Chapter 173 Life is very nourishing
After discussions over the past few days, the intelligence personnel of the pursuit team all felt that Song Huaijin, as Lin Xi's only local friend, was definitely the breakthrough point in finding Lin Xi's whereabouts, and Lin Xi must have contacted Song Huaijin during his escape.
Moreover, there was no trace of Lin Xi through surveillance or phone calls, and they had no other choice but to monitor Song Huaijin.
As soon as Lin Xi entered the bar, she discovered the person who was monitoring Song Huaijin. The person kept glancing at Song Huaijin, and it was hard not to notice him.
But it doesn’t matter, Lin Xi came in invisible.
Song Huaijin sat alone on the sofa, holding a glass of wine, taking a sip only occasionally. Those hot and sexy girls could not attract his attention. His eyes were clear, as if he was a calm spectator, out of tune with the bustling world of feasting and revelry.
He noticed Lin Xi when she was still a few steps away from him. He slowly put down the wine glass in his hand and leaned back on the sofa.
Lin Xi didn't dare sit on the sofa, for fear that the sofa would sink and expose her. After all, invisibility only distorts light.
She walked over to Song Huaijin, squatted down, and pulled his trouser leg.
Song Huaijin changed his posture, slightly bent forward, and said quickly and quietly, "There's no definite news over there yet. They say there's no clue at all. For your safety, I think we can contact each other again in a week."
Lin Xi agreed softly, "Okay, I'll go first."
Song Huaijin was a little worried about Lin Xi. "Where have you been staying these days? Are you eating well? I withdrew some cash. It's in my pocket. You can use it first."
Lin Xi whispered, "No need, I found a tutoring job. I have a place to live and a salary."
"By the way, what happened to the line that contacted Zhou Ying before?"
Song Huaijin propped his hand on his cheek to block the gaze from not far away. "I haven't found any problems yet. It must be that the military deliberately released false information and our intelligence personnel got it."
Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
If there is a real rebellion, it will mean bloodshed.
Moreover, it is easy to imagine how difficult it is for Hua Country to plant a spy in Bai Country’s military.
"Then I'll be leaving first. Be careful when you meet Zhou Ying."
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Huaijin felt a breeze blowing past, and he knew that Lin Xi was gone.
Song Huaijin continued to sit in the bar for a while, and when it was his usual time to leave, he got up and left.
Lin Xi returned to her attic without anyone noticing and went to bed.
The next morning, Lin Xi took Owen out.
She only needs to attend two French classes a day and has free time the rest of the time. The family only allows her to use the kitchen, and she has to buy groceries and cook for herself.
Going to a supermarket to shop is a dangerous thing. There are cameras everywhere in the supermarket and it is difficult to avoid them.
Lin Xi did not go into the nearby supermarket, but took a detour to a Chinese supermarket.
According to her analysis, the investigation team has eighteen fugitives to hunt down. At the beginning of the program, they will not focus too much attention on her. As more people are arrested, there will be more manpower. At that time, the Chinese supermarket may also be their surveillance target.
Lin Xi still wore glasses, her eyebrows had changed, and the corners of her eyes and mouth were a little droopy, making her look like a young woman in her twenties.
After buying all the dishes and checking out, a Chinese female cashier stared at Lin Xi for a while, then suddenly asked in surprise, "Has anyone ever told you that you look a bit like Lin Xi?"
Lin Xi touched her face. "Really? I don't think so. This is the first time someone has said I look like Lin Xi."
The cashier quickly gave Lin Xi the change while staring at her face. "I think it looks a bit like her. Can you take off your glasses so I can see?"
Lin Xi shook her head. "I'm sorry, I'm extremely nearsighted and I'm not used to taking off my glasses."
After saying that, he picked up the vegetables he had bought and left quickly.
After returning to the host's house, Lin Xi waited for the host to finish cooking before starting to use the kitchen. She quickly made a few dishes for herself: a braised fish, stir-fried meat with bell peppers, and stir-fried cabbage with vinegar.
By the time Lin Xi brought a few dishes to the table, the host family of three had already finished eating.
Everyone gathered around and looked at the food on the table curiously, "Is this Chinese food?"
Owen's camera was shooting several dishes, and he couldn't help sighing in his heart.
He contacted the program crew yesterday. Several fugitives have been caught, and the rest are living a life of escape like frightened birds. Only Lin Xi is staying comfortably and has time to cook these dishes that look delicious.
Lin Xi served herself a bowl of rice and came back, only to see the three people from the host family and Owen staring at the dishes on the table with great curiosity.
Twelve-year-old Lilith couldn't help herself, "Luna, can I try some of these dishes?"
Lin Xi smiled and said, "Okay, you all can try it."
Everyone cheered and brought over plates and forks. Owen set up the camera and also took a plate.
At first, everyone was a little embarrassed.
I just put a little bit of each dish on the plate and tried to taste it.
However, few people can resist the delicious food of the Flower Country. After finishing the dishes on their plates, they stare at the dishes on the table, wanting to eat but feeling embarrassed.
The man of the house exclaimed repeatedly, "This is the best Chinese food I've ever had, Luna, you really should open a restaurant."
Lin Xi thought to herself that this was just ordinary home cooking, but it was definitely much better than those non-authentic Chinese restaurants in the Bai Country.
She silently put some food into her bowl and said, "If you like it, please continue eating."
As soon as he finished speaking, four forks reached into the plate.
Lin Xi watched as the dishes on the table were swept away at lightning speed.
Obviously, these four people had already eaten lunch, but they felt even hungrier after eating.
Lilith was licking her plate. The hostess looked at Lin Xi with shining eyes, "Luna, I think we should eat together from now on. Let's have Chinese food."
"I'll provide the ingredients, you just need to cook. Of course, it would be even better if you could teach me how to do it."
Lin Xi raised her eyebrows slightly. This request was like timely help. She was worried that going to the supermarket every day would easily expose herself, but eating bread every day was really uncomfortable.
She smiled and nodded, "No problem, then start tomorrow?"
The hostess shook her head repeatedly, "Let's start tonight. I can go out and buy ingredients right away."
Lin Xi smiled, finished her meal, and wrote out a bill for her.
In the evening, Lin Xi made different dishes from the ones she made at noon.
Kung Pao Chicken, Vinegar-Stir-fried Potatoes, Beijing-Style Shredded Pork, Stir-fried Lamb with Scallions, Braised Prawns, and a Lamb Soup with Shredded Radish.
