Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ake turned and walked to the kitchen to get a glass of warm milk for Jin Xiangdong. After putting the glass on the desk, Ake stared innocently at Jin Xiangdong for a while. It had not been seeing him behave like this for a long time.
However, Jin Xiangdong did not seem to notice that Ake had entered the room and just focused on his notebook.
Ake could not help but leave the room silently.
"Ake, the food is yummy! I am feeling so revived after eating the food you prepared, " Jason said after drinking a bowl of soup.
"What's wrong with my master? What had happened?" Disregarded the compliments, Ake asked.
"Your master's notebook was hacked." Jason took a glimpse at Ake as he said in a low voice.
"No way! My master is such a genius. Who is capable of hacking his notebook?" Hearing Jason's response, Ake blinked its eyes in shock as it said.
"There is always someone better." Jason sighed helplessly as they were not capable of destroying the virus after spending the whole afternoon.
"Are you serious?" Ake stared Jason in his eyes.
"I need to eat more as I might need to stay up all night." Jason took another bowl of rice.
Ake merely blinked its eyes and did not talk further. At this time, Jin Xiangdong walked out of the study.
Standing up, startled, Jason's eyes fixed at Jin Xiangdong. Jin Xiangdong stretched his neck and sat down slowly.
"You did it?" Jason stared at Jin Xiangdong as he asked.
"Yup." Jin Xiangdong nodded.
"You killed it!" Jason was thrilled with joy and gave Jin Xiangdong a big thumb up.
"I've told you, my master is a genius!" Ake was excited with Jin Xiangdong's words.
Jin Xiangdong had always been delighted by Ake's flattering remarks. This time, he was cold and indifferent after hearing Ake's words.
"You did it in such a short period of time. That hacker's program is nothing!" Jason knew that Jin Xiangdong's pride had been broken. However, he was really something as he was capable of breaking down the virus injected by the hacker within a few hours.
"Ake, get me a bowl of rice." Jin Xiangdong did not respond to Jason and only called out to Ake.
"Alright. Master, don't forget to wash your hands before eating." Ake reminded Jin Xiangdong.
After Jin Xiangdong washed his hands and took a few spoonfuls of rice, something crossed his mind."Ake, get me my phone."
Ake stumbled into the study to take Jin Xiangdong's phone. Then he made a call to Lu Jia'er.
However, Lu Jia'er did not answer the phone after several attempts of calling. Jin Xiangdong's face darkened a few shades as he recalled that Lu Jia'er did not answer the phone since this afternoon. As he had been too focused on decoding the virus, he did not pay much attention to Lu Jia'er.
"Maybe she is busy. You can call again later. Let's talk about how you killed the virus." Jason took a glance at Jin Xiangdong.
Jin Xiangdong put down his phone and told Jason about the virus's decoding process while eating.
After listening to Jin Xiangdong, Jason merely frowned and breathed a sigh."That's so incredible! You are truly something!"
In fact, Jin Xiangdong was stunned with the system programming. However, he had regained his dignity by destroying the virus.
Jin Xiangdong called Lu Jia'er again after the dinner. Still, no one answered the phone.
"Let me check with Su Han about Professor Lu, " seeing this, Jason said.
To their surprise, Su Han did not answer the phone.
"I need to meet Jia'er." said Jin Xiangdong, a strange feeling seized his heart.
"Wait!" Jason stopped Jin Xiangdong.
Jin Xiangdong's eyes met his. Jason was about to speak, then faltered and changed his mind.
"Say it out, " said Jin Xiangdong.
"Since both of them did not answer the call, are they afraid of answering the phone as they knew that the virus was decoded?' Seeing this, Jason told him everything that was buried in his heart.
Hearing this Jin Xiangdong glared at Jason.
"I am just making a blind guess. However, this is possible." Jason's heart skipped a beat but still braced himself up and continued speaking.
Jin Xiangdong stared at Jason for a while as he said.
"I'm going out now. Please help yourself." Jin Xiangdong walked to the foyer as soon as he finished his words.
"I am going with you!" Jason rushed after Jin Xiangdong.
When both of them reached Lu Jia'er's apartment. There was no one who opened the door or answered the phone.
"No one at home? That's weird!" Jason was puzzled.
"Call the police!" Jin Xiangdong was growing increasingly worried.
"Wait. Should we wait until Professor Lu came to the office tomorrow?" Jason stopped him.
The next day, not only did Lu Jia'er not appear in the office, she did not answer the phone.
However, they got news in the evening—Lu Jia'er was involved in a car accident. Jin Xiangdong rushed to hospital once he got the news.
When Jin Xiangdong saw Lu Jia'er who was lying in the ward, his heart was finally relieved after worrying all night. However, a great pang had immediately gripped his heart as if a hand tugged forcefully at his heart. Jin Xiangdong had never cared for a woman so much that he had now known the feeling of having butterflies in his stomach.
Jin Xiangdong had pondered over Jason's words repeatedly—what would he do if Lu Jia'er were truly an industrial plant? After contemplating the whole night, he still could not get the answer. However, when he was waiting for Lu Jia'er at the company, he had concluded that even if Lu Jia'er were an industrial spy, he would give her a chance but that would be once in a lifetime!
At this moment, Lu Jia'er was sleeping with her eyes closed. Simply no one knew where she got hurt.
On the other side, Jin Xiangdong was feeling bad for neglecting Lu Jia'er while he devoted himself entirely to decoding the virus and had even suspected that she was an industrial spy.
As Jin Xiangdon did not know Lu Jia'er's situation, he quickly rushed to the doctor to check her health condition. Knowing that Lu Jia'er was not severely injured, Jin Xiangdong heaved a great sigh of relief and went back to the ward.
"Er Er!" when Lu Jia'er had finally woken up, Jin Xiangding quickly rushed over.
"You are... ?" Lu Jia'e looked at Jin Xiangdong blankly.
"I'm Ace." startled, Jin Xiangdong walked over and sat at the bedside. Perhaps Lu Jia'er had not regained consciousness after the car accident.
"Ace?" Lu Jia'er repeated his name with a strange look.
At this time, the door was pushed open. A good-looking man with black t-shirt and grey trousers stepped in. The man was tall and fair, with a pair of glasses on his face.
After sizing up Jin Xiangdong who was standing at the door, the man stepped into the ward and asked."Er Er, who is this?"
"I don't know." Lu Jia'er shook her head after taking a glance at Jin Xiangdong.
"Jia'er, I am Ace, " Jin Xiangdong repeated after hearing Lu Jia'er.
"I don't know you." Lu Jia'er took a glance at Jin Xiangdong who was sitting on the bedside once again as she said blandly.
Jin Xiangdong was lost in wonder as Lu Jia'er did not seem to be acting. She was staring at Jin Xiangdong as if he was a stranger.
'Would it be a side effect of the car accident?' Jin Xiangdong thought to himself.
At this time, Lu Jia'er called out to the man.
"Ian, can you please help escort him out?"
"Sure, honey. Mister, could you please get out?" Ian responded to Lu Jia'er and turned to Jin Xiangdong.
The whole situation was a mess. Especially the man before his eyes. This man had actually called Lu Jia'er "honey". What was the relationship between both of them?
Sitting at the bedside, Jin Xiangdong did not move and merely stared at Lu Jia'er who was lying on the bed. Her face was so familiar to him but her eyes was extremely cold and distant. Lu Jia'er's body could not help but curled up seeing his penetrating gaze.
"Mister, you are frightening my girlfriend. Please get out." seeing this, Ian held onto Jin Xiangdong's arms to get him out of the ward.
"Your girlfriend?" Jin Xiangdong was jolted with his words again.
"Yes, she is my girlfriend. Please get out." Ian pushed Jin Xiangdong out the ward.
When Jin Xiangdong regained consciousness, he was standing at the door. Seeing the door that was closed, when Jin Xiangdong recalled the whole incident, it was extremely incredible!
Jin Xiangdong went to the doctor again. The doctor was a thirty-year-old man. His response was the same. The car accident was not serious and only caused a mild concussion. Lu Jia'er would be fine after resting for a few days.
The car accident was not serious? It was a big deal for Jin Xiangdong as Lu Jia'er had forgotten about him in just a day.
Dissatisfied with the doctor's response, Jin Xiangdong had requested the doctor to go back to the ward again. The doctor was truly responsible and went to the ward together with him.
"Doctor, can you help to check my girlfriend again?" After entering the ward, without waiting for Lu Jia'er and Ian to respond, Jin Xiangdong said.
"Who is your girlfriend?" Lu Jia'er looked at Jin Xiangdong in bewilderment.
"You, Lu Jia'er, " Jin Xiangding said forthrightly.
"Pfft. Nonsense!" Lu Jia'er merely snorted.
