Xia Lei thought Linda's home was in a crowded urban area, but when he arrived, he discovered that it was a house by the sea. ＞Bar
ｗ-ｗ-ｗ=．·It is located on a hillside, with grassy slopes and full of small flowers of various colors. It looks as beautiful as stars. The waves of the Mediterranean Sea rolled under the hillside, and the lighthouse in the distance lit up, guiding the fishing boats home. There is also a small town at the foot of the hillside, which is also brightly lit at the moment. The Baroque-style buildings are exposed under the sky, forming a picture. It feels like time has stopped in the 17th and 18th centuries and no longer flows.
Although it was his first time to come to this place, Xia Lei fell in love with it at first sight.
"It's so beautiful here." Xia Lei exclaimed while standing on the viewing balcony of her home.
"This place is indeed beautiful, but if you stay there for a long time, you will get tired of it and want to go out for a walk, or even live somewhere else." Linda brought Xia Lei a cup of coffee, "That's how people are, isn't it? Most people like new things.”
Xia Lei took a sip of the coffee she made and said with a smile, "You are an exception. You like ancient things, right?"
"What about you?" Linda stared at Xia Lei with a pair of blue eyes. She seemed to be interpreting Xia Lei's story with this look.
Xia Lei looked at each other calmly, "I am a rational person. I think I am probably somewhere in between. I like some high-end technological products and technologies, and I also like things passed down from history. China's Have you ever watched a drama? What I want to tell you is that I am a lover of drama."
But just when he finished speaking, Linda suddenly opened her mouth and sang: "Red-faced Zhang Fei, green-faced Cao Cao, who said women are inferior to men - An!"
Is this a mix of Chinese style? Xia Lei's nerves were a little confused.
"Gee, I'm sorry, I only learned this one line. Is my singing okay?"
"It's okay, you sang well." Xia Lei complimented without conscience.
"Forget it, I like Chinese culture very much, but I know too little. Mr. Xia, please wait for me for a few minutes, I will make a call, and then we will go to the town for dinner." She smiled "You promised me you would treat me to dinner."
Xia Lei smiled slightly, "No problem.﹎
＿Bar>ｗ=ｗ-ｗ`．-"
After Linda left, he pulled out the satellite phone and dialed.
"Boss, I thought I wouldn't receive your call until tomorrow morning." Arecio's voice said, "Haha, you must understand what I mean."
Xia Lei said: "Don't make random guesses. Her name is Linda. She is an archaeologist in Italy. She happens to be going to the island of Malta to conduct archaeological activities. Her identity is a better cover for me."
Arecio said: "Yelena secretly took a photo of her, and Saimu found out her identity. We are sure that there is no problem with her identity. You can go to the island of Malta with her. I just have one question, how can we What to do? Are you following you secretly or are you?"
Xia Lei said: "You go to the island of Malta first, but don't take any action. You just need to wait for my call."
"I guessed that this was the arrangement, then let's meet on the island of Malta." Arecio then added, "Boss, Italian women are world-famous for their passion and unrestrained spirit. That girl is good, don't waste it. I dare She hasn't had that life for another year, for sure, and she's horny."
Xia Lei, "..."
After ending the call with Arecio, Xia Lei moved his gaze to the direction Linda left, and he soon found her in a room talking to someone on the phone.
Perhaps out of habit, his left eye locked on Linda's lips, and the lip reading technology was activated at the same time.
"...Professor Aman, yes, I have just returned to Sicily. I am going to take a day off and then leave for the island of Malta... Hmm, I will go to the town to eat with my friends later. Just bring me the things. I won't come to your house... I know those things are very important, don't worry, I will protect them... Well, okay, see you later." Linda hung up the phone, turned and left the room.
Xia Lei withdrew his gaze.
"I'm fine, can we go? My stomach is already protesting." Linda said to Xia Lei with a smile.
Xia Lei smiled and nodded.
The town at the foot of the hillside is called Witch Town. The name is said to be derived from a very powerful witch in the Middle Ages. Ya﹏﹎文>>8﹍ｗ-ｗ`ｗ=. ·y-a`w-e`n`8-. ·com However, Xia Lei was not interested in Linda's story at all.
The two entered an Italian restaurant. Xia Lei ordered the restaurant's best dishes and the best red wine, and then asked a wandering artist who was making a living in the restaurant to play a violin piece, the romantic "Serenade."
“Mr. Old friend. It's amazing, isn't it?" Her face beamed with joy.
Xia Lei smiled and said, "Miss Linda, are you hinting at something?"
"What hint are you referring to?" There was an intriguing hint in the corner of her mouth.
"Haha, let's have a drink."
The dinner was carried out in a pleasant atmosphere and then ended, but until Xia Lei called the waiter to pay the bill, Professor Aman did not show up.
Linda looked at her phone, looking a little depressed and anxious, "I don't know what happened. Professor Aman hasn't come yet. I made an appointment with him in advance."
She called Professor Aman, but no one answered.
"How about we wait here." Xia Lei said.
"No wait, I'll go to his house and have a look."
"Let me go with you. It's not safe for you as a girl to walk on the street so late. This is Sicily." Xia Lei said.
“Haha.” Linda laughed, “Mr. The party has gone to finance, real estate, or invest in the oil industry, so who is still fighting and killing people on the streets? Don’t worry, it’s actually very safe here.”
Hearing what she said, Xia Lei thought she didn't want him to accompany her, but he didn't expect that as soon as she finished speaking, she came to his side and held his hand, "Let's go, let's go together."
Xia Lei suddenly felt that Arecio's words made sense.
Professor Aman's home is not far away, only ten minutes away.
It was a very old house, estimated to be at least 200 years old, but it was well-protected and had no obvious damage. It looks like a very clean old man, full of stories.
Linda knocked on the door, but no one answered.
No one answers the phone or knocks on the door. This is an abnormal situation. Xia Lei suddenly felt a sense of vigilance in his heart. His left eye twitched slightly, and the door and wall that blocked his sight quietly disappeared from his sight. At that moment, he suddenly reached out and hugged Linda's waist, and fell to the ground with her.
Chuchuchu!
The wooden door panel shook, and several finger-sized holes suddenly appeared. That's the hole left by the bullet punching through the wood. If she had come down even one second later, the bullet fired from behind the door would have penetrated Linda's chest.
"What are you doing?" Linda didn't react yet, let alone what happened.
Xia Lei didn't give any explanation. He suddenly jumped up, pulled Linda up from the ground, and dragged her towards the corner.
"Mr. Xia!" Linda was angry.
The door behind him suddenly opened, and a black gunman rushed out from behind the door.
The moment the black gunman rushed out, Xia Lei had already dragged Linda to the corner and hid with the help of the wall.
Linda opened her mouth to scream, but Xia Lei covered his mouth with one hand, while the other held her tightly in his arms, preventing her from moving. His left eye's sight penetrated the wall and locked on the black gunman.
The black gunman came over here holding a gun, his arms raised flatly, and the muzzle of the gun pointed at the corner. His posture when holding the gun was very standard, his hand was very steady, and he was a well-trained shooter.
However, Xia Lei didn't feel any panic in his heart. With such a gunman under his gaze, he could subdue him even with his bare hands. If he wanted to kill the gunman, it would be easier. He only needed to pull out the knife hidden in his waist, and when the opponent sneaked to the other side of the corner, he could end the battle with one blow.
However, this gunman is not his enemy. His goal is the protective clothing in the hands of the Knights Hospitaller, not a heroic rescue of the United States. Therefore, he would not kill the gunman unless the other party threatened his life.
The black gunman was getting closer.
Xia Lei frowned. He didn't want to kill anyone in Sicily, but this guy insisted on dying. He let go of the hand holding Linda's belly, and then touched her waist.
"Who's there? Come out!" The black gunman stopped one meter away from the corner. But his shadow was cast on the ground under the streetlight. His arms are clearly visible, as well as the gun in his hand!
Seeing the reflection on the ground, Linda suddenly realized what had happened. She suddenly became nervous and turned pale.
A car suddenly stopped on the street, and someone shouted: "Hey! What are you going to do?"
The gunman was frightened. He glanced at the car, turned around and ran away.
Xia Lei let go of Linda and lowered the hand that was about to draw the knife.
Linda looked over and saw that the black gunman had rushed into an alley. Soon, the roar of the motorcycle engine was heard, and then a cool-looking motorcycle rushed out of the alley and plunged into the darkness like a wild beast.
"Oops! Professor Aman!" Linda rushed out of the corner.
Xia Lei hesitated and walked out of the corner. Just when he was considering whether to go in and take a look, Linda had already rushed into Professor Aman's house.
"Hey! Sir, what happened?" the car driver on the street asked Xia Lei.
Xia Lei said in Italian: "I don't know either. We have been attacked. Can you help us call the police?"
"No problem." The driver of the car called the police on his mobile phone.
Xia Lei walked to the door, still thinking about the issues he had not considered just now, "Should I leave her alone? But her identity is indeed a good cover..."
In the end, he didn't think about this issue well, but when he was thinking about it, he had already stepped in.
