Afterward, she was locked up here.
Jask was indeed a man of his word.
Even the bodyguards sent to watch over her were two women who were at her beck and call.
Things like books, food, CDs, even small pets…
all her requests were indulged by her caretakers who delivered them as swiftly as possible.
Yet.
She couldn’t help worrying every day…
How was Lin Xian doing?
Was he still safe?
Was he still alive?
Angelica knew that Lin Xian bore a grudge against Kevin Walker, and that Jask had even provided Lin Xian with Kevin Walker’s address.
It did not take much thought to know that Lin Xian was very likely to go and kill Kevin Walker.
On that crucial note to herself, Kevin Walker’s name was very high on the list, which was enough to show that Lin Xian’s attention to this supreme young hacker was a higher priority than even that blue-eyed girl who was after him.

“Only wish you luck, boy.”
Angelica shook her hair, ready to enter the bathroom.
Just then.

One of the female bodyguards in the living room said something into the phone, then came over and bowed to her:
“Miss Angelica, Mr.
Jask will be here soon.
He asks that you get prepared quickly, he is taking you on an international trip.”
“An international trip?”
Angelica frowned slightly:
“To where?”
“To China.”
The female bodyguard shook her head and said:
“Mr.
Jask did not elaborate, he will be here to explain everything to you.”
…
An hour later.
The strong, tall Jask knocked, pushed open the door, and stepped into the living room.
Inside the living room, Angelica was sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, smoking a cigarette.
“Are you packed?”
Jask asked.
“Heh.”
Angelica let out a derisive laugh, turned her head, and blew out a puff of smoke:
“Jask, pretending to be your secretary was wrong of me.
But you’ve had me locked up here for so many days, we’re even now, right?”
“I’m complying with you and allowing myself to be put under house arrest only because there are things in my life I’ve yet to finish, dreams unfulfilled.
It’s not that I can’t bear to part with this life.”
“So, you keep your promise and I keep mine.
I waited for you up until the early hours of the 1st of next month, for you to confirm whether Kevin Walker is really dead.
After that, if you want to kill me, kill me, if you want to let me go, let me go.
I’ll have no complaints.”
“But this business of accompanying you abroad, skip it.
The price for having a Hollywood star accompany someone on a trip abroad is very steep…
Even if you can afford it, that depends on whether I am willing.
And sorry, I am not.”
“You will be willing, Angelica.”
Jask smiled:
“This is a new transaction.
I will tell you the information you want to know.
In exchange, you come with me to China.”
Angelica took a drag on her cigarette, slowly exhaling:
“You know what I want to find out?”
“I don’t know.”
Jask spread his hands:
“But since you took the risk of impersonating my secretary to approach me…
that means you definitely have something you want to know, hence trying to get information from me.
Go ahead, what do you want to know?”
“I want to know everything about Copernicus.”
Angelica still had her legs crossed, she turned her head to look at Jask:
“The very Copernicus who used my phone to call you.
Tell me everything you know about him.”
“No problem.”
Jask agreed without concern:
“After the matter is settled, I will indeed tell you.
Copernicus is not a friend of mine, I don’t know him personally, but what I’ve overheard…
I don’t like him at all.”
“I just don’t know much about the man himself, just bits and pieces.
So prepare yourself for the volume of information and intelligence.”
Angelica leaned forward.
She pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, gave it a twist and extinguished it.
After a few seconds of silence, she looked up again:
“Then what do you want me to do by taking me to China?”
“You don’t have to do anything.”
Jask said:
“You just have to accompany me to meet Lin Xian, that’s all.”
“Lin Xian?”
Angelica narrowed her eyes:
“Lin Xian is in Mi Country, you can meet him whenever you want.”
Jask rubbed his hands together, shook his head with a smile:
“But in Mi Country, Lin Xian won’t dare to meet me, especially while there’s still a misunderstanding…
Whether I invite him or he invites me, we will both consider it a trap and wouldn’t keep the appointment.”
“Even if I let you go now to inform Lin Xian, it would be the same.
Unless he’s a fool, he will suspect it’s a trap I’ve set.”
“But it’s different in China.
China is a very safe country, safe for both me and Lin Xian.
Plus my itinerary being officially accompanied by Chinese officials will be enough to give Lin Xian peace of mind.”
“I still have a lot of things to explain to Lin Xian.
Where there are things I have done, I’m willing to stand up and take responsibility; but for those things I didn’t do, I won’t take the fall.”
Angelica scoffed:
“So you’re that confident that Lin Xian will go to China to meet you?”
“He will.”
Jask pulled a ticket from his pocket.
It read “Flight to the Moon”:
“This time I’m going to China, first to the hospital to visit a young girl, and Lin Xian, he’ll sure come.”
“Why?” Angelica felt it was ridiculous and laughed outright.
“Because I’ve found out.”
Jask waved the ticket in his hand, smiling:
“This ticket to the Moon, worth 1200 US dollars…”
“Was given by Lin Xian to Zheng Xiangyue!”
