Chapter 372 Lucky Numbers
Paris, Hôtel de la Prince Charles.
As one of the top 20 luxury hotels in France and even in the world, the people who come and go here are top-notch rich people or politicians.
As a top hotel in the world, the security here is also extremely strong.
There are even rumors that even if a heavily armed reinforced battalion is deployed to attack this place, it will not be able to break through the self-defense strength of this place within three hours.
Of course, this sentence is exaggerated, but even so, it is enough to illustrate its extraordinary nature.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Paris time, a European woman wearing a long red dress walked in. Behind her, a strong taxi driver carried two large suitcases.
"Dear Madam, do you have an appointment?" A lobby manager in a suit came over and asked very politely.
Snapped!
The European woman expressionlessly pulled out a stack of euros and pressed it on the lobby manager's chest, saying, "I don't have a reservation, but I'm willing to double the amount."
"Madam, what you are doing is not allowed..." The lobby manager raised his eyebrows: "It is our policy to make reservations in advance."
Snapped!
The European woman once again took out a stack of euros and stuffed it into the lobby manager's collar.
"Ma'am, I really can't help you." The lobby manager shook his head.
The European woman was silent for a moment, then chuckled and took out a few euros from the lobby manager's collar.
"..." The lobby manager pursed his lips and said nothing.
The European woman reaches out to pump again.
"Oh, but you can be forgiven for making an exception occasionally for the sake of a beautiful lady!" The lobby manager cleverly shrank back, avoiding the woman's hand, and then quickly put the euro in his collar into his pocket.
The European woman laughed twice, and then took out a passport and identity card from her handbag.
"Sofia Adjani..." The lobby manager glanced at the photo on the passport and the face of the European woman, and then smiled: "You will be checked in immediately!"
Whether it is a world-class hotel or a world-class military, facing their various rules, money is undoubtedly the best use.
No matter how big and formal a hotel is, in the final analysis it is still a tool for making money.
After the lobby manager identified the European woman's identity, she quickly checked in.
After checking in, the lobby manager asked someone to take Sophia to her room. During this period, the hotel staff took the big suitcase from the taxi driver and sighed: "It's so heavy, Miss Sophia, what you have in it is
what?"
"Books." Sophia said expressionlessly: "I am a devout believer, and I have traveled all over the world to collect ancient Bible manuscripts. You must be careful, the things inside are priceless."
At this moment, a group of people walked in from the door of the hotel again.
"Hello." The lobby manager greeted me with a smile and spoke in Chinese.
"I called the hotel." A big man in black walked up to negotiate with the other party, and in the center of the crowd, a young woman and a man who looked a little decadent were tightly protected in the circle.
Sophia just looked at it calmly, and then withdrew her gaze.
A few minutes later, the hotel staff also checked in for the second group of people.
Their floor is the thirteenth floor.
Sophia's floor is the twenty-third floor.
The second group of people were naturally Zhong Ling and Lin Tianyou.
Su Rui's calculations are very accurate.
The chartered boat Zhong Ling took set off at 1:50 p.m., crossed the long and narrow river, and arrived at the hotel at exactly 7 p.m.
Why could Su Rui predict that Zhong Ling would disembark at seven o'clock?
Because Zhong Ling has a habit, her dinner time is always between 7:30 and 8:00 pm. After this time, she will not eat anything.
Naturally, the dinner cooked in the ship's kitchen would not be up to the standard Zhong Ling wanted, so she would definitely check into a hotel before seven-thirty.
And looking at the area that can be reached at this point in time, only this hotel can meet Zhong Ling's requirements!
Wow…
As Zhong Ling walked, the strong men patrolling around her looked around with vigilant eyes, keeping alert for dangers that might arise at any time.
"Haha, another big shot..." The hotel staff accompanying Sophia chuckled.
He was already used to this kind of scene.
Not to mention the more than 20 escorts, he had seen a certain French general once stay in this hotel with hundreds of special forces soldiers by his side!
Sophia just smiled and didn't turn her head to look over at all.
He even put on dark sunglasses.
Thirteenth floor.
Zhong Ling and his party booked six rooms in total.
The price of each room here for one night is more than 400,000 yuan, and Zhong Ling and his party alone will spend more than 2 million yuan to stay here for one night.
This is money that ordinary people cannot earn in their lifetime.
But to Zhong Ling, it really doesn't matter.
Money is just a number to her.
…
Thirty minutes later.
The hotel lobby received a complaint call.
The call was from Sophia on the 23rd floor.
She claimed that the bathtub in her room was broken, and the lobby manager sent someone to check and found that the bathtub was indeed clogged.
"Ma'am, I'm so sorry. I'll move you to another room." The hotel staff said apologetically, "It's just next door."
"No, I refuse to stay on the 23rd floor." Sophia shook her head resolutely and said in a confused voice: "The bathtub is broken. This is a sign that something bad will happen on the 23rd floor today.
If it happens, I want to leave this floor!"
The two staff members looked at each other and curled their lips helplessly.
"Ma'am, this is just a simple malfunction."
"You don't understand. This is a reminder from the Lord." Sophia took out the silver cross hanging around her neck with both hands and said piously: "If I don't follow His guidance, disaster will befall me."
The two staff members were also confused. It is the most difficult to deal with people like these believers.
If you are not careful, you will be complained.
They thought for a moment and asked: "Madam, which floor do you want to change to?"
The corners of Sophia's mouth raised slightly and she said, "Thirteen, that is my lucky number."
The two staff members raised their eyebrows, and then they had no choice but to agree and said: "No problem, ma'am, we will change your room right away."
A few minutes later, two staff members carried Sophia's luggage and left the 23rd floor, taking the elevator straight to the 13th floor.
Chapter completed!
