Emily returned to her seat, stretched her arms comfortably, and asked, "Uncle Liang, how much longer until we reach Astana?"
“Miss, it should be about half an hour more,” Uncle Liang replied, sitting to Emily’s left and looking into her eyes.
"Hmm, why do we need to transfer in Astana? I remember there are direct flights from Beijing to Rome, right?" Emily put the jade gourd pendant back around her neck and asked, somewhat puzzled.
“Yes, Miss, there are flights from Beijing to Rome, but this time we’re transiting through Astana because the Dragon King wants me to find someone there, a master. He’ll be with us, transiting through Moscow before flying to Rome. The reason for going to Moscow is also because we have people there. After two transits, we’ll have a certain fighting strength, and we won’t be in too much trouble when we arrive in Rome!” Uncle Liang answered word by word, his expression carrying a worry that was hard to detect.
“Okay, I understand, Rome…” Emily said, leaning back in her chair with a tired expression.
Long-haul flights are really tiring. Besides jet lag, the mental fatigue is even more so. So when Emily arrived in Astana, the first thing she did after getting off the plane was to go to the hotel and get a good night's sleep. The layover here was for 24 hours. After 24 hours, another flight would take her from this somewhat remote city to Moscow.
Astana is located in the center of Kazakhstan, slightly to the north, on the border between the predominantly Russian northern region and the predominantly Kazakh southern region. The Ishim River flows around the city, and it enjoys a pleasant climate and a healthy ecological environment throughout the year. It is also a major industrial and agricultural production base and a national railway transportation hub in Kazakhstan.
The Tengrina Hotel in Astana is not far from the airport. Its orange-yellow exterior is exceptionally beautiful. Emily is staying at this hotel. Similarly, the strange woman who took music headphones with her as soon as she got off the plane has also checked into the Tengrina Hotel, and her room is right next to Emily's.
"Uncle Liang, Xiao Long has arrived." In another room of the hotel, one of Uncle Liang's henchmen put down the phone and reported to Uncle Liang.
"Let him come up directly. No one is allowed to leave the hotel before boarding the plane. We must ensure Miss's safety." After saying this, Uncle Liang stood up. At this moment, there was a knock on the door, two short and one long. Uncle Liang hesitated for a moment, "Why so fast?" But he still gave his follower a look, signaling him to open the door, while Uncle Liang himself sat on the sofa in the room.
"Where is Uncle Liang?" the visitor asked as soon as he entered the room. Uncle Liang, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up and asked, "Xiao Long?" looking at the young Chinese man in his twenties.
“That’s right, you are Uncle Liang. This is Uncle Ai’s keepsake.” After saying that, the young man took out a ring from his pocket and handed it to Uncle Liang.
"Something in the pond?"
"Swimming in the sea!"
"A strong wind is rising?"
"Dragon Dance Across the World!"
He didn't take the ring Xiaolong offered. Uncle Liang uttered a few seemingly unrelated coded phrases, which the man claiming to be Xiaolong easily and effortlessly deciphered.
"Hello! Let me formally introduce myself. I am Liang Zhanjiang, an elder of the Dragon Dance Association. It's my pleasure to have you here." Uncle Liang finished speaking and extended his hand. "Little Dragon! No surname, only given name! The Hidden Dragon Envoy of the Dragon Dance Association. I've trained for seven years around the world. My mission is singular: to shed blood to protect the Dragon Dance Association at any time!" Their hands clasped firmly together. Little Dragon's self-introduction was quite impressive. Clearly, he was a secret weapon cultivated by Dragon King Ai Sihai since childhood.
"You're here with only one mission: to protect Miss and get her back to Florence safely. Alright, your room has been prepared. Go and rest now. The mission of protecting Miss at the airport tomorrow is entrusted to you!" Uncle Liang looked at Xiaolong with sharp eyes and spoke in a very serious tone!
“No problem! I’ll definitely die before Miss dies!” Xiao Long said, turning around and following Uncle Liang’s henchman into another room. Once inside, Xiao Long took off his clothes and began punching. His upper body muscles bulged, covered with prominent scars of varying sizes.
At 11:30 p.m. Astana time, when Emily, Uncle Liang, and the others returned to their room after having a late-night snack, a group of burly-looking guests arrived at the Tengrina Hotel.
After showing their identification, the person looked for something at the front desk. Two minutes later, they found the target they were looking for. Then, the group of seven, their arms bulging, walked into the hotel elevator. At that moment, another slightly drunk man in the same elevator felt a chill.
The seven people are all very distinctive, mainly in terms of height. They are arranged in a stepped manner from tallest to shortest, which looks quite interesting when they stand in the elevator.
The ninth floor! It was the floor where Emily and the others were. As soon as they got out of the elevator, the group took out their dirty hands from their pockets and started searching room by room, looking at the room numbers.
"Here!" the tallest man whispered. Then the seven people split into three groups. There were three people standing at the door of the middle room, and two people at the doors of the other two rooms. At the nod of the short man who seemed to be the leader, they almost simultaneously kicked open the doors!
After the three groups kicked open the door, they rushed into the house. What they saw inside was quite unexpected. In the middle room, a woman wearing only a bikini was doing yoga. In the other two rooms, the left room was empty, while the right room was witnessing a live-action sex act involving five or six people!
