Lin Chen watched Caesar's departing figure, then turned to look at Xia Mi.
06 Their eyes met, and they both smiled.
Caesar, in a fit of pique, thought he could find the King of the Earth and the Mountains, but little did he know that the true King of the Earth and the Mountains was right in front of him, yet he had overlooked him.
Xia Mi stretched and yawned: "You big idiot."
"Tired?" Lin Chen patted Xia Mi's head.
Xia Mi nodded obediently: "I didn't sleep much last night, and then I was messing around with you, and after playing all day, I'm exhausted!"
Lin Chen turned his back around: "Get on, I'll carry you back!"
"Wow!" Xia Mi exclaimed happily, jumping onto Lin Chen's back. "Let's go!"
Xia Mi was delicate and boneless, with a noodle-like figure and a waist so thin it could be encircled with one hand; she was only plump in the right places.
Lin Chen easily carried her on his back and took Xia Mi back to the hotel.
This time, Lin Chen and Xia Mi slept until dawn, finally enjoying a real vacation.
Over the next few days, the hybrids searched every corner of the North City, but still could not find any trace of the King of Earth and Mountains.
Just like the Greenland Sea incident, once the sacrifice occurred, no trace could be found.
Although the various organizations and forces were unwilling to accept this, the matter could only be left unresolved.
Kassel College sent a new investigation team, but they still found nothing.
Lin Chen, Xia Mi, and Chu Zihang's group were also withdrawn from the academy.
The incident resulted in the loss of thousands of elite hybrids, and the operation is now considered taboo in the hybrid world.
The only information that has been circulated comes from a small number of people.
Lin Chenxiami Group, Chu Zihanglu Mingfei Group.
There were also two executive officers who were trapped inside, and the unfortunate Zhao Menghua.
The college brainwashed and hypnotized Zhao Menghua, making him forget what happened during that period.
Fortunately, there were no casualties at Kassel College, so the incident was completely put aside after it was registered.
Life at the academy cannot proceed without restraint. No one knows what the academy's higher-ups are thinking, and Lin Chen doesn't care what decisions the board of directors makes.
student dormitory.
Lin Chen is a senior in college and has been busy with his graduation thesis lately.
Fingel lay on the top bunk, typing on his computer while looking at Lin Chen with envy.
"That's great! I can graduate!" the ninth-grader said enviously.
"You can do it too," Lin Chen said, "You just don't want to!"
Fingel scratched his head.
If he were in front of other people, he would definitely give a long list of reasons why I really want to graduate.
But he had nothing to hide from Lin Chen, and just scratched his head: "The principal has a mission for me, to keep an eye on you and Lu Mingfei."
"Observation? That's inaccurate!"
“Uh…” Fingel grabbed his hair even harder. “I think the word ‘surveillance’ doesn’t sound very nice.”
“It’s alright, I completely understand,” Lin Chen said. “Both Lu Mingfei and I are S-rank, but to Angers, one of us is excessively strong, and the other is excessively hidden.”
"I'm so envious!" Fingel sighed. "I'm already a G-level, and if I can't graduate next semester, I'll be an H-level!"
"It won't be that long!" Lin Chen said. "I'll graduate next semester, so you basically won't need to do any work!"
“Hey boss,” Fingel suddenly asked, “what are your plans after you graduate? Will you join the executive department?”
Lin Chen shrugged: "Obviously not. So many assets and companies are waiting for me to manage. What benefits would I get from joining the executive department? Why would I risk my life for a salary of a few thousand US dollars a month!"
"Yeah, I'm even more envious of you now!"
Lin Chen continued looking at the keyboard, and Fingel sighed and started typing as well.
He was still working on news-related content. After staring at the screen for a while, he suddenly looked up and asked, "Boss, wanna eat some gossip?"
"Do you want to order delivery from the cafeteria?"
"Oh no, it's gossip!"
Lin Chen was a little surprised: "I didn't realize that your mastery of Chinese had reached the level of using internet slang!"
Fingel chuckled: "Just tell me, are you in or not? Look, it's a huge international scandal!"
"Tell me."
"The Gattuso family is preparing for a wedding of the century!"
"Marriage? Who? That old geezer Frost wants to take a concubine?"
"Of course not! It's for Caesar!"
"He's the heir to a family business, so it's normal for him to be preparing for a wedding. It's not some big scandal!"
"The focus is on the bride!" Fingel said. "The wedding is all planned out, but the bride isn't ready yet! Guess who they've got in mind as the bride?"
Lin Chen remained silent; he knew the outcome.
Fingel said quietly, "Chen Motong, that is, my boss's wife!"
“You have plenty of female bosses,” Lin Chen said, “but to think they’d choose Nuonuo as their bride is a bit of a pipe dream!”
Fingel blinked in confusion: "To be honest, I don't quite understand. Chen Motong has no feelings for Caesar at all, and they're practically strangers now. So why is the Gattuso family so unilateral? She clearly likes you. According to the paparazzi information I received, you spent the entire night in Chen Motong's dorm last night!"
"Ahem..." Lin Chen was speechless. "What exactly are your paparazzi filming?!"
"It's just... gossip! You're the most famous student in the college, and our news department has paparazzi who specifically follow you around!"
"Taking pictures of my scandalous affairs?"
“Those things mean nothing to you,” Fingel said. “Actually, I mainly take some handsome photos of you, make posters, and sell them to your female fans!”
Lin Chen: "..."
“That’s not the point.” Fingel waved his hand. “Boss, the point is, are they trying to steal Chen Motong away? I’ve always thought of her as the boss’s wife!”
242: From the Chen family's fiery pit! Nuonuo, call me husband!
"Do you know why?" Lin Chen suddenly asked.
Fingel shook his head: "My men did try to find out, but they didn't get anything out of it. The reason for choosing Chen Motong is extremely confidential. Even within the Gattuso family, not many people know about it!"
"Guess."
Fingel slumped his head on the upper bunk railing: "This is a bit difficult. After all, it's a major event for the Gattuso family. Choosing a bride for the heir is no less important than choosing a royal consort!"
"A royal selection of concubines? That's a good analogy. Go on."
Fingel continued to ponder: "The selection of a royal consort is simply a matter of matching social status. I've heard that Chen Motong's family has some influence in China, but it shouldn't be as powerful as the Gattuso family. Besides, Italian nobles don't need to form marriage alliances with Chinese families!"
Lin Chen nodded, signaling Fingel to continue.
Fingel thought for a moment: "But such marriages usually take into account the bride's character, right? In your Chinese terms, she should be well-educated and reasonable, and preferably proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. But that's not right!"
"how?"
Fingel looked up: "Well... Boss, please don't take offense, but the boss's wife, Chen Motong, doesn't seem to fit the description of being knowledgeable and reasonable!"
"What kind of girl is Nuonuo? How could she be bound by the identity of a bride?" Lin Chen said.
“That’s strange!” Fingel said. “Such a large noble family chooses its heir’s bride, who is also the future matriarch of the family and the one who will lead the family, but Chen Motong does not meet such conditions!”
Lin Chen nodded: "That's very meaningful!"
Fingel stroked his chin: "You mean, there's a conspiracy involved?"
“It’s obvious!” Lin Chen said. “If Caesar chooses a bride, it will only be based on love. But if it’s the Gattuso family, it will be a marriage alliance, based on interests and motives.”
Finger immediately sat up, filled with righteous indignation: "This is outrageous! How can we tolerate this?"
Lin Chen glanced at Fingel; the guy was clearly quite engrossed in the moment.
Fingel slammed his hand on the bed: "To put it mildly, this is stealing a woman from your place, boss. To put it more seriously, this is harming Chen Motong and pushing her into a fire pit!"
"Can you tolerate it?"
"Of course we can't stand it!" Fingel was completely focused.
"So what are you planning to do?"
"Charge to the Gattuso family and kill Caesar!" Fingel raised his hand.
"No need for that!" Lin Chen said. "This is the work of the Gattuso family, we have to do something about it!"
"Kill them!"
"Say something within your power!"
"Smear them!" Fingel slapped his thigh. "Expose the secrets of the Gattuso family's top brass, even spread rumors, and destroy them in the media war!"
"Then it's settled!" Lin Chen nodded.
