Chapter 90: Ling Wu!

As the mahogany door closed, the study returned to silence. Jin Shaoyu was led out of the corridor by Steward He toward the living room downstairs, where he then bumped into Fang Kai coming the other way.

Jin Shaoyu's gaze locked onto him, finding it somewhat strange. Fang Kai was the Research Director at the Jin Family Gene Research Center and was 52 years old this year; what was he doing at the Jin residence instead of staying at the Research Institute at this hour?

"Stop!"

Fang Kai paused his steps, revealing a kindly and approachable smile toward Jin Shaoyu: "Second Young Master, is there something you need?"

"Director Fang is truly busy with a thousand tasks." Jin Shaoyu walked over and greeted him: "It's been a long time. I wonder how your health has been lately, Director?"

Fang Kai was stunned, as if he hadn't expected the haughty Jin Shaoyu to greet him. He tucked his hands into his pockets and nodded: "Thank you for your concern, Second Young Master. My health is still quite robust."

Jin Shaoyu asked again: "What about that little apprentice who likes to stay by your side?"

Little apprentice?

Fang Kai reacted for a moment before realizing he was referring to Weilan. His brow relaxed slightly: "Him... the Research Institute's latest results have come out. Weilan is organizing the data from their team's research, intending to write a paper and submit it to an academic journal for publication."

Jin Shaoyu: "In other words, he has no research on his hands right now, correct?"

"..." Fang Kai: "As of now, that is the case."

Jin Shaoyu issued an order: "I remember he has a double degree in psychology and biology, right? Lend him to me for two days, and I'll return him to you safe and sound when I'm done."

Fang Kai: "... This, although I am the Research Director, I do not have the authority to allocate Weilan's personal freedom. Second Young Master should ask him personally."

As soon as he finished speaking, he nodded and prepared to turn toward the study.

Jin Shaoyu stood where he was, his tone rising a notch: "Does Director Fang mean to say that I should go directly to the Research Institute and snatch him? Tsk... that's not a bad suggestion."

Bandit behavior!

Steward He wiped his forehead on the side.

He sighed, not knowing what he was thinking.

Fang Kai turned back around and took his phone out of his pocket: "Wait for me to make a call and ask for his opinion."

"Hello?"

About two minutes later.

Jin Shaoyu waited impatiently: "Are you done yet!"

"Beep—"

The call hung up.

Fang Kai put his phone back into his pocket and said: "Weilan said he will follow the Second Young Master's orders."

"Heh." Jin Shaoyu sneered: "He knows what's good for him."

Weilan:... Do I dare not listen to you?

"Director Fang, I'll be going now."

The young man had one hand in his pocket; he waved his arm without looking back and disappeared at the end of the corridor in no time.

Fang Kai exchanged a glance with Steward He and turned to knock on the study door.

Evening.

Yu Shixue organized a gathering at the largest entertainment venue in Beidu City, saying it was to welcome Yin Huaiyu back and wash away the bad luck from Ganan.

The VIP room was brightly lit and luxuriously decorated. Two rows of handsome male waiters stood at the entrance, tall and slim, in uniform, with bow ties at their chests.

Jin Shaoyu was always the one who arrived late. As soon as he stood at the door, a waiter eagerly pushed it open for him: "Young Master, please come in."

Then the door closed again.

Seeing him arrive, Yu Shixue patted the seat beside him: "Shaoyu, you're always like this, arriving last every time."

"Oh." Jin Shaoyu was indifferent: "Is there any benefit to arriving early?"

After speaking, he took a glass of wine from the tray held by a waiter, clinked glasses with Yu Shixue beside him, tilted his chin toward Jing Du and the other, and downed the wine in one gulp.

Jin Shaoyu asked: "Huaiyu, when did you go to Ganan?"

Yin Huaiyu threw the dice in his hand onto the table: "Just the last two days. Don't mention it, it was damn unlucky. I ran into two ugly bastards and got into a pile of trouble."

"Oh?" Jin Shaoyu: "Your uncle isn't pursuing it?"

"Could he eat me?" Yin Huaiyu lazily rested his arms behind his head while the masseur thoughtfully massaged his temples with circular motions. He added: "I rushed home to deal with that bastard child for him; he should be grateful to me."

Jin Shaoyu silently gave a thumbs up: "Then you are the best."

Hearing Yin Huaiyu's words, Yu Shixue suddenly remembered something and threw the topic to Jin Shaoyu: "Shaoyu, have you heard? Jin Bei transferred to Sophomore Class A."

Jing Du cast his gaze toward them.

He didn't say anything, listening patiently to the rest.

Jin Shaoyu frowned: "Isn't he a freshman?"

"What is he doing in Class A?"

A few laughs spilled from Yin Huaiyu's throat: "Isn't Ling Wu in Class A? What do you think he's there for?"

He recalled Ling Wu's beautiful and fragile face, which was like porcelain and needed careful protection.

He said again: "This half-brother of yours has never been easy to deal with since he was a child. Shaoyu, you'd better be careful and don't let our brother get bullied."

Our brother?

This sounded extremely grating.

Jin Shaoyu was displeased, lifting his eyelids to glance at him: "Don't go around claiming relatives."

"I don't have a brother as old as you."

"Fine, fine, fine!" Yin Huaiyu raised his hands in surrender.

Jing Du spoke up out of the blue: "Huaiyu, you said last time that you could draw that person's eyes with 99% accuracy. Did you draw it?"

"Let me see."

Mentioning this, Yin Huaiyu remembered. He pulled up the photo in his phone gallery: "It's this one. I haven't seen any clues yet."

Jing Du took the phone, his gaze falling on the drawing. The eyes were indeed very beautiful, but the specific details of the eyebrows and eyelashes were missing, making it very difficult to identify.

He only glanced at it, then returned it to Yin Huaiyu.

"If you want to find someone relying on these eyes, I'm afraid it will be very difficult."

Yin Huaiyu said: "Nonsense, what can you tell from just two eyes? People with two eyes are all over the street, and I'm not Sun Wukong with Fiery Eyes."

After speaking, he handed the phone to the side, and Yu Shixue took it and glanced at it; his gaze was faint, and the few unbuttoned buttons revealed that snake head on his collarbone, full of wildness and aggression: "You could clearly take the simplest approach, immediately seal off all routes, and carry out indiscriminate bombing on Ganan, ensuring no one can get out alive, and then there would be no worries."

His tone had no ripples, and the smile in his eyes was shallow.

To the point where it was impossible to tell if he was joking.

The private room fell silent instantly.

Jin Shaoyu kicked him: "Are you a living King of Hell?"

"Hahaha." Yu Shixue lit a cigarette: "Just a joke, but Adu is right, just by the eyes, you can't tell anything at all; differences in factors like eyebrows, nose, and mouth will all significantly reduce this sense of similarity."

"Unless there is someone among us who knows this person particularly well."

"But do you think that's possible?"

Yin Huaiyu said: "Where would such a coincidence happen?"

Jin Shaoyu said casually: "Let me see that picture."

"Mm."

Jin Shaoyu took the phone, the lights in the VIP room switched, dimming and obscuring the youth's features, faintly outlining a delicate and striking side profile; his gaze was nonchalant, a casual glance, his line of sight swept past those eyes on the phone screen, and the moment he moved the screen away, colorful images flashed rapidly through his mind, his pupils flickered, his heartbeat accelerated, his breathing became rapid, the air stood still, and his entire chest cavity seemed to be vibrating violently.

Ling Wu!
