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...
Li Jia looked at Cang Lang standing in front of her and nodded. "I'm the person you're here to pick up. Is the car ready? Let's talk on the way."
"Yes, Mr. Li, the car is over there." Canglang was clearly surprised that Li Jia had returned to China in this capacity. Looking at Xiaoyue and Xiaolong following behind, Canglang nodded in greeting. As Li Jia got into the car and passed Canglang, Canglang whispered something in her ear. After hearing it, Li Jia looked at Canglang's hand in his lap, then nodded and got into the car.
After the group got into the car, it headed straight for the Dragon King's hometown, H Town, without making any further stops.
"Canglang, has anything major happened in China recently?" Sitting in the car, Li Jia looked at Canglang sitting in front of her and asked softly.
"There aren't any in China, but Interpol cracked a major kidnapping case recently. The kidnapped people involved Italy, Japan, and our country. The crimes were heinous, and it's said to be the work of some powerful figures, but there's no evidence. Even if it is, there's not much we can do about those guys." It had been a while since Canglang had spoken, and he became more talkative.
After listening to Canglang's words, Li Jia nodded slightly. It seemed that calling the police was quite timely; otherwise, the matter might not have been resolved so quickly. "I've heard a little about that incident, haha. Okay, I'm a bit tired after such a long flight. You guys continue, I'll rest for a bit." Originally, Li Jia planned to rest for a while after getting off the plane before continuing. However, Xiaoyue was very stubborn and refused to agree, giving a reason that Li Jia couldn't refute: "Let Dad's ashes be laid to rest sooner. Then Dad can ascend to heaven sooner." That was what Xiaoyue said to Li Jia, and Li Jia had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Everyone in the car was exhausted, but Xiaoyue stubbornly held Ai Sihai's ashes in her arms, waiting for their destination. Li Jia glanced at Xiaoyue, then closed her eyes; she couldn't meditate in the car, so she could only regulate her breathing and think about the whole story. Time passed by, minute by minute.
After a three-hour drive, they finally arrived at H Town, the former residence of the Dragon King. Following the address provided by Elder Yu Xianming, they finally found the ancestral home of Dragon King Ai Sihai after many twists and turns. Then, in a large cemetery behind the ancestral home, Li Jia and the others found the Ai family's ancestral graves.
With a numb expression, Xiaoyue opened Ai Sihai's urn and began scattering the ashes as she walked through the cemetery. Only after all the ashes were scattered in the cemetery where the Ai family descendants were buried did Xiaoyue kneel down and gently kowtow three times. She then stood up, took a deep breath, and a relieved smile appeared on her face. Turning to Li Jia, she said, "Big brother! We did it! Dad can go to heaven sooner!"
"That's right, the Dragon King can rest in peace now, and Miss can stay here with him. Congratulations on your reunion, father and daughter! Hahaha!" Behind Li Jia, four of her henchmen had appeared out of nowhere. They pointed at Li Jia, Xiao Long, and Ai Xiaoyue, who were standing in the garden.
Canglang and the others couldn't come here in person, so they left their car and people in front of Ai Sihai's ancestral home, waiting for Li Jia and the others. Therefore, currently, only the seven people who returned from Italy are in this ancestral cemetery.
"Are the four of you Yu Xianming's confidants?" Li Jia looked at the four men in front of her and suddenly realized something. The weapons in their hands also brought a mysterious smile to Li Jia's face.
“We Chinese value face, so I’ll give you that face. Anyway, you’ll be here with the Dragon King. That’s right, we are the Grand Elder’s confidants. If you become a ghost, don’t blame us. We only have one order: to kill you, especially you, because you know too much!” One of the henchmen, the leader, had his gun aimed at Li Jia’s mouth. After saying that, he was about to pull the trigger.
"Hehe, it seems I have to blame myself for this. I accidentally said something to the very person I was talking to before I left. Fine, since you want to kill the three of us, what makes you think you can do that? Take a few guns?" Li Jia looked at the guns in the hands of the men, his smile growing wider. Xiao Long had already shielded Xiao Yue behind him, his eyes fixed on the four men. Given the chance, Xiao Long would surely unleash a fatal blow.
"You're asking for it! Do it!" Enraged by Li Jia's words, the boys aimed their guns at the three men and pulled the triggers!
Everyone present, except Li Jia, was terrified by what happened next. The expected sound didn't come; instead, several gunshots clearly went blank. The moment the gunshots finished, Xiao Long pounced like a leopard, delivering a vicious elbow strike that knocked down the first person to speak. He then swept his leg across the ground, sending the nearest guy sprawling. He followed up with a kick to the guy's mouth. The remaining two henchmen frantically pulled the triggers, but it was all the same – a single, ruthless blow from Xiao Long was fatal!
What appears to be a series of actions actually happens in the blink of an eye, no more than five seconds, and the four people who initially seemed to have the upper hand are now dead.
Li Jia stood there motionless the whole time. When Xiao Long shielded Ai Xiaoyue behind him, he nodded slightly, greatly admiring Xiao Long's actions. When Xiao Long swept everyone away like a whirlwind, Li Jia smiled and nodded, "Those from Falcon are indeed quite capable."
After saying that, he put his arm around Ai Xiaoyue and walked out of the cemetery. When they arrived in front of the former residence, he said to Canglang, who was standing there, "Dispose of the body, and then we'll go back to City B."
