Chapter 12 Squatting

"Hello, do you have a reservation? We won't let you in without a reservation."

The lobby security guard stopped Lin Jin.

Lin Jin stepped on the smooth floor tiles and looked straight at the signboards of "Orange Entertainment Company" in the lobby.

It is now eight o'clock in the morning. People are coming and going in the lobby. They are all white-collar workers entering the company in exquisite clothes and wearing work badges.

Almost everyone had a cup of coffee in their hands and walked hurriedly. After entering the door, they swiped their cards and went upstairs.

Rarely, there would be some handsome artists wearing glasses coming down from upstairs.

Compared with them, Lin Jin, who had no work badge and was wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, was naturally stopped by the security guard.

"Uncle, I don't have a reservation. I'm tired from playing. Can I sit in the lobby for a while?"

Lin Jin turned her head and stared at the tall and strong security guard in front of her, asking with a calm and sincere look.

The security guard was stunned for a moment. Whose child is so ignorant that he runs to someone else's company downstairs to rest during his break?

He thought about it, reluctantly withdrew his hand, pointed to the sofa on the left side of the lobby and said, "Go ahead, you can rest there, but you can't go upstairs."

"Thank you, uncle."

Lin Jin thanked her and walked to the rest area with her schoolbag on her back and sat down obediently.

She found a place where she could see the elevator passage and took out her cell phone to look through the travel guide for Anshi.

The security guard came by several times during the journey, and seeing that Lin Jin was only focused on playing with her phone, he went back to continue guarding the gate without any worries.

It's not that he was worried. Entertainment companies like them are most afraid of illegitimate children sneaking in. If they sneak upstairs without being noticed and cause trouble, it would be a big deal.

If we don't let anyone in and are afraid of problems, the company will probably be on the headlines tomorrow if we say no.

He has even thought of a title.

[The security guard of Orange Entertainment Company bullied the girl and she was cruelly rejected...]

The security guard was speechless and could only resign himself to his fate by circling around Lin Jin a few more times, hoping that she would be tactful and leave earlier.

After resting for two hours, seeing that the security guard was becoming more and more impatient, Lin Jin had no choice but to pack up her bag and go out.

"Uncle, thank you. I'm rested now."

She waved to the security guard and left the Orange Company under the fiery gaze of the people.

After the sight behind her disappeared, Lin Jin immediately turned back, chose a perspective where the security guard could not see her, and continued to squat in the flower bed.

Days like this would go on for several days. Whenever Lin Jin had no classes, she would run to wait outside the Orange Company.

Finally, her hard work paid off. On the fifth day of surveillance, she finally saw the target person appear.

A black car slowly stopped downstairs and Cheng Lilian got out of the car in a hurry. She didn't even close the door and went straight upstairs into the lobby.

Lin Jin's eyes flashed, and she avoided the camera and hid in the bushes. The next moment, a spot of light fell to the ground, disappeared, and floated towards the black car.

She crawled under the passenger seat and waited for about ten minutes before Cheng Lillian opened the door and got in the car.

This time, Cheng Lilian was not at all anxious as she was when she got off the car before. With a faint smile on her lips, she dialed a number.

"Hey! You have a notice at Kongping Mountain tomorrow. I'll send a car to pick you up tomorrow morning. You must arrive at the scenic spot before eight o'clock."

"I heard that Premier Wen will be here tomorrow. Be smart."

"Ha! So what if Xu Ran has resources? If you don't think much of them, there are many people who want them. If you don't want to go, I'll change you right away."

slowly!

Lin Jin's heart tightened, and she manipulated the space to drill out from under the chair, floated to Cheng Lilian's side, and stuck it to her phone to write down her lock screen password.

After saying that, Cheng Lilian hung up the phone, threw the phone into the passenger seat, and drove away from the company.

Lin Jin immediately got the phone through the space, entered the password, opened Fetion and searched for information related to Xu Ran.

As soon as I opened Fetion, I saw that there was no chat history with Xu Ran. Except for a few accounts marked with asterisks, there was not even an advertisement push.

Lin Jin did not give up and searched several times but still found nothing related to Xu Ran. The chat records were all up to yesterday, and all the previous historical records had been deleted.

Is it intentional or out of habit that it’s so clean?

She opened other apps and glanced at the contents, but found nothing again and threw the phone back to her seat.

He floated in front of Cheng Lilian and stared at this face that Ran Ran thought was as kind as her mother, and he felt nauseous.

The more harmless a person appears, the more cruel his methods are.

“A-choo!”

Cheng Lilian sneezed several times in succession.

Lin Jin left the steering wheel in disgust and floated out of the car before the window closed.

......

It’s 8 o’clock in the evening in an office building in Beijing.

Shen Peirong hurriedly walked out of the elevator, pushed open the door of an office, walked up to a person and stopped.

"Connect to Anshi."

The man raised his head from the computer and tapped the keyboard twice with his hands. Soon a projection appeared on the opposite wall.

It was dark in the projection, with only two heads leaning in front of the screen. When they saw Shen Peirong appear, they hurried forward to report.

"Reporting to the Director, our people have detected an abnormal situation in Kongping Mountain in Anshi. A human-faced tree root has inexplicably appeared in the scenic area, and some passing tourists have noticed it."

Shen Peirong looked behind them and saw a tree root as long as her arm with human facial features clinging tightly to a tree.

This root also has no eyes, is small in size, and is closely connected to the tree.

"What level?"

"D-class."

Shen Peirong's heart sank. It was D-level, about the same level as the humanoid stone.

It took several days to control it last time, why did it appear again now?

"Director? Director, what should we do now? Qi Ke and Huang Yu can't go on. They haven't recovered yet."

An anxious voice came from the other end of the screen.

Shen Lingyu glanced at the gloomy-looking grandmother and gently tugged at her sleeve, “Grandma.”

Shen Peirong immediately made a decision, "You guys take control first, we'll fly to An City tonight."

"Yes, the Director."

The two people on the other end of the screen saluted and ended the call.

Shen Peirong looked at the group of people who were eager to try and said, "Don't even think about it. Just guard the base camp well."

The man who was tapping the screen looked depressed. "Director, I passed the assessment after going through a lot of hardships. I wanted to show off my skills, but now I haven't been on a field mission for more than half a year."

“Bang!”

A girl sitting behind him took a notebook and gently hit him on the back of the head, "Go away, if anyone wants to go, I'll go first."

Feng Xun raised her hand to recommend herself to Shen Peirong, "Director, I have been here for two years. Can you take me with you? I want to see the supernatural events in China with my own eyes."

Shen Peirong also refused, "No, this time only Lingyu and I will go. Next time if there is a case in Beijing, I won't stop you."

"All right!"

Feng Xun sat down dejectedly.

Shen Peirong instructed a group of people to pay more attention to the surveillance and report to her at any time if any situation occurs.

Then she took Shen Lingyu downstairs, and the two of them passed through multiple security checks, swiping their irises again and again before taking the elevator directly downstairs.

A low-key black business car was waiting downstairs, and the two got in and headed straight for the airport.

Shen Lingyu sat in the back seat, looking at the building that was gradually moving away behind him, staring at the four signs of "Natural Research" on the roof, and silently hugged the sword in his hand that he never left.
