Chapter 554 - Han Jia, Past

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The reason why Reger was able to establish 24th Street in the Western District in just a few years was not only because of his own strength. He was sinister, cunning, and even unscrupulous in order to achieve his goal.

To let him deal with Han Jia was Shen Xiaoxiao’s plan, and it was also her intention. To be honest, why did she have to make Reger do it? Was there no one in the Dark Empire who could do it?

Of course not. It was just that, without knowing what kind of mole the Dark Empire had, Shen Xiaoxiao would rather believe in Reger, the man she could control.

Because, compared to others, she knew more about Reger, and Reger was more fearful of her.

...

“Close those places under you immediately.”

Long Xi ordered Han Jia. This was not a negotiation, but a direct order. Although he was ruthless, he would never touch these things. He didn’t expect Han Jia to be so bold. She really dared to do anything. She was crazy.

“I can’t explain it to Grandma.”

“Explain? Using a group of girls under the age of 13 as an explanation?”

“Long Xi, when did you become so compassionate?”

Han Jia looked at Long Xi’s expression. The disdain on his face was undisguised. He looked down on her, and he was mocking her.

But why should he mock her? If she didn’t do this, would she be able to exchange for his antidote? He had repeatedly disobeyed Grandma’s orders. How could Grandma still be so obedient and send him the antidote regularly? Who was she doing this for? Who was it for? Wasn’t it for him? Could it be that he really couldn’t see through it?

“I won’t close those places.”

“I’m not asking for your opinion. My people have already gone over. I’m just informing you. If you think your life is too long, you can give it a try.”

“You... Long Xi, why am I doing this? For who? Do you know that Grandma will...”

“What will she do? What can the old woman do to me? Do you really think that she will give me the antidote because you keep providing her with money? You think so highly of yourself.”

“Get out, idiot.”

Long Xi’s rage and mockery were so strong that it exposed Han Jia’s thoughts completely.

Han Jia didn’t expect Long Xi to say that. Wasn’t it because she wanted to? Wasn’t it? How could it not be?

“Obviously, obviously...”

“Han Jia, no, should I call you Lin Weiwei? Don’t act on your own. Your stupidity is just a joke in my eyes.”

“A joke? You say I’m just a joke? You know who I am? You know I’m Lin Weiwei?”

Long Xi glanced at Han Jia and didn’t say anything else. It was rare for him to think highly of a woman, just like how he thought highly of Shen Xiaoxiao. However, Han Jia using those girls who were less than 13 years old to do things, he would definitely look down on her. This was even more despicable than selling drugs or even underground boxing.

Long Xi left without saying a word. Han Jia clenched her fists. Being looked down on by the man she liked was not something that could be explained with just a few words.

However, it was absolutely impossible for her to shut down those businesses. Even if Long Xi knew her real name was Lin Weiwei, so what? How would he know the real identities of her and Grandma? How would he know what they really wanted?

How much had she done for all these years? How much had she done?

How could it end so easily? How could it be possible?

Moreover, the more he looked down on her, the more she wanted him to submit.

...

Han Jia would never forget what he looked like when she first saw Long Xi. That man appeared in front of her like a god.

She had just been punished and sat in a corner. That man was locked in the same dark room as her. The rats and snakes in the room were crawling all over the place. She was so scared that she was trembling, but this man had no fear at all. He sat there indifferently.

She was so scared that she wanted to approach him, but he never said a word. He looked like he was keeping people a thousand miles away until the snakes started to crawl around them.

She saw with her own eyes that this man grabbed the snake by his feet and directly tore it into two pieces. He even put it in his mouth and chewed it.

She admitted that she would never forget the way this man saved her when the poisonous snake bit her. But at the same time, the way that man directly ate the poisonous snake made her feel inexplicably terrified every time she thought of it.

Grandma let the two of them appear together outside. At that time, she learned that his name was Long Xi. She didn’t know where Grandma had found him to counterbalance the man from the Dark Empire.

His methods were amazing, cruel, and cold, but she always felt that this man acted differently towards her because he had saved her life several times. Several times, he had protected her under his wings.

Han Jia couldn’t forget this feeling, and she didn’t want to forget it.

She didn’t know when it started, but Long Xi no longer listened to Grandma. He became impatient and began to refuse to carry out orders. He was no longer under anyone’s control.

She had heard her grandmother say that she would no longer give him the antidote and let him live on his own. She wanted him to die from the pain, but she could not do it. She could not do it. She could not bear to do it.

Although this man had always been impatient with her, she could not bear to see this man suffer even the slightest bit of harm.

Now, he wanted her to close down the brothels? Did he think that she was willing to do these outrageous things? Did he think that she was willing to do such a disgusting thing?

Could she not do it? First, it was him, and then it was her father. They were all used to threaten her. How could she stop so easily? How could she?

...

“Miss Han, our place has been swept.”

“What? Long Xi, are you really so heartless?”

“No, it wasn’t Boss Long’s people. It was Reger. It was Reger’s people who did it.”

Han Jia’s expression became a little better when she heard this answer, but it was Reger. This man still dared to provoke her?

“He’s really courting death. Where is he now? Gather the men. I’m going to kill him properly.”

The subordinate saw that Han Jia didn’t listen to him and immediately went to gather the men. Instead, he said with a troubled expression,?“Miss Han, Boss Long said that you can’t mobilize anyone from the 24th Street of the Western District.”

“What?”

When Han Jia heard this, she stood up from the stool, her hands shaking with anger. He really didn’t care about this at all. Was he really that ruthless? Did he really have to force her?

“Where is the Long Xi?”

“This...”

“What’s wrong? Tell me!”

Seeing her subordinate stuttering, Han Jia had a bad feeling. She took out her pistol and pointed it at the top of her subordinate’s head. “If you don’t tell me, I’ll shoot you.”

“This, this, I’ll say it, I’ll say it. Boss Long and Mrs. Yan are at the resort villa...”

“What....”
