Chapter 014: Let's go to Dragon City
After returning to Dubai, Zeid spent two days dealing with the five Arab bodyguards, and out of guilt, he personally inquired about the arrangements for their families, even the smallest details.
And, he also began to work on the selection of new bodyguards. Zeid accepted Yang Fan's suggestion, and he decided not to hire anyone from outside the Arab world to serve as his bodyguard.
On the afternoon of returning to Dubai, the Reverse Scale team also arrived in Dubai. Evan arranged for them to be placed in a five-star hotel not far from the Galleon, just across the Jet Al Arab from the JTF's hotel, so they didn't have to worry about being bumped into by the JTF.
On this day, it happened to be China's National Day, and Zeid did not arrange any outings that day. Kevin, Sokolov, Ian and Jason offered to stay and protect Zaid and buy some free time for Yang Fan, Han Long and Zhao Erhu.
Parker is reluctant to go out, he prefers to be quiet, and is ready to stay in the villa to accompany Ashley, who has been on a lot of tasks recently, and he has not had time to accompany Ashley. Ever since their brother and sister met, Parker seemed to be going to pay her back the lump sum he owed to Ashley, and he was almost always by her side whenever he could.
Except for the five of them who stayed in the villa, the rest decided to go out for a walk.
Han Long is going to meet Han Meng, and he wants to take the people of the Reverse Scale Squad to the Burj Khalifa and the shopping mall in Dubai. He knew that Han Meng, Li Yibin and others had never been to Dubai, and they didn't have the time and money to come to this kind of place to spend, which was a way that Han Long could think of to compensate his brother and repay Li Yibin and others.
Bruce and Natalie offered to go together, they had been learning from Kuaishou for two days in Chinatown, but they were still far from it, and they wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to learn more.
At the same time, they also found an opportunity to "honor" this master.
Zhao Erhu ran out of ideas for a while, sat on the sofa in the living room of the villa in a daze, turned his head to look at Yang Fan and said, "Brother Yang, where are you going to go?" Do you want me to come with you? β
Yang Fan smiled faintly: "I don't know, I may have to call my sister." Huzi, you don't have to accompany me, it's your first time in Dubai, so it's better to go out with everyone. β
"That's right, Huzi, come with us! The boss also has his own things to do, and in this case, you don't need your help. β
Bruce put his arm around Zhao Erhu's shoulders and winked at him meaningfully.
Zhao Erhu nodded and said, "Okay then, Brother Yang." If you don't have anything to do, come to us. β
"Okay, I see, you guys have fun."
Han Long, Bruce, Natalie, Zhao Erhu, and Younas drove out of Zaid's manor in two cars together. Yang Fan stood alone in front of the golf course after seeing them off, and he remembered the scene when Durant drove them here for the first time a few days ago.
For Durant, he actually doesn't hold a grudge against him, and even understands him very well. To a certain extent, Durant and Yang Fan are very similar, and neither is willing to give in to their fate.
The difference is that Yang Fan will never get what he wants at the cost of hurting others.
Yang Fan turned around and walked back to the villa, and accidentally saw the villa to the right of Zayed's residence. Durant said that the villa on the left was used by Zaid to entertain guests. On the right, Zayd's butlers, servants, and bodyguards should live. Yang Fan wanted to go over and take a look, but he was a little scared.
Although the three villas are very close to each other, each villa is inhabited by completely different people, which also reflects the so-called "difference in status". This may be the intuitive embodiment of fate, everyone lives in the same manor, breathes the same air, bathes in the same sunshine, but everyone's identity and status are very different, this is the arrangement of fate.
Yang Fan sighed and stopped looking at the villa, he was afraid that he would identify more and more with Durant's approach, and even become such a person. Complaints about the injustice of fate, like the plague, are contagious, and it will penetrate into the depths of your soul and stir at the evil seed in your heart.
Yang Fan sighed softly, picked up the phone and dialed Yang Yan's number, but not surprisingly, this time it was not connected. He was just about to turn around and walk towards the villa, when he suddenly remembered something, stopped, and dialed Ouyang Jing's phone again.
The prompt tone only rang, and Ouyang Jing picked up the phone.
"Hi. Yang Fan! Ouyang Jing said excitedly.
"Hi, Lancey. Happy birthday! β
Yang Fan remembered Ouyang Jing's birthday, because her birthday was so special, it happened to be the day of the National Day.
"Thank you, thank you, Yang Fan. You really remember my birthday, thank you! β
Yang Fan smiled slightly, and then asked, "Of course I remember." And what are you going to do todayβ"
"I didn't arrange it, Sister Liang said that the situation is special now, and this year is not a birthday. Just...... Chen Hao bought me a birthday cake, and that's it. β
"What about you...... Is there time? Can it come out? β
"Yes, yes. Sister Liang said, you can give me a day off today, I can arrange it freely! β
"Well, I'd like to treat you to dinner. And then...... Actually, I haven't been to Dubai either. β
Yang Fan is also the first time to come to Dubai, and his impression of Dubai is still through other people's descriptions, and he never thought that he would ask a girl out here.
Ouyang Jing agreed to himself so happily that he couldn't figure out where to go for a while. Fortunately, Ouyang Jing took the initiative to help him solve this problem.
"Then let's go to DragonMart!"
Ouyang Jing said: "There is no Chinatown in Dubai, it is the place where you can feel the Chinese atmosphere the most, why don't we go there!" β
βDragonMartοΌ Okay, although I'm not very familiar with it, you can go if you want, then I'll pick you up! β
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Yang Fan hurriedly ran back to his room, changed into a set of clothes, and took out the pink horse pendant he had been wearing from his luggage.
Looking at the pistol that had been placed next to the bed, he hesitated a little, but still hung the FNX-45 pistol in the quick-draw holster under his armpit. Although he didn't think there would be any danger this time, he always felt that it was safer to carry a pistol with him.
Yang Fan used to often hear people say that after doing this business for a long time, he felt uncomfortable without a gun as if he was not wearing clothes, and now he really felt it.
However, for them, the awareness of danger is the most important, and it is better to be sensitive than to lose their lives on the battlefield.
Yang Fan drove to the door of Ouyang Jing's hotel, and Ouyang Jing saw Yang Fan and immediately walked out of the hotel.
She wore a pale pink dress and a pair of white boots today, and her hair was carefully groomed, and she looked very fashionable and youthful.
Yang Fan lowered the window and beckoned to Ouyang Jing, Ouyang Jing also waved to see it, and then trotted all the way to Yang Fan's car, opened the car door, sat in the car seat, and said to Yang Fan with a happy face: "Okay, let's go." β
"Good. Lancey ...... That one...... Are you ...... today? It's beautiful! β
Yang Fan said in a voice that he could barely hear, and then immediately started the car and left the hotel.
"What did you just say?" Ouyang Jing tilted her head to Yang Fan's side and asked slightly teasingly.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing? That one...... Zhang Xiaobin: What are they doing today? He is a Chinese soldier, so he should attach great importance to the National Day! β
Ouyang Jing shook her head and said, "I don't know, probably stay in the hotel." Actually, we don't usually see each other much except when we have meetings.
I always feel ...... We still have some secrets between us, you know, although we are the same task force, but the positions of Huaxia Continent and Xiangjiang are not completely identical. β
"Really?" Yang Fan felt a little embarrassed at this time, he was inexplicably nervous every time he faced Ouyang Jing, and he now regretted coming out alone with Ouyang Jing.
Ouyang Jing seemed very happy, chatting with Yang Fan all the way, and even described the situation of DragonMart all over again, Yang Fan nodded again and again, he felt that although he had not yet arrived at DragonMart, he was already very familiar with it.
DragonMart is a large Chinese merchandise market built in the desert 15 kilometers southeast of Old Dubai.
The mall is a dragon-shaped building, consisting of two dragon heads, eleven dragon bodies, and one dragon tail. The dragon head is very large, there are three or four dragon body so big, and it is two layers, the dragon body, the dragon tail is one layer, the word curve is arranged, the outside middle is a translucent FRP vault, both sides are metal scales, from the sky is really a shining dragon, so, the Chinese people call it "Dragon City".
Yang Fan parked the car in the parking lot outside and came to the gate of the mall with Ouyang Jing. There is also a fountain of two dragons playing with pearls in the square outside the dragon's head, and the water is sprayed from a circle of dragons on the side of the pool to the dragon balls in the pool.
Both sides of the mall are already covered with national flags, as well as big red letters that read "Celebrate the National Day". The two came to the mall, there are more tourists today than usual, on both sides of the mall are some Chinese vendors, there are many kinds of goods inside, from generators, auto parts, to artificial bead chains, there are really a lot of goods.
But the most here is based on house decoration and decoration, what decoration tools, decoration materials, sanitary ware, wooden doors, door locks, furniture, safes, carpets, lighting, bedding, picture frames, furnishings, etc., are some practical daily necessities, completely without any mood. It's not a great place to shop and chat.
Yang Fan was not very interested in these things, and Ouyang Jing was also a little disappointed, just browsing casually, as if she had lost interest.
Yang Fan asked Ouyang Jing: "Have you been here before?" β
Ouyang Jing said with an embarrassed face: "No." I was in Dubai three years ago, but I didn't get there because of the urgency. What I just told you is what I heard. It seems that this is not reliable!
This time, I wanted to make up for my regrets, but I didn't expect ...... Yang Fan, I think you might like the things and environment of Huaxia more. And in Dubai, there is no Chinatown. So ......"
"Thank you." Yang Fan didn't expect Ouyang Jing to still think about him, and said gratefully: "Today is your birthday, since you don't like it here, otherwise we will change places." β
"No, I don't really care where I'm going!" Ouyang Jing continued: "I heard that there is a restaurant called 'Shantu Restaurant' here, which is not bad, why don't we go and have a bite to eat." β
"Okay, let's go!"
Yang Fan was not very hungry, and thought that instead of wandering around here boringly, it was better to find a place to sit. The two of them looked around in Dragon City and finally found the restaurant.
