He was once a top-tier assassin, an existence that even international police feared. Now, he's the small owner of a dry-cleaning shop.
To take care of his younger brother and sister, whom...
Just as they were about to ask a question, the elevator doors opened. Li Jia pulled the female tour guide out of the elevator, turned around and coldly threw out a "Baka!" at the group of clueless people, then turned around and left with the female tour guide in a dashing manner.
"Who is he?" one of them asked.
"I don't know, maybe he's one of the participants in this mission. Don't worry about him. Go back to your rooms now. Then prepare yourselves; we'll depart in an hour." The man who seemed to be a minor leader said coldly. Everyone lowered their heads and said "Ha!" The elevator doors closed again, continuing their ascent.
Li Jia pulled the female tour guide to the top of the stairs, stopped, and looked at the tour guide's red and swollen eyes. "Don't cry. Don't you know they're Japanese?"
"Aren't you Japanese too?!" The girl's attitude towards Li Jia was very forceful. The company had forced her to be in charge of this group of tourists, which already made her feel very wronged, and now, sure enough, the thing she had been fearing had happened in the elevator. Although she had been rescued, the person who rescued her was also Japanese, which made the female tour guide, Yanlan, very uncomfortable, so she immediately retorted sharply.
"Hehe, quite the temper. I'm not Japanese. A genuine Chinese. Don't lump me in with them. Okay? Now, I want to ask you a few questions..." Li Jia said, stopping abruptly. Yan Lan's stomach rumbled, then Li Jia smiled at Yan Lan, "Let's go, I'll treat you to a late-night snack. We can chat while we eat."
Yanlan remained silent, which was taken as tacit acceptance of Li Jia's invitation. The two went to the hotel restaurant, which served guests 24 hours a day. After casually ordering two Chinese late-night set meals, Li Jia smiled and introduced herself, "My name is Li Jia." She then extended her hand.
"Qi Yanlan. You can call me Yanlan." The tour guide had a beautiful name. After saying that, she lowered her head and started eating voraciously. She hadn't eaten anything all day and had temporarily put Li Feng aside.
"I'm sorry. I misunderstood you earlier." She finally looked up after finishing her meal, and said apologetically to Li Jia.
"It's alright, where did they come from, tour group?" Li Jia took a sip of tea and looked into Qi Yanlan's eyes as she asked.
"They came from Tokyo. They've been here for a few days. It's peak season for tourism right now, so there are a lot of people coming from abroad every day." Qi Yanlan naturally knew more about this than Li Jia. She launched into a long explanation.
"One last question, which room are they staying in?" Li Jia had been planning to go and check, but a small accident happened, and she ended up sitting here with Qi Yanlan.
"The fourteenth floor. Five suites in a row, each with two to three people. It could even be a large group of people living together. Those disgusting people are capable of anything." Qi Yanlan finished speaking, wiping the rice grains from her mouth. "Thank you for today. It's getting late. I need to go home. Bye."
Watching Qi Yanlan get up and leave, Li Jia checked her watch. Forty minutes had passed since she parted ways with that group. After sitting for another ten minutes, Li Jia got up, left the restaurant, entered the elevator, pressed the button for the fourteenth floor, and quietly waited for her destination to arrive.
Soon, the elevator bell rang. They had arrived at the fourteenth floor. Li Jia straightened her collar, then went out, looked at the room numbers in the lobby, and finally chose room 14114 on the far left. Standing at the door, she smiled gently and politely knocked. "Hello! Room service!"
