Genius Club Chapter 42 A Clear Conscience (1/5)
"see me?"
Lin Xian couldn't hold himself any longer.
The Zhao family in the imperial capital is not only rich, but also has a high and powerful position in the true sense.
Brother Wang went through the formalities for so long before and couldn't get it done. As a result, at the New Year's Eve dinner, Uncle Zhao Yingjun made a casual phone call and it was done immediately.
This is just uncle.
In the projection gallery of Zhao Yingjun's personal exhibition hall in the third dream, Lin Xian had already learned that Zhao Yingjun's mother was just a people's teacher. She was very good at studying and knowledgeable, but her family background was only average. The real great one was Zhao Yingjun's father. .
So one can imagine.
Zhao Yingjun's uncle was nothing more than promoted by his brother-in-law... Just being promoted is so powerful, let alone the brother-in-law himself?
Of course, Lin Xian, Gao Yan, the dean of the Longke Academy, and Liu An, the director of the Security Bureau, were all "good brothers" who clap their arms, and they didn't feel that Zhao Yingjun's father had any pressure or anything that he didn't dare to meet.
It's just that he's curious...
Why did Zhao Yingjun's parents want to meet him at this time?
Poke.
Next to him, Yu Xi suddenly poked Lin Xian on the arm:
"No more meat."
She said wearing huge sunglasses.
Lin Xian chuckled and looked at the shelf where the dishes were placed on their table:
"Don't you want some vegetables?"
"Vegetables are fine too," Yu Xi replied.
Lin Xian gave her some tofu, kelp, baby cabbage and the like. These things can withstand eating, and she will be full after finishing this pot.
After serving the little ones.
It’s time for a big reply.
Lin Xian took out a tissue, wiped his hands, and looked at Zhao Yingjun again:
"Your parents... want to see me?"
"Yes."
Zhao Yingjun continued:
"They do want to see you. Mainly my father wants to thank you."
"Thank me?"
Lin Xian became more and more confused the more he listened.
"It all happened a year ago. That time you drove a Bentley and took me over the viaduct."
Zhao Yingjun raised his head and said:
"I remember I told you, right? When I went home for the Chinese New Year that year, I told them about it. They were very worried about me at the time, but after all, I was unscathed and nothing happened. I didn't worry about it for two days. It’s over.”
"My father has always been a person who values friendship very much. He wanted to thank you very much at that time for saving me in such a dangerous situation. But you were very busy at that time, and since I want to thank you, I can’t let you make a special trip to the imperial capital, right? My parents also think this is too impolite and even too arrogant.”
"So he was thinking about taking the opportunity to come to the East China Sea and thank you in person. Unfortunately...he was also very busy last year, and you often traveled on business, so the timing was always unlucky. Although this year I knew you were in the Imperial Capital during the Chinese New Year, but weren’t you assigned to perform a secret mission? I didn’t bother you.”
"My father has always kept this matter in mind. Even though I said several times that I don't need to be so alienated from Lin Xian, he has always been very insistent. He said that he could not help but take such a big risk to save his daughter. I just went through it without saying a word... I always wanted to find a chance to thank you in person. "
Said.
She turned her head and saw Yu Xi finished the drink again.
He stretched out his hand to call to the waiter, and ordered two more bottles to be delivered.
Then he turned around:
"It just happened to happen this time. My mother retired at the age of 55 this year, so my father took a month's leave and said he would take her to Donghai to live here for a month to relax and reunite with the family. "
"My father has been eager to see you for a long time. They will fly to Donghai tomorrow morning. Our family will have dinner out in the evening... If you are free, would you like to come?"
"That's why I went to the office to find you today. My parents asked me to invite you, thinking that the four of us would have a meal together."
"Oh~ That's it."
Lin Xian understood.
Zhao Yingjun did tell herself this on the day he submitted his resignation to her.
Zhao Yingjun said a lot that day.
Naturally, this also includes the change in her father's attitude towards her after he saw the video of flying over the viaduct and Donghai 007, which was always strict and unkind.
Lin Xian especially remembered it.
Zhao's father, who had always denied Zhao Yingjun and was not optimistic about her starting a business, held it in for a long time when Zhao Yingjun left the imperial capital and returned to the East China Sea:
"The cat design is pretty good. Your aunt's daughter likes it very much."
Zhao Yingjun said that this was the first time her father recognized her, even though it was just a trivial recognition and she was not the one who designed the cat... But she was still very happy and told herself with a smile:
"I have to say, Lin Xian... you really saved my life and changed my life. I am indeed lucky to have met you."
Because he felt so guilty on the day he submitted his resignation, Lin Xian still remembers those scenes and words very clearly to this day.
…
"It's really nothing."
Lin Xian smiled politely:
"It's not a big deal in itself. Besides, it's not saving you, right? I was in the car at the time --\u003e\u003e
Come on, and I was the one who was held to the back of the head with a gun by that gangster... I had to find a way to save myself. "
"On the other hand, I chose a radical method like flying over a viaduct to get rid of the gangsters and forcefully pull you into danger... It would be okay if I succeeded, just like now, your father is very grateful to me; but if I failed... How can I face him?"
"It doesn't matter if you fail."
Zhao Yingjun shook his head gently:
"Maybe you don't remember, right? When the gangster showed up at the beginning and held you with a gun, you first turned to the side of the road, and then told the gangster to put me down, and you took him to find Miaoke. ”
"Although the gunman did not agree at that time, he still asked to take me as a hostage and threatened you to continue driving..."
"[But actually from that moment on... I felt that it was no longer important whether I could fly over the viaduct; whether I succeeded in flying over it or failed in failing to fly over it, you were willing to risk your life to save me. I How can I be reluctant to give up my life...to gamble with you?"
She chuckled and rubbed the broken hair on her temples:
"So... it's not just my father, but also my mother, and me. Thank you very much for this. If you have nothing to do tomorrow night, you can really come and have a meal with my parents. Now they There have been great changes, and my views on many things are different from before... I have become much easier to get along with.”
Lin Xian thought for a moment.
According to Jask's schedule, at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, he will go to Zheng Xiangyue's ward at Tunghai University Affiliated Hospital.
He had already planned to meet with him and have a good talk. The first goal was to rescue Angelica, and the rest would be discussed later.
If everything goes well, there will definitely be nothing to do in the evening. You can go to meet Zhao Yingjun's parents and reluctantly accept his father's thanks.
If the negotiation with Jask does not go well... then there is no telling what the situation will be like tomorrow night.
So, it’s better not to agree so happily yet.
It would be too embarrassing if something unexpected happened and he couldn't go there tomorrow night if he agreed now. On the contrary, he would lose Zhao Yingjun's face in front of his parents, making both himself and Zhao Yingjun look quite unreliable.
"Tomorrow night, I really may not have time."
Lin Xian said truthfully:
"So there is no guarantee that I will be able to attend your family gathering."
"That's okay."
Zhao Yingjun didn't care:
"Anyway, my parents will stay in Donghai for a month. When you have time later, we might as well make an appointment to have dinner together."
"There must be nothing wrong with that."
Lin Xian responded directly:
"I'll tell you when I'm sure I have time."
Right.
Zhao Yingjun's parents didn't just come to Donghai for one day. Even if they didn't meet tomorrow night, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Although the other party came in the name of thanking me, I couldn't really be shameless enough to be a guest. At that time, let’s go to meet Zhao Yingjun’s parents in a more formal way, and by the way, bring them some pure West Lake Longjing tea from my hometown as a meeting gift.
Although their lives are certainly not lacking in these tea leaves, it is not surprising for many Li people.
"Let's start eating too, we can't just watch her eat."
Lin Xian pointed to the hot hot pot and motioned for Zhao Yingjun to use his chopsticks:
"Listening to what you said about your parents, it seems that you have been getting along quite well during this period, and your relationship has improved."
"Yes."
Zhao Yingjun picked up some dishes and looked at Lin Xian:
"There are advantages and disadvantages. Before, we didn't talk much because the relationship was not good. Although it felt bad, it was clear and no one was nagging me. Now the relationship is better. I often call them to contact them and even come here specially. Donghai looked at me...but the nagging and preaching followed."
Lin Xian chuckled.
It seems that parents all over the world are the same:
"Do your parents usually nag you? I thought you only talked about some very advanced topics."
"Haha, how is that possible?"
Zhao Yingjun took the two bottles of drinks from the waiter, stood up, placed them next to Yu Xi's plate, then sat back and continued:
"Parents and children all over the world talk about the same things over and over again. At my age, and they have such traditional ideas, the last topic of every conversation will inevitably shift to urging marriage and raising children... "
"My parents got married very young, but had children very late. My parents were already in their thirties when they gave birth to me. It was definitely very late to have children in their time. So you see, now my mother There will be nothing to do after I retire. She pushed me even harder than my father, and she wanted me to give birth to a child for her right away. "
"Hey...so sometimes I miss the time when I had a bad relationship with my parents. At least there weren't so many irritating urgings in my ears. Lin Xian, you should be the same, right? Your parents will also urge you. These?"
"That's for sure."
Thinking of the chat between his mother and Gao Yang during the Chinese New Year last year, Lin Xian couldn't help but laugh:
"Everyone is urging me, including my parents. Even after I graduated from college, they were urging me non-stop. They wanted me to get married immediately and give them grandchildren. But my parents are still relatively young, both under 50 years old, and they usually have other things to do. , It’s just a word of mouth, it’s not very urging.”
Zhao Yingjun turned his head and looked at Yu Xi, who was still lowering his head to eat:
"So sometimes I think, if you are like Yu Xi, it would be nice to have an extra child of your own out of thin air. It saves time on giving birth and raising, and it would be easier to just grow up like this."
"forget it."
--\u003e\u003e
Lin Xian shook his head:
"This feeling is so scary. I think raising children should start from a young age and raise them up bit by bit."
"Furthermore, Brother Wang also said that when children are cute and lovable, it was during those few years when they were young. When they grow up, they are all stubborn. When they get home from school, they will lock themselves in the room and never say a word to her. It’s hard... When I feel this rebellious, I start to miss the beauty of my childhood infinitely.”
"That's right." Zhao Yingjun still looked at Yu Xi:
"But I think Yu Xi is pretty good. She looks very well-behaved, quiet, and lovable. I've also heard a little about the stubborn teenagers you mentioned... I have relatives like this. He is so domineering and full of abstract words on the Internet, which looks really bad.”
I heard this comment.
Lin Xian could only smile and say nothing.
Clever?
Quiet?
Please...
Yu Xi is a Terminator girl from the future.
She can drive a Harley into people at a speed of 100 yards, and then blow up the gas tank of a Mercedes-Benz. The hero never looks back and ignites a raging fire with a zippo lighter;
She can also hold a Smith \u0026 Wesson revolver with huge recoil in one hand and hit people with a bang, and she can also fight another Terminator girl for three hundred rounds in the moonlight with a sharp knife;
You can use any strong adjective to describe her, but you can't use cute and quiet.
Soon after.
The three of them finished eating.
Prepare to return to the hospital to get the paternity test results.
Lin Xian discovered that after this meal together, Zhao Yingjun really took care of Yu Xi and was very considerate in many details.
It seems that she really likes children.
At this time in the hospital, most of the departments were off work, leaving only the emergency department and service desk, as well as the comrades working overtime in the laboratory department.
Lin Xian, Zhao Yingjun, and Yu Xi went directly to the service desk and took out two reports.
They are the paternity test reports of Lin Xian and Yu Xi, and the paternity test reports of Zhao Yingjun and Yu Xi.
The report is very simple. It is actually just a piece of paper.
Just for the sake of confidentiality, it was sealed with thick paper and is now kept in two people's books.
Zhao Yingjun looked at Lin Xian:
"Are you nervous?"
"A little bit."
Lin Xian held the unopened paternity test report in his hand, feeling that he was still a little nervous at this "lucky" moment.
"Then let's look at mine first."
Zhao Yingjun said it extremely easily.
She tore off the disposable sealing strip without even looking at it. She directly opened the inner page and held it in front of Lin Xian's eyes. Her expression was very confident:
"Look, does it have nothing to do with it?"
Lin Xian looked at the report stretched out by Zhao Yingjun.
I saw a line of bold words on it——
[Does not conform to genetic rules and excludes parent-child relationship. 】
He chuckled inexplicably and looked at Zhao Yingjun:
"You're quite confident."
"Of course."
Zhao Yingjun smiled slightly:
"Because I have a clear conscience."
Lin Xian lowered his head, looked at his report, and tore off the disposable seal.
Since Zhao Yingjun has nothing to do with Yu Xi.
Then I probably have nothing to do with Yu Xi, so why should I be nervous?
"If you want to say that..."
Lin Xian didn't read his report and held it directly in front of Zhao Yingjun:
"Then I must have a clear conscience."
Zhao Yingjun looked at Lin Xian's report. There was also a line of bold words on it——
[Does not conform to genetic rules and excludes parent-child relationship. 】
"cut."
She said disdainfully:
"Then what on earth are you busy with today?"
Lin Xian turned the report over and looked at it.
fine.
No happy father!
It seems that I really thought too much before...
"I just gave it a try, mainly because I wanted to see what the legendary DNA paternity test is all about."
"Your thirst for knowledge is really strong." Zhao Yingjun complained: "I hope you will never need this knowledge."
"I'd like to lend you some good words."
…
After asking driver Xiao Li to take Zhao Yingjun home, Lin Xian and Yu Xi went to a five-star hotel and booked a suite.
The suite is large in size and has several independent rooms, all with private bathrooms. It is very suitable for accommodation like Lin Xian and Yu Xi.
After confirming that Yu Xi had no blood relationship with himself or Zhao Yingjun Huangque, Lin Xian put down his worries and began to concentrate on thinking about tomorrow's plan.
Yu Xi hasn't started washing yet.
She was still wearing her daytime clothes, with a short ponytail, and walked next to Lin Xian:
"Have you figured out how to kill Jask tomorrow?"
"not yet."
Lin Xian shook his head:
"What I'm mainly thinking about right now is... how should I rescue Angelica."
Yu Xi blinked her bright eyes.
She had already taken off her black contact lenses and sunglasses, and her crystal blue pupils were reflected in the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at Lin Xian like a ghost:
"You have to weigh it carefully, Lin Xian. Once you miss this opportunity to kill Jask in the Dragon Kingdom, maybe again--\u003e\u003e
There will never be such a favorable time, place, and people. "
"You may think that my proposal is rather cold-blooded, but my first priority in executing the mission is to protect your life and safety. I can't consider Angelica as much as I do. I hope you can understand that you are someone who is worth protecting by the fate of time and space for future humans... But Angelica is not, she is just an ordinary person who is insignificant to history and the future."
"Think about it another way. Whether Angelica is dead or alive has actually been determined long ago. No matter what you talk to Jask about tomorrow, you can't change Angelica's fate. But you are different... If you are eventually killed by the time and space assassin sent by Jask, then mankind, the future, and everything will be finished."
"Now is the best time to resolve the crisis. As long as you can find a way to make an appointment with Jask alone, we can set up a trap, create a trap, find a way to kill him, and then prevent the closed loop of the time and space assassin from forming and eliminate him."
"If I don't use this method, I really can't think of a second way to get rid of the time and space assassin. Lin Xian, you really can't hesitate any longer, Jask Jask is the one who sent the Spacetime Assassin to kill you. Even if you negotiate with him sincerely, won't he lie to you? "
"Believe me... Killing Jask in Longguo is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. Now the Spacetime Assassin has been wandering in the ocean outside Donghai City. She probably encountered trouble and can't sneak in temporarily."
"Now it's a race against time. If you can kill Jask before the Spacetime Assassin enters Donghai City and meets Jask, then your greatest danger will be lifted, and my mission and mission will be completed. It's hard for me to imagine how bad it will be if I don't seize this opportunity, let Jask escape, and let the Spacetime Assassin continue to hunt you down... "
"If I can protect you all the time, it's okay, but no one can guarantee what will happen in the future. What if one day I suddenly disappear, or I am defeated by the enemy... There is no one who can protect you as well as the Spacetime Assassin, and no one can always tell you the location of the Spacetime Assassin. Lin Xian, how should you deal with it?"
...
Listening to Yu Xi's words.
Lin Xian turned his head.
He retracted his gaze from the night view of Donghai City and looked at Yu Xi in the room:
"Don't worry, I know what I am doing."
Yu Xi nodded:
"I hope you can get rid of Jask and the space-time assassin as soon as possible. I also want your friend Angelica to be safe... But we must put the overall situation first and not let Angelica's matter affect our plan to kill Jask."
"Don't be soft-hearted, Lin Xian. If I could kill Jask for you, I would have gone there early, but this is a task only you can accomplish; just like killing Kevin Walker, kill Jask cleanly and neatly. Being kind to the enemy is cruel to yourself."
After that.
Yu Xi went into her room to wash and sleep.
Lin Xian looked at Yu Xi's closed door and thought with his chin in his hand.
It's not that he couldn't understand Yu Xi's painstaking advice.
It's just...
During this period.
He always felt that there was something, something very important that he hadn't figured out.
It seemed that he had overlooked something crucial.
So that the current dilemma was confusing.
What is it?
He thought of the last lesson that Huang Que had taught him with his life in Copenhagen;
The two questions and one request he left for himself before his death;
The address of Kevin Walker received from Jask, and the digital life Turing who wanted to kill Kevin Walker;
The time-space assassin who killed Huang Que in front of him, didn't even look at him, but pursued him relentlessly in Donghai and the United States;
[I always feel that something is wrong. ]
[I always feel that this is a huge puzzle, but the most important piece is missing. ]
What is it?
Lin Xian turned around and stood by the French window.
Looking at the bright moonlight in the sky, and then looking at
"What is it?"
Lin Xian asked himself:
"Where is the missing piece of the puzzle...?"
...
In the Tesla Super Factory in Lingang New District, Donghai.
"Jask, this is different from what we agreed."
In an internal building.
Angelica was once again under house arrest. The two familiar female bodyguards and Jask appeared in the living room together, announcing the end of her journey to freedom.
"Jask, you clearly said that you would take me to see Lin Xian, so I came to Longguo with you."
Angelica glared at Jask:
"You went back on your word so quickly?"
"Don't be so excited, Angelica."
Jask smiled slightly and put the small refrigerator in his arms in the corner of the living room.
Dusting off the dust on his hands:
"I've said before that I'm a man of my words. I'll naturally take you to see Lin Xian and explain everything. But... not tomorrow morning, but tomorrow night."
Angelica narrowed her eyes:
"What do you mean? Tomorrow morning at the Affiliated Hospital of Tunghai University, when you deliver the boat ticket to the little girl named Zheng Xiangyue... you're going to see Lin Xian alone?"
"Why don't you take me with you? Are you going to use me as a bargaining chip, as bait, to deceive Lin Xian?"
Jask shook his head:
"No..."
He whispered:
"Maybe there are indeed some misunderstandings between Lin Xian and me... but to be honest, I have no hostility towards Lin Xian. It's just..."
He lowered his head again and looked at the small white square refrigerator in the corner of the living room:
"It's just that I'm only one piece away from figuring out everything."
"And this piece of puzzle will be delivered to me tomorrow..."
"automatically!"
