"Tomorrow morning? Weren't we supposed to visit that mosque tomorrow? Why aren't we going?" Xiaoyue asked, puzzled, after hearing Li Jia's words.

"Hehe, the plans have changed. We need to speed things up, so we'll leave tomorrow morning and arrive in Moscow around noon. We won't stay in Moscow; we'll transfer directly to Rome! We expect to arrive in Rome late at night again!" Li Jia finished speaking and looked at Xiaoyue with a smile. Xiaoyue also showed a mysterious smile.

"Okay, I'll go back and rest then. Is it still possible to book a flight for tomorrow morning?" Xiaoyue's question made Li Jia nod. "I'll try to figure it out. You go back and rest."

Xiaoyue nodded. "Okay, I'm going back to rest now. I can still get four hours of sleep. Goodnight!" After saying that, she opened the door and went out.

Li Jia glanced at the clock in the room; it was already 3:00 AM local time. After thinking for a moment, she picked up the phone and dialed the front desk. "Hello, how can I help you?"

"I need to book three tickets for the earliest flight tomorrow to Rome, preferably with a layover in Moscow. I have some things to take care of there, hmm..." After hanging up the phone, Li Jia went to sleep.

At eight o'clock in the morning, while Li Jia and her two companions were having breakfast, hotel staff delivered three plane tickets to Rome, with a one-hour layover in Moscow. "Why go to Moscow? That's KGB territory in Russia. They have connections with various Italian Mafia families. Isn't it a bit too dangerous to go there?"

Xiao Long's concerns were not unfounded, and Li Jia nodded in agreement. "That's true, but remember, the three of us aren't at the level of the KGB hijacking a plane. So, at least we're safe until the plane lands in Rome. Remember our plan? We're going to make a big show of it. That will put some psychological pressure on those elders, making things easier for them. Okay, let's eat. The plane takes off in an hour and a half; we need to get to the airport!"

Li Jia still wore that inscrutable, innocent smile. Xiao Long thought her smile was full of mystery, while to others it appeared genuinely peaceful, without any hidden meaning.

At Tehran's Imam Khomeini Airport, Li Jia and her two companions boarded a plane bound for Moscow. On the plane, Xiaoyue looked at Li Feng and Xiaolong with a relaxed expression. "I feel like this trip back to Florence is like an international vacation, flying here today and there tomorrow. If only there were freebies like this every day!"

“Hehe, I didn’t want to either, but someone paid for these plane tickets, so it wouldn’t be right to not fly to more countries on official business. What do you think, Xiaolong?” Li Jia’s explanation made Xiaolong turn his head away helplessly, ignoring the two somewhat eccentric siblings, Li Jia and her brother.

There wasn't much entertainment on the plane. They browsed magazines and admired the flight attendants; time passed quickly amidst the roar of the engine. Moscow Airport came into view of Li Feng and his group. There weren't many people transferring here; after the plane landed, nearly half the passengers disembarked, and the rest were passengers flying to Rome.

Among the people boarding in Moscow, Li Jia keenly noticed more than a dozen cold gazes. Four people stood out, and the rest were likely their subordinates, sitting in the back of the cabin, their eyes fixed on the two flight attendants standing at the cabin door.

However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that these four people are not admiring the flight attendants, but rather their gazes are unfocused. They are actually observing the passengers in the cabin. Soon, their eyes are fixed on Li Jia and her two companions, as well as a bald middle-aged man two rows in front of Li Feng. Next to that middle-aged man are two scantily clad women.

"Hehe, someone's watching us. It seems our whereabouts have been completely tracked. So, let's go full speed ahead. Rome will be our toughest stop yet. As long as we can leave Rome alive, no one can stop us anymore," Li Jia said with a smile in Xiao Long's ear.

After listening to Li Jia's words, Xiao Long glanced behind him, then turned back to Li Jia and said, "Sixteen people, that's quite a strong lineup. I wonder if we should raise our prices a bit? Is 500,000 euros for three people a bit too cheap?"

Li Jia didn't expect Xiao Long to start joking quietly at this moment. Seeing Xiao Long's nonchalant attitude, Li Jia nodded, "You're very good. I feel very relieved to leave Xiao Yue in your protection."

Xiao Long didn't pay attention to Li Jia's words, but the topic of their net worth was being discussed in the outside world. Just as Xiao Long said, the net worth of the three of them had increased significantly. Xiao Yue's net worth had risen to 500,000 euros, while Li Jia and Xiao Long's net worth was 250,000 euros each. As a result, some experts who were not originally interested started to move around, and some unrealistic individuals also got wind of the news and wanted to get a share of the pie, such as the dozen or so Russians on the plane.

The flight was uneventful, and the plane arrived safely at Rome's FIUMICINO Airport. There were many ways to leave the airport, but it was 1 a.m., so the only option was to take the train. Fortunately, a train would arrive approximately every twenty minutes. Li Feng and his two companions did not take the first train, and the dozen or so people also tacitly avoided it. After the first train left, only Li Feng and his two companions, along with the dozen or so other people, remained at the station.

"Hehe, thank you for waiting!" Li Jia and Xiao Long shielded Xiao Yue behind them, turned around and smiled at the dozen or so people.
