* Roommates *
004
The two agents didn't get any useful information in the end.
Of the only two people present, one did not report the situation, and the other was only playing with his mobile phone and did not realize that there was another person standing outside the supermarket.
There were no surveillance cameras installed here, only a chicken rib wide-angle lens installed in the corner of the supermarket.
At this point, all possible clues were interrupted.
Naturally, there was no need for them to continue wasting time here.
However, Lu Jia was a little absent-minded. She used the excuse that she was a little tired from driving and needed to rest for a while, but she just stood there and watched the black Chevrolet drive away.
Looking at the road in the dark, Lu Jia couldn't help but recall what the detective had said.
- He's a good liar.
What kind of event would lead an agent to make such an assessment of Mr. Phoenix?
Could he have fooled her during the journey just now?
If the answer is yes, what might Mr. Phoenix be lying to her about?
……
She shuddered, but she wanted to laugh at how easily she had trusted someone who was suspected to be on the run.
Lu Jia couldn't help but be silent. She felt her body getting heavier and heavier, as if she was falling into a bottomless blue sea. All kinds of wild thoughts surfaced in her mind.
To be honest, the politeness and accomplishment engraved in her bones were trying to make Lu Jia want to wait for him to come back and set off with him, continuing to fulfill what she promised in exchange for him to fulfill his promise in the future.
However, perhaps because of what the white detective had said, Lu Jia's suspicion eventually gained the upper hand. She couldn't help but reassess the feasibility and risk of this matter.
Danger.
After a few hours of driving, there were only thirty or forty kilometers left from Las Vegas, and Mr. Phoenix had not appeared for a long time.
Lu Jia felt that she had done her best. No matter what, she had just helped him lie. The risk she took was far greater than the benefit. She could not wait until he appeared.
So she decided...
- Leave him alone! Run now!
Thinking of this, Lu Jia had already made a decision in her heart.
Therefore, she immediately opened the car door and got into the car. She started the engine hurriedly. After glancing at the full fuel tank, Lu Jia paused for a while and finally turned the steering wheel to drive to the highway.
As Lu Jia drove, she nervously looked back through the rearview mirror. After confirming that no handsome and tall man suddenly jumped out of the bushes, she finally heaved a sigh of relief and turned around to continue her planned journey.
A little relaxed, she reached out and turned on the car stereo. Strange and absurd psychedelic pop music flowed slowly, and hoarse and illusory male voices murmured, paradoxically singing about a crazy wife killing her husband.
“In the summer
Took my gun
And made him go to Neverland.”
“He was something
My old husband……”①
Lu Jia frowned a little irritably at this moment. She stretched out her hand and cut into Calvin Harris's straightforward and summer fashion before she relaxed her brows slightly, trying to make herself forget what had just happened and devote herself to this summer trip alone.
Yeah, it's only day two, so enjoy it.
Las Vegas is Luca's next destination.
The most famous and luxurious casino in Las Vegas is Caesars Palace Casino Resort.
However, being famous also meant that it was expensive. Lu Jia didn't have that much spare money, so she finally booked an ordinary hotel with a moderate price. Even so, she was still full of anticipation.
As time went by, the guilt of abandoning Mr. Phoenix had long since been exhausted in the boring driving process, and the scenery on both sides of the road gradually changed from a dark and desolate dry land.
It was clearly late at night, but the bright and colorful neon lights still decorated the various casinos and hotels that stood here. They even lit up the ordinary palm trees on the roadside. The faces of the pedestrians were also bright, and the flow of people was still as bright as during the day.
Lu Jia couldn't help but be infected by this atmosphere. As she drove, she looked out of the window curiously. It seemed that even the air was filled with the smell of money and madness.
Here is the world's most famous Bo/color industry, but also the world's entertainment capital and wedding holy land, along the way in addition to casinos and hotels is the white church.
Holy and depraved are in the same place.
As the car navigation continued forward, Lu Jia finally arrived at her residence for tonight and tomorrow, the Golden Brick Casino Hotel.
In order not to have to pay a tip, Lu Jia refused the doorman's valet parking service and carefully parked the rented car. Then, she took out her luggage from the trunk and entered through the magnificent gate, ready to check in.
However, before she left, Lu Jia caught a glimpse of the phone thrown in the back of the driver's seat from the corner of her eye. She couldn't help but stop and put the phone into her pocket with a frown.
It was too troublesome not to have a mobile phone card…Fortunately, the hotel had WiFi, so there was no need to worry about the Internet for the next two days.
Lu Jia arrived late. The front desk was empty and there was no one there. She only waited for a moment before completing the check-in procedures. She took the room card and sat in the elevator. Then, she followed the instructions and found her room smoothly.
However, just as Lu Jia took out her room card and opened the door, the footsteps that came from afar suddenly accelerated.
Just as she raised her head to look back in confusion, a tall shadow immediately enveloped her. The aggressive male hormones made Lu Jia's entire body stiff and unable to move. Then, an irresistible force wrapped her up and forcefully brought her into the room.
"…Woo!"
Lu Jia wanted to scream loudly, but to her horror, she found that she could only make vague whining sounds!
Almost at the same time, she realized that there was a hot and powerful hand covering her mouth tightly, and the other hand was tightly wrapping around Lu Jia's throat with her elbow. She was patient and professional, unable to let her make a sound that would affect the other customers. Her actions revealed extreme proficiency.
"Don't move."
The hairs on her ears stood up, and the hot breath brushed against her skin, causing her to subconsciously shiver.
However, all the slight tremors were strangled in the cradle. Lu Jia found that she could not even breathe smoothly, accompanied by the sound of " Pa-".
It was the sound of the door being gently closed.
After a long time, until Lu Jia felt that the entire space was frozen like glue, she finally figured out the owner of this voice from her blank mind.
Caspar Phoenix.
But…how could this be?
Realizing who the other party was, Lu Jia felt blood rush into her brain instantly. She could only lean weakly on the man behind her.
... no, wait.
Too close.
Although it was already evening, the summer wind still carried a hint of warmth.
Lu Jia was still wearing short sleeves. Although she couldn't see what the man behind her was wearing in the dim light, she could easily feel that he was only wearing a thin shirt through his exposed skin.
The two layers of fabric were not much, but Lu Jia had never experienced such a scene in her life. Her brain had never felt so clear about touch. It was as hot as a furnace, and it was full of ups and downs and vitality.
"Grumble-"
Lu Jia swallowed subconsciously. She clearly wanted to lower her voice as much as possible, but coincidentally, she squeezed her throat and made an unpleasant sound.
For a moment, the dim hotel room became even more silent.
After a long while, the man's unquestionable palm slowly loosened, but it seemed to retain the pressure of his palm pattern on her lips.
It was like a mark that would not dissipate in a short period of time.
Lu Jia turned her head with difficulty. For the first time, she felt that her head was so heavy. After a long time, she finally focused her gaze on the blurry figure. She held her breath and asked in a hoarse voice that surprised her," How did you..."
She had too many doubts in her stomach.
How did you follow us here?
Why did you suddenly disappear?
How did you...
"They are all experienced agents, but your performance exceeded my expectations."
“……!”
Although he released Lu Jia's hand, he still maintained his shackles.
Perhaps because of this reason, even though the man's voice was very soft, Lu Jia could still hear all the details in his voice, including the subtle teeth sounds caused by the collision between his lips and teeth, which made the whole world seem even more magnetic.
"So it seems that our peers are far from Las Vegas."
