However, staying in a hotel was inconvenient, as the privacy was poor. So, Shen Ye eventually asked Balalaika to help him rent a house.
Although somewhat disappointed, Balalaika nodded and then said, "Why don't you rent the house you used to live in?"
“That would be better.” Shen Ye nodded, recalling the house he used to live in.
After chatting for a while, Shen Ye left the Moscow hotel with Robert and Fabiola.
As soon as he left, Levi, Shen Hua, and the others also left. As for the target they were protecting, Soi, he was left at the Moscow Hotel, since the Moscow Hotel was the safest place in the entire Roanapur.
Before Shen Ye left, Balalaika gave him a cell phone, which already contained everyone's numbers for easy contact.
……
Since Shen Hua gave Shen Ye a car, the three of them drove directly back to their hotel.
As soon as the three of them got out of the car, the cell phone that Balalaika had given Shen Ye rang. The caller was Balalaika herself, who told him that the house had been rented and he could move in anytime.
Now that they had rented a place, Shen Ye simply went back to his room to get his luggage and went straight to check out. The three of them then headed to the rented apartment without stopping.
When Shen Ye and his two companions arrived, there were quite a few people moving things out of the rented house. They learned that the workers were arranged by Balalaika to deliver daily necessities to them.
"She's very meticulous and has arranged everything very well," Shen Ye remarked, watching the workers bustling around the room.
“After all, he’s a gangster boss; he thinks more than others,” Robert said expressionlessly. She felt as if everyone else knew how to take care of people better than she did, and her mood instantly soured.
Shen Ye didn't notice Robert's unease. He stood outside the room, lit a cigarette, and waited for the workers inside to finish.
Just as I was smoking, a series of crisp footsteps suddenly echoed in the stairwell, sounding like the soles of high heels clicking on the floor.
Shen Ye looked down into the stairwell and saw a woman wearing a loose black T-shirt carrying a paper bag full of food walking upstairs.
Because the woman was carrying a large paper bag, Shen Ye couldn't see her face clearly, but her perfect figure still caught his eye a few more times. However, after the woman came up, he withdrew his gaze and took a step back to make way for her.
Shen Ye thought the woman would continue upstairs, but to his surprise, she stopped on this floor and took out her keys from her equally loose casual pants.
"Neighbor, huh..." Shen Ye thought to himself.
Perhaps because she was carrying too many things, the woman's search for her keys was not smooth, and it took her quite a while to find them.
The woman then went to open the door, but the things she was carrying blocked her view. She tried several times but couldn't insert the key into the keyhole. Finally, she kicked the door angrily.
Seeing this, Shen Ye couldn't help but laugh, and even laughed out loud. Robert, who was next to him, quickly pulled him back, feeling that it was impolite.
Seemingly hearing her laughter, the woman suddenly turned to face him. Shen Ye quickly suppressed his laughter and was about to apologize when the woman handed him the bag of food.
"Help me get this," the woman said, her voice unusually clear and pleasant.
"Ah, oh, okay." Recalling what he had just done, Shen Ye felt a little embarrassed and quickly took the paper bag.
Without the paper bag obstructing her view, the woman opened the door easily, and upon hearing the sound of the door opening, Shen Ye immediately handed her the paper bag.
"Thank you." The woman took the paper bag, thanked her, and then went inside.
Looking at the closed door, Shen Ye felt a little regretful, as he still hadn't seen what the woman looked like.
However, he quickly put the idea out of his mind; after all, they were neighbors, and there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
After waiting a while at the door, the workers inside had already tidied up the room. Once they left, the three of them moved in.
The apartment Shen Ye was staying in was a standard two-bedroom, one-living room apartment. Although Balalaika had sent a lot of things over, the room's layout was exactly the same as when Shen Ye left, which made him very satisfied.
Robert was equally satisfied. She happily wandered around the room, then pointed to the second bedroom and said to Fabiola, "You'll sleep here from now on."
Fabiola paused for a moment, then asked, "And what about you?"
“Of course I’m with Shen Shui,” Robert said matter-of-factly.
“Shouldn’t it be like at home, with everyone taking turns?” Fabiola said, somewhat dissatisfied.
Robert patted her head and said, "Let's talk about it when you're a little older."
Roberta smiled happily as she said this, knowing that for a long time to come, she would be the only one keeping Shen Ye company while he slept.
……
Time passed quickly and it was evening.
Shen Ye, having received a phone invitation from Balalaika, prepared to head to the Yellow Flag Bar with Robert and Fabiola.
Whether by coincidence or not, just as they stepped out, their next-door neighbor opened her door, carrying a trash bag, seemingly on her way to take out the garbage.
Only then did Shen Ye truly see the other person's appearance and discover that she was an exceptionally beautiful Eastern woman, at least in terms of appearance, not much less attractive than the women in his own family.
However, Shen Ye wasn't the type to fall in love with every girl he met. Although she was very beautiful, he simply greeted her and then led Robert and Fabiola downstairs.
Upon seeing his appearance, the woman paused for a moment. She hurriedly ran back to her bedroom with the trash bag, picked up her elegant women's wallet from the bedside table, opened it, took out a stack of photos, flipped through them a few times, and then picked out a photo.
It was a photo of Shen Ye from when he was in Raccoon City. It looked like it was taken from a surveillance camera, so you could only barely make out his face.
"What an unexpected bonus! I'm really lucky..." The woman muttered to herself after comparing them for a while and confirming that they looked exactly alike.
Thinking of the friends she had made in that new organization, the woman chuckled softly, "Jill, you promised me you'd treat me to a month of lavish meals after you found your sweetheart!"
……
Chapter 339! Choi Ji-woon and Jill
……
Thinking of this, the woman held the photo in her hand, then took out a satellite phone and entered a number.
After a long time, the call was finally answered, and a voice full of complaints came through the phone: "Ms. Choi Ji-yun, do you know that there is such a thing as time difference? I don't know what time it is where you are, but it's still several hours until dawn here. Now, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I will definitely ask Chris to make things difficult for you next time we meet for the BSAA training camp."
If Shen Ye were here at this moment, he would definitely recognize the voice as belonging to Jill, the Jill Valentine who had shared life and death with him in Raccoon City.
"I'm sorry, I got a little excited and forgot." Although she apologized, the woman Jill called Choi Ji-yun still had a smile on her face. She looked at the photo in her hand and deliberately asked, "Jill, does what you told me last time still count?"
"Which one?" Jill was clearly still half asleep; she yawned deeply and looked completely bewildered.
"You haven't forgotten about that month-long feast you treated me to, have you?" Choi Ji-woon reminded him, suddenly feeling a little nervous, afraid that the feast would fall through.
“Of course I haven’t forgotten, but that’ll be when you find him…” Jill’s voice trailed off as she said this, then she suddenly woke up, all sleepiness gone, and almost screamed, “You found him?”
Choi Ji-woon rubbed his ears, which were stinging from Jill's shouting, and said irritably, "Otherwise, why would I call you? Honestly, you almost deafened me."
Jill ignored her question and asked repeatedly, "Where is he now... no, where are you now?"
“Roanapura,” Choi Ji-woon said with a smile, “I don’t know if it’s luck or coincidence, but he lives next door to me, and he’s always with two women dressed as maids. Hey, Jill, he seems like a tough nut to crack…”
“Roanapura?” Jill could no longer hear what Choi Ji-woon said after that. She muttered to herself, “I need to check if there are any flights to Southeast Asia in the next few days…”
"Hey, Jill, can you hear me?" Listening to Jill's muttering to herself on the other end of the phone, Choi Ji-woon asked, somewhat puzzled, "Don't forget what you promised me, a month, not a day less."
But all she got in response was a beep; the other party had hung up.
Holding the satellite phone with a hint of frustration, Choi Ji-woon suddenly shook his head, marveling at how wondrous emotions could be, turning a battlefield Valkyrie admired even by her enemies into this state.
Tossing the satellite phone aside, Choi Ji-woon sprawled on the bed, muttering, "Judging from Jill's words, she's coming to Roanapur. I hope she doesn't forget me when she sees her lover. Sigh, what a feast! Actually, I'll eat anything, as long as it's not kimchi..."
……
Shen Ye naturally didn't know that the woman he had met was actually Cui Zhiyun. Although he didn't know Suo Yi and had no impression of the Blue Legion, it didn't mean he didn't know Cui Zhiyun. As a veteran CSOL player, his account, which had been dormant for several years, contained all of Cui Zhiyun's costume characters.
However, CSOL is an old game, and the graphics are outdated. In addition, he was too embarrassed to stare at the person closely, so he didn't recognize them at first glance.
However, what surprised him even more was that Choi Ji-yun actually knew Jill. But that was normal, just like he never believed that Ada would know Coco before, that was too ridiculous.
At this moment, Shen Ye, who was completely unaware of these events, was being surrounded by a group of people who were pouring him drinks. Laiwei and Shenhua seemed determined not to stop until he was completely drunk.
In the end, if Dutch hadn't stopped them because he couldn't stand it anymore, the two of them would have shoved the bottles into his mouth.
Even so, Shen Ye still drank five or six cups in one go. If it weren't for his strong physique, he probably would have collapsed under the table long ago.
Robert thoughtfully wiped the spilled wine off his clothes with a tissue, his gaze turning icy as he looked at Levi, who was trying to force him to drink again: "That's enough. This isn't how you drink."
Levi was quite familiar with Robert, but to be honest, she was still a little intimidated by her. Robert had left a deep impression on her when she wielded a shotgun with one hand and wreaked havoc in the bar, so when Robert saw her like that, she quickly took her drink and went back.
Seeing this, Locke and Bennie, who had always been bullied by Levi, wanted to make fun of her, but Levi seemed to know what they were thinking. She gave them a sidelong glance, which scared them into shutting up.
Shen Ye took the iced water that Robert had specially ordered for him, but he didn't drink it. He just held the glass with both hands, and his body temperature, which had risen sharply due to the alcohol, began to slowly drop. Then he looked at Soi sitting next to Balalaika and asked Balalaika, "Aren't you afraid of being attacked if you just openly bring her to a place like this?"
Balalaika held the glass between two fingers, swirled it gently, and quickly scanned the people in the bar before finally settling on a group of burly men who had been watching them since they entered. He chuckled and said, "This is Roanapura. Where I am, this is the safest place."
"So domineering, so confident." Shen Ye couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.
Balalaika simply smiled at Shen Ye's praise. Her confidence stemmed not only from her own strength but also from her management of Roanapur during this period. Since the last major battle, almost all the well-known gangs in Roanapur had been crippled. She and Zhang Weixin each had powerful backgrounds, and after quickly dividing up most of the territory, their strength not only did not decline but also became stronger due to the support of headquarters.
Nowadays, unless an army is sent to besiege them, it is impossible to drive them out of Roanapur.
Of course, we can't be so absolute. There are still many elite forces from various organizations in the world that could pose a threat to them. It's just that, under normal circumstances, they won't focus their attention on them.
However, that was under normal circumstances. Now it was different. Shen Ye also noticed that the group of guys who called themselves the Blue Legion would look in their direction from time to time, and their eyes were mainly focused on Soi. It seemed that they had come for Soi.
But they just stood there watching, without making any other move, as if, just as Balalaika had said, it was safe as long as she was there.
Just as Shen Ye was glancing at the group of people from the Blue Legion from time to time, another group of people walked into the bar, and the leader was none other than the cold and beautiful short-haired woman... Irina.
“This woman… looks familiar. I think I’ve met her before.” Upon seeing Irina, Dutch slowly frowned. As the person in charge of external liaison work at Black Lagoon, he had dealt with countless people. He felt that this woman looked familiar at first glance, but he couldn’t remember her right away.
Hearing his words, everyone turned to look at him. Shen Ye asked curiously, "Daqi, when did you meet such a beautiful woman? You kept it well hidden!"
“We don’t know each other, we’ve met before,” Dutch waved his hand.
At this moment, the woman named Irina shook off the Blue Legion members who were following her and sat down alone at a table. The table was very close to Shen Ye and the others, close enough that they could clearly see her face and hear her voice.
