When Luo Ziling and Lin Lan’s flight arrived in Berlin, it was 5 PM local time.
At this time, Yanjing was already in the dead of night.
The time difference between the two cities is seven hours apart. At 5 PM Berlin time, it was already midnight in Yanjing. Considering the time difference, Luo Ziling did not call or message Ling Ruonan when the plane landed. He was afraid of waking her up because she was already asleep.
Having taken a nap during the flight, Luo Ziling was still feeling quite energized.
Lin Lan was also in good spirits.
As they disembarked, she held onto Luo Ziling’s arm closely, looking quite intimate.
This made Wuyue, who was following behind them, feel a pang of jealousy. She had once played the role of a couple with Luo Ziling, and seeing him acting like a couple with another woman so intimately in front of her was naturally uncomfortable.
Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun, who had arrived here earlier, came to the airport to pick them up.
Upon meeting, Wang Zhenjun told Luo Ziling and Lin Lan that everything had been arranged properly, and there had been no trouble encountered.
Lin Lan didn’t express much, and let Yang Xiaodong and Wang Zhenjun take them to the hotel.
After that, Lin Lan didn’t concern herself with any other matters, as Wuyue was responsible for the arrangements here.
Upon arriving at the hotel, Lin Lan contacted her own team.
The person responding to Lin Lan and her group, Shanque, arrived at the hotel where they were staying after dinner.
Shanque looked completely different, transformed into a student touring Europe, and appeared even more adorable than her true self.
Luo Ziling had a good impression of this lively and adorable female special forces soldier, and he even learned some exquisite makeup techniques from her.
Upon learning that Shanque would frequently accompany them in their actions, Luo Ziling was quite pleased.
The impact of the time difference was still quite significant; after having dinner, Luo Ziling started feeling drowsy.
Sleeping a few hours on the plane didn’t completely reset his biological clock.
Lin Lan, on the other hand, had no such symptoms. After dinner, which was around 2 AM Yanjing time, she was still in great spirits.
While Lin Lan and Luo Ziling were discussing the upcoming arrangements with great enthusiasm, Wuyue came knocking on the door.
Wuyue reported to Luo Ziling about the preparation status of her people and also planned to discuss further arrangements with Lin Lan.
After all, she couldn’t fully understand the arrangements of the Dragon Rise members here.
However, once in Europe, she needed to learn some details about the Dragon Rise members to cooperate better.
Including herself, Wuyue had a total of seven people in Europe.
Adding herself, there were eight in total.
Originally, Ling Ruonan wanted Wuyue to bring a dozen people, but Wuyue suggested not bringing so many.
Too many people would be too conspicuous and could backfire.
The Dragon Rise team members participating in this mission, according to Wuyue’s estimate, wouldn’t exceed ten people.
If the private soldiers belonging to Luo Ziling outnumber the Dragon Rise members, it’s uncertain how the Dragon Rise people would feel about it.
There were some things Lin Lan didn’t mention to Luo Ziling but discussed with Wuyue.
When Wuyue and Lin Lan were exchanging information, Luo Ziling didn’t disturb them and went to his room to rest.
He posted a message on his WeChat moments, sharing a photo taken when the plane landed without capturing any landmarks, accompanied by the message: "The air is nice."
He believed that those who knew he was coming to Europe would understand from his moments that he had arrived safely.
The two women’s private discussion lasted over half an hour.
Once they finished, they entered the room and informed Luo Ziling about the arrangements.
Wuyue and Lin Lan told Luo Ziling that they would stay in Berlin for one day and two nights, leaving the morning after tomorrow for Paris.
There was nothing special planned for the next day; in Berlin, they had no operational tasks and were merely tourists.
"Can we go out and have fun tomorrow?" Luo Ziling was surprised and asked Lin Lan, "Is this what you mean?"
"That’s exactly what it means!" Lin Lan nodded seriously, "Shanque will handle the communications, and for your side, Wuyue will take care of everything, so there’s nothing to worry about."
"What fun places are there in Berlin?" Seeing Lin Lan say so, Luo Ziling also became interested in sightseeing, "I’ve heard of the Berlin Wall and Brandenburg Gate, but not much else."
"Berlin doesn’t have many tourist attractions, just a few famous places like the Brandenburg Gate, government district, and Berlin Wall Memorial." Lin Lan, who had been to Berlin several times before, although she hadn’t specifically toured these spots, was quite knowledgeable about Berlin due to her identity and mission.
"Seems like I don’t need to do any research; you know Berlin so well that you can just show me around!" Luo Ziling pinched Lin Lan’s cheek with a smile and said, "Let’s get some sleep early, and rise early tomorrow to enjoy thoroughly. Even if some unexpected things happen, it won’t spoil the fun too much."
Lin Lan nodded and then softly said, "I’ll take a shower first."
Without waiting for Luo Ziling’s response, she grabbed her change of clothes and headed into the bathroom.
Their room wasn’t a suite with multiple rooms, just a fairly standard double room.
The room had two beds, one large and one small, which meant they would definitely be sharing the same room tonight.
What might happen next, Luo Ziling could probably guess.
Lin Lan wouldn’t let him off the hook.
If there were no important plans tonight or tomorrow night, this woman would surely make the most of the calm before the mission to drain him.
Luo Ziling was quite smart; he understood women well enough.
Lin Lan’s behavior was even wilder than he imagined.
After a good night’s sleep, Luo Ziling awoke the next day well-rested, unaffected by jet lag. The others were in a similar condition.
After breakfast, Luo Ziling and Lin Lan headed to the Brandenburg Gate to sightsee as tourists.
They came to Europe as free-spirited travelers.
Not visiting these famous sites after arriving in Berlin would easily arouse suspicion.
Wuyue also joined them.
Because they arrived on the same flight, knowing each other was normal.
Staying at the same hotel and sightseeing together was logical.
Although the trio’s combination was somewhat awkward, they still enjoyed themselves.
The day went by without any unusual occurrences; everything was peaceful.
The three toured places like Brandenburg Gate Square, Marx-Engels Forum, and Government Gate while also sampling some Berlin cuisine and taking numerous photos.
Unfortunately, the people in their photos didn’t show their real faces, which left the trio somewhat regretful.
After a peaceful day, they left Berlin early the next morning, as planned, for Paris.
What Luo Ziling, Wuyue, and Lin Lan didn’t anticipate was how tense everything became upon their arrival in Paris.
