The next day, Lin Chen put on a suit and looked at himself in the mirror. Indeed, a man still relies on his attire to make an impression.
Dressed in the suit, Lin Chen's demeanor immediately levitated a notch.
When Xu Jiayi saw Lin Chen emerge in his suit and leather shoes, she was momentarily stunned.
Lin Chen usually dressed very casually, but today, the suit gave him a startlingly refreshing appearance.
Despite his youthful face, he exuded a composed charisma.
"Are you off to flirt with girls again? Lin Chen, remember your mission," Xu Jiayi huffed.
Lin Chen smiled, "I'm well aware of my mission, and this outing is to better execute it. Let me tell you a secret, I already have a clue about the Emon family massacre."
"Really? What clue?" Xu Jiayi's spirits lifted upon hearing Lin Chen's words.
"Want to know? Give me a kiss," Lin Chen said with a smile.
At Lin Chen's words, Xu Jiayi's expression changed abruptly, "Hmph, I happen to have a clue about the Stone of Life right here. Since you're not sharing, then I won't tell you either."
"The Stone of Life?" Lin Chen's eyes lit up.
"What is it, Jiayi? Tell me," Lin Chen pleaded, shaking Xu Jiayi's arm.
Xu Jiayi huffed coldly, her expression making it clear she had no intention of letting Lin Chen off easily.
Biting his lip, Lin Chen finally made up his mind, "How about I let you kiss me?"
"Get lost!" Xu Jiayi's face turned red as she snapped angrily.
"Then what will it take for you to talk?" Lin Chen asked.
After pondering for a moment, Xu Jiayi said, "You first tell me what clue you've got?"
Since obtaining the news about the Stone of Life was more urgent for him than it was for Xu Jiayi, Lin Chen had no choice but to tell her about his encounter with Ecas.
Upon hearing Lin Chen's account, Xu Jiayi's face also showed joy; "This really is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You must find a way to win over Sophina."
After hearing Xu Jiayi, Lin Chen wore a look of grievance, "Jiayi, isn't this a bit unfair, pushing your own man onto another girl?"
"Get lost, who's your woman? Are we that close?" Xu Jiayi barked.
"What about the clue to the Stone of Life?" Lin Chen asked with an ingratiating smile.
"Put that mission on hold for now. Your focus is to complete this current mission first. After that, I will naturally tell you about the Stone of Life," Xu Jiayi said coldly.
Lin Chen had tried to worm the information out for quite some time, but the girl stubbornly refused to reveal anything. If using Soul Capture wouldn't have had some effects on him, he would have been tempted to use it on Xu Jiayi long ago.
"Fine, but you must tell me after this mission is complete," Lin Chen said in frustration.
"No problem," Xu Jiayi nodded, taking delight in seeing Lin Chen at a disadvantage.
Just then, a red Porsche pulled up at the front, the horn sounded, and Xu Jiayi said with a smile, "Your beautiful aunt is here to pick you up. If you want to know about the Stone of Life, you'd better perform well for me!"
Seeing Xu Jiayi's charming expression, a sly smile suddenly spread across Lin Chen's face.
"Performing well is no problem, but you've got to give me some motivation, like a kiss," Lin Chen proposed as he approached Xu Jiayi with a smile.
"You jerk!" Xu Jiayi flew into a rage, drawing her handgun.
However, Lin Chen had already dashed out like a wisp of smoke.
"Jiayi, your encouragement is really helpful to me, I'll definitely complete the task well." A lewd voice came from outside the door.
Watching Lin Chen, who had hopped into a sports car and was blowing kisses at her from the window, Xu Jiayi stamped her foot in frustration, "This bastard, if I catch you, you'll pay for this."
Emon glanced at the beauty on the windowsill and teased, "It seems like you're having a pretty comfortable time now!"
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Of course, I only did it for my aunt's sake, otherwise I wouldn't want to wade into these muddy waters. By the way, don't you think you should compensate me a bit?"
"I'm your aunt, if you're not careful, be wary that I might disown you for justice," Emon said, her face turning slightly cold.
Soon, the Porsche sports car arrived at the port, and Lin Chen and Emon boarded the luxury cruise together.
As soon as he got out of the car, Lin Chen wrapped his arm around Emon's slender waist.
Oh man, the feel is soft and silky, definitely very nice.
"Kid, you dare to take liberties with your aunt?" Since there were people all around, Emon couldn't make a scene and said coldly.
"You're my aunt, what does it matter if I take a little advantage? Besides, look at all the couples around us, it's the same with them. If we act differently, it's easy to arouse suspicion," Lin Chen said with a smile.
Entering the interior of the cruise ship, Lin Chen couldn't help but be amazed; the decoration of the ship was incredibly luxurious. As soon as he entered, he encountered two acquaintances – the Xia sisters.
Since that farewell at the train station last time, Lin Chen hadn't seen the sisters for a long time.
"Mr. Lin!" Seeing Lin Chen, Xia Qingqing excitedly ran over.
"What are you guys doing here?" Lin Chen asked in confusion.
Xia Qingqing smiled and said, "Of course, this banquet is hosted by my father, and as the host, I naturally have to be here!"
As she spoke, Xia Qingqing's gaze fell on Emon, "Is this your girlfriend?"
During the conversation, Xia Qingqing's face even showed a hint of jealousy.
"Oh, she's my aunt, Emon," Lin Chen said, introducing her with a smile.
When Xia Qingqing heard that Emon was Lin Chen's aunt, the smile on her face obviously became more pronounced, and she took the aunt's hand with a smile, "Auntie, you're so beautiful!"
Emon's face blushed as she smiled and said, "Miss Xia Qingqing, hello!"
At this moment, Xia Ruoyu also walked over, dressed today in a red cheongsam, looking every bit the noble lady.
"Mr. Lin, to think I'd run into you here! Thank goodness for the Spiritual Medicine you gave me, but it's almost used up, and I was just about to contact you!" Xia Ruoyu said with a smile.
Lin Chen smiled lightly, "Can't help it, we must be fated! If there's a chance this time, I'll help you get completely cured!"
"Really!" Xia Ruoyu's face showed a look of surprise.
Then Xia Ruoyu said, "The banquet is about to start, you and your aunt go ahead, I'll come to find you guys later."
"Ok!" Lin Chen nodded and headed with his aunt toward the hall.
As soon as they left, the aunt looked at Lin Chen with a face full of astonishment, "How do you know the Xia sisters?"
Lin Chen laughed and said, "Can't help it, I'm just that handsome, I've got female admirers everywhere!"
