"Looks like you're doing well. I've been back in B City for so long, and only today did I find out that the famous Master Hong is actually the little lion I let go on a whim back then." Li Jia turned her head, took out her cigarettes, and handed one to Hong Guang.
Hong Guang took the cigarette Li Jia handed him, lit it for Li Jia with a lighter, and then lit his own, taking a deep drag. "Instructor, it's really embarrassing to think back on the first mission when I was declared dead."
“There’s nothing to be ashamed of. If it weren’t for your family, I wouldn’t have let you leave back then. Many years have passed, and I’m back here now for my family. I called you here today because there’s something I need your help to investigate…” After saying that, Li Jia pulled out her gourd pendant from around her neck, chatted with Hong Guang for a while, and then got up and left the beach.
Hong Guang didn't get back into his car until Li Jia had driven the Passat out of sight. Then, he recalled the time when he had fled back to China.
Hong Guang, codenamed Lion, was among the first batch of assassins trained by Li Jia. He was captured and taken abroad to be trained as an assassin for a certain group, but he died in his first mission. Of course, this death was faked, and Li Jia did not pursue the matter but gave him a way out. The reason might be that Hong Guang was also a Chinese who had been kidnapped there, and he was desperately trying to escape for his family. These things touched the chord of family affection in Li Jia's heart. For the first and only time, he personally let go of an assassin who had failed in his mission.
Hong Guang returned to China after Li Jia deliberately let him go. After years of hard work, he finally achieved his current status. Awakening from his reverie, Hong Guang drove away from the seaside.
The moment Li Jia stepped into the elevator last night, he sensed the chill in the woman's eyes. The elevator, naturally, stopped uncontrollably on the third basement level. Before the doors opened, a large amount of ether began spraying from one corner of the elevator. Within a short time, everyone inside lost consciousness, while Li Jia held his breath. He smashed open the elevator roof with his fist, then climbed up. As soon as he reached the top, the elevator doors opened, and three fully armed men entered, shooting him one by one with handguns. They then stuffed the bodies into bags, put them in a large van, and drove out of the underground parking lot, disappearing without a trace.
Li Jia returned to the top floor above the elevator. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she found that the round hall was empty, but a gunshot rang out from the conference room inside. So she took a knife from the sideboard and kicked open the conference room door, rescuing Hong Guang.
The reasons for rescuing Hong Guang were twofold: firstly, to find help for his younger sister; and secondly, because Hong Guang was also his student, and his influence in City B represented the only force he could currently utilize, which is why he intervened.
After Ninth Brother's attempt to force him to resign failed last night, he simply started his own gang. Several of Hung Kwong's trusted men were also eliminated by Ninth Brother, so Hung Kwong is now in a difficult situation. Fortunately, he still has his own secret team.
The day after the incident, a mysterious force appeared in City B and quickly took control of the situation. Hong Guang and Lao Jiu were locked in a standoff, while Tiger suddenly lost consciousness on his way home after the banquet. He was admitted to the hospital, and the current examination results indicate he is 100% in a vegetative state with no chance of waking up. Hong Guang had no choice but to give him a bullet as punishment for Tiger's betrayal.
Li Jia naturally didn't stay out of it either, and conveniently helped Hong Guang stage several accidental car accidents, taking down a few influential figures around Lao Jiu. This month, there have been an unusually large number of bloodshed incidents, with almost the entire criminal investigation team mobilized. Jiang Ling was also personally summoned back by the captain to participate in the busy work of handling various bloody scenes.
Although there were some unexpected incidents almost every night, they didn't disrupt most people's normal lives. May is almost over. In preparation for the students' college entrance exams, City B has finally launched a 30-day crackdown: Operation Bloodbath on the Subway to ensure the smooth conduct of the exams.
Before May 25th, the police in City B had a fruitful year, solving several cases that were almost cold cases, which made the citizens applaud. After half a month of rectification, City B returned to a peaceful state, and Hong Guang once again stood at the top of the underground forces in City B, with a speed that was astonishing.
Li Jia's dry cleaning shop has also seen new developments. The agreement with Zuolong Men's Clothing has expired, and customers have given Shujia Dry Cleaning Shop an excellent reputation. Therefore, Zhao Fei personally brought the second contract to the shop today.
"Mr. Li, a month has flown by. I checked the customer feedback, and the satisfaction rate is a whopping 100%! So, our next phase of cooperation will begin immediately. Here is the contract; please take a look." Today, Zhao Fei was dressed in a black business suit, exuding a very professional demeanor.
"Manager Meng, it's up to you now." After saying that, Li Jia handed the contract to Meng Yao, who was sitting to the side, and picked up a newspaper to read.
Zhao Fei didn't find Li Jia's actions disrespectful at all. Through their time together, she knew Li Jia's personality very well, so she didn't pay attention to Li Jia's behavior and instead looked at Meng Yao with a smile.
Meng Yao and Zhao Fei's second confrontation happened much faster than expected. In less than an hour, two revised contracts were already on the table. Since they were revised drafts, they couldn't be signed immediately, but both sides had no problems, so they could celebrate in advance.
Zhou Xiaoyu brought out a bottle of champagne from upstairs, and the three of them celebrated the continuation of their cooperation in advance. Then Zhao Fei took the revised contract and turned to leave. There were still many things to do before the contract was signed, so Li Jia did not try to stop her.
