Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents-Chapter 567 - 430: Director Jack Has a Problem (2)
Lu Lin got up from the sofa, preparing to leave. Behind him, Chen Xiran had just picked up a glass of water, and seeing Lu Lin’s movement, hurriedly stood up to follow.
"Mr. Lu, are you leaving already? I had prepared a welcome banquet at noon and invited many local colleagues from the Detective Department..."
"No need."
Lu Lin paused at the entrance, suddenly turning to Jack, "I have one more question, Jack, could you clarify something for me?"
"Oh, feel free to ask, Mr. Lu."
Jack slightly raised his eyebrows and said.
"Does Director Jack know about the Superman Research Laboratory?"
"This... of course, I know about it."
Jack subconsciously shuddered, his footsteps subtly shifting half a step back, "Why do you suddenly bring this up, Mr. Lu? The Superman Research Laboratory has always been secretive. Although I’ve always heard about them, I couldn’t find further information."
"Oh? Then has Director Jack ever considered that the stable condition in the Star Coordinator Division Branch of North Magnesium, with no Star Core Warrior crimes, might be related to the Superman Research Laboratory?"
Lu Lin stared straight into Jack’s eyes. Jack’s gaze kept avoiding, but it was of no use.
"Well, I... I haven’t considered it."
"Ahem, however, this is the first time I’ve heard of Mr. Lu’s thought; I’ll study it with my colleagues from the branch."
At this point, Jack’s mood had relaxed considerably, and he no longer avoided Lu Lin’s gaze.
"However, why did Mr. Lu suddenly ask about this laboratory? Did you get any information?"
A slight smile tugged at Lu Lin’s lips, "No, or perhaps not yet." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
"Alright, Director Jack, you can carry on with your work. I haven’t been to Luo Sanji yet; I’ll ask for your help if needed."
"Hmm, alright, no problem."
Beads of sweat inadvertently rolled down Jack’s temples, but Lu Lin seemingly didn’t notice, nodded to him, and opened the room door to leave.
As Jack watched from the tall and bright floor-to-ceiling window, Lu Lin and Chen Xiran left the courtyard of the villa. Only then did Jack heavily slump into his large office chair.
Earlier, he felt he was just a step away from revealing something.
After a brief rest, he opened a drawer on his desk, took out an old-fashioned phone, and pressed a few buttons.
"Beeeeep—"
A long tone came from the microphone, indicating everything was fine.
Suddenly, he heard a knocking sound at the door.
"Knock knock."
"Who!"
Jack quickly set aside the microphone in his hand, placed the phone back in the drawer, and stood up to close the drawer.
"It’s me, Director Jack."
Lu Lin’s voice came from outside. Jack wiped the sudden sweat from his forehead, quickly walked over, and opened the door to see Lu Lin returning. Jack puzzledly asked, "Mr. Lu, is there something else?"
"I forgot to tell you, Director Jack, please do not mention my arrival to anyone."
"Sure, no problem."
Jack readily agreed, "Mr. Lu, all investigators in our Star Investigation Office have confidential identities. Occasionally, there are official deployments, but only the local Director of Star Investigation Office will know."
"If your identity was revealed on the North Magnesium side, I’d be held accountable to an extreme extent."
"Thank you very much, Director Jack."
"And by the way, your use of idioms is quite good."
After speaking, Lu Lin disappeared before Jack’s eyes, teleporting away.
"Oh, shit!"
Jack couldn’t help but curse, slamming the room door shut with a loud bang.
This Lu Lin, relying on his status as a Titled King, didn’t regard him, the Director of the Star Coordinator Division Branch.
Furthermore, that smile on the guy’s face made Jack feel uneasy, as if those eyes could see straight through a person’s heart.
The key was, that Lu Lin’s timing of teleportation was too coincidental.
Did he really discover something?
Jack’s expression was uncertain, no longer reflecting the straightforwardness from his initial meeting with Lu Lin. After a moment of thought, Jack opened the drawer with the old-fashioned phone, extracted a small chip from the phone base, and then crushed the phone into pieces.
As the Division Director, although Jack’s ability couldn’t compare to the previous Long Qianli, he had reached the Seventh Level Golden Body Realm.
As for the chip inside the phone, after a moment of hesitation, Jack directly snapped it in two. With a flick of his fingers, the chip turned into powder, falling from his fingertips.
Lu Lin, observing every move Jack made in the office through telepathic means, smiled even more.
"Chen Xiran, let’s go; there’s nothing left here."
"Do you want a hamburger or pizza for lunch?"
"No way, team leader, can we have some delicious Hua Xia cuisine instead, even egg-fried rice will do."
"I’ve had enough nutritional meals and so-called Western cuisine during these days in the sanatorium."
Chen Xiran quickly showed a hint of impatience.
She could never have thought that what troubled her on her trip wasn’t about flight tickets, boring itineraries, or long waits.
But about the food.
As a native Hua Xia ethnic group girl, Chen Xiran never realized how much she loved Hua Xia cuisine until then.
"Haha, alright, I’ll treat you to egg-fried rice then."
Lu Lin chuckled and took Chen Xiran to the famous Chinatown in Luo Sanji, choosing a promising-looking restaurant. Upon entering, Lu Lin called out, "One order of egg-fried rice for my friend, thank you."
Then, amidst Chen Xiran’s resentful expression, he also ordered spicy fish fillet, twice-cooked pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, steamed chicken with rice, crispy pork, and two braised meatballs with a large bowl of rice.
Feeling pleased after finishing lunch, Lu Lin took his supercar out of the storage ring.
"Come on, get in the car, I’ll take you for a spin."
"Alright then."
Chen Xiran sat in the copilot position, watching Lu Lin operate the car and then set the autopilot mode.
She thought Lu Lin was a hidden racing master ready to showcase some skills before his attractive female subordinate, but instead, he activated autopilot.
"Don’t ask, don’t speak; actually, I’ve never driven a car,"
Lu Lin hummed as he leaned back in his seat, untroubled and at ease.
Chen Xiran gritted her teeth in frustration, wondering how this guy could be so carefree.
Does he not realize his beautiful, kind, and gentle female subordinate has just experienced a major psychological trauma?
"Chen Xiran, prepare for combat; later, I’ll give you a fighting opportunity."
"Don’t let me down."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiran immediately became tense.
Team leader, why didn’t you mention the combat mission earlier? Shouldn’t there be a psychological setup beforehand?
Announcing the mission out of the blue, how can anyone handle it?
However, Lu Lin only tasked with arrangement, didn’t care about how Chen Xiran thought or prepared.
Seeing this, Chen Xiran could only adjust her internal Star Power status.
This action further strengthened Lu Lin’s resolve to conduct special training for the team members.
Chen Xiran, as a Fourth Level Star Core Warrior, still needed preparation to enter combat mode.
If someone were to launch a surprise attack at this time...
"Bang!"
While thinking this, Lu Lin keenly heard a gunshot.
He immediately stopped the autopilot and slowed down the supercar’s speed.
