's trip to East Germany was for nothing.
However, with Beijing Chemical Company providing cover, and even using inspections of the nitrogen fertilizer and other chemical industries as a pretext, Hongxing Factory would be greatly helped.
The administrative divisions of East Germany were somewhat complex, mostly based on urban economic or industrial zones.
For example, the Rostock, Schwerin, and Neubrandenburg districts that Li Xuewu and his group were going to were all located near the sea, which was conducive to developing trade through seaports. Therefore, the boundaries were drawn by these three urban areas.
These three regions generally face challenges such as a lack of energy and mineral resources, sparse population, historically poor economic development, and a weak industrial base.
However, the opposite of lacking an industrial base is that agriculture plays a prominent role.
Despite the presence of nuclear power plants and nitrogen fertilizer industrial parks here, what economic service does fertilizer production serve?
That's right, agricultural economy.
These three regions account for one-quarter of the country's commercial meat and milk production.
Locals use agricultural products and fish for food processing, which accounts for one-fifth of the national food industry's output.
Despite its lack of industrial base, the region boasts a uniquely advantageous shipbuilding foundation and abundant power resources, making shipbuilding, electrical machinery manufacturing, and other related industries play a crucial role.
Rostock, the target city, is the country's largest seaport and the region's economic center. To reach the chosen destination, we must first go there.
***
"Hello, may I sit here?"
On the train, Li Xuewu and the others chose the hard seat area because they couldn't buy sleeper tickets.
Without a doubt, this is an old revolutionary base area where Marx and Engels once fought.
East Germany is now extremely powerful, and naturally, it suffers from the same problems as China.
Do you want to buy a sleeper ticket?
Sure, you need to have the right status to take a sleeper berth, right? You have to have made certain contributions to the country and socialism, right?
While Li Xuewu and his group's status might qualify them for such treatment, it seemed unreasonable for them to occupy all the premium carriages on the train.
Therefore, rather than causing more discrimination and disgust, it is better to "go among the masses" and choose to sit in an ordinary carriage.
Hard seats are really not that great. It's not worth it for them to buy sleeper berths. Who would sleep on the train?
Li Xuewu would, because he barely slept through the night last night.
The sudden, exceptionally soft voice made him open his eyes involuntarily. What bright and pure eyes they were!
A grey coat with a white fur collar hugged her graceful figure, making her look delicate and pretty.
Especially her bright and beautiful appearance; even without makeup, she possesses the elegance and beauty of snow outside a window.
Li Xuewu and his companions bought tickets for half a carriage, so they naturally sat at one end.
Because they all had black-haired, East German faces, the people on the other half of the train looked on curiously, but were unwilling to come over.
Only this girl.
Only the seats next to him and the one opposite him were empty, because the security personnel accompanying the group had gone to the two ends of the carriage.
"Of course, your French is very good."
Li Xuewu smiled and looked at her, asking, "How did you know I could understand French?"
"Excuse me—" The girl shyly tidied her golden hair behind her ear and answered after sitting down, "This is the only foreign language I know."
"Hehehe——"
Li Xuewu glanced at Sha Qizhi across from him with a light smile. Sha Qizhi stood up without making a sound and walked towards one end of the carriage.
"I'll sit there."
Seemingly intimidated by Li Xuewu's recently revealed profile, the girl said something sweetly and got up to sit opposite him.
This is not a good choice, because just now she was only facing that scarred face from the side, but now she's facing it directly.
She seemed genuinely afraid of him, keeping her head down after sitting down, looking at the book she had frantically pulled out of her bag.
Li Xuewu glanced at her, then closed his eyes slightly and continued to pretend to be asleep.
That's right, with people practically delivered to his doorstep, how could he possibly sleep soundly?
Damn it, this is never going to end!
You've already been slapped once, do you want to slap me again?
How did Shao Kang of Shanghai Electromechanical Co., Ltd. die? Others only know that something happened but can't figure out the reason. But can't he figure it out?
He didn't fall into the trap last night, but the hypocritical Shao Kang did.
Li Xuewu completely believed that Shao Kang had been nurtured and trusted by the organization for many years, but he didn't know how he had fallen into the trap.
The one last night was too strong, so they sent over a pure one today?
Look at the girl across from me, is this purely... purely fictional?
Li Xuewu ignored her, and she didn't dare to look at him either, so she stared intently at the textbook in her hand, putting on airs of youth.
As Sha Qizhi returned from the connecting area between the carriages, security personnel had just checked this side to confirm the appearance and condition of the girl on the other side.
At this time, train tickets were somewhat special. There were no strict rules about whether the ticket you bought was a seated or standing ticket, nor were there any rules about which seat you had to sit in.
In other words, Sha Qizhi, who had just gotten up and left, could only sit next to Li Xuewu or the little girl when he returned.
It's a bit odd that whoever sits in the seat gets to keep it.
Li Xuewu knew that Sha Qizhi had returned, but he still didn't open his eyes. He just wanted to know how long the girl opposite him could endure it.
Actually, the "Snow White" on the other side was also very anxious. "I've shown you how weak I am, why don't you talk to me?"
Based on the information my best friend brought back last night, this person is clearly not a good person, but rather the kind who has the desire to steal but not the courage to do so.
But now that they're far from Berlin, how can he still restrain himself? Doesn't he feel even the slightest impulse towards himself?
So what kind of person does he actually like?
My friend's unsuccessful attempt to get her to cooperate almost cost her the entire year's bonus, but luckily she made a good deal at the coffee shop downstairs.
He was a man from the East who loved coffee. The girl pretended to be unwell and fell into his arms.
He was a truly responsible man. The two somehow ended up together and were eventually photographed.
She cheered and celebrated, having received her plane ticket home, but she still had to take over this dreadful task.
That's right, as long as she can take down this person, she can get more bonus than her girlfriends, which is a necessary condition for the mission upgrade.
She likes taking on these kinds of tasks, even though these men are often good at putting on an act, they can be quite exciting when they go crazy.
As long as the other party can show his true nature, then her mission will be accomplished, and she won't have to face this old man for the next year... He's not old at all!
"Hu-hu-"
Huh? The snoring from across the room almost startled her so much that she dropped the book she'd forgotten to turn the page of. Yulia looked up, staring at the person opposite her in disbelief.
I'm sitting right here, and you're asleep?
If I were to rush from Berlin to the station in front of you by car just to catch the train and find you, wouldn't that be a wasted trip?
She seemed to have forgotten that she wasn't alone; her surprised and bewildered expression was completely seen through by Sagi.
The guards, who had been alerted by the sand artifact and were keeping an eye on the area, also noticed that something was wrong with her.
However, there is no quarantine zone here, and they have no right to expel the other party or ask them to move to another location.
The reason is simple: the other party did not show any obvious malice, nor did it disturb the rest of other passengers.
They are just ordinary passengers on this train, and have no reason to ask for more.
So, while the girl across from her was still surprised, several pairs of eyes were already fixed on her, which was a dangerous sign.
However, her messenger was unable to approach, as he discovered that the room was filled with black-haired, East Asian faces.
He hoped that Yulia could go straight into the lion's den and take down the celebrity from last night, but as a result, they were exposed as soon as they got in the car.
Why do I say we've been exposed? Just look at all the people in this car.
With half the carriage's gaze focused on such a small area, it was easy to spot who was acting guilty or had ulterior motives.
At this moment, he was furious with his superior. Why did he have to be in such a hurry and choose to meet with the other party on the train?
If they were in a different location, they might have even more room to maneuver, such as creating chance encounters in Rostock.
Now, Yulia is trapped inside and can't move, so he can't even go over to help her.
Because the other party is waiting for his arrival, that will be the key to closing the net, and he will be captured along with Yulia.
No, he had to break off contact with Julia; they couldn't both end up in this mess.
So the guards and sand-wielders waited for a long time, but no special person appeared. Could it be that the leader guessed wrong?
Is this girl just an ordinary college student?
"Okay, could you pour me a glass of water?"
Li Xuewu's snoring suddenly stopped, but he didn't open his eyes. He only gave an instruction to Sha Qizhi beside him.
Sha Qizhi opened the lid of the thermos and handed it to him.
Li Xuewu took it, then opened his eyes and slowly took a sip.
The girl opposite him was staring at his profile with surprise.
Looking at it this way, the shocking scar is no longer visible, and the man is still quite handsome.
It has an Eastern appearance, yet possesses a bright and serene spirit.
"Are you a student at the Technical University of Dresden?"
Li Xuewu glanced at the person opposite him; her schoolbag was on the small table, and he happened to see her student ID.
"Uh—that's how it is."
Yulia almost didn't realize that she was a student at the Technical University of Dresden—this was her new identity.
Without a doubt, one could find her student record at the Technical University of Dresden at this time, and perhaps even classmates who knew her.
"Don't you have classes?" Li Xuewu asked casually, glancing at her. "You have classes today, right?"
