Tangling with the Western Commander

This is a story of a captain of a secluded place and a gorgeous female celebrity—both who would hardly cross paths but a collision in Tibet sets an opening to their encounter.

I am very poor, what is it in me that you like about?” Wenxian, “I like how you always snub back at me.” Lu Xiao choked and walked away heartlessly. “You are shameless, don’t even dream about it!” The next day, he said, “It's all because you were carried away by a whim?” Wenxian, “No, hatching a scheme.”

One of the highly regarded Elmore Leonard novels is 'Get Shorty'. It has a great mix of crime, humor, and memorable characters. The story of Chili Palmer, a mobster who gets into the movie business, is engaging and full of Leonard's signature style of dialogue and plot twists.
