187: Go to the library

Lin Yu had no interest in the petrified passersby around him.

His goal had been achieved, and one could even say it was overachieved.

Not only had he found a perfect agent, but he also got a seemingly more proactive and useful “overseer” as a bonus.

“Uncle Wang, it’s settled then. For the specific work, I’ll have Qingxuan handle the handover with you.”

He spoke, putting an end to the matter.

Wang Han nodded weakly.

What else could he say? His daughter was practically selling herself out; as a father, what could he do but get on board? Could he jump ship?

“Then I’ll take my leave.” Lin Yu said, preparing to turn and depart.

He had more important things to do.

However, just as he took a step.

A fiery red figure flashed directly in front of him.

It was Wang Qingxuan.

“Lin Yu Ge, wait a moment!”

Lin Yu stopped, looking at her.

The young lady, who had just “backstabbed” her own father, showed no trace of guilt on her face; instead, she looked as if it was only natural.

“Where are you going? I’m coming with you!”

As soon as she said this, Wang Han, who had just caught his breath, nearly fainted again.

“Nonsense! What are you going for! You know nothing about the company’s affairs!”

“If I don’t understand, I can learn!” Wang Qingxuan retorted without looking back. “Besides, I’m Lin Yu Ge’s subordinate now. What’s wrong with an employee following her boss wherever he goes?”

She even winked at Lin Yu, a mischievous look on her face, as if asking, “Don’t you think I’m right?”

Wang Han was so angry he wanted to hit someone.

How many minutes had it been? And she’s already gotten into character?

Subordinate? Employee?

Is the identity of Tianqing Group’s young lady no longer needed?

Lin Yu looked at the imposing girl in front of him but didn’t immediately refuse.

He pondered for a moment.

Wang Qingxuan’s temperament was indeed completely different from Wang Han’s.

Wang Han was a typical businessman, mature and steady, valuing rules and social etiquette. When facing someone like Li Mo, he might be able to suppress him with experience and status, but he would inevitably get entangled in the opponent’s sinister tactics.

As for Wang Qingxuan… she possessed a kind of unreasonable assertiveness.

A directness that stemmed from her privileged upbringing, spoiled into only recognizing the goal and not caring about the means.

This personality might be a fatal flaw in business negotiations.

But used against someone like Li Mo, it might have an unexpected effect.

What kind of person was Li Mo?

A complete opportunist, a refined egoist.

He could unhesitatingly betray Chen Ao because Chen Ao had lost. He could humbly surrender to himself because he was the victor.

His very bones were filled with fear of power.

To put it simply, Li Mo feared him, but Wang Qingxuan, on the other hand, did not.

Li Mo might be outstanding in various abilities, but Wang Qingxuan wouldn’t reason with him.

This combination… seemed even more effective than the Wang Han-Li Mo combination.

Lin Yu’s thoughts only spun for an instant before he made a decision.

“That’s fine too.”

He nodded. “Anyway, you’re just idling around.”

“That’s great!” Wang Qingxuan’s face instantly bloomed into a brilliant smile. She triumphantly glanced back at her father, who already looked utterly disheartened, then very naturally stood beside Lin Yu, adopting a posture that said, “I am his person.”

Wang Han clutched his chest.

Heartache. This girl’s change of identity was too fast.

“Let’s go.”

After bidding farewell to Uncle Wang, Lin Yu turned and walked towards the main entrance.

Wang Qingxuan immediately followed closely, her high heels clicking.

The two walked one after another, passing through the magnificent hall.

Leaving behind a shattered worldview.

And three completely petrified people.

Stepping out of Tianqing Building, the sunlight outside was a bit dazzling.

Lin Yu took out his phone and dialed Lin Yao’s number.

The call connected quickly, and a cacophony of cheers and music came from the background.

“Ge! What’s up?” Lin Yao’s voice was full of vitality.

“Is the party over?”

“Huh?” Lin Yao laughed on the other end, “How could it be that fast! We just arrived and are about to order! It’s a graduation party, you know, we’ll definitely play until very late!”

Alright, he had taken it for granted.

It had been too long since he had experienced such a normal life belonging to ordinary students.

He had never even been to a graduation party… but usually, these things are held after exams, right?

Ah, yes, the exams for combat professions and non-combat professions are different, and the times are also different.

Well, it’s good. His little sister had been cooped up with daily training for this period.

“Okay, then have fun. When you’re ready to come back, call me in advance, and I’ll come pick you up.”

The location of the black market “Insect Dwelling” was not somewhere an ordinary high school student could find.

“Got it, got it, don’t worry!”

Lin Yao obediently agreed on the other end, then chattered to her little sister, “My brother is rushing me home,” before hanging up.

Lin Yu put away his phone, just about to plan his next route.

Wang Qingxuan immediately leaned in beside him, her face full of curiosity.

“Boss, where are we going next?”

She had already very naturally started calling him “Boss.”

Lin Yu glanced at her, not correcting the address.

“The Municipal Library.”

“Huh?”

Wang Qingxuan froze, her bright eyes filled with question marks.

Library?

She had imagined ten thousand possibilities.

Going to some mysterious underground stronghold? Meeting some hidden master in the city? Or simply storming Fengxing Technology for an earth-shattering battle?

And the result… is going to the library?

The contrast was too great.

Lin Yu did not explain.

Of course, he wasn’t really going to cultivate his mind out of boredom.

Regarding the advancement of Card Creation, card recipes, the secrets of skill proficiency, the “Archaic” ranks that surpassed mythical levels, and even the ethereal “Source.”

This knowledge would absolutely not be easily available on the internet for anyone to look up.

Theoretically, all kinds of information have electronic files.

But Lin Yu had no trust whatsoever in those guys responsible for digitizing the data.

Information can be modified, encrypted, or even completely erased.

Only those dusty paper documents forgotten in corners might hide the real secrets.

This was the most foolish method.

It was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But Lin Yu could only approach it with a “desperate times call for desperate measures” attitude and try his luck.

He was just idling around anyway.

Young people gather together, and he couldn’t go join the fun.

Damn it… I’m not that old, am I?

Why am I so old-fashioned now?

Perhaps, his identity had changed.

Wang Qingxuan quickly recovered from her initial astonishment, her face immediately beaming with a brilliant smile, her attitude doing a complete 180-degree turn.

“The library is great! I love reading the most! Reading widely, expanding my horizons!”

As she spoke, she nodded earnestly, as if she really were a literary and intellectual young woman.
