The dinner was very generous.

In order to welcome her son back, and with the current conditions of the Li family, there is no need to consider the price of ingredients, so Li's mother almost tried her best to have all kinds of dishes, which filled a large table.

This made Li Jie, who has been a staple food of Western cuisine for a long time, feel appetizing and have a unique flavor, and Trist exclaimed again and again, praising Li's mother's amazing cooking skills, which made her smile and smile frequently for this Yanma dishes, which really made Trist feel uncomfortable, and regretted that she was too excited to behave, but she didn't know whether to refuse this Chinese custom.

For Li Jie's various strange performances, the Li family turned a blind eye to them as he always did, but Li's mother kept inquiring about Trist's situation with some gossip, and asked Li Jie about various things in the United States, but he easily resolved them.

Such a lively and cheerful atmosphere, although Tracer is the most uncomfortable, but also found it very interesting. Although she is a personal secretary, she has never tried to eat at her boss's house, and her relationship with Li Jie does not seem to be familiar to that extent.

However, Li Jie, the domineering boss, spoke, of course she couldn't insist. So she can only bear the enthusiasm of Li's father and mother from beginning to end, and the terrible care, as well as all kinds of strange questions that she can't understand at all, and most of them are basically in a state of talking with chickens and ducks.

Fortunately, there is also a Li Xinyi who acts as a translator to reconcile in it, otherwise the conversation would have been impossible to continue.

"Hey, brother. The two parents regarded Sister Trister as their future daughter-in-law. Listen to the questions asked. There are a few siblings in the family, age, education and everything. ”

Li Xinyi was in it and the mud, and from time to time he was smiling and whispering to Li Jie beside him. This somewhat peculiar family atmosphere made Li Jie feel very interesting, and let go of his mood to listen to this titular sister amusement.

There were enough rooms in the mansion, and at the insistence of the enthusiastic father and mother Li, Trist and others also lived in the guest rooms. Of course, in Xu Zhendi's heart, it would be better if Tracest could live in the same room with Li Jie. Although the foreign daughter-in-law in her heart speaks very poorly in Chinese, she has nothing to say about her temperament, appearance, especially her size and figure, she is much better looking than those stars on TV, and she can give birth at a glance, she has begun to look forward to the beautiful days of holding her grandson.

"Zhendi, your attitude just now is too obvious, don't let people ...... Miss Tracey was embarrassed. ”

Li Dacheng walked in front with some hesitation, and complained in a low voice.

"What's obvious, I didn't say anything! I don't think Tracey is embarrassed, she is very generous. I'm telling you. Now mixed-race kids don't know how pretty they are...... You see Xianglan's eldest daughter is in the UK, and she is coming back this time......"

Mother Li's eyes widened, and she poked Li Dacheng's back with her fingertips like hatred that iron is not steel. Immediately let him honestly bow his head and listen to the training.

Listening to Xu Zhendi and Li Dacheng muttering upstairs, babbling about what they thought was secret, Li Jie also felt very interesting, if they knew Trist? Joyce is a woman who only likes the same sex, and she doesn't know how to react.

After casually teasing a few words of Trist, when the female secretary looked angry and almost overreacted, Li Jie let the other party go and returned to his room.

He did not change his clothes and rest, but turned off the overhead light, sat quietly on the dark balcony chair, blowing the evening breeze, and enjoyed the night river view and the prosperity of East Shanghai without saying a word.

After smoking a full cigar, it was late at night.

Li Jie stood up again, changed into an ordinary casual dress in an orderly manner, and then opened the door and walked straight out. As he did all this, the dim ripples of entropy energy continued to rise and fall around him, absorbing all the sounds in the moment they were made, and leaving the mansion like a ghost without alarming anyone.

After taking the elevator to the parking lot on the ground floor, Gus, who had been waiting for a long time, started the car and stopped in front of him.

The doors open.

"Go to the manhole."

Li Jie sat in the back seat and instructed directly.

Shajing, in fact, is just a road name, but in this megacity with a population of more than 10 million, it represents a special area. From a geographical point of view, it is still an urban area. However, from the perspective of social attributes, it is more like a special group outside the city, a superfluous organization in East Shanghai.

There are only low, narrow bungalows and wooden houses densely arranged, without any unified planning, and the environment is dirty, mixed with dragons and snakes, and public order is chaotic. Those who live in it are the poorest people, or the outsiders who have entered Donghu with their dreams, and the people who are burdened with the dark history of the unknown.

For this reason, it is also known as a place where sunlight does not shine.

After all, Li Jie has been abroad for a long time and is beyond the reach of the whip, so there is no special requirement for the expansion of his subordinates in Donghu, and it is enough to be stable and low-key, and to be able to use it at critical moments.

However, even with such a low standard, it is not possible to talk about the smooth development, and it can even be said that it has encountered a lot of obstacles, and some subordinates have disappeared inexplicably. And most of them are related to this chaotic area called Shajing, which made Li Jie, who returned to Donghu, interested in exploring it for himself.

The sedan stopped steadily at the corner of the street, and under the dim street lamps, there were high-rise buildings one after another, and not far in front of it were full of dilapidated and low-rise buildings, forming a stark contrast.

"My lord, shall I go in with you?"

Gus opened the door and asked respectfully.

"No, no, I want to walk alone, you wait for me here."

Li Jie's eyes narrowed slightly, looked out of the car, waved his hand at Gus casually, and then got out of the car and walked forward.

With each step, his face and figure changed slightly, with his eye sockets gradually sinking, the bridge of his nose raised, his lips darkening, and his shoulders thickening...... These subtle adjustments, which were originally imperceptible to each other, worked together, and soon produced a magical qualitative change, and before he knew it, Li Jie was far from his original appearance.

However, the street is just a few tens of meters long, but it seems to separate his eyes and back into two worlds, everyone who passes by here is brightly dressed, and his steps are hurried and dare not stop, as if he is afraid of some bad luck, and even his eyes seem to be uncertain.

Only Li Jie didn't notice anything unusual, as if he was strolling leisurely, and walked to the narrow alley around the corner without hesitation.

Above his head, the old blue street sign was stained and torn, but the handwriting was still roughly legible, with three large characters printed on it in white lettering:

"Shajing Road". (To be continued......)
