He was a man dressed as a gentleman and with an elegant temperament.
Europeans are white, but this man is as white as a corpse. Even if I die, I can't catch up even if I soak in it for three days.
There was a woman accompanying him, and the two of them walked on the street like two models. However, this place was a fashion capital after all, so they didn't attract many eyes from passers-by.
Tong Ruoqing also saw something was wrong and pointed at him: "Is this a vampire?"
"Yes, he behaved exactly like Zhang Qi at that time, full of death energy."
I pulled Tong Ruoqing and followed him quietly: "If you're not afraid of the sun, I guess this is a pretty advanced vampire. Let's go and see where he's going."
Not too deliberately, the two of them were shopping and walking like a normal couple.
The boy in front was not in a hurry, chatting and laughing with the woman next to him, occasionally looking back, but Tong Ruoqing and I both hid our auras. He thought we were just ordinary Chinese tourists and didn't care after he glanced at us.
After walking behind him like this for almost ten minutes, it started to get dark. The two of them stopped in front of a coffee shop, exchanged a few words and walked in side by side.
Tong Ruoqing tilted her head and asked me: "Are we waiting outside?"
"Why do you have to stand outside? It's better to go in and have a cup of coffee."
"But won't he be suspicious? He looked back several times just now and we were following him. If he enters the coffee shop again, he will definitely know that we are following him."
"Just know it, it doesn't matter."
I took Tong Ruoqing's hand and walked in: "I don't have any ill intentions towards him. If he is exposed, it would be good to get straight to the point and have a chat to save trouble."
Opening the door, a burst of coffee aroma entered my nose.
At that time, the man and woman were sitting by the window, and I generously pulled Tong Ruoqing to sit in the seat next to them.
But it was a bit awkward when I ordered something. The waitress didn't speak English and couldn't understand what I was saying. I couldn't understand her gibbering in Italian, so I spent a long time making guesses on the menu.
Just when I took out my mobile phone and wanted to use the translation software to talk to her, someone suddenly tapped me on the shoulder from behind: "You seem to be in trouble, do you need my help?"
The vampire was standing behind me, with a gentlemanly smile on his face.
I was not polite: "Sorry to trouble you, my girlfriend and I need two cups of coffee and two snacks."
"no problem."
He nodded, said a few words to the clerk in Italian, and then pointed to the chair next to him: "Can I sit down?"
"Of course no problem."
I made a "please" gesture: "You can invite your female companion to sit with you. I will pay for your consumption this time, so I will take it as a thank you."
He didn't express his position, and sat on the chair with a smile: "Are you two Chinese?"
"That's right."
"May I ask, why are you following me?"
"Because I want to ask you something."
Erlang crossed his legs and tapped my fingers on the table: "I want to know if you have any friends in London?
The man chuckled: "I am British and have many friends in London."
Oh my god, isn't this a coincidence?
My eyes immediately lit up when he said this, and I continued to ask: "I mean, do you have any Chinese friends in London?"
The answer I got was still affirmative: "Yes, there is a very beautiful female friend who is about the same age as you."
Boy, this is really easy to get.
I was somewhat excited, but I didn't show it on my face: "Excuse me, is your friend's surname Zhang? If so, can you give me her contact information?"
"Sir, I don't know your identity yet."
He stretched out a hand towards me: "Introduce yourself, my name is Charles Russell."
I also reached out and shook his hand: "Gu Yan."
"Mr. Gu, I don't know your intention. Unless you express your intention first, I will consider giving you Miss Zhang's contact information."
This Charles looks a bit like an old European aristocrat, and he speaks very well.
Originally, there was no conflict of interest with these people who claimed to be vampires, and I was very polite: "I have no ill intentions. Zhang Qi is my friend. We had some misunderstandings, so she has been hiding to prevent me from finding her.
This time I got the news that she was in Italy, so I came all the way here to repair our relationship. I hope you can tell me where she is."
"Well, I have to say that this is a very good reason."
He looked at me a few times: "Mr. Gu is not an ordinary person, right?"
"What do you think?"
I was too lazy to talk nonsense. A trace of soul fire appeared in my palm and was quickly extinguished: "Is it possible for ordinary people to see through your identity at a glance?"
"Amazing Eastern magic, I actually felt the power of my soul in that fire."
Charles sighed and stood up: "If you don't mind, I can try to contact Miss Zhang now and ask if she is willing to see you. If she is willing, then I can take you there now."
I was a little embarrassed when he said this: "Zhang Qizhen is in Milan? But why are you contacting her? Can't you just take me there?"
"I must respect her wishes, please Mr. Gu not to embarrass me."
He showed an apologetic smile, greeted his female companion who was sitting there, and then they walked out of the coffee shop together with their mobile phones.
He is quite vigilant, but this operation is useless. Even if he goes out to make a phone call, I can still use my mental power to sense what he is saying.
So ever since he left the house, I've been keeping my ears open, wondering if this guy was going to cheat.
But when he spoke the first sentence, I immediately rolled my eyes: "Italian, his grandma's, is he playing tricks on me, right?"
Tong Ruoqing knew what I wanted to do, and she laughed out loud at me: "I let you show off, and your strength is exposed, isn't it? People are specially guarding you."
I curled my lips and complained: "It's boring, there isn't even this little trust between people."
Tong Ruoqing's eyes were a little meaningful: "But having said that, Zhang Qi knows a lot of things. I didn't expect that she could also speak Italian."
I understood what she wanted to say: "You mean, the person on the other end of the phone is probably not Zhang Qi, right?
In fact, I also think that when we were looking for Zhang Qi all over the world, and a vampire suddenly appeared in front of us, this was like a little sparrow squatting in a manhole - it was too much of a coincidence."
"That's right, and there was a Russell Company in the United States in the 19th century, which was the largest opium smuggling group."
She gently stirred the coffee cup in front of her: "Do you think this Charles Russell is related to the Russell family?
They are all Angsa people. If so, then what he said may not be credible. I don't believe that the descendants of opium dealers will be good people."
