Chapter 625 - 622: Capturing Lin Jiawei
The next day.
After a night’s rest, Ling Chen woke up feeling sore in his lower back, a condition that seemed worse than the night before. He shook his head helplessly, realizing that the porridge girl was right; with the injuries he had sustained, it would probably take at least ten days to a half month to fully recover.
Coming out of Hu Fei’s office, Ling Chen yawned, preparing to go to the restroom to relieve himself. Walking down the hallway, he happened to encounter Zhu Xiaozhu coming towards him. Their eyes met, and Zhu Xiaozhu’s pretty face turned red in an instant. She quickly lowered her head, not daring to meet Ling Chen’s gaze.
"Xiaozhu..." To avoid prolonging the awkwardness, Ling Chen opened his mouth to greet her. After all, he was in the wrong last night. As a man, he should be more magnanimous, apologize later, and ask for forgiveness.
But before he could finish speaking, Zhu Xiaozhu walked right past him without saying a word, not even a glance.
Seeing this, Ling Chen touched his nose and let out a bitter chuckle to himself, understanding that Zhu Xiaozhu was too shy to face him. Forget it! He would wait a couple of days for her mood to improve before apologizing.
As he listened to the fading footsteps, the bowing Zhu Xiaozhu suddenly turned her head, looking at the receding figure of Ling Chen with sparkling eyes, clearly deep in thought.
There was still plenty of time. Ling Chen made the time to meet with porridge girl, then drove off from the research base. Accompanying him was Kaelina.
Traveling along the road for roughly forty minutes or so, Ling Chen and Kaelina finally reached their destination - a manor on the outskirts of East Sea City.
Through the car window, Ling Chen, seated in the driver’s seat, observed for a moment, then nodded to himself, "Here we are."
