Chapter 319: Chapter 171: Extreme Weather

Yan Fei, Lu Pingping, and Wu Daode casually chatted in the hotel lobby, appearing quite harmonious. However, neither party brought up the matter of agency rights.

The bank cards issued by the Bank of China all bear the UnionPay logo, so these cards can be used in overseas banks as well. With Elena’s help, the bank worker swiftly processed the transaction, and soon the one million Euros from the check was transferred to the bank cards of the victims’ families. After the transfer was complete, Wu Daode and his son stood up, said their goodbyes, and left.

This episode delayed things by an hour. Led by workers from the Chinese Embassy, everyone took a ride to the Paris Police Station. Traffic in Paris was quite congested, and it took over an hour for the coach to reach the police station. Thanks to the communication mediated by workers from the Chinese Embassy, and also with the legal documents carried by two legal experts on Yan Fei’s side, their interaction with the Paris Police Station went very smoothly.

After confirming the data, everyone began the process of claiming the bodies of the deceased in the morgue. Having professionals handle the legal matters made things much easier for Yan Fei and Lu Pingping. However, emotions shifted when they reached the stage of identifying the bodies. When the victims’ families saw their loved ones lying in the coffins, they couldn’t help but burst into tears, despite having been pre-warned of the bad news.

Liu Tingting’s parents and her brother were especially heartbroken when they saw her body. Among all the victims, Liu Tingting’s fate was the most tragic. Her body was covered in scars, with barely a patch of untouched skin. Moreover, she had been beheaded, and her head had been sewn back on after being recovered. Although the makeup done by professionals made the scars invisible, it still looked extremely harrowing.

Liu Tingting’s parents were in constant tears, and upon seeing their tragically deceased daughter, their grief was so overwhelming that they actually fainted from crying. Her brother Liu Hongjie stood to the side, his rage seething, his teeth clenched, loudly swearing revenge for his sister.

Although the process of identification by the living had been completed, the victims’ families couldn’t yet claim their bodies. According to legal procedures, the families still needed to provide their own genes for comparison with the deceased. Only after verifying the genes matched could they claim the bodies. This genetic comparison would take time, but at Yan Fei’s request, embassy workers communicated with the other side to expedite the process. Even so, the comparative results would not be available for 48 hours, meaning the process of claiming the bodies couldn’t be completed until two days later.

After completing these tasks, everyone headed back to the Ritz Hotel for a good rest. For the next two days, all they could do was anxiously await the results of the genetic comparison. However, anticipating this, Pingping had already arranged for a tour guide to take the victims’ families around the Paris downtown area for the next two days to alleviate their sorrow.

In the evening, at Lu Pingping’s invitation, Yan Fei and she took a night tour of Paris. It was Yan Fei’s first visit to Paris, but Lu Pingping had been there several times for work. This time, they were only accompanied by their personal bodyguards. Yan Fei was fascinated by the western architecture so different from China’s and by the foreigners walking the streets.

Then Lu Pingping began to explain to Yan Fei about Paris’s history, geography, famous sights, and historical figures from various periods. Lu Pingping was knowledgeable and made the dull subjects of geography and history come alive in her lucid explanations, impressing Yan Fei, who realized Pingping had this skill. If it weren’t for the fact that they were here to deal with the aftermath for the victims, Yan Fei would have felt it was a wonderful trip.

After completing the tour of Paris’s famous spots, it was already eleven at night. Yan Fei, with his extraordinary physical strength, was naturally fine, but Lu Pingping, being an ordinary person, was exhausted. Upon returning to the hotel, they said goodnight to each other and headed to their rooms to sleep immediately.

The following morning, the victims’ families began their sightseeing in Paris, while Yan Fei and Lu Pingping stayed at the hotel. Just after ten, Yan Fei met Wu Daode, who had come for a visit. Wu Daode said his family would be hosting a private party that evening and wanted to invite Yan Fei to attend. He mentioned that he intended to introduce some friends from France to Yan Fei and also had arranged some special entertainment for him.

Yan Fei declined the invitation with a hint of speculation about Wu Daode’s special arrangements and directly told Wu Daode that Dream Technology would be holding a world Agents meeting at the Ritz Hotel at ten o’clock in the morning five days later. He suggested Wu Daode simply attend that.

Before Yan Fei set off for France, Lu Pingping had sent out invitations to companies interested in the Weight Loss Cookies sales agency rights, inviting them to Paris for the meeting to decide on the distribution of the rights world over. Wu Daode was aware of the meeting but, because of Wu Jiechao’s reckless actions, Yan Fei had a poor impression of Longteng Trade Group and had not invited Wu Daode for the selection of dealers.

As soon as Yan Fei arrived in Paris, Wu Daode approached him, exhibiting an unassuming demeanor which gave Yan Fei a lot of face. Yan Fei knew what Wu Daode’s goal was—nothing more than to secure an invitation to the world Agents conference. It was sensing Wu Daode’s enthusiasm and sincerity that Yan Fei made an exception and gave him an opportunity. However, whether Wu Daode could obtain the agency rights for the France area would depend on his performance at the dealer conference.
