Chapter 1090: Through the Distance, We Share This Moment

If Italy is a gentleman full of artistic flavor, then the neighboring France is a multifaceted lady, with each city emanating a different charm.

Lyon.

The Festival of Lights that arrives punctually at this time of the year.

Like the tourists around them, Mr. and Mrs. Fang Weiguo were deeply captivated by the well-produced high-tech light show, unable to extricate themselves.

"I’ve arrived in France."

"Uh-huh, I have friends in France, I know the Chief of Police in Paris, definitely safer than in Italy."

Jiang Chen wasn’t boasting.

After all, K.E’s headquarters were located in France.

Fang Qing, who according to the prize itinerary should have been in Italy at this time, looked at her parents, who were watching the light show with beaming smiles, and whispered while holding her phone, "What a great fuss for me, just an ordinary citizen, I’m flattered."

Jiang Chen stopped trying to deceive her.

At this point, the true nature of the prize that fell from the sky was crystal clear.

It confirmed an old saying.

Pies never fall from the sky.

What you think is a pie might actually be a poison that dooms you forever.

"Try to look at it from a different angle, it also adds a different kind of fun to the journey."

"You’re quite good at comforting others."

Fang Qing revealed a wry smile and then asked, "My phone isn’t being monitored, is it?"

Even such a grand prize could be fabricated, monitoring her phone didn’t seem too outrageous.

Jiang Chen stood on the balcony.

In the kitchen.

Mother and daughter Li Shuru were preparing ingredients for the New Year’s Eve dinner, no different from thousands of other households.

"It’s not that mysterious."

Jiang Chen smiled and added, "Even if there is, there’s probably not enough energy to do it at the moment."

Fang Qing didn’t probe further.

"Since the itinerary has changed, might as well extend our trip."

"Are you covering the expenses?"

Because they didn’t follow the planned prize route, all the current expenses were out of pocket.

Of course.

Their parents knew nothing about it.

"No problem, just remember to get a receipt."

Jiang Chen spoke earnestly.

Fang Qing smiled.

She, of course, understood that she was probably an unwelcome person in her own country now.

"Alright, let me know when we can return."

Jiang Chen grinned.

"No more chatting, off to see the light show."

She put down the phone.

"Sister Fang Qing?"

Li Shuru approached her.

"Yeah."

"She’s traveling abroad?"

"Yes, with her parents."

"Sister Fang Qing is really filial," Li Shuru smiled.

"Her? She’s been an all-around top student since she was young, go to her house and you’ll see, the walls are full of certificates."

Li Shuru smiled, "I really would like to go."

Jiang Chen raised his hand and lightly flicked her tall nose, "You’re not really interested in the wine, are you?"

"Not welcome?"

"How could that be."

Jiang Chen quickly denied, "Had I known earlier, we could have gone to Sha City for the New Year. Should we tell Aunt Xue now?"

Li Shuru gave him a sideways glance.

"Not a bit of sincerity."

"Little Jiang, come take a look, why won’t the gas light?"

Aunt Xue’s call came from the kitchen.

"Coming."

Jiang Chen immediately headed for the kitchen.

Just like a dutiful son-in-law, without a hint of arrogance.

New Year’s festivities.

A time for family joy.

Yet, some are in dismal plight.

Somewhere in Sicily.

A room with only one vent.

Luo Long, who used to control his turf, was trapped in a small cage that was only tall enough for him to kneel and not able to straighten his back.

Though he had not suffered inhumane torture, this mental torment was excruciating.

By comparison.

Fernando, also a captive, was in a slightly better situation, not treated like a dog, he was given a plank bed.

"Bang!"

Luo Long, who had not rested for who knows how long, struck the iron cage forcefully once more, his eyes bloodshot, matching his dishevelled, grimy appearance, truly resembling a trapped wild beast.

"Fernando! Won’t you think of a way?!"

There were only two people in the room.

Fernando, sitting on the plank bed with his eyes closed, didn’t respond.

Under such circumstances, a normal person definitely would not be able to sleep.

The twitching of the mafia boss’s eyelids proved he was very much awake.

No translator present, Luo Long’s words were incomprehensible to him, but communication between people sometimes doesn’t need the medium of language.

In this situation, it wasn’t hard to guess what Luo Long was muttering and trying to convey.

As a high-ranking figure of the local underworld, falling into such a plight, compared to a foreigner like Luo Long, Fernando’s emotions were undoubtedly much more turbulent.

But for someone at this level, emotional control was almost exceedingly abnormal.

In such a case, venting anger apart from showcasing one’s incapability, served no purpose.

After being captured, Fernando had been pondering one question.

Who exactly were their captors?

"Bang bang bang bang bang..."

Luo Long kept shaking the iron cage.

His phone had been taken away, meaning he had completely lost contact with the outside world.

This sense of helplessness was suffocating.

"Fernando, do you really want to just wait for death?!"

He clutched the cage, howling savagely.

Finally, Fernando opened his eyes, "Save your strength."

Of course, Luo Long couldn’t understand what he was saying, his eyes shone painfully bright, "Find a way to contact your people, get us out of here!"

Fernando, who couldn’t understand and was powerless to help, remained silent.
