Chapter 110 The Little Mermaid

“If I could, I really want to kill Jask for you, even if it means sacrificing my life.”

Yu Xi looked at Lin Xian:

“After all, the mission I came across to fulfill is to protect you. And it’s very obvious that only killing Jask and destroying the closed loop that has already occurred can truly harm that time assassin, and fundamentally eliminate all hidden dangers and protect your safety.”

“But it’s a pity… I can’t ignore the laws of time and space like that time assassin. She can attack and harm the humans of this timeline, but I can’t. Apart from being able to harm time assassins who also came from the future, I can’t kill anyone from this era.”

“Therefore, Lin Xian, the person who can kill Jask… is only you.”

She pursed her lips:

“This is something only you can do. I can’t shoot Jask or harm him, otherwise, it will trigger a forced avoidance at the level of obliteration. So if one day, there really is a battle between you and Jask… all I can do is help you hold off the time assassin. This bullet to kill Jask must be fired by you.”

Listening to Yu Xi’s words, Lin Xian smiled and shook his head:

“But we won’t have that kind of opportunity.”

“The real world isn't a Hollywood movie, nor is it a Western cowboy duel. Jask will never give me a 1v1 chance to face him. He is the richest man in the world, after all. He didn’t bring bodyguards with him before because he wasn’t aware of the danger.”

“But now, he has sent a time assassin to kill me, and he doesn’t know what intelligence he obtained from Angelica about me… Unless he is an idiot, he will definitely strengthen the security around him. We have absolutely no chance to attack him.”

“To put it bluntly, the difficulty of killing a world's richest man is not much lower than killing a national president. At least we certainly don't have this opportunity in the United States. Even if we did, we would definitely not be able to get out unscathed… Wouldn't that be a lose-lose situation, with no one benefiting?”

Lin Xian smiled helplessly.

What Yu Xi said made sense.

Killing Jask might really solve the time assassin problem directly from the perspective of cause-and-effect logic and historical closed loops.

From the moment Jask dies, an irreversible anchor point will form. At some point in the future, there will definitely no longer be a future Jask who sends the time assassin back to the present in 2024.

The existence of a future Jask, for Yu Xi, is already locked in, it is established history, and it can never be changed.

Therefore, Yu Xi can never kill Jask. This is a time paradox that cannot be allowed to occur. Once Yu Xi tries to change the established history for her, the laws of time and space will immediately intervene and forcibly avoid her obliteration.

But he is different.

This piece of history that is already locked in for Yu Xi is a future that can be rewritten at will for him.

He can naturally easily kill Jask, can prevent Jask from living into the future, and can also prevent the future Jask from sending the time assassin back to the past, directly ending this slightly occurring future story.

Lin Xian picked up his phone, reopened the Twitter app, and entered Elon Jask’s name.

Although Angelica's Twitter hadn't been updated for several days.

But Jask's Twitter should still be updated at a high intensity.

The page refreshed…

Sure enough!

Just a little while ago, Jask also posted a Twitter update saying that he had already boarded a plane and taken off, flying to Donghai City in Long Country (China); he was preparing to personally deliver the ticket to fly to the moon to the tenth lunar passenger he announced earlier—Long Country (China) girl Zheng Xiangyue.

There were many comments below.

Some praised him, some said he was putting on a show, all sorts of things.

Yu Xi saw that Lin Xian hadn’t spoken for a long time, so she jumped off the chair opposite him, leaned over, and looked at Lin Xian’s phone screen.

Naturally, she also saw the itinerary that Jask had posted:

“Lin Xian, I think this is a good opportunity.”

Yu Xi said:

“Long Country (China), especially in Donghai City, you are much more familiar with it than Jask. If we really want to attack Jask, it will definitely be safer in Long Country (China) than in the United States.”

“Although killing Jask in Donghai City is also very difficult, at least it's simpler than in the United States. I have a good idea, Lin Xian. You can think of a way to meet Jask in a safe, official setting, and then find a reasonable excuse to invite him out alone… to a deserted place, and then attack him.”

Lin Xian turned his head to look at Yu Xi:

“Are you thinking too simply? Let's not talk about other aspects of the problem for now. What things or intelligence do I have that Jask would be interested in? What kind of temptation would make Jask willingly come to a remote place to meet me alone, knowing the danger?”

“However… you’re right about one thing.”

Lin Xian chuckled:

“Now, we really don’t need to stay in the United States any longer. Kevin Walker’s matter has been resolved, and it is now clear that the time assassin was sent by Jask to kill me.”

“Since the source is Jask, we want to find a way to make an issue out of him. What’s more… originally, I left Donghai City for abroad to avoid this time assassin; I mistakenly thought at the time because of what happened in Copenhagen that the time assassin couldn’t attack me abroad. But clearly, looking at it now, that deduction was ridiculously wrong.”

“Before I came to the United States, I had already entrusted Director Liu An of the National Security Agency to help me investigate and capture the time assassin… Although the time assassin is not in the country now, presumably Director Liu An will definitely notify various customs entry departments to strictly guard against it.”

“Long Country (China) is different from the United States. We have an advanced Skynet system there. As long as you enter the time assassin's appearance into the suspect album… the network of surveillance cameras will definitely make that time assassin have nowhere to hide. As long as she dares to appear in Donghai City, whether she crosses the ocean by ship or by plane… the Long Country (China) police will definitely be able to catch her.”

“That’s for the best.” Yu Xi straightened up:

“If the police comrades can really catch the time assassin, that would solve a big problem for us instead.”

“In that case, let’s prepare to return to Donghai.”

Yu Xi took out a Smith & Wesson m500 revolver from her pocket:

“Long Country (China) is a country with strict gun control, so the safety factor is very high, but if our ultimate goal is to kill Jask… it’s still better to have a gun.”

“You said your marksmanship is very accurate, so when you really face Jask, you must have a handgun to be invincible.”

“So, Lin Xian, let’s split up. You take a normal plane back to Donghai, and I’ll use my way to return to Donghai. Although it will be a little slower in terms of time… but I can guarantee that I will bring the handgun into Donghai City for you to use when the time comes.”

Lin Xian raised his head and looked at Yu Xi suspiciously:

“You can bring the handgun in?”

Yu Xi nodded:

“Of course, not through normal means and methods, so we need to split up.”

“No.”

Lin Xian refused decisively.

Yellow Oriole had told him to [not leave Yu Xi].

Since he couldn't understand the reason, he might as well obediently listen:

“We can’t separate. Don’t forget, that time assassin is not restricted by the laws of time and space, and instead, she will make me be subject to forced avoidance, which leads to me being definitely killed if I really face her alone. We can’t afford this risk.”

“Okay, if you insist.”

Yu Xi still listened to Lin Xian very well, and didn’t refute anything:

“Then I’ll go get some of Angelica’s gold jewelry.”

As she said that, she walked straight to Angelica’s bedroom:

“When we get to Donghai City, I can try to find some connections and see if we can get some weapons by paving the way with money. In this black market, gold and jewelry are much more useful than money in cash.”

“Is this also what you were taught in those spy training courses?” Lin Xian asked.

Yu Xi had already entered Angelica’s bedroom, and Lin Xian didn’t get a reply.

…

A few hours later, Lin Xian and Yu Xi also boarded a flight to Donghai, Long Country (China), which marked the end of their trip to the United States.

Yu Xi’s small body sank into the semi-enclosed first-class seat, almost invisible. She didn’t make a sound and was probably resting.

Lin Xian looked down through the airplane window.

The brightly lit land was getting farther and farther away. Finally, he was going back to his country.

Looking back at this trip to the United States…

He didn’t avoid disaster, but accidentally entered the enemy’s lair.

But it wasn’t all bad news.

At least, he solved the problem of Kevin Walker, and the pressure on him was instantly reduced by half.

As the strongest hacker on the planet, Kevin Walker was much more oppressive than Jask.

Without the super artificial intelligence VV to help him defend himself, Lin Xian always felt unsafe everywhere, as if he was under the enemy’s surveillance at all times.

Fortunately, Kevin Walker has now been killed by him, and even his corpse was burned by the digital life Turing. He should be completely dead.

The digital life Turing said that it wanted to be a fair and just observer in this game.

Lin Xian didn’t know how to understand this sentence.

Analyzing it literally, Turing should not stand on his opposite side. Of course, it clearly wouldn’t become his teammate either. It should be absolutely neutral.

However, digital lives are, after all, human in nature and have huge differences from artificial intelligence. Therefore, Lin Xian couldn’t guarantee that Turing’s ideas would not change in the future. After all, people are fickle, and the digital life Turing, strictly speaking, was once a person, and now, it is still a person.

“At least Turing should be fair and just now, that’s enough.”

Lin Xian muttered to himself.

Having one less enemy is better than having one more enemy.

Currently, there are three enemies he has to face—

The time assassin, Jask, and the mysterious old man in the Fourth Dream.

He hoped that this time, when he returned to his base camp in Donghai, he could solve the problems of the time assassin and Jask at the same time.

Would he kill Jask with his own hands?

Lin Xian wasn’t sure yet.

It wasn’t that he was hesitant or afraid of anything.

The time assassin sent by the other party had already been killed in front of his face… This behavior was no different from Kevin Walker, who hijacked the space plane to hit him in the first place. What was there for him to be softhearted about?

I will not offend others unless I am offended; if anyone offends me, I will punish them even if they are far away.

This has always been Lin Xian’s way of doing things.

Especially at this critical moment of life and death, just like he didn’t hesitate to instantly kill Kevin Walker, as long as he could find an opportunity, he would also not hesitate to shoot the bullet into Jask’s head.

But…

Angelica.

Currently, Lin Xian knew nothing about whether Angelica was alive or dead, where she was, or what her condition was.

After all, he and Angelica were partners who fought together.

Now that the other party was in trouble, he couldn’t ignore it.

Therefore.

Taking advantage of the fact that Donghai City was relatively safe in all aspects, Lin Xian planned to meet Jask first.

If he could sort things out, rescue Angelica, or even redeem her… Lin Xian didn’t mind reaching some kind of deal with Jask.

In the end, it was because Angelica completely trusted him and wanted to get intelligence out of him that she fell into Jask’s clutches.

He should be responsible for her.

In short, it was still necessary to return to Donghai City to meet Jask and talk.

“I hope Angelica is safe.”

Lin Xian closed his eyes.

He recalled the words Angelica had once said:

“Do you know why I trust you unconditionally like this? Even if you are now in trouble and have caused trouble, and you actually have no bargaining chips to negotiate with me… I still believe in you.”

“It’s really not because of anything else, it’s just because you are a friend recognized by Ji Lin, so… I will always believe in you.”

No matter what Lin Xian thought of Ji Lin or his position.

But Lin Xian had already regarded Angelica as a companion:

“I will rescue you.”

He said softly:

“If I can’t rescue you… then that will be Jask’s death date, and I will settle the new and old scores together!”

…

More than ten hours later.

The plane landed at Pudong International Airport.

Driver Xiao Li had already driven a brand-new business car to wait in the VIP pick-up area.

“President Lin!”

Even though it had only been a few days since they last met, Lin Xian and Xiao Li had experienced such thrilling events and could be considered friends in need. Xiao Li was very excited to see Lin Xian walking over, and jumped out of the car from afar and trotted over:

“Come, come, President Lin, let me take your luggage. Look—that Elfa over there belongs to MX Company. President Zhao borrowed it for us. She said that after you come back from the United States, it will probably take some time to buy and choose a car, so she borrowed one of MX Company’s Elfas for us to drive first.”

“Sure enough, President Zhao is still so thoughtful. She said that you are used to sitting in this car, and you might not be comfortable sitting in other cars. Anyway, MX Company has a lot of Elfas, so she told us to just drive them first and return them whenever we get a new car.”

“Zhao Yingjun knows I went to the United States?” Lin Xian asked, looking at Xiao Li.

“She knows, President Lin.”

Xiao Li took the suitcase and pushed it forward, saying:

“Such a big thing happened to our car, I have to go back and report it to Brother Wang, right? But President Zhao only knows that our car broke down, but she doesn’t know specifically why it broke down. Brother Wang didn’t want President Zhao to worry too much, so he said it was rear-ended by someone and sent to the repair shop for repairs.”

“As for your trip to the United States, Brother Wang didn’t say much, only that you went there to discuss some business cooperation and would be back in a few days. President Zhao didn’t ask in detail, because she was mainly worried about whether you were injured in the rear-end collision. After knowing that you were fine and on a business trip, she didn’t care about anything else.”

Lin Xian nodded:

“That’s good.”

Brother Wang handled things as always, so skillfully and thoughtfully, knowing what to say and what not to say.

“Huh?”

Only then did Xiao Li realize that there was a tagalong following Lin Xian!

It was a teenage girl.

She was wearing a large baseball cap, and a pitifully short ponytail popped out from behind the hat. The long brim of the hat was pressed down very low, almost obscuring her face.

“Pres… President Lin, who is this girl?”

Only then did Xiao Li realize his negligence. He had thought that Lin Xian had come back alone… because this young and promising boss was always alone except when he had dinner with President Zhao Yingjun.

Who would have thought that he would actually bring a teenage female companion today!

“Ah, her.”

Lin Xian used his right hand to pull Yu Xi behind him to the right, using his body to block her. Then he pressed down on her baseball cap to prevent Xiao Li from seeing her eyes:

“She’s a cousin from a distant relative’s family in the United States. I stayed at their house these few days in the United States and caused them a lot of trouble. Now that I’m going back to China, she said she’d come back with me to play for a few days.”

“Oh, oh, oh! Welcome, welcome! Little sister, let me carry your bag for you!”

Xiao Li eagerly wanted to take Yu Xi’s satchel.

But Yu Xi flicked her arm, refusing him.

The bag didn’t look big, but it was actually very heavy, filled with jewelry and gold ornaments taken from Angelica’s house.

In Yu Xi’s words… this was called hard currency on the black market.

Afterwards.

The three of them got into the car.

Xiao Li turned his head from the driver’s seat:

“President Lin, where are we going first?”

“Let’s go to the glasses store first,” Lin Xian replied softly.

After half an hour, Xiao Li navigated to a shopping mall full of glasses stores. There were plenty of sources here, with everything available.

Lin Xian took Yu Xi’s hand, entered the shopping mall, bought several pairs of the blackest contact lenses, and then bought several pairs of the darkest sunglasses.

Then he took Yu Xi to the stairwell and handed her the contact lens set:

“Put on these contact lenses. These are the blackest ones and should be able to cover the blue light in your eyes to some extent.”

Yu Xi was stunned, looking at the plastic clip and suction head in her hand:

“What is this thing?”

“Contact lenses, also called colored contacts.”

Yu Xi tilted her head:

“How do you use this?”

Lin Xian suddenly understood:

“In your era, there shouldn’t be any nearsighted people anymore, right?”

Yu Xi nodded:

“Nearsighted and farsighted glasses have long been eliminated. Only decorative sunglasses and plano lenses are left… As for colored contacts, are they the kind of cosmetics that change the color of the pupils? We have more advanced methods in our era. Unlike this thing… can this really be put inside the eyes?”

“Forget it, I’ll do it.”

Lin Xian knew that Yu Xi wasn’t good at it, so he directly took action himself, holding her eyelids and putting two pure black contact lenses on her eyeballs.

“How does it feel?” Lin Xian asked.

Yu Xi blinked quickly:

“I don’t feel anything.”

“That’s right, which means the effect is good. Lift your head up and let me see.”

Yu Xi obediently lifted her head.

Lin Xian looked at the eyes that were covered by the black contact lenses but still radiated a faint blue light… He felt that it was even more conspicuous and eye-catching.

“Put on these sunglasses.”

Lin Xian also put a pair of pure black large sunglasses on Yu Xi’s face.

That’s better.

The weird blue light in those pupils was finally invisible, which was perfect.

“Very good.”

Lin Xian nodded:

“How do you feel?”

“I feel like I’m going blind…” Yu Xi shook her head from side to side:

“The vision is so poor, it’s dark and I can hardly see anything.”

“Bear with it,”

Lin Xian smiled helplessly:

“When I reported the case to the director of the National Security Agency before, I specifically described the characteristics of the time assassin’s blue eyes, so we should cause as little trouble as possible when it is not necessary. Besides, the two of us can’t be separated, so we will inevitably be asked questions. If people really see your blue glowing eyes, I won’t be able to explain it.”

“Why can’t we separate?”

Yu Xi, wearing huge sunglasses, raised her head:

“The time assassin is still in the United States and hasn’t moved closer to Long Country (China)… so your situation is still very safe, and you don’t need to be so careful.”

“It’s better to be careful than sorry.”

Lin Xian firmly believed in Yellow Oriole’s selection:

“In short, let’s not separate if we can, and stay together as much as possible.”

After coming out of the shopping mall.

The two of them boarded the Elfa business car again and went to the Rhine Company Building.

There were two reasons for not going home.

First, Lin Xian felt that his home was not safe enough. Relatively speaking, there were more people in the Rhine Building, which was located in a commercial area, and there were also more security and police.

Second, his Genius Club invitation and the gold badge symbolizing his membership status were locked in the safe in his office; he had been away for so long and felt a little uneasy, so he wanted to take a look.

The business car drove on the elevated expressway.

Xiao Li drove while reporting:

“President Lin, Director Liu An came to Donghai a few days ago in person, mobilized all the surveillance, and also called me over to identify the blue-eyed teenage killer.”

“Many photos were taken very clearly, so Director Liu An directly asked the police to enter the facial recognition data into the Skynet surveillance system. As long as any roadside camera captures her, it will immediately alert the police.”

“But everything has been calm these days, and there have been no discoveries. Director Liu An told me that the teenage killer may have gone abroad with you, and reminded me to be careful. But your phone has been turned off, and I haven’t been able to get through to you.”

Lin Xian listened and nodded silently:

“That’s good, at least the blue-eyed girl’s appearance is in the criminal identification database. It’s impossible for her to enter the country through normal channels… Even if she wants to return to Donghai from abroad, she will have to put in some effort.”

Lin Xian was relatively at ease now.

Because the current situation was different from when he had rushed abroad before.

Now he had Yu Xi, a bodyguard who was on par with the time assassin, and Yu Xi was also a human radar who could know the time assassin’s distance and direction at any time. In addition, the time assassin’s facial data had been entered into the Skynet system.

With triple defense, although he still couldn’t be careless, at least he felt somewhat secure.

After getting off the elevated bridge and passing a public elementary school, they quickly arrived at the Rhine Company Building.

Lin Xian and Yu Xi took the direct elevator from the underground parking lot to Lin Xian’s office.

Lin Xian sat in the boss’s chair, turned on the computer, and pointed to the sofa next to him:

“Yu Xi, you can rest on the side for a while. I’m going to look up some information.”

Yu Xi nodded.

She picked up Andersen’s Fairy Tales from the corner of the desk and sat on the sofa:

“Can I lift up my sunglasses?”

“You can.”

Lin Xian reminded:

“But if someone comes in later, or we go out somewhere, you need to push down your sunglasses in time and don’t let others see your eyes.”

After getting permission, Yu Xi pushed up her sunglasses and started reading Andersen’s Fairy Tales.

Because his computer was still starting up.

Lin Xian was bored and stared at Yu Xi.

As a result, he discovered…

Yu Xi’s reading speed was ridiculously fast!

The original unabridged Andersen’s Fairy Tales had a small font, and each page had a lot of content. Moreover, because of the translation, it was obscure and difficult to understand, making it very awkward to read.

But even so.

Yu Xi’s little hand was like a sewing machine, going back and forth, swish… swish… swish… swish… She would mechanically turn a page in a few seconds, and then scan it from top to bottom before turning another page.

Lin Xian was a little surprised.

Reading had become a physical activity.

“Are you… reading in quantum mode?” Lin Xian asked.

“No.”

Yu Xi replied while flipping through the book:

“That’s how we read, we just read faster.”

“Can you remember it?”

“I can remember it clearly.”

Listening to Yu Xi’s answer, Lin Xian couldn’t help but recall the conversation he had with VV, the intelligent central brain of Rhine City, in the Third Dream.

At that time, VV said that she couldn't find anyone as stupid as Lin Xian in the entire Rhine Sky City.

When the children of Sky City were born, they would be simultaneously injected with drugs to develop their brains, and they all had photographic memories and excellent memories.

Looking at it this way, it was not surprising that Yu Xi had such abilities.

Music started playing.

Lin Xian’s computer had finished starting up.

He ignored Yu Xi and concentrated on looking up information, checking Jask’s itinerary for his trip to Long Country (China).

This was not difficult information to find.

As a Twitter maniac, Jask really posted updates about every little thing, so Lin Xian quickly found Jask’s itinerary for this trip to Long Country (China).

Tomorrow, April 26th at 10 am, Jask would be accompanied by Donghai officials to the inpatient department of Donghai University Affiliated Hospital to give Zheng Xiangyue a ticket for a trip to the moon.

The day after tomorrow, April 27th, he would inspect and guide the work at the Donghai Tesla Super Factory.

The day after that, April 28th, he would go to the Imperial Capital to attend the Trade Promotion Association and meet with Long Country (China) officials.

The schedule was quite tight.

Lin Xian inexplicably felt that the reason why some people were geniuses might be because their energy far surpassed that of ordinary people.

Like Jask, he not only had to busy himself with work, but also had to deal with the time assassin, time particles, the laws of time and space, and the Genius Club.

He was truly a time management master.

However…

These things had nothing to do with him.

Lin Xian was only concerned about two things now.

The time assassin and Angelica, and clearly, both of these things were related to Jask.

He would also go to the Donghai University Affiliated Hospital tomorrow morning, to Zheng Xiangyue’s ward, to meet Jask and chat.

If he could solve the problem, then he would solve the problem;

If he couldn’t solve the problem… then, as Yu Xi said, he would solve the person who caused the problem.

After taking a few more glances at Jask’s itinerary.

After memorizing it.

Lin Xian leaned back, rested on the boss’s chair, and looked at Yu Xi on the sofa.

Snap.

In that short 10 minutes, Yu Xi had finished reading the entire Andersen’s Fairy Tales, closing the last page.

“Finished reading?” Lin Xian asked.

The hamster-like short ponytail nodded:

“These are stories that we haven’t seen in our time.”

After saying that, Yu Xi paused:

“It’s hard to say whether we have Andersen’s Fairy Tales in our time, it’s just that I’ve never seen them. The things I’ve read the most since I was a child are all kinds of skill books, textbooks, and spy knowledge.”

Lin Xian chuckled:

“Is there any particular story that you like?”

“The Little Mermaid.”

Yu Xi said without hesitation:

“I think this story is very beautiful. I like it very much.”

It was Lin Xian’s turn to be stunned this time.

He didn’t expect…

The fairy tale story that Yu Xi liked the most was actually the same one as Yellow Oriole and Zhao Yingjun.

He also recalled his irresponsible guess before…

He pursed his lips:

“Have you heard of the story of Farewell My Concubine?”

“No,” Yu Xi shook her head:

“But I heard people say that it’s the story of Xiang Yu and Yu Ji. I don’t know the specific details of the story.”

“Ah, the story itself is not important.”

Lin Xian waved his hand:

“I thought that’s where your name came from. I haven’t asked you yet, why are you called Yu Xi? Is there any special meaning to it?”

“I don’t know.”

Yu Xi’s ponytail on the back of her head shook cutely again:

“When I knew my name was Yu Xi, others told me. I don’t know why, and I don’t know who gave me this name.”

…

Lin Xian let out a long breath.

This was also why he had speculated so boldly before… whether Yu Xi might be Yellow Oriole’s daughter, or Zhao Yingjun’s daughter in a certain timeline.

Because.

Yellow Oriole liked Yu Ji in the story of Farewell My Concubine very much!

She had said on the space plane that Xiang Yu was not the hero, but Yu Ji was.

So if Yellow Oriole would give her daughter the name Yu Xi… Lin Xian really wouldn’t be surprised at all.

Recalling again that he had a suspected husband-and-wife relationship with Yellow Oriole in a certain timeline.

Wasn’t this…

The worry of suddenly becoming a father coming?

Lin Xian had been suppressing this thought in his mind for the past few days.

But…

Some things, the more you don’t think about them, the more you can’t control them and you can’t help but think about them.

Since Jask’s time assassin was sent back by the future Jask himself.

Then Yu Xi, could she have been sent back by the future him or the future Yellow Oriole?

The real answer, Yu Xi was restricted by the laws of time and space and definitely couldn’t say it.

But perhaps.

He could directly verify the answer!

Knock knock.

While thinking, there was a knock on the door.

“Come in.”

Lin Xian pressed the switch to open the office door. Brother Wang walked in with a folder, sticking out his belly:

“Long time no see, Lin Xian. Just as you came, I said there were a few documents I needed you to sign.”

After saying that, Brother Wang immediately noticed the girl on the sofa who was pushing down her large sunglasses:

“Yo! Cool little girl! Is this the cousin from your distant relatives’ family in the United States?”

Lin Xian smiled helplessly:

“Xiao Li told you?”

“Yeah, we ran into each other just now, otherwise I wouldn’t have known you were here.”

Brother Wang seemed to like children too.

He smiled and walked up to Yu Xi and waved:

“Hi~ Can you speak Chinese? Cool girl~ Call me uncle!”

Yu Xi ignored him and turned her head away.

Brother Wang smiled and naturally didn’t mind. He stood up and walked straight to Lin Xian’s desk:

“Hey, kids these days are all like this, they don’t like to greet people. My daughter is the same… Not to mention greeting outsiders, she locks herself in her room as soon as she gets home from school, and doesn’t come out except to go to the bathroom and drink water. I can’t even say three words to her in a week!”

“And you can’t scold the little girls at this age, because if you scold them, they jump higher than you. If you say one sentence, they can say ten sentences back to you… Raising children is not easy, Lin Xian. You think they are cute when you haven’t given birth to them, but they are only cute for a few years when they are little… When they grow up, they are all as stubborn as donkeys, and you can’t stop them.”

Lin Xian was signing the documents in his hand.

His mind was still thinking about the relationship between Yu Xi, Yellow Oriole, and himself.

Sigh.

Now that he was back in Donghai, he shouldn’t think about random things all the time. Whether it was true or false, wouldn’t it be fine to do a paternity test?

“Brother Wang.”

Lin Xian finished signing, handed the documents back, raised his head, and said:

“Do you know which hospital can do a [DNA paternity test]?”???

Three question marks popped out of Brother Wang’s head, and he didn’t even catch the documents in his hand:

“No… Lin Xian!?”

He suddenly realized something!

He turned his head back and looked at the cute little girl on the sofa who was not saying a word in shock:

“No way, Lin Xian!?”

Brother Wang couldn’t help but shout:

“Is this your daughter!?”

“Oh, no… why are you yelling so loudly!” Lin Xian waved his hand in a panic:

“I’m just asking.”

“You want to do a paternity test with this little girl!?” Brother Wang exclaimed.

“No.”

Lin Xian couldn’t stand it:

“Can you lower your voice?”

“Who is doing a paternity test with who?” Suddenly, a familiar woman’s voice came from the door, accompanied by the sound of clattering high heels.

“It’s over.”

Brother Wang’s face turned pale immediately, and he felt that something big was about to happen!

Sure enough…

The office door, which had been left ajar by Brother Wang after he came in, was pushed open by a fair and slender hand.

The front of a brown trench coat swung in first.

Then came a pair of slender legs wearing black stockings, stepping into the room in simple black high heels.

Delicate pure gold earrings swayed in the sunlight with a soft sound.

The tall and heroic female president, with her hands in her coat pockets, strode into the office.

Zhao Yingjun stopped in the middle of the carpet.

She looked to the left at Lin Xian sitting in the boss’s chair, in the middle at Brother Wang with a stunned expression and pale face, and to the right at the doll-faced girl on the sofa wearing huge sunglasses.

She tilted her head.

Then she looked from right to left again, and her gaze finally settled on Lin Xian:

“Lin Xian.”

Her vermilion lips moved slightly, and her voice was low:

“You want to do a paternity test… with this little girl?”
