Chapter 1075: 749 Sicily_2

Fang Weiguo isn’t one to stubbornly save face and suffer for it. Once he realizes his mistake, he corrects it,

"I know now, Italy was with the little devils before, the fascists."

"Dad, you’re pretty well-informed."

Seeing that he didn’t make a mistake this time, Fang Weiguo was quite pleased with himself, "Don’t underestimate your dad, I always got first place when I was studying back in the day."

"Then why didn’t you become a college student? Just a middle school diploma without even graduating?"

Regardless of their daughter’s presence, Pan Hui mercilessly exposed her husband’s past.

"Wasn’t it because our family was poor? Do you think our daughter is so smart because of whose genes?"

"You think she got it from you? Fang Weiguo, how old are you and still no shame."

The parents, who had been bickering all their lives, did not change even after going abroad, but this time, Fang Qing didn’t try to stop them, instead, she was fanning the flames.

"Mom, what diploma do you have?"

Pan Hui was rendered speechless and glared at her in annoyance.

"Your mom, she’s a grade schooler."

Fang Weiguo burst into hearty laughter.

Pan Hui, now angry and embarrassed, immediately resorted to her unfailing trick and twisted her husband’s waist.

Fang Weiguo grimaced in pain, begging for mercy quickly.

Fang Qing, with a smile, hailed a taxi on the roadside.

"Should we hire a tour guide?"

Sitting in the car, Pan Hui couldn’t help but ask.

Her lottery win only included the plane tickets and the hotel stay; everything else would have to be paid for out of pocket.

"Mom, I’ve got it covered, I’ve already put together a travel plan."

"You’re really something, our daughter is so outstanding, why would we need a guide?"

Fang Weiguo took pride in his daughter from a young age.

Not being able to communicate can indeed make travel abroad very difficult, but to Fang Qing, this is naturally not an issue.

"Look at that, those buildings are really beautiful."

Sitting in the taxi, they took in the fleeting street views outside the window.

"Everyone says how great it is abroad, but I don’t see much of a difference," Pan Hui said.

"If we’re talking about prosperity, there are hardly any countries in the world that can surpass Shenzhou now, but mom, don’t you feel that there’s a different vibe here compared to back home?"

Pan Hui nodded subconsciously.

The taxi leisurely traveled along the streets of Sicily.

While chatting with her parents, Fang Qing also admired the scenery outside the car.

It was the first trip abroad for her parents, and for her likewise.

Suddenly, her gaze flicked to the rear-view mirror, and she frowned slightly. Then her eyes lingered on the mirror.

After about ten seconds, she spoke in standard inflection to the driver, "Please take a left at the next intersection."

"Lady, you need to go straight to reach your destination."

The driver reminded her straightforwardly.

"It’s okay, we’re just sightseeing."

Fang Qing and her family, with their distinctive Asian appearance, were obviously tourists, so the driver didn’t say any more. As they reached the intersection, he turned the steering wheel and deviated from the planned route.

Unaware of the unusual situation, Pan Hui and her husband continued chatting.

Fang Qing kept her eyes on the rear-view mirror, "Take the next right."

"Right turn."

Following Fang Qing’s instructions, the driver took the family of three on a tour through the streets of Sicily. A journey that would normally take barely twenty minutes was prolonged to almost an hour.

"Is this city that big? Why has it taken us so long?"

After getting off and paying the fare, Pan Hui whispered in confusion.

"Yeah, is this driver taking advantage of us because we are foreigners?" Fang Weiguo also couldn’t help but ask.

"I told them to drive like this. It’s good to get familiar with the surroundings when we’ve just arrived, isn’t it?"

Hearing their daughter’s explanation, the couple didn’t press further.

"This hotel isn’t bad at all."

Not some cramped and decrepit small inn, the hotel provided by Commercial Union Bank, as a perk for their clients, was indeed quite sincere in its offerings, boasting a decor with a medieval style that greatly satisfied Fang Weiguo as they entered.

"Qing Qing, go and check in."

After glancing around, Pan Hui noticed her daughter was still standing aside and couldn’t help urging her.

"Mom, wait a moment."

Wait a moment?

Wait for what?

"What’s the matter?"

Fang Weiguo looked puzzled, "Isn’t this the hotel?"

"It is this hotel."

Fang Qing didn’t explain but led her parents, luggage in tow, to the waiting area.

"Dad, Mom, let’s sit for a while."

Fang Weiguo and his wife were baffled, they exchanged glances and stayed silent without further questioning.

The daughter is now an adult, even traveling abroad, they all rely on her.

The family probably sat for over ten minutes.

Two uniformed police officers walked in.

"Mom and dad, you guys sit first."

Fang Weiguo and his wife didn’t give it much thought at first, but then they realized their daughter had stood up and walked over, leaving them somewhat dumbfounded.

Fang Qing approached the two police officers and began to communicate with them.

Fang Weiguo and his wife looked at each other, their faces full of confusion.

A few minutes later, Fang Qing came back.

The two police officers left.

"What happened?"

Pan Hui immediately asked.

"Nothing, just a registration."

Fang Qing replied with an easy smile.

"What registration?"

"Like us foreigners traveling to Sicily, we all have to register with the local police."

Of course, Fang Weiguo and his wife wouldn’t know these rules. They wouldn’t doubt what their daughter said and immediately relieved their minds.

"Let’s go check into the hotel."

"Mom and dad, wait for me for a moment."

Fang Qing walked towards the front desk.

Because the bank information had been confirmed, she was provided with two rooms, and they were suites with interior and exterior spaces.

Fang Qing dragged her suitcase into her room, closed the door, and the relaxed smile on her face instantly disappeared.

She temporarily placed the suitcase in the living room and walked over to the window, looking down.

Not as busy as Capital City’s constant traffic, there were cars passing by from time to time on the street; it was fairly quiet and seemed to have nothing out of the ordinary.

But Fang Qing knew very well that her judgment was not wrong.

On the way to the hotel, there was clearly a car following them. She casually had the driver change directions, yet the other car still followed them on the same route.

What kind of coincidence was that?

So, on the car ride, Fang Qing had made a call to the police, and because it was in a foreign language, her parents couldn’t understand.

Fang Qing didn’t want to worry her parents, so she lied.

But her good mood for the trip had mostly dissipated because of this incident.

Why would someone be stalking her in a foreign land?

Fang Qing couldn’t figure it out, but she believed the police would give her an answer.

As a lawyer, her vigilance was something ordinary people could not match. After standing by the window for a while, Fang Qing’s mood slightly improved, and then she went to organize her luggage.

Carrying her suitcase to the bedroom, Fang Qing looked over the room’s facilities and then opened the suitcase, hanging up her clothes.

After everything was done, she sat on the bed, took out her mobile phone, and opened Mr. Jiang’s chat window.

"I’ve arrived."

She was about to send a message of safety, but before she could send the two characters, there was a knock at the door.

Fang Qing put away her phone, stood up from the bedroom, went to the door, and pulled it open.

She thought it was her parents, but it wasn’t.

It wasn’t hotel staff either.

It was a hard-faced Westerner, his eyes indifferent, looking at her as if she were an object, devoid of any excess emotion.

Fang Qing’s heart suddenly tightened, and without a word, she immediately tried to close the door,

but it was too late.

A hand had already firmly held the door open.

But her good mood for the trip had greatly diminished due to this episode.

Why would someone be stalking her in a foreign land?

Fang Qing couldn’t figure it out, but she believed the police would give her an answer.

Truly a lawyer, her vigilance was beyond the ordinary people. After standing by the window for a while, Fang Qing’s mood slightly improved, and then she proceeded to organize her luggage.

Carrying her suitcase to the bedroom, Fang Qing looked over the room’s facilities and then opened the suitcase, hanging up her clothes.

After everything was done, she sat on the bed, took out her mobile phone, and opened Mr. Jiang’s chat window.

"I’ve arrived."

She was about to send a safety message, but before she could send out the two characters, there was a knock at the door.

Fang Qing put away her phone, stood up from the bedroom, went to the door, and pulled it open.

She thought it was her parents, but it wasn’t.

It also wasn’t hotel staff.

But a hard-faced Westerner, his gaze detached as if he were looking at an object, devoid of any additional emotion.

Fang Qing’s heart instantly constricted, and without uttering another word, she immediately tried to shut the door,

but she was too late.

A hand had already held the door firmly in place.
