Li Haiyang watched Leo disappear before his eyes.
Although many of his doubts remained unresolved, he understood Leo's intentions.
To them, Leo harbored no ill will, but this was only because they were both Chinese.
If he deliberately crossed the line Leo had set, then the fragile emotional bond that already existed would not stop Leo from retaliating against Dragon Fang.
Only after Li Haiyang closed the door and returned to his room did he suddenly realize something.
His previous immense fear of Leo had vanished without a trace in just a few short sentences. Instead, his affinity for Leo had soared.
Had it simply been because Leo had stated his stance?
Perhaps. Or maybe Leo's attitude towards China had resonated with Li Haiyang, instantly bridging the gap between them and greatly increasing Li Haiyang's trust in Leo.
The sound of the door closing was heard by Li Qian, who had been monitoring the situation downstairs. She quickly came out.
Seeing her father standing motionless in the living room, Li Qian walked over. "Dad, did Leo leave? What did you talk about?"
Li Haiyang looked at his daughter beside him and gently stroked her head.
"It's nothing. Go back to your room and rest. Perhaps, things have taken a turn for the better."
"Huh? Dad, what happened? Also, you said you wanted us to return to China? Tomorrow? Even if we're going back, let me say goodbye to my friends. I've been here for six years, and now we have to suddenly leave..."
Li Qian looked at her father, her words tinged with unhappiness, yet she had never considered defying her father's order.
Li Haiyang pondered Leo's words. He couldn't be sure if everything Leo had said was true. It was even possible that Leo was just trying to delay him, allowing enemies to surround him.
Of course, even as Li Haiyang considered this, he couldn't help but chuckle, finding it unrealistic.
Leo now knew his identity. If he had truly intended to harm him, he wouldn't have been able to escape by now.
"You should go to sleep!"
After pushing Li Qian back into her room, Li Haiyang looked at the small metal box on the table.
He picked it up and tipped it onto the table, spilling out over a dozen small tools.
He began to inspect them, even dismantling the slightly larger components to verify that they were all his belongings and that nothing had been tampered with.
The only change was that one tranquilizer bullet was missing from the handgun.
Gently running his finger over the rifling in the small handgun, Li Haiyang could feel that the bullet had been fired.
His eyes began to fill with thought and struggle once more.
Finally, he picked up the secondary communication device, which he had reactivated earlier, put it on his ear, and dialed the only remaining number in its memory.
"Hey, Brother, what's up?" that cold female voice came through again.
"The evacuation plan is canceled. Revoke all missions related to Leo's identity, and designate Leo as a Class A secret. I will inform Zhang Huan later."
Li Haiyang's order was transmitted, causing Li Lu on the other end to freeze.
"Please reconfirm the mission directive!"
"The evacuation plan is canceled. Immediately revoke all..." Li Haiyang repeated the previous order.
"Yes, I will begin execution immediately!"
Li Lu confirmed Li Haiyang's order and immediately began to reassign tasks, canceling the original missions and changing their direction.
"Brother, did something happen over there?"
After a while, Li Lu asked directly.
"Don't worry about it for now. Seal off news about Leo. I'm going to report to Commander Zhang Huan," Li Haiyang said in a deep voice, then hung up the phone.
He picked up the things on his desk and walked into his room, thinking he would have a lot to talk about with Zhang Huan tonight.
The next day, the sun rose as usual, and everything seemed ordinary and warm.
Jenny and George also lived their day as usual.
On the other side, Lorelei had also spent her first night on Earth.
And at this moment, more than forty members of the Biker Gang had gathered around her, led by Rooster, all staring at Lorelei with infatuation.
Lorelei, who had been sealed for six hundred years, seemed unaccustomed to life on Earth.
However, her inner desires had not diminished in the slightest.
"I want a large amount of gold, jewelry, and weapons. Go and bring these things back!" Lorelei said to the men surrounding her. "Yes, my beloved!" "I'm willing to do anything for you!" "I will!" "Your command is my pursuit." "This is the most beautiful sound!" "You are my everything, I will..."
All the men around replied, then mounted their Motorcycles and charged out in droves, heading for the weapon shops and jewelry stores.
Rooster, who was temporarily the leader of the biker gang, naturally took out his team's savings.
A large number of firearms and half a backpack of rolled-up hundred-yuan banknotes.
The entire team's savings were presented to Lorelei without reservation.
Lorelei, who seemed accustomed to this atmosphere, was the queen of everyone.
Looking at the rolls of banknotes in front of her, Lorelei said angrily, "I want gold, but you brought me paper!!"
Rooster heard this and became very nervous, very afraid that Lorelei would be dissatisfied. He quickly explained while holding the banknotes, "This... this is Cash, like gold, it's the currency here."
Lorelei nodded upon hearing this. She looked at the banknotes spread out in her hand and pointed at the portrait on them.
"Who is this ugly woman?"
"Uh, this is Benjamin Franklin. He was president and once led the entire country," Rooster explained.
Lorelei snatched the hundred-dollar bills and examined them. "Women can rule your country, can they?"
"You will be the first person to make history," Rooster said, gazing at Lorelei with infatuation.
"Yes, I will," Lorelei said confidently as she put the money away.
The bar door was suddenly pushed open, and another somewhat stout woman strode in. She walked up to Rooster and shouted loudly.
"I sent you texts all day, I was so worried, I thought you died somewhere!"
"Don't be like that, baby, there's nothing to worry about. I just turned off my phone. Lorelei can't stand such noise," Rooster said, gazing infatuatedly at Lorelei, who was playing with jewelry nearby.
"Why is she wearing my clothes, Dewey!" the woman said, gritting her teeth as she looked at Rooster, her eyes fixed on Lorelei.
"Who is his Dewey?"
Lorelei asked curiously.
Rooster quickly explained to her, "I am Dewey. That's my real name. She calls me that, she's my wife!"
"Oh ho!" Lorelei said, a wicked smile forming on her lips. She stood in front of Rooster and said softly.
"Do you like her more than me?"
"Compared to you, she is nothing!"
