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...
"Uncle Liang, everything is arranged at the airport. We can depart after dinner," the person who was supposed to meet us said respectfully, standing in front of Uncle Liang.
"Thank you for your hard work, Ajiang!" Uncle Liang nodded, and Ajiang turned around and got into the car to act as the driver. The luxurious convoy slowly drove away from the port and headed straight for the Kim Jeong Hotel in Busan.
Behind the convoy, a Hyundai car trailed far behind, driven by none other than the ever-changing enchanting angel, Angel!
The flight from Busan to Rome, Italy, involves crossing almost half the globe, making it a truly long journey with several transfers. The itinerary includes stops in Astana and Moscow.
"Miss, the car is ready, we can set off!" Uncle Liang said softly to Emily.
Emily nodded, then stood up and followed Uncle Liang out of the hotel. Outside, three Mercedes-Benz cars were lined up in a row. Uncle Liang led Emily into the middle car, and then the three cars quickly drove out of the hotel. Emily was somewhat absent-minded the whole way. Compared to Uncle Liang's nervousness, Emily looked tired.
There were no unexpected incidents along the way, and the car arrived at Busan Airport smoothly. As Emily was escorted into the airport terminal by four bodyguards, the security guard at the airport entrance took out his phone and stared at Emily's back, reporting something in a low voice. Behind him stood a woman with a sinister smile. After listening to his words, she silently floated into the terminal.
On the plane to Astana, Emily, sitting in first class, still held the jade gourd pendant in her hand, gazing absently at the dark night sky. Beside her was Uncle Liang, who was resting with his eyes closed. The other four bodyguards were sitting in the front row of economy class so they could respond at any time.
Inside the first-class cabin sat a woman dressed in white, with two shallow dimples on her slightly alluring face, and her watery eyes blinking as she looked at the fashion magazine in her hands with interest.
As the plane took off, everyone in the cabin relaxed. Since the flight was going to be long, it was essential to get a good night's sleep. An hour after takeoff, Emily, holding the jade gourd pendant, had already fallen asleep on the large sofa seat. Meanwhile, Uncle Liang had already opened his eyes and stared intently at the passengers in the cabin.
Whether Emily can safely reach Italy and return to Florence is a matter of life and death for Longwu, as well as whether he can complete the mission given to him by the Dragon King. It is also worth mentioning that Uncle Liang watched Emily grow up. Almost all of Emily's skills were taught to her by him, including weapons, combat, English, Chinese and so on.
Two hours later, the cabin fell silent. Uncle Liang gradually relaxed his guard. Before dawn, even when he was relaxed, Uncle Liang would not close his eyes. At this time, apart from Uncle Liang, even the strange woman who had been very energetic had fallen into a deep sleep. The quiet space was filled with intermittent snoring.
As dawn broke, the passengers who had opened their eyes stood up and did some simple exercises in the cabin. Uncle Liang also stood up and slowly stretched his neck. Emily also woke up and went to the restroom.
Uncle Liang didn't say anything, just casually walked around the cabin, but his movements were very close to the restroom. This old man was really protecting Emily very well. However, as protective as he was, he couldn't just walk into the restroom as freely as that strange woman.
The instant Emily emerged and brushed past her, a small, round object shot from the eerie woman's hand and disappeared into Emily's still-open coat...
