"Can you allow me to buy you a drink?" Xiang Nan said to the Demitios woman with a smile.
"Okay." The beauty nodded, "My husband went to Miami, and before he comes back, I think I can indulge."
Xiang Nan smiled and nodded, "That''s right."
Subsequently, he and the beauty returned to Demitios'' beach house.
For the next week, the two of them were drunk and dreaming every day, and rarely got out of bed.
Although the distance between the two people is negative, in fact, both of them know that they are just strangers to each other.
They didn''t even know each other''s names, and they had a tacit understanding not to ask, because they both knew that they were together out of lust, not love.
So they just vent when they are together and forget about everything else.
…
A week later, Xiang Nan received a call from Mrs. M. They found the whereabouts of Le Chiffre.
Xiang Nan then said goodbye to the woman and rushed back to the UK to report to Mrs. M.
“The person who shorted Boeing is indeed Le Chiffre. He lost more than 110 million US dollars for this.” Mrs. M said to Xiang Nan.
"It''s really him!" Xiang Nan said, "But he shouldn''t have that much money to lose."
"Yes," Mrs. M nodded, "so he set up a high-stakes gambling game at the Royal Casino in Montenegro. Ten gamblers were invited to participate. Each person bets at least 10 million U.S. dollars, and can also redeem an additional 5 million U.S. dollars in chips. .The winner takes it all, maybe $150 million.”
"It seems that this is his last chance to make a comeback. If he loses this time, I''m afraid he will never make a comeback." Xiang Nan said.
"That''s right." Mrs. M nodded, "That''s why I want to send you to participate in this gambling game to disrupt Huangle Schiff''s plan. They all say that you are the best card player in the game.
When he was desperate, he had no choice but to rely on us. We gave him shelter and he gave us intelligence. "
“Don’t worry, madam, I will definitely catch him.” Xiang Nan promised.
…
Subsequently, Xiang Nan took a train to Montenegro.
? Montenegro is located in the Balkan Peninsula, bordering Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia, and Albania.
?In June 2006, independence was declared just last month, so the domestic political situation was relatively chaotic, which could provide some shelter for dangerous elements like Le Chiffre.
Xiang Nan came to the dining car junction as agreed.
“Sir, please take a look at the menu.” The waiter handed over the menu.
"Thank you." Xiang Nan took the menu and was about to order.
?At this moment, a lady came to Xiang Nan, sat down and said confidently, "I am the money!"
Xiang Nan took a look at her. She had bright features, a good figure, and elegant temperament, but her dress was a bit androgynous. She was James Bond''s unforgettable first love girlfriend - Vesper Linda.
“Excellent value for money.” Xiang Nan said with a smile.
“The Treasury has agreed to sponsor you to participate in the gambling game.” Vesper Linda explained, and then handed over his business card.
"Vespa? What a good name." Xiang Nan glanced at it and said with a smile.
?? Vespa comes from Latin and means "evening star" or "twilight".
"Thank you." Vespa nodded, "Your boss must have very good connections. I have never seen the ministry approve funds so readily."
“I didn’t expect that a beauty like you would send money.” Xiang Nan also smiled.
"The ministry is worried that you will lose our money, so it sent me to supervise you anytime and anywhere." Vesper explained, "Mr. Bond, you should know that once you lose, it means that the British government is funding terrorists. "
"I know, but I won''t lose." Xiang Nan waved his hands. “You are so arrogant,” Vespa said sarcastically.
"This is not arrogance, this is confidence." Xiang Nan smiled.
??There is no one in the world who can beat him, the God of Gamblers, but it definitely won’t be Le Chiffre.
Upon seeing this, Vespa wanted to sneer a few more words, but Xiang Nan didn''t want to argue with her anymore, "Let''s order food first."
…
Red wine and delicacies were served quickly.
“I’ll come~” Xiang Nan opened the red wine and poured it for Vespa.
?Taking this opportunity, he took out a few drops of Lethe water from the inventory and dropped it into Vespa''s wine.
In the movie, Vespa betrays Bond and the country in order to save her boyfriend.
In the end, she refused Bond''s rescue and chose to commit suicide because of her guilt, leaving Bond with eternal pain in his heart.
But in fact, Vespa’s boyfriend Yusef Kabila’s true identity is a member of the Quantum Organization. His mission is to seduce female agents from intelligence agencies in various countries to collect intelligence.
?Therefore, it is really not worth it for Vesper to betray the country and sell out Bond for him.
So, Xiang Nan wanted to help her forget Yusef. After drinking the water of Wangchuan, she can forget the love in her heart.
“Come on, cheers~” Xiang Nan raised his glass.
“Cheers~” Vespa also raised his glass, and then took a sip.
It was fine at first, and she continued to drink and eat. But when she returned to the box and went to bed, she felt dizzy and kept dreaming.
When Vespa woke up, she found that she was covered in sweat and the pillow and quilt were almost soaked, which made her a little surprised.
But fortunately, she was in good health, and the doors and windows were intact. It didn''t look like she had been violated, which made her feel a little relieved. However, she still felt a little dizzy, as if she couldn''t remember something, but she didn''t know what it was.
? Vespa thought for a long time but had no idea, so he had no choice but to give it up and then went to the dining car to meet Xiang Nan.
…
“Yosef~” Xiang Nan shouted deliberately when he saw Vespa.
“What?” Vespa was stunned for a moment, wondering what Xiang Nan meant.
“Sorry.” Xiang Nan smiled, sure that Vespa had forgotten about her boyfriend.
Because of his boyfriend’s name, he is called Yousef Kabila. Of course, this is most likely a fake name.
"My name is Vespa. You should practice your memory. I am getting more and more worried about the money in our ministry." Vespa frowned.
"No, on the contrary, you will be grateful to me." Xiang Nan smiled.
“I’m very doubtful.” Vespa said coldly, still resisting Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan didn''t care. After the train arrived at the station, he and Vespa headed to the Huamei Hotel.
?That was where Le Chiffre held his gambling game.
“Sir~” The bellman handed over a paper bag.
Xiang Nan opened it and saw two passports, as well as his and Vespa''s identities.
??It turns out that this time Xiang Nan participated in the gambling game and borrowed someone else''s identity. His name was Darlington Beach, and he was a professional gambler. Vespa''s identity is his girlfriend who has been in love for many years.
