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...
"Alright, Sheriff, you can get ready. We're heading to Rome first thing tomorrow morning." At this point, Li Jia no longer hid anything from Sheriff Hai Rui. It would be more convenient for Scorpion and Little Dragon to be upfront about things. As for Blackie, he believed Blackie would have his own way of handling things. He couldn't reveal his identity for the time being; there were still very important things waiting for him to do!
The following evening, Hai Rui followed Li Jia to Rome. It was at the Baths of Caracalla that Chief Inspector Hai Rui finally saw what the big arms dealer he had always wondered about was really like.
"Chief, this is the buyer for this case, Xiao Long from the Dragon Dance Club. The other one is my friend Richard, who is very skilled, especially with firearms. He's here to help. And this is Chief Heryl from the Florence Police Department, in charge of the Florence district investigation for this case." The four grown men were soaking in the steaming hot bath when Li Jia, acting as the middleman, introduced them to each other.
"Hello! I didn't expect Mr. Li to have such a big appetite. But it's good, we've wanted to remove that cancerous tumor for a long time. You've created this opportunity, and I think it's perfect for you!" Chief Hai Rui didn't pay attention to Li Jia's introduction. Names weren't important; what mattered was remembering these two faces. Li Jia had given him such a generous gift, and there were some things he needed to help with!
"Chief, we've decided on the location for the transaction: Florence. The exact place is still being finalized, but the time is midnight the day after tomorrow!" Under Li Jia's watchful gaze, Xiao Long stepped forward and told Chief Hai Rui about the matter. This news was far more accurate and reliable to Hai Rui than the information obtained by those arrogant guys at Interpol!
"Hehe, I'm in a great mood today, want to play a couple of rounds?" Scorpion suggested from the side, but Harry shook his head firmly. "I have to go back to Florence immediately and make full preparations."
Li Jia smiled as he watched Chief Hai Rui get up and leave; that's more like the demeanor of a qualified chief.
"Master, what's wrong?" Scorpion asked Li Jia in confusion after Hai Rui left, as Li Jia's introduction had made him seem like a different person.
"Hehe, it's more convenient for Xiaolong, you're in too much danger!" After Li Jia finished speaking, she closed her eyes and relaxed to enjoy herself. Scorpion suddenly realized that the name Scorpion was too sensitive.
Once upon a time, this name was a legend in the arms industry, even more revered than major arms dealers. Similarly, the police were also very interested in the owner of this name, not for any other reason than his superb skills in modifying weapons. As for the charges, just think of his global arsenal!
Xiao Long, on the other hand, is very clean, a standard member of the Dragon Dance Club, and one of the Dragon Girl's bodyguards. He's someone you can talk to without fear of the light of day. Aside from that, Li Jia still doesn't quite trust the police. Even though it's Chief Inspector Hai Rui, with whom she has worked for a long time, she still has some concerns. So, when introducing him, she deliberately put Xiao Long in front of everyone.
"Master, here's their phone number." Scorpion picked up the phone that had been lying to the side and pointed to the number on the screen, saying to Li Jia.
Li Jia glanced at the scorpion, then nodded to him after a moment. "Just proceed according to plan."
After receiving confirmation from Li Jia, Scorpion answered the phone, "It's me. Yes, okay. Money is no problem, haha, but I won't carry it on me, right? No discussion. Nowhere but Florence. I think you know the reason better than I do. Your reputation hasn't been very good lately!"
