In front of the hospital, Li Jia was furious at the scene in front of her car. Several drunkards were urinating next to her car, and one of them was vomiting incessantly in front of it. With a cold expression, Li Jia walked up to the drunkards.
Looking at the filth on the car, Li Jia glanced at the group of people still babbling incoherently, then turned and walked to a trash can by the roadside. She kicked the base of the trash can away, picked up the trash can that had just been cleaned by the sanitation worker, and returned to the front of the car.
He smashed the trash can down on the head of a guy who was still urinating on his car wheel. With a thud, the guy was knocked to the ground by the trash can in Li Fengjia's hand, landing face-first on the concrete next to the wheel. The guy on the ground didn't react at all, and the next moment he started snoring.
Li Jia looked at the drunkard who had fallen asleep on the ground, turned around and picked up the trash can again to continue swinging it. A few seconds later, the five drunkards completely lost consciousness. Half of them were beaten by Li Jia, and the other half were numbed by alcohol.
After dealing with the drunkards, Li Jia drove away and called Hai Mingyue, telling her that she would be a little late and asking her to wait a moment. Li Jia then found a 24-hour car wash and gave the car a thorough cleaning, spraying it with shampoo. The dirt and unpleasant smell on the car instantly disappeared.
The car wash took almost half an hour, and when Li Jia arrived at Zhongzhou Road, someone else unexpectedly came out and caused him some trouble.
Hai Mingyue had just come out of a teahouse called Qingyi Chaxin when, before Li Jia could even open the car door, a very flashy Porsche roared past her Passat and came to a stop in front of her with a beautiful drift and the sharp screech of brakes.
Then a tall man in a sharp suit and gold-rimmed glasses got out of the car. He looked arrogant and disdainfully glanced at the Passat parked to the side, then looked at Li Jia in the car with disdain. He then turned around and immediately put on a smile, staring at Hai Mingyue with a hint of joy and love in his eyes. He picked up a large bouquet of white roses from the car and walked up to Hai Mingyue.
"I'm back!" He then handed the roses to Hai Mingyue and gently kissed the back of her hand.
Li Jia saw a hint of joy flash in Hai Mingyue's eyes, and then she excitedly threw herself into the man's arms. "Why didn't you call me when you came back? How are you? Are you doing well abroad?" The joyful expression in Hai Mingyue's eyes made Li Jia feel a little uncomfortable. After all, it would be hard for anyone to feel good to see the woman they admired throwing herself into someone else's arms right in front of them.
But seeing that Hai Mingyue's happiness was genuine, Li Jia stopped thinking about stealing her love. The most important thing now was to find Li Xiaotong as soon as possible. With that in mind, Li Jia sent Hai Mingyue a text message, then started the car and left Zhongzhou Road. As the car drove along the road, Li Jia felt somewhat lost.
When the car arrived at the gate of No. 9 Middle School in City B, Li Jia had returned to normal. He hadn't expected Hai Mingyue to touch him so much. Along the way, Li Jia quickly adjusted his state and focused all his attention on Li Xiaotong.
After parking his car, Li Jia knocked on the security booth at the school gate. The security guard inside opened the door generously when he saw it was Li Jia and let him in. "Brother Li, you didn't come here so late just to chat with your older brother, did you?"
"Hehe, of course not. I'm here to see someone, Li Xiaotong. She hasn't been home for three days. I think she must be at school, so I have to bother you this late!" Li Jia said with a smile to the security guard who was ten years older than him.
“I know Li Xiaotong! She’s a little over 1.6 meters tall, skinny, and always acts like she’s doing nothing. These past few days, people have been coming to see her every day, but I don’t think they’re good people, so I told them I didn’t know her and didn’t let them in.” The middle-aged security guard finished speaking and took out two high-powered flashlights, handing one to Li Jia. “Let’s go! I’ll go with you to look for her.”
Li Jia was surprised by the security guard's behavior. Normally, a student like Li Xiaotong shouldn't have such good interpersonal relationships. Suppressing her doubts, Li Jia agreed, took the flashlight handed to her by the security guard, and followed him out of the security room.
The middle-aged security guard was in front, carrying a flashlight, searching building by building, starting from the teaching building. Li Feng's eyes were also scanning every corner of the school. After half an hour, they still couldn't find anyone. However, Li Feng did find some places where people might be hiding. He greeted the security guard and the two walked towards the podium on the playground.
"Xiao Tong." Li Jia spotted a figure crouching on the steps to the side of the stage and confirmed the figure's identity after shining her flashlight over it.
"Uncle Cao... Brother Li, why are you here?" Li Xiaotong looked at the two people in front of her and lowered her head in a panic.
"Xiao Tong, what's wrong? I heard from Brother Li that you haven't been home for several days. Is something the matter?" The security guard, who was quite familiar with Li Xiao Tong, went up to help him up and asked with concern.
"Let's go get something to eat first. Brother Li already knows about what happened to you." After saying that, Li Jia picked up Li Xiaotong without further ado and walked towards the school gate.
"Brother Li..." Li Xiaotong lay quietly on Li Jia's back, feeling the sense of security from Li Jia's back. He murmured "Brother Li" and then stopped talking, letting Li Jia carry him out of the school gate.
"Brother Cao, thank you for today. I'll take Xiaotong home and come find you tomorrow night. Let's have a couple of drinks! See you later!" After thanking the security guard, Li Jia put Li Xiaotong in the car, started the car, and drove away from B City No. 9 Middle School. Meanwhile, the security guard, Lao Cao, stared blankly at Li Jia's retreating figure.
Li Jia draped her coat over Li Xiaotong's shoulders, then started the car. The two spent half an hour in quiet contemplation before Li Jia arrived at the Mong Kok Western Restaurant on Donghuan Road and found a quiet corner to sit down.
The main reason for coming here is that the most famous food here is steak. As we all know, beef is one of the most satisfying foods. Li Jia is not here to enjoy the atmosphere, but to make sure that Li Xiaotong can eat her fill and quickly stabilize her emotions in this environment. In this way, Li Jia will have the opportunity to better understand the inner world of Li Xiaotong hidden under her tough exterior.
