Ling Shen sat in the milk tea shop, watching Qian Sui and Luo Xinyue disappear into the crowd before he turned his gaze away.
Ling Shen looked away, and the next moment, his phone rang.
Ling Shen looked down and saw that it was a call from Lu Jiayan.
Ling Shen pressed the answer button.
"Hello."
Lu Jiayan said, "I went to the top floor of the main building to look for you, but you weren't there?"
Ling Shen had just told Lu Jiayan that he would be working at the secret base, so Lu Jiayan went to the secret base to deliver some documents to him. However, when he arrived, he couldn't find Ling Shen, so he made this phone call.
Ling Shen hummed in agreement and said, "I'm out."
Lu Jiayan: "Where did you go?"
"Basketball court".
Upon hearing this, Lu Jiayan paused for a moment, then asked, "You can play basketball?"
Ling Shen stated frankly, "I can't."
Lu Jiayan: "......"
Ling Shen really can't play basketball. Not to mention playing basketball, he doesn't even understand the rules of basketball.
Because Ling Shen didn't go through puberty.
Basketball, a sport very suitable for boys, is something that boys start accumulating skills from puberty onwards.
From the age of ten to eighteen, Ling Shen was basically in a closed-off learning environment, and no one played ball with him.
Although he returned to school after turning eighteen, Ling Shen had become gloomy and eccentric, and he would never touch basketball again.
That's why Lu Jiayan found it strange when he heard that Ling Shen went to the basketball court.
He can play ball? You must be kidding!
There must be something else going on.
Lu Jiayan pondered for a moment and then understood.
It's possible that Chitose is in the basketball court.
Ling Shen and Lu Jiayan have been partners for so long that not only does Lu Jiayan understand Ling Shen, but Ling Shen also understands Lu Jiayan.
So when Lu Jiayan was deep in thought, Ling Shen guessed what he was thinking.
Ling Shen cleared his throat, taking the initiative to break the silence.
Ling Shen asked, "Is there something you need?"
Ling Shen didn't remember assigning him any tasks today.
Recently, Ling Shen has been studying at the school, and he has left all the company matters to Lu Jiayan. Unless there is a problem, he will not be contacted.
Upon hearing Ling Shen's question, Lu Jiayan replied, "I've found some clues about the totem you asked me to investigate."
Ling Shen was casually leaning back in his chair, holding his phone in one hand and fiddling with the water bottle Qian Sui had given him in the other.
Hearing Lu Jiayan say this, he paused.
Ling Shen abandoned his previous casual demeanor and his expression became serious.
Ling Shen only said one sentence: "Drive over to find me."
Logically, Lu Jiayan, as Ling Shen's assistant, should have come to see him, but since Ling Shen was currently at an open milk tea shop, it would be better to find a more secluded place to discuss such matters.
Ling Shen got up and walked out. As he walked from the milk tea shop to the secret base, Lu Jiayan drove up.
Lu Jiayan parked the car next to Ling Shen, who silently got into the car.
Ling Shen sat down in the back seat before asking, "What did you find out?"
Lu Jiayan parked the car on the side of the road. Few people passed by on this road, and the car had been modified by Ling Shen. Not only was the sound insulation improved, but the bulletproof system was also upgraded.
Therefore, discussing things in the car is much safer than in a secret base.
Lu Jiayan knew that Ling Shen cared about this matter, so he didn't beat around the bush and handed over the iPad directly, saying, "This is what I took on the top floor of the teaching building."
Ling Shen took the iPad and looked at the photos on it. There were several photos taken on the rooftop, and someone had drawn the totem on the rooftop wall with chalk.
There were some broken chalk stubs on the ground.
In that place, many art students would draw graffiti. Everyone else used spray paint, but this totem was drawn with chalk. If you weren't paying attention, no one would notice it at all.
If it rains these next two days, the totem might not be visible anymore.
Ling Shen looked at the totem, his handsome brows furrowing.
Lu Jiayan noticed the change in Ling Shen's expression and began to explain, "This is what I sent someone to investigate. He saw this totem on the rooftop and took a picture of it. We have already had people search the area, but we haven't found anything."
Ling Shen had guessed it too.
After all, he had been searching for this totem for so long. Even if he suddenly discovered its existence at the school now, it was unlikely that there would be any substantial progress so quickly.
Ling Shen put the iPad aside, tilted his head back, rubbed his temples, and said, "I guess the totems on this were deliberately left for us to see."
"Did you leave it behind on purpose?" Lu Jiayan asked rhetorically.
Ling Shen: "Yes, otherwise no one would leave such an obvious totem. We searched for so long before and didn't find it, but now it keeps popping up one after another. I'm afraid all of this is something those people deliberately showed us."
In other words, while they were investigating the organization that possessed that totem, those people were also secretly observing them.
If that's the case, things get a bit tricky.
......
Qian Sui followed Luo Xinyue to class. As a student who often slacked off in class, Qian Sui really couldn't stand listening to this kind of boring theoretical class.
Halfway through class, Chitose slipped out, saying she needed to go to the restroom.
Then Chitose stayed in the toilet for about ten minutes.
Even after she came out of the restroom, she still didn't want to go back to the classroom.
Because the boy in the front row was secretly eating stinky tofu, and the smell was absolutely divine.
