Chapter 679: Chapter 706 Inconceivable (Three-in-One)
Right, the last two times she was passive, but this time, Ding Yueqiu had to take the initiative!
Anyway, it was already someone else!
So after she untied it, she was ready to stand up and walk towards Lin Xi.
At this moment, her entire body was as smooth as an egg peeled of its shell, placed in front of a man who hadnât eaten for two days.
Although her looks were not as good as Bai Bing, Zhou Yan, Zhu Ying, Gu Xiaoxian, and others, her figure was not worse than theirs at all, and in some aspects even better.
After all, as an assassin, there wasnât a day she didnât work out, and even the high-intensity training was something Yang Feifei couldnât match.
The abandoned factory had cracks, defects, and holes everywhere, and now the scorching sun was hanging high, so the dazzling sunlight shone into the room from all around.
"Not bad at all!"
Looking at the dilapidated room, at the sunlight, and at the person in front of him, Lin Xi couldnât help but exclaim.
Ding Yueqiu couldnât help but lower her head, seemingly unable to withstand Lin Xiâs intense gaze.
Lin Yueqiu, "..."
Suddenly she felt that untying the constraints just now might have been a mistake, not only failing to seize the initiative but also causing him to sigh.
Is this really okay?
However, in this place, thereâs basically no one passing by.
At the intersection two kilometers away, Master Li had been sitting in the car for two hours.
At this moment, there was a trace of anxiety on his face, worrying about whether something had happened to Lin Xi.
After all, itâs been such a long time in the wilderness and he hasnât come back yet.
He felt a bit guilty then, thinking that even if he wasnât very capable, he shouldâve followed Lin Xi, as two people could at least watch out for each other.
Even if he didnât go, he should have asked Lin Xi how much time he needed when he went.
If he didnât return in that time, he should then call the police or something...
The even more critical thing was, he had just heard gunshots!!!
Gunshots - something exceedingly rare domestically, or something many ordinary people might never hear in their lifetime.
But he heard it shortly after Lin Xi left.
"Did something really happen?"
He was very conflicted, but he didnât dare go over to look, nor did he dare leave; what if Lin Xi came back and couldnât find anyone? How would Lin Xi get back from such a place?
As for calling the police?
He had thought about it, but internally he felt it wasnât too appropriate!
What if Lin Xi was doing something? Wouldnât calling the police ruin his plans?
However, thinking that Lin Xi was familiar with Zhou Yan and the others in the police, and based on his rich life experience, he judged that Lin Xi wasnât a bad person.
"Damn, Iâm just an ordinary guy; how did I get involved in such complicated matters!!!"
Master Li felt despair in his heart.
He checked the time again and confirmed that two hours and ten minutes had passed since Lin Xi left!
"No, I have to go and look!"
After opening the car door, he looked in the direction Lin Xi had just walked, preparing to walk over, when he noticed two figures in the distance, a man and a woman.
Hmm, looks like Lin Xi...
Master Li, stupefied, didnât move, rubbing his eyes to take a closer look, and he saw that the person coming from the distance was indeed Lin Xi; as for the woman, he didnât recognize her, only thought she was very pretty, with an outstanding figure.
He immediately chuckled to himself, thinking, "Brother Lin was out chasing girls, huh!"
As Lin Xi got closer, he noticed Lin Xi looked much the same as when he left, but the girl beside him had a flushed face, not from the heat.
He understood!
"Brother Lin, nothing happened, right?" Master Li still asked, after all, he had heard gunshots just now.
Lin Xi shook his head, indicating nothing was wrong.
Moreover, the corpse of that ace assassin was also dealt with.
Even if someone in the vicinity heard the gunshots and the police were called, they wouldnât find any traces.
After the three got in the car, Master Li asked again, "Brother Lin, shall we return to the school?"
Lin Xi nodded, "Right."
As for Ding Yueqiu, except for the lingering flush on her face, she didnât say a word, maintaining her usual expression, much like an observerâs gaze.
At one oâclock in the afternoon, at the entrance of Jiangnan University, Master Li stopped the car.
After Lin Xi and Ding Yueqiu got off the car and were about to leave, Lin Xi remembered that he hadnât paid, so he asked, "Master Li, how much in total?"
Master Li quickly waved his head, "How could I possibly take your money, repaying your kindness is already not enough!"
Besides, he was not a short-sighted person; he knew Lin Xi was not an ordinary person.
Having a chance to be close to someone powerful was something he wouldnât refuse.
Money, after all, could be earned again.
However, Lin Xi felt that things should be separate, so without saying much, he took out six red bills from the Jade Pendant Space and handed them to Master Li, not allowing refusal.
In the end, Master Li had no choice but to accept, and only then was Lin Xi satisfied and left.
"Gurgle!"
Not long after they walked into the school, Ding Yueqiuâs stomach growled involuntarily.
In an instant, her newly recovered complexion flushed again, feeling utterly embarrassed for an assassin.
Well, thatâs how she felt.
But what could she do? She hadnât eaten a single grain of rice or drunk a drop of water since last night.
Moreover, she had just engaged in over an hour and a half of physical activity, the intensity of which was no less than a high-intensity training session, even more so.
If it were an ordinary person, theyâd be dead by now!
Lin Xi was also hungry, being someone who ate his meals very regularly and should have eaten by noon.
So he glanced at the side at Ding Yueqiu, "Letâs go, follow me to the canteen!"
Ding Yueqiu blushed, nodding her head and saying, "Okay, master!"
When they reached the canteen, at this time, there were only a few people having their meals.
Lin Xi still frequented the stir-fry shop, being familiar with it, and truth be told, the stir-fried dishes there were indeed good.
The owner and his wife saw Lin Xi approaching and greeted him from a distance.
Seeing there were two people, they very knowingly said first, "Bro, give us a moment, Iâll cook your dishes right away!"
Seeing this scene, Ding Yueqiu was a bit stunned; did Lin Xi often eat here?
Based on her observation, the number of times Lin Xi had been to the school canteen was less than five!
Did he eat here all those five times?
But with so many students, why did the owner and his wife remember him?
What followed surprised her even more, as the wife and her husband gradually brought out more than a dozen dishes with hefty portions, and a whole large pot full of rice...
Watching Lin Xi devour the food without hesitation, she internally remarked, "This is food meant for ten or more people, right!"
"Can the two of them finish it all?"
"Or will others join? But on the way, she hadnât seen Lin Xi make any calls or send any messages."
Seeing her dazed look, Lin Xi couldnât help but say, "Why arenât you eating yet?"
Hearing this, Ding Yueqiuâs stomach growled again several times, and she decided not to think about anything else, focusing on getting full first.
Half an hour later, after long finishing her meal, Ding Yueqiu watched Lin Xi eat the last bowl of rice from the pot, her mouth slightly open in disbelief.
Of course, the dozen or so dishes on the table also had no leftovers, not even soup.
"This is too exaggerated!" She couldnât help but exclaim in shock internally.
She knew she had only eaten one-twentieth, but that one-twentieth was her typical portion for three meals.
But Lin Xi had eaten nineteen-twentieths!!!
Ding Yueqiu, "..."
