CHAPTER 319: CHAPTER 319: THE JADE PENDANT HEATS UP

"Mr. Lin, how old are you this year? When did you acquire your superpower? Are you born with it or did you acquire it later? Do you..."

Lin Xiaoyan had just sat down when Gao Ze came over, relentlessly asking questions.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at Gao Ze without any expression. She instinctively leaned back to avoid the saliva coming from Gao Ze.

Gao Ze noticed Lin Xiaoyan’s reaction and paused, certain this time that this woman despised him!

Gao Ze’s face turned ugly, "What do you mean?"

Lin Xiaoyan looked at the dark circles under Gao Ze’s eyes and said coldly, "If your private life continues to be so messy, you’d better be careful with your health."

Gao Ze, who was about to lash out, froze, "What... what did you see?"

Will he die?

Gao Ze felt a bit flustered inside.

Yang Manqi, on the side, couldn’t stand it anymore and snorted coldly, "Hmph, anyone can see you’re running on fumes with your exhausted look!"

Others chimed in, "Yeah, Gao Ze, you’ve gone too far, look at your face, all yellow and sallow, someone who doesn’t know better might think you’ve been sucked dry by a vixen!"

"I wanted to say when you just came in, play is fine, but how did you manage to ruin your health?"

"You all know my third uncle, right? He didn’t listen to advice when he was young, look at him now, tsk tsk..." A girl shook her head and said.

Gao Ze looked at that girl; he knew her third uncle, but...

He had unspeakable woes!

Gao Ze sat silently on the side, occasionally glancing at Lin Xiaoyan.

Lin Xiaoyan, of course, noticed Gao Ze’s gaze, but she didn’t want to deal with someone with such indiscreet private life.

"By the way, Qiqi, your cousin is getting engaged, how come no one was invited?" Jing Mengmeng asked.

Lin Xiaoyan had just lifted her cup to drink water, but paused slightly upon hearing that.

Yang Manqi leaned against the sofa, "I heard it was at the other party’s request."

"Huh? Why would anyone make such a request!

If I were getting engaged, I would definitely host a grand engagement ceremony and invite all of you!"

"Me too, I’ve already planned it, I’ll go to the Ugly Country to choose a castle..."

...Listening to these girls’ fantasies, Lin Xiaoyan remained indifferent.

"Qiqi, will you attend the He Family’s engagement?"

Yang Manqi paused, "I suppose..."

Since the luxury cruise isn’t happening, I might as well check out my cousin’s engagement scene and meet the future cousin-in-law.

"Um..."

Gao Ze finally couldn’t resist, moved next to Lin Xiaoyan, and hesitated to say something.

Just as he opened his mouth, the door was pushed open.

"Sorry I’m late!"

A young man walked in.

Lin Xiaoyan turned her head, and at first glance, this man was truly handsome!

But...

Lin Xiaoyan discreetly touched the Jade Pendant on her chest, which was getting warmer, and looked at Jiang Rui with caution.

Jiang Rui walked in, scanned the room, locked his eyes on a stranger girl’s face, besides the woman at the door who was clearly a bodyguard.

"You must be the master of the Special Investigation Bureau? Hello, I’m Jiang Rui."

Jiang Rui wore a polite smile, approached Lin Xiaoyan, extended his hand, and greeted her.

As Jiang Rui approached, the Jade Pendant on her chest became hotter and hotter.

Lin Xiaoyan took a deep breath, feeling as if her chest was burning up.

"Hello."

Lin Xiaoyan, feigning calmness, extended her hand and shook hands with Jiang Rui.

At the moment their hands touched, Jiang Rui quickly withdrew his hand.

He gave Lin Xiaoyan a deep look, and in a place unnoticed by others, his hand trembled slightly.

If anyone looked closely, they would have noticed a patch of blackness where Jiang Rui had touched Lin Xiaoyan’s hand.

Lin Xiaoyan also withdrew her hand and turned to Yang Manqi, "The people, I’ve seen them all. As I just said, if you want to live, don’t go on the cruise."

Yang Manqi and the others quickly waved their hands, "We won’t go, we won’t go, we’re not going!"

On the side, Jiang Rui’s eyes flashed with a sinister look when he heard Lin Xiaoyan say not to go on the cruise.

"Why can’t we go?"

Jiang Rui curiously asked.

Gao Ze pulled Jiang Rui aside and whispered the reason to him.

Lin Xiaoyan only wanted to leave quickly now; she quickly said, "The task is over, one hundred and fifty thousand per person, I’ll send you the account later, remember to transfer it to me."

After speaking, she looked at Nan Xi standing by the door, signaling to leave.

"Continue, I have other things to do, so I’ll be going now."

With that, without waiting for Yang Manqi and others to say anything, she quickly left with Nan Xi.

"One hundred and fifty thousand!!!"

"So expensive..."

"Not expensive at all, is it expensive for a life worth one hundred and fifty thousand?"

"Uh..., my life is very valuable, not expensive!"

"Sigh, I’d just buy one less bag..."

Lin Xiaoyan ignored the discussion behind her.

As soon as they stepped out of the private room, Lin Xiaoyan immediately grabbed Nan Xi’s hand and quickly left the place.

Nan Xi noticed Lin Xiaoyan’s panic, her eyes were vigilant, her whole body tense, and her other hand was on her waist.

After leaving the private club, Lin Xiaoyan slightly breathed a sigh of relief.

She touched the Jade Pendant on her neck, which was now no longer hot, but still slightly warm.

Lin Xiaoyan: "Let’s go, to the Special Investigation Bureau!"

There’s something wrong with Jiang Rui!

Earlier, when she touched Jiang Rui’s hand, she didn’t "see" any images related to him.

Besides, his hand was chilly as if...

Lin Xiaoyan dared not think further, only feeling a chill at the back of her neck.

Upon reaching the Special Investigation Bureau, Lin Xiaoyan finally felt warmth in her body and a sense of security.

At this moment, her phone suddenly rang.

She glanced at it; it was Yang Manqi.

Lin Xiaoyan answered the phone, asking what was the matter.

"Mr. Lin, you haven’t sent your account number yet!"

Lin Xiaoyan paused, "Oh, just a moment, I’ll send it now."

"Um... Mr. Lin, Gao Ze wants your contact info; he said he has something to ask you. Should I give it to him?

If you disagree, I won’t give it to him!"

After hearing this, Lin Xiaoyan, for some reason, thought of Jiang Rui.

She asked, "Are you still at the club?"

Yang Manqi was taken aback, "No, I’m in the car now, getting ready to go home."

Lin Xiaoyan: "You’re driving yourself?"

Yang Manqi: "Yeah, um... I can’t drive?"

Lin Xiaoyan: "No, just drive safely."

Lin Xiaoyan didn’t want to ask more. She said, "It’s okay to give my contact info to Gao Ze."

Yang Manqi immediately agreed.

After hanging up, Lin Xiaoyan sent her account number to Yang Manqi.

Then she headed to the director’s office.

"You say when Jiang Rui approached you, your Jade Pendant heated up?"

Director Qian looked seriously at Lin Xiaoyan.

Lin Xiaoyan nodded solemnly, "Yes, when he stood in front of me, the Jade Pendant was unbearably hot."

Saying this, she took out the Jade Pendant from her neck, "This was given to me by Xuan Er."

Seeing the Jade Pendant, Director Qian’s expression became even more serious.
