Chapter 711: 711
The NH-90 transport aircraft took Xia Lei to a private hospital in Paris .
The doctor did a checkup on Xia Lei’s body . There wasn’t anything too serious but he told Xia Lei to stay in the hospital to be monitored for one day . Xia Lei accepted readily . He treated the hospital like a hotel, and the first thing he did in the hospital was to take a shower .
A nurse stood in the hospital ward, waiting for Xia Lei to finish his shower so that she could treat his wounds . Jacqueline Eva walked in . She did not say anything but pointed to the door . The nurse glanced at Jacqueline Eva with dissatisfaction but still left the ward . She wanted to clean Xia Lei’s wounds but she understood that Jacqueline Eva was a woman whom she could not afford to upset .
Jacqueline Eva took a bath towel and walked into the bathroom .
The bathroom was filled with the sound of pouring water . She could not see Xia Lei but she knew that he was inside . Her brain could not help but remember everything that happened in the room that night, till the point of time where three masked people had barged into the room . . .
‘Those three masked people won against my two subordinates and two Gendarmerie special agents . Their strength is incredible . They carefully planned their operation but Xia Lei escaped just by jumping the car . Isn’t this a little too simple?’ Suspicion rose in her heart .
In the bathroom, warm water trickled down Xia Lei’s body . The dozens of cuts on his body burned . Xia Lei grinned as he grumbled, “That Amanda, I did not offend her, did I? I told to make some wounds on my body but she actually threw a rock at me and whipped me with a tree branch…”
Of course you would need to be stoned and whipped with a tree branch to achieve the kind of wounds you would get if you were to roll down from a car . Amanda had to be ruthless if they wanted to hide the truth from Jacqueline Eva’s eyes .
The sound of footsteps came from outside the bathroom door, soft and slow, giving one the feeling that it was creeping closer .
Xia Lei turned to look . His left eye twitched and he saw Jacqueline Eva . In her hands was a towel . The towel in her hands was clearly unnecessary because he had brought a towel into the bathroom .
‘Did she come… to continue asking me asking my escape process, or something else?’ A wry smile formed on Xia Lei’s lips .
When he left Italy, he could have actually returned straight to China . Going straight back would have been the safest option, but it would not be the most logical option . There were two reasons he had chosen to come back to France .
The first reason was that he had been kidnapped in France . The French intelligence officers were looking for him all over the world, and if he somehow showed up in China, France would definitely send people to China to ask about the situation . By then, not only would he have to face the French but also some people in China . He did not want those who should not know about it to know what happened in France and Italy .
The second reason was the French International Weapons Exhibition . This was a step that must be taken for Thunder Horse Military Factory to step outside of China and become the world’s strongest military enterprise . The French International Weapons Exhibition was the world’s biggest arms exhibition, and it was the best stage . He wanted to conquer this stage, he wanted to send a message to the world of arms dealing — The Thunder Horse Military Group is coming!
Whether for personal reasons or in consideration of Thunder Horse Group;s future, he needed to come to France .
Outside the door, Jacqueline Eva lightly shook her head, and then walked to the bathroom door . She knocked . “Mr Xia, I brought a bath towel for you . ”
“Um . ” Xia Lei said awkwardly, “I brought a towel in myself . ”
Jacqueline Eva replied, “I know . But the hospital’s towels are used by everyone . It is not sanitary . I brought you a new towel . ”
Xia Lei was speechless .
Jacqueline Eva reached out and pushed the door open .
Xia Lei let out a yell .
Jacqueline Eva calmly walked into the bathroom . She took down the towel that Xia Lei had hung on the wall and then hung up the towel that she brought in .
“I’ve seen it before . ” Jacqueline Eva stared at Xia Lei . “So you do not need to cover it up . ”
Xia Lei did not know what to say .
“Be quick . I will help you treat the wounds on your body when you’re done showering . ”
“You will help me treat my wounds?”
“That’s right . The nurses and doctors have left,” said Jacqueline Eva . She showed no hint of leaving the bathroom .
Xia Lei smiled bitterly . “I cannot shower with you staring at me like this . ”
