Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Although Lao Bai told him to go there immediately, the first thing that popped into Dong Qiangqiang's mind was not where he should go to find Lao Bai, but Duanmu's words, which even surprised him.

But he was surprised for a few seconds, and then he immediately thought that Lao Bai would not call him in the middle of the night for no reason, not to mention that he was still a small shareholder of Lebai in China. Even if his relationship with Lao Bai was average, if the major shareholder really encountered something As a small shareholder, he really couldn't let go of this difficult matter, but he first had to figure out what made Lao Bai so anxious.

He immediately called Lao Bai back and thought about how he would get there once Lao Bai explained the reason clearly and gave the address.

If you are in a hurry and want to leave immediately, driving is undoubtedly the most convenient option. He pulled out the European map he used when leading the group and found that the distance between Trier and Paris was more than 400 kilometers. This did not include the fact that he had to rush to Lao Bai's location after entering Paris. Even if he knew the location He could also take the express train all the way, and it would probably take more than four hours to get there, which was considered fast, so driving was definitely not the optimal solution for him right now.

If you don't think about driving, then you don't need to think about renting a car. What's more, tomorrow is the Easter holiday, and the car rental agencies in the city are on holiday like other companies.

What if it's a train? He remembered that apart from the slow trains that departed in the morning and arrived at night, the earliest high-speed train to Paris and passed through Trier was either at six or seven o'clock. It seemed that it would take less than four hours to reach the Gare de l'Est, so it should be the fastest. How to get there.

The biggest advantage of taking a train compared to driving is that you can free your hands. Although the Internet is not available on the train, he can concentrate on sorting out all the information he printed yesterday. If he still has time, he can even continue to research stocks.

If he decided to take the train, he would have to prepare to leave after 5 o'clock so that he could arrive at the train station before 6 o'clock. However, he had to arrange some things first before setting off.

Lao Bai seemed to have disappeared, and the phone could never be connected.

Dong Qiangqiang pulled up the call records and found that Zheng Chunhua's missed call was from early in the morning. It was only 3:15 now. It was not appropriate to call back. It was better to wait until dawn. When he arrived at the train station, it was already dawn, and he happened to ask Zheng Chunhua if he knew anything. After all, Zheng Chunhua was the first person to contact him about the situation during the seven-nation tour.

His highest priority to-do list right now, apart from pre-study, was to help the landlord catch wild boars. Since he couldn't sleep, he simply got dressed and started making noodles before waking up.

Before the noodles had risen, he boiled the horse chestnuts until they were as mashed as possible, then mashed them into a paste and added them to the stuffing. He had never used horse chestnuts as stuffing before, and he was very curious at this time whether horse chestnuts would also have an effect on wild boars, just like when he was beaten.

When the dough was ready, he replicated yesterday's production process, filling the dough bit by bit with the stuffing, carefully pouring in the vodka, and then quickly rolling it into balls.

After the vegetable and meatballs were steamed, he poured all the sesame oil into a stainless steel basin, then put the steamed meatballs into the basin and soaked them thoroughly to let the meatballs fully absorb the flavor. This process reminded him of the happy time when he first arrived in Hanover. .

By the time it was dawn, version 2.0 of the bait had already landed in the same place as yesterday.

Regardless of whether they are Chinese elderly or foreign elderly, it is easy to get up early as they get older. The landlord also got up very early, but when he got up, he saw Dong Qiangqiang busy in the kitchen alone, and then cooked up a large pot of vegetables and meatballs and brought it out of the house. After placing the bait, Dong Qiangqiang returned to the kitchen and asked the landlord for leave, explaining that he would be out for a few days. If he was lucky enough to catch a wild boar today, he suggested that the landlord tie up the four hooves of the wild boar before locking it in the tool room to prevent it from sobering up. The wild boar made a big fuss in the backyard and hurt people. After locking it up, he immediately notified a hunter or the police to take away the wild boar. After explaining, he left a thick hemp rope for the landlord to tie up the wild boar.

After taking the map and various printed reading materials, Dong Qiangqiang went out before six o'clock. There were no people and no cars on the road in the early morning. The road was filled with a light white mist and the fog that had not cleared up after a night. The smell of sulfur seemed like last night's carnival lasted for a long time.

He quickly arrived at the train station and successfully bought a high-speed train ticket that would leave before 7 o'clock and arrive at the Gare de l'Est in Paris before 11 o'clock.

He then called Zheng Chunhua and asked her what she wanted from him last night. Zheng Chunhua's voice sounded like she was in a hurry. After chatting for a few words, Dong Qiangqiang realized that Zheng Chunhua was actually taking the same bus to Paris with him.

Dong Qiangqiang asked Lao Bai what happened again. Zheng Chunhua said that the girl who called her last time called her again last night. Although it was the same person, there were differences between the two calls: the last time she called, she was emotionally stable and the narrative was clear. , but this time she was crying while being beaten. She kept talking intermittently and sobbing for a long time without explaining why she was crying. She only said that Zheng Chunhua had to come to Paris, otherwise the matter would not end well if it got too big.

Zheng Chunhua wanted to ask Lao Bai the reason, but the call was rejected. It wasn't until she contacted two or three more members that she roughly knew the whole story. She immediately thought of communicating with Dong Qiangqiang, but Dong Qiangqiang's cell phone was never answered. She wanted to ride a motorcycle to Paris, but the motorcycle had been having minor problems recently and she was worried about breaking down on the road. Zheng Chunhua, like Dong Qiangqiang, finally decided to go by train. She originally planned to go there by herself and call Dong Qiangqiang on the way.

Hearing that Zheng Chunhua was also going to Paris, Dong Qiangqiang felt that something was unusual this time and was even more curious. Zheng Chunhua said that she couldn't explain a word or two on the phone, and she would be at the train station in a while. The details would be discussed after meeting.

Dong Qiangqiang had no choice but to put away his curiosity and tentatively contact Du Lan first.

Du Lan was woken up while she was dazed in her sleep. When she heard that it was Dong Qiangqiang, he just wanted to act coquettishly, but then he told her not to come to Trier yet. Something happened with Lao Bai again and he had to go to Paris today. Du Lan asked what happened to Lao Bai. Dong Qiangqiang said he didn't know yet, but he would know it soon. Du Lan asked again if he wanted her to come too, but Dong Qiangqiang refused without hesitation: "You have prepared a make-up exam during the winter vacation. Take advantage of the holiday to take a good rest for a few days, otherwise school will start again. Du Lan told him to be careful and contact him at any time."

It was rare for the high-speed train to not be late, and the two met quickly. After sitting down, Dong Qiangqiang couldn't wait to ask the question that had been lingering in his mind since early morning: What happened in Paris? Could it be that another driver ran away?

Zheng Chunhua's answer was: "No, the driver this time is Lao Bai. He can't run away."

"what is that?"

"He...was...beaten by others," Zheng Chunhua hesitated for a few seconds, "Of course this is what I heard. The truth will only be known in Paris."

"Then where should we find him?"

"A police station in the same neighborhood as the Champs Elysées. Your phone is ringing." (End of Chapter)
