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...
Upon receiving the phone call about Xiaoyue, Meng Yao was specially invited to come back to the store to help out for a few days, and she agreed.
With two days to go, Li Jia was in her study preparing what she needed to bring. She had turned dozens of darts into a cool belt and wrist guards, a black suit she hadn't worn in a long time, a brand new shirt and tie, some essential identification documents, some cash, and a few cards.
"Mr. Li, everything is ready, we can leave anytime!" Canglang called quickly. After hanging up, Li Jia immediately went downstairs. "Meng Yao, I'm leaving. I'm leaving the shop to you."
"Okay, don't worry, I'll take care of everything!" Meng Yao nodded to Li Jia without saying much, but her eyes conveyed countless messages such as "Be careful and stay safe."
Upon arriving at the Rose of Cannons, Canglang took out what he had prepared for Li Jia: an invitation to a friendship exchange meeting between students from China, Italy, and China. The meeting was to be held on a small island far from the city, an island very close to Japan. Although Li Jia was also curious as to why the meeting was held in that place, the joy of seeing his little sister for the first time made him not think too much about it, and instead he focused all his energy on Li Xiaoyue, whom he was about to meet.
Taking a boat is a good option to reach the island called Kawa Island. In addition to preparing an invitation for Li Jia, Cang Lang has also bought the boat tickets. That route was opened purely for this Three Kingdoms Student Friendship Exchange Meeting. Once the exchange meeting ends, the route will be shut down immediately.
"Mr. Li, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now. Master Hong asked me to go over as soon as I finish these matters." After Canglang finished speaking, he left with Li Jia's nod. Li Jia looked at the invitation and ticket in her hand and a faint smile appeared on her face.
Kawa Island finally arrived as Li Jia had been looking forward to. After disembarking, someone from the exchange meeting picked her up. Once on the island, Li Jia didn't follow the people who picked her up to the destination. Instead, she walked around the island on her own, looking at the beautiful scenery around her. "The place is pretty good. These guys know how to choose. They brought a social gathering here. It would be more appropriate to call it a tourism social gathering."
Kawa Island is not very large, and there are not many people living on it. There are fewer than a hundred households living on the island, which is only a few kilometers in circumference. This island is a small island located on the border between China and Japan, and it is also one of the best places in the world for diving. Therefore, although it is not famous, quite a few people know about it.
There are plenty of hotels and guesthouses in the small town on the island, as there is never a shortage of tourists. The meeting place for the friendship exchange between students from the three countries was set up in the largest hotel on the island, called the Kawa Hotel. The hotel has a banquet hall with an area of nearly 1,000 square meters, which is perfect for the exchange meeting.
According to the information given to Li Jia by the mistress, this trilateral student exchange meeting was being held for the first time. The initiator was Ricard High School in Florence, Italy. The school claimed that the purpose of this student friendship exchange meeting was to recruit more outstanding students, so it invited outstanding students and teachers from key junior high schools in Japan and China to come together and make due contributions to the friendship among the three countries.
Each country has a total of 120 places for students and teachers, meaning each country has 100 students and 20 teachers participating. City B, where Li Jia is located, has 10 places for students and 3 places for teachers. The invitation letter that Cang Lang prepared for Li Jia was originally for someone named Jiang Hanlin, but Cang Lang replaced it with Li Jia's name, which gave Li Jia the opportunity to enter this exchange meeting and find his little sister, Li Xiaoyue.
After spending the whole day exploring the island, Li Jia arrived at the Kawa Hotel. The organizers had already booked all the rooms in the hotel. At the front desk, Li Jia took out her invitation, and the receptionist didn't suspect anything. After registering Li Jia's name on the computer, she handed over the room key to Li Jia.
Holding the room key, Li Jia felt a little suspicious. "Isn't this too simple? Although the school is the one invited and is responsible for sending students and teachers to the exchange meeting, what just happened clearly shows that the organizers don't care who comes, or even what the people who are coming are called. What could be the reason?"
Filled with questions, Li Jia opened her room door and placed the room card in the slot behind the door. Her mind raced, trying to decipher the inconsistencies in the situation. Li Jia lay down on the bed and said, "Never mind, I'll talk about it at the banquet tonight!"
At 9:30 p.m., the Three Kingdoms Student Friendship Exchange Association will organize a welcome dinner before the formal meeting. The purpose is to give the students and teachers attending the meeting an opportunity to get to know each other. At this time, Li Jia will have the opportunity to find out what is going on.
At 9:15, Li Jia stepped out of the room, dressed in a black suit and wearing black-rimmed glasses. Anyone would think he was an excellent teacher. Li Jia had a natural advantage in impersonating a teacher.
The banquet hall of the Cava Hotel was already bustling with activity. The seats for students and teachers were marked separately. As soon as Li Jia appeared in the banquet hall, two typical Italian beauties came up to her. "Hello! I am Jessica and this is Sandy. It's a pleasure to meet you here."
The two beauties each had their own unique charm. Jessica, who was speaking, had deep-set eyes, and her pair of sapphire blue eyes sparkled with passionate light. Her straight, long golden hair was neatly draped behind her head, and her fair skin, combined with her height of about 1.8 meters, made her stand out.
The other Sandy was much more formidable. Why "much more formidable"? It's because although Sandy was a little shorter than Jessica, her legs, which emerged from her beige short skirt, were covered in scars. Although her arms were covered with makeup, the long scar on the side of her slightly bulging biceps was still faintly visible.
Looking at Sandy beside her, Li Jia keenly sensed a familiar feeling...
