Chapter 62 Provocation

Li Jia escorted Li Xiaoqing back to the classroom door. Standing there, she inadvertently noticed a boy in the corner of the classroom staring at her and Li Xiaoqing. His eyes were timid and had a sinister feel to them, which made Li Jia pay attention to the boy. She whispered in Li Xiaoqing's ear, "Is that boy related to you?"

Li Xiaoqing turned her head to look at the boy, then her face turned a little embarrassed. "That boy... he pursued me for a while... but my friends all said he had character issues and that he had a mental illness, so I ignored him. But he hasn't contacted me since, and even now when I see him, I still think he's weird..."

"Oh, right, try not to be alone when you don't have class. Stay with your classmates. I think that kid's expression is a bit strange. He might be the one who caused what happened earlier. You go to class. I'm going back now. Call me before school ends tonight and I'll come pick you up." After saying that, Li Jia glanced at the pair of flickering eyes in the corner, then turned and left the classroom where Li Xiaoqing was.

After driving back to the dry cleaner, Li Jia went to her study, turned on her computer, and skillfully logged into the internal website of the B University Student Archives Management Office. She found the boy's information in the second-year history department's files.

Huang Likai, 26 years old, a second-year transfer student in the History Department, has poor academic performance. Apart from that, this boy's file is almost blank. "Can you transfer to a university?" With this question in mind, Li Jia erased the login traces and stared at Huang Likai's extremely simple resume, lost in thought.

Li Jia spent some more time and finally found some clues on the internal website of the Student Records Management Office of the Education Bureau of City B. Huang Likai had taken a two-year leave of absence from school for some reason, and his parents were both high-ranking leaders in the Education Bureau. These clues gave Li Jia a basic understanding and inference about Huang Likai.

Huang Likai must have had to suspend his studies for some reason, and this reason must have caused panic among the students, which is why his file was so simple. The most likely explanation is that his parents used their connections to change his file and completely erased the previous one. There is a very simple way to find out about Huang Likai's situation: find someone who knew about his suspension of studies at the time.

Li Jia didn't know why she cared so much about Huang Likai. It might be because of Li Xiaoqing, but more so because of her intuition.

After shutting down the computer, Li Jia checked the time. There were still five minutes until 4 PM. Today's cooking class was scheduled to start at 7 PM, so Li Feng had plenty of time before then. Li Jia used this plenty of time to act as a shop assistant.

After changing into the men's uniform from Shujia Dry Cleaning, Li Jia walked downstairs with a smile. "Hello, Manager Meng! Employee Li Jia reporting for duty!"

"Alright, let's go in and get to work! Hehe!" Meng Yao said with a smile when she saw Li Jia's expression.

Li Jia went into the work area and hung Zhou Xiaoyu's freshly ironed clothes one by one on the clothes rack, arranging them neatly. Then, she stood next to the dry cleaning machine, meticulously watching it operate. When the time was up, she immediately opened the machine, took out the clothes, and placed them on the drying rack to prepare for the next step...

Two hours passed quickly, and Li Jia's work for the day was completed. After closing the shop, the three of them went upstairs. Zhou Xiaoyu changed her clothes and went to buy groceries, while Meng Yao and Li Jia went into their bedrooms.

Just as Li Jia entered her bedroom, she received a call from Li Xiaoqing, who told her that there was a lecture she needed to attend that evening, so she wouldn't be home until after 9:30. Li Jia was told to go about her business first, and she would call her after class.

As Li Jia hung up the phone, she checked the time. It was exactly six o'clock, and there was still an hour before class. So she decided to have dinner at home with Meng Yao and Zhou Xiaoyu before going to class.

Li Jia cooked dinner again, as is typical for dinner. His cooking skills have improved rapidly recently, and he enjoys cooking more and more. After a hearty dinner, Li Jia went to class.

As soon as she arrived at the training center, she heard a cacophony of voices coming from inside. Curious, Li Jia pushed open the door and saw An Ran surrounded by a group of beautiful women, all talking at once.

"What are you doing?" Li Jia had already guessed a little from the happiness on An Ran's face, but she still asked.

Upon seeing Li Jia's arrival, An Ran turned around and took out a bright red wedding invitation from her backpack, handing it to Li Jia. "Guobao, I'm getting married in two weeks. You absolutely have to come! We've been discussing it for a long time and finally decided that you should bring your girlfriend. What do you think? Any problems?"

Taking An Ran's wedding invitation, Li Jia smiled, opened it, glanced at it, and said casually, "Mission accomplished!" before putting the invitation into her pocket.

"Hehe, remember to find someone to keep you company! We sisters won't help you, you'll have to find one yourself! I want to meet your female companion next Friday!" After An Ran finished speaking, she and Wang Xiao exchanged glances. Li Jia knew that this woman was up to some mischievous idea again.

The teacher didn't teach anything new in class. Instead, a group of people surrounded An Ran, asking her all sorts of questions. Only Li Jia learned something new throughout the class. The rest of the women were still excitedly talking to An Ran even after class ended.

After class, Li Jia was the first to leave the training classroom because he had to pick up Li Xiaotong and take her home. He drove to the gate of B University, parked the car, and waited for Li Xiaoqing's call.

Twenty minutes later, students began to leave the school gate one after another. Just then, four obviously modified sports cars drove up from a distance and appeared at the school gate. The cars stopped, the doors opened, and four long-haired men and three scantily clad bald women got out.

Looking at this strange group of people, Li Jia suddenly felt a sense of familiarity. Looking at their long hair, Li Jia realized their identities: a biker gang. He had just dealt with a few long-haired lads, so they must be the same kind of guys.

Just as they were pondering this, a boy named Huang Likai came out of the school. He walked up to a group of long-haired boys, lowered his head, and kept looking at the bald women, muttering something under his breath.

Seeing this, Li Jia felt it was necessary to get out of the car and take a look. These guys might be after Li Xiaoqing. Li Jia opened the car door and pretended to enter the school as she walked past the group. Because the lights were not very bright at night, and Huang Likai's attention was focused on the bald women, he did not notice Li Jia passing by.

As Li Jia passed by, she overheard what the group was talking about. After hearing what they said, Li Feng's expression turned cold, and without any hesitation, he turned back and walked towards them.
