Chapter 76 I really want to tie him up
Hearing Ji Xingyi defend Jiang Lin made Chen Jiangqiao feel uneasy. He glanced down at his bank card and had to admit that, putting aside personal grudges, the 50 yuan was too tempting.
"Alright, then you should at least explain how this string of numbers came about, right?" After calming down, Chen Jiangqiao began to take the deal seriously: "If you really want to get the results you want quickly, you'd better explain everything in detail!"
After thinking for a moment, Ji Xingyi recounted in detail the events surrounding the appearance of the mysterious white envelope.
As Chen Jiangqiao listened, he sensed something was wrong, especially when he heard Ji Xingyi choose Xin over Jiang Lin. Instantly, a sharp scream erupted in his mind: Damn it!!!
"You!" Chen Jiangqiao's expression was conflicted for several seconds, but he couldn't help but ask, "Are you impotent?"
"Is your brain only filled with pornographic garbage?" Ji Xingyi glared at him. "It's not what you think!"
Although he was curious about what was in the letter, he never considered opening it. His choice between the letter and Jiang Lin was purely because he felt something was off about Jiang Lin.
In Ji Xingyi's mind, as long as Jiang Lin is on one side of the scale, the other side will always lean towards Jiang Lin, no matter what's on it.
But based on his understanding of Jiang Lin, Jiang Lin should have either agreed or refused, yet he insisted on giving him a choice between the two.
This kind of behavior is abnormal for Jiang Lin.
Chen Jiangqiao, unaware of Jiang Lin's personality, might interpret this behavior as playful banter, but Ji Xingyi wouldn't see it that way. The more blatantly Jiang Lin seduced him, the more suspicious he felt.
As Ji Xingyi was trying to figure out how to explain this feeling, she heard Chen Jiangqiao muttering to himself while holding a wine glass.
"A 21-year-old young man, young and strong, shouldn't be like this?"
Twenty-one?
"What are you talking about?" Ji Xing instantly became alert, his eyes narrowing slightly, his voice low and menacing: "Chen Jiangqiao! How do you know my age?"
Damn it! He let it slip! Chen Jiangqiao immediately shut up after realizing what he had said, but the oppressive atmosphere around him was getting heavier and heavier. Helpless, Chen Jiangqiao raised his hands in surrender, mentally slapping himself twice.
"I checked all the teachers who committed suicide by jumping off school buildings across the country in the past ten years, and then selected those who taught Chinese. Neither of you had a northern accent, so I removed those from the north as well. The poor ones didn't seem like it either, so there weren't many schools left with good teachers. I hacked into the education system, and luckily, I was the third one."
The rest was even simpler. Chen Jiangqiao lived in Jiangzhou, which was only a two-hour high-speed train ride from Hangzhou. He left home at 8 a.m. and arrived at Hangzhou University of Commerce by noon. For a prominent figure like Ji Xingyi, a simple inquiry on campus would reveal his license plate number.
The only thing that shocked Chen Jiangqiao during this process was that Ji Xingyi and Jiang Lin had just started university.
Unbelievable! I have no idea how someone can grow to be 1.9 meters tall.
But being this tall is useless, Chen Jiangqiao's eyes can't help but keep glancing at a certain place on someone. Could it be that he's sexually frigid?
Ji Xing noticed Chen Jiangqiao's eyes starting to dart around and knew the guy was imagining something nasty again. But then he thought, Chen Jiangqiao was quite capable to have found him in just one night.
After taking a swig of wine in anger, Ji Xingyi suppressed his rage and said, "If what you find satisfies me, I'll transfer another 50 to you afterwards."
After Ji Xingyi finished speaking, he got up and walked towards the bathroom. He wanted to book a room to discuss cooperation, but his main reason was to take a shower.
He climbed 80 flights of stairs, his body covered in sweat, and after wandering around the ruins, his trousers, sleeves, and back were all stained with ash. He had to change his clothes before going home, as he didn't want Jiang Lin to know what had happened that day.
Just after taking off her shirt, Ji Xingyi touched the card she had forgotten and suddenly had a flash of inspiration. So she walked out of the bathroom shirtless.
Chen Jiangqiao stared wide-eyed at the man's appearance, exclaiming, "Damn!" He couldn't help but sigh: "Aside from being impotent, Jiang Lin is definitely eating well..."
Ji Xingyi ignored the guy whose brain was full of English letters, picked up a pen from the table, recalled the wax seal on the back of the envelope, drew it, and handed it to Chen Jiangqiao.
He had just thought about it carefully when Jiang Lin opened the envelope, handed him the card inside, and took the envelope away.
Perhaps the contents of the envelope are unimportant; Jiang Lin is not afraid of it being deciphered at all.
The important thing is the person who sends the letter.
But how do you know who sent an unsigned letter?
The six-pointed star pattern on the sealing wax stamp is perhaps the real key point!
"Look up what this pattern represents," Ji Xingyi instructed before going back to take a shower. After closing the door, she suddenly stopped and decisively locked the door from the inside.
After experiencing the explosion and discussing cooperation with Chen Jiangqiao, Zhang Hui drove home past midnight.
When Ji Xing opened the door, Jiang Lin was already asleep in bed, with a small nightlight left on for him. Having already showered at the hotel, he quickly washed up, changed into his pajamas, and went to bed.
Jiang Lin was awakened by Ji Xingyi's movements. With sleepy eyes, she snuggled into Ji Xingyi's arms, her head pressed against the man's neck, her voice a little muffled: "Why are you so late?"
Ji Xingyi wrapped his arms around the young man's body, his fingertips slipping out from under his clothes and caressing the young man's lower back: "Linlin, did you go to Yuejiang Era today?"
"No." Jiang Lin closed her eyes, tilted her head back slightly, and moved closer to the man's body in a more comfortable position.
Ji Xingyi's eyes flickered slightly: "Really?"
"Do you think I'm lying to you?" Jiang Lin rubbed his nose against Ji Xingyi's chin, where a few stubble peeked out and looked a bit fuzzy.
“It’s not that I don’t believe you, it’s just…” Ji Xing turned her head away, for the first time actively avoiding Jiang Lin’s intimate behavior.
Jiang Lin slowly opened her eyes, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes at Ji Xingyi's aloofness, but her face remained expressionless: "Just what?"
Ji Xingyi avoided Jiang Lin's gaze and looked up at the ceiling: "But I've discovered that there are many things about you that I don't know."
Ji Xingyi knew nothing about Ding Xuehui, Shen Wangshu, or Jiang Lin's photographic memory.
He admitted that he felt uncomfortable at times, but these feelings would not affect their relationship.
Everyone has their own little secrets, but Ji Xingyi wasn't so petty as to force Jiang Lin to reveal all his secrets without reservation.
But today is different.
After the explosion, Ji Xingyi was completely stunned.
86 floors, 2,500 steps.
He didn't know the cause of the explosion, nor did he know if Jiang Lin was in danger.
He knew nothing, like a useless person who could do nothing but pray to some ethereal deity.
This feeling of powerlessness was suffocating him.
He is afraid.
He was afraid that Jiang Lin might get into danger because of something he didn't know.
And all I can do is be that incompetent piece of trash.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lin smiled and stood up, straddling Ji Xingyi. Looking down into Ji Xingyi's bloodshot eyes, she teased, "Are you feeling wronged?"
Ji Xingyi did not answer, but the silence itself was the answer.
Upon noticing the tears glistening in the man's eyes, Jiang Lin felt a rare surge of excitement. She reached under the pillow and pulled out a sapphire necklace she had prepared beforehand, placing it around the man's neck.
The sudden chill gave Ji Xing goosebumps, pulling him back from his reverie of the icy landscape: "What is this?"
Jiang Lin smiled and said, "A gift."
Ji Xingyi's pupils widened, her face filled with disbelief: "Are you listening to me?"
"Don't move!" Jiang Lin, unusually forceful, fastened the lock tightly.
The necklace was too short for a woman, and it was not suitable for a man to wear, let alone a man who exercises regularly and is 1.9 meters tall.
Ji Xingyi's lips parted slightly, and she let out a low panting sound.
As Jiang Lin watched the necklace fit snugly against the man's fair neck, even drawing a blush, the smile on her face gradually faded, and an unknown emotion began to surge in her deep eyes.
Jiang Lin couldn't help but play with the dazzling sapphire on the man's neck with her fingertips.
It looks like a dog leash; I really want to tie it up.
