CHAPTER XXVII
On a winter night, Li Zhien lay in his hotel room, resting quietly.
She still has a camera at hand, and Park Jinghyun asks her to see if she can shoot some more and use it as IU TV.
Lee Ji-eun, who just wanted to rest at all, didn't have the idea of starting the camera at all, just let it lie silently on the side.
"Ding Dong"
The doorbell rang suddenly, and Li Zhien, who was lying on the bed and was tired, was stunned, and then got up from the bed thinking about it.
At this point in time, no one should come to me, even if the members of the team have something, they can call directly first, which is more convenient and faster.
When I came to the door, I looked through the cat's eye, and an unexpected figure appeared outside the door.
Li Zhien hurriedly opened the door, and then looked at Lu Li at the door.
"What's wrong?"
Li Zhien looked at Lu Li and said in a soft voice, sounding a little less tired.
And she looked at Lu Li with obvious expectations.
"I'd like to discuss something with you."
Lu Li looked at Li Zhien and said with a calm face.
"What's the matter?"
Li Zhien immediately asked.
Lu Li looked at Li Zhien and spoke.
"Our contract ends when you return to South Korea, but your flight tomorrow is to Cheongju, so I will have to return to Seoul from Cheongju when I land."
The expression on Li Zhien's face changed slightly, and gradually calmed down, she had already guessed what Lu Li was going to say.
"So, I wonder if we can finish a little earlier so I can go back to Seoul."
Lu Li finished the second half of the sentence calmly, and then waited for Li Zhien's reply.
The girl looked at Lu Li in front of her, faintly displeased, but she still lowered her head and thought for two seconds, and then spoke.
"Okay, are you going back to Korea tonight?"
"What I think is that I'll go back by myself after I'll get you on the plane tomorrow."
Lu Li said flatly, and then he looked down at his phone.
"Of course, if you're willing to finish tonight, then I'll be able to catch the plane back now."
Li Zhien looked at Lu Li, paused for two seconds, and then nodded.
"Okay, then you can go back tonight, don't you still have to take care of your nephew."
"Okay, thanks."
Lu Li nodded in agreement, and then turned around and prepared to leave.
"Hey."
Li Zhien suddenly stopped Lu Li.
"Are you leaving?"
Lu Li stopped and turned his head to look at Li Zhien.
"I don't have much more to say."
"Then I promised to let you go tonight, you have to ...... Give me something in return? ”
Li Zhien looked at Lu Li, held the door frame with one hand, and took a step out of the door.
Lu Li looked at Li Zhien calmly, and after a moment, he turned his head away, looked away, and then said seriously.
"When my next mission is completed, I will be paid enough to live for a while. And my nephew will be an adult next year, and when that time comes, I will return to Huaxia and will not stay in Korea again. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
Li Zhien stared at Lu Li, his pupils fluttered slightly, and he seemed to be a little flustered.
"Are you going to leave Korea all the time?"
"Yes."
Lu Li agreed.
Then he breathed a sigh of relief and continued.
"I've already been approached by someone from your company to explain your recent anomalous behavior."
"Who's talking to you?"
Li Zhien immediately asked.
Lu Li shook his head, and then said quickly.
"Lee Ji-eunxi, I don't have the idea of looking for a girlfriend again for the time being. So, let's end our story here, it's good for both sides. ”
"Mo, do you like you? It's crazy. ”
Li Zhien said in a panic, and at the same time raised his hand to grab something.
The palm of his hand slid a curve down the door panel, and finally grabbed the doorknob, and at the same time the whole person also took two steps back.
Lu Li looked at Li Zhien's erratic eyes, her small actions had betrayed her true thoughts in her heart.
"Well, let's just take it as if I was talking nonsense."
Lu Li finally said a word to Li Zhien, and then turned around and left the aisle.
Li Zhien looked at Lu Li's back and subconsciously took a step, but then froze in place.
However, after a minute, Li Zhien suddenly realized something, his expression became a little angry, and then he closed the door with his back hand and walked towards another room.
………………………………
In the agent's room half a minute later, Park Jingxuan and Jung Han-teok stood at the entrance.
And at their door, Li Zhien was standing there menacingly.
"Who went to find him?"
Park Jingxuan and Jung Han-te looked at each other, and then the former raised his hand.
"I, I found him yesterday."
Lee Ji-eun turned his head to look at Park Jingxuan and asked.
"Oba, what you told you liked him?"
Park Jingxuan spread his hands, and then said helplessly.
"You're too obvious."
"Then you don't need to say it, Oba."
Li Zhien said immediately.
"I'm sorry, my fault."
Park Jingxuan raised his hands and said.
"But I just asked him to refuse your recruitment, and didn't say anything else."
"Recruit?"
Lee confirmed.
"yes."
Park Jingxuan nodded in agreement.
"Even if he agrees to join our company, do you think those people above will agree? Let him be with you? Sooner or later, everyone will be unhappy......"
Li Zhien quickly lowered his head, and then continued to ask.
"And what did he say then?"
Park Jingxuan shrugged.
He said yes and left without saying a word.
Li Zhien thought for a while, and then said softly.
"Forget it, I'm leaving."
After saying that, Li Zhien turned around and left the room.
Looking at the departing Li Zhien, Zheng Hante turned his head and said to Park Jingxuan.
"I said I can't control her."
Park Jingxuan turned his head to look at Zheng Hante and said calmly.
"It's okay, it's just plugged up."
Zheng Hante also shrugged his shoulders, revealing a noncommittal expression.
And Park Jingxuan turned around and said leisurely.
"Have you ever thought about what would happen if Zhien fell in love with a Chinese person, and it was spread out?"
………………………………
Leaving Park Jinghyun's room, Lee Ji-eun walked down the hotel hallway.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of Suosuo talking in the aisle of the stairs on her right.
Subconsciously leaned over, and then Lee Ji-eun heard that it was the voices of Park Geun-woo and Lu Li, and it should be the bodyguard team talking.
Lee Ji-eun stood in place and listened quietly, while the other bodyguards quickly left, leaving only Park Geun-woo and Lu Li still standing in place.
Lu Li and Park Geun-woo spoke in a very casual tone, and they didn't sound as serious as when they talked to themselves.
And they didn't talk for a few words, and then they parted.
But when leaving, Park Geun-woo's tone of voice became serious, repeating that he and Lu Li must be careful.
Li Zhien instinctively felt that something was wrong, but did not step forward, but returned to his room.
After returning to the room, Li Zhien lay on the bed, thinking back to what Lu Li had said to him before, looking a little lost.
But soon, she remembered the conversation between Park Geunwoo and Lu Li that she had just heard.
Greetings and farewells are very ordinary, but why did Park Geunwoo tell Lu Li so seriously to pay attention to safety......
"When my next mission is completed, I will be paid enough to live for a while......"
Li Zhien sat up from the bed, thought carefully, and then stood up and walked quickly to the door of the room.
Coming to Lu Li's room, Li Zhien pressed the doorbell.
Waited for a while, no one responded.
Li Zhien rang the doorbell again, but this time it was only halfway through the ring, and she walked away.
Coming to the door of Park Geun-woo's room, Lee Ji-eun quickly stretched out his hand and pressed the doorbell for the third time.
A moment later, Park Geun-woo opened the door and stood at the entrance, unexpectedly looking at Lee Ji-eun at the door.
"What's wrong, Zhi'en?"
Lee Ji-eun looked at Park Geun-woo with a calm face and asked in a voice that could not hear any fluctuations.
"What about Lu Li, he's gone?"
"Yes, the senior said that he said goodbye to you."
Park Geun-woo nodded inexplicably and spoke.
"And what's his next mission?"
Li Zhien asked after him.
Park Geun-woo shook his head and replied.
"The seniors didn't say it, but this security mission needs to be kept secret."
"I didn't say it."
Lee Ji-eun lowered his head and smiled, then looked at Park Geun-woo.
"I heard what you said when you parted."
Park Geun-woo was a little helpless, thought for two seconds, and then said seriously.
"My seniors only told me that they were going to Africa, and they didn't say a word else."
"Then why do you keep telling him to be safe? Is his next mission dangerous? ”
Lee Ji-eun looked into Park Geun-woo's eyes and asked with the same seriousness.
Park Geun-woo breathed a sigh of relief, and then said lightly.
"If I'm correct, it's dangerous."
Park Geun-woo spread his hands.
"The seniors are the top security guards, and the people who can bring their team to Africa to carry out protection missions must be very important people. But that part of Africa is very chaotic, and there is gunfire everywhere, so I worry about my predecessors. ”
Lee Ji-eun listened to Park Geun-woo's words, and some news about the war in Africa instantly popped up in his mind.
Her expression instantly became frightened, she lowered her head and quickly took out her mobile phone from her pocket, found Lu Li's number, and then decisively dialed it.
………………………………
Outside the hotel, Lu Li was carrying his suitcase and walking towards the airport.
The hotel is only two or three kilometers away from the airport, and he is too lazy to take a taxi or something from this distance, just walk over it, anyway, the port city is now very stable.
It's just that Lu Li just walked out for a short while, and the mobile phone in his pocket vibrate.
He lowered his head, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and looked at the screen, it was Li Zhien's call.
Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief helplessly, thought for two seconds, and then pressed the answer button.
"Li Zhienxi, is there anything going on?"
"Where are you? Got on the plane? ”
Li Zhien asked very quickly, and his words sounded a little flustered.
"No, I didn't go far from the hotel."
Lu Li replied flatly.
"What's the matter, Li Zhienxi, are you going to regret it?"
"Wait for me."
Another sentence came very quickly, and immediately, the phone was hung up.
Lu Li stood in place, looking at his phone suspiciously, and then turned his head to look in the direction of the hotel.
After hesitating, he turned around and stopped.
Within a few minutes, Lu Li saw that Li Zhien ran over from the direction of the hotel, without any disguise on his body, and he could see that it was her from a distance.
Lu Li watched Li Zhien run in front of him, stopped, bent over his knees, took a breath, and then slowly stood up.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Li looked at Li Zhien and said calmly helplessly.
"How much money do you get for going to Africa? I'll give it to you, you don't go. ”
Li Zhien, who had eased up, looked at Lu Li and said very quickly.
Lu Li was puzzled, and then continued to ask.
"Park Geun-woo told you that I was going to Africa?"
Lu Li's new mission, from beginning to end, he only told Park Geunyu that he was going to Africa, and he didn't disclose anything else to anyone.
"Oh, so how much is it?"
Li Zhien didn't hide it, and said directly.
Lu Li turned his head and looked away, then looked at Li Zhien, and said seriously.
"It's not a matter of money, I've promised someone else, and the contract has come into effect."
"Can't you go back? How much does it cost in case of default? ”
Li Zhien asked after him.
Lu Li sighed helplessly, and then said again.
"It's not about money, I've already agreed, I'm going to do it, it's a matter of credibility."
Immediately after, he looked at Li Zhien again and asked.
"Why are you like this all of a sudden? Didn't we make it clear before? ”
"Oh, that's clear."
Li Zhien raised his head, looked at Lu Li, and said loudly.
"I'm right to like you, but even if you reject me, I don't want you to go on this mission."
Lu Li looked at Li Zhien, narrowed his eyes, and then said in a more gentle voice.
"I protect you because you paid for it, that's an obligation I need to perform, you don't need to associate it with your emotions, that's what I'm supposed to do."
"I know."
Li Zhien replied.
Then he lowered his head and said in an aggrieved voice.
"But I still like it, what can I do."
Lu Li sighed again, then raised his right hand, pinched his temple, and then said seriously.
"I'm from Huaxia, you are a Korean star, even if we are known to the public in our current state, it will have a huge impact on your career."
"I don't care, I'm rich enough anyway."
Li Zhien muttered.
Lu Li put down his hand, carded the bride Li Zhien, and then asked thoughtfully.
"Why don't you let me go to Africa, do you know the inside story of my mission?"
"I don't know."
Li Zhien said in a low voice, but then raised his head to look at Lu Li and said loudly.
"But you, the one who goes to protect must be an important person, Africa is so chaotic, you have to stay there for a month......"
"Who told you I was going to be in Africa for a month?"
Lu Li interrupted Li Zhien's words.
"Isn't it in Africa?"
Li Zhien asked unexpectedly.
Lu Li glanced to the side, sorted out his thoughts, and then took two steps closer to Li Zhien, and then said seriously.
"I just went to Africa to pick up the client, and most of the time I spent it in Brussels, the capital of Belgium, which is very safe and the task is not as dangerous as you think."
Li Zhien thought about it in a daze, and Lu Li in front of him continued.
"And you know, I have a nephew to take care of, and I can't take on a dangerous mission until he's completely independent."
Hearing this, Li Zhien suddenly felt that what Lu Li said was very reasonable, and his heart was no longer so nervous.
But then, she still confirmed with Lu Li aggrieved.
"Is it really safe?"
"The security people won't look for me, but at most it's at the level of Indonesia, to deal with the parade."
Lu Li looked at Li Zhien and explained helplessly.
Li Zhien, who had recovered from it, was no longer as nervous as he was just now, but Lu Li looked down at his mobile phone, then turned off the screen, and then looked at Li Zhien and said.
"My plane is going to be late, I have to go."
"Wait a minute."
Li Zhien stretched out his hand and grabbed Lu Li's sleeve.
The latter looked at his pulled sleeves, a little helpless, but still looked at Li Zhien and asked.
"What's wrong again?"
Li Zhien raised his head, looked at Lu Li carefully, and then asked softly.
"Do you have to go back to Huaxia next year?"
Lu Li looked into Li Zhien's eyes, calmly looked at her for two seconds, and then closed his eyes and turned his head to look away.
"Not necessarily."
