...
Listening to Lin Xian’s words.
Angelica closed her eyes, thought quietly for a while,
"Jask seems to be a very discreet and intelligent person; approaching him with my identity, it would be difficult to straightforwardly extract information about the Genius Club."
"He will definitely be on guard... If he could just blurt out such details to a woman, what qualifies him to enter the Genius Club? Ji Xinshui is not much different from Jask, not to mention with Ji Lin’s brains supporting him... So, Jask is definitely not a man to be taken lightly."
"Then it’s up to you now, Angelica."
Lin Xian spread his hands:
"Right now, someone is trying to kill me; I am not sure if it’s Jask’s doing. Thus, the task of approaching Jask must be carried out by you since I cannot help you in any way."
"Among the members of the Genius Club that I know of, who are out in the open and whose specific names and locations are available, Jask is the only one. If you really want to take revenge for Ji Lin and Ji Xinshui, then you must start with Jask; there are no other channels available."
"You should understand that Jask is our only chance, and he is an intersection of both our goals. I certainly can’t go directly to Jask and bluntly ask if he is trying to kill me, right?"
"If it is really him trying to kill me, then I would be walking right into a trap; if not, then my question would be pointless, not to mention the possibility of Jask lying."
Angelica opened her eyes.
Gave a laugh.
With her right hand, she held her beautiful face and looked at Lin Xian:
"If this plan purely relies on me to extract information... Then it seems like you are of no use at all? We certainly do not need members who reap the benefits without any contribution."
"So... as our deal is now concluded, what can you do? What value can you provide?"
Lin Xian gave a slight smile:
"[I have already received an invitation from the Genius Club.]"
Angelica’s smile disappeared.
With widened eyes:
"You received an invitation?"
She couldn’t believe it. Ji Xinshui, wealthy enough to rival nations, had tried for so long, even risking his life, yet had never received an invitation to the Genius Club...
Similarly for Ji Lin.
The exceedingly intelligent Ji Lin, whom she cherished like a dear younger brother and had nurtured... also had never succeeded in receiving an invitation to the Genius Club.
Yet, this utterly ordinary man before her had received one?
However...
Thinking about it, it seemed not impossible.
After all, he indeed knew too much about the Genius Club, and now that he was also in trouble, being hunted by assassins, there was really no need for him to lie to her.
"But I haven’t completely passed their test," Lin Xian spoke candidly.
Now he was planning to collaborate with Angelica, wanting her to use her advantage to approach Jask and extract information, at least to determine whether the Time-Space Assassin was connected to Jask.
Under such circumstances, sincerity was the ultimate weapon.
He continued,
"Next, is our new deal—" Explore more stories at freewebnovel
"[You will go to Jask and gather as much information as possible, confirm whether he sent the assassin to kill me, and gather details about the Genius Club, who Copernicus is, and more.]"
"[I will be responsible for joining the Genius Club eventually and helping you identify the real identity of Copernicus, aiding you in achieving your revenge.]"
Angelica chuckled softly, remarking,
"You really do seem a bit like you’re from the Genius Club already."
"Why do you say that?" Lin Xian asked.
Angelica spread her hands:
"Copernicus made empty promises to Ji Xinshui, and aren’t you doing the same to me? Could the Genius Club just be a club of making empty promises? But..."
As she spoke, she turned her body and leaned back in the spacecraft seat, extending her right hand to Lin Xian:
"We both have no other choice, do we?"
Lin Xian also gave a slight smile, extending his right hand and shaking hands with Angelica:
"Pleasure doing business."
Squeak——
The nanny van stopped in front of a villa in the suburbs with a large yard that looked quite valuable.
"Get out, this is my home... one of my homes. You can stay here during your time in Mi Country."
...
Thus.
The collaboration, or rather the deal, between Lin Xian and Angelica was concluded.
This was also a matter of each getting what they needed.
Angelica needed to know who Copernicus was, and who had killed Ji Lin’s parents;
The only person who might have the answers, a fellow member of the Genius Club named Jask, could at least provide some clues;
But being potentially hunted by a Time-Space Assassin sent by Jask, she had to operate from the shadows, relying solely on Angelica to gather intelligence and determine who the enemy was;
Once she resolved the current crises and completed this breakthrough, she could continue her research on space-time coordinates, answer the three questions posed by the Genius Club, and attend the club’s gathering;
By then, she could fulfill her promise to Angelica, sharing the intel on Copernicus and the murderer of Ji Lin’s parents, aiding her in her quest for revenge.
The promise she’d painted for Angelica was admittedly quite large, somewhat distant.
But for Angelica, there was no other choice.
Unless Jask really couldn’t resist a beauty’s trick, blabbing everything away... But that clearly wasn’t possible, for if Jask had such a small scope, he wouldn’t be the richest man in the world.
So.
What they could extract from Jask depended entirely on Angelica’s abilities.
Thud.
Lin Xian placed the hefty black briefcase on the living room table and scanned the interior of the villa, illuminated by the light shining from the giant crystal chandelier above.
It was huge, luxurious; it seemed Angelica had indeed made quite a fortune over the years.
"Tomorrow night, we are going to a dinner."
Angelica sat on the sofa, leaning against the back cushion:
"You will be my driver."
"To meet Jask?"
Lin Xian turned his body from the table:
"You got an appointment with him that quickly?"
Angelica shook her head:
"Although Jask isn’t technically the richest man in the world anymore, his status in Mi Country is still very high, and we aren’t that familiar with each other, so I couldn’t get an appointment with him."
"You should know, there are many Hollywood actresses. But there is only one richest man in the world... and one as multi-talented and charismatic as he is much more in demand than you think."
Lin Xian pulled up a chair and sat down:
"So you mean, you couldn’t get Jask? I thought you were confident and pleased with our cooperation just now."
Angelica looked at Lin Xian:
"I can’t handle Jask, but I can handle his secretary. Jask has a very trusted female secretary, nothing is hidden from her, nothing is withheld. So... I believe, through this female secretary, we can learn more secrets about Jask."
"His female secretary, huh..."
Lin Xian chuckled lightly:
"How are you going to handle her?"
Angelica licked her lips, pulling out a small tube of lipstick from her LV handbag.
She applied the lipstick, making her lips vividly red, tightening them to even out the color after applying, then with flamboyant red lips, she glanced meaningfully at Lin Xian and smiled:
"Sometimes... women, are easier to handle than men."
"You can elaborate." Lin Xian spread his hands:
"After all, everyone loves to listen."
Angelica did not answer but laughed.
She put the lipstick back into her handbag.
Getting up from the sofa, she walked towards Lin Xian with clicking steps:

"Tomorrow night, you will naturally find out."
"Fine then."
Lin Xian waved his hand:
"But... I better not go. I’ve told you about the assassin who’s possibly sent by Jask to chase me. If Jask shares everything with that secretary, then she definitely knows about my situation, and if I go there with you, won’t everything be exposed?"
"Hehe."
Angelica walked up to Lin Xian, who was sitting, her long legs poised elegantly in front of him:
"Have you forgotten how Hollywood calls me?"
"Isn’t it the Chameleon Witch?" Lin Xian raised his head.
It wasn’t intentional...
But Angelica’s slender index finger reached out and, as if scooping up cream, lifted his chin:
"It’s not just me who can change."
She smiled, her eyes scanning Lin Xian’s features:
"Tomorrow night, on this earth... there will be no one who recognizes you."
