"make a deal!"
Upon hearing his agreement, Xiao Shui walked towards the younger students and announced loudly, "Everyone, once you've packed up, we'll head back. Afterwards, Senior Johnson will treat everyone to a seafood platter for supper!"
"Oh! Long live!" Several freshmen cheered immediately.
Johnson: "???"
Is this some kind of scam?
……
An hour later, the group that had been cleaning up the mess the night before returned to their five-star hotel.
This five-star hotel is only 500 meters away from the scene of the crocodile hunt. Norma arranged for them to stay here because of its proximity to the Conti district.
The group went back to their rooms, took showers, changed into their school uniforms, and then returned to the cafeteria.
After receiving the guests' order for a late-night snack, the hotel kitchen immediately got busy, and soon the table was full of seafood.
Siam is a coastal country with abundant seafood. Everyone at school had been eating German roasted pork knuckles and sausages, so being able to have a seafood meal was a real treat.
However, Gu Ran wasn't used to eating raw food, so she only ate a little bit of grilled lobster and stopped there.
Looking at these younger students, Xiao Shui felt happy. She raised her glass and said:
"We'll be parting ways tomorrow, so it's fate that we've all come together. Let's have a drink!"
Johnson thought to himself that he was the one hosting, but Xiao Shui had stolen the limelight.
"cheers!"
The group clinked their glasses. Gu Ran's glass contained cola, and Li Enshu wanted to drink alcohol, but Gu Ran stopped her.
"You're still a minor, you're not allowed to drink." Gu Ran said righteously, stopping her from pouring the wine.
Lee Eun-sook glared at him, but still obediently drank only juice.
She had eaten her fill that night, and leaned close to Gu Ran, saying, "Oppa, aren't you coming back with us tomorrow? Are you going on a trip? I want to go to Siam with you too!"
"Tourism my ass, I have other tasks." Gu Ran pressed her forehead, preventing her from getting any closer. "If you don't go back, that's skipping class, and you'll have to bear the consequences..."
The first class after Li Enshu returned home was Manstein's class. That old man in charge of discipline was very diligent in taking attendance.
"By the way, does Kassel College have parties every night these days?" Johnson asked.
“The student union likes to throw parties. There are many clubs there, and they have a lot of funding and activities,” Susie said.
"That's great!" Johnson exclaimed enviously. "Why didn't I have so many parties back in my day!"
Back then, the student council wasn't as powerful as it is now; the most influential club in the school was the Lionheart Club.
So back then, everyone was proud to join the Lionheart and do missions, and parties and such became less common.
"When I get back, I'll join the Lionheart Society too!" Lee Eun-sook thought to herself, so she could spend more time with Gu Ran oppa.
"Didn't you used to love watching the swimsuit models at the rowing club?" Xiao Shui poured a glass of red wine and smiled at Johnson.
“Indeed, but there weren’t as many pretty girls back then as there are now…” Johnson smiled, glancing at Susie intentionally or unintentionally.
Susie noticed his gaze, but just smiled slightly and then whispered to Gu Ran, ignoring this senior from the executive department.
Gu Ran turned to Susie and seemed to say something. Susie lowered her head and said, "Thank you."
Li Enshu, who was standing nearby, seemed to have enjoyed a delicious snack and insisted on feeding Gu Ran one. Gu Ran had no choice but to eat it.
"The taste is so-so, you can eat it yourself." Gu Ran politely declined Li Enshu's offer to feed him.
Johnson looked at Gu Ran's delicate face and sighed inwardly. Sure enough, beautiful girls all yearn for the blazing sun, while he was just a shadow next to the sun.
"Hey, are you jealous of your junior?" Xiao Shui whispered to Johnson from the side.
"Of course not, I'm just envious," Johnson said honestly.
The sun is too dazzling; those who are jealous of the sun will only bring shame upon themselves in the end.
Johnson understood this very well.
Since the two executives were from the same year, they shared some interesting stories from their school days with their juniors.
Johnson said, "I remember that every year during the physical fitness test, the vice principal would show up. The test consisted of swimming 10,000 meters. Many girls would wear swimsuits, and the vice principal would come down from the clock tower, sit on a beach chair, and happily cheer for the girls."
Xiao Shui said, "The vice principal only likes girls with long legs and big breasts. He's not interested in muscular girls like me with short legs."
Johnson suddenly laughed and said, "Your senior, Xiao Shui, was quite a figure back in the day..."
Chapter 143 Hotel Assassination
After having a couple of drinks, Johnson started making juicy revelations, "Back in the day, the president of the Lionheart Society pursued her..."
"Are you looking to die!" Xiao Shui smacked Johnson on the head. "During your first mission, you saw a dead body, vomited up your stomach contents, and vomited on a British female student..."
“Hey, I told you not to expose my shortcomings!” Johnson said, displeased.
Everyone laughed.
After a few more drinks and a good meal, everyone prepared to leave.
But at that moment, a middle-aged Siamese man in a suit and tie suddenly walked over, speaking Thai, and greeted Xiao Shui and Johnson.
Xiao Shui and Johnson both stood up politely at this moment.
The middle-aged man from Siam looked to be in his fifties, with gray hair. He was well-dressed, wore a gold ring, and had a gentle and refined demeanor.
It's so late, did he come specifically to say hello? Gu Ran wondered to herself.
After exchanging greetings, the middle-aged Siamese man asked the waiter for new glasses, poured wine, and said to his classmates in English:
"Hello students of Kassel College, welcome to Siam for your trip and internship, and welcome to my hotel. I'd like to raise a glass to you all."
The students at Kassel College were all well-mannered, and under the guidance of their senior, Xiao Shui, they also raised their glasses in return.
"Speaking of which, I also loved studying reptiles when I was a child. My family even had a very large chameleon. I liked to put the chameleon on my shoulder. When I wore black clothes, it would turn black, and when I wore blue clothes, it would turn blue."
"When it's on your head, it won't turn green, will it?" Gu Ran blurted out unconsciously.
"What?" The middle-aged man looked at Gu Ran. Gu Ran had just spoken in Chinese, which the Siamese man couldn't understand.
Other students at Kassel College, without a deep understanding of the domestic culture, are also completely confused.
Susie naturally understood the joke, smiled slightly, and pinched Gu Ran's hand in an annoyed manner.
Xiao Shui, who was standing nearby, quickly changed the subject and exchanged a few pleasantries with the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man didn't linger. After offering his toast, he politely made an excuse and left.
Xiao Shui explained to everyone, "He is a member of parliament from Bangkok. This hotel belongs to his family. They have a certain influence in the Siamese security system, and our branch often has to deal with them."
"When you go to other executive departments in the future, you must also maintain good relations with the local forces. This is essential," Johnson advised his juniors.
Gu Ran understood these necessary social activities. After all, they were on someone else's turf, and to get the benefits, they had to be on good terms with the local authorities so that things would be easier for them in the future.
It's past 3 a.m., and this congressman is still awake and in the mood to come to the hotel to offer a toast. It seems this congressman is a true master of time management.
"Doesn't he sleep?" Lee Eun-sook asked the question everyone wanted to ask.
“He said he had just come back from work,” Xiao Shui said. “These political figures have a lot to do every day.”
The group chatted for a while longer before officially parting ways and heading back to their hotel rooms together.
Johnson's lips twitched when he saw the bill, as if he was in some pain.
So Xiao Shui started cheering, "Everyone, let's clap our hands and thank Senior Johnson!"
They gave Johnson plenty of face and provided him with emotional value.
Gu Ran led everyone in clapping and cheering until they stopped talking at the elevator entrance.
This floor is a restaurant, not a place for people to stay, so it doesn't matter if it's a bit noisy, since the soundproofing of a star-rated hotel is quite good.
The group went up to the thirteenth floor together; their rooms were all on the same floor.
Just as I stepped out of the elevator, I suddenly heard two gunshots!
Instinctively, the students of Kassel College immediately moved closer to the wall for cover and paid attention to the surrounding situation.
Because when they arrived at the hotel, they left all their weapons in the room.
Only Gu Ran brought a ninja bag, which contained shuriken and kunai.
"What do you usually do in this kind of situation? Call the police, or pretend you didn't see anything and just go back to your room?" Gu Ran asked the two local enforcement officers.
"Let's see what's going on first." Xiao Shui was carrying a gun, and she took it out and held it in her hand. "Everyone else, go back to your rooms first. Gu Ran and Su Qian, stay here and act with us."
Qi Lan's room happened to be right here. He used his room card to open his room and said, "Classmates, come in here and take shelter for a bit."
The students immediately filed in, except for Li Enshu, who was still peeking out from outside the door.
Gu Ran walked over, pushed her into the room, and closed the door behind him.
He tossed a kunai to Susie, then took a kunai and a shuriken in his own hand, preparing to investigate.
At that moment, two more gunshots rang out.
The gunshot came from the last room in the corridor.
Suddenly, a masked man walked out of the room. As soon as he saw Gu Ran and the other three, he raised his hand and fired a shot.
Everyone immediately sought cover.
Upon seeing him, Gu Ran dodged and immediately threw a shuriken as well.
The two were only twenty meters apart, a distance from which Gu Ran's shuriken was virtually unerring.
But to his surprise, he didn't hear the sound of the sword hitting someone; instead, it pierced the wall.
It didn't hit anyone!
Gu Ran stood there stunned for a moment.
Something is not right.
Xiao Shui, holding a pistol, prepared to retaliate, but before she could fire, the masked man jumped out of the window and left.
Gu Ran quickly chased to the window, opened her eyes wide, and tried to see through the mask to get a clear look at the masked man's face.
But the masked man got on a motorcycle, turned his back to Gu Ran, and drove away.
