Now that she was in trouble, he couldn’t just ignore it.
So.
Taking advantage of the relative safety in Donghai City in all aspects, Lin Xian planned to meet Jask first.
If he could clarify the situation and rescue, or even ransom, Angelica back…
Lin Xian didn’t mind reaching some sort of deal with Jask.
After all, it was precisely because Angelica completely trusted him, trying to trick him into disclosing intelligence, that she fell into Jask’s clutches.
He ought to be responsible for her.
In any case, it was very necessary to meet Jask in Donghai City to talk things over.
“I hope Angelica is safe.”
Lin Xian closed his eyes.
He recalled the words Angelica had once said:
“Do you know why I trust you unconditionally?
Even if you are in a bind now, in trouble, and actually have no chips to negotiate with me…

I still trust you.”
“It’s not for any other reason, just because you are a friend recognized by Ji Lin, so…
I will always trust you.”
No matter what his opinion and stance on Ji Lin were.
But for Angelica, Lin Xian had already regarded her as his comrade:
“I will rescue you.”
He said softly:
“If I can’t rescue you…
then it will be Jask’s death sentence, old and new scores settled together!”
…
Several hours later.
The plane landed at Pudong International Airport.
Driver Xiao Li had already been waiting with a brand-new business car at the VIP reception area.
“Boss Lin!”
Though it had only been a few days, Lin Xian and Xiao Li had experienced such a thrilling event, they could be considered comrades in adversity.
Xiao Li, seeing Lin Xian coming, was very excited and jumped out of the car from afar, running over:
“Come, come, Boss Lin, let me take your luggage.
Look— that Alfa Romeo over there is from MX Company, lent to us by President Zhao.
She said that after you come back from Mi Country, choosing and buying a car might take some time, so she lent us one from MX Company to use first.”
“As expected, President Zhao is thoughtful.
She said you are used to this car, and changing to another car might make you uncomfortable, and since MX Company has many Alfa Romeos, she let us use this one first until we get a new car, then we can return it.”
“Did Zhao Yingjun know I went to Mi Country?” Lin Xian asked, looking at Xiao Li.
“She knew, Boss Lin.”
Xiao Li took the suitcase and pushed it forward, saying:
“With such a big incident happening to our car, I had to report back to Brother Wang, right?
However, President Zhao only knows our car broke down, she doesn’t know why specifically, Brother Wang didn’t want to worry President Zhao, so he just said it was rear-ended and sent to a repair shop.”
“As for your trip to Mi Country, Brother Wang didn’t elaborate, just mentioned you were there to discuss some business cooperation, and it wouldn’t take too many days before you could return.
President Zhao didn’t ask further because she was only worried about whether you were injured in the rear-end accident; knowing you were fine and even traveling on business, she didn’t care about the rest.”
Lin Xian nodded:
“That’s good.”
Brother Wang had always been skillful and considerate in handling things, knowing what to say and what not to say.
“Oh?”
Xiao Li then noticed that someone like a tag-along was following Lin Xian!
It was a teenage girl.
Wearing a large baseball cap, a pitifully short ponytail bounced from behind the cap, and the long brim of the baseball cap was pressed very low, almost obscuring her face.
“Boss Lin, this girl is?”
Xiao Li then realized his oversight; he had thought Lin Xian was returning on his own…
because this young and capable boss, except for occasionally dining with President Zhao Yingjun, was always alone.
Who would have thought that today he was even accompanied by a teenage companion!
“Ah, her.”
Lin Xian, with his right hand, pulled Yu Xi from behind to his side and shielded her with his body.
Then he pushed down her baseball cap to prevent Xiao Li from seeing her eyes:
“She’s a cousin from a distant relative’s family in Mi Country, I stayed at their place these past few days, quite a bother.
Now that I’m returning home, she said she wants to come with me for a few days.”
“Oh, oh, oh!
Welcome, welcome!
Little sister, let me help you with your bag!”
Xiao Li eagerly tried to take Yu Xi’s sling bag.
But Yu Xi swung her arm and declined.
The bag didn’t look big, but it was actually quite heavy, filled with jewelry and gold ornaments she had taken from Angelica’s home.
In Yu Xi’s words…
this was called black market hard currency.
Afterwards.
The three got into the car.

Xiao Li, from the driver’s seat, turned back:
“Boss Lin, where shall we go first?”
“First, to an eyeglass store.” Lin Xian answered softly.
Half an hour later, Xiao Li navigated to a large shopping mall full of eyeglass stores, where the stock was plentiful and had everything one could need.
Lin Xian, holding Yu Xi’s hand, entered the large mall, bought several pairs of the darkest color contact lenses and also a few pairs of very dark sunglasses.
Then he led Yu Xi to the stairwell, handed her the contact lens kit:
“Wear these contact lenses, these are the darkest ones and should to some extent cover the blue light in your eyes.”
Yu Xi, staring at the phone clamp and suction cup, was puzzled:
“What is this?”
“Contact lenses, also known as colored contacts.”
Yu Xi cocked her head:
“How do you use this?”
Lin Xian suddenly realized:
“In your era, is there no longer such a thing as nearsightedness?”
Yu Xi nodded:
“Nearsighted and farsighted glasses were already phased out, leaving only decorative sunglasses and plain glasses…
By colored contacts, do you mean those cosmetics that change the pupil color?
We had more advanced methods in our era, not like this…
Can this really be put inside your eye?”
