Dragon Raja: I practiced Naruto ninjutsu next to Lu Mingfei.

"Yes." Sebastian respectfully withdrew.

Gu Ran returned to the suite, where Su Xiaoqiang was drying Xiao Lianhua's hair with a towel. Xiao Lianhua had been excited all day and seemed a little tired, her eyes half-closed and drowsy.

"Xiaoqiang, there's something I need to tell you. The matter of your dad's company's overseas office might not be as simple as it seems..." Gu Ran recounted the story of the thief to Su Xiaoqiang.

There's no need to hide these things; the sooner we speak up, the sooner we can come up with a solution.

“Actually, I’ve also thought that things might not be so simple.” Su Xiaoqiang picked up the sleepy Xiaolianhua and dried her hair with a hairdryer. “We’ll talk later. You go take a shower first.”

"Okay." Gu Ran walked into the bedroom.

If you go to sleep with your hair not dried, you are more likely to get migraines. But Lianhua has very thick hair. She still has her baby hair. Her fine hairs are soft and long.

After Lianhua's hair was dried, Su Xiaoqiang carried her back to her room to sleep. At the same time, Gu Ran also came out after taking a shower.

When he saw Su Xiaoqiang, he immediately snuggled into her arms: "I want to dry my hair too."

“You have a buzz cut, your hair is prickly, it’ll dry in no time, you don’t need to wipe it!” Su Xiaoqiang said in a low voice.

"I don't care, I don't care." With that, Gu Ran rubbed his head against Su Xiaoqiang's stomach and acted coquettishly. Su Xiaoqiang had no choice but to hug him and let him be shameless.

As he rubbed his hair, it dried almost completely, but he did manage to get a wet patch on Su Xiaoqiang's clothes.

The clothes were only slightly damp, not soaked, so Su Xiaoqiang didn't bother to change them. After all, they would dry quickly in the summer. She spread out the hem of the clothes to let the air circulate, and her body heat would dry them in a while.

Su Xiaoqiang continued talking to Gu Ran about her father's company: "The accounting firm records transactions based on bank account activity, so they're definitely right. But the branch office says some transactions were made in cash, but they can't say which ones were."

"How about I grab someone and interrogate them?" Gu Ran said.

"We haven't confirmed the other party's guilt yet, let's investigate first," Su Xiaoqiang said.

Su Papa's Company has four overseas offices, located in Marseille, France; Amsterdam, Netherlands; Cape Town, South Africa; and Los Angeles, USA.

You have to personally review the accounts of these companies to find out exactly how much money they've embezzled.

Moreover, Mr. Su currently lacks evidence, and without evidence, there is no way to file a lawsuit.

"In short, we just need to make those people cough up their money, right?" Gu Ran asked, summarizing.

“That’s right, our money is ours, and no one can take it away!” Su Xiaoqiang said, raising her little fist.

“In that case, we’ll ask them one by one,” Gu Ran said with a smile.

His plan was to go to Marseille first, then to the Netherlands in Northern Europe, then to Cape Town in the Southern Hemisphere, and finally to Los Angeles, which he considered a round-the-world trip.

Su Xiaoqiang felt the same way. With Gu Ran around, she didn't feel there was any danger at all. On the contrary, they could take the opportunity to travel together, which seemed quite fun.

After discussing it for a while, the two decided to spend a day in Paris tomorrow and take it slow, since summer vacation is still long.

……

The next day, Gu Ran and his two companions toured various parts of Paris, with Sebastian acting as their guide. From the Louvre to Notre Dame Cathedral, from the Arc de Triomphe to the Eiffel Tower, from the banks of the Seine to the cafes on the Left Bank, they visited all the places they wanted to see.

"How do you feel, Xiao Lianhua?" Gu Ran asked Xiao Lianhua in the evening.

"Are Europeans all unhygienic? Why do they urinate and defecate everywhere?" Xiao Lianhua asked, puzzled.

Sebastian, standing to the side, felt a little embarrassed, because he was a pure European, but what Xiaolianhua said was also true.

Because public toilets are rare in Europe, and private toilets in many places charge a fee, unlike in China where public toilets are everywhere and shopping mall toilets are free to use.

Moreover, private toilets in Europe are expensive, costing at least seven or eight euros per use, which is equivalent to seventy or eighty yuan at the exchange rate.

So when many Europeans are forced into a corner and are unwilling to spend money, they find a secluded corner to secretly relieve themselves...

Chapter 560 Erii, the Ice Cream Seller

The most authentic flavors are found in subway stations, tourist attractions, and the alleyways next to shopping malls.

Whether the moon is rounder in foreign countries or not, nobody knows, but foreigners' urine is always smelly, and nobody cleans it up because it's impossible to clean it up, so the smell is really strong.

Especially when the weather is good, the stronger the sun, the stronger the smell. It's only a little better when it rains, as the weather helps to clean it up. But the weather can only help in open-air places. In some underground passages... the smell of urine never stops.

Gu Ran didn't know how to explain such profound questions to a child, so she just told her that Europeans were unhygienic.

In short, their trip to Paris was a memorable and flavorful journey.

They had no interest in visiting any more attractions, so they took the train to Marseille early the next morning.

……

Marseille's beaches are located along the Mediterranean coast and enjoy a pleasant climate.

The beach is often bustling with tourists from all over the world, who come to enjoy the Mediterranean scenery.

However, a newly opened shop on this beach is very popular. The shop sells Japanese fried noodles and shaved ice, as well as some seafood cooked in soy sauce.

The unique culinary talents of Easterners are a game-changer for Europeans, especially with seasonings like soy sauce, which can make seafood incredibly delicious with just a touch.

Besides selling food, this shop also has a storefront dedicated to selling sunscreen, which many women like to buy from because the owner is very handsome.

The boss's handsomeness isn't the tough-guy kind; instead, it's more like the delicate, feminine beauty of K-pop. While South Korea has a strong sense of sensuality, the influence of K-pop culture on the world cannot be denied. Many young Europeans' impressions of East Asians probably come from K-pop.

European women are more open than East Asian women. They will take the initiative to approach handsome men and try to make contact. If possible, it would be even better if they could stay overnight.

The handsome guy selling sunscreen seems to have a young and good-looking younger brother. The younger brother always has a smile on his face and is also very attractive to women.

As a result, the store quickly became a regular customer for women who were willing to come here to buy sunscreen and even hoped that the owner could personally help them apply the sunscreen to their bodies.

The boss refused, saying he already had a girlfriend and couldn't do such a thing, so his younger brother offered to do it for him, using excellent massage techniques to massage the customer with essential oils.

The younger brother speaks fluent French. He seems to be a natural friend to women. Every woman who chats with him feels a sense of warmth and comfort, which is intoxicating.

If they knew that this younger brother used to be a male escort, they probably wouldn't be surprised.

Besides women, this shop is also particularly attractive to men because the girl selling shaved ice is very pretty.

The girl had waist-length hair in chestnut brown, but the hair dye seemed to have been used for a long time and was fading, so a touch of deep red was starting to show through.

This girl is also tall and slender, with long, straight, snow-white legs. Her fair skin seems to never get tanned, and she usually likes to wear pretty crop tops or backless tank tops.

On the beach, of course you should show as much skin as possible and display your youthful energy.

The only drawback was that the girl's eyes were somewhat lifeless, occasionally appearing dull, as if she were nearsighted or blind. In fact, she could see, but her lifeless eyes made her face lack a lot of vivid expressions.

Occasionally, she would show a hint of interest, at which point she would come alive, stunning many men with her beauty.

Because of her beauty, many men from nearby shops would come over to chat her up, but no matter what they said, she seemed uninterested in them.

Later, these men discovered that the girl was mute and could not speak; she usually communicated by writing in a small notebook.

But the men were not disappointed. Instead, they paid even more attention to the girl and were aroused to protect her. They felt that such a pitiful girl was the most worthy of their protection, so they spoke to the mute girl even more enthusiastically.

Unfortunately, the girl ignored these people and never even smiled at them.

The men working on the beach are either lifeguards, kayakers, or instructors for certain beach activities. They are all big, muscular, and tanned, which is incredibly attractive to women who like muscles.

But this shaved ice girl doesn't seem to like muscular men. She believes that the most handsome men are those with delicate features, because her brothers are both handsome with delicate features, and the person she likes is also a handsome boy with delicate features.

Muscular men are a bit too much; girls don't like them.

The person in charge of frying noodles at this shop is an old man who looks to be about eighty years old, but he is still very energetic. He wears a headscarf and frys noodles very efficiently. He can make a plate of fried noodles in a very short time, and the taste is also quite good.

This old man would often chase away men who tried to flirt with him, directly cursing their entire families in French: "What kind of bastards are you? Trying to pick up my daughter? Don't you even know your own worth?"

The men who came to chat her up immediately dispersed when they saw the old man approaching, but they still came back the next day to flirt with the girl who couldn't speak. The girl ignored them as usual, just quietly making shaved ice. She would sell to anyone who came to buy, and stare blankly into the distance when no one did. Occasionally, she would take out her phone to slack off and send messages to people on QQ.

At this point, another tall and aloof girl in the shop will come forward to help sell shaved ice, letting her slack off without urging her, just letting her do what she likes.

It was noon that day, past lunchtime, and most of the customers had left. Erii, who sold shaved ice, was preparing to go for a stroll outside the beach.

Since leaving the Snake-Headed Eight Family, she has traveled to many places and seen many seas.

The seas she saw everywhere were not as dangerous as the ones she had seen in Takamagahara. On the contrary, the seas her brother took her to see were all gentle and peaceful.

She often gets approached by people who try to chat her up, which she finds annoying, but it's part of life and she can't avoid it, so she enjoys the noise.

At midday, her latest activity is to carry a parasol to the beach and make sand sculptures, which is something she enjoys doing lately.

Sometimes she would build a castle, sometimes she would build a Doraemon. She didn't know why, but sand sculptures were so much fun. When she got tired of playing with them, she would put them aside and wait for the tide to come in so that they would be submerged. The next day, she would come back and build a new one.

This way, she can find new fun every day.

After she finished making the sand sculpture, she would take a picture and send it to Lu Mingfei, who was far away, via QQ.

Sometimes, Lu Mingfei would reply to her quickly, and sometimes he wouldn't reply at all.

Erii asked when she could see him again, but Lu Mingfei said that he was quite busy lately and they probably wouldn't be able to meet for a while.

During this period, Lu Mingfei joined the 'Nibelungen Project' and received various training sessions arranged by Principal Angers almost every day, ranging from physical fitness and combat to firearms and various special agent training.

He was indeed very tired, but he persevered every day because he had experienced times when he had no strength left.

During that incident in Tokyo, if it weren't for Gu Ran, the little mute would have died. At that time, he had already experienced the despair of being powerless.

Therefore, he accepted the principal's training, and he persevered no matter how hard or tiring it was.

This means that Lu Ming has to say goodbye to his lazy days and can no longer control his time as he pleases, so it is indeed a bit difficult for him to meet Erii.

Erii then said, "Can't I go to America to find you?"

Lu Mingfei said, "You are now unregistered residents, yet you possess royal blood. Coming to the Secret Party's headquarters is like lambs to the slaughter."

Please, please don't come!

After being rejected, Erii thought for a moment and said to Lu Mingfei, "The world is too big, so big that I have no idea how to find you."

Lu Mingfei stared at those words in silence for a long time before finally promising to visit her during the winter break.

“Although the world is vast, I am your friend. As long as I know you are safe and sound, as long as I know your whereabouts, we will definitely meet again,” he said to Erii.

So Erii could only wait for the winter break to arrive, waiting for the moment when she could reunite with Lu Mingfei after so long.

She makes a sand sculpture of a different shape every day. When she has made more than a hundred different sand sculptures, winter will come, and she will be able to meet Lu Mingfei then.

When Erii was making sand sculptures, some idiots would come up to chat with her at first, but she didn't pay much attention to them. Then one time, an idiot accidentally knocked down her sand sculpture, and Erii glared at him.

That idiot seemed to be seeing Erii's face with a vivid expression for the first time, but he only saw her looking angry.

Her angry face remained expressionless, though her demeanor was colder than usual, and an astonishing aura emanated from her entire being.

This momentum immediately alarmed Uesugi Kotsugi and Genjiro. They were the two people with the highest bloodline besides Erii, and their first thought was how to evacuate the people on the beach.

Fortunately, Erii was only angry and did not go on a killing spree, otherwise a single 'judgment' could have wiped out everyone on the beach.

But that one look from her gave that idiot PTSD. It took a long time for Genji to treat this idiot who almost died.
