"Hei Zi, you should just ride your Harley and come to the manor to find me first thing tomorrow morning." Li Jia ignored Ma Bin's surprise, opened the car window, looked at the black Jet standing in front of the car, thought for a moment, and then said.
"Yes, Master!" Hei Zi understood Li Jia's intention. Without saying a word, he turned around, got on his Harley motorcycle, started it, lifted the front wheel, and then crashed to the ground with a roar as he charged off!
Watching Hei Zi's motorcycle speed away from the Hummer, Li Jia turned around and looked at Ma Bin. "Is it strange?" Li Jia's question was naturally about Xiao Long.
"Don't you think it's strange?" Ma Bin wiped the sweat from his forehead, stared at the silent Xiao Long, and asked Li Jia in an annoyed tone.
Li Jia smiled but did not answer Ma Bin's question. Da Gang, who was driving, also known as Xiao Long, had a blank expression in his eyes in the rearview mirror. However, as they chatted, the car sped up and finally returned to Florence and the Dragon Dance Manor before nightfall.
The other elders, who had received prior notice, lined up in the hall, waiting for the return of the First Elder, Ma Bin.
"Elder, you're finally back!" Wang Qiang, the newly appointed elder, was the first to express his gratitude. The other elders followed suit, expressing their concern but making no mention of Ma Bin's actions. Of course, this was all arranged in advance by Li Jia; few others in the Dragon Dance Society knew about Ma Bin's situation. And now, the Dragon Dance Society faced a major problem—the very problem brought about by Ma Bin.
As per the pre-arranged conditions and Li Jia's deliberate arrangements, the Dragon Dance Party was completely silent. It was as if nothing had happened. Apart from Du Yu, who had always been by Ma Bin's side, being missing, even Da Gang, who had been by his side, had returned to Xiao Yue's side.
"You mean!? Xiaolong isn't dead?" Xiaoyue's expression was priceless in front of Li Jia. She sized up Da Gang standing in front of her, then suddenly turned her gaze to Angel, who was standing in the distance, kissing and cuddling with Scorpion. "Sister Angel, this must be your work, right?"
"Uh, the weather outside is nice, let's go. Darling, it's been so long since we've been intimate, let's try it on the roof today!" Angel said, pulling Scorpion away. Xiaoyue was already used to Angel's words. She turned back and stared at Dagang standing in front of her, and finally, her eyes reddened, she threw herself into Dagang's arms.
“Miss…” Xiao Long raised his hand and gently stroked Xiao Yue’s hair. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say. When he was seriously injured and then arranged by Li Jia to go into hiding, Xiao Yue’s sadness made him feel a little sorry for her. But because of the heavy burden he carried, he just watched Xiao Yue grieve for him. Until today, he could finally see the light of day again. How could the word “bored” describe how tedious Xiao Long’s undercover life had been?
"I'm so glad you're alright. Sister Angel was just too much. I'll make her apologize to me when I catch her." It took Xiaoyue a long time to calm down. The feeling of crying tears of joy made Xiaoyue's eyes look a bit like peaches. After whispering a few words to Xiaolong, she turned around and ran back to her room.
"Xiaolong, let's go outside and chat for a bit." Watching Xiaoyue run into her room, even though it was late, she knew Xiaolong, like Li Jia, wasn't sleepy.
"You've had a tough time these past few days. It's not pleasant to be bossed around like that," Li Jia said to Xiao Long calmly.
"It's not important. What's important is that I fulfilled my mission and did what I was supposed to do." Since his injury last time, Xiaolong has become more composed, and his words are always so crisp and direct.
“That’s right, I will keep my promise to you. I’ll introduce you to someone first thing tomorrow morning.” Li Jia said, turning back to look at Xiao Long and smiling.
"Okay! I hope it meets my standards!" Xiaolong said, then turned and left. Li Jia stood alone in the open space in front of the villa, looking at the exceptionally clear starry sky, and took a few deep breaths of fresh air.
The next morning, Li Jia didn't care how the Dragon Dance Society handled the Hanmo Li family's affairs. He would stay in Florence until things were over. Although his three apprentices were there, he still had more confidence in himself.
"Master, what's the matter?" Hei Zi arrived at the manor gate early in the morning, but he still didn't go inside. The matter between Scorpion and Angel couldn't be let go so easily. Although Hei Zi was a womanizer and liked women, there was still a pure land in his heart. The image of Angel remained in that pure land. It's just a pity that although Angel was in his heart, he was not in Angel's heart.
"I'm giving you a task... Understand?" Li Jia whispered a few words in Hei Zi's ear, then quietly confirmed.
"Not kill him? Anything else is fine?" Hei Zi didn't know what Li Jia was up to, but still wanted to confirm. "Yes, not kill him, anything else is fine." Li Jia thought for a moment, then nodded and repeated.
"Okay, I'll get to work on time." After saying that, Hei Zi turned and left, while Xiao Long appeared at the entrance of the hall, staring at Li Jia's back with a blank expression.
Li Jia felt the gaze from behind and turned around to wave at Xiao Long. "Prepare well tonight. Someone will enter the manor and wait for you in front of the cabin. Remember, go all out and kill without mercy!" After Xiao Long came to Li Jia, Li Jia turned around and said each word clearly.
"Okay!" Xiaolong only said one word, then slowly turned back into the villa. Li Jia, on the other hand, left the manor in a good mood and walked aimlessly along the Arno River.
