Hepburn had just returned to the reception scene.
I saw Pope Eugene IV walking towards her with two bodyguards.
She hurriedly saluted: “I have seen His Excellency Pope.”
Eugene IV nodded slightly and asked, intentionally or unintentionally, “Have you seen Mr. Chen?”
Hepburn was stunned when he heard the words, a hint of shame flashed in the depths of his eyes, but his tone was calm: “I saw him smoking in the corridor outside, and I chatted with him briefly and said goodbye.”
Eugene IV nodded: “Well, do your own thing.”
Hepburn bowed slightly and was about to leave.
However, Eugene IV suddenly stopped her again: “Wait a minute.”
Hepburn looked at Eugene IV suspiciously.
Eugene IV asked seemingly casually: “You have been very close to Mr. Chen recently.”
Hepburn was a little panicked when he heard the words, and thought that Eugene IV knew about her love for Chen Ning and wanted to warn her to keep a distance from Chen Ning.
She just wanted to explain.
But Eugene IV has continued: “Have you noticed anything wrong with him, uh, or abnormal behavior?”
Hepburn was stunned again, and subconsciously replied: “No!”
“Mr. Chen is the same as before, personable and unhurried, which is admirable!”
“Pope, what’s wrong?”
When Eugene IV heard that Chen Ning did not have any abnormal behavior, he was slightly disappointed and waved his hand: “Nothing, just ask casually, it’s nothing, you can do it first.”
Although Hepburn had thousands of questions in her heart, she didn’t dare to ask the Pope, and said respectfully, “Yes!”
Eugene IV also walked out of the reception scene with two of his subordinates and walked towards the corridor outside.
Sure enough, I saw Chen Ning sitting on a bench smoking a cigarette.
The light was projected obliquely on Chen Ning, making Chen Ning’s handsome face mixed with light and shadow, looking both mysterious and temperamental.
“Mr. Chen, why are you smoking here if you don’t drink and chat with the top Allies?”
Chen Ning raised his head, saw Eugene IV, and smiled slightly: “What is drinking and chatting, the Pope is actually very clear, they are just fighting for interests, I will not be involved.”
Eugene IV said with a smile: “This is what you Huaxia said that the husband and wife do not fight, so the world can’t fight with him?”
Chen Ning laughed and said: “China is not the United States, and I am not Woods. I have no ambition to compete in the world. My wish is to protect the country and make the world peaceful.”
Eugene IV also smiled and said: “Then we both have the same philosophy, and the world is peaceful.”
“Tomorrow the Allies will be disbanded.”
“I wonder if Mr. Chen would like to have a drink with a like-minded person like me?”
Chen Ning glanced at Eugene IV and said calmly, “Okay!”
The two walked into the hall together with their own men.
In the hall, ordinary Allied soldiers were standing together drinking and celebrating in twos and threes.
Eugene IV and Chen Ning found an inconspicuous place to sit down.
A maid came over with a tray containing champagne, red wine and other drinks. She politely asked, “Respected commander-in-chief, revered pope, what would you like to drink?”
“Champagne or red wine?”
Chen Ning has not spoken yet, Eugene IV has already made up his mind for Chen Ning: “Bring us some red wine.”
The maid Yanran said: “Yes!”
Saying that, she gracefully placed the two glasses of red wine on the tray in front of Chen Ning and Eugene IV.
Then he said something, please tell me at any time, then got up and walked away.
Eugene IV held up the red wine glass with a smile and invited Chen Ning to drink, while asking one of the bodyguards around him to go to the food table to get some food.
He shouted loudly, intentionally or unintentionally, “For the victory of the Allies!”
“To celebrate the defeat of that damned blood clan, Chen Ning, let’s toast.”
As he spoke, he carefully observed Chen Ning’s expression, as if he wanted to capture something?
It’s a pity that Chen Ning seemed so calm and composed, holding up the red wine glass with a smile to toast to him.
Eugene IV drank the wine in one gulp.
Chen Ning also raised his glass, but after only taking a sip of red wine, he frowned and spit the wine back into the glass.
Eugene IV stared at Chen Ning: “What’s wrong?”
Chen Ning frowned and said, “There seems to be something wrong with this drink. I seem to feel strange, with a stale taste.”
Eugene IV’s eyes were a little empty when he heard the words, and he said, “Could it be that the wine has gone bad?”
Saying that, he immediately stopped the maid who passed by and asked the maid to bring the drink again.
In fact, the drink is indeed a problem.
And it was Eugene IV’s hands and feet that made people move in advance. He had begun to suspect Chen Ning, so he instructed the maid in advance to add a few drops of blood to one of the glasses of red wine.
The blood and the red wine are perfectly fused together, and it is difficult to distinguish it with the naked eye.
Moreover, the aroma of red wine can also cover up the taste of blood very well, but if Chen Ning is a blood clan, he must be subconsciously fond of this glass of red wine.
Because in the blood of the blood clan, there is a strong desire for the blood clan, and the blood can make their bodies feel comfortable and happy.
This glass of wine was also the secret test of Chen Ning by Eugene IV.
If Chen Ning enjoys this glass of red wine, then Chen Ning really has a problem.
But now, Chen Ning frowned and spit out his first sip of red wine, and frowned and bluntly said that this glass of wine had a strange taste.
Obviously not enjoying it.
Could it be that he was thinking too much, and Chen Ning has no problem?
Eugene IV absentmindedly raised his glass again and toasted with Chen Ning.
At this time, his bodyguard had already brought the food.
The food table has a variety of foie gras caviar, as well as a variety of desserts and other delicacies.
But Eugene IV’s subordinates didn’t have any, but took two freshly prepared steaks.
This steak is only medium rare!
Eugene IV’s eyes lit up when he saw the steak taken by his subordinates, which was also one of his tests for Chen Ning.
He picked up the knife and fork with a smile, and at the same time invited Chen Ning to eat: “Today, the Allied Army celebrations have been busy for a day, and there is not much to eat for dinner. It is estimated that Mr. Chen is as hungry as I am. Come to eat something to fill your stomach first, and then wait. We don’t get drunk.”
Done!
He was the first to raise the knife and fork and cut the steak in front of him.
The moment the knife cut through the three-ripe steak, the blood in it immediately seeped out.
Instantly full of fragrance.
Eugene IV smiled at Chen Ning, then put a piece of beef into his mouth with a fork, and ate it happily in front of Chen Ning.
Then, he gestured towards Chen Ning with a smile: You can eat too!
Three mature steaks, cut with blood.
For Westerners, this kind of food is very normal, but according to Eugene IV’s investigation, Chen Ning had never eaten this kind of uncooked bloody steak in public before.
If Chen Ning is willing to eat now, and still eats very similar, then it is possible that Chen Ning is already interested in blood.
However, he was disappointed again.
Chen Ning glanced at the steak he was eating, frowned slightly, and said with a smile, “I still can’t get used to your western diet, this steak doesn’t suit my taste.”
After finishing speaking, Chen Ning instructed Dian Chu beside him: “Go over there and get some snacks.”
Dian Chu said: “Yes!”
Eugene IV was once again stunned. His two trials were not able to detect anything.
In the end, was Chen Ning very vigilant and discovered his temptation?
Or is it because he was overthinking it, Chen Ning did not become a blood clan at all, and it was all his misjudgment before?
For a time, Eugene IV himself was not sure.
follow closely.
Chen Ning drank and chatted with Eugene IV. Eugene IV made various side-by-side attacks and detours, but unfortunately they were not able to find any flaws.
at this time!
The debate among the gods of war, such as Woods, also came to an end.
They have already divided the cake, and they are happy.
The Allies celebrated the reception, which ended in a carnival.
In the middle of the night, Chen Ning was drunk by Dian Chu and Eight Tiger Guards and other men, protecting him from the reception.
Get into a car and leave slowly.
After Chen Ning got into the car, his drunken appearance disappeared. He sat up straight, his eyes became clear, and he looked thoughtfully at the rich night outside the car window.
Dian Chu said, “Mr. Chen, are you okay?”
Chen Ning said lightly: “I’m fine, but it seems that the Pope has already suspected me. It’s not suitable to stay here for a long time. I’m going to return to China tomorrow.”
Dian Chu said: “Yes!”
