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...
"Is there a problem? I did go, but I didn't do anything. I just went to a bar and drank as an ordinary person. I think there must be a reason why such a bar can stand firm in Florence, the territory of the Dragon Dance Party. That's why I thought of coming back to ask you, what is the background of that bar?" Li Jia looked at Uncle Liang's expression and was also rapidly calculating in his mind what kind of power was behind the bar.
“No problem. The Vampire Bar is quite an exception in Florence. I don’t know who the owner is, but all the Dragon Kings have had close ties with them and have explicitly forbidden any investigation into their backgrounds. I don’t know why, but it’s been like this for decades.” Uncle Liang’s words made Li Jia even more interested in the bar. “Since the Dragon Dance Club isn’t allowed to investigate, then we won’t. But it seems some people aren’t from the Dragon Dance Club. Shouldn’t we be able to investigate them?”
Having made up her mind, Li Jia looked at Uncle Liang and asked, "Uncle Liang, how are the other elders progressing? Notify me immediately of any news; I need to have all the information as soon as possible."
“Okay, we should have news soon. Also, the people I sent out have reported back that the Hanmoli family hasn’t made any moves lately and doesn’t seem to care about the death of Xiston Hanmoli.” Uncle Liang nodded and then told Li Jia the news that his informants had relayed.
“Just keep monitoring them. They won’t give up so easily. The Mafia isn’t that magnanimous.” After saying this, Li Jia turned and left the council chamber. “Time for breakfast!”
Li Jia's abrupt shifts in thought startled Uncle Liang, who then burst out laughing, "Hehehe! You little rascal...!"
Li Jia spent the entire day arranging everything that was on her mind. The elders weren't very efficient; none of the things Li Jia requested arrived, which somewhat displeased Li Feng. However, there was nothing he could do. Perhaps it was due to the current situation of the Dragon Dance Association, causing fluctuations and instability in many things. These issues required time to be addressed and balanced.
At dusk, Li Jia arrived at the Huaxia Hotel, carrying a steaming cup of milk. She knocked on Wang Yuying's door and said, "Have some milk to warm your stomach. I'll go out for dinner with you later. Let's have something delicious."
Regardless of the reason, Wang Yuying and Li Jia had already shared a physical intimacy, especially at this time. No matter how busy Li Jia was, she needed to take time to care for Wang Yuying, whose body had just undergone a sexual encounter. Therefore, although Li Jia didn't say much, her actions and meticulous care filled Wang Yuying's face with happiness.
“Li Jia, don’t overthink it, and don’t worry too much. Although things have already… already… between us, you also saved my life. I never imagined that ‘a quick thrill and then death’ would turn into an addiction with you. I won’t die, but I still have to keep living. How about this, before I go back to China, can you spend some time with me every day?” Wang Yuying’s thoughts were clear. She didn’t dislike Li Jia; on the contrary, she had a little bit of affection for him. Of course, what happened between them was just part of her plan. Fortunately, her target was Li Feng, not some stranger. Perhaps continuing this wonderful relationship was a good choice.
"I will. Finished drinking? How are you? Do you have the energy to go for a walk?" Li Jia took the cup from Wang Yuying and put it aside, then asked softly.
"Hmm, I feel great, wait for me!" With that, Wang Yuying threw back the covers, her face slightly flushed, and put on a denim outfit in front of Li Jia. The tingling sensation as she put on her shoes while sitting on the edge of the bed made her let out a soft groan. ^^^^
"Does it still hurt a lot?" Li Jia sat to the side, tidying Wang Yuying's clothes and hair. Hearing the soft groans coming from her lips, she quickly asked with concern.
"It's alright. I didn't realize you could be so gentle and refined when you do that kind of thing, but you're like a warrior charging into battle. Very manly and powerful!" Wang Yuying looked at Li Jia with a reproachful smile on her face.
"Hehe, alright, let's go, let's go for a walk, let's go to the river, how about it?" Li Jia looked at Wang Yuying and said casually.
"Okay, whatever you say!" Wang Yuying acted like a little girl, and after getting dressed, she slowly walked out of the hotel with her arms around Li Jia's.
Along the banks of the Arno River, Li Jia and Wang Yuying walked slowly, watching the river flow by. "Yuying, I haven't seen Bai Zirou much these past two days. What's she been busy with?" Li Jia asked casually, her arm around Wang Yuying's slender waist.
"She...she's probably busy with her own things. She dragged me here, saying she was afraid I'd do something drastic if I were alone. I thought, 'If that's how it is, then let's come.' So I brought all my belongings here, ready to splurge, find a man to have some fun with, and then jump off a building." Wang Yuying didn't seem to know much about what Bai Zirou was doing, because she always locked herself in her room and rarely told Wang Yuying if she went out.
"You don't need to go abroad to commit suicide, do you?" Li Jia looked at Wang Yuying's serious face and wondered what was going on in this woman's head.
"Of course I wouldn't need to commit suicide, but if I want to have some fun, I have to come here. I've watched a lot of movies, and foreigners... in that area... are... better than... Chinese men... so... I came!" After hearing Wang Yuying's explanation, Li Jia couldn't help but smile bitterly, then shook her head and looked at Wang Yuying, "So what's the truth?"
