"Xiaoyu, where did Li Jia go?" Jiang Ling asked Zhou Xiaoyu loudly as soon as she entered, her face full of anxiety.

"Brother Li went out? To the advertising company! What's wrong, Sister Jiang? Is something wrong?" Zhou Xiaoyu put down her work, went out from behind the counter to get Jiang Ling'er a cup of hot water, and then the two sat down in the rest area.

"Li Jia went to the advertising media company? Are you sure?" Jiang Ling was still a little skeptical, because she had been calling Li Jia all morning but her phone was off. Jiang Ling was also annoyed that she had believed Li Jia. "If Li Jia really went to race with that Gao Lilong, she will definitely lose! Losing is fine, but if something happens to her, it will be even worse!"

"Yes! I'm sure. He's been gone for almost two hours, but I think he forgot his phone; it's charging." After Zhou Xiaoyu finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Ling's anxious face, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind: "Could it be that Sister Jiang has fallen for Brother Li?"

"Oh, that's good! That's good! I'll wait for him here, you go ahead and do your work." Jiang Ling received the definite news and completely relaxed, sitting in the rest area waiting for Li Jia to return.

Finally, half an hour later, Li Jia pushed open the door and walked in with a few colorful flyers. When she saw Jiang Ling in the rest area, she smiled and walked over. "Why are you here at this hour? Did you skip work again?"

"Huh? Li... Li Jia! You're really okay! I'm so glad you're alright! I skipped work to come here and tell you not to agree to anything with that Gao Lilong! He's a complete scoundrel!" Jiang Ling saw Li Jia, dressed in a formal suit, smiling as he appeared before her, and a hint of joy rose in her heart. She quickly grabbed Li Jia's arm and blurted out the purpose of her visit.

Li Jia was somewhat moved after hearing this. She sat down opposite Jiang Ling and placed the colorful brochures in her hand on the coffee table in front of them. "Take a look and see which one is better!"

"You! I'm talking to you about serious business!" Jiang Ling said, somewhat annoyed by Li Jia's expression. Li Jia then picked up one of the color pages. "I think this illustration is great, very impactful! What do you think?"

"You! Are you even listening to me?" Jiang Ling snatched the brochure from Li Jia's hand, tossed it aside, and then leaned in close to Li Jia, staring intently at her smiling face.

"Hehe, of course I'm listening, but you should give me some suggestions first, and tell me which one I should choose?" Li Jia's words left Jiang Ling speechless. She felt a sense of powerlessness towards this refined man. "I give up! I'll choose this one." She randomly picked a picture and then glared at Li Feng with her arms crossed.

"This one? This one is not bad either. Xiaoyu, come over here for a bit, let's take a look and see which one is better." After Li Jia finished speaking, she called Zhou Xiaoyu, who was busy, to the rest area and unfolded the three pictures in her hands and placed them on the coffee table.

"Xiaoyu likes this one, it looks so attractive!" Zhou Xiaoyu said, picking up the one that Li Jia had initially chosen.

"Two to one, I'll choose this one!" After Li Feng finished speaking, he stacked the remaining two together, took the one from Zhou Xiaoyu's hand, and examined it carefully.

Jiang Ling sat there, staring fiercely at Li Jia with unblinking eyes, her teeth grinding together.

"Okay! This one!" Li Jia caught a glimpse of Jiang Ling's expression out of the corner of her eye; she seemed to be on the verge of exploding. She quickly put down the color brochure in her hand. "Wait for me." Then she hurried upstairs to the second floor and came back down two minutes later.

He approached Jiang Ling, grabbed her hand, and placed a neatly folded piece of white paper in her palm. "Take a look at this!"

Jiang Ling opened the blank paper in her hand with a question in her mind. The next moment, Jiang Ling looked at the contents of the paper and her head went blank. An indescribable feeling welled up from the bottom of her heart: "You...you really won against Gao Lilong..."

“Yes, I did say that I’m a professional race car driver abroad. I never lie.” Li Jia said, standing up with a calm expression.

"Hey? Let me ask you a question, why did you help me?" Jiang Ling's voice sounded a little awkward.

"Because you are my friend." After Li Jia finished speaking, a faint smile once again appeared on his face.

"I am your friend... your friend... just because of that?" Jiang Ling murmured, looking at the refined man in front of her, her mind went blank for a moment.

"Otherwise, why do you think?" After saying that, Li Jia walked up to Jiang Ling, placed her hands on Jiang Ling's shoulders, and stared into Jiang Ling's eyes as she spoke softly.

“That’s right! I’m your friend, and you’re my friend too! I’ll protect you if you ever need anything! Now, I have to go back to work, or I’ll be in big trouble if the boss checks up on me!” Jiang Ling said, then hurriedly broke free from Li Jia’s gaze and ran out of the dry cleaner’s shop. She started her light motorcycle and disappeared without a trace.

Li Jia watched Jiang Ling run away quickly, feeling quite pleased. "It seems this seemingly carefree woman is actually quite sensitive, but her personality is really... I really don't understand why she became a police officer." Li Jia looked at the IOU lying on the coffee table, shook her head, put it away, and then looked at Zhou Xiaoyu, who was peeking from the side. "What are you looking at?"

"Hehe, I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything!" Zhou Xiaoyu said, turning back to continue ironing the clothes. Her back could be seen moving from time to time, clearly the little girl was chuckling. As for why she was chuckling, Li Jia was too lazy to think about it, as she had a lot of things to do.

Holding the selected design, Li Jia was about to call the advertising company when she suddenly remembered that her phone was still charging in the study. So she went upstairs to the study, unplugged the charging phone, and turned it on. Dozens of text message notifications started ringing like an alarm clock.

Li Jia sat in front of the computer, scrolling through the messages one by one. Several were from the mysterious woman, and the rest were twenty-seven text messages from Jiang Ling inquiring about her situation. After reviewing them all, Li Jia cleared her inbox and then dialed the advertising company's number.

After finalizing the design and agreeing on a delivery location three days later, Li Jia stretched lazily, turned on her computer, and browsed some random news websites online.

While browsing the news, a large image caught Li Feng's eye: "Mr. Meng Xianzong, a wealthy and famous philanthropist in M ​​City, passed away suddenly from a heart attack. Who will inherit his hundreds of millions of assets?" After reading all the analysis reports and some netizens' comments, Li Jia squinted and pondered the things behind this matter.

One of Li Jia's habits is not to let his brain rest easily, but to maintain a good analytical and judgment ability. So as long as something can attract Li Jia, he will analyze the cause of the whole thing based on some existing information and deduce various possibilities. Of course, this is just a way for Li Jia to practice his brain. He does not have any intention of participating in the matter. It is just a means to practice logical reasoning and analysis ability.

After Li Jia analyzed more than a dozen possibilities, she closed the webpage, got up, and went to the living room. Meng Yao was on the sofa, hugging a pillow and watching TV. The news on the TV was exactly the content from the webpage that Li Jia had just been looking at. Meng Yao sat there motionless, staring blankly at the TV screen.
