A driver who is invisible in the Paris police system and a taxi that does not exist in the vehicle administration department are undoubtedly very convenient for Luke's actions.
He could drive himself, but that would be easy to notice.
With Daniel, it would be no problem for this guy to take him around as long as he was willing to pay.
Of course, Luke wasn't stupid enough to just take Daniel's car to the place of business. He never put his trust in a casual acquaintance like Daniel.
In fact, this was not the first time that Daniel had driven a group of rich, adventurous kids into a chaotic area.
He felt that Luke's return was just luck, and he would not connect an eighteen-year-old child with the major case in Ninety-Three Provinces two days ago. It was more in line with past practice that a gang fight went wrong.
During the chat, Luke also learned that this guy was going to meet his parents and needed money.
In comparison, most Americans are very hardworking and serious about making money.
Most French people would never work if they could avoid working one minute longer. They would rather sunbathe, pick up girls, or drink coffee than work.
Although not everyone is like this, this is the overall personality tendency of the French people, and it is also the mainstream view in society. Most people think this is normal.
Therefore, even though Daniel, the black car driver, lives a much better life than other taxi drivers because he does not pay all kinds of fees, he does not have much savings.
Now he is going to meet his girlfriend's parents, but he doesn't even have the money to buy them some suitable gifts.
When Luke, a big customer, showed up, Daniel felt relieved. At least he had money to buy gifts and change into nice clothes. If he earned a little more, he could buy a nice piece of jewelry for his girlfriend.
At this moment, it is already past four in the afternoon.
In early January, the sky was already slightly dark, the midday sun had completely disappeared, and only a drizzle of rain had begun to fall from the gloomy sky.
Luke looked at the sky and quietly disappeared into an alley.
Two hours later, Luke returned to the small building where he rented a house. After thinking for a while, he made a phone call: "Elaine? I'm downstairs. Can you drop off the key to the security door?"
As a result, five minutes later, the security door opened and Elena stood there in her pajamas and coat, with a look of surprise on her face: "You're back?"
Luke felt a little amused and touched when he saw her like that. He stepped forward and motioned for her to go upstairs: "You are wearing too little. Come upstairs quickly or you will catch a cold." He walked in and closed the door.
Back upstairs, Luke looked at Elena following behind him and said helplessly: “Elaine, aren’t you going to sleep?”
Elena exclaimed, "Okay, I'll go to bed now." But she didn't move.
Luke said helplessly: "I've been shopping all day today, I'm a little tired, I'm going to bed after taking a shower, good night."
After saying that, he opened the door, entered the house, closed the curtains, and began to change his clothes.
Fortunately, Elena quickly went into the next room and did not stand stupidly on the rooftop to get some fresh air.
Luke was not in a hurry, as his trip to Paris would take ten days, and there was still a week left.
With this in mind, Luke quickly packed up, took out clean clothes from his backpack, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
After coming out, he set up the alarm in the house while his hair was not completely dry yet, and then went to bed.
The bedding that Irina provided him in the afternoon smelled lightly of laundry detergent and sunshine, and it felt very comfortable.
, he fell asleep quickly.
A little after seven the next morning, Luke opened his eyes and got up without staying in bed.
I first moved my body around outside on the rooftop, mainly doing some stretching exercises and some running and jumping.
These movements no longer had any exercise effect on him, they simply allowed his body to slowly return to its best condition after a night of deep sleep.
After exercising for more than ten minutes, he finished warming up and took a look at Elena's situation before returning to the house.
The main thing is that he was surrounded by beautiful girls yesterday, so it’s not bad to see him again today.
Moreover, Elena only drew the curtains a little, which definitely meant that she didn't mind his visit.
He narrowed his eyes as he took a look.
In the cabin, Elena was lying with her back to the window, with a small portion of her back exposed outside the quilt. It seemed that she had a good habit of sleeping naked.
So Luke had a feast for the eyes.
To sum it up in four words: white, big, round and straight.
After admiring this free benefit for a few seconds, Luke smiled and went into the house to start cleaning up.
With this benefit package, God should bless me with a smooth operation today, right? He thought optimistically.
He quickly packed up everything and when he went downstairs, he called Elsa to let them know they were safe.
Elsa grumbled a few words in dissatisfaction, telling him to get out and not disturb her sleep.
Luke's hearing was very sensitive. He vaguely heard a man's voice on the other end of the phone saying, "... Are you awake?"
He hung up the phone with a strange look on his face and checked the time. It was 8:30 in the morning.
It's a great time for vacationers to stay in bed, especially for an older woman who may have overworked the night before.
He still went to the small coffee shop on the corner to have breakfast. The old owner was even more welcoming. When he packed a basket of croissants, he gave him two extra. Luke thanked him with a smile and started his journey for the day.
He went out and got into the car of Daniel who had arrived earlier. It took some time to get to District 13. After spending 500 euros plus the fare to send this guy away, Luke went into Chinatown by himself.
Not only are there many small shops here, but most of the signs are in Chinese characters, giving him a strong sense of familiarity.
Moreover, those shops give the feeling of the streets in some small cities in China in the previous life, with various shops crowded together, and within a few hundred meters, you can find almost everything most people need.
There are many fast food shops, beverage shops, pastries shops, butcher shops, beauty salons, gold shops, electronic communications shops, computers, hardware equipment shops, clothes shops, handicraft shops, and bookstores.
There are also other businesses like printing, photo developing, travel agencies and shopping malls.
Luke wandered freely in this environment, and from time to time he would go into a store to buy something.
The best thing here is that no one can trace what he bought in those stores because there are so many people here.
No matter what the police ask, the Chinese in the store don't want to get into trouble and will not actively cooperate, nor is there any need for them to cooperate.
After a while, no one would remember that Luke had been here.
Luke bought all the things in less than an hour, even some things that were relatively rare on the market.
For example, he could easily buy some top-level electronic products and some special materials, but the prices would increase as appropriate, ranging from 20-200% higher than the market price.
After leaving Chinatown with satisfaction, Luke took a bus to District 18 again and found the hideout of the human trafficking gang.
Luke found a rooftop of a nearby building and listened to the noises coming from inside. Yesterday he made a few simple eavesdropping devices and took some time to come here and place them in several rooms of the apartment building.
From it, he heard good news.
