Tall but plump figure, tapered face, thick lips and big eyes with eyeshadow, Rihanna's image is always related to sexy, and she looks like the kind of bad guy on the street. Girls, like tattoos and cigarettes and alcohol. But she represents European and American pop culture, and her songs always have the power to break through the world and can easily resonate with young people.
Xia Lei liked the song "The Monster" she sang with Eminem very much, which is why he was willing to leave the oil painting to get to know her. Another reason is that Shentu Tianyin knows many big-name celebrities in China, but he doesn't know them. If he becomes friends with Rihanna, there will be more topics in the entertainment industry with Shentu Tianyin.
Before marriage, it was pure love. After marriage, it is not just pure love, but also life, and life needs to be managed.
"Hello, Ms. Rihanna." Xia Lei smiled and reached out his hand, "I'm so happy to see you."
Rihanna shook hands with Xia Lei with a smile on her face, "Mr. Xia, the father of China's rifles, I didn't expect you to be so young. I have seen some reports about you on the Internet, but I didn't expect to be here. see you."
"Well, what did the American media say about me?" Xia Lei randomly found a topic.
"They say you're a genius, the smartest person in the world."
"They say that about me? Haha, I don't think so. I'm just an ordinary person. Well, I'm still your fan. I like to listen to your songs."
"Huh? What songs of mine have you heard?"
"The Monster you collaborated with Eminem on, and the Chinese Princess you collaborated on with Coldplay, I like them both."
Rihanna's mouth showed another charming smile, "It seems that you have really listened to my song. I feel honored that you like it. I like guns very much, they give people strength and security. I follow I've had your Gale assault rifle for a long time, and I've always wanted one, but you can't buy one in the United States. Mr. Xia, can you give me one?"
Xia Lei smiled, "No problem, but I can't go to the United States, I can't give it to you personally, and I can't send the gun to the United States. Well, if you have time, you can go to the United Arab Emirates. Prince Caliph is my friend , I can give him a call and he will fulfill your request on my behalf."
"Prince Caliph is your friend?" Rihanna looked slightly surprised.
"Yes, maybe you can also go to Argentina. I have some friendship with a general in the Argentine military. I can also ask him to meet your requirements."
Rihanna, “…”
Almost three years ago, Xia Lei's friends were just workers on the construction site, a group of hard-working men. Each of his classmates in junior high school and high school did better than the last, and he didn't even dare to join the society, because if he did, he would be greeted with blank looks and contempt. But now, he is standing at the home of the CEO of Rheinmetall, chatting and laughing with international celebrity Rihanna. The friends he mentioned are either Middle Eastern princes or South American generals, and his aura is overwhelming. Life is like a play.
Muller is also a world-class star with a very high reputation, but next to Xia Lei, his light is overshadowed by Xia Lei.
Sylvia, who introduced Rihanna to Xia Lei, was also put aside, but she didn't feel any discomfort at all, because one of the two people chatting in front of her was her idol, and the other was someone she had a crush on and was sincerely convinced. man. Xia Lei, who was chatting and laughing, had such a strong, perfect and natural aura. She looked at Xia Lei with a hint of excitement in her eyes.
With a net worth of tens of billions and a handsome face, he was already the father of China's rifles in his twenties. The Thunder Horse Group he founded is a super dark horse in the world's military industry. With this kind of person, no matter what kind of occasion he appears, he is destined to be the most attractive person to the opposite sex.
But while chatting with Rihanna, Xia Lei's eyes moved outside the window.
Outside the garden fence, a Chevrolet suburban off-road van parked slowly on the side of the road. The car door opened and several people in black suits got out of the car. One of them was holding a walkie-talkie and saying something.
Almost as an instinctive reaction, Xia Lei's left eye instantly locked onto the man's lips and used lip reading to interpret his language.
"...The main entrance is already in place and you can go in and arrest him at any time."
From the attire, body shape, and iconic indifferent expressions of those people, as well as the words he read using lip reading technology, Xia Lei knew who was coming without even thinking about it.
These are American CIA agents, and he has been surrounded!
Xia Lei's eyes suddenly moved to Mark Amin.
Mark Amin smiled at Xia Lei, as if there was a knife hidden in his smile.
Xia Lei suddenly understood that the so-called birthday party was actually just a cover to lure him out of Rheinmetall. Mark Amin has cooperation with cia. Rheinmetall is a major European military manufacturer, and the United States is a very important customer. From this level of relationship, it is reasonable for Rheinmetall to cooperate with CIA.
CIA has been inactive before. That is because Rheinmetall still needs its production lines for XL2500 sniper rifles and Gale assault rifles, as well as Brontosaurus intelligent machine tools. Now that these two projects are nearing completion, it is time to arrest him for those two projects. The impact of the project was not big, because the parts that needed to be processed by him were all processed and only needed to be assembled.
At this time, Mark Amin came over. He first greeted Rihanna with a smile, then leaned into Xia Lei's ear and said with a smile: "Mr. Xia, I'm sorry. I'm afraid I can't share my life with you." Birthday cake.”
Xia Lei said coldly: "We have an agreement. You must ensure my safety."
Mark Amin said calmly: "There is no immutable agreement in this world. Russia and Ukraine not only have an agreement, but also a brotherly relationship, but what is the result? They are on the brink of war. Mr. Xia, you are a very, very smart man. , but you are still young and lack some experience. There is no absolute integrity in this world, and any agreement can be torn up as long as a sufficient price is paid."
"Don't forget, your German personnel are still in China." Xia Lei took out his satellite phone.
Mark Amin smiled faintly, "You still seem a bit naive. In the face of national interests, an army can become cannon fodder, let alone some engineering personnel. Compared with the value of you, what little they have The value is almost negligible.”
"What are you talking about?" Sylvia saw Mark Amin talking to Xia Lei in a low voice, but she couldn't hear clearly.
Rihanna on the side also looked a little confused. Her German level was obviously not comparable to Xia Lei's.
Where did Xia Lei still have the time to deal with Sylvia? He skillfully entered Ling Hao's number on his satellite phone.
Mark Amin said: "You'd better not do this. You have to think about your three companions."
Xia Lei's heart suddenly sank to the ice valley. He understood that the three companions Mark Amin was talking about were Long Bing, Tang Yuyan and Liu Zhengnan. He was lured here, while Long Bing, Tang Yuyan and Liu Zhengnan were still at Rheinmetall. Although Long Bing and Tang Yuyan were both elite agents of Bureau 101, they did not have permission to carry weapons, not to mention that they were facing German special forces and American CIA agents!
Xia Lei couldn't help but picture a large group of German special forces and CIA agents surrounding the factory guesthouse and capturing Long Bing, Tang Yuyan and Liu Zhengnan in his mind. His heart was filled with anger, but there was nothing he could do.
Mark Amin stretched out his hand to Xia Lei, "Give it to me."
Xia Lei suddenly pressed the dial button, held the satellite phone to his ear, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Ling, we are under arrest. Arrest those Germans."
"You—" Mark Amin glared at Xia Lei. He could not have imagined that Xia Lei would remain indifferent to such a threat and dare to call China to arrest German engineers!
Ling Hao's voice came from the satellite phone, "I know, no matter what method you use, you must return to China. Don't worry about Long Bing and Tang Yuyan, you can escape by yourself!"
If Long Bing and Tang Yuyan die, new Long Bing and Tang Yuyan will take over their jobs in Game 101. Without Xia Lei, there will be no other replacement in the world. And he, he is of extremely important significance to China!
This is Ling Hao's decision, his choice.
However, Xia Lei hung up the phone and handed the satellite phone into Mark Amin's hands.
Mark Amin was still angry, "Do you know what stupid thing you did? You will regret it!"
Xia Lei said coldly: "I tell you, if any of my companions are harmed, I will kill everyone here, including you."
Mark Amin was stunned for a moment, and his feet couldn't help but take a step back.
Sylvia finally heard this sentence clearly. She looked at Xia Lei in surprise, "You... what's wrong with you?"
At this time, several CIA agents walked in at the door of the living room. The leader was a young man with blond hair, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and looking very elegant. As soon as he entered the door, he and the CIA agents looked straight at Xia Lei and locked his position.
Sylvia looked at the blond young man, was stunned for a moment, and blurted out a name, "Adolf Hillman..."
Not only people from CIA came, but also people from AE Research Center.
Xia Lei's eyes passed the CIA agents, past Adolf Hillman, and then penetrated the wall. He saw a large group of CIA agents standing outside the hall door. The German special forces who had protected him when he came here not only failed to stop the CIA agents' siege, but instead cooperated with the CIA agents' actions. Several German special forces machine gunners pointed the heavy machine guns of the Mercedes-Benz G-type heavy military off-road vehicles at the house and blocked all exits.
Xia Lei looked around and saw a large number of CIA agents and German special forces on both sides and behind the house.
This is a dragnet, and now is the time to close it.
Adolf Hillman walked towards Xia Lei. He looked at Xia Lei with a special look, as if he were looking at a unique treasure.
Xia Lei also looked at Adolf Hillman, his eyes were cold.
"Hillman, what's going on?" Sylvia hadn't figured out the situation yet, "Why did you come here? Who are these people?"
Adolf Hillman seemed not to hear Sylvia's voice. He looked at Xia Lei and said with a smile: "Xia Lei, we finally meet."
