Chapter 46: The Person Who Wants to Become a God (4)

  After finishing dinner, the two people quickly entered a state of work.

  Before getting to know Lin Yuanxi, Xia Zhu found it hard to imagine that someone could switch between different states of life so effortlessly. He could sleep for two days and two nights when he had nothing to do, but when there was a case, he could go crazy and pull all-nighters for several consecutive nights. He was like a leopard waiting to pounce, or perhaps... a chameleon?

  Xia Zhu was amused by this idea and couldn't help but smile, meeting Lin Yuan's puzzled gaze unexpectedly. She hastily composed herself and waved her hand to indicate that she was fine.

  "It's nothing." Lin Yuanxie apparently misinterpreted her thoughts, thinking the little woman beside him was nervous. After a moment of hesitation, Lin Yuanxie stretched out his hand and grasped Xia Zhu's shoulder with a gesture that seemed to be resigned to death. This action should have been warm and ambiguous, but on Lin Yuanxie, it came with an icy face. Xia Zhu stared at his handsome profile for a while before shaking her head and sighing softly: "Yuanxie."

  Lin Yuan's eyes watched his nose, his nose watched his heart, without a word being spoken.

  Xia Zhu had no choice but to give up.

  They soon arrived at the charity gala venue, which was the largest charity event in City A in recent years. Xia Zhu looked at the towering Rose Building and couldn't help but shake her head.

  Lin Yuanke keenly caught this small movement. Lin Yuanke, who usually didn't like to ask questions, was curious for once: "What's going on?"

  "Far away......" Xia Zhu asked thoughtfully: "What do you think of charity hype?"

  Lin Yuan shrugged: "If it's asking for my opinion, then I'm very supportive."

  Xia Zhu looked over with some surprise, and saw Lin Yuan's expression was very calm, like a deep pool on the top of a high mountain, an ancient well without ripples. "If there are two people, one will give you a hypocritical good feeling, and the other will bluntly say they dislike you, which one do you like?"

  Xia Zhu looked at Lin Yuanxiao with some surprise, and the latter's method was undoubtedly Lin Yuanxiao's style. In fact, Xia Zhu also liked the latter very much. She told the truth, and saw Lin Yuanxiao smile faintly.

  His smile was very good-looking, and it was clear that he was sincere: "But charity is different," he said lightly. "If it's for the public interest, then hype isn't necessarily a bad thing."

  Lin Yuanxie said, and then pressed the elevator to the 14th floor. His gaze paused in mid-air for a moment before he continued: "You can't expect everyone to make selfless contributions."

  His tone was very light and airy, as if he were pointing at something, yet seemed to be explaining nothing clearly.

  Xia Zhu hesitated for a moment and still didn't ask in the end.

  Lin Yuan gently brushed aside Xia Zhu's fringe with his hand, a rare smile on his face that was almost warm: "You'll understand."

  Xia Zhu didn't quite understand, but that didn't stop her from fixing her gaze on Lin Yuan's face, probing his thoughts. Her intuition told her that this matter was related to Lin Yuan's past... Her heart skipped a beat and accelerated by several beats, after a long while, Xia Zhu finally couldn't help but ask: "Is this matter also related to him?"

  "This time Lin Yuanxi smiled frankly: 'You seem to be very concerned about his affairs.'"

  Xia Zhu noticed that when mentioning that person again, Lin Yuan's expression had become much calmer, and her heart also settled: "I'm very curious."

  "Perhaps I can assume..." Lin Yuan's breathing slowed down a bit, the elevator went all the way smoothly without anyone getting on, and in the narrow and cramped space, Lin Yuan smiled lightly: "You're worried about me?"

  He said this in a very soft voice, as if he was worried about breaking something.

  For some reason, Xia Zhu suddenly felt a little pain in her heart. She looked at Lin Yuan and said firmly: "Yes."

  Lin Yuanxi, who had always been resolute and determined, seemed to have frozen up. He looked at Xia Zhu for a long time, his lips slightly raised as he slowly shook his head: "Don't worry."

  That was his answer, and Xia Zhu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

  The elevator door slowly opened, and Lin Yuanxi went down first, using his hand to help Xia Zhuo block the way. When Xia Zhuo got close enough, he saw a faint smile on his face: "Thank you."

  Xia Zhu was stunned, but Lin Yuan Qi acted as if he had never said those words before and continued walking forward, waving his hand as usual, signaling Xia Zhu to hurry up and follow him.

  Lin Yuan's actions were as usual, but Xia Zhuo was clear in her heart. She shook her head and smiled to herself, following him and analyzing in a low voice: "Why did we come to the 14th floor?"

  The charity gala main venue is on the 13th floor, no need to investigate in advance and came here, let alone Zou Mianyuan and others are all on the 13th floor, do we not need to go over there now?

  Lin Yuanqi took a deep breath and glanced at Xia Zhu with an unpleasant expression: "Are you going to find Meng Yuan or Sheng Yuan?"

  "Ah?"

  "Nothing." Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow and continued to focus on the materials in his hand.

  After a while, Xia Zhu finally saw his relieved expression and knew that he must have found something. As expected, Lin Yuan's excited expression on his face confirmed her thoughts, it was as if several big words were written on his face now.

  "Come ask me quickly!"

  Xia Zhu and Lin Yuanli had been together for a long time, and naturally they were as familiar as flowing water: "Actually... to be honest, I still don't understand..."

  Lin Yuanxi glanced at her and said with a pleasant expression: "If you saw these two people, would you think they were partners?"

  Xia Zhu was stunned for a moment, then thought about the materials she had seen before and the man she had met. She hesitated and shook her head: "It won't be."

  Lin Yuan nodded with his eyes, and Xia Zhu continued: "Normally speaking, I think they belong to a subordinate relationship."

  "That's right," Lin Yuan nodded, his expression still pleasant; "The one we saw might be playing a subordinate role or is that person's apprentice."

  "There were so many arson cases, but only the last one was completely different. So..." Xia Zhu looked up at Lin Yuanxi: "Was it a replacement?"

  Lin Yuanxu looked at the stack of documents in his hand and remained silent.

  Xia Zhu could only continue to go over and look at the materials, after looking for a while, he was puzzled and muttered to himself: "We have always thought that the techniques are very similar, is it because these two people are in a master-apprentice relationship?"

  Lin Yuan's eyebrows were getting tighter and tighter, finally twisting into a knot: "The reason I came to the 14th floor is because..."

  This time, Lin Yuanbo was unusually speechless.

  Why come to the 14th floor? It's as if something is calling, but that thing might just be intuition.

  Lin Yuanxi's intuition told him that there was nothing to be found on the 13th floor, but if that was the case, he wouldn't be able to tell Xia Zhu.

  Xia Zhu looked at Lin Yuanke, her eyes full of trust.

  Lin Yuan shook his head: "Something doesn't feel right."

  His long fingers stopped on the case file in front of him, pointing to the last case: "We've thought of many possibilities, such as the last one being the real purpose, and also, it's a master-apprentice relationship, but there's no reason why the apprentice would be so foolish..."

  Xia Zhu's face turned slightly pale, and she continued: "What's even more unreasonable is that they would send such an obvious clue right to our doorstep."

  If it's for stimulation, then with this arsonist's character, it's more likely that the worst outcome is being laid out.

  All the more

  "Returning to the beginning, this does not conform to the character analysis of an arsonist." Lin Yuanxi closed his eyes, looking somewhat anxious.

  Xia Zhu hesitated for a moment, then reached out and gently patted his back. Her way of comforting people was clumsy and powerless, but Lin Yuan's lips curled up into a faint smile: "I know."

  Xia Zhu's eyes widened, completely not understanding the cause and effect. Lin Yuanxiao had already rushed to the stairs on the side, pulling Xia Zhu down while running, and threw his phone at Xia Zhu: "Call Mengyuan!"

  He himself slid down the stairs with a smooth and elegant motion.

  Zou Muyuan's phone didn't get through, by rights he should be downstairs, no reason to disappear without a trace.

  "Not long after, Lin Yuan's phone rang, and on the other end was Zou Mianyuan."

  Lin Yuanqi's tone was somewhat urgent: "There is a situation, it shouldn't be in the Rose Building."

  "Is it at Yuanyang Company?" Zou Mianyuan was silent for a moment before saying this.

  Lin Yuanji suddenly fell silent, and after a while, he asked, "Something happened?"

  "Hmm," Zou Muyuan's tone was not reproachful, just a bit tired: "The casualties have not been counted yet, this time it was an explosion and arson, the firefighters have already gone in."

  Lin Yuanxi put down the phone and closed his eyes tightly.

  Xia Zhu stood by helplessly, suddenly realizing that the man beside her was actually not a god.

  Everyone is used to relying on him, but when he really makes a mistake, there is no need for anyone else's blame, and he can be driven to death by himself.

  "Yuǎn qī." Xia Zhu hesitated for a long time before finally trying to call out his name.

  Lin Yuanxi did not make a sound, his gaze remained fixed on the white wall of the staircase, his eyes unable to focus.

  Xia Zhu became increasingly anxious, this time she didn't hesitate, and directly reached out to grab Lin Yuan's fingertips: "Can't blame you."

  Lin Yuanqi lowered his eyes and looked at her, with an innocent and bewildered expression.

  "It's not your fault, I didn't think of it either, and neither did Captain," Xia Zhu said in a warm and firm tone: "All we can do is try to avoid the next problem."

  Lin Yuanxu was silent for a moment, then slightly exerted his strength to grasp the tip of Xia Zhu's finger: "When we were at the Sichuan restaurant, they were plotting this attack, waiting for us to fall into the trap."

  Xia Zhu was stunned for a moment, just as he was about to say something, Lin Yuanxi had already regained his usual calm demeanor: "There won't be a next time."

  He stood up straight, his voice cool and determined.

  Although this article has exhausted its limited intelligence to save face...

  But I will definitely persist and won't give up o(￣ヘ￣o＃) fist bump!

  Thank you for everyone's company.
