Chapter 272 The Surname Zhang

Lin Xi and Xiang Xin landed in Lan Guo together.

When Xiang Xin first learned that Lin Xi was going to Lan Country for a trip, she wasn't very interested. The Land of Light, the birthplace of anime and manga, was more appealing to her.

But when she learned that Lin Xi's trip was related to "saving the world," Xiang Xin responded very enthusiastically to the mission and stated righteously:

"I've been participating in your fitness challenge for the past few years, and my Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) skills have also improved to an advanced level. Saving the world is my duty."

"It's too dangerous for you to be alone, Senior Sister San. You need an excellent assistant!"

"..." Lin Xi was speechless. "Okay, okay."

She wasn't going to fight; she was just gathering information. Xiang Xin has an exceptional talent for reconnaissance, and even without professional military training, her observation skills are still better than Lin Xi's. Moreover, the two of them can observe a wider range of information.

Upon seeing Gu Yixuan, dressed to the nines, at the airport, Lin Xi felt a strange mix of emotions as the three met.

Gu Yixuan and Xiang Xin were companions during several lifetimes of despair, but they never coexisted.

Two people who had no connection in this world met because of Lin Xi's rebirth.

What's even more puzzling is that Miss Gu actually came to the airport to pick people up.

Gu Yixuan and Lin Xi didn't have much tacit understanding. She didn't see what Lin Xi was thinking. She was very happy to see her because, "I've been lonely for a long time. Finally, someone is here to play with me."

As the executor of the mission, Xiang Xin knew Gu Yixuan's identity and the true relationship between Lin Xi and Gu Yixuan. She tried her best to suppress her excitement and sense of mission in carrying out the mission.

Gu Yixuan already knew that Lin Xi had brought a friend this time, but she didn't care as long as someone was there to keep her company.

The three girls had a nice meal, but they didn't have much in common, so their conversation revolved around their trip to Lanzhou.

After a quick meal, Lin Xi and Xiang Xin went to the hotel to adjust to the time difference, but Gu Yixuan didn't mention visiting her home.

Back at the hotel, both girls had dark circles under their eyes.

A message popped up on my phone.

Lu Wei: Have we arrived yet?

Liang Hui: Huh, haven't you replied in two hours?

Lin Xi and Xiang Xin both called their families to let them know they were safe after landing, but they forgot about their families in this group chat.

After chatting for a while, Lu Wei sent Lin Xi his contact information and address via private message, repeatedly reminding him to be careful and not to linger.

Exhausted, Xiang Xin suddenly perked up upon hearing the mission instructions: "Exciting! This is so exciting! The first step of the mission is to conduct an underground transaction!"

They weren't buying guns, so it shouldn't have been that difficult. Although high-precision stealth locators and eavesdropping devices can't be sold on the market, there's still a lot of demand for them in China, with many private buyers. They mainly chose to buy them abroad because of customs issues.

After washing up and making a call to let everyone know they were safe, the two lay on the bed, feeling drowsy.

Xiang Xin: "You're so patient with your parents. My parents keep telling me to be careful and be cautious all the time, I'm so tired of hearing it..."

"..." Xiang Xin had no idea how envious Lin Xi felt in her previous life when she saw the meticulous care and concern that Xiang Xin's parents showed her.

She never tires of hearing this greeting, even though she has heard it for eight years in this lifetime.

Some things you only realize how much you cherish after you've lost them. Lin Xi was lucky; she had the opportunity to get back what she had lost, even though the price was high, because what she gained was worth it.

Xiang Xin: "Is that Miss Gu really the villain's daughter? She doesn't seem like it at all."

Lin Xi: "I never thought of it before."

Xiang Xin: "If her father really is a villain, then your cousin is more like him."

"Why?"

Xiang Xin: "You are all very smart, and you are all in the same professional field."

"This is the result after my rebirth," Lin Xi explained. "Before my rebirth, this wasn't my major."

They're not that "clever".

Although there is no conclusive evidence yet to prove that Gu Yixuan's father created and released the virus, the appearance of the virus is definitely related to this third uncle.

After recalling the person's face, Lin Xi muttered, "Doesn't look like him, except..."

Xiang Xin didn't reply; she had already fallen asleep.

Lin Xi knew that she had never met that third uncle since she was born. They were completely unrelated and had no resemblance whatsoever.

Except for one thing: when he and Lin Xi decided to change their names on a whim, they both changed their surnames to the common surname "Zhang".
