Slaying Dragons

Lena spent a few minutes around Gary's fake gravestone and then head back to the car.

"How was it?" Lena asked James.

"I think you did great. Some reporters were following you."

"Good."

James drove out of the graveyard and back to the main road.

"Where will you be going now?"

"Head to University A, I need to go pick something up."

James turned around and drove to University A. This time around, he made sure there were no more people trying to follow them. James stopped outside the gates.

Lena texted her university kid workers to come out and bring her completed program along with them. She saw three scrawny young men walked out. She opened her door and exited the car.

"Big sister!" They ran towards her.

"Do you have it?"

"Of course we do!" The older one of the boys handed out the drive.

Lena took it and tossed it into the car. "I already sent the money to your accounts."

"Ok." They were all cheerful. "Is it true that your boyfriend died?"

"Shouldn't you be more focused on your grades than the nonsense that the news release every day?" Lena scolded the boys.

"Fine. We won't talk about your boyfriend. So when are you going to have us meet our new master instead? We really want to meet the Master Hacker."

Lena rolled her eyes. They are the same person!

"Next time. We are busy slaying dragons." Lena spoke. She got into the car and waved goodbye to the boys.

Lena needed to return to work tomorrow. SHYNE would be launching their next season items. Lena wanted to spend her first night away from the hospital by herself, but her mother called her that the Yang family invited them over tonight.

Shen Milli said that it was a celebratory dinner for Lena and Eva, that they both made it out alive and well. Lena texted her teacher that she will be there tonight. Lena stopped by her apartment, got a nice change of clothes, then headed to the Yang mansion.

Here it is… Lena was going to enter the dragons' lair. James came and opened the door for Lena and she stepped out gracefully. One could not tell that she just got out of the hospital. Lena patted James on the shoulder.

"Goodluck on your mission, Sir James."

Lena did not think she would enter the Yang mansion so soon. This gave her the perfect opportunity for her to bug this entire place. Using the gadgets from Kris and her own that she got from Gary, she will make sure there is not a spot in this house that goes unnoticed.

"Miss. Shen, everyone else is already inside. I will take you to them." Lena nodded and James followed behind them. Along their way, Lena casually talked to the worker and James was able to slip out unnoticed.

Lena really did not need an escort because she has been in this mansion many times before. They entered the main dining area and everyone was cheerfully chatting.

"Lena!" Madam Yang got up from her seat and came up to give Lena a hug.

"Auntie!" Lena cheerfully smiled back. "I missed you."

Madam Yang took a good look at Lena. "I am so thankful that you are alright. I was praying every day for your good health!"

"Thank you Auntie."

"Come, come. Sit."

Lena sat down on the chair. Shen Mao and Yang Bo sat at the ends, opposite of each other. Shen Milli and Madam Yang sat to one side, while Andy, Lena, and Eva sat to the other side.

Lena grabbed hold of Eva's hand. "Eva, I heard you were there. I am so glad you are safe too."

"Oh.. yeah." She looked at Madam Yang then smiled at Lena. "You only heard?"

Lena let go of her hands. "I don't recall anything. Only the shooting from outside the hotel. The doctor said that I must have been in great shock so my brain is blocking out that memory."

"That's good. I was glad that Eva was unconscious the entire too. You both don't need to recall those events." Andy spoke.

"I agree. I am glad to have that in the past."

The food was served. There was much delicious and nutritious food on the table. However, 80% of them were vegetables and Lena was a bit sad.

Just then, one of the kitchen maids placed a few specialty meat dishes near Lena.

"I remember that you enjoy eating those dishes, so I had them made especially for you." Madam Yang added.

"Thank you. Auntie always knows me the best." Lena cheerfully dug in, but after knowing that it was made "especially for her," Lena was eating just enough to make it look real.

They ate for a while before the table was cleared. The elders wanted to move to the living area so they can talk some more. Lena excused herself to the bathroom.

"Do you want me to show you where it is?" Eva offered.

"I know where it is."

"Ah.. right. You have probably been here more than me."

"You shouldn't concern with the past no more. After all, you will be living here." Lena hinted.

Eva smiled to which Lena left and head to the bathroom. Once she got inside, she went over the toilet. She hovered over it, put her hand on her throat and puked out all the food she just ate. Just to be on the safe side, Lena decided to do this. She washed her mouth and went back to the living area.
