After spending a few days with Hai Mingyue, I received a pleasant surprise phone call.
Li Jia clicked on the official website of Golden Shield Security. In the upper left corner of the website, there was a light gold shield that was exactly the same as the light gold shield on the back of the business card that Li Jia was holding!
"Hmm? This is interesting. Could it be that Lina..." This thought suddenly popped into Li Jia's mind. She remembered that the newbie next to her had once said that Lina was with her. Now that the newbie is in City B, does that mean that Lina... is also in City B?
The more Li Jia thought about it, the more unsettled she became. Lina Chris, a top-tier agent in the assassin world, and the legendary agent of the "God of Assassins," was actually Li Jia's woman from long ago. However, she retired from the assassin world shortly after the God of Assassins disappeared and hadn't been seen in public for a long time. Li Jia seemed to sense her presence now. The number on the business card in front of her made Li Jia hesitate for a long time before finally picking up the phone and dialing!
"You're so slow! I've been waiting all morning. Did you receive the gift I sent you? How is it? Aren't you happy?" The voice on the phone made Li Jia shake her head with a wry smile.
"Is Lina with you too?" Li Jia didn't answer the rookie Xiao Diao's question directly, but asked casually, "No, Sister Lina doesn't answer any men's calls, hehe, but you might be an exception, because Sister Lina is planning to invite you to be a guest at the Golden Shield Security Group!"
"Alright, when? I'll go." Mentioning that aloof woman, Lina, brought back too many memories for Li Jia. Now that she knew Lina was in City B, there was no need to avoid her any longer. Li Jia thought bitterly, "She probably found me the day Golden Shield Security Group landed in City B. However, she chose to observe silently. No wonder that for a while, whenever companies or friends I had connections with encountered problems, Golden Shield Security would always be the first to come knocking..."
"Big brother! I miss you so much!" As soon as the call connected, Xiaoyue's voice came from the other end. After a long period of seclusion, she had finally broken free!
"Xiaoyue, you little girl, you've been studying so hard that you've even lost sight of your older brother! Where are you now? Are you coming back?" Li Jia was naturally overjoyed to hear Xiaoyue's voice. This younger sister, whom he hadn't seen for so long, was someone he had been thinking about constantly.
"I'm at Shanghai Airport, just got off the plane. My next stop is City B. Don't forget to pick me up! Sister Angel and Brother Scorpion came with me. They've already registered their marriage!" Xiaoyue dropped a bombshell on the phone. The news of Scorpion and Angel's marriage left Li Jia a little dizzy. These two disciples were so disrespectful to their teacher! They didn't even inform their master about such a big event as their marriage!
"Sister Angel said you don't need to be angry. They just registered their marriage, they didn't go through any formalities. If Brother Scorpion hadn't insisted on getting that red marriage certificate, she wouldn't have cared about any of that. Okay, that's all for now, the plane is about to take off! I have to turn off my phone! Remember to pick me up at the airport! Bye-bye, big brother!" Xiaoyue finished speaking quickly and ended the call, while Li Jia didn't know what to say or think for a moment.
Scorpion is Chinese, so it's perfectly normal for him to insist on getting that red certificate. It's just that Li Jia still hasn't gotten used to it. The illustrious Demon Angel is actually getting married? This sounds a bit unbelievable!
It took Li Jia a long time to recover from the shock. After accepting the fact, Li Jia couldn't help but laugh. She checked the time and left the study. Looking at the mahjong game still going on in the living room, she said, "Xiao Yue will be here soon. Do you want to come with me to pick her up?"
"No! No time!" The answer was unanimous, decisive, and swift.
"Uh, okay then! I'll go pick them up myself! A bunch of lazybones!" Li Jia looked at the busy group of people and shook his head helplessly. These past few years have probably been the happiest time of Li Jia's life. The extra-large family reunion has kept him smiling all day long.
"We'll talk about your issues later! Let's find a hotel first. There are plenty of hotels open during the Spring Festival. It's probably not feasible to have New Year's Eve dinner at home this year; there will be too many people. Let's eat at a hotel." After picking up Xiaoyue, Li Jia smiled at Angel and Scorpion, said this casually, and started the car to leave!
"I knew Master would say that. Let's go. We just got off the plane, so let's take a hot shower and then have some fun!" Angel said to Scorpion, watching the car drive away. The two nodded in agreement, hailed a taxi, and headed towards the most luxurious hotel in the city that was still open.
Li Jia didn't need to find a restaurant herself; with the Green Shirt Hotel's VIP card and the title of honorary consultant, she could easily arrange a luxurious private room.
"Brother, this hotel is a world-class chain hotel. Did you book it six months ago?" Xiaofang asked as soon as she entered the private room. This kind of place was legendary to them. Let alone eating or booking a room here, just walking into the hotel door made them feel a suffocating feeling. That's the effect of a brand.
"Hehe, to be precise, I made a reservation when it opened. Alright, please sit down. The owner of this hotel and I have some connection, which is why I'm here today. Miss Lishan, thank you for your help! Just make the arrangements according to Chinese tradition!" Li Jia looked at Lishan, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, and gave her instructions with a smile.
