Because it was a first-class cabin, they arranged all the seats in a row, so there was an aisle between Yu Wuyuan and Jian Ai.

Hearing this, Yu Wuyuan looked at Jian Ai and said calmly, “It’s fine. Sect Master, don’t worry.”

Yu Wuyuan had a calm and stable temperament. With him by her side, everyone would feel inexplicably at ease. Therefore, although this operation was dangerous, Jian Ai did not feel nervous when she thought of Yu Wuyuan accompanying her.

Hearing Yu Wuyuan’s words, Jian Ai pursed her lips and nodded.

The flight attendants recognized Yun Buyao in the front seat again. Yun Buyao forced a smile and took a photo with the flight attendants. Jian Ai was already used to it when she was in the Maldives. This was normal when going out with a big star. Jian Ai couldn’t help but lower the seat and lie down, pretending not to know her.

At half-past six the next morning, after fourteen hours of flight time, the plane landed safely at Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport.

Italy is a major European country that had advanced technology and disordered public order. Its GDP is one of the top in the world, but has been criticized by the world because of the history of evil forces.

People, especially Asians with black hair and yellow skin, even needed courage to travel here.

This was the first time Jian Ai had come to the capital of this country, which was once famous all over the world because of the presence of the Mafia. The buildings in Rome city were filled with art, and even the airport buildings were unique.

After getting off the plane, Rome was even colder than Baiyun City in this season. The three of them received their luggage from the VIP passage. There was a pick-up service arranged by the hotel outside the airport.

“Have you been here before?”

After getting into the car, Jian Ai couldn’t help but ask Yu Wuyuan and Yun Buyao.

The two of them nodded. Yun Buyao said, “I came to take part in a fashion event this spring.”

Jian Ai couldn’t help but say, “I heard that the security here isn’t good, especially for Asian tourists. We can often see news about violence on television, and it seems that many organizations had their headquarters here?”

Yun Buyao chuckled and explained, “Most of the people targeting tourists are thieves. Occasionally, there will be robberies. However, these things happen in many countries in Europe. As for the organizations you mentioned, they won’t threaten the tourists’ safety at all. After all, these organizations ‘do big things’!”

Yu Wuyuan also said, “It’s true that the security in Europe is not too good. Negative news about Italy gets magnified because international terrorist organizations like the Mafia rose to power from here.”

Jian Ai nodded in understanding. Just as Yun Buyao had said, thieves and robbers were common in various countries in Europe. There were indeed many terrifying organizations stationed in Italy, but these organizations were not in the mood to do anything terrifying to tourists.

Chi Yang booked the best hotel in Rome. The vintage-looking hotel building was luxurious. The waiter took the initiative to help the guests open the car door and take their luggage.

The hotel lobby was very spacious. It was decorated in a dazzling gold color, and a huge crystal chandelier shone.

The three of them did not stay separately. Chi Yang booked a luxurious suite.

The waiter brought them to the elevator and entered the room to settle their luggage. Yun Buyao skillfully took out a piece of money from her wallet and handed it to the waiter as a tip.

The waiter received it happily and bowed gratefully to them before leaving the room.

The suite was two floors high, like a small villa in a hotel. The guest rooms were on the second floor. Yun Buyao couldn’t wait to take off her high heels and called out to the two of them, “I’ll remove my makeup first!”

Yu Wuyuan carried their luggage up. Jian Ai said, “Let’s go to the restaurant to eat something later.”

Because they had slept for a night on the plane, they were not tired. Yu Wuyuan nodded. “Alright.”

The restaurant’s corridor was on the top floor. Jian Ai and the rest changed into comfortable clothes before leaving the room.

She initially thought that breakfast in Italy would be milk, coffee, toast, bacon, fried eggs, and so on. She did not expect that there would be Chinese breakfast here to serve customers.

There were noodles, dumplings, and so on. The waiter also introduced that the chef of Chinese food was a native of Country Z, so the food he prepared has an authentic taste.

“It seems that we don’t have to worry about food during this period,” Jian Ai said half-jokingly.

The three of them ordered a lot of things. There was both Chinese and Western food. Jian Ai was indeed a little hungry. She couldn’t wait to pick up a crab soup dumpling and stuff it into her mouth. When she took a bite, the hot soup instantly scalded Jian Ai’s tongue, but the fragrance of the crab was in her mouth.

Jian Ai couldn’t help but narrow her eyes. She nodded and gave him a thumbs up. “Delicious!”

Seeing this, Yu Wuyuan and Yun Buyao also started to eat.

It was already past eight in the morning, and more guests were coming to the restaurant for breakfast. Fortunately, Jian Ai and the rest especially chose a seat near the corner so that no one could hear them.

They ate in silence to suppress their hunger before chatting.

“Where is the other party’s headquarters?” Jian Ai took a sip of milk and asked Yun Buyao.

When Yun Buyao heard this, she slowly answered, “It’s on a hidden mountain outside the suburbs. There’s only one way up, and the security is abnormally tight. Surveillance cameras can be seen everywhere, and there are people patrolling twenty-four hours a day.”

For an organization of this nature, the location of the headquarters had something in common. It was either remote or hidden. Most importantly, it was safe.

Yun Buyao’s expression was slightly solemn. “It’s not easy to enter because the villa the other party’s leader lives in is the safest place in the entire headquarters. Moreover, he rarely goes out.”

This was all the information Yun Buyao had obtained from Gale through her abilities.

Jian Ai nodded in understanding. She was already mentally prepared for these difficulties. If they could casually enter the enemy’s headquarters, this mercenary group would have long been destroyed. There would not be their turn!

Moreover, Jian Ai was not here to destroy their nest. She was here to find the mastermind who wanted to assassinate Bai Zhou.

“Do you have any information on the other party’s leader?” Yu Wuyuan asked.

Yun Buyao nodded. “The leader’s name is Hans. He’s in his fifties this year. He’s almost two meters tall and is burly. The most obvious characteristic is that he has a long beard that reaches his chest. It’s golden.”

“This Hans is not a simple person. I can’t see any more useful information about this person from Gale’s memories, but according to Gale, Hans did not establish the mercenary group alone. He snatched it from his former leader!”
