Qin Zhen felt like he was being manipulated, but since a super-rich billionaire expressed his willingness to invest, Qin Zhen couldn't easily refuse.

Qin Zhen could only say that he didn't have the authority to decide and that he needed to report it and wait for a response from higher-ups.

Flas was quite understanding and with a smile said to report to his superiors as soon as possible, but insisted on getting a clear answer before tonight. He couldn't stay here for long.

Qin Zhen had no choice but to quickly excuse himself and leave with Chen Feng. After returning to his room, he immediately made an international call to report the situation to his superiors.

This kind of situation was quite special; truly speaking, he could ignore it, as even though he was a public official, he was not responsible for attracting investment.

But Flas's identity was special, as he was an internationally known billionaire. If he truly wanted to invest in their Xiu Zhou, it would doubtlessly bring significant celebrity effect to both Xiu Zhou and the Rabbit Country.

Therefore, with public interest in mind, he at least had to report it to his superiors.

Chen Feng wasn't affected much by this from beginning to end; what mattered was Qin Zhen's attitude. Chen Feng was just incidental.

Qin Zhen reported to his superiors and now waited for their decision.

However, it was uncertain when the superiors would respond. If it took two or three days, Qin Zhen, the messenger, might have to stay here for a while.

Consequently, Chen Feng naturally couldn't go back alone since Qin Zhen came this time partly because of him and even at some risk to his life.

Fortunately, the senior leadership didn't keep them waiting long. Just over two hours later, they sent a clear reply to Qin Zhen, granting Flas's request.

In Chen Feng's view, Flas's promise of at least 200,000 pounds in investment was not a big deal, amounting to only 17 or 18 million in their domestic currency.

Of course, domestically, they might be more focused on Flas's identity and reputation than the specific investment amount.

Qin Zhen strictly followed orders and quickly contacted Flas to explain the situation.

Flas wasted no time booking flights for his daughter and the accompanying staff, practically buying all the remaining seats on the next flight due to time constraints.

Chen Feng and Qin Zhen's flight was scheduled for 9:30 PM local time, conveniently the same flight as Vivian's.

Anna agreed with Vivian to go to the airport together by then.

To be honest, Chen Feng didn't really want to travel with Vivian, because she was attacked twice yesterday, and who knew if it would happen again today? In fact, he was reluctant to be on the same flight with her.

If danger were to arise on the plane, it would indeed be a life-and-death situation.

However, Flas had already issued an invitation for them to ride with his motorcade to the airport, which Qin Zhen couldn't refuse, and neither could Chen Feng.

Of course, the main reason was that Chen Feng didn't feel any danger, otherwise he would never agree to go to the airport with Vivian.

Around 5 PM, Flas invited them to dinner, and the two didn't decline, as there was no reason not to take a free meal.

The dinner was held at the hotel's top-floor private restaurant as before, with dishes even more sumptuous than those Vivian treated them to the previous day.

During dinner, Flas didn't talk much but shared a few interesting business stories and asked some questions about their Rabbit Country.

Overall, they had an enjoyable meal.

After dinner, it was past six, and they started to prepare their luggage, then went downstairs to meet up.

Around 7:30 PM, they finally met up with Vivian and her group in the lobby downstairs.

Flas didn't see his daughter to the airport but said goodbye to her at the hotel entrance.

At this time, there were quite a few armed police on duty at the hotel entrance, along with several police cars parked, and Flas was accompanied by no less than ten bodyguards.

Under such security measures, those paid troublemakers dared not act recklessly, as it would be like walking into certain death.

Vivian was accompanied by four bodyguards, two of whom were female.

Anna, along with her and two bodyguards, sat in a bulletproof Mercedes, while Chen Feng and Qin Zhen took an Audi.

In addition, there were police cars escorting them in the front and back.

If Vivian were to be attacked in such a situation, it could only mean the attackers were utterly insane.

The four-car convoy set off towards the airport, and although it caused some anxiety, they eventually arrived safely at the airport.

Everyone, who had been somewhat tense throughout the journey, breathed a sigh of relief.

At the airport, Chen Feng and Qin Zhen took the opportunity before boarding to buy a lot from the duty-free shops, planning to take them back home as gifts.

Chen Feng mainly bought cosmetics and chocolate, which were relatively cheap here.

Qin Zhen followed suit, though he bought considerably less than Chen Feng.

Then, they encountered several fellow Sichuanese-speaking countrymen in the duty-free shop, including two middle-aged couples in their fifties or sixties, and two women in their twenties, evidently two families together.

Seeing his fellow countrymen, Qin Zhen struck up a conversation: "Hello, are you here on vacation too?"

If this were back in the country, a sudden approach by strangers might trigger alertness, but being abroad, it felt like meeting an old friend in a foreign land. Plus, Qin Zhen's thick eyebrows and righteous appearance naturally inspired trust.

Moreover, Qin Zhen was a textbook handsome guy.

Therefore, one young woman cheerfully responded, "Yes, we've been here on vacation for about a week and plan to return home today. Did you just arrive, or are you heading back too?"

Qin Zhen couldn't help but smile upon hearing this, "It's quite a coincidence; I'm also heading back tonight on the 9:30 flight. Are you on the same flight?"

The young woman was also delighted and said, "Yes, quite the coincidence. We're on the same flight. How many days have you been here?"

Qin Zhen naturally replied, "I mainly came here for work, just played around for two or three days."

"Are you here on business? What do you do? Oh, sorry, I'm Pei Lei, a designer. How should I address you?"

The woman named Pei Lei extended her hand to Qin Zhen.

Qin Zhen didn't hesitate and reached out to shake her hand, smiling as he said, "I'm Qin Zhen, a police officer."

"Ah, you're a police officer?" Pei Lei looked surprised, as did the others, who glanced at Qin Zhen with some astonishment.

"Yes, a bona fide police officer," Qin Zhen replied, changing the topic, "You must all be from Sichuan Province, why did you decide to travel here? This place isn't known for its good security."

Pei Lei quickly said, "The security here isn't bad. We haven't encountered any issues these past few days. Of course, it might be because we have many people and are quite cautious. However, I find the locals here very warm and hospitable, and the scenery is great too."
