Chapter 283 - 282 Wasteful and Slow
Yang Yi, Xiao Ran, Zhang Yong, Brian, and Paul, all five of them headed to Mannheim, Germany, to locate the hacker they needed.
Why dispatch five men for the task? Because this wasn’t merely a hiring situation—it was more likely to be a kidnapping.
Taking a plane was the quickest option, so Yang Yi and the others decided to fly to Mannheim. Their flight was scheduled to depart at 10:20 AM, and they arrived at the airport by 8:30 AM.
They had all been feeling tired lately, both mentally and physically, so taking public transport was unanimously agreed upon. However, by 9:30 AM, Yang Yi began to feel that deciding to take public transport in Paris might have been a mistake.
"What’s wrong with people?"
Brian was the first to notice something amiss, as he saw passengers around him becoming increasingly irritable, some loudly complaining, others appearing utterly despondent, but most were simply resigned to their fate.
When the airport announcement started, Brian stood up, a look of shock on his face, "A strike? You’ve got to be kidding me. I got up at 7 AM, rode the subway for forty minutes, waited at the airport for an hour, and now they’re telling me all flights are grounded due to a strike? Fuck!"
Turning to Paul, Brian continued with a lack of confidence, "Is it because I’ve been in jail too long? Have I really fallen out of sync with the world, or have the French gone fucking nuts?"
With an innocent expression, Paul replied, "I haven’t really been keeping up with the news from France lately."
