Chapter 152 - Trouble

"Sorry, I was not careful." Jackie Chan also felt a little guilty when he saw Laila busy looking for a solution. If he could be more careful, those vases wouldn't be broken one by one.

"I have already found my friends at HK (Hong Kong) and ask them to find similar substitutes. I believe there will be news soon."

"Yeah." Laila nodded, "I can only take a chance."

Before the vase matter was resolved, she had no mood for shooting, so she gave the crew and the actors a day off. She also took two bodyguards and left the studio to take a break, and went to a few porcelain shops to try her luck.

The reason why she took the bodyguard with her was that her old man arranged it. When Claire couldn't be with her, she needed to bring these two people by her side. Although it was a little troublesome to prevent her family from worrying about her safety, she reluctantly accepted it.

After all, her appearance was utterly exposed in the last live broadcast, letting more people know her identity. Maybe someone would be interested in a little girl with a large amount of fortune. The United States is not an absolutely safe place. It is better to be careful.

What she didn't expect was that after walking out of a disappointment from a porcelain shop with oriental square characters, she saw a middle-aged man with a very British style standing not far away.

"I should have warned you about the consequences if you show up in front of me again." Looking at that person, Laila's eyes instantly sharpened. "Will waited here specially, don't tell me it's just an accident!"

"Damn it, how did you recognize me?" The middle-aged man called out again with emotion in a young voice that was not commensurate with his appearance. When he saw the two bodyguards behind her leaning towards him with an ugly expression, he immediately raised his hands in a surrender gesture.

"Wait! I swear I came in peace. I just want to make a deal with you."

Laila stopped the bodyguard's movements: "I don't think there is any business to discuss with you."

"Why not? For example, It's not difficult for me to find a few vases."

The other party's words made Laila squinted her eyes: "Jia Xiaoming, it seems that you have been staring at me for more than a day or two. What are your intentions?"

Dressed up as a middle-aged man, Jia Xiaoming showed a wry smile: "Why don't you believe me? I have no malice, nor did I deliberately want to stare at you. I just accidentally learned a little about you while doing other things."

Laila's ice blue eyes looked at him from head to toe. It cannot be denied that his appearance is perfect, he looks like a mature man with an English-style gentleman demeanor, and no one can see that under that costume is an outright oriental face.

This person will be trouble. Her heart kept warning her like this, but after all, she could not resist the vase he was talking about.

"Talk in another place." Abandoning these words, she got into the car with two bodyguards. She believed that he could keep up, so she didn't tell him where she was going.

More than half an hour later, Jia Xiaoming really appeared in front of Laila, in an advanced leisure club.

This is a place where all kinds of big people like to come. Other places have leisure here. They can also arrange for you if there are no activities in other places. It can be said that as long as they pay the starting price, even if they want to arrange a trip to the moon, it is not impossible for them.

Laila got her grandpa's membership card. She deliberately chose this place to see Jia Xiaoming's strength. Sure enough, he really came in! It can be seen that this person should have a more complicated and troublesome background than she thought.

In fact, Jia Xiaoming also knew that she was being tempted, but he could only silently show part of his strength before her. He believed that if he didn't come in, there would be no chance to negotiate the "sale" between them.

"Laila, are you really only nineteen years old?" Jia Xiaoming grinned, thinking about what he was doing when he was nineteen. It seems that apart from training, it is training? How pure and kind I was at that time!

"We are not familiar. Please call me Miss Moran." Laila is not interested in getting closer to him. This kind of troublesome person should stay as far away as possible. If it weren't for the trouble of the vase, she would have let the bodyguard take him away.

"Don't say that! Didn't we talk very well when we first met?"

"It's a pity that I don't think so." It's all because she couldn't help but feel kind to the faces of Asians at the time. If she knew that he was such a troublesome person, she would never say a word to him!

Jia Xiaoming scratched his head: "These little ones are set aside in advance. Let's talk about the business first."

Laila looked at him without speaking but just made a gesture for him to continue.

"Actually, I'm investigating a case, and I have some involvement with someone in your crew. I hope you can give me some help. In return, I will help you find the vase you need." Jia Xiaoming is afraid of being beaten by her. Said it like a broken breath.

Case? Laila frowned.

This is not good news. If the people in the crew are really involved in a troublesome matter, I am afraid it will have an unnecessary impact on the movie. She likes to hype, but she doesn't want to see her movies get involved in crimes.

But Jia Xiaoming's words cannot be fully believed. Who knows what his identity is? Who knows whether the case he is talking about is someone else's case or his case!

"I refuse!" After only a few seconds, Laila made a decision.

Jia Xiaoming was dumbfounded. Refuse? Why did you refuse? According to the general process, shouldn't she doubt his words first and learn more about his true identity? He has all his credentials in her hand, so why doesn't she play the cards according to the card?

Laila knew what he was thinking by looking at his expression, so she answered straightforwardly: "I can't trust you. Whether it's your identity or your story, I can't trust even the evidence you show."

A person who changes every time, how could she believe his words? What if he took out FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) or NYPD (New York Police Department) documents? Who knows if that is one of the forged identities again? Use an untrustworthy person to dig deep into the disgrace of her crew. She is so stupid that she will do such no good things!

It's just a vase. What if it doesn't it? The big deal is that she lost all the previous shots of the vase and looked for other suitable props to use again. At the most, this is to increase the budget by a sum of money. It is better than the entire crew being involved in the media and criminal behavior!
