Chapter 41
After reporting the situation to Xiji, Qing Li was asked to ask about Lance’s real identity.
Lance hung his face not too willing to say, see Qing Li coldly staring at his own silence, after thinking about it, he still said, “My full name is Lance Kim Viktorovich Ilkovic.”
Qing Li nodded, “I see, the crown prince of the New Russian Technology Group.”
“Look! You see! I knew it, that’s how everyone sees me!” Lance gritted his teeth, “This time I will prove that even without the title of Ilkovic, I can still accomplish something.”
Qing Li looked at this childish to the extreme man, do not want to say one more sentence, “There is another thing, this banquet each participant can bring two bodyguards and minimum weapons, you should also have bodyguards, why do you have to come to Yue’s specifically to hire security?”
“Here you don’t know it, you know this banquet has a nickname called the Bull Banquet, the whole field a woman are not, I if I bring a female bodyguard, or look very beautiful female bodyguard to go, will become the focus of the whole field, to the representatives of the countries left a deep impression, the follow-up bidding negotiations, can also be used as a topic to draw closer to the distance, in short, the benefits of a lot of benefits. ” Lance explained.
Qing Li had to admit, although it is the evil way, but it is a very useful way, now she kind of know why at the beginning of the time Lance will emphasize the need for a good-looking female bodyguard.
After there were no other problems, the two quickly signed the contract, Lance instructed: “The banquet is in three days, that is, the evening of this Friday, so Friday morning you and I will meet directly at the airport, and then go to Jakarta.”
Aonashi gave his phone number to the other man, “Please don’t feel free to contact me without important business until the mission starts on Friday.”
“What a cold beauty, don’t worry, if I contact, it’s bound to be something.”
Qing Li could have left after collecting her share of the contract, but she sat and hesitated for a moment before opening her mouth to ask, “Did you grow up in Russia?”
Being asked a question by the woman he fell in love with at first sight, Lance was naturally happy, “Uh, why?”
“Then do you know about the Yeager family?” Green Pear’s throat slid, her voice a little husky.
“I know, I have a sister-in-law who married there, counting or in-laws, quite close, why?” Lance was curious, “Are you from their family?”
Qing Li was a bit surprised, “Why do you ask?”
“You have Russian blood at a glance, right, this kind of gray eyes, even in Europe is not very common, but the Yeager family has a lot of people with gray irises, it can even be said that it is the symbol of their family, you just happen to ask about it again, so I guessed.”
“Then you …… know if the Yeager family has a man named Valentin Yeager, probably in his early to mid fifties.” Aonashi asked.
“Well …… the name shouldn’t be the full name, like me, Lance King is my first name, Viktorovich because my dad’s name is Viktor, and Ilkovich is our family’s last name, and although the middle patronymic is usually left out, most of the people have it, and this one you’re talking about, Valentin should be his own name, it’s kinda common, if you don’t know the middle name you don’t know his father’s name either, Yeager is another big family not inferior to our Ilkovich family, even more complicated as far as population and kinship is concerned, after all, it’s an ancient noble family now, it’s really hard for me to answer you if you ask me so suddenly.”
“I see.” The expected answer, Qing Li was not very disappointed, after all, even Yue Zhi did not find out too much about the bottom line, not to mention Lance, who looked just as young and not much in tune.
“That …… if you really want to know very much, I return to the country can help you inquire about, after all, and we are also regarded as in-laws, the juniors are also often walk around.” Lance immediately seized this opportunity that he could keep getting close to Qingli later, “Is the number you gave me your private number, can I contact you through that after the mission?”
“Then I’ll trouble you.” Qing Li was completely oblivious to the earnestness in his words, “I’ll pay for the investigation.”
Lance worshiped his hand and didn’t say anything more, because he knew that with a character like Aonashi, the tighter the chase would instead push the person farther away, and that it was necessary to take a gradual approach.
After determining this task, Qing Li went back to the manor, then sent a message to Qing Sudi’s number, [This Saturday, Jakarta, wait for my message for the detailed address].
More than three months ago Qing Sudi sent two photos requesting that the two of them have to meet, she never replied, and in between, Qing Sudi who knew her phone number kept sending messages, all of which were ignored by her, and she couldn’t see them anyway since she was in Colombia.
But after nearly three years, she once again set foot on Indonesian soil, intending to take this opportunity to ask for the rest of the photos in Qing Sudi’s hands.
Qing Sudi quickly replied with the message, [Okay! Sister, I’m really looking forward to it].
Qing Li glanced at it and deleted the message record.
The three days passed quickly, Qing Li packed her luggage on the first night, because the weapon had already contacted Yue’s security branch in Jakarta to prepare it, so she just slung a shoulder canvas bag.
Lance chartered a small plane and sent them to Jakarta before noon, the hotel where they stayed was in the city center, and the “Bull Banquet”
The place where the “Bull Banquet” was held was in a winery in the suburbs, very hidden, but no matter how hidden it is useless, the news will surely leak out, the participants are still thinking about how to increase their own security is more practical.
From the second the plane landed in Jakarta, Qingli entered a state of alert, after all, the winery address may be leaked, the list of participants already detailed information may also be leaked, Lance is likely to have been targeted, especially as a representative of the world-renowned weapons manufacturing company, this identity for any and arms. It was a sensitive position for any gang linked to arms smuggling.
She wouldn’t take a step away from Lance until the mission was over, even in her hotel room.
Someone soon delivered Lance’s customized tuxedo, and he was intent on showing off his body, so he wasn’t shy at all, and like a peacock in full bloom, he quickly stripped down to a pair of black briefs in front of Green Pear and a few of the other male bodyguards, and tightened his core to reveal eight chocolate-like abs.
Being a standard white guy though, his were more like cream or oatmeal chocolate.
Women were all over his body, so Lance looked over at Aonashi with an expectant face and was depressed to find the other man holding a signal detector and going wall to wall checking for cameras and listening devices.
“So what, Aonashi, do you think I look good in this suit?” Lance tried to get Aonashi’s attention.
Qing Li looked up, her calm and waveless eyes were as if she was looking at a plastic model, “I wouldn’t appreciate this, but I think it’s too fancy for a business cocktail party.” Yue Zhi would never dress up so flamboyantly, his clothes were all low-key introverted yet imposing, just sitting there without moving was enough to attract everyone’s attention.
Realizing that she actually unconsciously thought of Yue Zhi during the mission, and even compared the other party to her employer, Qing Li slapped herself twice in her head, focus, what she had to do now was to focus.
Lance just deflated slightly before consoling himself, it’s okay, it’s okay, a lover’s eye is a lover’s eye, Qingli is not feeling him, naturally she won’t think he’s good looking either, it’ll be fine when she slowly cultivates her feelings.
“This is your dress, come over and try it on, although it’s ready-made, I asked the best master to alter it according to your size.” Lance walked over and couldn’t help but measure Aonashi’s waist with his hand, “You’re too skinny.”
The unfamiliar scent touched a familiar place, memories shot out like bullets, stirring up goosebumps on Qingli, she reflexively was about to punch Lance, holding back at the last minute, “Don’t move me.”
The stern aura of that moment stunned Lance, he snapped and skimmed his lips, “Change your clothes.”
Qing Li picked up the box containing the clothes and was about to go to the inner room, Lance bitchily opened his mouth, “Don’t you want to not move an inch, simply change here, shouldn’t this be a normal thing for you guys?”
It’s true that as a mercenary, when the situation is special, it’s normal for men and women to be the same and eat and sleep together, but Qing Li hadn’t had such an experience yet, even if she was slow, she knew that Lance was doing it on purpose, but she just lightly glanced at Lance before lifting her hand to take off the T-shirt on her body, leaving her with only a piece of black underwear.
Just as she reached for her pants, Lance finally conceded defeat, “Stop, stop, stop, you wait! You four get out first!” He first expelled his bodyguards and then got into the inner room himself, “You change.”
Qing Li expectedly gave a cold snort and quickly changed her clothes, because it was a bustier style, there was also a matching chest patch.
After that, a stylist came to their door to briefly style them, Yue’s people delivered the weapons, and they set off.
An hour and a half later, the three cars arrived at the suburban winery, and the banquet was in a villa deep inside the winery.
After going through the first security check at the gate, each attendee could only leave behind two bodyguards, and each bodyguard could only bring a small-caliber pistol and up to ten rounds of ammunition, as well as a saber or some other cold weapon, and then change into the vehicle provided by the venue’s organizer to enter.
After traveling about one point two kilometers, they arrived at a typical Dutch old castle style villa and went through a metal detector door and separate body searches for men and women before officially entering the venue.
“I don’t get it, this is stricter than the security check for the Führer’s visit, and something can still happen?” Lance was puzzled.
Qing Li elegantly held Lance’s arm with one hand, one hand gently resting on the diamond-encrusted fanny pack at her waist, her cool and heroic eyes unmovingly observing the layout and arrangement of the banquet hall.
“The loopholes are huge.” Qing Li said, “Whether there is an intensive post around the winery, whether the air guard is tight, whether there are any underground passages dug out by someone, this is all a question, this security and inspection seems to be tight, but in reality, the deterrent is the attendees, it is not difficult to break through if you have the intention to do so.”
Lance: “Uh ……”
Qing Li looked at him lightly, “Do you even have this consideration as the crown prince of the New Russian Technology Group? Is that why the Russian arms market is shrinking?”
Lance was impotently furious, “In short, you apologize to all the Russian weapons manufacturers! Besides, I studied literature in college, and if I wasn’t poor, I wouldn’t want to get my hands on the family business.”
Aoshi Pear didn’t pay him any mind, still looking at the people who had arrived in the arena and their accompanying bodyguards, planning an escape route in case something went wrong.
“Ari?”
A voice that she hadn’t heard in over three months, unfamiliar yet familiar, came from behind her, and it was as if Ao Ni’s spine froze inch by inch, and she suspected she was hallucinating from thinking about it too much.
“Ah Li.” The voice came again, calm with a hint of disquiet.
Qing Li finally turned around and looked at the familiar face in front of her that she deliberately didn’t want to remember, yet it appeared in front of her all the time, it was still so clear and handsome, warm and moist like jade, her face was expressionless, her complexion was pale, her heart was majestic, her tone was cold, “Mr. Yue, how are you.”
According to the rules, it was necessary to deliberately circumvent the relationship with Yue when on an outside mission.
The corners of Yue Zhi’s lips were a little tight, he lowered his eyes and glanced at the Xiji beside him, and redirected his attention to Qing Li, without sharing a single glance to Lance, “Why are you here?”
Qing Li gave him a slight nod, “Mr. Yue, Mr. Lance and I still have some business to attend to, so I’ll leave first.”
After saying that, she held Lance’s hand with a bit of force, turned around and left without looking back.
