Everyone left the wishing fountain and came to the Pantheon with laughter and joy.
Tong Lele told Dong Qiangqiang that she likes to walk along the cobblestone streets, enjoying all the scenery along the way while imagining life during the ancient Roman Empire.
Dong Qiangqiang noticed that when she said these words, her eyes were not looking at the team members or the scenery on the roadside, but at Lao Bai, the leader of the team.
When there is no need to introduce scenic spots, Lao Bai rarely talks.
The Pantheon is one of the best-preserved monuments in ancient Rome. It was designed by the statesman Marcus Agrippa. Construction began in 25-27 AD and was completed during the reign of Emperor Hadrian. The main hall has a cylindrical hall and a huge dome. It is magnificent in scale and is considered to be the temple of the Roman gods. The building's name is derived from the Greek words pan and theos. The original Pantheon was destroyed in a fire in 80 AD and rebuilt by Emperor Domitian until it was burned down again in 110 AD. The Pantheon in Rome is the most documented monument: in addition to being one of the best-preserved Roman monuments and the largest brick dome in the history of architecture, it is also the most copied and imitated of all ancient works. It is also the final resting place for many great artists, such as the outstanding artist Rafael Sanzio.
What Dong Qiangqiang didn't expect was that the group of people followed them to the Pantheon.
This is kind of interesting.
Dong Qiangqiang guessed that they might have been targeted by the other party. He was not afraid, more curious.
At first, he thought that the people holding the flags were all "three-handed" people who wanted to catch each other, but after careful observation for a long time, he did not find that these people had any intention of stealing anything. But it was not stolen. Those few people did not introduce the situation of the Pantheon to their own members, but invariably came to Dong Qiangqiang's different members and whispered softly. Although the two parties did not have a very happy conversation, Dong Qiangqiang's members did not seem to have any objection to the other party's actions. This surprised Dong Qiangqiang. He couldn't help but get behind the speaker and try to eavesdrop on what the other person was saying. However, these people seemed to have eyes behind them. Whenever Dong Qiangqiang and Lao Bai approached, they immediately stopped talking. , walked to other places as if nothing happened, or chatted with his group members.
As the saying goes, abnormality is demon. Dong Qiangqiang suspected that these people were not thieves, but colleagues who came to steal customers. While everyone was dispersed to watch the Pantheon, he dragged Lao Zheng outside the main hall and asked what the man had just said to him.
Lao Zheng looked around vigilantly, making sure that no one was paying attention to him before quietly replying: "He just asked me if I wanted to immigrate."
"Immigrate?" This answer was far beyond Dong Qiangqiang's expectation. He had been on guard against his members escaping, but he didn't expect that before any of his own members could escape, someone came to solicit customers. "How to move?" he asked.
"He didn't tell me the specifics. He just said that as long as I pay him 5,000 euros, I can get a legal status in Italy or Spain within a week. From now on, I will be a European and can enter and exit the EU freely." Old Zheng swallowed, "Also He said it would be paid in two installments, with a deposit of 2,500, and the balance would be paid when you get your passport. He said he had just applied for several people yesterday."
"How did you answer him?" Dong Qiangqiang stared into Lao Zheng's eyes and asked.
"Me?" Lao Zheng said "hehe", showing his yellow teeth, "I said I won't move..."
"I think you two had a great chat just now." Dong Qiangqiang didn't believe what Old Zheng said, "Master Zheng, I have to remind you that you will return to China tomorrow, so it's best not to have such messy thoughts. Those people may not be smugglers but They are human traffickers, and they will sell you Africa and dig out rocks for you before you can even cry..." Dong Qiangqiang threatened.
"Xiao Dong, I know what you are saying," Lao Zheng said with a smile, "and I told him that my wife and children are all in China and there is no way to move them."
Dong Qiangqiang thought to himself: What Lao Zheng said was not like rejecting the other party, but more like bargaining with the other party, so he asked again: "What next?"
"Then he told me to think about it again and left. Then you pulled me out of it." Old Zheng said plausibly.
Before Dong Qiangqiang could ask further questions, he heard Lao Bai's angry shout from not far away.
When Lao Zheng and Dong Qiangqiang heard the sound, they looked up and saw Lao Bai being surrounded by three people holding flags. The leader was slightly taller than Lao Bai. Although the other party did not take action, under the attack of three people, Lao Bai could not move even with his crutches.
There was no fear in Lao Bai's eyes, and the veins on his forehead were looming. Dong Qiangqiang saw that Lao Bai seemed to have said something to him.
The leader waved the small flag in his hand, looked at Lao Bai and replied a few words at the same time, but Dong Qiangqiang was some distance away from them and could not hear the conversation between the two parties at all.
I saw Lao Bai raising his eyebrows and opening and closing his lips, as if he was scolding the other party. The other party showed a disdainful expression on his face, waved the flag in his hand, and the other two people blocking Lao Bai immediately stepped back. As soon as Lao Bai turned his head, the leader deliberately hit Lao Bai on the shoulder with his arm.
Lao Bai was hit by the attack inadvertently. He staggered due to the collision and uncontrollably took several steps back, bumping into another foreign man.
The uncle saw that Lao Bai had gray hair and didn't care about him. He just advised him kindly: "Oh, young man, be careful, be careful."
The three people holding the flag looked at each other with a proud smile and walked toward the tourists in a proud manner.
Dong Qiangqiang left Lao Zheng behind, separated from the crowd and walked quickly towards Lao Bai.
When he arrived, the three people had already gone to another corner of the temple, whispering to other tourists, but looking in the direction of Lao Bai and Dong Qiangqiang from time to time.
"Are you hurt?" Dong Qiangqiang looked at Lao Bai with an ugly face with concern, "What did you say just now?"
"He asked me to do something convenient," Lao Baiyun took a breath and stared at the backs of those people and said, "I told them to get away."
"I asked Lao Zheng, these people should be smugglers, trying to lure tourists to cross the border here." Dong Qiangqiang confessed his worries, "We have to be more careful."
"That's right." Lao Bai agreed, "These people have been following us for so long, and they won't give up easily without getting any benefits. Immediately warn all members not to have any contact with each other anymore, and any suspects will be handed over directly to Italian police.”
"Should we inform the consulate and the police now?" Dong Qiangqiang was worried that Lao Zheng was being naughty. "After all, Lei Lanting paid a lot of deposits to the travel agency, just in case..."
Lao Bai thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Now that the horoscope has not been written, even if there is no evidence, I'm afraid I won't be able to arrest the person, and if I arrest him, I won't be able to judge him. In the end, I will just scare the snake, which is all in vain."
Dong Qiangqiang understood that Lao Bai meant that he wanted to adapt to changes, and nodded in response: "Okay, I will go and warn all members not to act rashly."
