Dong Qiangqiang knew without thinking that Duanmu must have gone to seek confirmation from his girlfriend and waited patiently by the phone quietly.
He also wanted to know whether he was overthinking it or whether it was really the case.
He thought that Duanmu would call back soon, but just like what happened before, Duanmu's call didn't arrive until Dong Qiangqiang, who was led by Lao Bai and others, returned in the last week of August.
The lack of call back confirmed Dong Qiangqiang's worries in a sense, and he knew he had to consider the next step.
The reception banquet was still as usual, held at the "Big Beef Bones" that everyone liked.
In addition to Tong Lele and Lei Lanting, who returned with Lao Bai, there was also Ding Haifeng, who was temporarily "recruited" to replace Dong Qiangqiang this time. Dong Qiangqiang called He Yuanjin, Lu Shan and Dong Yiqing who also had to take the make-up exam. It happened that Wang Shunan returned to Hannover from Kiel Port to visit the Countess. She had already planned to treat everyone to a meal, so Dong Qiangqiang also greeted her.
After meeting, Dong Qiangqiang was shocked. Lao Bai and others all had more than one black mark, even Tong Lele, who had the fairest skin among them, also had black skin visibly blackened to the naked eye. Lei Lanting was the most exaggerated. He transformed from a fair and handsome man to a young boy from the south. Not only was he dark, but he also lost a lot of weight. People who didn't know it thought he was already so thin and was just tanned.
In addition to tanning, the three boys' bodies were more or less wrapped in gauze and band-aids.
While waiting for the meal, Dong Qiangqiang introduced Lu Shan to everyone, and then carefully looked at the group of people: "I remember you went to Europe, am I wrong? You actually went to the Middle East?"
There was a burst of good-natured laughter from everyone, and the atmosphere was as warm and harmonious as ever. The dim light fell evenly on everyone's face, and everyone was as quiet and peaceful as the characters in the oil painting.
The waiter placed everyone's drinks on the table one by one and then quietly left.
"Forget it, we might as well go to Africa." Lei Lanting couldn't wait to pick up one of the cooler bottles of Golden Baker beer, raised his head and took a big sip, then wiped the beer dripping from the corner of his mouth with a bitter smile, "Old Dong, You won’t believe it if I tell you, this time it’s like going to the West to seek Buddhist scriptures, fighting monsters and ghosts all the way, it’s just..."
"Can't you?" Dong Qiangqiang asked suspiciously, "Lele sends me your itinerary every day. I remember that every day is quite normal. I didn't hear her say anything bad happened to you."
"Hehe, that's because she was afraid that your writing on the official website would affect our reputation, so she didn't tell you. Hey, Lele, if I don't believe it, please tell me if what I said is right..." Lei Lanting waved his hands and commanded. road.
Tong Lele might be tired. She pushed her hair back and looked at Lao Bai with a smile without saying a word, her eyes full of sweetness.
Dong Qiangqiang took in all this and was secretly happy for Lao Bai and Tong Lele. His intuition told him that their relationship must have taken another step forward.
"Lei Lanting is right. I asked Lele not to tell you." Lao Bai picked up the bottle and touched it lightly with Ding Haifeng, who was sitting across the seat. The bottle made a crisp sound immediately, " I didn’t think about it at the time, but now that I’m back, I just have a chat with everyone before deciding whether to put it on the website.”
When the people who were not leading the tour heard the stories here, they all held their breath and raised their ears.
Lao Bai said quietly: "On the day we arrived in Italy, we encountered car smashers, thieves, and fake policemen again. Of course, these were similar to the last time you went to Italy. It's just that we encountered a little more this time, but Fortunately, we are aware of precautions, and Lao Ding and Lao Lei are also very good, so there is no danger, and the team members have no losses. Uh, by the way, I remember you calling me on the day of the accident... …”
Dong Qiangqiang shook involuntarily as if he had been whipped. He was surprised that he would react like this.
But Lao Bai and others obviously didn't notice this, and they only heard him say again: "After we stayed in the hotel that night, Lei Lanting came back in the middle of the night and saw..."
"Come back in the middle of the night?" Dong Yiqing interrupted and asked.
Dong Qiangqiang unconsciously thought of Lei Lanting's departure without saying goodbye that night. Could it be that he... He couldn't help but glance at Lei Lanting. Lei Lanting happened to be looking at him too. Their eyes met. Lei Lanting suddenly blushed and coughed violently. , which attracted everyone's attention, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.
Lei Lanting knew what Dong Qiangqiang was thinking, and pointed at the beer embarrassedly and complained: "Ahem, it's not what you thought. I... accidentally... choked. Hey, old Bai, can you speak clearly at once? Is it ok?"
"Did someone... steal the car?" He Yuanjin leaned on Tong Lele's shoulder and asked tremblingly.
Lao Bai took a sip of wine and slowly put down the bottle: "The parking lot is behind the hotel. I asked Lao Lei to check if there was any problem with the car in the middle of the night. It turned out that the car was fine, but something happened to the person."
A girl let out a small exclamation.
"What happened to the person?" Dong Qiangqiang asked, "Are the people who smashed the car or the thief still following you?"
"None of them." Lao Bai shook his head, "Someone escaped in the middle of the night."
"Run away?" He Yuanjin didn't understand the reason and looked at Lao Bai blankly, with an innocent look on his face, "Aren't they here to travel? Why are they running away? Where are they running to?"
Dong Qiangqiang understood instantly, turned to Lei Lanting and asked, "So you went to stop them?"
Lei Lanting nodded and made a gesture: "A thirty-year-old couple wants to run away."
"When Lao Lei went to stop the person, the hotel front desk called me and asked me to go down and handle the situation. Of course, I told the hotel about this in advance and tipped the front desk people. They are quite reliable." Lao Bai explained, "Lao Ding and I put on our clothes and went downstairs, thinking of persuading people to go back first, and we would wait until daybreak to discuss other matters."
As soon as Lao Bai said this, he heard Lei Lanting answer impatiently: "But God is not as good as God. Before they even reached the hotel door, I was in trouble."
He Yuanjin had never thought that leading a group would be such a dangerous thing before. His heart was already clenched. He grabbed Tong Lele's clothes nervously with both hands and asked, "What's the trouble? Please tell me quickly."
"There is someone on the other side to help." Lei Lanting said as he put his gauze-wrapped arm on the dining table. Under the dim light, Dong Qiangqiang noticed a faint red dot on the gauze, which seemed to be blood stains. gauze.
"The snakehead is here?" Dong Qiangqiang asked.
Lei Lanting sighed: "Not only are they here, but five of them are here."
Dong Qiangqiang thought to himself: Lao Bai and the others had a slim chance of winning with three against five snakeheads.
"Then what?" He Yuanjin was very concerned about the development of the situation.
"The smuggler wants to make money, and we can't let him go. If it doesn't make sense, just take action." Lei Lanting curled his lips and said disdainfully, "If you can't do it with literature, then use martial arts. My point of view has always been, if you can do it well, don't do it." Yelling."
