Pelia is here?
Jiang Cheng was a little surprised. Did she just come to see Alice? Or … thinking of the killers he encountered on the roof just now, he felt that the situation might be a little unusual. Did something happen in the Pallat family? Otherwise, why would these killers who had been silent for a long time suddenly start to act again?
I hope I'm just overthinking, Jiang Cheng thought to himself.
Jiang Cheng looked up at Alice and asked with a smile, "Alice, Pelia, your sister is here. Do you want to come with me to see her?"
"Sister?" Alice was surprised at first, then she shouted with joy, "Brother Jiang Cheng, sister is really here?"
Jiang Cheng smiled and nodded, "Of course, she's downstairs in the Lung Hing Jeet Kune Do Hall."
"Yes, I want to go. Let's go quickly!" Alice walked forward and pulled Jiang Cheng's hand anxiously to the elevator. As she walked, she urged, "Hurry up, hurry up … Sister is always with Dad. She rarely comes to see me. Brother Jiang Cheng, let's go!"
Being dragged into the elevator quickly by Alice, Jiang Cheng sighed in his heart when he saw how excited she was. He hoped that Pelia wouldn't bring any bad news.
About five minutes later, Jiang Cheng and Alice hurried to the Lung Hing Jeet Kune Do Hall. Before they entered, they saw a fiery red motorcycle parked outside the Jeet Kune Dojo. The slender body and cool appearance were obviously expensive. It was also very easy to recognize. There was only one of this kind in the world — Pelia's cool modified bike!
"Brother Jiang Cheng, look! It's really sister's bike ~ ~ "Alice pointed at the motorcycle and said to Jiang Cheng excitedly. After that, she pulled him quickly into the Jeet Kune Dojo.
"Alice, don't worry. Your sister won't suddenly disappear." Jiang Cheng smiled bitterly.
Jiang Cheng and Alice entered the Jeet Kune Dojo and found Pelia waiting at the table in the corner. She was still hot and unrestrained, like a red pepper. She was chatting with Zhuge Liuyun next to her with a bright smile on her face. But if one looked closely, they could see the haze under the smile.
Jiang Cheng was the first to notice this. He had only met Pelia a few times, but it was precisely because he was not familiar with her that he could recognize the difference in her demeanor this time and the last time.
"Sister! ~" Alice ran to Pelia and called out happily. Her face was filled with a joyful smile.
Pelia, who was a little absent-minded at first, finally smiled from the bottom of her heart when she saw Alice. She held Alice's hand and said, "Alice, I finally see you. How are you doing here?"
"Yeah." Alice nodded with a smile and said, "I like Jiang Cheng's place very much, especially the house that we just moved into today."
"That's good!" Pelia smiled sweetly. She moved closer to Alice's ear and whispered something, as if she was asking something.
Alice blushed slightly. She nodded and shook her head from time to time.
Pelia saw her sister like this and whispered something into Alice's ear, as if she was imparting some experience. Alice listened attentively and nodded from time to time. Sometimes she peeked at Jiang Cheng and nodded again. The two women seemed to be discussing some secret plan. They talked for about half an hour before ending the conversation reluctantly.
Jiang Cheng looked at the two of them in bewilderment. He didn't understand what they had whispered to each other, but he felt that Alice's eyes had become sharper after the conversation ended! She was quite aggressive …
Pelia and Alice chatted for a while. After a long time, Pelia patted Alice's hand and said, "Alice, you go away for a while. I want to talk to him alone." As she spoke, she pointed a finger at Jiang Cheng.
"Oh, then sister, we'll talk later …" Alice looked at Pelia and said softly.
Jiang Cheng, who had been waiting for a long time, heard that Pelia wanted to talk to him. He knew that it was time to talk business. He waved to Lin Yu and said, "Lin Yu, bring Alice back to Huaxing Leisure Sports Center. Be careful when you protect her. I've discovered that some people are preparing to harm Alice."
Lin Yu walked up and nodded. She promised, "Okay, I'll definitely protect Alice. Don't worry, Cheng Ge!" With that, she smiled and held Alice's hand as she left.
Jiang Cheng and Pelia watched as Alice left. When he saw Alice disappear outside the door, Jiang Cheng turned his head to look at Pelia. He came to the table opposite her and sat down. He raised his head to look at Pelia. The smile on his face gradually disappeared. He turned serious and asked, "You must have something to say to me. Did something happen in the Pallade Family?"
Pelia's expression changed. She was silent for a long time before she said softly, "How did you know?"
"I guessed," Jiang Cheng replied faintly.
Pelia looked at Jiang Cheng. Her eyes flashed a few times, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she waited quietly for Jiang Cheng's explanation.
"Actually …" Jiang Cheng said slowly, "Not long ago, Alice was assassinated. However, this situation only happened today. Those assassins didn't make a move before. I think there must be a reason why they suddenly became agitated. I was just guessing. But looking at your expression, it seems that I guessed correctly."
Pelia pursed her lips and frowned. She was struggling in her heart. After a long time, she sighed and said, "This is a family secret that can't be told to others. But I'll tell you in secret. You must protect Alice. There's really something wrong with the family!"
After pausing for a moment, Pelia slowly said, "The Pallard family now has three factions. Each of them is very powerful. Not long ago, Dad was preparing to develop a huge project, but …"
As Pelia slowly explained, Jiang Cheng gradually understood the situation. It turns out that there are three factions in the Pallard Family. One of them supports Barter and is Barter's direct force. Although the Pallard Family takes good care of them in the family's activities and projects, this caused the dissatisfaction of the other two factions. Recently, the Pallard Family is facing a very important project. If it is finalized, it will bring great benefits to the Pallard Family. But at this time, the other two factions that have been holding grudges for a long time joined forces to attack Barter! "
Just two days ago, more than a dozen assassins attempted to assassinate Pelia and Barter. The process of the battle was very dangerous and they almost succeeded! Although they successfully repelled them in the end, Barter was still shocked.
Because of this, Barter was even more certain that someone in the family wanted to assassinate him and his two daughters. Therefore, he strengthened the defense. However, this was only a helpless move. As long as they couldn't catch the real culprit, these measures were destined to be just a temporary measure.
"So what? You came to see Alice just to let me protect her? "Jiang Cheng looked at Pelia and faintly asked.
Pelia was silent for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Not only that. Of course, Alice's safety is the most important. You can choose whether you want to do it or not. But if you can do it, the Pallard family and my father, I will give you the corresponding reward!"
"What is it?" Jiang Cheng asked in a deep voice.
"I want you to kill someone!"
"Who?!"
"An English mafia family, the leader of the Charles family – Charles Bordell!" Pelia said slowly.
"Charles family … Charles … England …" Jiang Cheng kept repeating these names in his heart. He felt that this Charles family was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before. He carefully recalled in his mind.
"England … England … Charles … God, Tianxia Hui! That's right! " Jiang Cheng finally remembered where he had seen the name of the Charles family. It was related to the information that Zhuge Liuyun had investigated on Tianxia Hui a long time ago. In the information, it was mentioned that Tianxia Hui had cooperated with a mafia family in England. The name of this mafia family was Charles!
But the family that Tianxia Hui cooperated with was naturally not some ordinary person. If he remembered correctly, this Charles family was the largest mafia family in England! Although they had long become a corporate group and could completely separate themselves from the underworld business, they did not. Instead, after growing to such a degree, they still engaged in smuggling, drug trafficking, and other transactions. It was just that their business was getting bigger and bigger. Take smuggling for example. Small people smuggled cars, mobile phones, and so on, but they were completely different. They smuggled arms, business secrets, and even national secrets. These were all commodities that they used to sell!
As for the Charles family, although they did drug trafficking, they didn't do wholesale or retail. Instead, they focused on the commercial track. There were many places where drugs were produced, such as Vietnam, Myanmar, and even some places in Africa. But in England or other countries, they traded with whoever supplied the drugs in the whole country. What they studied was the channels.
In the report that Zhuge Liuyun had mentioned that the reason why Tianxia Hui could cooperate with this mafia family was mainly because of the channels to sell ancient relics and treasures. They were also studying this. Coincidentally, this mafia family was particularly interested in antiques.
"I can't decide on this request immediately. I need to do some investigation." Jiang Cheng thought for a while and said slowly.
Pelia nodded, "Of course, this condition can't be achieved immediately."
"I want to know, why do you want to kill this person? Why do you want me to do it? "Jiang Cheng looked at Pelia with a burning gaze.
"The reason … I'm sorry, I can't tell you why I proposed this condition to you. Actually, it was my father Barter's idea. He had investigated you and felt that you should have a chance to succeed. We had sent five to six groups of assassins before, but they all … failed." Pelia's voice was a little low.
