Chapter 1542 - 1543: Yu Fei's Gift
The next day, Aileen returned to the castle.
Yesterday had left Aileen quite depressed.
With her looks, no man had ever escaped from her charm; Lin Chen was the first.
That bastard, he managed to escape unscathed despite my seduction. Such an unromantic guy, it's no wonder he deserves to be killed by Sputter.
Aileen thought angrily, a sinister gleam in her eyes.
However, although she was angry, deep down, she didn't truly wish for Lin Chen to die.
She even felt a bit guilty; if she could have taken Lin Chen in, maybe this young man wouldn't have to die.
It must be said, her heart had already been moved by Lin Chen.
Beautiful women love heroes. Even though Aileen was a charming woman, she still held some affection for a man as unique and charismatic as Lin Chen.
...
Entering Sputter's study, Aileen gave a brief account of what happened yesterday.
Sputter furrowed his brow: "That's impossible. The camera yesterday was 360 degrees, how could it have only recorded you?"
But when Sputter finished watching the video Aileen showed him, his eyes narrowed slightly.
It seems this kid already knew about our plan and tampered with the camera.
This was the only explanation Sputter could think of.
Their camera was specially used by M country agents; such a low-level mistake couldn't have happened.
Sputter's eyes narrowed slightly: "It seems we really underestimated this young man. He's more of a threat than I imagined."
Listening to Sputter's somewhat sinister tone, Aileen's body trembled slightly.
She understood Sputter, and from his tone, Aileen could tell that Sputter had developed a murderous intent towards Lin Chen.
Aileen quickly said: "Mr. Sputter, perhaps give me another chance. Maybe because it was the first time, this kid was shy. After all, Chinese people are generally shy about these things."
"No need, if it were possible, you wouldn't have failed the first time. This kid is not simple; he can resist the temptations of money, power, and even beauty. Even in my youth, I didn't have his kind of poise," Sputter said flatly.
Aileen sighed helplessly.
The more Sputter valued Chen Lin, the more dangerous he became.
Just then, a Black man walked in.
"Sir, you called for me?" the burly man said in a deep voice.
"Mm, I have a task for you, go to Africa," Sputter handed an envelope to the burly man.
"Yes!" the man nodded, a flash of brilliance in his eyes.
In a villa in Luo city, Lin Chen opened his eyes, his brows slightly furrowed.
He was too seriously injured this time. Although it's been more than a month, his body was still recovering slowly.
At this moment, Lin Chen was anxious, knowing he didn't have much time left to waste.
"Master, good news for you. I just intercepted a message. It's said that a spiritual medicine called Spirit Fruit has recently appeared on Wanling Island in Africa. This fruit bears only three pieces every thousand years and has the effect of cleansing and building the body. If you take one Spirit Fruit, your injuries should heal smoothly," Handsome said.
"Spirit Fruit?" Lin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Find a way to get me an identity, I need to go to Wanling Island," Lin Chen said seriously.
Just then, there was a knock on the door outside.
Lin Chen opened the door, and Yu Fei stood smiling at the door.
"Sister Fei, what's up?" Lin Chen, bare-chested with only big shorts on his lower half, obviously not very presentable.
Yu Fei smiled faintly: "Aren't you inviting me in?"
Lin Chen awkwardly smiled: "Well, the place is a mess."
Once inside, Yu Fei found he seemed to have just woken up, the bed was unmade, and underwear was thrown on the floor.
Yu Fei sat directly on the bed and laughed: "Yesterday's meal was good, wasn't it."
Lin Chen awkwardly smiled: "No matter how good food outside is, it's not as good as home-cooked meals."
"Hmph? Let me smell." Yu Fei sniffed around Lin Chen with her little nose.
"Hmph, a woman's fragrance, just like the smell in my car, did you have a beautiful companion yesterday?" Yu Fei glared at Lin Chen.
"Well, a beauty got drunk, and I sent her home." Lin Chen awkwardly smiled.
"You guys didn't do anything?" Yu Fei's face turned red.
"No, don't you trust my character?" Lin Chen said righteously.
"Of course not," Yu Fei snorted coldly.
"Pfft!" Lin Chen was speechless, it seemed Yu Fei saw through his true nature.
Yu Fei giggled: "I know you wouldn't be swayed by such a woman, after all, if you were, you wouldn't be Lin Chen."
"Such a woman, do you know who she is?" Lin Chen was momentarily stunned.
Yu Fei smiled: "Of course I know, isn't it Aileen under Sputter's command? She's Sputter's trump card."
"Alright!" Lin Chen suddenly felt a bit disappointed, he originally wanted to keep it a secret.
"Didn't you take some advantage yesterday?" Yu Fei looked at Lin Chen knowingly.
"Well, I did take a bit of advantage. By the way, Sister Fei, you didn't come here early in the morning just to interrogate me, did you? Although I did take some advantage, I didn't do anything to betray the gang," Lin Chen said seriously.
Yu Fei rolled her eyes at Lin Chen: "I'm not in the mood to interrogate you. Put your hand out."
Lin Chen was momentarily stunned, but obediently extended his hand.
"No need for two hands, just one is enough. It's not like you're getting handcuffed," Yu Fei's face turned slightly red.
With that, Yu Fei took a watch out of her handbag and placed it on Lin Chen's wrist.
Lin Chen recognized the brand at a glance; it was actually a Patek Philippe.
Wow, what's up with this girl today, that watch is worth over three million.
"Is it nice?" Yu Fei smiled sweetly.
Lin Chen was a bit embarrassed: "It's nice, but isn't this watch too expensive?"
"It's a high-quality imitation, you're overthinking," Yu Fei snorted coldly.
"Master, she's lying to you. This watch is a genuine Patek Philippe limited edition, worth 3.21 million," Handsome immediately exposed Yu Fei's lie.
Despite Yu Fei's deception, Lin Chen felt incredibly touched.
Yu Fei, that girl, must have been worried that he'd accuse her of wasting money, so she said it was an imitation.
Not mentioning the watch's value, but this gesture already moved Lin Chen deeply.
"Thank you for the watch, I really like it," Lin Chen said with a big smile.
"I just wanted to thank you for helping me recently, don't overthink it, okay?" Yu Fei said with a blush.
"Rest assured, I won't overthink, by the way, Sister Fei, I have something to tell you," Lin Chen said solemnly.
"What is it?" Listening to Lin Chen's words, Yu Fei felt a sinking feeling in her heart.
"You're leaving, aren't you?" Yu Fei's eyes carried a hint of sadness.
Lin Chen nodded: "Yeah, I need to leave for a while, but rest assured, I'm not going to Sputter's place; I'm going to Africa for something."
Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Yu Fei finally relaxed: "I knew you wouldn't disappoint me."
