Chapter 317: Chapter 170: The 2nd Item_2

Under the collection of intelligence by the Auxiliary Brain, that collector’s information suddenly appeared in Yan Fei’s mind. The collector was a low-key tycoon, sadly childless, so as early as two years ago he signed a will to donate all his collected items to the Louvre Museum upon his death. Unfortunately, he just passed away two days ago, so his lawyer immediately acted according to the will and donated all the artworks to the Louvre Museum.

The collector truly existed, and his will was made two years ago, which made Yan Fei breathe a sigh of relief. He felt that the collector’s donation of artworks likely wasn’t a trap or a scheme to deceive him. After all, two years ago Yan Fei had not yet obtained the Drone, so nobody would have set up a plot against him in advance.

Once he confirmed the collector’s genuine information, Yan Fei began gathering intelligence about the Louvre Museum on the Internet. Among this intelligence, what interested him most was the Louvre Museum’s terrain map. There were countless pieces of information about the Louvre Museum on the Internet, but with the filtering by the Auxiliary Brain, Yan Fei quickly found the important information, allowing him to fully restore the terrain map of the Louvre Museum.

There were also terrain maps of the Louvre Museum circulating online. However, after comparing the map he had restored with the circulating ones, Yan Fei discovered that the latter had several obvious errors. After a moment of thought, he understood that these circulated maps must have been released by the officials on purpose, aiming to mislead others into dangerous grounds and thus protect the safety of the items in the Louvre Museum.

The terrain map of the Louvre Museum that Yan Fei had restored was calculated and analyzed from countless photos and videos taken by tourists. Except for those areas that had never been opened to the public, the accuracy of the restored map was at least 95%. On the other hand, the circulated map had at least 30% errors; its purpose was to mislead people. By contrast, Yan Fei trusted his own restored map more.

While Yan Fei was quietly strategizing about how to acquire that rusted disc, the hotel accommodation procedures had all been completed. So without further ado, Yan Fei decided to check into the hotel first. Ritz Hotel was located by the Seine River, with a very beautiful scenery by the river, so Lu Pingping took care of Yan Fei and arranged for his room to be on the side close to the Seine River. Next door to Yan Fei’s room was Lu Pingping’s.

Just as they had settled into the Ritz Hotel, staff from the Chinese Embassy in France came to them. They had come to assist Dream Technology with the identification procedures of the deceased employees. Having stayed in France for many years, these embassy workers were truly local experts. With their guidance and mediation, Yan Fei and the others were bound to face fewer troubles.

After a brief preparation, led by the embassy workers, they exited the elevator and arrived at the ground floor lobby of the Ritz Hotel. That’s when Yan Fei saw Wu Jiechao grinning foolishly at them in the lobby. Next to Wu Jiechao stood an impressive-looking middle-aged Chinese man.

As soon as Wu Jiechao saw Yan Fei, he approached with the middle-aged man, casually greeting him, “Mr. Yan, hello! Let me introduce you, this is my father, Wu Daode.”

During Wu Jiechao’s last visit to Dream Technology headquarters, he first made an apology to Yan Fei under the pretense of seeking forgiveness and then tried to deceitfully discuss the world agency rights for the Weight Loss Cookies, only to be exposed and sent away by Yan Fei. Yan Fei had thought Wu Jiechao would feel awkward upon seeing him again, but to his surprise, Wu Jiechao seemed to have completely forgotten the unpleasantness and greeted Yan Fei as if they were very familiar, which amused and astounded Yan Fei.

But upon hearing that the middle-aged man was Wu Jiechao’s father, Wu Daode, Yan Fei still reached out politely to shake his hand, saying, “Mr. Wu, it’s an honor to meet you!”

Wu Jiechao also wanted to shake hands with Yan Fei, but he was ignored. He awkwardly retracted his hand, smiling to cover up his embarrassment.

Wu Daode said, “Mr. Yan, I have heard much about you! I must apologize to you and your employees. I am very ashamed that I couldn’t ensure the safety of your company’s staff.”

Wu Daode spoke with vigour, and he was speaking Mandarin, his pronunciation much more standard than that of Wu Jiechao. Had Yan Fei not known that Wu Daode was a Chinese expatriate in France, he might have mistaken him for a native Chinese person.

Yan Fei replied, “Mr. Wu, I’ve already discussed the specifics with Mr. Jie Chao, and really, this incident has nothing to do with you. There’s no need for you to apologize.”

Wu Daode glanced at Wu Jiechao. The once-beaming Wu Jiechao suddenly shrank his neck and fell silent. Wu Daode then said, “Mr. Yan, I am truly sorry. I am aware of the incident where my son lied in front of you, and I have already punished him severely. I hope you can forgive him.”

Yan Fei generously said, “It is understandable for young people to be a bit impulsive. However, the greatest kindness lies in their willingness to correct their ways.”

Lu Pingping rolled her eyes beside them. Yan Fei was even younger than Wu Jiechao, yet here he was, pretending to be an elder chastising him. But since she was with Yan Fei and also found Wu Jiechao disagreeable, naturally she wouldn’t openly criticize the way Yan Fei spoke.
