Tranxending Vision - Chapter 712

Chapter 712: 712

Xia Lei left the hospital one day later .

Jacqueline Eva drove Xia Lei back to the Star of Paris Hotel . Xia Lei saw even more French special agents, and people of the French Intelligence Department . These security measures seemed to be on par with that of the security detail of the leader of a country .

Xia Lei understood how determined the French were to get his technology from the exaggerated security measures they had put in place . In that one day in the hospital, Xia Lei had thought carefully about partnering with the French government . If he could work with the Germans, why couldn’t he work with the French? He had already exchanged his technologies for the engine technology and Germany's submarine technology . These exchanges had purely been contributions to the country, and he had not gotten any benefits from them . So . . . why couldn’t he consider his own interests now?

The Thunder Horse Group still had a debt of more than two billion . This debt pressed down on the Thunder Horse Group like a mountain . It restrained the group’s development, and him from showing his abilities . And right at this time, the French were offering a chance for this debt to disappear . As long as he could grasp this chance, he could turn this chance into reality!

A middle-aged woman passed by while he was waiting for the lift, pulling a huge suitcase . But right when Xia Lei thought that she was also a customer who lived in this hotel, the middle-aged woman gave the suitcase to Jacqueline Eva and then left without a word .

Xia Lei looked at the suitcase Jacqueline Eva had in her hands and looked at her . “What’s going on?”

“Is it not obvious?” said Jacqueline Eva with a smile . “I will not let the same thing happen again . I have decided that I will stay with you, protecting you 24/7 . ”

“Wait, are you saying that you are going to stay with me?” asked Xia Lei seriously .

Jacqueline Eva also looked serious . “The room that you’re staying in was provided by the French government . It is a presidential suite . Don’t you think that it is a waste to stay in it by yourself?”

“No, what I meant was…”

Ding . The lift doors opened .

“The lift is here . Let’s go up . ” Jacqueline Eva seemed like she did not want to discuss this matter any longer .

Xia Lei shrugged, nonplussed, and walked into the lift .

It was both a surprise and not to him that Jacqueline Eva would move in to stay with him . The French government had always used her as a special soldier, to trap targets with her beauty, and achieve their goals with the least cost to them . It was not the first time that they had done that . Jacqueline Eva had already had the contract prepared for him that night . He would not sign it, of course, but this would not stop the French government from continuing to act on their intentions .

A light perfume filled the lift as it went up . It was Marie’s Desire . He was very familiar with this scent . It seemed that there were no drugs added to it this time, so he was not affected by it .


“Oh, I almost forgot . I promised that I’d give you Marie’s Desire . I should have given it to you the last time but that incident happened quite unexpectedly that night,” said Jacqueline Eva apologetically . “But it’s fine, I will have someone bring it over tonight . ”

Xia Lei smiled and said ‘thank you’, but he thought to himself, ‘Bringing it over in the night, huh? It must be drugged or something . They’re trying to use a woman to get my technology . . . Do they think that I’m some guy fresh out of prison? I am not at that point where I’d be blinded by lust . If they want my technology, they must give me something of equal value . ’

“What are you thinking about, Mr Xia?” asked Jacqueline Eva .

“Oh, I’m thinking about the weapons exhibition . ”

“Don’t worry, you will succeed . ”

Xia Lei smiled and said nothing more .

Jacqueline Eva really was staying in Xia Lei’s room . This presidential suite had three bedrooms and she picked the one next to Xia Lei’s .

Jacqueline Eva unpacked in her room .

Xia Lei spied through the wall on her next door . He saw Jacqueline Eva take things out, one by one, from her suitcase . She pulled out lingerie which was practically string, a translucent bra, and some French-made birth control pills .

The birth control pills shocked Xia Lei . ‘What did she bring this for? And so many too? Does she want to finish them all up with me?’

It was not the trend to use condoms anymore — birth control pills were in . But wasn’t that number of pills a little too much?

The ace of the French National Security Administration sure was working hard for her nation’s interests .

Jacqueline Eva popped one birth control pill out and swallowed it as Xia Lei watched . The type of birth control pills she took were only effective if taken in advance . She did not even swallow it with water — she ate them like she was eating sweets .

Jacqueline Eva then took out a gun from the suitcase . She placed it under the bed after checking the clip and releasing the safety .

Xia Lei was not surprised by this gun at all .

Jacqueline Eva took out a makeup case from the suitcase .

Xia Lei smiled wryly . ‘Guess she really is planning on staying here . ’

Jacqueline Eva opened the makeup case, took out the foam inside, and gently pressed the hidden switch in the bottom of the case . Then, she stuffed the foam back in, placed the makeup box on the bedside table and adjusted its position .

Xia Lei understood immediately . ‘So it’s a monitoring device . The video was destroyed by me the last time, so is she going to retake one this time?’

The sound of footsteps came from outside the door .

Xia Lei looked over and saw Qing Caiyue standing outside the door .

Qing Caiyue knocked on the door . “Director Xia, are you there?”

Xia Lei saw Jacqueline Eva walk quietly to her bedroom door to listen carefully to the movement outside . Xia Lei found her cautiousness funny . Watching an agent’s spying activity sure was interesting .



Xia Lei stopped using his X-ray vision and got up to open the door for Qing Caiyue .

“Director Xia . ” Qing Caiyue stepped through the door . She asked worriedly, “Where did you go? I was so worried . ”

Xia Lei smiled . “The French president invited me to his vacation place for a holiday . I could not reject it, so I went to socialise . ”

“Huh?” Qing Caiyue’s jaw dropped and she could not close her mouth .

If it were some other man telling her this to her face, she would not believe him and perhaps even kick him . But it was different when those words came out of Xia Lei’s mouth . Not to mention saying that the French president invited Xia Lei for a holiday, she would believe him even if Xia Lei said that the French president’s daughter invited him to the resort for a holiday .

One had to be capable enough to boast too .

“What is there to be surprised about?” Xia Lei said, smiling, “I tripped at the resort . The First Lady helped treat my wound . Now it is finally a little better . ”

Qing Caiyue was speechless .

“Okay, let’s not talk about the resort anymore . ” Xia Lei changed the topic . “How is the setup for our exhibition booth going?”

“It is almost done . I was there just now . The decoration company is working over there . I heard that you came back so I rushed over to see you . ” Qing Caiyue patted her busty chest . “I was so worried about you these past few days . ”

“Aren’t I back now? Go check in at the exhibition hall . The French are very lazy people, so you need to prod at them . ”

“There is no need to rush, Director Xia . Let me see your wounds . It might be time to change the dressing . ” Qing Caiyue looked very enthusiastic .

Knock knock knock .

Jacqueline Eva’s voice could be heard after the knocking . “Mr Xia, do you have a guest?” She pushed the door open and walked straight in right after she spoke, without even waiting for Xia Lei to open it for her .

Qing Caiyue stared at Jacqueline Eva with some dissatisfaction .

“My secretary, Qing Caiyue,” said Xia Lei .

“I know, but I will still send people to guard the door . Miss Qing, please get permission first before you come into the room in the future,” said Jacqueline Eva .

“Why?” Qing Caiyue did not hide her French language skills . She did not hide her anger either .

Jacqueline Eva shrugged . “I’m sorry . I am also just performing my duty . ”



“Director, she…” Qing Caiyue looked at Xia Lei with hurt in her eyes .

Xia Lei spoke in her ear, “This hotel is filled with intelligence officers and agents sent by the French government, so do not cause trouble . What we should be worrying about is the weapons exhibition . Go on . If you do well, I will reward you . ”

The anger in Qing Caiyue’s heart was finally extinguished at Xia Lei’s words . She nodded . “Okay, then I will go to the exhibition hall . ”

“Go on, give me a call if anything comes up,” said Xia Lei .

After Qing Caiyue left, Jacqueline Eva said, “Mr Xia, you have a really good secretary . ”

“Yeah, she does her job well,” said Xia Lei .

Jacqueline Eva laughed . “I am talking about her face and body . ”

Xia Lei did not know what to add to that .

“I am going back to my room to take a shower . ” Jacqueline Eva blinked her sapphire-like eyes at Xia Lei . “Want to go together?”

Xia Lei shook his head, hard .

“Hehe…” Jacqueline Eva giggled, swaying her hips as she left .

She was already preparing for the battle tonight .

For some reason, Xia Lei felt a bit of anticipation .

Xia Lei sat on the sofa alone, thinking, after Jacqueline Eva left .

Ring ring ring, ring ring ring . . .

The phone suddenly rang .

Xia Lei picked up the phone . He did not say anything but grunted .

Yelena’s voice came over the line . “Boss, I have returned to China . I’ve safely brought the thing you gave me to China . Should I keep it at my place or your place?”

Xia Lei lowered his voice . “Give it to my dad . ”



“Should I come back?”

“No need . ” Xia Lei did not chat any further and hung up .

What Yelena brought back to China were the things he had brought out of the labyrinth — da Vinci’s oil paintings and sketches, that silver metal, and da Vinci’s notebook . He did not believe that the notebook that da Vinci left was blank . But if he wanted to research it, he could only do it after he returned to China .

After he finished his conversation with Yelena, Xia Lei got up and went into the bathroom . He took out another satellite phone from the bathroom and dialled a number .

“How heartless . You are finally willing to call me?” A charming voice came through the satellite phone line .

“Fan Fan, I want to talk with you . ”

“You want to talk to me about French women? Or French perfumes?”

“Stop the nonsense . I am talking about serious matters with you . ”

“I’d guessed . Go ahead . ”

Xia Lei was silent for a bit before he finally said, “The French government wants my technology . This is what I think . . . since we had already done a deal with the Germans, then why can’t we do one with the French? It is not worth it if we only sell something once . ”

“A deal with the French? France is America’s little brother, similar to England . Does France dare to bypass America to make a deal with us?”

“I have been observing them lately, and I am sure of their sincerity . Although France is America’s little brother, as long as there is enough of an advantage to be had, they will not be thinking of what America’s opinion is first . What they will think of is what benefit they will get . ”

“I cannot make the decision for such a big matter . ”

“I am not telling you to take be decision-maker . You only need to report to the higher-ups . Tell them that this deal will be the same as the deal with the Germans . It must be done in secret . I need enough authority to handle this, but I also promise to bring back as much profit as we got from the Germans . ”

“All right, I will report to the higher-ups . ”

“You can take this as my congratulatory gift to you for becoming the chief of the ZN Bureau . ”

“This gift of yours is sure a large one . But I want you more than a gift . I have not been with you for such a long time . . . I really miss you . ” Fan Fan’s voice was soft and coy, “When are you coming back? I will make delicious food for you…”

Xia Lei cut the line firmly .
