210 End of the Group Trip


    The group admired the Cattedrale Santa Maria del Fior and the Uffizi Art Museum as well as the building that had many exquisite sculptures.


    They spent a day and a half appreciating the quaintness of Florence before heading to Venice.


    Venice was a city on the water with a particrly strong artistic atmosphere.


    Chu Yuzhou sat at the bow of the boat and sighed.


    No one paid attention to him. He imitated Ven Olle’s tone and said to the six people on the other boat, “Are you going to kiss?”


    “No.”


    “Why aren’t you answering?” He put on an act. “Are you afraid I’ll be angry?”


    Zhou Yanshen, who had goosebumps from being disgusted by him, nced at him in disdain. “Get lost.”


    “You can’t get lost on the boat. I can’t swim.”


    “I realized that you really deserve a beating.”


    Chu Yuzhou grabbed Shen Yi’s arm and leaned over. “Brother Yi, your love rival wants to beat me up.”


    “Can you be more shameless?”


    Shen Yi couldn’t take it anymore.


    He scooped up a handful ofke water and sshed water on Chu Yuzhou.


    Chu Yuzhou, who was sshed with water on the face, spat non-stop and frowned. “This water is too dirty. Do you want to poison me to death?”


    “You deserve to be poisoned.” They bickered all the way while the others admired the scenery in peace.


    Be it the Rococo pce or the Moorish houses, they could see everything.


    In addition to the main ind, Venice has a fairy-tale rainbow ind and a ss ind that produces art.


    They stayed in Venice for a day and night, rented a small bus, and drove to Mn, theirst destination.


    “Oh my God!” Ven Olle suddenly slowed down after racing for more than a hundred kilometers on the highway.


    “What’s going on?”


    To be on the safe side, he parked the car on the side and observed themotion in front. “There is a robbery taking ce.”


    The word “robbery” instantly swept away the sleepy atmosphere in the car.


    “What the f*ck!” Chu Yuzhou quickly stood up in fear. “How many of them are there?”


    “I don’t know.”


    “I only have three thousand euros on me.” Qu Shao took out his wallet and started counting the money.


    His actions made the atmosphere even more tense.


    Pei Zhi calmly walked to the driver’s seat and looked at the white car that was forced to stop through the windshield.


    He said calmly, “They’re not here to rob us.”


    “Then who?”


    “Jewelry.”


    A deafening sound was heard.


    The nine people surrounding the driver’s seat watched as the robbers took away three boxes and left the white car.


    “How exciting.” This was the first time Zhou Yanshen had seen such a big robbery in reality.


    Chu Yuzhou had the same thoughts as him.


    However, he couldn’t help but say, “That jewelrypany is too stupid. They actually put thepany name on the car. It’s no different from shouting “I have money in the car and you can rob me”.


    “Maybe the robbers have an insider giving them information?”


    “I don’t know if there’s an insider, but the three boxes of jewelry they took must be worth a lot.”


    Pei Yn went online to check. “The most expensive jewelry in thatpany is 300 million USD.”


    “What about the cheapest?”


    “Forty million.”


    “Does something like this happen often?” Jiang Ye took out a lighter and looked at Ven Olle.


    “I think so.” He stepped on the elerator and talked about the recent cases.


    With that, the topic started. Everyone chatted for the next hundred kilometers.


    The two-and-a-half-hour journey passed in the blink of an eye. After checking in, it was lunchtime.


    After enjoying a seafood banquet, they went to Mont-Napoleon Avenue to shop.


    “I want to buy two pairs of shoes.” Lin Jiao stopped outside the shoe store and looked at the window. “Yn, do you want a pair?”


    “Yes!” Pei Yn held Qian Yue’s hand and followed her.


    Under the rmendation of the shop assistant, they each chose two pairs of shoes. Before they could pay, Jiang Ye swiped his card.


    He entered the pin number, took the shopping bags, and handed them to Qian Yue and Lin Jiao. “New Year’s gift.”


    “Thank you.”


    “Jiang Ye.” Chu Yuzhou ced his hand on his shoulder and raised an eyebrow. “Men and women are equal.”


    “Shall we go and see men’s wear too?”


    “Let’s go.”


    ...


    Jiang Ye let the men present choose a piece of clothing and swiped the card.


    He and Pei Zhi walked side by side, carrying more and more shopping bags in their hands as time went by.


    “They’re too good at shopping.” Zhou Yanshen looked at the figures that disappeared behind the door of Fendi. “To be honest, I’m tired.”


    “Why don’t you rest for a while?”


    “I have nowhere to sit.”


    “There’s one over there.” Pei Zhi found a public seat not far away and rested with them for a moment.


    He took out a cigarette box from his pocket and handed them a cigarette. “Where did Chu Yuzhou and the others go?”


    “The cafe on the right.”


    “Which one?”


    “The one with the green umbre at the door.” Jiang Ye pointed in a direction and blew out two puffs of smoke.


    Pei Zhi took a look before looking away.


    ...


    He leaned back in his chair and rxed. When the girls came out, they went to meet up with the others.


    “I saw someone stealing something just now.” As soon as Chu Yuzhou saw them, he exaggerated what he saw.


    However, there were indeed many thieves nearby.


    Ven Olle waited for him to finish before saying, “Check if your wallet is in your pocket.”


    “It’s still there.”


    “Let’s put the things in the car.” Shen Yi thought of the robbery he saw on the way. “It won’t be fun if we’re targeted.”


    “Yes.” Zhou Yanshen nced at the shopping bags in everyone’s hands. “The logo on the bags is too obvious.”


    When we were outside, it was better to keep a low profile.


    On the way to the parking lot with them, Qu Shao suddenly thought of something and asked, “Will the car be broken into if we leave the bags there?”


    “The probability is very small, but it’s not very unlikely.”


    “Then find something to cover it with?”


    “Just put it in the luggagepartment.” Pei Zhi asked Ven Olle to open the luggagepartment and stuff the bags in before getting into the car.


    As the sun set, the noisy city was enveloped in a faint glow, leaving behind thest bit of warmth for the tourists.


    A bus carrying ten people shuttled through the capital.


    The eight-day trip ended.


    The group of people said goodbye to Ven Olle at the airport and boarded the private jet that came to pick them up.


    It was alreadyte at night when they arrived at Lin City.


    They got in different cars parked outside the airport and drove in different directions in the heavy snow.
