Chapter 676
Chapter 676: Chapter 39: Kill Jask Chapter 676: Chapter 39: Kill Jask “I must meet Lin Xian in person to clarify many things,”
Jask placed the boat ticket in his pocket:
“What Copernicus said…
indeed makes it impossible to ignore.
People always treat the unknown with respect and an inexplicable trust, and I am no exception.
Thinking about it now, it’s rather naive to believe someone is on your side just because they offer favorable information.”
“Arrogance is indeed undesirable; I never thought such a terrible quality would one day emerge in me.
But then again, I did not fully believe what Copernicus said; after all, one shouldn’t immediately dismiss teammates who have fought alongside oneself for so long based solely on someone else’s words, right?”
“So, the real answer and the truth, I must find, verify, and conclude on my own.
The good news is, I now roughly know how to proceed, and meeting Lin Xian…
will be the final step in my [ultimate confirmation of the truth].”
…
Angelica remained silent.
She was caught in a dilemma.

The information from Copernicus was indeed very tempting, and it was what she most urgently needed at the moment.
But Lin Xian had told her that the assassin pursuing Lin Xian was dispatched by Jask.
This was also confirmed through the secretary, a girl with blue eyes and black short hair, who was Jask’s hidden assassin in the Scenic Iron Tower.
So.
Angelica did not fully believe what Jask had just said.
However, there was one thing Jask was right about.
China, was much safer than Mi Country.
Angelica had no doubts about this.
As long as the three of them were in China, participating in the official meeting, Jask definitely wouldn’t dare to harm Lin Xian; and, as a guest arriving in China together, Jask wouldn’t dare to harm her either; no matter how you look at it, the situation was indeed much better than it is now.
Angelica also hoped that Lin Xian could be a bit safer, less risky.
Otherwise…
Given Lin Xian’s character of valuing loyalty.
By the time he realized his own predicament after being exposed by Jask…
he would probably actively seek out Jask for revenge, demanding people.
But this is Mi Country.
Jask’s power was vast, his connections intertwined; he could cover the sky with one hand.
Lin Xian, facing a serious Jask, would stand alone and have no chance at all.
Even worse, he might even be killed by Jask.
“Sigh…”
Angelica gazed out the window, exhaling deeply.
She could not, because of her own recklessness, drag Lin Xian back into danger.
Thus.
Head to China.
Lure Jask and Lin Xian to the safe and law-abiding China, away from Jask’s home ground.
In that case…
No matter what Lin Xian’s actual intentions are, being on his own turf in Donghai City, his advantage is far greater than the current situation in Mi Country.
“I hope you keep your promise this time, Jask.”
Angelica rose from the sofa.
She crossed her arms, looking at this former world’s wealthiest man:
“I’ll wait for you to tell me about Copernicus.”
Jask smiled.
Spread his hands:
“I always keep my word.”
Soon thereafter.
Jask’s private plane took off from the airport, with Angelica and Jask sitting together in the cabin, preparing to fly to East Sea, China.
Four days later, on April 28th, Jask would attend the Trade Promotion Association meeting in Imperial Capital, meeting with Chinese officials; and during the three days prior to the meeting, he would be in Donghai City, solving this series of mysteries and dealing with the real enemy.
“Oh, I almost forgot, I still have to tweet about it.”
As the plane sped down the runway, Jask took out his phone and opened the Twitter app:
“I wasn’t planning to make my visit to see Zheng Xiangyue public; that girl needs some quiet.
But…
I must let Lin Xian know about it, otherwise, how can I ensure that he’ll definitely come to see me?”
Having said that.
Jask began furiously typing, editing a status update on his social media platform.
Angelica chuckled:
“Then why not let me tweet as well?
My account hasn’t been updated for many days.
Since you want Lin Xian to know I’m also going to China, why not let me post a status to support yours?”
Jask continued to type.
While shaking his head with a smile:
“Angelica, I’m no fool…
even a fool would know what you’re thinking and what you’re planning.”
“Once I clear up the truth of the matter, I’ll naturally give you back to Lin Xian, and give back your freedom.
It’s just these two or three days, so bear with it a little longer.”
Angelica snorted lightly, crossing her legs, looking toward the seat next to Jask.
That seat was not occupied by a person.
But…
There sat a very out-of-place home-use [mini fridge].
This completely white cube-shaped fridge was indeed small; although it was slightly larger than the traditional car-mounted fridge, within the range of home appliances, its size could hardly hold much.
According to Angelica’s estimation.
This mini fridge’s length, width, and height were only about half a meter each, only slightly larger than a typical rice cooker, and there were no evident logos or marks all around:
“It’s not a big deal to bear with it, but I’m just curious…
you’re officially visiting China on business, so why bring a home-purpose mini fridge on the plane?”
“This private plane of yours obviously has fridges and freezers.
Moreover, this mini fridge isn’t even plugged in, so anything stored inside would have spoiled by now, right?

What could possibly be the reason…
for you needing to bring a fridge to China?”
