Chapter 228 Departure, the Lucia Sisters
After warning the gang, Li Yuan hung up the phone.
Then he dialed the airport manager's number and inquired:
"I need to go to Las Vegas. Are there any direct flights?"
"have!"
The airport manager quickly responded.
He then glanced at the time and said with a smile:
"There's exactly half an hour before boarding."
"That's good. Could you please buy me a ticket? I'll be right there."
"No trouble at all, sir, you're too kind."
Li Yuan hung up the phone, got out of bed, and
He muttered somewhat helplessly:
"They really can't let people get a peaceful night's sleep."
As he walked towards the hotel exit, he took out his phone.
I'm about to call Jamie.
Before I could even dial the number, the other party called me first.
"Your Excellency! I can't get in touch with Edward!"
Jamie sounded very anxious on the other end of the phone, his breathing somewhat disordered.
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan gently comforted Jamie:
"He's fine, don't worry. I'll be in Las Vegas tomorrow morning."
"But...but his bag is still with me..."
"Could you keep this for him?"
As he spoke, Li Yuan paused for a moment and asked Jamie:
"What's the name of the bar you guys went to?"
He was a little angry and forgot to ask the name of the bar.
"Call her El. Fabrice"
Even after giving his name, Jamie was still a little worried:
"Is Edward really alright? What happened?"
"It's okay, go have fun, don't overthink it."
Actually, even if Li Yuan told Jamie the truth, it wouldn't make a difference.
Jamie is incapable of rescuing Edward; he'll only cause more trouble.
Li Yuan smiled and offered a few words of advice before hanging up the phone.
My mind started to wander:
"What movie is this plot from?"
Li Yuan, feeling somewhat disconnected from the plot, shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
They quickly boarded the flight to Las Vegas.
Salinas, whose face had been hung up on, looked even more unpleasant.
He gripped the phone in his hand, glaring fiercely at Edward.
After hesitating for a moment, he ultimately did not dare to make a move.
The man's tone on the other end of the phone always gave him a strange sense of pressure, like he was facing his own boss.
This made him subconsciously more cautious in his response.
Left with no other choice, he turned his gaze back to Moro:
"Find that bitch for me! You piece of trash!"
Moro, clutching his injured head, said with certainty:
"We'll definitely find her! I stabbed Lucia; she couldn't have gone far!"
Salinas waved his hand with a puzzled expression and said in a deep voice:
"Let's go!"
Edward saw that the other party indeed dared not touch him.
My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.
After the gang members left the office, Edward went to the bed and lay down.
He muttered to himself:
"Let Li Yuan handle this tomorrow. I'm going to get some sleep now."
As he spoke, Edward slowly closed his eyes, muttering:
"This bed stinks..."
Meanwhile, Lucia, who was wanted by the gang, drove her car to an old apartment building.
Then, she smashed her phone and threw it in the car.
He limped toward the apartment in front of him.
Her sister, Rosio, rents an apartment in this building.
This is Lucia's only family member she can rely on in Las Vegas.
Now that she has millions of dollars worth of contraband in her hands, no one can believe it.
However, what Lucia didn't know was...
Rosio, the older sister in the apartment, is also facing an impending crisis.
Rossio, who rents a place here, always felt there was something wrong with the place.
And the neighbors seemed a bit strange too.
Just now, black and foul-smelling sewage gushed out of the water pipe!
Rossio didn't pack his things; he simply grabbed his daughter and quickly fled into the corridor, intending to leave.
But the elevator was occupied, and Rossio became a little anxious.
At that moment, Lucia, who was taking the elevator, also arrived at the floor where her sister rented an apartment.
The two sisters bumped into each other the instant the elevator doors opened.
Their eyes met, and Rossio asked in surprise:
"What are you doing here?"
Rossio looked at his sister, whose face was covered in blood, with a look of astonishment on his face.
Lucia looked at her sister and niece, and her tense nerves instantly relaxed.
She walked weakly to Rossio and hugged her tightly.
Rosio saw that his sister was covered in blood and seriously injured.
They had no choice but to abandon their plans to leave.
He took her back to his rented apartment.
The two sisters hugged each other when they met.
But in reality, they weren't close and hadn't seen each other for a long time.
Rosio was an old-fashioned woman.
She married and had children early, and although she lived a frugal life...
But he has always been an honest and upright person.
Her younger sister, Lucia, has a completely opposite personality.
She spent her childhood on the streets.
Later, in order to make quick money, she even became a dancer, performing erotic dances in bars to make a living.
From then on, the two sisters became like strangers and never contacted each other again.
Inside the apartment, Rosio complained about his sister's behavior.
He carefully cleaned her wounds.
The knife wound was very deep; even the slightest movement would cause it to bleed profusely, making it difficult to heal.
"Who did this? Lucia."
Lucia didn't answer, but instead, enduring the pain, turned her head away and said:
"I'm in trouble, sister. I want to stay here."
"No, you can't stay here!"
Rossio angrily pressed hard on her wound.
Lucia cried out in pain.
Seeing his sister in pain, Rosio softened and shook his head.
They carefully bandaged her wound.
"I'll treat your wounds, then you can leave!"
At this moment, Rossio's daughter Alba walked over and asked curiously:
"Mom? Aren't we leaving?"
"I'm not leaving, Alba, go back to sleep!"
As she spoke, she shook her head helplessly and sighed softly:
"I don't know either......"
Rossio looked somewhat dejected, but Lucia didn't notice her expression.
In the end, Rossio allowed Lucia to stay.
However, Rossio still discovered the contraband.
After a long talk between the two sisters,
Lucia told her sister that she and a man had stolen a bag of contraband.
I also learned that my older sister seems to be in some kind of trouble.
But my sister didn't say it outright; she just looked pained and shed tears.
Lucia was exhausted from blood loss, so she took a shower.
I lay down on the bed intending to rest for a while, but I accidentally fell asleep.
In her half-awake state, she seemed to hear a rustling sound coming from the ventilation duct.
The somewhat sensitive Lucia quickly sat up.
After confirming the location of the sound,
She stood on a chair and peered curiously into the dark ventilation duct.
But just as she was intently peering inside,
A pair of large, charred, and filthy hands grabbed the grille of the ventilation duct with a "whoosh"!
This sudden scene startled Lucia so much that she instantly fell onto the bed!
With a powerful push, those large hands removed the grille directly!
Lucia stared nervously at the ventilation duct, then her eyes widened in horror!
Because disgusting cockroaches are constantly gushing out of it!
Immediately afterwards, a masked, pitch-black monster squeezed out of the ventilation duct.
Lucia was so frightened by the monster's appearance that she shuddered violently!
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself still lying in bed.
The sky outside was already bright.
Lucia looked around and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
It turns out I was just dreaming.
But when she left the room, she was surprised to find that her sister was gone.
Only my niece was home in the apartment.
Lucia looked at her niece who was making coffee and asked curiously:
Where is your mother?
"They probably escaped."
Alba shrugged, seemingly unconcerned about her mother's disappearance.
Meanwhile, after an overnight flight, Li Yuan arrived at Las Vegas International Airport and slowly disembarked from the plane.
