“Yu Xi, just wait for me at this staircase entrance; I’d feel safer with this distance.”
“Even if Jask and the others go up and down later, they will take the elevator and won’t pass by this staircase entrance.”
After much thought, Lin Xian found a balance between “don’t leave Yu Xi alone” and “don’t let Yu Xi get exposed in front of Jask.”
He settled Yu Xi at the 17th-floor staircase of the inpatient department, then walked towards Zheng Xiangyue’s ward.
There were two people standing outside the ward.
One was an official from East Sea, and the other was the head nurse.
They did not go in and disturb Jask’s conversation with Zheng Xiangyue, which was Jask’s initial order.
Jask said he wanted to have a relaxed chat with Zheng Xiangyue, just a private chat, nothing too formal.
Lin Xian didn’t get too close either, just quietly standing outside the door.
Soon, Jask, who kept looking back, noticed Lin Xian.
He immediately stood up from Zheng Xiangyue’s ward and stepped outside.
“Lin Xian is my friend,”
Jask said, pointing at Lin Xian, and smiled at the official from East Sea accompanying him:

“We’ll just go over there and have a word, very brief, it won’t affect the schedule later.”“No problem, feel free.”
Afterward,
Jask straightened his suit and approached Lin Xian, offering his right hand:
“Lin Xian, it’s been a long time, let’s shake hands.”
“Where’s Angelica?”
Lin Xian didn’t reach out his hand, getting straight to the point:
“Where’s Angelica?
What have you done to her?”
Jask looked down.
Gave a chuckle.
Then shook his head:
“Lin Xian, if you are looking for Angelica, then you seem to be in the wrong place, she’s not with me.”
“Indeed, she was under my control, and I took good care of her… unfortunately, she still escaped from me, and even stole some things.”
“I would actually love to ask you, do you know where Angelica is?
If you do, kindly let me know.
After all, she has to return what she stole from me, right?”
Lin Xian snorted lightly.
He didn’t believe a single word Jask said.
Angelica had lost contact at Jask’s rocket launch center, and there hadn’t been any signs of activity or communication with him for many days.
Clearly, Jask was lying.
He exhaled through his nose and looked straight into Jask’s eyes:
“So, there’s nothing to talk about?”
Jask too dropped the smile.
His expression serious as he regarded Lin Xian:
“I suppose right now you won’t believe anything I say, would you?
Lin Xian, I believe there must be some misunderstandings between us, perhaps even quite profound misunderstandings.”
“But as things stand, if you want me to provide evidence to prove that these are just misunderstandings, I really can’t produce any.”
“However, I believe that if we both show sincerity and put aside prejudices, and have a proper talk, we should be able to clear up these misunderstandings.”
“Now obviously isn’t the right place, and indeed, I do have something I’d like to show you, which isn’t appropriate to take out in a hospital.
So…
how about we find another time, another place to have a good talk?

How’s that sound?”
He smiled, stood up straight with his hands behind his back:
“In the new district of Lingang, about two kilometers north of the Tesla Super Factory, there is an abandoned factory.
Although it is filled with a lot of construction materials and rubbish, the space is big and quiet, with no disturbances, suitable for a proper talk.
How about tonight at 8 o’clock?
I won’t be late this time…
At 8 o’clock tonight, we will meet at that abandoned factory.
I’ll come alone, without any bodyguards, without anyone else, just me by myself to see you with enough sincerity.”
Having said that,
he waved his hand, bidding Lin Xian goodbye:
“See you tonight, Lin Xian, don’t be absent.”
Turning around,
Jask chuckled as he took the arm of the official from East Sea, and together they courteously entered the elevator, closed the door, and descended to leave.
…
This meeting,
was much shorter than Lin Xian expected.
But what could he do?
Since the other party did not admit that Angelica was in his hands, of course, there was no point in discussing further.
Only, he hadn’t expected…
for Jask to propose another meeting with him, at 8 o’clock tonight, in an abandoned factory in a remote outskirts.
He said it would be a one-on-one meeting.
Is that believable?
Lin Xian certainly wouldn’t naïvely trust him.
Since he was here, and recently he had been busy with spaceflights, running around, and fleeing for his life, he hadn’t visited Zheng Xiangyue in a long time.
He might as well take this opportunity to pay her a visit.
He walked to the front of the ward, gently knocked on the open door, and locked eyes with Zheng Xiangyue, who was holding an urn.
“Brother Lin Xian!”
Zheng Xiangyue tilted her head and smiled, her waterfall-like black hair cascading down.
She placed the urn back on the bedside table.
Then trotted over, took Lin Xian’s hand:
“Brother Lin Xian!
Do you know who came just now?
Jask was here!
The Jask who sells tickets for Moon voyages!
He told me all about it!
Said that the ticket was a gift from you to me!
For such a long time…
why didn’t you tell me you bought it?”
Lin Xian smiled slightly.
He walked into the ward with Zheng Xiangyue, listening to her chatter excitedly about Jask’s visit.
“Now that you know, I won’t keep it secret any longer.”
Lin Xian admitted truthfully:
“Actually, strictly speaking, the ticket did pass through my hands, but the money for buying the ticket came from another friend of your brother’s, from his will.
He knew about your dream, and he was aware of your situation with your brother, so…
before his passing, he made a good deed happen, making your dream come true.”
