Very Pure and Ambiguous: The Prequel

12. First arrival in Venice

After leaving the hospital, I felt very complicated, with self-blame and regret. Although Yang Mei's illness cannot be entirely caused by me, I may be responsible for most of it.

Lu Hongtao called me and told me that he had found the person who bought the house, but he could not contact Yang Mei's family. These are not important anymore. I already know the approximate whereabouts of Yang Mei, so Lu Hongtao asked Went to rest.

I called Liu Yue and Meng Qingqing and told them about Yang Mei.

"What, you said Yang Mei has congenital heart disease." Liu Yue said in surprise and worry. ;

"Yes, and it's serious," I sighed,

"Can't it be treated? If money is needed, our company can take care of it," Liu Yue said without hesitation after hearing this.

"Do you think I will be stingy with this little money? Let alone Yang Mei. Even if it is an ordinary friend who is in trouble, I will not sit idly by." I smiled bitterly: "The key problem is that it is no longer money. The problem is that the success rate of this operation is very low, and there is almost no possibility of success. "It is only 1999, and the level of medicine is not very developed. ,

"Then what should we do? We can't just watch her leave us like this," Liu Yuehe asked anxiously, "Hurry up and think of a way."

"Haha, don't worry." I smiled and said, "Listen to me first."

"Why are you laughing? It's been all this time and you're still laughing," Liu Yue said angrily.

: "Didn't I say it? Please tell me slowly. Although Yang Mei's disease is almost untreatable from a medical point of view, I am 99% sure to cure her." I laughed Then he said: "So I am going to find Yang Mei."

"Really?" Liu Yue knew my ability. If I said I was sure, it meant I was really sure. So when he heard what I said, he smiled knowingly, "That's great. I support it." You, go find Yang Mei, Qingqing and I are at home, you should rest assured."

"I think so too, so I'm going to say hello to you and I'll be leaving for Venice soon," I said.

"Do you want me to book a flight for you?" Liu Yue asked.

"Okay, I'll go to the company later," I nodded. As for the passport issue, there was no need to worry at all. After I walked up to the front desk, Liu Yue had already helped me apply for visas for various countries. Due to the transcendent and special international status of Shuguang Group, , so the visa is very easy to pass.

After cleaning up all this,

I set out on my journey to Venice,

Venice is located in the northeastern part of Italy. It is an important port on the northwest coast of the Adriatic and Venetian Gulf. Strangely enough, Venice is a city composed of a group of small islands, with as many as 118...

Moreover, the hot springs in Venice are all built on the water, and the main means of transportation is boats. What I find interesting is that such a water city actually has a dedicated airport.

Venice Airport, whose full name is Venice # 8566, Marco Polo Airport (), named after the great traveler Marco Polo, is 13 kilometers away from the center of Venice. It mainly operates domestic flights in Italy, but even if there is an airport , in 1999, there was still no direct flight from China to Venice, and it had to be transferred in other cities in Italy. I can’t remember when this route was opened in my previous life. It was probably in 2007. Years or so, that's not what I care about after all. ,

Two days later, I showed up at Marco Polo Airport in Venice. There was no one I was familiar with here. Sugon’s headquarters in Italy is located in Milan. Although there is an office here, I didn’t want to trouble them.

I plan to find a place to settle down first. After all, Yang Mei cannot be rushed. Even if it is relatively easy to find a Chinese in a foreign city, it is not always easy.

I boarded a water taxi that is very unique here. It is actually a small speedboat on the water. It can only be seen in the waters of Venice, but there is no such thing in China.

I knew Italian in my previous life, so I didn’t have any difficulty communicating with people.

"Man, are you here for a trip or for business?" As soon as we got on the boat, the driver saw that I could speak Italian, so he started chatting with me.

"I'm,,,,, it's a trip, but actually I'm dealing with some personal matters." Since I arrived in Venice, I was not far away from meeting Yang Mei, so I was in a good mood, so I started chatting with him.

"Haha, there are not many Chinese here, and even fewer who can speak Italian." The driver smiled and said, "Is this your first time doing this?"

"Yeah, but I learned a little about it on TV before," I came here once in my previous life because of work, but it was in 2010, and I wasn't very impressed.

"Venice is nice. It's a very touristic city with many special features. How about it? Do you need a chartered car? I can serve you at any time!" The driver began to promote the business.

I thought about it. Anyway, I was looking for Yang Mei and needed a car, so I nodded and said, "Okay, but what should I do on land?"

"That's no problem. My brother drives a taxi on land. If you want to go by land, use his car. If you want to go by water, come to me. And you need to pay a fee." The driver said.

"Okay, then I'll rent your car. What do you call me?" I don't care about the cost. The key is that seeing how enthusiastic he is, I really need a guide.

"Don't you want to ask about the price? My name is Mark, and my brother's name is Lu Qi," the driver asked.

"I don't think you will lie to me. If you charge too much, I can rent someone else's car the next day, right?" I laughed.

"Of course, the price of chartering a car is 800 euros per day. Of course, if you need to travel at night, it will have to increase to 1,000 euros." Mark said.

"Eight hundred euros?" I roughly calculated that it was eight thousand Chinese coins, which was expensive enough.

"Don't think it's expensive. This is already the lowest price." Mark saw my questioning tone and thought I was too expensive.

"Okay, it's only eight hundred euros. You can take it around the city with you starting tomorrow." I nodded. This money is nothing to me.

"Okay, where are you going now?" Mark said happily.

: "Help me find a hotel nearby. Come pick me up tomorrow and I'll have a good rest." I said.

: "No problem, there is one nearby. Can it be a four-star one?" Mark asked.

"It doesn't matter, that's pretty much it." I don't have any special requirements for these, as long as the environment is comfortable. After all, I'm not here to enjoy myself. I have a mission, so there's no need to find a five-star hotel. .

When I arrived at the Chioggio Hotel, not far from Piazza San Marco in Venice, I couldn't help but look at the typical European classical building in front of me.

"So, it's not bad." Mark looked satisfied when he saw me, and he was also very proud: "It's the best hotel nearby that retains the characteristics of ancient Venetian architecture. It has a spacious lobby and a charming inner courtyard. It's Venice. Unique among hotels.”

"It's really good," I nodded sincerely. I don't know the rules for hotel star rating here, but this is definitely up to the standard of a five-star hotel in some places.

When I walked into the lobby of the hotel, I felt that this choice was even more worthwhile. A large collection of rare authentic works and some master works are displayed in the lobby of the hotel, and there is also a dedicated "Academy Art Gallery" where preserved Original painting of the famous 'The Tempest' and the Three Philosophers.

I checked in with my passport, exchanged contact information with Mark, and paid him part of the deposit in advance, agreeing to pick me up tomorrow morning.

I asked for a relatively classic room. Although I am not here to enjoy it, it will make people feel comfortable.

After taking a hot bath, I lay on the bed and began to relax with my eyes closed, thinking about how to find Yang Mei's whereabouts. After all, this is not China, nor is it the area where my dark forces are located. It is impossible for me to mobilize official power. To find someone, maybe I can put pressure on the local government through the influence of Sugon or East Asia Dynamics, but in doing so, there is no guarantee that they will really search for her. If they are perfunctory, let Yang Mei know that I want to find her. If you leave here early, you will lose more than you gain.

So I need time and practical observation, and then find the most reasonable plan, so as to ensure that everything is foolproof. Anyway, there are still a few months, so there is no rush at this moment.
