"Wouldn't 'beating the grass to scare the snake' be a more apt description?" Da Gang's words made Li Jia shake her head. "Beating the grass doesn't necessarily scare out a snake; what might come out is a frog."
After Li Jia finished speaking, Da Gang fell into deep thought. After a while, he nodded and said, "I understand. Is there anything planned before noon?"
"Let's go visit Xiaoyue's school and see how she's doing!" After Li Jia finished speaking, Da Gang stood up and walked out. Li Jia looked at the familiar figure and followed behind with a smile.
At the Michelangelo High School in Florence, the oldest school in the city, Xiaoyue is a first-year student majoring in sculpture. This seems to have little to do with the management of the Dragon Dance Association. Her minor is business administration, which is somewhat related. However, it doesn't matter what she studies. As long as Xiaoyue is happy and healthy, nothing in the world can stump Li Jia.
“Miss’s classroom is over there, but I suggest we wait here for a while. Her teacher has a very eccentric personality. In the words of our ancestors, he is somewhat unpredictable. The thing he dislikes most is being interrupted during class. Although this is abroad, he is an exception.” Da Gang stood in the campus, pointing to the classroom not far ahead, and said slowly.
"Master, what brings you here?" Just then, Angel's voice came from behind the two of them. With Angel was Xiaoyue, as well as four muscular foreign young men.
"Aren't you in class?" Li Jia turned around and saw the group of people approaching. She smiled and asked Xiaoyue.
"Big brother, our teacher is sick today, so we have free time." Xiaoyue's explanation made Li Jia nod. If the two of them had skipped class and run away, Li Jia would probably be very angry.
"Big brother! Why didn't you tell me you were coming to see me? Are you planning to give me a surprise?" Xiaoyue was already hugging Li Jia's arm and shaking it back and forth. Xiaoyue's behavior in front of Li Jia surprised the four foreign boys who had been following her. "The noble Ice Lotus Princess has turned into a cute sunflower, circling around that man non-stop!"
"Master, see those four big oafs? They're all Xiaoyue's staunch supporters. They're Xiaoyue's fans! Let me tell you, Xiaoyue is quite famous at school!" Angel smiled and whispered to Li Jia.
Upon hearing Angel's words, Li Jia exclaimed "Oh?", surprised that her younger sister was such a prominent figure. "Alright, we don't have class this afternoon, and tomorrow is the weekend, let's go home. I haven't had Chinese food for several days, and I really can't get used to the food here!"
Angel's words were agreed upon by Xiaoyue. Xiaoyue turned around and smiled at the four boys who had been following her. "Martin, you guys go ahead with your own things. My older brother is here to take me home!" After saying that, Xiaoyue pulled Li Jia and walked out of the campus, leaving the four handsome boys standing there, stunned. "She...she smiled at us...so beautiful..."
Regardless of the four infatuated men's erratic behavior, Li Jia and her companions had already returned to the Dragon Dance Club's manor by car. Lunch was quite lavish, and the liquor was very strong; Ma Bin actually made Li Jia drink several glasses. The genuine or feigned enthusiasm made Li Jia feel a little warmth.
Late at night, Li Jia went to bed early. The villa had many rooms, but Li Jia chose to stay in one of the newly rebuilt cabins in a corner of the manor. This row of cabins had been blown to ashes by the original First Elder and Second Elder. Now, a row of six brand-new cabins stood there again, and Li Jia was sleeping soundly in the cabin on the far left.
Things usually happen at night. But Li Jia wasn't worried at all. She believed that Ma Bin had already gotten the information he wanted, and that Siston Hammeri would soon come to see Ma Bin again. She was confident that what Ma Bin gave him would pass the other party's test.
Li Jia was absolutely right. Just as he fell asleep, Ma Bin called Da Gang into the meeting hall. "Any clues?"
“It’s true that Li Jia is staying at the Darlier Hotel, but based on the elder’s schedule that day, he probably didn’t have a chance to find out. Because at that time, according to my investigation, he was in his room with a woman, a third-rate starlet. It’s said that someone arranged for her to accompany Li Jia, so it’s basically certain that what happened that day had nothing to do with him.” Da Gang’s answer made Ma Bin frown, but his tightly furrowed brows relaxed once again.
"Da Gang, you did a good job. Go now. From now on, you'll work for me!" The elder waved his hand, and Da Gang nodded and left the council hall.
Ma Bin was currently searching his mind for other answers. Of course, he hadn't just sent Da Gang to investigate this matter. He trusted Du Yu even more, but the results they obtained were essentially the same—the difference between a third-rate star and a first-rate character.
Da Gang's competence was once again demonstrated, and Ma Bin's trust in Da Gang increased once more. It is believed that Da Gang will learn some unimportant information about many things in the future, and then gradually Da Gang will be brought into his core.
"Elder, news has come from Siston Hammeri. They've decided on our deal and have already prepaid fifty percent. They're asking us to contribute something of equal value in return," Du Yu said as he walked in, clearly unaccustomed to the matter being handled so decisively.
"Today is the first day. After midnight, it will be the second day. We still have forty-eight hours to find out who dared to mess with us that night. As for the transaction, delay it! Give him a satisfactory answer within three days!" Ma Bin thought long and hard before making his decision. It seemed that the hotel matter was still a thorn in his side, and he couldn't feel at ease until he found out the truth.
