Chapter 97 Gu Yannian Appears in Xuan Country
Xuan Kingdom, this mysterious, beautiful and dangerous country, its capital, Colorida, is full of fantasy and charm.
Gu Yannian knew very well that his act of hiring a killer would soon be discovered by the Lan family, so he had already fled far away and set foot on foreign land.
It has been nearly a month since he came to Xuan Country, but he has not been able to obtain any news reports about the Lan family in the country.
This made Gu Yannian feel uneasy, either the killer he hired had not taken action.
Or maybe this kind of news has been strictly blocked by the Lan family. In any case, the country is no longer safe.
Gu Yannian had previously taken out the one million given by Li Zhong, and after deducting the cost of hiring a killer, he had cashed out the rest of the money.
After arriving in Xuan Country, he exchanged all the money into Xuan Currency. He opened a new account and deposited all the money into it.
At this moment, Gu Yannian slowly opened the curtains of the hotel room. He was on the 28th floor, overlooking the bustling streets and the endless stream of vehicles below.
However, the hotel he was staying in was one of the most luxurious places in the capital of Xuan Country, so the cost was naturally high. In just one month, he had already spent a lot of money.
Gu Yannian was a little short of money recently, and even began to save money on cigarettes. He took a last puff of the cigar and threw it into the ashtray.
He reached out and grabbed a piece of bread from the plate and began to wolf it down along with the wine provided by the hotel.
After drinking the last drop of wine in the glass, he licked the rim of the glass greedily, as if he could taste more wine. After the bread in his hand was also finished, he licked his fingers again with satisfaction.
Gu Yannian went into the bathroom and washed himself thoroughly. Then, he put on the expensive suit he had bought with great effort - it was his only decoration when he went out, and it was also the spiritual pillar that enabled him to think that he could compete with the upper class.
He opened the door expressionlessly, trying to appear indifferent so that others would not notice his embarrassment.
However, as soon as he stepped out of the door, he collided with a cleaning cart that was pushed over. The rag on the cart rubbed his suit squarely, which made Gu Yannian feel that his nobility was greatly insulted.
He immediately yelled at the cleaning lady: "You bitch, you don't have eyes!"
His voice was full of anger and disdain, as if the cleaning lady had committed some unforgivable sin.
The cleaning lady was so frightened that she didn't know what to do. She could only stand there and silently endure Gu Yannian's scolding.
Only after Gu Yannian greeted the cleaning lady's ancestors for eighteen generations did he feel a little calmer.
He patted the part of his suit that was rubbed by the rag, glared at the cleaning lady, and then turned and left. After a few steps, he arrived at the elevator entrance.
At this moment, the cleaning lady saw Gu Yannian's figure disappear around the corner, and immediately changed her timid look to a contemptuous expression. She spoke a lot in the gorgeous Mandarin that Gu Yannian could not understand.
The general meaning of these words is: "This poor bastard comes to the hotel every day to enjoy the free drinks and breakfast. Two days ago, he even sneaked into the lobby to steal cigars!"
"If I hadn't been laughed at by other customers, I would have definitely stolen it again."
"He looks like he's trying to take advantage of something. Now the manager has even cut off his free drinks and breakfast. Humph, let's see how arrogant he can be."
The sound was neither loud nor soft, but it was just loud enough for Gu Yannian who was waiting for the elevator to hear.
However, since Gu Yannian did not understand the language of Xuan Country, when he turned around the corner of the corridor, he could only see the back of the cleaning lady pushing the cart away.
After leaving the hotel, Gu Yannian stood quietly at the door of the hotel, watching the people around him who were dressed in bright and beautiful clothes and had prominent status being picked up by special vehicles.
However, this service requires additional payment. Previously, he had chosen the pick-up service when he went out, but thinking that the money he had was getting less and less, Gu Yannian thought for a moment and decided to walk.
He was wearing an expensive suit, which contrasted sharply with the crowd coming and going on the street and looked out of place.
After walking for about ten minutes, a casino came into view. In Xuan Country, casinos can be found everywhere. When Gu Yannian first came here, he also wanted to satisfy his gambling addiction, but he only lost about 200,000 yuan before giving up.
After that, he shamelessly ate free food in the casino for a few days, but within two days, he was kicked out.
In the past few days, Gu Yannian has been thinking about how to use the remaining money to start a small business. He is confident that he has a talent in this area and believes that he will be able to expand his business soon.
Gu Yannian strolled for a long time on the bustling street, his eyes lingering among the various shops and vendors.
He carefully observed their business methods and made some calculations in his mind. However, when he examined the money in his hands, he found that he was powerless in the face of big business and had no interest in small business.
At this moment, he felt hungry and his stomach started to growl. He looked at the stalls on the roadside and noticed a stall selling sesame cakes. He walked up to it and asked, "How much for one?"
The owner of the pancake stall saw that Gu Yannian was speaking Chinese. Because this was the capital, it was very prosperous and many people from all over the world came here.
So most people have learned some languages from other countries. So the boss answered in not very fluent Chinese: "Shaobing...50 coins...one."
Gu Yannian nodded, then raised a finger to indicate that he wanted one.
The boss smiled slightly, then stretched out a dark hand and grabbed a pancake from the oven. Then, he placed many small ingredients that Gu Yannian didn't recognize on the pancake.
Gu Yannian stared at the boss in front of him with wide eyes. He saw him grab a piece of sesame cake from the stove with his black and dirty hands, and then use the same hand to grab a handful of condiments and sprinkle them on the sesame cake.
Finally, the boss picked up a crumpled newspaper, wrapped the pancake, and placed it in front of himself.
Gu Yannian frowned, and a trace of obvious displeasure flashed across his face. However, when he thought of the current predicament, he did not think any more, and quickly took out a fifty-yuan note from his wallet and handed it to the boss, and then took the pancake that the boss handed over.
He walked and ate the pancake. The first bite tasted a bit strange.
Take another bite and it seems to taste pretty good.
But when he took the third bite, he accidentally bit the small ingredients. Suddenly a bitter taste filled his mouth, and he couldn't help but spit it out with a "Pooh".
