…
Before they dispersed, most of the people from the Blue Army had already left, leaving only a blond middle-aged man and several of his subordinates, who were sitting at the next table with Irina.
After Shen Ye and his companions left, Ritsuka also got up soon after. However, she had no other ideas. She just wanted to find a hotel to rest.
"Ms. Ritsuka, please wait a moment."
Seeing Ritsuka stand up, the middle-aged man followed with his men.
"Is there something wrong?" Ritsuka looked at him expressionlessly and asked coldly.
The middle-aged man didn't care about her tone at all. He smiled and said, "It's like this. I have arranged a place for you to stay. If you like, I will send someone to take you there. Oh, don't rush to refuse, Miss Ritsuka. You should know that Roanapur is not a tourist city. The most luxurious hotels may not be as comfortable as those for ordinary people. Moreover, it is very chaotic here. Most of the guests in the hotel are gangsters, prostitutes and drug addicts. I think you don't want to stay too close to them, right?"
After listening to the middle-aged man's words, Ritsuka thought for a while and nodded silently: "No."
"So, I have arranged a luxurious rental house for you. It has hot water, bathtub, air conditioning, and clean beds. Most importantly, no one will disturb you. What do you think?" the middle-aged man asked again.
"Okay." Ritsuka nodded, then asked, "What do you want to get from me by doing this?"
"It's nothing. I just hope you can say something good for me in the alliance in the future. You know I just joined not long ago." The middle-aged man said humbly.
Ritsuka looked at him coldly for a long time before nodding and saying, "I understand."
After saying that, she got into the car that was prepared for her.
Watching the car go away, the middle-aged man's face suddenly changed, and he cursed inwardly: "Damn it, if it weren't for your arms dealer father who has a say in the alliance, I wouldn't be so servile to you."
After cursing a few more times, the middle-aged man also left with his men...
…
Inside the rental house.
After taking a shower, Shen Ye lay directly on the bed, but he did not close his eyes to sleep. On the one hand, Roberta was still taking a shower, and on the other hand, he suddenly felt a little uneasy, as if something might happen in the next few days.
After calming his pounding heart, Shen Ye sat up cross-legged on the bed. He sat there blankly for a while, and suddenly said to himself, "It shouldn't be a bad thing. I've always had good luck."
At this time, Roberta, who had just finished taking a shower and was wrapped in a bath towel, walked into the bedroom. Seeing Shen Ye sitting cross-legged on the bed, lowering his head in deep thought, she asked in confusion, "Shen, what's wrong?"
Shen Ye raised his head, pointed at his heart, and said in distress: "I don't know why, but I suddenly feel uneasy."
"Is it because of Soi?" Roberta sat down on the bed, raised his hand and placed it on his chest, rubbing it gently.
Shen Ye shook his head: "It's not her."
"You must have drunk too much." Roberta smiled slightly: "Drinking speeds up your blood circulation, which speeds up your heartbeat."
"Maybe." Shen Ye sighed, but he knew that was not the reason.
"Okay, no matter what the reason is, no matter what happens, I will help you solve it." Roberta bit her lip, then untied the bath towel on her body and hugged Shen Ye.
"Now, let's go to bed."
…
Meanwhile, it was already morning in the US.
Jill was packing her luggage in advance while talking on the phone.
"Chris, I'm going to take a few days off to go to Roanapur in Southeast Asia."
"Why go there?" Chris's surprised voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Choi Ji Yoon said she saw Shen there. I have to go find him."
"Shen? Why is that guy there?"
"How should I know? Choi Ji Yoon told me anyway."
"Okay, but I still want to say something, that guy has been gone for so long, can't you wait for him to come find you?" Chris suddenly said indignantly.
"Maybe he doesn't know where I am now. You know, we are a special organization and our identity is confidential." Jill immediately found a reason to free Shen Ye.
Chris: "…"
After a long silence, Chris spoke again: "Okay, maybe what you said makes sense, but the leave approval requires an application signature in advance. I am still in Europe, so it will take a few days..."
Jill interrupted him immediately: "I have already bought a ticket for tomorrow night."
Chris: "…"
After another silence, Chris said quietly, "Since you are ready, what else can I say? I can only wish you a pleasant journey. Please sign the leave note when you come back."
"Thanks, Chris," Jill said gratefully.
"You're welcome." Chris said with a wry smile.
After hanging up the phone, Jill breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the backpack that was already filled with clothes and daily necessities, and thought, next, all she has to do is wait until tomorrow.
But, she thought again, I have to wait another day, which is really hard to bear!
…
Time came to the next day.
Jill arrived at the airport early in the morning and after waiting for a whole day, at seven o'clock in the evening, she was finally ready to board the plane.
Before boarding the plane, she also called Choi Ji Yoon.
When she called, it was just dawn in Roanapur. Choi Ji Yoon, who was woken up by the phone call, experienced the pain that Jill had experienced the day before.
After groping around the bed for a long time, she finally found the phone. After answering the call, she said unhappily, "Jill, you must be taking revenge on me, right?"
"No way, I just asked you to get up and pee. Holding in stool for a long time is not good for your health." Because they were about to board the plane, Jill was in a very good mood at the moment and even made a vulgar joke.
Sure enough, Choi Ji Yoon said with a look of disgust: "Jill, you are so disgusting. I will remember this. When you meet the person you like, I will tell him."
Jill groaned and quickly said, "Just kidding, just kidding. How about this, Ms. Choi Ji Yoon, when I get over there, I'll treat you to a good meal. You can choose any seat you want. How about that?"
"What else can I say? It's just a joke." Choi Ji Yoon stopped when she saw that things were going well. Then, as if she remembered something, she said, "No need for a big meal. There's nothing good to eat in Roanapur. But speaking of which, your man has been drinking at a place called the Yellow Flag Bar every day these past few days. You can just take me with you when the time comes."
"No problem." Jill agreed.
As they were about to board the plane, she chatted with Choi Ji Yoon for a while and then hung up the phone.
"Shen, I'm here to see you."
Jill said silently the moment the plane took off.
