V4C161 – Thrilling Moment (1/2)

“That won’t be very good……” Owens didn’t want to take any money from me, taking my money was something no one would dare do!

“It’s nothing, Mr. Owens. You need not be worried about anything, money doesn’t mean anything to me. Since you know my status, you should also know my official identity, right? Do you believe I will care about money?” I said with a smile.

“Yeah, it’s just me who was being stingy! Since that is the case, Mr. Liu, I have no alternative but to give face to you. I can only ask Curry to handle the matter with diligence and hard work to repay your favor!” Owens nodded and said what I was willing to accept as well.

“That is to be expected! Since Mr. Liu has given us so much face, I can’t be too greedy either. The deposit that you have paid is already good enough, there is no need for anything more!” Curry immediately followed suit and said.

I didn’t insist on anything again either since everyone was happy now.

At this time, Mark was still lost in a fog as he couldn’t understand just what the heck happened before him. From the beginning to the end, all he could infer from the situation was that I was some rich man! But that was something he had already known.

Under Owens’s supervision, White Horse Gang violently ran here and there in the entirety of Venice, going into all the hotels and gathering information.

Sometimes, it was easier for low-level gangs like theirs to handle matters like this since they were closer to the public.

Suddenly, all the hotels in Venice saw the members of the White Horse Gang going around, asking for the required information. The hotel owners thought that the Chinese family must have offended someone important from the White Horse Gang and were now wanted by them!

At this time, Yang Mei’s father, Yang Xiong, went to the vending machine downstairs at his hotel to get a pack of cigarettes. When he bought the pack, he saw several men in black suits standing at the reception, talking to the receptionist. Right at that moment, he saw the receptionist look towards him meaningfully. Yang Xiong didn’t know Italian, so he could obviously not understand what they were talking about, but his years of experience told him that he had to stay wary in the outside world. The lady’s look was obviously not in good will!

Yang Xiong felt that whatever those people were talking about definitely had something to do with them (him and his family)! Thinking of this, Yang Xiong didn’t dare be negligent and immediately returned to his room and told everything he saw to Li Xiaohong and Yang Mei!

Yang Mei also thought that it was strange. It was possible that they had been staying in a hotel owned by gangsters. Because of this, Yang Mei decided to cautiously go downstairs and see what was going on before they decided what to do. Yang Mei came to the lobby downstairs just to see the lobby manager and three men in black suits talking about something!

Yang Mei quickly hid behind a pillar and pricked up her ears to listen to their conversation. Because of the distance, Yang Mei couldn’t clearly listen to what they were saying. She could vaguely hear them say “three Chinese, two women and one man…” something like that. Yang Mei was shocked! The only Chinese living in this hotel were them, there were no other Chinese here. Could it be as her father had thought and these people were planning something to harm them?

Yang Mei had seen posts and reports regarding tourists going missing in foreign countries on the Internet. The scariest story was of a girl who had been captured and had her arms and feet chopped off by a gang. She was later put in a circus troupe to perform before people!

There were also reports of people secretly getting killed for their organs. When she thought of these things, Yang Mei was terrified. Although Yang Mei just had a few months to live, she didn’t want to die a death so horrible!

Once she had heard those words, there wasn’t anything else for her to listen to. She quickly returned to her room and concisely explained what she heard to her parents. Li Xiaohong was immediately scared after she listened to her daughter’s words. Yang Xiong was still calm. Together, the three decided that this wasn’t a place they should stay for too long. Maybe, they really ended up getting into the legendary bandit’s den! {TL: Bandit’s den >> A place where gangs converge.}

Yang Mei’s family wasn’t very wealthy, even the money that Yang Mei had saved from her earnings over the years wasn’t a very large amount. So, in order to visit as many places as they could, they had made careful calculations. Venice was just their first stop, so it was obvious that they went to a very standard hotel where the security was naturally not very trustworthy.

As for the deposit, they didn’t have any thoughts of getting it back. Since it was gone, it was gone, their personal safety was far more important! As a result, Yang Mei’s family quickly packed up their luggage and decided to immediately leave from the hotel’s back door.
