Li Jia planned to stay in Tehran for two days, where she would take Xiaoyue to visit several world-famous attractions. Tehran would also be the city where she would spend the most time on her return journey.
It was around 11 a.m. when Li Jia arrived at Tehran's Imam Khomeini Airport. After exiting the airport, Li Jia turned on her phone, looked at a text message she had received, smiled, put the phone back in her pocket, hailed a taxi, and went to a high-end hotel. She then swaggered in and checked in.
They still booked three rooms. Li Jia and Xiao Long's rooms were next to each other, and Xiao Yue's room was directly opposite Li Jia's room. The difference between the three luxury suites and the environment they stayed in in Astana was like heaven and earth.
"Let's rest for a bit today. After lunch, we'll visit the Gulestan Palace. We'll come back tonight refreshed and have a full day to go see several places tomorrow. The most interesting one is the Imam Mosque. We'll see about the others later depending on the time." Li Jia called Xiaoyue and Xiaolong together and explained the schedule.
"Li Jia, why do I feel like we're on vacation?" Xiao Long's words made Xiao Yue nod in agreement.
"Tourism? Have you ever seen a trip fraught with danger? Cheer up, tourism isn't that simple. Or rather, just think of it as a trip full of danger. There won't be another trip like this in the world, haha. Okay, let's go eat first!" Li Jia explained with a smile, looking at Xiao Long and the other person's reactions.
"Forget it, let's just go on a trip. As long as we get to Florence alive within the allotted time, nothing else matters!" Xiaoyue was quite easygoing. After saying that, she took the lead and headed towards the hotel restaurant. Xiaolong and Li Jia exchanged glances, then shook their heads simultaneously and followed Xiaoyue towards the restaurant.
The hotel restaurant was located on the second-floor lobby, which was divided into several dining areas with different styles. Li Jia and her group chose a table near the window. The table was against the wall, and three distinctive chairs were arranged around three sides of it. On the table was a uniquely shaped glass bottle containing a vibrant green plant of some unknown species.
"What would you like to eat?" The waiter came over and handed over the menu.
"One serving of lentil rice, two servings of Persian beef rice, and a pot of green tea," Li Jia ordered without even looking at the menu. As the waiter nodded and prepared to leave, she added, "Extra saffron and lime would be appreciated, thank you."
"Big brother, you seem to know this place very well?" Xiaoyue asked Li Jia with an exaggerated expression.
“Yes, brother, you stayed here for more than three months before. Naturally, you’re more familiar with it. This is a Muslim-populated area, and their food mainly consists of rice and beef or mutton. They pay special attention to the way they cook rice, and there are many unique ingredients that give each dish a different color and flavor. The lentil rice is for you. According to nutritionists, the lentil rice here has a very good nourishing effect on the skin. Remember to eat more later.” Li Jia talked animatedly while looking at the scenery outside the window, while Xiao Yue’s face showed an exaggerated infatuated expression.
Tehran is a city built on a hillside, with the city sloping from north to south. Two wide, straight, tree-lined avenues run through the city from north to south and from east to west.
The south is filled with ancient architecture, and many of its markets still retain the style of ancient Persia. The north, on the other hand, features modern buildings, upscale hotels, various shops, and beautiful flowers and fountains, giving the entire city a fresh and charming appearance.
Overall, there aren't many high-rise buildings; people prefer bungalows with courtyards. They're quiet and comfortable.
Li Jia and his group were currently in northern Tehran. Their hotel was situated on relatively high ground, offering panoramic views of most of the city from their windows. The Gulestan Palace, visible only in a small corner in the distance, was the place Li Jia and his group planned to visit after their meal.
While Li Jia and the others were having lunch, chatting and laughing, two eye-catching women suddenly appeared in the restaurant. They were tall, over 1.8 meters, dressed in fashionable and avant-garde clothes, with long, black, wavy hair cascading down their shoulders.
More importantly, the two women looked almost identical and dressed exactly the same. As soon as the twin beauties entered the restaurant, they immediately attracted the attention of all the men in the restaurant, including Li Jia and Xiao Long.
"How did they end up here?" Xiaolong's eyes turned cold as he saw the two women, and he muttered to himself.
"Do you know those two?" Xiaoyue asked in a low voice immediately upon hearing this.
"Yes, they're two people with extremely special identities in the Falcon Training Camp. They're basically the agents for everyone in the camp, but they're more than just agents. People who know them call them the Rattlesnake Sisters. They're not only beautiful, but also incredibly venomous. Once they've set their sights on someone, very few can escape unscathed." Xiao Long slowly revealed the two women's identities, then turned his attention back to Li Jia, who was still staring at the two women, and couldn't help but whisper a reminder, "Hey, Li Jia, you'd better not provoke them. Their strength is probably on par with my instructor Riley, the most ruthless escapee in the history of the Kiss of Death."
"Is it true? I think their target is most likely the three of us. It's probably impossible for us not to provoke them. Hehe, are you full? If you're full, we're going to visit the Gulestan Palace." Li Jia noticed the two women's gazes inadvertently sweeping over her, and clearly felt a chilling sensation of being stared at by a venomous snake. She withdrew her attention, poured herself a cup of tea, and drank it.
