Chapter 462: After modification: Chapter 472 I kept her because I found her somewhat interesting
Lin Yixun watched Chu Yan’s expressive face, and couldn’t help but let out a chuckle. This was Chu Yan, carefree and without worries, even after experiencing life and death, still living so unburdened.
This, truly is a good thing.
From Chu Yan’s mouth, Lin Yixun learned that the man was called Feng Chengyu. As for what he does, Chu Yan was very secretive about it, and Lin Yixun did not press further, but she could guess a little. Anyway, he wasn’t a normal kind-hearted person.
Lin Yixun also learned that there was an unwritten rule here: other than the owner of this villa estate, no one else was allowed to take outsiders in and out freely. This was the biggest taboo here, and if anyone violated it, the consequences... Lin Yixun had already experienced it, and there was no need for Chu Yan to elaborate further.
"Why would there be such a requirement? Is there some unknown secret here?"
"It’s not really about a secret, but...the boss’s identity is special, and also the old lady was once injured by an outsider entering, almost losing her life, so this rule was established."
"Is that so?" Lin Yixun became even more curious about Feng Chengyu’s identity.
Curious as she was, Lin Yixun did not ask detailed questions. Curiosity kills the cat, and she didn’t want to stir up unnecessary trouble. Moreover, even if she asked Chu Yan, Chu Yan might not explain clearly.
"Oh right, there’s something I almost forgot to tell you." Saying that, Chu Yan took a package from her bag and handed it to Lin Yixun.
"What’s inside here?"
"Passport and your new identity, plus a flight ticket and a letter of introduction."
Lin Yixun looked at her suspiciously, not understanding something.
"The boss said you owe him three lives, and there are already enough people working for him, he doesn’t need one more, he just wants you to complete three tasks for him."
She owed him three lives?
Lin Yixun thought it was extremely ridiculous, this man was indeed overbearing, but she didn’t refute, and asked with a faint smile, "What tasks?"
"The boss said he’ll tell you when the time is ripe."
Lin Yixun was speechless, it was like having three swords hanging over her neck and not knowing when they would fall, the feeling was truly uncomfortable.
However, under the eaves, she had no choice but to lower her head. She couldn’t fight this man and could only submit to his tyranny.
Lin Yixun’s gaze fell on the package in front of her, and she asked, "Even if I owe him three tasks, what does that have to do with these things inside?"
Chu Yan gave Lin Yixun a deep look, hesitated, but finally spoke with difficulty, "The boss said your computer skills are just child’s play, not good enough to work for him, so..."
"So he’s sending me abroad?" Lin Yixun looked at the destination on the ticket and spoke softly.
"Not sending, it’s learning. Carnegie Mellon, as Song Yi said, their computer science school is incredibly strong."
"Carnegie Mellon?" Lin Yixun frowned, she seemed to have some impression of this place, but couldn’t quite remember where she’d heard of it.
"Can I not go?" Lin Yixun didn’t like adapting to a new environment again.
"Well... the boss said you can choose not to go, but our little lives..." Chu Yan made a throat-slitting gesture as she spoke.
What else could Lin Yixun say, she could only agree. Borrowing Chu Yan’s phone, she looked up some information about Carnegie Mellon online. It was indeed as Song Yi said, their computer science program was renowned worldwide.
Lin Yixun put down the mouse, resting her chin on her hand, wondering what the identity of the villa’s owner was, to get her, an unknown person, there in just one day? And what was his purpose, wanting to train her as a professional hacker?
Though there were swirling doubts in her mind, Lin Yixun still had to accept the man’s demand. With her wounds barely scabbed over, she embarked on the journey abroad.
Dragging her suitcase, Lin Yixun couldn’t help but look back at the small villa. She had spent a confusing eight months here, and had narrowly escaped death. Now, as she was about to leave, she felt a mix of emotions that she couldn’t quite describe.
"Let’s go, I’ll take you to the airport." Song Yi took her luggage gentlemanly from her hands and loaded it into the trunk.
Lin Yixun gave him a heartfelt smile, "Thanks!"
"No, no, please don’t smile at me like that!" Song Yi couldn’t handle Lin Yixun’s smile. This woman was already mesmerizing enough, but when she smiled, she was like a seductress, making one’s mind wander.
Song Yi couldn’t help but think, maybe the boss’s unusual decision to spare them wasn’t because of this woman’s hacker skills, but because he was captivated by her beauty.
It wasn’t just Song Yi who was curious about why Feng Chengyu changed his mind suddenly, even his close friend Chu Feng was curious.
At this moment, the two of them were leisurely lying on the rooftop patio of the villa, with a minimalist-style coffee table beside the sofa, with two glasses of fine red wine on it.
Chu Feng withdrew his gaze from the black car driving away, turned to the man on the opposite sofa, and said with a smile, "I’m curious, why did you let her go? This doesn’t seem like your usual style."
"Usual style? What is my usual style in your eyes?" the man leisurely replied.
"Do I really need to say it?" Chu Feng gave a devilish smile.
In Chu Feng’s impression, Feng Chengyu’s style was rather kill a thousand wrongly than let one go. But this time, not only did he let this unexpected guest go, he also sent her to the United States. On the surface, it looked like an exile, but in reality she was given a great boon. After all, getting into Carnegie Mellon wasn’t easy.
"I say, are you interested in her?" Chu Feng suddenly leaned closer and gossiped.
In response, the man only gave him a cold glare. Feng Chengyu took a glass of red wine from the coffee table, the blood-red liquid swirling in the clear glass, glowing with a bewitching light.
After a long time, the man’s rich voice slowly came, "I kept her because I found her somewhat interesting. She was the first woman to openly challenge me and the first one to make me stumble."
It was about a two-hour drive from the villa to the airport. Lin Yixun opened the car door, got out, and took her suitcase from Song Yi, ready to say goodbye to Song Yi and Chu Yan. However, considering her amnesia, Chu Yan insisted on walking her to the gate.
Chu Yan’s attentiveness touched Lin Yixun. When she finally waved goodbye to the two of them, she felt a bit reluctant deep inside.
However, no matter how reluctant, the road ahead had to be walked alone. Eventually, she boarded the plane to the United States.
Due to her amnesia, Lin Yixun wasn’t very comfortable being in a confined space with so many people. She leaned back, closed her eyes, hoping to feel better.
She wanted to take a break and think about her future, when she heard an excited voice from a girl in the front row.
"Oh my god, I can’t believe I’m seeing Ouyang Hao in first class! Ouyang Hao is here! Oh my god! Am I dreaming?"
