Chapter 167: Chapter 12 Fastball_2 Chapter 167: Chapter 12 Fastball_2 Of course, I still can’t take this lightly.
As far as I can tell, Lin Xian didn’t know why he was being targeted by the other party, the only clue he could think of…
was the manuscript he had given to Xu Yun.
But that manuscript had long been destroyed by Xu Yun, so by all accounts, I shouldn’t have been exposed, so what could the other party be using to pinpoint me under these premises?
Lin Xian couldn’t figure it out.
After settling Liu Feng and leaving him with a large sum of research funding, Lin Xian left Shanxi and returned to Donghai City.
After observing for these past few days, Lin Xian was quite reassured about Liu Feng.
He was in a reasonably good state, having turned his grief into strength and fully immersed himself in the research of the cosmic constant.
After all, this meteor shower had compensated for Li Qiqi’s regrets, fulfilling her lifelong wish, which is why her death did not hit Liu Feng as hard as it did in the original history.
Lin Xian also cautioned Liu Feng to keep quiet about the research on the cosmic constant, whether or not it yielded results, and not to disclose anything until he had finished dealing with affairs in Donghai, after which he would set up the experiment before discussing further.
Liu Feng was quite composed.
He openly stated that all the funding came from Lin Xian, so naturally, he would follow Lin Xian’s lead; his only goal was—
to somehow prove that the cosmic constant was correct.
Just as Lin Xian had said, even if it could only be correct once, that would be the best way to repay Li Qiqi.
The airplane turbines roared to life.
The Boeing 737 left the ground of Shanxi Province, heading eastward, flying towards the international metropolis of Donghai City.
After landing, Lin Xian hurried to MX Company to deal with the backlog of tasks.
His “disappearance” this time had indeed been too long…
but then, who would rush him since he was the company’s big daddy?
Zhao Yingjun had also only inquired once, and after learning that he had not met with an accident, she let him handle things in his own way.
Lin Xian planned to focus on work for two days to handle the company’s affairs, and once he could relax, he would dream and meet CC to continue infiltrating New Donghai City in search of a safe.
The process of infiltrating New Donghai City in the second dream was really too complicated…
If he missed the storyline of the three-blade thief, he couldn’t join Lian Gang, so the timing of the dream entry was very strict.
Moreover, before joining Lian Gang, he still needed to persuade CC in the small woods of Lee Cheng’s backyard.
This meant that if he wanted to successfully infiltrate New Donghai City, he had to start dreaming from noon:
“This is really too troublesome.”
While reviewing the accumulated files in his office, Lin Xian lamented that there was no shortage of annoying matters, whether in the dream or in reality.
On MX Company’s part, there was actually no longer any need to continue staying.
Since the invitation was a fake, Zhao Yingjun clearly had nothing to do with the Genius Club, which was simply a misunderstanding.
When the time was right…
he would resign from MX Company.
He was not worried about being unable to meet Huang Que because of this.
Quite clearly, Huang Que was very eager to have him join the Genius Club.
Although he did not know her motives, Lin Xian instinctively felt that when he needed her, Huang Que would definitely take the initiative to find him.
let’s just keep going as scheduled.
Everything will wait until the start of my “Catch Me If You Can”…
to see who slips up first.
As he reviewed the documents, a WeChat notification sounded on his phone.
Lin Xian picked it up and saw that it was a message from Tang Xin.
Tang Xin: Hi Lin Xian~ I heard from Gao Yang that you’re back from Shanxi, hehe, do you have time tonight?
I want to invite you to dinner.
It looks like she should already be settled in Donghai, and must have taken a position at the research institute where Xu Yun was.
The dinner with Tang Xin was something he had agreed to at the alumni meeting, and it wouldn’t be proper to refuse.
Lin Xian replied directly:
“Let me be the host, as a courtesy.”
In fact, Lin Xian had planned to find a time to invite Gao Yang, Tang Xin, and Zhou Duanyun for a meal altogether.
After all, since both classmates were coming to develop their careers in Donghai City and he and Gao Yang had been here so long, the least he could do was to welcome them properly.
After agreeing on the time and place with Tang Xin, Lin Xian called Gao Yang.
But unfortunately, Gao Yang said he had to work overtime and couldn’t make it.
“Are you really working overtime or just pretending?” Based on Lin Xian’s understanding of Gao Yang, this guy was probably lying.
“Hey, why are you so clueless!” Gao Yang said indignantly:
“If she specifically asked you out, I’d just be a third wheel.
Wouldn’t you be afraid that Tang Xin would stab me with a fork?
Even if it’s pretend overtime, I have to make it a real overtime tonight!”
With that, Gao Yang hung up the phone.
tonight’s dinner will have to be just Tang Xin and me.
Lin Xian wasn’t a fool.
Of course, he could tell that Tang Xin liked him.
But that was also something he found puzzling…
We were just classmates for a few days in high school, was I really that unforgettable?
Let’s see what Tang Xin has to say tonight.
It was the same Western restaurant near Zhao Yingjun’s place, with good class and taste, so Lin Xian directly made the arrangement here.
“The taste is really good.”
After tasting the signature caviar, Tang Xin looked at Lin Xian and giggled with a smile:
“It’s much better than the Western food abroad.”
“That means it’s not authentic here,” Lin Xian laughed.
“It’s because it’s not authentic that it’s delicious!” Tang Xin was in a good mood today, dressed very beautifully.
Her makeup was exquisite, her clothes were carefully chosen, and she had changed into high heels.
She must have gone home to get ready after finishing work at the research institute before coming to the appointment, unlike Lin Xian…
He came straight after work, dressed casually.
