Chapter 435
Chapter 435: Chapter 63 Who’s Father, Who’s Daughter (Part 1)_2 Chapter 435: Chapter 63 Who’s Father, Who’s Daughter (Part 1)_2 At the same time, she also knew.
That joyous and brilliant birthday party that day had actually been a killing field designed by Ji Lin to murder Lin Xian.
And the moment Lin Xian chose to release Ji Lin without any charges…
was also the moment he buried Ji Lin in a coffin half into the ground.
Because in the reports to the public, Zhou Duanyun was innocent.
After Ji Xinshui’s death, the whole world only knew of his criminal evidence through Ji Lin.
For his own safety, he would certainly find a way to eliminate Ji Lin, so then no one could prove his guilt.
Her father told her:
“Ji Lin is so smart, he must have guessed Lin Xian’s intentions and known what he was planning…
Think about it, I can figure this out after the fact, and Ji Lin is such a smart person, isn’t he?
Perhaps the moment he stepped out of the police station and saw that the announcement lacked evidence of Zhou Duanyun’s crimes, he understood that Lin Xian intended to use him as bait to lure out Zhou Duanyun.”
Chu Anqing listened to this mysterious yet logically rigorous plan, stunned.
She really didn’t know how the minds of these people worked…
This kind of interlocking plan might take her a lifetime to figure out, yet Lin Xian and Ji Lin were playing a game of wits, both shadowy and inscrutable; and…

they both saw through each other so completely.
“Then then then…”
Chu Anqing looked at her father and pressed him:
“If Ji Lin knew he was bait and that Zhou Duanyun would try to kill him, why would he deliberately take the hook!”
Chu Shanhe was silent for a while, sighed softly:
“Perhaps Ji Lin wasn’t so sure he would be killed by Zhou Duanyun.
He was aware that the bracelets on his ankles and wrists had tracking capabilities.
Maybe…
he had originally hoped that Lin Xian would appear in time and rescue him before Zhou Duanyun killed him?”
“Or maybe, did Ji Lin not expect Zhou Duanyun to act so desperately that he would shoot to kill without any restraint?
But I don’t think that’s likely…
there it is again, how clever a person is Ji Lin, what couldn’t he foresee?
Especially Zhou Duanyun, who belonged to the same organization and had worked together for so long?
Ji Lin wouldn’t fail to understand him.
So…”
Chu Shanhe paused:
“So I think, perhaps Ji Lin also hoped, or was betting, betting that Lin Xian, who had been monitoring everything in the area, would come and save him.”
“Of course, in the end, this is just my speculation; no one really knows the specifics.
The appearance and shooting by Zhou Duanyun happened so quickly, Inspector Liu told me that the moment they spotted Zhou Duanyun’s traces, drones and helicopters were immediately sent over…
but everything happened too fast, there was no time to arrive.”
“This kind of strategic game between smart people, it’s not something we can understand, no one knows what they were really thinking.”
He chuckled, rubbing the head of his dearly confused daughter, stroking her soft hair:
“You don’t have to worry about these things.
As a young lady, just live a happy and carefree life.
That’s enough.”
“[Even if the sky falls, there are people like us to uphold it.]”
Chu Anqing nodded her head.
Finally, giving up frying her brain.
Indeed, as her father said.
She couldn’t understand.
Why Ji Lin, knowing he could die, was still willing to act as bait to help Lin Xian draw out Zhou Duanyun.
Could he really face death so calmly?
Was this considered sacrificing oneself for the greater good?
She couldn’t figure it out.
The textbooks said that some people’s deaths are heavier than Mount Tai, while others are lighter than a feather; from this perspective…
𝑛𝘰𝘷𝗴𝘰.co
maybe Ji Lin’s death could only be considered lighter than a feather.
No service to the country or the people,
No heroic cause,
No unforgettable engraving,
No chivalrous heart,
This wasn’t a meaningful death, right?
If everyone must face death one day…
who wouldn’t want their death to be more meaningful, more valuable?
“Forget it, I won’t think about it anymore.”
Chu Anqing shook her head, allowing her brain to cool down and stop pondering the scheming between Lin Xian and Ji Lin.
She just felt…
That she should never bring up Ji Lin in front of Senior Lin Xian again.
It would only sadden him unnecessarily.
…
Regaining her senses.
Chu Anqing looked at the contemplative figure of her senior standing in front of the plane returning to the country, brows slightly furrowed, pondering over the code hidden in the painting:
“I’ve got a great idea!”
She burst out laughing like a pistachio:
“The “The Sorrowful Einstein” we saw at the Donghai Exhibition Center is usually on display at the British Museum.
Since it’s so easy to travel abroad these days…
when we have time, we can go to the British Museum together!
”
“At that time, like we did in Ji Lin’s room, I’ll shine the light from the side and you take a photo of the code from the front, then we can bring it back and study it together, we’re sure to be able to decrypt the answer much faster!”
Lin Xian nodded and smiled:
“That makes sense.
Since we don’t know where the remaining six “The Sorrowful Einsteins” are located, we’ll have to start with the one in the British Museum.
Let’s find a time when we’re free and it’s safe…
to make another trip abroad and take a look there.”
“Then then then then you must call me along!”
Chu Anqing stood on tiptoes, raising her hand:
“I can be your tour guide!
I’ve been to the British Museum during my high school summer vacation!
Although I was too busy playing to appreciate the art there, I’m still very familiar with the layout.
Be sure to take me with you when you go, we’ll go together!”
