After a long while, the old man suddenly noticed that the gourd was only half full. He stared at Li Jia and asked, "Where is the other half? My master said that if this gourd is split, it means that family members are separated. Have you and your family been separated?"
Li Jia nodded, quietly waiting for the old man to continue. "This gourd is called Chaos Reunion, and its ancient meaning is family reunion. Before my master died, he made this Chaos Reunion, I think it was given to his good friend. After my master died, I also made one, but it is much inferior to my master's." The old man gently stroked the emerald green gourd in his hand and murmured.
"Hehe, don't laugh at me, but my master is five years younger than me. But in this trade, skill comes first, so it's no big deal. This gourd is probably the only one of its kind in the world, and now it's missing half. Alas, it seems my old bones can't go to the grave after all. I really hope to see the complete Chaos Reunion one day." After the old man finished speaking, he returned the gourd to Li Jia and said to her, "This can't be rushed. The other half will appear naturally when the time comes. Alright, I'm a little sleepy. You can go out now."
After listening to the old man finish speaking, Li Jia hung the gourd around his neck and gestured for Hong Guang and Cang Lang to leave the ward together. "Take good care of Mr. Sang. I'm going back now. There's no need to continue investigating this matter. Perhaps the old man is right; it will happen naturally when the time is right. Thank you for your hard work these past few days!" After Li Jia finished speaking, Hong Guang involuntarily stood up straight, but immediately reacted and, under Cang Lang's strange gaze, said somewhat awkwardly to Li Jia, "Mr. Li, I will continue to investigate this matter and will notify you immediately if there is any news. Also, recently there has been a reckless fellow who keeps causing you trouble. I have already made arrangements to change the names of all his businesses within a month."
"Okay, whatever you want. Just teach him a lesson, don't push him too far." After saying that, Li Jia walked out under Cang Lang's gaze.
Canglang was shocked by Hong Guang's reaction. "Who is this Mr. Li that my idol, Master Hong, respects so much?!" He wanted to ask, but Hong Guang didn't give him a chance. "Let's go. We'll continue investigating Mr. Li's matter." After saying that, he looked at Canglang's expression. "Some things are better left unknown! Seize the opportunity. Maybe one day Mr. Li will truly consider you a friend." After saying that, Hong Guang walked towards the stairs.
The wolf was left there to ponder for a long time. He felt somewhat uncomfortable about Hong Guang's words, but when he thought about Hong Ye's performance just now, his unease gradually turned into curiosity. This curiosity eventually led him to become Li Jia's eighth apprentice, but that's another story.
Li Jia's dry cleaning shop was forced to close before the headquarters inspectors arrived. Although Li Jia didn't want to pay attention to the headquarters' notice, she thought again that since she had a rare opportunity to take a vacation, she might as well close the shop. She put up a "Temporarily Closed" sign, closed the door, and prepared to go to her uncle's house in F City for two days and pick up her younger brother and sister. Early in the morning, Chen Mingguang's smug laughter came.
"Mr. Li, it seems your little shop is probably going to have to close down. I'll say it again: leave Chen Yi, and I'll take care of your problems. How about it?" Chen Mingguang didn't even get out of the car. He opened the window and looked at Li Jia, who was about to get in, and said this in a pretentious manner.
"Hehe, take care of yourself!" Li Jia looked up at Chen Mingguang's smug expression, shook her head slightly, smiled as she answered, got into her car, started the engine, and drove away slowly.
