Xia Ruofei said, "Big Brother Zhao, you go with Wu Qiang first. I'll sort out my luggage and find the wine!"
Zhao Yongjun treated Xia Ruofei's place like his own home. He smiled and said, "Sure! Hurry up! The alcohol bug in my stomach has been hooked! "
After Zhao Yongjun went to the backyard, Xia Ruofei took out five bottles of Zui Ba Xian from the dimension. They were the earliest aged wine that he stored in the dimension. They were much better than the best Zui Ba Xian sold on the market.
He only had 20 to 30 bottles of such wine left. He had been busy with his business for the past six months. At most, he would routinely store the new wine that the winery sent to the warehouse every month into the dimension. Then, he would give the Zui Ba Xian J that was nourished by the dimension's spiritual energy to the winery. He didn't keep any for himself.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei rarely took out this kind of aged wine to entertain guests. Today, he took out five bottles at once because he was deeply grateful to Zhao Yongjun.
Xia Ruofei found a paper bag and put the three bottles of wine in it. He held two bottles in his other hand and walked to the backyard.
In the backyard's dining room, Zhao Yongjun had already sat down. Xia Ruofei didn't see Xia Xiaolan and Wu Xiujuan, so he said, "Wu Qiang, go and call your sister-in-law and Xiaolan over. Let's eat together!"
Wu Qiang hesitated and said, "Boss Xia, they're busy in the kitchen! You can eat with the old company commander. We have reserved some food for you … "
Xia Ruofei frowned slightly and said, "Then what's there to trouble G for? Let's eat together. I'm not that particular! "
Zhao Yongjun said with a smile, "Ruofei, forget it! If you let them come over, they'll feel uncomfortable. Let's eat together! "
Xia Ruofei gave it some thought and felt that Zhao Yongjun's words made sense. Although he did not put on airs, Wu Xiujuan and Xia Xiaolan were not close to him after all. They would definitely feel restrained in front of the boss. If Y were to pull them over, they would feel awkward instead. s3();
Thus, Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Alright …"
Then he put the paper bag on the table and said, "Wu Qiang, put this J bottle of wine in Brother Zhao's car!"
Zhao Yongjun drove himself today, but he left his car in the garage of the siheyuan. Then he went to the airport with Wu Qiang's Land Rover.
"Yes!" Wu Qiang replied, then walked out with the paper bag.
Xia Ruofei thought for a moment and said, "Wu Qiang, you should also accompany your sister-in-law and Xiaolan for dinner! You don't have to worry about this … "
"Boss Xia..." Wu Qiang hesitated for a moment. He felt that he should stay behind to help the two of them. Otherwise, there wouldn't even be someone to pour wine for them.
Xia Ruofei waved his hand and said, "Go! We have hands and feet. We don't need anyone to serve us! "
"Yes!" Wu Qiang no longer felt awkward. He stepped out of the restaurant and closed the door behind him.
Xia Ruofei put the other two bottles of wine on the table and said with a smile, "Brother Zhao, let's each take a bottle today. Let's take care of our own business. No one should pour wine for each other, and no one should cheat. How about that?"
Zhao Yongjun laughed and said straightforwardly, "Very good! That's settled! "
After that, he took a bottle of wine and unscrewed it. He poured a glass for himself, then put the bottle beside him and said, "Don't just stand there. Pour the wine first! Let's have a drink! "
"Alright!" Xia Ruofei also opened the bottle and poured a glass for himself.
Then he picked up the glass and said, "Brother Zhao, it's all thanks to you this time. I won't say anything about being an outsider. It's all in the wine! This little brother will drink first as a toast! "
After saying that, Xia Ruofei raised the glass, tilted his head back, and drank this small bottle of white wine.
"Refreshing!" Zhao Yongjun gave him a thumbs up and also drank the wine in the glass.
After drinking the Zui Ba Xian wine, Zhao Yongjun couldn't help but sigh. His eyes lit up and said, "This is a good wine! Ruofei, the bottle you gave me is the same, right? "
"Of course!" Xia Ruofei smiled and picked up a dish, "This is my collection of limited edition wine! Drinking one bottle is one bottle less! "
In fact, if Xia Ruofei really wanted to drink wine, he could ask for a large jar from the winery and find a place to bury it in the space. In less than a month, it would be another large jar of aged wine. If he wanted to make it quickly, he could use the time formation flag to make a top-notch wine in just a few days.
Zhao Yongjun naturally didn't know this. He smacked his lips and said, "Then I'll have to drink it sparingly!"
The two drank and chatted. Soon, they drank half of the bottle of wine.
Zhao Yongjun said with emotion, "Today, there's only the two of us. It feels a little lonely. If only Xiao Rui and Liang Zi were here …"
Xia Ruofei said, "Brother Zhao, this time the situation is special. When I come back from Italy, I'll call all of my brothers and we'll have a good drink!"
"Good! We'll wait for you in Beijing! " Zhao Yongjun said as he picked up the glass and said, "This glass of wine is to wish you a smooth trip to Italy! All your wishes come true! "
"Thank you!" Xia Ruofei picked up the glass and touched Zhao Yongjun's glass. "Brother Zhao, I'll count on your auspicious words!"
In the beginning, the two of them drank quickly. However, there was a fixed amount of baijiu for lunch. Each of them had a catty of baijiu. For people who didn't know how to drink, they definitely wouldn't be able to finish it. However, for Xia Ruofei and Zhao Yongjun, they really had to take it easy. Otherwise, the bottle would be empty after a while. Therefore, they slowed down and only took a small sip each time.
They drank until two o 'clock in the afternoon. Finally, the two bottles of white wine were gone.
Although Zhao Yongjun wasn't drunk yet, his eyes were a little blurred. The white wine that had been aged in the space for more than a year was much stronger than expected.
For Xia Ruofei, this little bit of white wine was nothing at all. His eyes were still clear and his mind was very clear.
"Brother Zhao, it's almost done!" Xia Ruofei said, "Don't leave today. Rest at my place in the afternoon. Let's drink again in the evening."
Zhao Yongjun smiled and said, "I can't drink anymore … Ruofei, this wine is too strong …"
Xia Ruofei saw this and shouted, "Wu Qiang!"
Wu Qiang waited outside the restaurant after lunch. He immediately pushed the door and walked in. "Boss Xia!"
"Help Brother Zhao to the guest room to rest!" Xia Ruofei said, "Keep an eye on him in the afternoon. He seems to have drunk a little too much …"
"Yes!" Wu Qiang said.
Then he stepped forward and helped Zhao Yongjun up. He said, "Old Company Commander, let's go! I'll take you to the room to rest … "
A drunk person's body was heavier. Wu Qiang could judge Zhao Yongjun's condition as soon as he helped him up.
Wu Qiang looked at the two empty wine bottles on the table and felt a little surprised. He knew Zhao Yongjun's alcohol tolerance. How could he be so drunk with half a kilogram of white wine?
When Wu Qiang was in the army, he had seen Zhao Yongjun at his craziest. He directly drank half a kilogram of white wine. Although he was a little older now, he shouldn't have deteriorated so much!
He also paid special attention to Xia Ruofei's condition and found that Xia Ruofei was as if nothing had happened. He thought to himself, "Could it be that the old Company Commander drank these two bottles of wine? Then what did Boss Xia drink? "
With a trace of doubt, Wu Qiang helped Zhao Yongjun to the guest room.
Xia Ruofei also got up and returned to the master's courtyard in the middle to rest. Wu Xiujuan and Xia Xiaolan immediately went to the dining room to clean up the leftovers.
After sleeping for the whole afternoon, Xia Ruofei got up and walked to the courtyard in the evening. He found that Zhao Yongjun had also come out rubbing his sleepy eyes.
It seemed that he was in good condition.
This was the good thing about Drunken Eight Immortals. Although the aftereffects were quite strong, they recovered very quickly after sleeping. Moreover, it was basically not harmful to the body. Many people would have symptoms such as headaches after a hangover, but Drunken Eight Immortals definitely would not.
At night, Zhao Yongjun originally didn't want to drink anymore, but Xia Ruofei joked that it was best to "fight poison with poison" and that alcohol was the best way to cure the hangover. Moreover, he had also carefully prepared low-alcohol sweet wine. Zhao Yongjun was reluctant, but he still let Wu Qiang pour him some wine.
After tasting it, Zhao Yongjun naturally praised it. He didn't mention that he didn't drink at night anymore. Instead, he frequently clinked glasses with Xia Ruofei.
After dinner, Xia Ruofei originally wanted to let Zhao Yongjun stay in the courtyard house, but he insisted on going back. Therefore, Xia Ruofei asked Wu Qiang to drive Zhao Yongjun's car to send him back, and then he would take a taxi back.
After sending Zhao Yongjun off, Xia Ruofei returned to the master bedroom in the middle courtyard. He first took a shower, then turned on the computer to check the email again.
This time, Xia Ruofei finally saw the email from Old Blake. He was refreshed and quickly opened it.
It was indeed the content he wanted, including the situation of the Grasso Family, the Gehrman Family, some of the situation of Toles, and even the distribution of the Mafia forces in Italy. It could be said that it was very detailed and efficient, which made Xia Ruofei very satisfied.
He carefully read the email from beginning to end, and then replied to Old Blake with an email, expressing his gratitude and reminding him to delete the email as soon as possible.
Xia Ruofei also deleted the email himself. After reading it once, he remembered all the content in his mind. To be cautious, he quickly deleted the email. He was not afraid of trouble, but he didn't want the Blake Family to provoke the Mafia. After all, they spared no effort to help him collect information.
After deleting this email, Xia Ruofei sat at the desk and fell into deep thought for a long time …
The situation was slightly more complicated than he expected. The Gehrman Family was actually a vassal family of the Glorious Society, one of the four oldest Mafia organizations in Italy.
In Italy, the Mafia organization's forces were intricate. Ten years ago, they were mainly active in the southern part of Italy. The security of industrial cities like Turin and Milan was relatively good, but in recent years, the Mafia's tentacles had spread throughout Italy and even the whole of Europe.
Monica's Grasso Family was located in Turin.
They were in the truffle business. Italy's famous truffle production area, Alba, was actually a town under Italy's Piedmont region. Turin was Italy's third largest city and also the capital of Piedmont region.
The Glorious Society started in Italy's Calabria region. This organization's "main business" was drug trafficking and money laundering. A report in 2013 showed that the Glorious Society's annual profit was about 53 billion euros, which was more than the profit of McDonald's and Deutsche Bank that year. In the world, there were 60,000 people directly or indirectly involved in their criminal activities.
In Calabria, the hometown of the Glorious Society, the organization's real estate was everywhere. From restaurants to supermarkets to highways and bridges, there were traces of their hands. Compared with other J organizations, the organization's characteristics were that it was obviously a family style, with a large number of relatives and connections.
The Gehrman Family slowly developed and became one of the many Mafia families in Italy because they had a cousin relationship with a big boss in the Glorious Society. s3();
Xia Ruofei didn't expect that there was such a huge monster behind the Gehrman Family. The Glorious Society's assets were even more than those of world-class tycoons like Tang He and Li Yifu. The power of such a criminal organization was quite terrifying.
Of course, Xia Ruofei didn't shrink back because of this. Instead, he was full of fighting spirit.
Of course, he also felt that his decision to change his identity was very correct.
Now, he had a lot of fetters. Only by completely changing his identity could he go to Italy without any scruples. Otherwise, if he was targeted by such a terrible Mafia family, he might be fine, but what about his relatives and friends? No matter how powerful he was, it was impossible to protect all the people close to him all the time.
Xia Ruofei slowly digested the information provided by Old Blake, and began to deduce various action plans in his mind.
This was a habit that Xia Ruofei had developed in the army. He had to consider all the possibilities as much as possible.
Of course, everything was changing. Xia Ruofei hadn't arrived in Italy yet, and it was completely impossible to predict what would happen when the time came. Therefore, he could only make a rough plan.
Xia Ruofei sat quietly in front of the desk for more than half an hour before she stood up and lay down on the bed. She covered her head and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Xia Ruofei drove to the Italian Embassy in Huaxia.
Zhao Yongjun had already paved the way for him in advance, so the visa was very smooth. After the Consular Officer asked a few questions as per his routine, he quickly stamped the document.
Of course, Xia Ruofei standing in front of the consular officer had changed his appearance in advance. He was exactly the same as the photo on the visa.
After leaving the embassy, Xia Ruofei went to the mall without stopping to buy some clothes and necessities, and then returned to the courtyard house.
He put all the things he bought into the Ring-Tu space, and then immediately turned on the computer to check the flight information.
