However, to find out whether the members of the Genius Club really know about the Millennium Stakes...
I’m afraid I can only make a judgment after I’ve truly joined.
“I’m just making a preliminary guess at this point, without confirmation,”
Lin Xian shrugged off the question with a single sentence, pointing to the high building ahead:
“Look, there is the inpatient department of Donghai University Affiliated Hospital.
I’ve been here many times.
Zheng Xiangyue’s ward is on the 17th floor.”
He glanced at his watch.
It was not yet nine o’clock in the morning, so Jask and his entourage should not have arrived.
...
He parked the Volkswagen sedan at a spot where he could look diagonally at the entrance of the inpatient department.
He took special care to position the car head towards the flowerbed, with the rear towards the direction of the inpatient department.
In this way, the other party would not be able to observe them through the car glass, while they could rely on the rearview mirror to see what was happening behind.
Lin Xian turned the key, switched off the ordinary-looking Volkswagen sedan, and then turned to Yu Xi:
“Let’s wait here until Jask and his team go up, then we’ll follow them.”
Half an hour passed...
Lin Xian and Yu Xi, looking through the rearview mirror, felt their eyes growing tired, but still saw no sign of Jask.
“He’s still not coming?”
Another ten minutes passed.
Lin Xian checked his watch again, and it showed 09:46.
“Is he really cutting it so close?”
Lin Xian felt something odd:
“He said he would be at Zheng Xiangyue’s ward by ten...
no time buffer at all?”
...
In East Sea, within the new port district at the Tesla Super Factory,
Angelica paced back and forth in the living room of the suite.
Two female bodyguards sat at the doorway, performing their duties with due diligence, facing away from her to guard the door.
She walked to the window of the living room and looked outside.
Many black-clad bodyguards and many black cars surrounded the building—probably the security team brought by Jask.
Under normal circumstances, even if a visit abroad required security, it wouldn’t need to be this excessive.
Angelica was well aware.
She knew that these security personnel and vehicles were definitely not prepared to prevent her from escaping.
She didn’t have that kind of capability.
Just the two robust female bodyguards in the living room were enough to stop her.
“You two eat together, I bought extra, it’s for all three of you.”
After each female bodyguard took their lunch box.
They turned around.
Getting ready to open it at the dining table.
But then——
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Two swift shooting sounds, the two female bodyguards convulsed and fell to the ground with thuds!
Angelica’s eyes widened as she stood up from the dining table.
In the hands of the man before her...
...was a black and yellow Taser gun!
This was a common piece of basic police equipment.
It could shoot out two wires and darts, then release a large current to paralyze or incapacitate a suspect for a short time, allowing for a safe arrest.
“What do you want to do?”
Angelica watched the broad-shouldered man warily.
He gave her a shushing gesture, then took out a mobile phone from his pocket and dialed a number...
After waiting for the connection, he silently handed the phone to Angelica.
After Angelica took the phone, the broad-shouldered man walked to the dining table and opened the two huge stacked lunch boxes——
Inside there was not a bit of food!
It was all various cosmetics, bottles and jars, gels, accessories, and disguise tools...
Angelica couldn’t help but hold her breath.
She put the connected phone to her ear:
“Hello?”
“Hehehehe...”
From the other end of the phone came the dry laughter of an unfamiliar old man.
It was a laugh Angelica had never heard before, but it felt extremely creepy and made her skin crawl.
“Bring Jask’s white cooler and come with this man to see me.
I’ll tell you everything...
I’ll tell you all you want to know...
Angelica.”
“No, perhaps I should use a different address.”
The old man chuckled again, saying in a low voice:
“It’s time for you to return to me, my final sin...”
“Lust!”
