Chapter 368 Sunset in the West
Fortunately, Serena didn't run far and got off the bus in Sham Shui Po.
Su Ah-sai threw two HK$100 bills at the driver, opened the car door, and vomited.
The driver said with concern, "Miss, you look unwell. Would you like me to come up with you?"
I didn't realize the driver was so friendly.
Su Axi waved her hand and said, "No need, family scandals should not be aired in public. You should go about your business."
The driver looked regretful and advised, "Miss, remember this: don't be soft-hearted towards scumbags. If necessary, you can use a weapon."
Upon hearing this, Su Axi asked, "Master, you seem quite experienced. Do you have life experience?"
The driver sighed and said, "Ah, I haven't been a big shot for many years. Back in the day, I was a big shot in Hong Kong, with countless underlings around me, and women flocking to me one after another."
Su Axi asked, "And then?"
"Later, well, I won't go into details, it's all tears. Little sister, take care of yourself, I'm leaving." The driver got into the car and sped away.
Su Axi took out her phone and called Li Jian: "Brother Jian, I'm at the Junyi Frozen Meat Market in Sham Shui Po."
"almost there!"
Upon receiving the message, Li Jian immediately started the engine and set off.
Upon arriving at the Jun Yick Frozen Meat Market in Sham Shui Po, Li Jian parked his car on the side of the road.
I looked up.
The area is lined with shops, and billboards are stacked one on top of the other.
Companies like Xiji Braised Food Restaurant, Great Wall Group Ginseng and Seafood, Chuanlong Real Estate, and Chinese Herbal Medicine Shop...
"Brother Jian, over here!"
Su A-xi waved frantically from across the street.
Li Jian walked over.
Su Axi pointed to a staircase entrance and said, "I just saw her go up to the sixth floor. She should live here."
Li Jian patted her cheek and said, "Well done, I'll reward you properly tonight."
After telling Su Axi to go home first, Li Jian went into the building.
Bang bang bang——
There was a knock on Salina's door.
Unfortunately, no one responded.
Li Jian's ears twitched, and he heard the sound of running water coming from the room.
"So she was taking a shower!"
Li Jian couldn't possibly be waiting for her at the door.
He took a thin iron wire from his spatial ring, inserted it into the keyhole, and stirred it.
Fingerprint locks were not popular at that time.
The doors generally have old-fashioned locks that are very easy to pick.
Li Jian once caught a thief and learned lock-picking skills from him, which are now coming in handy.
I fiddled with it for about ten seconds.
With a soft "click," the lock opened.
Li Jian tiptoed into the room and into the living room.
The apartment Salina rented wasn't large, but it looked quite clean.
At the entrance hall, there were only women's shoes.
It's clear that Sharina lives alone and doesn't have a man living with her.
Li Jian locked the door from the inside and went into the living room.
After running all day, Li Jian also felt a bit tired.
He sat on the sofa and started playing Snake.
Half an hour passed.
The bathroom door opened, and Salina, wearing a bathrobe, walked out of the bathroom.
Li Jian looked towards the bathroom.
Salina was holding a towel and drying her wet short hair.
The moment Salina saw Li Jian, she froze, her mouth agape.
"Don't shout!"
Li Jian rushed over and covered Salina's mouth.
Salina struggled violently, and her bathrobe slipped down to her waist.
Salina was wrapped in a white strapless bath towel.
A pair of perfectly sculpted, right-angled shoulders came into Li Jian's view.
With skin as smooth as jade and beautiful eyes, beneath her delicate collarbone lies a well-nutritious leftover dish.
Her beautiful legs were dazzlingly white, smooth and delicate, and under the living room lights, they were extremely alluring.
Standing in front of Salina, a delicate fragrance wafted towards me.
The scent wafted from the outskirts of Salina, lingering around the tip of his nose, making Li Jian want to take a couple of breaths.
Salina struggled a few times, but finding it futile, she simply gave up.
Li Jian said softly, "If you don't shout, I'll let you go. If you agree, blink."
Salina obediently blinked.
Li Jian released his hand.
"what--"
As soon as Li Jian let go, Salina screamed, almost shattering Li Jian's eardrums.
"What are you doing?"
Li Jian covered her mouth speechlessly, "Sure enough, the prettier the woman, the more likely she is to lie. Salina, I'm very disappointed in you."
Salina's beautiful eyes blazed with fury.
If looks could kill, Li Jian would have been blown to bits by her long ago.
Li Jian shrugged and said, "It's no use glaring at me. I'm here to protect you, 24/7. I'll follow you even if you go to the toilet to take a dump."
Hearing his vulgar language, Sharina raised her foot and stomped down hard.
thump—
Li Jian moved his foot away beforehand, and Sharina stepped onto the floor.
"Humph--"
Salina groaned in pain, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Li Jian said, "I think you'd better just listen to me. You can't beat me."
Salina stared intently at him, two glistening little pearls sliding down her smooth cheeks.
Li Jian said helplessly, "I'm not afraid of you yelling, I'm afraid you'll disturb the neighbors. Don't you see what time it is? It's very inconsiderate to keep people from sleeping so late at night."
Salina nodded.
Li Jian released Salina again.
This time.
Salina remained silent.
Li Jian also breathed a sigh of relief: "See, we can still get along amicably."
Salina glanced at him, her face expressionless, and said, "Who wants to be with you? Leave right now, this is my home!"
Li Jian cleared his throat and said, "I'm afraid it can't be as you wish. I still have to protect you."
"No need!"
Salina retied her towel and glared at him warily.
Li Jian said, "You are now a witness for the prosecution. Zhu Tao's men might target you. You are in great danger, you know?"
Salina scoffed, "Zhu Tao is my uncle. He raised me from childhood. If it weren't for him, I would have died long ago. Let me tell you, don't think you can sow discord between me and Zhu Tao just by saying a few words."
"And you are the biggest danger. I don't know how comfortable I would be without you!"
Li Jian said, “You’re wrong about that. When it comes to interests, even the closest relationships can’t withstand the test. Do you know how many of Li Shimin’s brothers he killed?”
And what about Empress Dowager Cixi, Emperor Xianfeng, and Emperor Tongzhi? They were all her own husbands and sons; didn't they still get them killed if they deserved it?
Salina rolled her eyes: "Don't give me that nonsense. I studied abroad since I was a child and I don't know anything about your country's history."
Li Jian asked in surprise, "Aren't you Chinese?"
Serena proudly raised her chin: "I am a British citizen."
Hey!
A nation that is declining and on the verge of collapse is showing off its power in front of Lao Tzu?
Li Jian initially had a good impression of Salina, thinking that the girl was pretty and her conversation was acceptable.
I never expected him to be such a Western-worshipping scumbag!
