Time flew and it was soon 5 pm.
Lisa and Jungkook left the siheyuan after they had dinner.
Jungkook needed to go back to their military base, while Lisa drove back to Century City. Jungkook wanted to drive Lisa home, but Lisa had her own car, so they separated at the door.
Neither of them wanted to leave each other, even though they could meet again in a few days.
"It's impossible to hide your air of a cultivator now, so you must be very careful. Turn to Grandpa Shangguan for help if you encounter a cultivator who's stronger than you," said Lisa.
"I understand." Jungkook felt touched that Lisa cared about him. After all, Lisa kept reminding him to be careful because she cared about him.
After that, they separated. However, when Lisa passed a hotel, she coincidentally saw Gu Anna and saw that two women around 30 years old were pulling her with violence. Gu Anna struggled, but she was too weak before two women.
There were onlookers, but nobody went up to help Gu Anna. Although the security guards of the hotel tried to stop the two women, it wasn't useful.
Gu Anna was Lisa's friend after all, so she had to do something at this moment. Without delay, Lisa drove towards the door of the hotel. Once she got out of the car, she heard unpleasant remarks.
"You're a shameless siren! How dare you seduce my husband?"
"You're a bi*ch!"
The two women were screaming abuse at Gu Anna.
Lisa frowned and didn't believe that Gu Anna would seduce a married man. Although Gu Anna dressed like a sexy woman, she was born in a super-rich family, and there was no need for her to sell her body for money. Lisa didn't know much about Gu Anna, but she was aware that Gu Anna wasn't a bad woman.
"Leave me alone! Are you crazy or something? I didn't seduce your husband, your husband sexually harassed me. He's ugly and disgusting!" Gu Anna was angry.
Other people might not believe her words, but Lisa did. She walked straight to them and pulled the two women away from Gu Anna.
Because Gu Anna was her friend, Lisa secretly pinched the two women when she pulled them away causing them to scream in pain.
"Lili!" Gu Anna was surprised when she saw Lisa. Lisa was her life-saver now! No one was willing to help her and she would be super embarrassed if Lisa didn't stand out.
"Who are you?"
"It's none of your business!"
"Look at her face. They must be the same kind of shameless women!"
The two women turned to attack Lisa with their eyes full of jealousy. In their eyes, all beautiful girls were shameless and would seduce their husbands.
Lisa remained calm and coldly stared at them, but the two women were mad. "What? Don't pretend to be innocent since you choose to be a bi*ch."
"How dare you!" Gu Anna was furious when the two women began to humiliate Lisa. She felt guilty that Lisa suffered because of her. To her astonishment, Lisa moved faster than her and slapped the two women with great force.
The onlookers were all shocked by the scene. Lisa was too violent!
Nevertheless, it was understandable, because the two women were too aggressive and unkind. They negatively judged Lisa just because she was beautiful, which was unreasonable. Besides, Gu Anna said that she didn't seduce the woman's husband, but the women wouldn't let her go.
"Don't humiliate other people as you want in public," said Lisa. She wasn't afraid of the two women at all.
"You..." The two women pointed at Lisa in anger, but didn't dare to fight with her.
"Do you know who I am?" shouted a woman.
"So? I don't care," said Lisa. It wasn't her fault anyway, and she didn't think that the two women were able to hurt her.
Gu Anna pulled her lips. "Ridiculous. Do you know who I am?"
The woman was struck dumb and didn't know what to say. Even though Gu Anna could be more influential than her, she refused to believe it. She believed that Gu Anna had seduced her husband, even though Gu Anna already denied it.
"Who are you?" asked the woman.
"How dare you humiliate me in public before you figure out who I am? Aren't you afraid that you'll offend someone you shouldn't mess with? You're really a stupid woman," said Gu Anna in annoyance.
In fact, even if her husband had a mistress, she should blame her husband for it. She simply didn't dare to argue with her husband, so she turned to attack another woman. Actually, if her husband didn't learn to be loyal to her, she would have endless enemies in her marriage. A disloyal man was the key problem of an unhappy marriage. And the woman tolerated her husband's behavior, which meant that she didn't deserve sympathy.
"You..." The woman was angry, but Gu Anna interrupted her before she could say a complete sentence. "Why don't you call your husband right now and ask him who Gu Anna is?"
The woman's husband had indeed tried to seduce Gu Anna because of her outstanding appearance, but he was scared and gave up the idea once he found out Gu Anna's family background.
Gu Anna wanted the woman to call her husband earlier, but the woman was too crazy to listen to her. If Lisa hadn't helped her, she honestly didn't know what she would do now.
The woman suddenly panicked because it seemed that Gu Anna was indeed more influential than her.
The onlookers were curious about it too.
The next second, the woman called her husband and asked him who Gu Anna was.
"Gu Anna? Why do you ask about her?" The woman's husband was frightened when he heard Gu Anna's name. At the same time, he felt strange that his wife asked about Gu Anna all of a sudden.
"How did you know Gu Anna? What did you do to her?" he asked at once.
"Just tell me who is Gu Anna!" The woman lost patience.
"Do you know the Gu family in the capital? It's a super-rich family and Gu Anna was born in the Gu family," said the woman's husband.
"W-What?" The woman was shocked. It was hard for her to believe it. She turned to look at Gu Anna and couldn't say another word.
Her husband felt that something must be wrong and asked nervously, "Did you offend her?"
The woman remained silent, and her husband was even more anxious. "Say something!"
"I-I-I..." The woman hesitated to tell her husband what she had done.
Seeing her reaction, the onlookers were sure that Gu Anna wasn't someone she could mess with.
After that, Gu Anna grabbed her phone away and the woman stood still in shock.
"Mr. Liu, your wife just humiliated me in public by saying that I'm a siren and tried to seduce you. I feel very embarrassed right now. Shouldn't you do something?" said Gu Anna.
The woman's husband apologized at once. "Miss Gu, I'm terribly sorry. It's all my wife's fault. Please forgive her this time. She won't do it again, I promise!"
Although the woman's husband was quite polite on the phone, he was actually really angry at his wife. If his wife was in front of him at this moment, he would slap her and criticize her without hesitation. However, the woman was his wife after all, and he had to do something to solve this problem in case his business was affected.
"Forgive her? My reputation is already damaged," said Gu Anna.
"Well..." The man didn't know what to say now, because Gu Anna was born in a super-rich family and her reputation mattered a lot. He could only blame his stupid wife for offending someone they shouldn't mess with. However, he totally forgot that he had sexually harassed Gu Anna first. He was a shameless and selfish man.
"I can forgive her, but she must apologize to me 10 times in public," Gu Anna said later. It wasn't serious trouble, and Gu Anna was unwilling to waste time on them. She had more important things to do.
"Of course she should!" said the man. Even if Gu Anna wanted his wife to apologize to her 100 times in public, he would agree. He only hoped that the Gu family wouldn't punish him by damaging his business.
Gu Anna didn't bother to talk with the man any longer, and she gave the phone back to the woman. The woman took the phone with a shaking hand, then heard her husband shouting at her on the phone. "Did you hear what Miss Gu just said?"
"Y-Yes," said the woman.
"Do whatever Miss Gu wants you to do, or I'll divorce you!" The woman's husband threatened her then hung up on her.
Although the woman's husband was slightly afraid of her because of her father's influence, Gu Anna's family was much more powerful than theirs. If Gu Anna was displeased, their family business could be badly affected.
The woman was scared when her husband threatened to divorce her. Without delay, she apologized to Gu Anna right in front of everyone.
"I'm sorry, Miss Gu. It's all my fault. Please forgive me."
"I'm sorry, Miss Gu. It's all my fault. Please forgive me."
"I'm sorry, Miss Gu. It's all my fault. Please forgive me."
"..."
Gu Anna told them to leave when the woman finished apologizing to her 10 times in public.
"Lisa, thank you so much for your help," Gu Anna turned to thank Lisa when the problem was finally solved. She honestly didn't know what she would have done if Lisa hadn't shown up on time.
"My pleasure," said Lisa. "Well, I guess I can go home now."
"Don't leave! Since we met by coincidence today, why don't we hang out together tonight? Minnie and I are going to watch a film," said Gu Anna. She was unwilling to let Lisa go right now.
Actually, Lisa was Gu Anna's idol, and she always wanted to hang out with Lisa if it was possible.
Lisa thought for a while, then agreed. "Fine."
"Wonderful, but you might need to go to see my friends with me for a while. One of my friends just came back from a foreign country today and they're sharing a meal now. I had another appointment this afternoon, so I didn't join them and I came here simply to see them," said Gu Anna. She thought that it would be impolite if she left Lisa alone to wait for her.
"Sure." Lisa didn't care about it.
After that, Lisa followed Gu Anna going upstairs. However, when they were approaching the door of the private room, Lisa heard a male voice from the inside. "Feng Zi, it's easy to get Gu Anna in your bed. You can doctor her drink. Don't worry, we won't say anything about it." The next second, a group of men laughed out loud.
Lisa stopped at once and pulled Gu Anna back to her. Gu Anna was confused, because she had heard nothing.
"You can leave now," said Lisa to the waiter who guided them here.
"Sure." The waiter walked away.
Afterwards, Lisa told Gu Anna to wait for a while in a low voice, then used her Jade Eyes to see what was happening in the private room. Although it sounded like a joke, Lisa took it seriously.
Gu Anna didn't know what Lisa was doing, but she listened to her.
Lisa saw three men and two women in the private room.
After laughing, a handsome man said, "Great, we can go to a bar together later, and I'll leave it to you, but you all must keep it a secret."
"No problem!" said another man.
The others chimed in at once. "We won't say anything about it."
Lisa asked Gu Anna outside, "How's your relationship with them?"
"We went to the same high school, and we were quite close back then. Although we haven't seen each other for years, we keep in touch and we're still friends," said Gu Anna.
"Let's go inside now," said Lisa. She decided to tell Gu Anna what she just heard when they left. She knew Gu Anna's personality, and she was afraid that Gu Anna might lose her temper if she found out what her friends were scheming against her behind her back.
"Sure." Gu Anna was still confused about Lisa's strange question, but didn't ask further about it.
"Come on in!" someone said in the room so Gu Anna opened the door and walked inside.
"Welcome, beautiful Miss Gu. You're late, so you should drink three cups as a punishment," said a man.
"I'm sorry I was occupied by work." Gu Anna apologized to them, and didn't refuse to drink. She could drink a lot, so she didn't care about three little cups of alcohol.
After that, her friends noticed Lisa, and a man said, "Oh, there is another beautiful lady here today!"
When the three men saw Lisa, they were all amazed by her outstanding appearance, while the two women were jealous of her.
Lisa ignored their gazes.
"This is my friend, Gu Lisa." Gu Anna introduced Lisa to her friends.
"Nice to meet you," said Lisa. She actually hated them because of what she just heard outside the room, but didn't show her feelings on her face.
"Nice to meet you too, Miss Lisa!" The three men greeted Lisa with enthusiasm, but the two women remained silent.
"Come here and have a seat!" A man invited Gu Anna and Lisa to have a seat by the table.
Another man handed both Lisa and Gu Anna a cup of drink, but Lisa refused. "Sorry, I don't drink." Lisa was reluctant to drink with them after hearing their conversation earlier. Their target was Gu Anna, but Gu Anna was her friend, so she was mad at them.
Once Lisa refused to drink, the man looked displeased. "Just drink a little. It'll be boring if you don't drink at all."
"Feng Zi, my friend doesn't drink so you shouldn't force her to drink. I can drink with you," said Gu Anna. She thought that she should protect Lisa.
"Anna, it's just a drink. It isn't a big deal," said Gu Anna's female friend A.
"Right, we drink for fun, so don't be a wet blanket!" Her female friend B joined their persuasion.
"Well, I can drink on behalf of my friend, alright?" said Gu Anna. She wasn't dumb, and she could see that her two female friends were aiming to hurt Lisa. Lisa was much prettier than them, and they were simply jealous of Lisa.
"No, you can't. It'll be boring if you drink alone," said Gu Anna's male friend A.
"Fine, I can drink with you." Since they wouldn't give up persuading her to drink, Lisa agreed, but she wouldn't let them do whatever they wanted. "If we want to drink for fun, no one should quit halfway till we're all satisfied. To be honest with you, I may lose control of myself if I'm not satisfied after drinking."
Lisa intended to teach them a lesson. She had magical power to protect herself, so she wouldn't feel uncomfortable no matter how much she drank.
The other people in the room didn't think Lisa was able to drink much, so they thought it was very easy.
"No problem, but this drink is quite strong, so you should be careful," said Gu Anna's male friend B.
"Lili." Gu Anna was a little worried about Lisa.
"Relax, it's fine," Lisa said to comfort Gu Anna.
Since Lisa said that, Gu Anna closed her mouth. She believed that Lisa was a smart girl.
"Miss Lisa, don't get above yourself, or you'll be embarrassed," said Gu Anna's female friend A.
"If you want to challenge me, why don't we have a cup first?" Lisa said.
"I'm in!" The woman accepted Lisa's challenge and drank a cup of alcohol without hesitation.
Lisa also had a cup, then began to drink with other people. In the following minutes, she didn't give them any time to rest and kept on drinking with them diligently.
Gu Anna wanted to stop Lisa, but Lisa wouldn't listen to her. Gu Anna's friends also told her not to interrupt them. They got excited because of Lisa's aggressive and arrogant attitude, and they were determined to defeat Lisa.
Gu Anna had to sit aside and watch them drink.
At the beginning, everyone believed that Lisa would be drunk soon, but Lisa stayed clear-headed the entire time. On the contrary, they started to get drunk.
"Oh, my head is spinning. I can't drink more," said Gu Anna's female friend B. She still wanted to keep a good image in front of the others.
"What? No way! Do you want to quit halfway?" Lisa pretended to be displeased.
"I..." The woman was struck dumb for a second, then summoned up her determination. "Fine, let's drink!"
Afterwards, Lisa and the woman had a cup of alcohol together. They kept on drinking and no one dared to quit halfway.
When Gu Anna found that Lisa was still clear-headed after drinking a lot, she stopped worrying about her.
The two women had tried to withdraw, but Gu Anna and Gu Ning wouldn't allow them to leave. Gu Anna sided with Lisa today, and was also determined to teach them a lesson.
"Miss Lisa, you're really good at drinking, but I think it's enough for today," said Gu Anna's male friend A.
"I told you no one should quit halfway; I'll lose my temper if I'm not satisfied once we start drinking," said Lisa.
"You..." The man was a little mad, but he couldn't blame Lisa for it.
"What? Do you regret challenging Lili now? You can't leave today until Lili is satisfied," said Gu Anna. She had a higher social status than her friends, so they didn't dare to annoy her.
None of them was as important as Gu Anna in this society, but they still dared to scheme against her. They were ambitious.
Feng Zi liked Gu Anna and her family background, so he wanted to have a serious relationship with her. Gu Anna's family could help him and his family a lot, and he could join the high society through Gu Anna. He had considered the bad result if he failed so he hesitated to drug Gu Anna.
"Why don't we go to a bar to continue to drink? This alcohol is too strong," said Feng Zi.
"A bar? We're not going with you, because we have another appointment," said Lisa. She fixed her eyes at Feng Zi. "If you want to compete against me on drinking, strong alcohol is the best choice."
Feng Zi and the others in the room changed their expressions when they heard that Lisa wouldn't go to a bar with them.
"What appointment do you have today? It's our schoolmates reunion and we must enjoy ourselves!" said Feng Zi. He still wanted to conduct his plan.
"You can't do whatever you want. You just forced me to drink with you and I agreed. I told you that I would be dissatisfied if anyone quit halfway, and now you're leaving? Impossible!" said Lisa in annoyance.
Hearing that, they felt embarrassed. They indeed only cared about their own feelings.
"Lili's right. You can't take advantage of her, and she's drinking against all of you by herself," said Gu Anna. She strongly supported Lisa. Even though they were her schoolmates and friends, she knew that Lisa was helping her.
"Anna, we didn't know that Miss Lisa is so excellent at drinking," said Gu Anna's male friend B. If they had known that, they wouldn't have challenged her.
"You didn't know that? Ridiculous. I think you simply want to make me a joke." Lisa argued. She was unwilling to end this game until she was satisfied.
"You..." The man didn't know what to say now.
"Enough!" Gu Anna's female friend A heavily hit the table and stood up in great anger. "Who do you think you are? If you like to drink to death, do it yourself and let us go!"
"Lu Siyan, what's wrong with you?" Gu Anna questioned her.
"I..." Lu Siyan was scared of Gu Anna, so she changed her attitude at once.
Lisa coldly said to Lu Siyan, "You forced me to drink with you first, so you must obey the rules if you've decided to join in the game."
Lu Siyan felt quite stressed when Lisa stared straight at her.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing now. It's not a big deal. Miss Lisa, I'm sorry for what we did, please forgive us this time. I can drink up this cup of alcohol to show my sincerity," said Feng Zi. He believed that Lisa would stop arguing with them.
Lisa was indeed unwilling to argue with them any longer, but only because she disliked them.
Feng Zi added later, "Let's go to a bar now! We can have some beer just for fun, not for competition."
All of a sudden, Lisa walked towards Feng Zi with a mysterious smile, which scared him. He didn't know what Lisa wanted to do.
Even though Lisa was even prettier than Gu Anna, he would still choose Gu Anna for his future. He was really a self-centered man.
"No, and I honestly don't want to waste more time on you." Lisa didn't bother to hide her disdain and dislike towards him. "You better give up your plan before you take action, or you'll be punished. I heard your conversation outside this room earlier, so I refused to drink with you at the beginning."
Hearing that, everyone was shocked.
"What conversation?" Gu Anna was confused. Although she didn't know what they just talked about before she came inside, she had a feeling that it wasn't a good conversation from Lisa's tone.
"Miss Lisa, we were just joking. Don't take it seriously. It's just a misunderstanding." Feng Zi explained at once, in case Gu Anna was mad at him. Even if he couldn't get Gu Anna, he didn't want to lose her either. Gu Anna was a very kind helpful friend after all.
"Joking? Your relationship is really a joke," said Lisa. She knew that it couldn't be a joke and they could take action to hurt Gu Anna sooner or later.
"Alright, it's enough. Anna, we can go now." Lisa returned to her seat without delay.
"Sure." Gu Anna stood up at once; she knew that Lisa would explain it to her later.
"Anna, wait!" Feng Zi immediately stopped Gu Anna.
Lisa stood aside and watched them in silence.
"What?" Gu Anna asked Feng Zi with a cold expression.
"Well, I..." Feng Zi wanted to defend himself, but didn't know what to say.
"We're going to watch a film now, and it's about to begin. If you have nothing serious to talk about, please let us leave," said Gu Anna.
"I-I was just joking with them, and Miss Lisa overheard it. I'm afraid that you'll misunderstand me, so..." said Feng Zi. He had to deny it.
"Since it's a joke, I won't misunderstand you," said Gu Anna. She trusted Lisa and believed that Lisa wouldn't hurt her.
"I..." Feng Zi panicked.
"Now, if you'll excuse me," said Gu Anna and walked away with Lisa. Feng Zi didn't stop them this time, because he didn't know what to say.
"How did she hear our conversation?" When Gu Anna and Lisa were gone, someone wondered that.
The private room had good insulation, so they couldn't figure out how Lisa was able to hear their conversation. In addition, Gu Anna was with Lisa, but she didn't hear their conversation.
"Probably because she has good hearing."
"Will Gu Anna trust her?"
"Her attitude changed in a second. I think she will trust Gu Lisa," said Feng Zi with hatred towards Lisa. He was really selfish and blamed other people for his own mistakes!
...
Lisa didn't rush to tell Gu Anna the reason on their way outside, because she was afraid that other people might overhear their conversation.
When they walked out of the hotel, Lisa walked straight to her car.
"Lili, are you going to drive?" Gu Anna was surprised.
"Yes," Lisa answered.
"You drank a lot!" said Gu Anna. She was afraid that Lisa might be caught driving under the influence. Although she could handle it even if Lisa was caught, it might affect Lisa's businesses. Lisa was a celebrity after all.
"Let me drive the car," said Gu Anna.
Lisa understood Gu Anna's worries.
"It's fine. Can you smell alcohol from my body?" Lisa smiled. She had already gotten rid of the smell of alcohol with her magical power.
"No way!" Gu Anna rounded her eyes in shock, then ran to smell around Lisa. She indeed failed to smell any alcohol. "Wow, how is it possible? You drank a lot!"
"I have my way to secretly pour out the alcohol. I actually didn't drink a lot," said Lisa.
"Oh, I understand." Gu Anna laughed. She didn't ask how Lisa managed to pour out the alcohol without them noticing it.
After that, Gu Anna got in Lisa's car.
Once they were in the car, Lisa told Gu Anna everything she just heard.
"They indeed sounded to be joking, but I'm not sure whether they were really joking or not. They're your friends, so I think you know them better than me. You can make the judgment yourself," said Lisa.
Gu Anna was furious after knowing what her friends had said about her behind her back. She didn't believe it was just a joke.
"It couldn't be a joke, and even if it was it's gross!"
"Although they're my schoolmates, we're not close. Feng Zi has a good relationship with me, but I'm shocked that he's such a disgusting social climber! Actually, he confessed his love towards me a few years ago, but I rejected him. I thought we were good friends since then, but obviously I'm wrong. Anyway, I don't believe it's just a joke, and I can't accept it at all."
Gu Anna was very serious.
They planned to hurt her today and even wanted to take action. If she hadn't met Lisa today or hadn't had an appointment with Minnie, she could have fallen into their trap. Gu Anna felt scared in retrospect.
"Lili, thank you so much for today," Gu Anna thanked Lisa with sincerity.
"Well, I'm afraid what I've done will hurt your relationship with them, and I'm not sure whether it's a good thing," said Lisa. She knew that Gu Anna's relationship with her schoolmates would end afterwards.
"I don't care about them, and I don't lack friends," said Gu Anna. She was quite disappointed at Feng Zi.
"Oh, Minnie is already in the movie theater now with the tickets." Gu Anna received a message from Minnie on WeChat.
"Great, we'll be there in 10 minutes," said Lisa.
About 10 minutes later, Gu Anna and Lisa arrived at the movie theater, and the film would start in half an hour.
"Lili!" Minnie was excited once she saw Lisa.
"Hey, how about me? Didn't you see me?" Gu Anna complained.
"We see each other often, and I've seen enough of you. It's hard for me to see Lili," said Minnie.
"Really? Fine, don't ask me out to watch a film or dine together again!" Gu Anna pouted. "Oh, Lili came here with me, so we'll go watch our film now without you." Saying that, she went to pull Lisa's arm.
Minnie changed her attitude at once and stopped Gu Anna. "Come on, don't be mad at me. I'm just joking. You're my best friend forever, and you know that I can't live without you."
"Eww, that's cheesy," said Gu Anna with a smile.
"Give me a hug." Minnie threw herself to Gu Anna.
"Alright, alright." Gu Anna gave in.
Although Gu Anna was very outgoing and liked joking, she disliked Minnie's lovey-dovey behavior because she didn't want other people to think that she was a lesbian.
Minnie knew that very clearly, so she always used that trick to force Gu Anna to give in.
"Ha-ha, ha-ha." Minnie proudly laughed.
The three of them were great beauties. Lisa was like a pure angel, Minnie was an elegant lady, while Gu Anna was a sexy woman, so they attracted a lot of attention from passers-by. They were very used to being the focus of people's attention, so they didn't feel uneasy at all.
Two good-looking men tried to strike up a conversation with them, but they rejected them. However, they felt that the two men looked a little strange. Normally women came to watch a film together, but it was rare to see men do that. It was like women going to the ladies' room and shopping together, but men didn't.
When the film was about to begin, they went inside.
It was a romantic film, and wasn't very special. They watched it simply to kill time, because there weren't any popular films these days.
When the film was over, it was already 11 pm.
"Do you want to have night snacks before we go home?" asked Minnie.
"You can make the decision," said Lisa.
"Let's go have some! I'm a little hungry," said Gu Anna.
After that, they went to have night snacks.
Because the night snack street wasn't far away, they directly walked there, and went to have seafood. It was 12 am when they finished having night snacks.
Gu Anna was going to sleep in Minnie's apartment tonight, so Gu Anna left with Minnie and Lisa drove back to Century City alone.
On her way back to Century City, Gu Ning called Jungkook. Jungkook gave Lisa a call when they were watching the film, so she sent him a message. Jungkook then told Lisa to call him back when she was home.
Although it was very late, Jungkook stayed up for Lisa's call. They had only been apart for half a day, but he was already missing her. He badly wanted to hear her voice and talk with her. However, Jungkook knew that Lisa was driving, so he didn't talk with her for long.
Lisa went to bed after she got home.
It was rainy the next day, so she didn't go running in the morning. She called Hyuna and told her not to prepare breakfast because they would be eating outside.
Hyuna went to work together with Lisa.
Lisa read a book again this morning, because she had nothing important to deal with.
At noon, Lisa called Shangguan Yang and asked him whether he was comfortable living in the siheyuan. Jungkook gave Stone a bank card to provide Shangguan Yang with whatever he wanted, but Lisa thought that she still needed to care about him.
Stone and Shangguan Yang weren't very familiar with each other yet, so Lisa was worried that Shangguan Yang might hesitate to ask for what he wanted.
Because Jungkook was absent, Lisa should take good care of Shangguan Yang. Luckily, Shangguan Yang had great adaptability, and he enjoyed his life now.
Lisa then told Shangguan Yang that she would go to visit him that afternoon, but she felt a little sad after having the call with him. She planned to ask Shangguan Yang the question she always wanted to ask him, and she was afraid that she might hear a negative answer.
When it was 5 pm, Lisa left her company. She drove to the siheyuan by herself, and it was about 6 pm when she arrived. Lao Zhang had already prepared dinner for them and Shangguan Yang was waiting for her.
Shangguan Yang didn't feel bored being alone, but he was still very happy to see Lisa.
Lisa was soon full, but Shangguan Yang was still pouring food into his mouth like he had been hungry for years. Normally, Shangguan Yang ate as much as five or six adults.
Lao Zhang and Stone dined in the siheyuan as well, but they quickly finished their dinner in the kitchen. Shangguan Yang was in a higher position than them after all, so they never dined together at the same table.
Jungkook gave them great treatment, and they could eat whatever they wanted, they only needed to serve Shangguan Yang to the best of their ability.
After dinner, Shangguan Yang told Lisa to show him the two new sets of kung fu skills he taught her yesterday. He wanted to see whether Lisa was able to remember them clearly after a day. To his surprise, Lisa already bore them in her mind. She indeed had a photographic memory!
Actually, Lisa only remembered the moves, she still needed more time and practice to master the skills.
In the following hour, Shangguan Yang taught Lisa how to control her strength and speed. Lisa was very smart and a quick learner.
"Very good!" Shangguan Yang was satisfied with her performance.
After practicing for a while, they stopped to have a rest.
"Grandpa Shangguan, can I ask you about something?" said Lisa all of a sudden.
"Sure." Shangguan Yang smiled.
"Can a mortal become a cultivator?" asked Lisa with a serious expression.
Hearing that, Shangguan Yang fixed his eyes at her. "Why do you ask that question? Do you want to be a cultivator?" In fact, Shangguan Yang already had the answer in his heart, but he still wanted to hear it from Lisa's mouth.
"Yes, I want to become a cultivator for Jungkook. I don't want to die before him and leave him alone in this world," said Lisa.
"You want to become a cultivator for him?" asked Shangguan Yang.
"Yes." Lisa nodded with determination.
Shangguan Yang remained silent for a while, then said, "Well, he asked me the same question."
"What? Jungkook asked you the same question?" Lisa was surprised. The next second, she realized that the answer must be negative, or Jungkook would have talked with her about it.
"Right," Shangguan Yang said. "A mortal can become a cultivator, but it's very dangerous, and most mortals will die in the process. All the people in the cultivation world were born with the talent for becoming a good cultivator. Mortals, however, don't have the talent."
Lisa figured out that Jungkook didn't want her to risk her life for him. She could also die during the process.
Her life was totally different now, because she had a loving family and found the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. She couldn't die.
She couldn't leave them behind. What if something terrible really happened to her? They would be heart-broken. Although Lisa was very strong and confident, anything could happen in the process.
Shangguan Yang didn't interrupt Lisa when she was lost in thought. He was an outsider after all, and it was a matter of life.
At this time, Lisa's phone rang and pulled her mind back. She took out her phone and saw that the caller was Hyuna.
"Boss, Hyojong found Tang Bingsen's illegal support, and its base is in City C. What should we do now?" asked Hyuna.
"Prepare yourself. We're going to City C. I'll tell you the exact time after I make the decision," said Lisa with a serious expression.
Since they found Tang Bingsen's illegal support, they had to remove it as soon as possible.
"No problem," said Hyuna.
Lisa checked the available plane tickets and made sure of the departure time before she called Hyuna back. She told Hyuna to take the flight which would leave at 9:20 am, and she would book a ticket on her own.
Because Lisa was going to disguise herself as "Tang Lalisa" and Hyuna didn't have her ID information, Lisa had to do that by herself. In addition, she didn't want Hyuna to have anything to do with "Tang Lalisa". The thing they were going to deal with would be under investigation, so they had to be careful.
Lisa also reminded Hyuna not to contact her till they were in City C.
Hyuna obeyed her orders.
Lisa then walked back to Shangguan Yang and said, "Grandpa Shangguan, I need to leave the capital city today, you can tell Stone to help you do whatever you want. Please don't tell Jungkook that I just asked you the same question, alright?"
She was worried that Jungkook might be unhappy. It was hard for her to make the decision to accept the challenge to become a cultivator now, and she needed more time to consider it.
Even though she would go through the tough process sooner or later in the future, she had to be fully-prepared. Accidents could happen, so she must be aware of it.
She knew it was selfish because those who cared about her might be heart-broken if anything terrible happened to her because of her choice. However, she was reluctant to die before Jungkook. She wanted to try it and hoped that she could survive.
"Sure." Shangguan Yang agreed.
After that, Lisa went to the airport. Hyuna took a taxi from Century City to the airport too.
On the way, Lisa called Hyojong.
Hyojong said, "Boss, the gang is called the Tianying Gang. Although it isn't comparable to the Qing Gang, it's very influential in City C. Its base is a winery and it also owns a bar and a hotel. Many members of the Tianying Gang work in a wine bar at night."
"Great, we must catch its head first. As long as its head is in our hands, the other members won't be a threat," said Lisa. "Pay more attention to its leader and the senior management."
"Sure, I have some information about them. I'll email it to you right now," said Hyojong.
Members of an illegal gang were always mysterious, and they had different identities to cover their work, so it wasn't easy to have detailed information about the leader and the senior management of an illegal gang. Hyojong had already done his best and he only had a few days.
"Great," said Lisa. She was driving now, so she decided to read it when she was in the airport.
She set off from the city center and arrived at the airport about 50 minutes later.
Once she arrived, she went to the ladies' room and disguised herself as "Tang Lalisa". Afterwards, she went to check in.
Hyuna came 10 minutes later than Lisa. Although they saw each other at the security check, they didn't give one another a second glance.
...
While they were waiting for the flight, Lisa read the email Hyojong sent her. There were photos and identity information in the email.
The head of the Tianying Gang was Huang Haihao. He was in his early forties. Huang Haihao seldom showed up in public, instead he always stayed in the winery, so outsiders only thought that he was the owner of the winery. The winery was named Tanglong Winery.
Two senior managers of the Tianying Gang were also the general managers of Tanglong Bar and Tanglong Hotel.
Hyojong had also collected information about the elites in the Tianying Gang.
Lisa had no plan to use the law to deal with an illegal gang, because she knew it wasn't realistic. The Tianying Gang had great influence in City C, so it was useless even if she reported its illegal activities to the local government. Therefore, Lisa chose to solve this problem with violence.
After reading the email, Lisa sent Hyojong a message and told him to station himself in the winery to see whether Huang Haihao was there.
She wouldn't allow Hyojong to take action by himself, because they needed to work as a team. In addition, Hyojong needed to damage all the surveillance cameras he could find. Hyojong was an ace killer, so it was very easy for him to do that.
Lisa then sent Hyuna a message and told her where they were heading to. They would separately take a taxi there.
Tanglong Winery was located in a suburb, but it didn't mean it was remote and didn't have activity. It was only much quieter than the city center.
Lisa and Hyuna would meet at the nearby hotel.
...
Because she still had some time, Lisa called Jiah and greeted her family. She also chatted with her friends in the WeChat group for a while before she boarded.
This was the longest time she had chatted with them.
Lisa was actually inclined to take on the adventure of becoming a cultivator, and many of her thoughts were changed now. She started to cherish her family and friends more than ever. Although she hoped that she could survive the adventure, she had to be mentally-prepared for the worst result.
...
The capital wasn't near City C, so the flight lasted for nearly two hours.
Lisa and Hyuna arrived at the airport at 11:30 am. Once they stepped out of the plane, they left the airport, and Lisa directly took a taxi to the hotel near the winery.
Hyuna, on the other hand, went to change her clothes first before she went to meet Lisa at the hotel. She had to keep their relationship a secret.
About half an hour later, Lisa arrived outside the hotel, and Hyuna came 10 minutes later. After they met each other, they walked to Tanglong Winery together.
Tanglong Winery was very large, and was divided into three areas. A villa area, an office area, and a farm area.
The villa area was on the left, covering an area of more than two thousand square meters with a garden of more than a thousand square meters and a large villa of about a thousand square meters. The construction of the villa was like a European castle and it only had three stories.
The villa area was surrounded by a two-meter-high fence. Along the edge of the fence, there was a circle of firmiana simplex [1. Commonly known as the Chinese parasol tree.] with lush branches and leaves. From the outside, no one could see anything on the inside.
There was only a wall between the villa area and the office area. The office area was much larger than the villa area because it was integrated with the factory.
The farm area behind the villa area and office area was even bigger. It covered an area of tens of thousands of square meters, planted with grapes, blueberries, strawberries and other fruits, which are used for wine-making.
It was impossible for the winery to grow enough fruits on this tens of thousands of square meters farm to make wine, so they had a separate orchard in another place.
Although the Tianying Gang used this winery as a cover, they were also doing serious business. There were hundreds of people in their gang after all. They needed to make a lot of money to support the whole gang.
...
Because trees around the fence were lush, the surveillance cameras around weren't very clear, and many of them were blocked by leaves. Moreover, Hyojong also had removed the surveillance cameras by the wall, so it would be more convenient for them to take action later.
When Hyojong heard that Lisa and Hyuna were coming, he went to wait for them by the wall.
Hyojong said to Lisa once they gathered together, "Boss, the surveillance cameras by this wall have all been removed, but the surveillance cameras outside the villa are too far. Huang Haihao is in the winery. I saw him coming back about an hour ago, but I don't know his specific location."
"Great, I need to think about our plan next," said Lisa.
Since this was an illegal gang's base, this villa couldn't be simple. In fact, there were shifts of security guards walking around the villa with guns.
It wasn't easy for ordinary people to break into the house. However, Lisa didn't think it was a problem. Besides, the windows around the villa were bullet-proof glasses, so they couldn't break them with a gun.
Huang Haihao's room was on the third floor in the middle, and the window faced the backyard. Luckily, the window wasn't closed, so it wouldn't be difficult for Lisa to get into his room. If it was possible, Lisa wanted to abduct Huang Haihao without making any sounds.
Lisa used her Jade Eyes to see the villa, then she saw a spacious underground room.
Many illegal items like guns were stored there.
It wasn't surprising that an illegal gang had different guns.
