Chapter 151 Chapter 151 [Do you want to confess? 】
As soon as Lin Yi Mu called, the person on the other end answered the call immediately, as if they had been waiting for Lin Yi Mu's call.
"Xiao Mu, you finally answered the phone. I called you so many times but no one answered. I thought something happened to you and was just about to ask Mingxu to look for you." As soon as the call was connected, He Xiuji's worried voice came out of the receiver.
Listening to the series of voices coming from the phone, Lin Yimu's mood, which had been a little depressed due to facing the messages from school, improved a lot. Even the fatigue from the experiment for an afternoon seemed to disappear.
Lin Yimu couldn't help but smile and said, "I've been in school the whole time, what could possibly happen? I didn't answer the call because I was busy with experiments and my phone was on silent mode." After explaining the reason, Lin Yimu asked, "By the way, you called me so many times today, is there something important you want to say?"
When He Xiuji heard Lin Yimu's question, he said in a serious voice: "I heard that you are in trouble again? Do you need my help?" This was the first time that He Xiuji wanted to help someone.
Lin Yimu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he quickly reacted and felt a little tempted. However, he thought that even if He Xiuji's He Group was very large, it should not be involved in these things. Moreover, judging from Zhang Hechang's words, the trouble on his side was probably not simple.
After a thousand twists and turns in his mind, Lin Yimu finally rejected He Xiuji's offer to help, "No need, you should know who is behind me. If they can't solve it, I guess no one can solve it. In that case, I will never drag you down with me."
He Xiuji felt a little disappointed when listening to Lin Yimu's words, but he also understood that what he said was the truth. If the state machinery could not solve the problem, it would be even more troublesome for him as a businessman. However, he felt a little uncomfortable.
So He Xiuji came up with a plan, and deliberately showed his disappointment very obviously, so that Lin Yimu could hear his sigh clearly through the microphone, "Okay, I get it, you haven't told me, your friend, about your problems, it seems that I am not really your friend yet."
Lin Yimu listened to He Xiuji's depressed voice and words on the phone, and opened his mouth reluctantly. After hesitating for a while, he explained: "I don't mean to stop treating you as a friend. I just think that someone can solve this problem, so I don't want to say it out loud and let you worry about it. After all, you have a big company like the He Group to manage behind you. You should rest more when you have free time."
He Xiuji listened to Lin Yimu's explanation, and the stern and serious expression on his face slowly melted away, revealing a triumphant smile. It was not until Lin Yimu's voice fell that He Xiuji pretended to be unbelieving and asked, "Are you telling the truth? You are not just trying to comfort me, right?"
"Of course not, I'm telling the truth." Lin Yimu heard He Xiuji's disbelief and hurriedly explained, not caring about the strange feeling that surged in his heart.
Hearing Lin Yimu's anxious explanation, He Xiuji on the other end of the phone smiled a lot, and then he continued as if he believed it: "If that's the case, shouldn't you treat me to a meal to show your appreciation? After all, I've been worried about you as a friend for the whole afternoon. You can't just send me away with a few words, right?"
Lin Yimu listened to what He Xiuji said and rubbed his forehead helplessly. He really didn't understand why He Xiuji was so persistent about treating him to a meal. Either He Xiuji would treat him or he would treat He Xiuji. It really never ended.
Although he complained in his heart, Lin Yimu still nodded and agreed, "Okay, since you've asked, I'll treat you to a meal no matter how busy I am." After agreeing, Lin Yimu looked at the time and said, "Why don't we make an appointment for tomorrow at noon or in the afternoon, depending on your time. We can make an appointment whenever you are free."
Upon hearing this, He Xiuji readily agreed. The two of them scheduled their dinner date for tomorrow afternoon. For convenience, He Xiuji, who had a car, came to pick up Lin Yimu.
After Lin Yimu hung up the call with He Xiuji, he started searching for good restaurants nearby on his phone.
Just as Lin Yi Mu was searching with his head down, the door of the laboratory was opened from the outside. A man in casual clothes who looked like a college student came to Lin Yi Mu and told him about how they had caught a few sneaky boys at the door before.
Lin Yimu was silent after listening to this. It seemed that he had not offended anyone, so why did these people want to lock him up in the laboratory?
Lin Yimu asked the question directly, but the answer he got made him feel very bad. He even felt depressed all the way back to the dormitory.
"According to our interrogation, they all said that they saw the post on the campus forum and couldn't stand the fact that you stole other people's research results and claimed them as your own, yet you still looked down on others. They thought you were a thief, so they wanted to teach you a lesson." The plainclothes man told Lin Yimu the results of their interrogation with a serious expression.
Lin Yimu thought of this reason and the ending was incredible. Although he had been comforting Yuan Mingxu and the others not to care about what these people said, the words and actions of people who could not think independently still made people feel uncomfortable and incomprehensible when they really faced them.
After returning to the dormitory, Lin Yimu sat at the desk for a while. After suppressing the discomfort in his heart, he began to organize and summarize today's gains.
As for the boys who locked Lin Yimu in the laboratory, although Lin Yimu felt uncomfortable, he did not target them. After the men were sure that they were not spies and were just playing an ordinary prank, he released them all.
Although the matter of Lin Yi Mu stealing someone else's thesis had been a hot topic in the school for several days, except for some extreme people or those who disliked Lin Yi Mu who talked about it, most people were just watching the fun. When a new hot topic came out, their attention shifted away from this matter. So after adjusting his mentality, Lin Yi Mu didn't care about people's attitude towards him at all.
The next day was the day that Lin Yimu and He Xiuji had agreed to treat each other to dinner. Lin Yimu's schedule for the day was the same as usual, but in the afternoon, he packed his things in advance and went to wait at the school gate.
So when He Xiuji came over by car, he saw Lin Yimu standing at the school gate wearing a clean plaid shirt and jeans. He became a sight at the school gate, and everyone coming in and out couldn't help but look at him.
Lin Yi Mu had already seen He Xiu Ji's car when it came over, so when He Xiu Ji rolled down the window and looked at him, Lin Yi Mu also walked quickly in his direction, came to the car, opened the door and sat in.
After Lin Yimu got in the car, He Xiuji stretched out his hand to help open the door and slowly put it down. He looked at him and said, "You agreed to treat me to a meal, so have you chosen the address?"
Lin Yi Mu sat up straight, secretly glanced at He Xiu Ji's right hand which had just been put down, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Now that we have chosen, let's go directly." As he said that, Lin Yi Mu reported the address of the restaurant he had chosen to the driver driving in the front seat.
The car was driving slowly on the road. Because it was the rush hour after get off work, the car stopped and started all the way and was not driving fast. He Xiuji did not ask for the specific address, but just sat in the back seat and typed on his notebook.
Lin Yimu would occasionally glance at He Xiuji who was working seriously, and looked him over from head to toe, but other than that he did not make any sound to disturb him.
However, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart that a man like He Xiuji, once he got serious, his aura and temperament were very attractive, like a luminous body that made people's eyes involuntarily run towards him.
It was just that even if He Xiuji was busy, he could feel Lin Yimu's blatant gaze, so he sat even straighter, and the already solemn expression on his face became even more serious, and even his facial lines became a little cold and hard.
Only when Lin Yi Mu disappeared from his sight did He Xiu Ji quietly breathe a sigh of relief and relax. However, his mind was no longer on the laptop in front of him. Instead, he paid more attention to Lin Yi Mu's movements, and even stole a glance at him from time to time.
In fact, He Xiuji wanted to ask directly what Lin Yimu meant by the look he just gave him, and whether it was what he thought. However, he was afraid that if he scared the person too suddenly, it would be counterproductive, so he hesitated for a long time and still did not speak.
The two of them arrived at the restaurant that Lin Yimu had inquired about and booked in advance in a strange atmosphere. It was a small but very clean and tidy Sichuan restaurant.
Because he didn't know what He Xiuji liked to eat, Lin Yimu only booked a seat but didn't order any food. After he sat down, he asked the waiter to bring the menu.
"Although I'm treating, I'm not sure about your preferences, so I chose the restaurant with the best reputation nearby. Take a look and see if there are any dishes you like." Lin Yimu said as he handed the menu to He Xiuji.
He Xiuji looked at the menu handed to him and found it a little novel for a moment. This was his first time to eat in such a small restaurant, and he had to order the food himself, so He Xiuji did not refuse, but instead looked at the menu carefully.
After He Xiuji finished ordering, Lin Yimu also politely ordered a dish and handed the menu to the waiter. After that, the two chatted casually while waiting for the food to be served, and unknowingly talked about what happened at the campus forum yesterday.
"Regarding what happened on your school forum yesterday, do you really not need my help to check it out? You know, I have computer talents under me. Even if I can't help with the issue regarding the thesis, it's still very easy to check things like hackers." He Xiu Ji looked at Lin Yi Mu seriously and asked about what happened yesterday again.
When Lin Yimu heard He Xiuji bring up the matter again, looking at his serious expression and hopeful eyes, he couldn't say the rejection that was on the tip of his tongue. He hesitated for a long time but didn't give an answer.
He Xiuji saw Lin Yimu's hesitation, frowned and thought for a while before speaking, "I know what you are worried about, but don't worry, I will only help you investigate the hacker issue and will not get involved in anything else. What do you think?" After saying that, he looked at Lin Yimu, asking for his answer, but was afraid that Lin Yimu would not want his help, so he added, "I want to help you solve the problem, even if I am just a friend, I hope you won't refuse, okay?"
The hidden meaning in He Xiuji's last addition was so obvious that it was hard for Lin Yimu not to understand. But it was precisely because he understood it that he became even more hesitant at this moment. For a moment, he didn't know how to face the man sitting opposite him. In the end, he could only lower his eyes and stare at the table.
