Chapter 930 - 940: Arrival (Part 1)
Chapter 930: Chapter 940: Arrival (Part 1)
As soon as the media found out that Lin Xi was missing, the plane turned into chaos.
It’s important to know that the main person the media came to interview this time is him.
Now that the protagonist is missing, you can imagine how disappointed they are. After all, he’s the biggest story, and the audience is most eager to know about him!
Lin Xi, who had already gone through customs, was unaware of all this. Even if he knew, he would have avoided it.
Following the arrows and signs, he walked straight toward the taxi direction.
Taxis in the United Kingdom are different from those back home; the price is at least five times higher, so most people take the subway or other public transport, which, while not cheap, is much better than taking a cab.
Last time he came to the United Kingdom, he took the subway.
After all, back then, the old man had given him very little budget after the airfare.
He didn’t dare to indulge in such luxuries as taxis.
Otherwise, it would be sleeping on the streets or going hungry.
"Now?" Lin Xi smiled, "Does it look like I’m someone who’s short of money now?"
It’s important to know that he now has billions of dollars lying in his bank account!
Moreover, the other day, Xu Hong transferred over ten million to his account, saying it was regular business income from the Dark Night Sect, though many territories and forces are still being consolidated, so the income is a bit less.
By next month, it should increase three to four times.
In other words, no matter what he does now, he earns tens of millions monthly.
Meanwhile, his monthly expenses, apart from some living costs for Mengmeng, are almost negligible.
"People!"
"Only when you have money do you have confidence!"
Lin Xi deeply understands this!
So, when you’re broke, don’t just complain every day, you must work hard to make money.
With money, you have more choices, like girls!
Otherwise, as a poor loser, what choices do you have left? You don’t even have the opportunity to choose.
After walking for about ten minutes, he arrived at the taxi area.
The place has many people waiting for taxis, indicating that wherever there are rich people, there are many taxis.
Another thing is, there are no unlicensed cab drivers soliciting customers here.
But that’s common in major cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou.
After waiting for about ten minutes, he got in a taxi.
With a perfect aristocratic accent, the taxi driver showed him a lot of respect.
Except, the worn-out backpack he carried was a bit noticeable.
But the driver didn’t care much; nowadays, young people dress in all sorts of ways, and it’s very likely to dress up a bit when going out.
Around seven in the evening, the taxi dropped Lin Xi off outside the hotel.
The hotel is called Hilton, a five-star, counted as one of the top hotels in London.
Its location is not in the city center, making it relatively quiet and private compared to the city center.
However, judging by the flow of people at the hotel entrance, it wasn’t particularly crowded nor deserted, and they all seemed to be hotel guests.
As for passersby, there were very few.
Getting out of the car, Lin Xi didn’t stop and walked straight into the hotel.
The two security guards at the entrance initially wanted to stop him, as he didn’t look like someone who could afford to stay at their hotel.
They hesitated, however.
Because when Lin Xi got out of the car, he said a couple of sentences to the driver.
It was these two English sentences that made them wary.
After all, for a foreigner with yellow skin to speak such aristocratic English, he definitely isn’t ordinary.
Moreover, they noticed that as this foreigner walked into their hotel, he showed no signs of fear or hesitation to move forward.
It’s as if their hotel was just another ordinary hotel in his eyes.
Being observant, they quickly drew two conclusions in their minds.
One is that this young man is extraordinary!
The other is that this young man is a con artist!
Compared to being a con artist, they believed more that this young man was not an ordinary person.
Thus, when Lin Xi walked in, they bowed and greeted him.
"Hilton’s quality is this high now?" Lin Xi nodded, thinking to himself.
It’s not that he hasn’t stayed at a Hilton before; it’s just that he hadn’t experienced such service attitude. Perhaps it’s because the United Kingdom is Hilton’s headquarters?
Of course, the two guards continued observing Lin Xi’s actions discreetly.
If this person turned out to be a fraud, they could immediately kick him out.
Walking into the hotel lobby, Lin Xi didn’t consider how much the two guards might be thinking.
Even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.
He walked over to the sofa on the left and sat down, taking out his phone.
The phone’s UK roaming was already activated, so he had signal continuously.
He sent a WeChat message to Dili Bare, saying he had arrived and urged her to come downstairs and pick him up!
It seemed Dili Bare was holding her phone.
As soon as he sent the message, she replied.
"You’re here so quickly?" with a shocked emoji attached afterward.
After all, she only called Lin Xi in the morning, and it’s been only thirteen hours since.
Keep in mind, just the flight time alone is at least ten hours.
It also includes heading to the airport early, waiting for the flight, and travel to the Hilton Hotel after landing and passing through customs in the United Kingdom, which all requires some time.
The full span of thirteen hours is far from sufficient.
"I’m here!" Lin Xi said.
"Are you really not joking with us?", "You know, there are people from that man’s underlings in the lobby right now, it wouldn’t be safe for us to come down!"
"Come quickly, why are you so wordy? I said I’m here, then I’m here!"
Seeing this message, Dili Bare suddenly got angry, "You’re using that tone to shout at me?"
"How dare you shout at me, let me tell you, besides my mother, no one in this world has ever shouted at me!"
"You brat, do you have a death wish?"
"I think you should calm down and consider your current situation!" Lin Xi said.
Dili Bare: "..."
Afterward, the message he received was, "I’m Xie Ziqi. Mr. Lin, have you really arrived?"
"I’m here!"
"Okay, please wait a moment, we’ll come down right away!"
In less than five minutes, two simply dressed women, followed by two bodyguards, emerged from the elevator.
One of them was extremely beautiful, with a tall, captivating figure. The other was also within the realm of beauties, but compared to the one beside her, there was still quite a difference.
These two were Dili Bare and Xie Ziqi.
As soon as they came out, they looked around to find where Lin Xi was.
At the same time, both of them were pondering whether he really came?
Although Xie Ziqi had responded with certainty earlier, internally, her thoughts were quite similar to Dili Bare’s.
However, she had a gut feeling, thinking that perhaps he was indeed here.
To avoid missing him, she decided that both of them should come down and have a look.
Moreover, in the hotel lobby, those people wouldn’t dare to directly apprehend someone, right?
They had even given a deadline, with their ultimatum being tomorrow morning at the latest.
"The damn liar, he’s tricking us again!" Dili Bare cursed softly after looking around for a while and not finding Lin Xi.
A faint disappointment flashed across Xie Ziqi’s face.
Still, she always felt Lin Xi wouldn’t joke with them about this matter.
After all, it concerns their safety.
So she walked a few steps forward, taking a closer look, then suddenly saw someone sitting in a corner on the sofa. She paused, waved her hand toward Dili Bare, and pointed over there,
"Bare, come here and see if that’s Lin Xi?"
