Chapter 48 Summer and Autumn

  Lin Zi Xian himself didn't even know when he sat down again, moving the laptop in front of him, silently flipping through page after page of gruesome photos left behind by international scoundrels, with women, children, and elderly people brutally murdered, the images etched vividly in his mind.

  After finishing, his face became more serious than ever before. He closed the text materials and quickly opened a search engine, entering the address of a game website. He swiftly completed a game task, and immediately a dark and bloody skull page popped up. In the open mouth of the skull was another input window.

  He turned back and stared at Zhang Zhenhang for a moment, Zhang Zhenhang knew he was going to enter the underground world's exchange platform, this platform he could also enter, immediately looked away.

  Lin Zixian quickly entered the access password and pressed Enter, and a magnificent page appeared, which was an exchange platform belonging to the underground world.

  There are various pieces of information on the page, including international oil prices and various futures indices, and even movies to watch. The page scrolls down to the bottom, with killer rankings, task announcements, organizational strength rankings... and other rankings related to the underground world.

  Lin Zile has entered the organization's strength ranking list, and surprisingly found that the international idle person's organization strength has become the first, surpassing the original number one organization "Jidi". However, when opening the task completion rate of the International Idle Person, the level has dropped from the original top-level 3S to 3A, a full three levels down.

  Lin Zi Xian found information about international idlers on the homepage and quietly exited this underground world's exchange platform after viewing it.

  "What are you telling me? I've already withdrawn, so I won't interfere again." Lin Zixian said with a cold face.

  "There's no other meaning to it." Zhang Zhen said with a deep sigh, "We've only heard rumors that within the International Idle People, there are many voices calling for you to return and take control again. If possible, why not go back and restrain them? There's no need to let them become the world's public enemy. With you in charge, at least we don't have to worry about them posing a threat to our country."

  "They chose their own path, they need to pay the price themselves, no need for others to worry about it." Lin Zixian shook his head and pointed at the laptop on the table: "This thing of yours is not bad in quality, I feel pretty good using it, why don't you just give it to me?"

  Zhang Zhen was speechless. The quality of the things specially made by Guoan is naturally good, and the configuration inside is far from comparable to that of ordinary laptops, it's expensive!

  But since he asked, it would be impolite to refuse. Zhang Zhen could only copy some of the contents and then delete and organize some things before closing his laptop and pushing it in front of him, saying: "I'll give you some accessories later."

  Lin Zi glanced at him and said, "There's something I hope you'll pay attention to. I don't want anyone following me all the time. This feeling of being watched constantly is very unpleasant. I think you wouldn't want any misunderstandings either."

  Zhang Zhen was a bit embarrassed, but quickly pulled out paper and pen from his pocket, wrote down a phone number, tore off a note and handed it to him: "This is my phone number, if you need anything, you can contact me at any time. I believe that in the country, you will have times when you need our help."

  "This is indeed the case, your implicit power is great, and domestically there should be very few things that you can't handle." Lin Zixian took over the note, glanced at it, and casually stuffed it into his pocket, then chuckled and said: "My phone number doesn't need to be written down, I suppose you've already gotten your hands on the phone numbers of everyone in the Sakura Snow apartment complex."

  Zhang Zhen smiled awkwardly, seemingly in agreement, but suddenly turned serious and said: "Mr. Lin, I have a question to ask you sincerely, which is also what our superiors want to know the answer to."

  "What's up?" Lin Zixian raised an eyebrow, somewhat resentful of being forced to ask questions.

  But he knew that if one wanted to survive in this country, no matter how capable you were, it was impossible for an individual to confront the power of a nation. The other side represented a powerful organization responsible for the security of a great nation, and they had every right to speak to him in this manner.

  "They want to know why you, with your background, would stoop to being a deputy director of the security department at Ming Hua Group. They also want to know what your true purpose is for returning to China. You're aware that your identity is sensitive, and if we don't get a truthful answer, they won't give up investigating you." Zhang Zhenhang said.

  Lin Zixin said quietly, "Originally I was traveling around the world and wouldn't be returning to my country for a while. Unfortunately, due to some inconvenient reasons, I got entangled with Qiao Antian, and this time he encountered some trouble. He asked me to protect his daughter, but who knew that on the flight back to our country, I unintentionally offended a woman who turned out to be his daughter, Qiao Yun. As a result, she has some complaints about me, and we had a fight. So, I'm taking a temporary leave."

  Zhang Zhen nodded slightly and said, "In that case, judging from the time, those people from the 'Qinglong Gang' who were killed when Qiao An Tian was ambushed should have a relationship with Mr. Lin, otherwise, it would be impossible for those bodyguards to do such a neat job."

  "It was me who did it, I was in Qiao An Tian's car at the time, my identity wasn't convenient to deal with the police, so I left ahead of time." Lin Zi Xian said with a playful tone: "I still have some use value, right? You guys won't turn against me just because I killed those scum, will you?"

  Zhang Zhen smiled and didn't say a word, avoiding the question. Suddenly his eyes turned sharp again: "Mr. Lin, can you confirm that you won't do anything to jeopardize national security when you return to your country?"

  "Are you suspecting that I have ulterior motives for returning to the country?" Lin Zixian's face wore a smile, but his eyes were somewhat chilly.

  "Mr. Lin has misunderstood me, so I'll make it clear." Zhang Zhenxing said in a deep voice, word by word: "We need Mr. Lin's guarantee, Caesar's promise that at any time will not do anything that endangers my country's security."

  "What would be the consequences if it were otherwise?"

  "Answer and we're friends, don't answer..." Zhang Zhen's gaze came over, unyieldingly staring, slowly spitting out the words: "Don't answer and you're an enemy!"

  Lin Zixian's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he said indifferently: "I won't put any shackles on myself. If I want to leave, no one here can stop me. However, Taizu has a saying that represents my attitude: 'If people don't offend me, I won't offend them; if people offend me, I will definitely offend them!'"

  Zhang Zhen nodded slightly after a moment of silence: "I understand Mr. Lin's attitude." He then picked up the notebook computer on the table and raised his hand towards the door: "Please!"

  The two of them had basically completed the transaction and were walking out of the small conference room when Lin Zixuan suddenly stopped and asked, "What's with that Deputy Director Qiu? I feel like he doesn't seem to have a good impression of me?"

  Zhang Zhen hesitated for a moment before saying, "Dong Jiayun, the former head of the Minghua Group's general affairs department, is his younger aunt and also his mistress. Dong Jiayun's son, Gao Yunliang, is also Director Qiu's son in terms of blood relations."

  Lin Zile was stunned for a moment, and finally found the reason why others were not enthusiastic about him. However, this relationship is indeed "reasonable" enough. He couldn't help but click his tongue and say: "Your national security is really all-powerful, even knowing such private matters. This should also be considered illegal! Since you know, why don't you deal with him?"

  "Our national security is the country's sharp tool, not a helper for handling personal life. In unnecessary situations, we also have no right to intervene. When it's time to worry, someone will naturally take care of it."

  "I beat up his mistress and also beat up his young son. What if he retaliates against me?"

  "Somebody must have warned him already, I think he won't make trouble again."

  "It's better this way." Lin Zixian strolled away.

  The police car took him back to Donghai University again, and the police officer who had picked him up handed over a fully packed set of notebook computers.

  Lin Zi, carrying a backpack, had some free time to kill before Zhang Bei Bei got out of school, so he hung out at the school's security department and chatted with a few security guards. When he mentioned that he also worked as a security guard, the school's security personnel immediately felt more affectionate towards him.

  He met Zhang Bei passing by the gate and a security guard waved his hand and shouted: "Lin Ge, come and sit when you have time."

  The two returned to the Sakura Snow apartment, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw a young man full of vitality sitting in the yard under the grape arbor playing with Tong Fei. As soon as Tong Fei saw the two, she immediately shouted loudly: "Mom, mom, Uncle Lin and Aunt Bei are back."

  Tong Yun ran out of the kitchen in a hurry, took Zhang BeiBei from Lin Zixian's hand and entered the living room. Tong Feifei, like a little adult, proactively helped Lin Zixian carry her bag into the house.

  A bright and sunny young man walked up to Lin Zixian and extended his hand with a smile, saying: "Hello, I'm Xia Qiu. You must be Lin Zixian?"

  Lin Zixian shook hands in response and the two sat down under the grape arbor to chat.

  Before long, urban beauty Qin Yue came back from work. As soon as she saw the two under the grape arbor, she walked over and greeted Lin Zi briefly before hugging Xia Qiu's neck and leaning on his shoulder to ask in a low voice: "Are you tired?"

  Xia Qiu grasped the softness in front of her chest and stroked it with a smile: "It's okay, I took a nap this afternoon."

  The two of them still look quite compatible in appearance, especially with that affectionate attitude, even Lin Zi couldn't help but feel envious.

  Qin Yue whispered to Xia Qiu for a while, then sat down beside her, pointing at Lin and laughing: "Yesterday, Brother Lin invited everyone to have dinner together at Ivory Coast, but you were the only one missing. I said back then that we would invite Brother Lin together when you returned. Now that you're free, why don't we do it today?"

  "Alright, let's just wait for Li Mingcheng and the others to come back, and we'll all go together." He then turned his head and jokingly said to Lin Zixian, "But I'm declaring in advance, Brother Lin, Ivory Coast is a place where I can't afford to spend money, so we can only find some random restaurant to make do."
