[Tsk! No wonder she's Shen Sihan. She even criticizes her own daughter.]
[Hmm.] Lian Han kept glancing at the coffee shop entrance, looking distracted.
[Since you've already contacted Zong Jingyuan to check, everything should be fine. Besides, even if something did happen, you're too far away to help.]
Lian Han pursed her lips. Even though she knew, she still couldn't help but worry.
Aside from Xiao Mei, An He was probably her best friend. But from now on, they'll likely drift apart.
However, thinking of Xiao Mei, Lian Han's mood improved slightly. Although that girl was bound to some kind of system, she had at least passed the entrance exam for the Diluo Mecha Department and had already participated in military training on time. He had even asked her why she had taken leave, and she had finally put him at ease for once—although Lian Han would find out after returning to the capital that Pei Su Mei was anything but easy to deal with.
"Xiaohan, Anhe said she went home, you don't need to wait anymore. I'll let you know if there's any news." Zong Jingyuan sent a message at this time.
"Okay. If anything seems wrong with her, tell me immediately."
After clicking send, Lian Han hesitated for a moment, then sent another message: "Don't tell her, I asked her."
Although Zong Jingyuan was puzzled, she still agreed. The goddess wouldn't harm Anhe, so she would just keep quiet.
After confirming that Anhe was alright, Lian Han was about to log off when she suddenly remembered Han Jin's account—the quests there were probably piling up like a mountain by now? What should she do if she suddenly wanted to abandon the account?
[Are you sure? I remember you just consigned a few hundred cards to the Card Making Guild before you left the Imperial Capital, and the Federal Currency transfer hasn't been completed yet.]
Lian Han's lips twitched. [Ahem, I was just thinking about it. Without a second account, how am I supposed to go to the card-making guild?]
[It's good that you know.]
Lian Han did not answer, but recalled the confrontation between Yuan Yuan and Jing Li on Tri Star, and the latter's ruthlessness made her heart tremble.
Old Xing did suggest, "It's only nine o'clock at night, go check out the union. You can't just disappear for two months straight; people might think you're dead."
[You're overthinking it.] Lian Han's lips twitched, but she still switched accounts. She would listen to the old man's suggestions in most cases.
"Oh! Junior sister finally decided to come online?" Jing Li happened to be online.
Lian Han raised an eyebrow and looked over, only to realize that the person was making cards. "Don't get distracted when you're drawing cards."
"Junior sister is concerned about me?" Jing Li held a magic pen and drew cards, yet she was able to talk to Lian Han while doing two things at once.
"Say what you will. Since you're drawing cards, I'm leaving..."
Jing Li spoke gently, but her words made Lian Han grit his teeth in anger: "Don't think too much, it'll be done soon. Let's finish the tasks you've been saving up for two months first, then we'll talk about other things."
"I've been really busy these past two months! I haven't even logged into my main account." She'd rather make virtual cards in real life than put in so much effort and get nothing out of it online; at least she could sell them for money.
"Oh," Jingli replied casually, then ignored her.
Undeterred, Lian Han tried clicking the teleport button, but as expected, he couldn't teleport, and the door definitely wouldn't open either.
Jingli remained silent, and the room fell quiet for a moment. After half a year, Lian Han was very familiar with the objects and furnishings here, and unconsciously shifted his gaze to Jingli, who was making cards.
Handsome men can indeed be even more handsome when they're serious. But she quickly thought of how awful this man was—and instantly all her thoughts vanished. No matter how handsome he was, he wasn't as good-looking as her, and besides, his voice was just average.
This shows that Miss Lian is still the same vengeful Miss Lian.
Speaking of voices, Lian Han felt a pang of nostalgia for Bei Ting. So far, it was the most beautiful voice she had ever heard. However, she hadn't heard that voice in a long time, and she wondered what Bei Ting was up to.
"What are you thinking about? You're lost in thought." Jingli suddenly spoke up.
Lian Han said, "You'd be less annoying if you just quietly made cards."
Jing Li shook his head. If someone else had said that to him, he would be crippled even if he wasn't dead yet.
But this is Han Jin—his plans, which he has been scheming for years, might still depend on her. Before that, he won't harm her; he'll even protect her.
After finishing the card, Jingli walked towards Lianhan, "Consider this a back-to-school gift for the new semester."
Lian Han looked at the card he handed her, speechless. What kind of back-to-school gift was this? Did she even need this? Besides, couldn't he at least give a gift with some sincerity? What was a virtual card anyway?
She didn't take it, and Jing Li didn't mind. She pulled Lian Han's hand and stuffed the card into her hand. "I suddenly remembered that eight months have passed since we agreed on the time. Your time is running out."
When? Lian Han was stunned for a moment, then remembered that when they first met, she was kidnapped here by Jing Li, who threatened and warned her, and finally told her to solve a disease.
It appears to be a case where vital signs are normal, but the person cannot regain consciousness.
Don't blame Lian Han for using the word "seems"—when Jing Li threatened her like that, she didn't even look at the information he sent her. She had no intention of helping him treat his illness.
The young man raised an eyebrow at Jing Li and said, "It's already September. Did I say anything back then? It's been too long, I can't remember."
Jingli wasn't surprised by her denial, and chuckled, "Oh? Miss Lian really doesn't remember? Do you not want your teacher's fate card anymore, or do you want to spend half your life in prison?"
"What Miss Lian?" Lian Han looked at Jing Li with a puzzled expression.
Although she didn't know how Jingli had guessed her, she would never fall into the same trap twice. Trying to trick her was no longer an option.
"Do you really think I was just joking when I threatened you? Who can hide things from the hackers of the Divine Alliance on the SkyNet?" Jing Li looked at Lian Han with a smile. "It's fine if you're not happy. I heard that Miss Lian took leave and is probably not in the capital star now. Then your sister will have to be left to me."
Lian Han's expression changed, his killing intent turning sinister. "Jing Li, you dare to touch her!"
"Actually, I'm more curious about how you received your teacher's inheritance if everyone knows you are Lian Han. Thirteen years ago, you were only three years old. Such an incredible thing, I think both General Ning and the Prime Minister would agree to send you to the research institute, after all, Miss Lian broke with the Ling family, didn't she?"
Seeing the man's nonchalant demeanor, Lian Han once again experienced the disadvantage of being weak, and coldly said, "I'll see now! But if you're not even sure, I don't think I have a way to do it."
"I don't need to hear a negative answer. If you can't do it, then don't blame me for not showing any brotherly or sisterly affection."
Lian Han stared at him for a moment, then said coldly, "You—very good! You'd better never fall into my hands!"
"That's all for the future. We'll talk about it when you can figure out a solution."
Lian Han gritted her teeth, not wanting to see his calm demeanor, and opened the AI 003 to check the file he had sent.
Jingli still had a sliver of conscience; she had marked the normal range for all of the man's vital signs, and almost every one of them was normal, except that his brain activity was far below normal. But as long as there was still some activity, even just a little, then the man wasn't truly dead.
