Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

In the crowd, the red-bearded man was covering the wound on his face, explaining innocently to the police while secretly smugly sizing up the Chinese man beside him.

At that moment, they were genuinely shocked and terrified when they saw that this Chinese man could catch up with their motorcycle, which was traveling at 60 miles per hour, using only his two legs.

However, after the Chinese man kicked his motorcycle over, the red-bearded man immediately shouted to attract passersby, then turned around and accused the Chinese man, saying that he was driving his motorcycle perfectly fine when the Chinese man suddenly jumped out and attacked him, causing him to fall and get injured.

When the police arrived, the red-bearded man became even more agitated, crying and accusing the Chinese man of his brutality and demanding compensation. The Chinese man, who didn't understand Portuguese and could only communicate briefly with the police in English, was completely unable to defend himself.

And this unfortunate Chinese man was, of course, Lu Mingfei.

He finally caught up with the motorcycle and managed to retrieve his luggage and phone, but the two thieves turned into con artists, lying on the ground clutching their arms and walking while pressing their watches.

When the police arrived, they simply listened to both sides of the conversation while silently taking notes.

"I roughly know what's going on."

The policeman closed his notebook, looked at Lu Mingfei, and said:

“Right now, you two have conflicting accounts. You and they both need to come back to the police station with me to give statements. Only after we have collected evidence and completed our investigation can we determine responsibility for this matter. If it is as you say, we will fine and detain them; if it is as they say, then you will have to pay them for medical expenses, and in serious cases, you may even be deported.”

Lu Mingfei was stunned. "Damn it, what are you police officers doing? This is clearly a speeding car accident and a staged accident, and you can't even see it?"

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.

"Lu Mingfei?"

Lu Mingfei was stunned. He subconsciously turned his head and saw Su Xiaoqiang standing in the crowd, her beautiful eyes wide open, looking at him with disbelief.

……

Chapter 206 Stay with us!

"Lu Mingfei?"

Su Xiaoqiang stared blankly at the boy in front of her, blinking several times, somewhat unable to believe her eyes.

How did I end up seeing this guy in Portugal?

Lu Mingfei was taken aback when he saw Su Xiaoqiang suddenly appear, and then hurriedly cried out for help: "Little Fairy, please come and explain this to me, I don't speak Portuguese..."

Seeing Lu Mingfei looking at her with a miserable expression, his dejected look reminiscent of when she first met him in the internet cafe, Su Xiaoqiang couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.

But then she remembered what she had said to Lu Mingfei that day, and the urge to laugh was overwhelmed by a sense of shame and indignation.

In any case... the gloom on Su Xiaoqiang's face did indeed disappear by more than half in that instant.

Bettina, with her hands behind her back, glanced at her cousin.

"How will you be here?"

Although Su Xiaoqiang felt a little embarrassed when she saw Lu Mingfei's face, it seemed that this guy really needed her help. Without hesitation, Su Xiaoqiang immediately stepped forward.

"I...we'll talk about this later. Little Fairy, could you explain this to them for me first?"

Lu Mingfei recounted what had happened to Su Xiaoqiang. Of course, he didn't mention that he caught up with the motorcycle on foot; he only said that the other party tried to steal his luggage but failed and was pulled down by him.

Su Xiaoqiang immediately understood that Lu Mingfei had encountered a motorcycle gang.

Although domestic magazines always say how bad the public security is in China and how good it is abroad, only Su Xiaoqiang and her friends, who frequently travel abroad, know that the public security abroad is far more chaotic than in China. When she traveled to Italy before, her uncle happened to be there too, and she brought back a bottle of her father's rare vintage Maotai liquor to give to him.

As soon as I left the airport, I put the bag of Moutai at my feet and was about to hail a taxi when I turned around and the Moutai was gone.

After learning the whole story, Su Xiaoqiang immediately switched to Portuguese and explained the cause and effect of the matter to the police.

Although the sheriff couldn't help but glance at Su Xiaoqiang a few more times, after hearing Su Xiaoqiang's explanation, the police officer still maintained a nonchalant attitude.

"Does this gentleman have to come back to the police station with you?" Bettina stepped forward and asked softly.

"certainly……"

The sheriff slowly raised his head, then paused. After recognizing the person in front of him, he immediately straightened up, adjusted his hat brim, and said in a trembling voice, "Miss Bettina."

The sheriff glanced cautiously at Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang, then said with a forced smile, "These two are yours..."

“She is my sister, and this young gentleman is my sister’s friend.”

Lu Mingfei was somewhat surprised to see the police officers, who had been so arrogant before, instantly become servile upon seeing the Portuguese girl next to Xiao Tiannv. He knew Xiao Tiannv's mother's family was wealthy, but he hadn't expected them to be so powerful, to the point that even the police had to be so humble.

Upon hearing Bettina's words, the sheriff immediately swallowed nervously, turned to Su Xiaoqiang, and forced a smile: "So you're Miss Valentine. I'm so sorry for neglecting you earlier..."

Then he immediately turned to Lu Mingfei, rubbing his hands together and switching to English, saying, "Since you are a guest of the Valentine family, you are now free to leave. I will take full responsibility for this matter and personally investigate the truth for you."

The red-bearded man next to him was clearly not expected that his favorable situation would be reversed in an instant. He hurriedly said indignantly, "No way, why should we let him go?"

The policeman took out handcuffs and cuffed the man's hands behind his back. "Nonsense, how could a guest of the Valentine family do something like that?"

“They’ll handle this. Let’s go first, we can talk as we walk.” Bettina turned slightly, looked at Lu Mingfei, and said calmly, “I don’t think my Chinese has an accent, right? You can understand me?”

“I understand, I understand.” Lu Mingfei nodded.

With the excitement fading, the crowd naturally dispersed. Su Xiaoqiang helped Lu Mingfei lift his suitcase and somewhat embarrassedly placed it in his hands, which Lu Mingfei accepted. The suitcase wheels spun "clattering" on the stone-paved ground.

"Now you can tell me why you came to Portugal, right?" Su Xiaoqiang asked, pursing her lips.

Why? Of course it's for you. I was worried something might happen to you in Portugal, so I came along... That's what Lu Mingfei was thinking, but he couldn't say it out loud.

"Would you believe me if I said I came here as a tourist?" Lu Mingfei said. Even he himself felt that this excuse was really unconvincing.

"Come for tourism in November? I believe you, okay?" Su Xiaoqiang pouted and frowned.

In fact, Su Xiaoqiang had a few bold guesses about why Lu Mingfei would suddenly appear in Portugal... After all, Lu Mingfei didn't have much contact with Portugal, so he couldn't possibly be here to visit relatives like she was, could he?

After eliminating all other options, there are only a few possible reasons.

But... she couldn't quite believe it, or rather, she couldn't believe it at all.

Besides, even if her confession had moved Lu Mingfei, Lu Mingfei would have been applying for a passport the next day, and it would have taken at least a week to get it. How could he possibly have arrived in Portugal today?

After a period of internal self-doubt, Su Xiaoqiang realized that she had probably been deluding herself.

Lu Mingfei's passport was definitely obtained in advance. So, he must be here for some other reason, right?

What's more, it's better not to think about it. But as soon as she thinks about what she said to Lu Mingfei before, Su Xiaoqiang is so ashamed that she wants to run away from Lu Mingfei.

Why did I even say something that made him take it seriously?!

Su Xiaoqiang really wanted to cover her face.

The conversation between the two came to an abrupt end. Bettina, who was walking next to Su Xiaoqiang, looked at her cousin and her cousin's unexpected friend with great interest, and a look of understanding appeared on her face.

“Rocela, you haven’t introduced your friend to me yet?” Bettina said with a smile.

"Ah... I'm sorry, I forgot," Su Xiaoqiang said hastily.

“Rosella?” Lu Mingfei scratched his ear.

"That's my Portuguese name, Roseira."

Upon hearing what Xiaotiannu said, Lu Mingfei immediately remembered that her QQ name was Roseira Su.

"This is my...classmate, Lu Mingfei."

After introducing Bettina, Su Xiaoqiang turned to Lu Mingfei, avoiding his gaze, and introduced her to him: "This is my cousin Bettina, my aunt's daughter."

“Lu Mingfei? It’s a pleasure to meet you.” Bettina smiled and extended her hand to Lu Mingfei.

"It's an honor to meet Miss Bettina." In front of the little fairy's family, Lu Mingfei reflexively revealed his old British rogue demeanor and shook Bettina's hand.

Lu Mingfei sized up Bettina, unsure of her age. The girl possessed the maturity of a successful woman in her twenties or thirties, yet her eyes still held the naiveté of a teenage girl. Judging from her appearance alone, she could be anywhere from sixteen to twenty.

Lu Mingfei was still trying to guess Bettina's age when he heard her continue, "By the way, Lu, which hotel are you staying at? We'll take you there."

Lu Mingfei scratched his eyebrows. "I only arrived in Gulegan this afternoon and haven't had time to find a hotel yet."

"Didn't you make a reservation?"

"No."

Su Xiaoqiang froze, suddenly feeling a sense of foreboding.

Sure enough, Bettina glanced at Su Xiaoqiang and then said:

"Since you haven't booked a hotel yet, if you don't mind, why don't you stay with us? We have quite a few rooms available, and we can arrange a room for you that's closer to the Rosella. Since you're planning to travel, we can also show you around the area. It must be quite inconvenient for you to stay alone without speaking Portuguese, right?"

Bettina blinked, a slight smile playing on her lips, and asked Lu Mingfei, "How is it?"

……

Chapter 207 Da Su Manor

"Wait a minute, no, no!"

Before Lu Mingfei could speak, Su Xiaoqiang interrupted, "Why did this turn of events happen so suddenly? Bettina, how did you manage to steer the conversation to inviting someone to stay at our house?"

Bettina blinked. "I saw that Lu was all alone in Portugal, unfamiliar with the place and unable to speak the language. Since we had a place to stay, we invited her."

"But……"

Su Xiaoqiang's eyebrows flushed red as she tried to come up with an excuse to persuade her cousin to give up the idea of ​​inviting Lu Mingfei. However, Bettina shut her down with a single sentence.

"Rosella, do you and Lu not get along?"

These words really left Su Xiaoqiang speechless. To say that their relationship was bad would obviously go against her conscience, but to say that their relationship was good, Su Xiaoqiang was not sure what kind of relationship she had with Lu Mingfei.

Even Su Xiaoqiang herself wasn't sure whether she wanted Lu Mingfei to move into their house or not.

Seeing that Su Xiaoqiang was stammering and unable to speak, Bettina turned to Lu Mingfei and asked:

"And your answer, Lu?"

Lu Mingfei came to Portugal originally because he was worried about Xiao Tiannv's safety. Now that Xiao Tiannv's cousin has extended an invitation to him, the closer he stays to Xiao Tiannv, the better he can protect her.

Lu Mingfei readily agreed, saying, "Then I will respectfully accept your offer."

……

Bettina said this was the central area of ​​Guglielmo, and their villa was on a hillside on the outskirts of Guglielmo, quite a distance away. However, the city wasn't very big, and Lu Mingfei wasn't in a hurry, so he leisurely followed the two on foot back.

Along the way, Bettina also introduced him to a lot of local culture and scenery in Gulegon.

However, Lu Mingfei was stunned when he arrived at the "villa" that Bettina's family had described.

Before Lu Mingfei lay a vast estate. The vineyards just outside the estate alone covered an unknown number of acres.

The entire estate is surrounded by European-style walls and wooded areas. Stepping through the tall metal gate, the first thing you see is a rather long, straight road, with carefully maintained shrubs and lawns dividing it into two symmetrical halves.
