Chương 24: 24. Dragon Snake Gang
Layla smells a faint lotus root scents and some unrecognized ingredients from Evan's breath. Dom squats beside her and pulled out a brown pouch from his suits chest pocket. They saw a row of different types and sizes needles.
Evan's mother alarmed when Dom trying to poke a needle on Evan's wrist.
" Stop! What are you trying to do?!" She shrieks and almost went up to slap Dom's hand. But, Layla quickly stops her hand and spoke coldly.
" Madam, he's a traditional Chinese doctor. Believe him, please. I assured you Evan will be okay." Layla put down Evan's mother hand and continue to look over the treatment. She quickly stood up and went towards the dining table. She turned to the silent Adrian and asked,
" Where's Evan seat? What he eats and drink? Who served the dish?" Adrian snapped back to the present. He saw how Layla defending the guard earlier and felt sour from the sight.
He pouted, but point out with his forefinger. He went together with Layla, feeling abandoned when Layla clearly still in a bad mood. Layla takes up the dishes and smells it one by one. She also sniffed Evan's plate. Nothing. Her eyes fell into the drink and put it under her nose. Her eyes darkened.
" In the drink? But, Ina also drank the same juice." Adrian noticed the two gettings closer and even talking, laughing together. He also saw the waiter poured the drink, but didn't notice anything strange at all.
" The drink in the jug was fine. Only Evan's glass had this bittersweet smell of orange, mixed with lotus root." Layla turned to look at Dom, and pull out a needle from his pouch. Getting his permission, she went to test the drink with the silver needle. Dom's needle was pure silver, craved by his Master personally. In no time, the needle turned darker and darker, until it becomes ink black.
" As I thought," Layla murmured. She turned towards the waiters inside the dining room.
" Who's the one poured the drink?" She asked coldly. One of the waiters looked around, but not find the person.
" It should be Ah Yao. He's new here," Replied the waiter.
" Describe him to me," Layla went closer to hear, but stopped by Adrian. His face was so dark. Layla confused.
" Something?" She asked.
" You can speak now," Adrian ignored the certain someone and spoke to the waiter.
" Oh, um..he should the one who's called the ambulance..." Before he could finish the words, Layla storm out, cursing out loud.
" Shit!" Adrian followed from behind. He totally amazed at how fast she can run.
He saw she called someone and quickly asked for traces of the waiter. Her tones were so alluring, yet the coldness inside can't be ignored.
" Lily, track the bastard that ran away from the dining room around 10.30 to 11 pm. Give me his location ASAP."
" On it!" At the end of the line, Lily, one of Layla's personal assistant in the guard mission typing fast on the keyboard. Her hands literally flew rapidly, typing the string of codes and windows popped in and out nth times.
" Got it! He went to another nearby hotel, taking a car to run away. I'll send his coordinates to your tracking devices. And, he's not alone," Lily sent out the videotapes that she steals from the CCTV around the city.
" Thank you," Layla run faster and called out her car through her modified digital watch. Adrian stands silently, looking at her actions without uttering any words.
" I'll follow you," Adrian used the no-compromise tones, daring her to stop him to go together. Layla shakes her head, amused.
" as you wish,"

10 minutes later, Layla sports car arrived in front of them. Adrian silently shocked to see no one inside the car. Don't tell him the car drove itself to here?
" Come in," Layla dives inside the car and drove away after Adrian secured his seatbelt. She pushes a button and a small keypad pushed out from a secret compartment on her right side. She rapidly types the codes and robotic voices come out from the speaker inside the car.
" Please stay safe on your seat, prepared to track." The robotic voice stopped but a horizontal screen appeared in the middle of the car from the radio box. A map and red dot moved quite fast.
Layla grabbed the car steering wheel, started to speed up to follow the dot. She skillfully drives the car on the road, cutting several cars and do not stop even on the traffic lights. Lily secretly cover every CCTV on the road for Layla smoothly do her work.
Lily change her line of telecommunication to inside Layla car.
" Baby, I already checked the man identity. I hope you can be careful about this time because he's one of Leonel's men." Hearing this name, Layla's eyes narrowed dangerously. Adrian stiffened at the name come out from the radio speaker. His eyes narrowed dangerously.
Leonel...is him again! Layla lost her compose and smack her hand on the steering wheel.
" Dragon Snake Gang!" She hissed venomously. Adrian glanced at her, didn't comment on. He no longer the old him, so this thing shouldn't become his problem.
But, hearing that Dragon Snake Gang, Adrian secretly pinching in between his eyebrows. He glanced at the person beside him and decided to not get involved. Unless there's a big mission, he won't be included.
Evan should be able to survive this predicament and save this mission for his wife to handle.
Shall I stayed in and enjoy the show? Adrian smirked, thinking how his daring wife does the acts. Oh, wife. Don't disappoint me!
