“Jask isn’t coming anymore?”
“`
Yu Xi, wearing huge sunglasses on her face, twisted her head around from the passenger seat.
She had been staring at the rearview mirror to her right for an hour.
Even for her enhanced eyes, being fixated on the small reflection for so long was inevitably tiring:
“Now it’s already 11 a.m., a whole hour late from the 10 o’clock he mentioned.”
“Could it be…
Lin Xian, could this be a smokescreen that Jask has thrown?
He lured you here and then went off to do other things.”
Lin Xian stared at the rearview mirror on the left side of the car without shifting his gaze and spoke softly:
“What’s the point of him throwing a smokescreen at me now?
We have no initiative at all at the moment.
If you mean to say, that Time-Space Assassin has already entered Donghai and is preparing to hunt us down…

then it would make sense for Jask to throw a smokescreen here to lure me over.”
“But haven’t you confirmed several times that the Time-Space Assassin has not yet entered Donghai City?”
Yu Xi nodded and, like Lin Xian, turned her head to continue monitoring the rearview mirror:
“That’s right.
Although I don’t know why, I can sense that the Time-Space Assassin hasn’t entered Donghai…
and is moving further away, starting to move northward in the sea area outside of Donghai City.”
“Perhaps she really couldn’t find a breakthrough here in Donghai and thus couldn’t come in, so she’s trying her luck elsewhere?
So for now, we are safe, there’s no need to worry about the Time-Space Assassin suddenly appearing.”
Moving northward…
Listening to Yu Xi’s words, Lin Xian began to analyze.
The defensive deployment of Donghai City against the Time-Space Assassin was personally directed by Liu An, the head of the National Security Bureau, and was quite substantial.
That’s probably also why the Time-Space Assassin couldn’t penetrate the borders of Donghai.
But if she took a detour and burst in from a city to the north…
maybe the defense wouldn’t be as strict, and she really might be able to slip through.
After all, there are no impenetrable walls under heaven, and with China’s long coastline, plus the Time-Space Assassin’s exaggerated physical abilities, infiltration was likely only a matter of time.
Fortunately.

Yu Xi was able to sense the distance and direction of the Time-Space Assassin, and once the other party truly broke through and got close, she would warn him in advance.
“So.”
Lin Xian continued:
“Since we’re ruling out the possibility of being hunted by the Time-Space Assassin, there is no point in Jask setting up this smokescreen for me.
Moreover, the whole world knows about Jask visiting Zheng Xiangyue to deliver her tickets; it wouldn’t look good for him to stand her up in front of the whole world, would it?”
“Plus, the trip is accompanied by official VIPs from Donghai City, and with the Tesla Super Factory here in Donghai being officially backed, he wouldn’t dare to fail to show up for the city officials…
Doing that would be acting too big for his boots and would surely sour relations with Donghai officials, right?”
“Unless…”
Lin Xian pursed his lips, thinking of another possibility:
“Unless something particularly important made Jask deceive the whole world and stand up Donghai’s officials.
If so, this move would be very clever…
Everyone thinks he wouldn’t possibly miss going to the hospital or dare to stand up the Donghai officials, but if he did just that, it would catch everyone by surprise and leave them unprepared.”
“However, I still think that Jask will definitely come.
Since Zheng Xiangyue is a girl with congenital heart disease, and since Jask promised to give her the tickets…
Being late is one thing, but not showing up at all would cause too big of a stir, and would disappoint such a pitiful little girl.
What if Zheng Xiangyue, overwhelmed by too much anticipation, ends up heartbroken when her expectations fall flat, leading to a heart attack?
The world mostly harbors absolutely pure goodwill towards children; Jask probably wouldn’t break his promise.
Right…
let me check his Twitter, it should have his latest itinerary updated by now.”
…
Donghai, Lin’gang New Area, Tesla Super Factory.
The black motorcade entered the factory in an orderly fashion, arriving again at the building where Angelica had previously stayed.
Angelica, the female secretary, Jask, and a small refrigerator sat side by side in the back seats of the luxury business car, each in their own seat, not crowding anyone.
Angelica turned her head.
She saw Jask holding his phone, furiously typing away, clickety-clack.
“What are you doing?”
Angelica asked:
“You’ve been typing for a long time, are you writing an essay?”
“I’m clashing with netizens.”
Jask typed furiously:
“They’re all blasting me, saying I’m not punctual in visiting Zheng Xiangyue, calling me a liar.”
Angelica snorted lightly, “You indeed weren’t punctual.”
“[To deceive Copernicus, one must deceive everyone.]” Jask finished battling on his phone and looked up:
“Nobody knew about my sudden change of itinerary en route, other than myself, including my female secretary.”
The secretary sitting behind them nodded, pushing up her red-framed glasses that had slid down again with the index finger of her right hand:
“You better come up with a suitable reason to give a good explanation to the VIPs from Donghai’s officials…
Honestly, being a little late to meet Zheng Xiangyue is no big deal, as long as you definitely go today and deliver the ticket, all this is trivial.”
“But you really went too far with the officials of Donghai City.
So many influential people arranged their schedules waiting for you, and you stood them up without a word, and even now, you haven’t given an excuse; you also make my work very difficult.”
