Chapter 716: Chapter 47 Yu Xi (Triple Unity Conclusion Chapter)_4 Chapter 716: Chapter 47 Yu Xi (Triple Unity Conclusion Chapter)_4 Angelica scrutinized the Jask and the Fake Sike in front of her:
“At a glance, or to the unfamiliar, you could indeed be mistaken for each other, but a closer look reveals plenty of flaws…
Your stand-in here might pass for you in long shots or blurry photos, but up close and at rest, it’s quite easy to see through the disguise.”
Jask spread his hands:
“That’s why I need you, Hollywood’s Chameleon Witch~ Please make this stand-in’s makeup disguise look more like me…
You don’t need to be modest, I believe in your skills, especially since you genuinely fooled me when you were pretending to be my female secretary.”
“Your tools, those two huge suitcases, I had my secretary bring them over from your house, it’s getting late…
Let’s begin, Angelica.”
Angelica snorted softly.
She turned her head away.
She took a cigarette case out of her pocket, pulled out a cigarette, and dangled it from her lips, lighting it with a lighter from another pocket:
“So you’re still trying to fool me, Jask?”
“You promised to take me to see Lin Xian tonight to clear things up, even arranging to meet Lin Xian at 8 o’clock at the abandoned factory in the north.”
“Now you mean to send a stand-in?
Where’s your sincerity?
Aren’t you just playing Lin Xian?”
“No, no, no…” Jask waved his hands.
“No, no, no…” Fake Sike also mimicked the gesture.
“Tonight, I will definitely take you to see Lin Xian, but…
it has to wait until I verify [the last matter].”
Jask patted Fake Sike’s shoulder, signaling him not to overact and to just sit quietly on the bench.
Then he turned back to Angelica and continued:
“Don’t forget, in Copernicus’ eyes, we are in a state of being fooled, deceived, completely defeated.
So we need to counter trick with trick, Copernicus certainly hasn’t opened that empty mini-fridge yet…
Moreover, the contents here are extremely precious, he wouldn’t let that thief forcefully open it to check.”
“This is our only chance to use Copernicus, to deceive Copernicus.
Moreover, the misunderstanding between me and Lin Xian hasn’t been resolved at all…
I really want to explain things clearly to Lin Xian, but I need evidence, right?”
“Just as you said, that blue-eyed girl is after him, and you all know she left from my place.
How am I supposed to explain that?
Even if I tell Lin Xian the truth, that I was also deceived, that I had no knowledge, that I am innocent…
do you think Lin Xian would believe me?”
“So, if I want to convince Lin Xian, I need to have evidence.
Before that, Lin Xian will certainly treat me as an enemy…
Considering the worst possibility, I am going with sincerity alone to meet Lin Xian, but would Lin Xian believe in my sincerity?
What if he ambushed me, or attacked me?”
“This is where my good friend, my reliable stand-in, Mr.
Fake Sike, comes into play.
Lin Xian is a law-abiding citizen on China’s turf; he definitely wouldn’t fatally strike.
So even if my stand-in gets controlled by Lin Xian, I still have a fallback plan to negotiate with Lin Xian…
especially after I confirm [the last matter], I will have solid evidence to make Lin Xian believe me.”
Angelica exhaled a puff of smoke and gave Jask a sideways glance:
“Then if you want me to cooperate with this plan, first, before Lin Xian believes you, you must make me believe you.
Tell me, what is this cryptic [last matter] you’ve mentioned?
What do you really want to confirm?”
Jask spread his hands:
“Honestly, even if I told you, you wouldn’t understand, just listen and don’t pry too much.
This final thing I need to confirm…
is exactly what you and Lin Xian mentioned—”
“That blue-eyed girl can make a move on Lin Xian.”
“This is something I simply can’t believe, and it is likely the reason for the misunderstanding between me and Lin Xian.
Although it might sound bizarre to you, in fact…
truly, that blue-eyed girl shouldn’t be able to harm Lin Xian, or anyone for that matter.”
we spent several months together at the Scenic Iron Tower; I’ve checked on many things, how could she possibly harm anyone?
Unless you suggest she hid her intentions exceptionally well, fooling even me, but what would be the point of that?
If she really could kill, why wouldn’t she just kill me?”
He straightened up, looking at Angelica:
“Have you ever seen that blue-eyed girl?
The one Lin Xian refers to…
the one hunting him.”
Angelica shook her head amid the smoke:
“How could I have met her?
Lin Xian came to me to escape from her pursuit.
Now I understand, you are actually doubting Lin Xian’s words; you think Lin Xian deceived both you and me…
or rather, you suspect that blue-eyed assassin girl doesn’t even exist.”
“No matter what you think, I believe Lin Xian; he truly is being hunted by an assassin…
When we first met in Princeton, he was definitely fleeing, I could tell from his nervousness, and…
the relief he felt after getting his hands on firearms, those are emotions that can’t be faked, unless everyone’s an Oscar-winner, like you said.”
