During the meal, Li Jia gleaned information about Jiang Ling's family from her fragmented conversation. It turned out that Jiang Ling's father was Jiang Chuan, a wealthy businessman in the catering industry in City B. Her grandfather, Jiang Beihai, had always disapproved of Jiang Chuan's marriage to her mother, but the two were deeply in love and almost eloped, which finally made the old man compromise.
After the marriage, the old man didn't treat Jiang Chuan well. However, Jiang Chuan was quite capable in business. Gradually, although the two didn't get along in terms of feelings, the old man had great faith in Jiang Chuan's business abilities. Later, Jiang Ling was born. After Jiang Ling was born, the old man immediately fell in love with this granddaughter, and his opinion of Jiang Ling's mother also changed a lot.
It wasn't until Jiang Ling first grabbed the old man's beard that his opinion of Jiang Chuan and Jiang Ling's mother began to change, though the change was limited to him no longer giving her the cold shoulder.
However, for some reason, Jiang Ling was not dependent on Jiang Chuan from birth, but was extremely good to her mother who had raised her. As a result, Jiang Ling'er's family situation eventually became this strange and messy situation.
In summary, Jiang Ling likes her mother but dislikes her father, even somewhat hating him. Her grandfather dotes on Jiang Ling but dislikes her parents, yet he has great faith in Jiang Ling's father, Jiang Chuan's, abilities. The family has such a messy relationship.
After finishing his meal, Li Jia drove Jiang Ling back to the police station and called Cang Lang to arrange a meeting. Li Jia still had a good impression of this cold-faced man who had helped him a lot, and bringing him along would be a good helper on his next trip to M City.
"Mr. Li, when do we depart?" After hearing Li Jia's meaning, Canglang didn't ask why. Instead, he directly asked when they would depart. He had been defeated by Li Feng the first time he met Li Jia, and at that time he had thought about finding an opportunity to compete with Li Jia again. However, later, because of Hong Guang, that thought disappeared completely. On the contrary, he did his best to help Li Jia, because Master Hong had once told him, "He gave me my life." Canglang naturally understood the weight of those words.
"Two days from now. This time, you don't need to bring the ABC trio. You should have some connections in M City, right? I need to investigate something," Li Jia asked calmly, looking at Cang Lang's expressionless face.
“We have a base there, a bar, specifically for gathering information. That should meet Mr. Li’s requirements,” Canglang said after a moment’s thought, looking up.
"Okay, go back and get ready. We're leaving the day after tomorrow." After saying that, Li Jia got up and left the bar. Cang Lang watched Li Jia's departing figure, downed the drink in his glass in one gulp, threw the money on the bar, and got up to follow Li Jia out of the bar.
On the third night, Li Jia, carrying her laptop, flew to M City with Cang Lang. Upon landing, Cang Lang's girlfriend was already waiting for them in her BMW 750. "Take me to the hotel. Tomorrow morning, gather a few capable subordinates for morning tea and a chat," Li Jia said casually to Cang Lang and Han Duo'er.
"Alright! Duo'er, take Mr. Li to Valencia; the environment there is better," Canglang instructed. Han Duo'er readily agreed. The car drove out of the airport exit and headed straight for the Valencia Grand Hotel in the city.
The Valencia Hotel. A top-tier hotel in M City, known as a super five-star platinum hotel, where even a casual room costs several thousand yuan. Upon arrival, Han Duo'er looked at Cang Lang and said, "You certainly know how to save money!" After saying that, she got out of the car and walked into the lobby. She smiled and said something to the receptionist at the front desk, and then handed Li Jia a room key for a rooftop suite with a view.
"This is one of my family's properties," Han Duo'er said softly when she saw Li Jia's slightly questioning expression. Then she pulled Cang Lang out of the lobby, leaving Li Jia standing there with the room key, watching a group of hotel staff bowing and seeing Han Duo'er off.
"Heh, Canglang's woman is really not your average rich person." He muttered to himself with a smile, then took his room key and entered the elevator accompanied by the hotel's room manager.
The room manager was a stunningly beautiful foreign woman. After chatting for a few minutes, I learned that she was of mixed Chinese and Italian descent; her father was Chinese and her mother was Italian. With such a beautiful woman by his side, Li Jia was naturally in a good mood. Soon, we arrived at the top-floor suite with a view. "Mr. Li, this is your room. You are welcome to use everything in the room. The general manager has instructed that you should call me anytime if you have any requests, and I will do my best to accommodate you."
"Hehe, alright then, I have a request now: could you tell me the beautiful lady's name?" Li Jia asked with a smile, staring into the room manager's light blue eyes before opening the door.
“Song Lisha, you can call me Lisha.”
"Hehe, okay, Lisa, see you later."
Lisa, who was waiting for Li Jia to extend an invitation, suddenly found her smile becoming somewhat unnatural. A man who could get a free meal from the general manager must have some ability or a certain status; otherwise, it would be impossible. Any woman would have her own thoughts about such a man, let alone Lisa, who grew up in the romantic country of Italy.
Seeing Lisa's slightly regretful expression, Li Jia smiled and nodded. "I'll treat you to coffee another day." With that, she pushed open the door and went inside. Lisa glanced at the closed door, gave a "whatever" look, and then turned and left.
Li Jia does like beautiful women, but he's not to the point where he wants to sleep with every one he sees. He occasionally flirts with beautiful women to give himself some spice. However, if a beautiful woman were to come to him, then probably not just Li Jia, but any random man would accept her with a smile.
