Chapter 866 - A New Task (1/2)
With the sun beginning to rise higher into the early morning, the people of Imperial started making their way to their everyday life. The streets gradually crowd with people walking and cars going about their day.
Inside Imperial Hotel, in one of the luxurious private rooms, Ji Chu Hua awoke from the bed. She sat up, causing the blanket covering her body to fall to her lap and reveal her naked body.
She brushes her hair behind her ear and inhales the smell of cigarette smoke. Her head turns to look in the direction of the balcony.
When she saw the back figure of the man she spent an entire night with, her cheeks flushed.
The man was smoking a cigarette and leaning against the balcony rail. His blond shoulder-length hair fluttered every so often with the passing wind.
However, she frowns a little when she sees that he has put on his clothes.
Ji Chu Hua reaches for the hotel robe, and she puts it on before getting out of bed.
”Sun, are you leaving already?”
She made the sweetest voice possible, but Choi Li Sun doesn't turn around to look at her. He stares down at the busy street below and takes a puff of his cigarette.
”I have a new task for you, Hua.”
Despite him ignoring her question, Ji Chu Hua loved how he spoke her name and didn't get angry. She comes to a stop behind him and hugs his waist.
She rests the side of her face on his back and presses her body against him.
”Anything that's within my reach.”
A malevolent light flashes across Choi Li Sun's eyes as the passing wind reveals the long scar on the right side of his face. He takes another puff of his cigarette and tosses it in the ashtray.
He turns around to face Ji Chu Hua and captures her lips.
”This task is within your reach.”
He moves her arms from his waist and walks to the hotel desk in the room. He picks up a thick yellow envelope and throws it onto the messy bed.
”In here is your new task.”
He walks to the couch and puts on his coat. Before leaving, he walks to Ji Chu Hua and gives her another kiss.
”I will call you later to confirm.”
His words end there, and he leaves the room without any care about the woman he left behind.
”Boss.”
The moment Choi Li Sun stepped out into the hotel hallway, a bulky man in a black suit greets him.
He looks at the man then places his hands in the pockets of his coat.
”Any updates?”
The bulky man glanced at the door his boss had walked out. He doesn't ask for details and follows after the man.
”Our support chain back home is under tight surveillance. Also, we just confirmed. Those people are here in Imperial, and they're the ones trying to track you down.”
At the mention of those people, Choi Li Sun sneers with maliciousness.
”So they've finally caught on.”
He sounds an evil laugh with a dark expression.
”Once Hua completes this task, I won't need to hide anymore.”
The two men end their conversation and enter the elevator. As they left Imperial Hotel, Ji Chu Hua remained alone in the room.
She was in a full-on rage that Choi Li Sun had left her. She thought that he would spend another few hours with her since they barely saw one another.
However, she scoffed and rolled her eyes at the door.
It was always like this with him. He calls her when he feels like it and leaves when he wants. It was like he didn't care about her feelings at all.
She glares at the door, then at the yellow envelope. She inhales a deep breath and steadies her mind before walking towards it.
Picking up the envelope, she sits down on the edge of the bed and opens it.
She takes out a stack of money and documents, along with a few photos.
”This...”
She stares at the photos and her eyebrows creased. Each image was of the same man but taken at different angles.
He is incredibly handsome and has a faded haircut. However, Choi Li Sun had overlapped the photos with various red markings.
Each one had detailed information of what needed to be done.
She set the photos aside and picked up the documents. Once she finished browsing through them, the corners of her lips arc up.
”I see... So this is the task.”
She picks up one photo of the man smiling with a guitar. His face was one that could win the hearts of many women.
”He's planning to change his face into this.”
Thinking about the task Choi Li Sun had given her, she smiles with satisfaction. The man was already good-looking, but if he were to look as good as the man in the photo, many would be jealous of her to have him.
She placed everything back inside the yellow envelope and stood up.
”I should call Gu Ting Fei after I shower. He must be worried about me.”
She put the envelope in her purse and headed for the bathroom to freshen up for the day.
Oblivious to what had happened at Imperial Hotel, Yue Ling and the Liu siblings had finished breakfast and left the house.
