Genius Club.

Chapter 252 Ji Lin's Secret

Lin Xian didn't move.

He just raised his head and stared at the gorgeous Hollywood actress in front of him.

Angelica...

Lin Xian, who loved watching movies, had heard of this name long before he came across the Seven Deadly Sins.

She debuted as a child star in her teens and has been a big name in Hollywood for more than ten years. Not only does she have explosive acting skills, but she also has a variety of styles and can easily handle any role. Therefore, she has earned the title of "Versatile Witch" among movie fans.

Some time ago, she won the Oscar for Best Actress for her role in the film "Broken Bridge", filling in the last piece of the puzzle for her acting career and completing the Grand Slam.

At the young age of 26, he has won the Grand Slam in the film industry. He is truly gifted.

It has to be said that Angelica's unique appearance is also an indispensable part of her success.

There is no shortage of white actresses, black actresses, or actresses with Asian looks in Hollywood, but what it lacks most is Angelica's angular and cold native Middle Eastern looks.

That sculptural three-dimensional sense is a unique advantage that no other race possesses.

Lin Xian likes to use the word "sculpture" the most to describe the people in the New East China Sea City in the second dream and the Rhine Sky City in the third dream. The men and women there have undergone genetic modification and "reshaped" themselves to look like sculptures.

This also indirectly shows that this kind of sculptural sense is the ultimate beauty.

VV once said that her looks were only below average in Rhine Sky City, but with Angelica's angelic face, Lin Xian thought it would be no problem for her to be ranked above average in Sky City.

The fact that she can defeat genetically modified organisms with her original appearance shows how much God has blessed Angelica. Just like her name, Anjelica, she is like an angel.

However, no one expected it.

This "ever-changing witch" actually has another identity that no one knows about——

A criminal organization formed by Ji Xinshui, one of the seven deadly sins, lust.

After being deceived by his own fake invitation to the Genius Club, Ji Xinshui honestly confessed all the facts of the crime.

That's when Angelica's lustful identity was revealed.

But I don’t know whether Ji Xinshui had a change of heart and did not reveal the crimes of Ji Lin and Angelica; or whether Angelica was really so innocent and did not participate in these crimes.

In short, as the only remnant of the Seven Deadly Sins left in the world, Angelica is now clean and innocent, and her life and acting career have not been affected at all.

However, Lin Xian doesn't think so.

He thought that Ji Xinshui must have lied.

Take a thousand steps back.

Even if Angelica really did not participate in these murders, she must have participated in other tasks arranged by Ji Xinshui.

Otherwise, why should she be included in the seven deadly sins to make up the numbers?
Wouldn't it be better to just let her be a Hollywood movie star?
Since Angelica was included in the seven deadly sins and was called "Lust", it means that she cannot be absolutely clean.

Taking into account Ji Xinshui's obsession with joining the Genius Club, and her identity as a Hollywood actress who can easily blend into various upper-class societies and come into contact with high-level people... Lin Xian guessed that Angelica's job arranged by Ji Xinshui might be intelligence gathering?

For an action like killing, Ji Lin's brain is enough, and Angelica is really not needed.

But Ji Lin does not have Angelica's advantages.

She is beautiful, stunning, and extremely beautiful. To some high-ranking men, her lethality is far greater than that of a mystery novelist like Ji Lin. Perhaps with just a frown or a smile, she can turn these big shots who cannot keep silent into Tmall elves who answer their own questions.

Of course, this is just Lin Xian’s guess.

just.

You still have to be on guard.

Just like now.

This remnant of the Seven Deadly Sins happened to come to me after the commendation meeting and when I was honored...

It's really a bit creepy.

Although in fact, Ji Xinshui and Ji Lin committed crimes, and it was reasonable for the law to punish them, he was just an enthusiastic spectator.

But from Angelica's perspective...

She was indeed the indirect murderer of her adoptive father and her half-brother.

Lin Xian turned around and faced Angelica.

Looking at her friendly right hand extended, without any movement:
"I think we have nothing to talk about."

"Don't be so nervous, Lin Xian." Angelica retracted her right hand and put both hands in her coat pockets:
"I'm not here to seek revenge on you, why are you so alert? If I really wanted to kill you, you would have died just now."

Lin Xian chuckled:
"This is not Hollywood, Ms. Angelica. It's not your home turf as a female agent, and there aren't that many silly actors to cooperate with you."

"I am surprised that you dare to come to Dragon Country alone. Even if there is no evidence to prove that you participated in the crime, it does not mean that you are innocent. Everyone knows the truth."

Angelica turned her head away and spread her hands with a smile:
"A person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear. Why shouldn't I come? I brought Ji Lin's ashes and the old man's ashes back to Brooklyn. As early as two months ago, I came to Longguo twice... If I really had a guilty conscience, I wouldn't have dared to come at that time."

……

Lin Xian didn't say anything.

He really couldn't guess why this woman came to see him.

Think conventionally.

80% of them are definitely here for revenge.

However, at present, this woman's emotions are very stable and her thinking is very clear. She does not look like a desperado.

What's more, Ji Xinshui and Ji Lin had done something illegal and punishable by death. Unless one's values ​​are extremely distorted, how could one have the nerve to avenge them?

They both deserved to die.

Seeing that Lin Xian didn't speak.

Angelica stretched out her slender fingers and pointed at the Alpha commercial vehicle with its electric door open:

"Although this is the first time we meet, we are old friends who know each other well. Why don't you invite me to sit in the car?"

Lin Xian felt that this woman was really unreasonable and shook his head:

"I still say the same thing. I don't think we have anything to talk about. If there is nothing else, I will go home."

After saying that, Lin Xian turned around, held the car door, and walked into the car.

"Then you might regret it." Angelica disagreed.

She took out a white envelope from her coat pocket with her left hand.

"Ji Lin left a gift for you."

"I do not want."

Lin Xian had already got half of his body into the business car.

The lawyer had come before and wanted to transfer all of Ji Lin’s assets to himself, but Lin Xian refused.

The only thing he did was to use the check for 1200 million US dollars to buy Zheng Xiangyue a ticket to the moon.

This can be considered as a little compensation for the little sister who lost her brother on behalf of Ji Lin and Ji Xinshui.

Lin Xian sat firmly in the business seat. The driver pressed the electric door closing button and the door of Alpha slowly closed.

"Ji Lin knew you would say that, so he asked me to personally deliver this gift to you. He also said that if you insist on not accepting it, he will tell you..."

The electric door slid halfway, and Angelica's beautiful face was blocked by the door, her bright red lips slightly opened and closed:
"【Genius Club】."

……

boom.

The electric door closes.

Angelica sat in the seat next to her, crossed her legs, and looked at the driver through the small window of the soundproof cabin:

“Take me to the Peninsula Hotel.”

The driver turned his head and looked at Lin Xian with a questioning look.

Lin Xian nodded slightly.

Buzz————

The Alpha business car started, turned onto the expressway, and drove towards the HP District of Donghai City.

The soundproof windows in the driver's cabin and passenger compartment were also closed.

"So... the old man's persistence and the things that Ji Lin has been investigating are all related to this organization called the Genius Club?"

Angelica spoke first:
"Of course I know that the two of them have been doing very dangerous things, but I don't know what they are doing specifically, and they won't tell me." "Why?" Lin Xian asked.

Humph.

Angelica chuckled:
"The old man told me that I was unreliable and a man of action, but not careful enough, so he told me to focus on mixing in the upper-class circles. And Ji Lin told me that... the old man dug me out of the pile of dead bodies, and he didn't want me to have blood on my body. But I think they were both lying, they were just hiding it from me."

"Then how did you know about the Genius Club?" Lin Xian asked.

Logically speaking, this name could not be known by Angelica.

Even though Angelica is Ji Xinshui's adopted daughter.

But Ji Xinshui was willing to kill Xu Yun in order to join the Genius Club. How could a mere adopted daughter be compared with a legitimate son-in-law?
Lin Xian didn't think Angelica was so important and irreplaceable in Ji Xinshui's heart.

Even including Ji Lin.

Ji Xinshui's only dream and obsession in life is to join the Genius Club.

He was willing to tell Ji Lin this name, most likely just to use Ji Lin's brain, not because he trusted Ji Lin so much. It was probably just a helpless move.

As for Ji Lin, it was only on the last night before he was about to kill himself that he was willing to mention the name of the Genius Club to buy time when facing his dying self.

and so.

Lin Xian was very curious.

Where on earth had Angelica heard that name?

"Half a month ago, Ji Lin's lawyer sent me a letter."

Angelica said softly:

"This was all arranged by Ji Lin. The lawyer said that Ji Lin told me that if Lin Xian still had no intention of inheriting the estate two months after his death, he should give the letter to me."

"I opened the letter and it told me that I could accept all the other inheritances, but I had to personally deliver this gift to you. At the end of the letter, it also said that if you still insisted on not accepting it, you should read out the words 'Genius Club' and he said you would definitely be interested."

She smiled, her pearly teeth and red lips were very beautiful:

"As it turns out, Ji Lin guessed right again."

"He was always so smart, so confident, he was the smartest guy I've ever met, and I never saw him miss a thing, lose a game or a tournament."

"So I was also surprised that he would fail sometimes. I always feel that things are not that simple. The police released too little information, saying that Ji Lin and Zhou Duanyun had an internal conflict, so he was killed by Zhou Duanyun... This is too funny. What level of person is Zhou Duanyun? He is transparent in Ji Lin's eyes. How could Ji Lin be killed by Zhou Duanyun?"

"This is also the reason why I came to see you, Lin Xian."

Angelica took out the small white envelope and handed it to Lin Xian:
"Tell me the truth about Ji Lin's death and what the Genius Club is."

Lin Xian reached out and wanted to take the envelope.

however.

Angelica raised her index finger and held the envelope upright, leaving Lin Xian with nothing to grab:
"Answer my question first."

Lin Xian turned his head and chuckled:
"You still don't understand the current situation, Angelica. This is something Ji Lin left for me. It has nothing to do with you. You are just a delivery man. Why are you talking about conditions with me?"

"I won't answer any of your questions. You'd better give up this idea as soon as possible. This is not the field you should step into. I think the reason why Ji Xinshui and Ji Lin didn't tell you about the Genius Club is that they don't want you to get involved in this muddy water. You should just listen to them and be an actress honestly."

Click.

Angelica pulled out a lighter and lit it, the flame dancing on the lighter.

"Don't smoke in the car." Lin Xian reminded.

Angelica smiled.

Place the small white envelope over the lighter flame:
"I'll give you ten seconds to think about it, Lin Xian."

"It won't take ten seconds, just burn it."

Lin Xian looked at her calmly:
"I don't care what Ji Lin left for me, but you are really an acting genius... There is no Oscar for you here, what are you acting?"

During this period, Lin Xian felt that he was surrounded by many acting talents.

The VV in the dream is the same as Angelica in front of me now.

It was obvious that this was something Ji Lin asked her to deliver... did she really dare to burn it?
however.

Unexpected!

Angelica simply pushed the envelope down and set it on fire with the flame of a lighter!

boom.

The shiny little white envelope burst into flames!

Angelica also smiled calmly and looked at Lin Xian.

Lin Xian remained calm.

There is something strange inside...

What on earth is this woman doing?
Why are all the operations incomprehensible?

Suddenly.

Lin Xian recalled Ji Lin’s comments about Angelica.

It was a few days before Ji Lin's birthday. When Lin Xian went to his villa to dress up, he saw the photo in the bedroom. It was a photo of Angelica and Ji Lin when they were children, standing on both sides of Ji Xinshui.

At that time, Ji Lin told Lin Xian:

"Angelica is very smart too. Not everyone can make it in such a complicated place like Hollywood."

"She is great in many ways. Even in terms of mobility, I have never seen a woman stronger than her. She is really very mobile. It feels like... she is about the same as you."

"You are also very active, like driving alone to chase the murderer... If it weren't for the sudden explosion of the bomb, would you have planned to use the sports car to stop the taxi? Or even crash the taxi into it?"

"Angelica is just that kind of person. She can do things like this. Not just in the movie, but in real life...she is pretty much the same."

The ability to take action.

Lin Xian admitted that Angelica's decisive move of burning the envelope did make him stunned for a moment.

It was almost an instinctive reaction, and he wanted to stop it reflexively.

after all……

That was the clue information about the Genius Club that Ji Lin left for him.

This is what he needs most right now, and it would be a lie to say that he doesn't want it.

in front of you.

The little white envelope was half burned.

Lin Xian still didn't move.

He wanted to see what this woman was planning.

at last……

When the flames were about to burn her fingers, Angelica chuckled and shook her head:
"No wonder Ji Lin said he made a good friend. I underestimated you."

Hey.

A small silver metal object fell from the burnt envelope and landed on the floor at his feet.

Lin Xian looked down and saw it was a key.

No wonder Angelica dared to burn the envelope directly. Keys are not afraid of burning at all. She was just testing me on purpose.

"This is what Ji Lin left for you."

Angelica bent down, picked up the key, and threw it into Lin Xian's arms:
"112 Marshall Street, Princeton, New Jersey."

She looked at Lin Xian with great interest:

"Do you know whose house this is?"

"Isn't it Ji Lin's?" Lin Xian replied.

"Of course it belongs to Ji Lin now. He bought this old house a long time ago. I guess it's because you are not familiar with Princeton. In fact, this house street number is quite well-known in the United States."

"This is a famous mansion. Decades ago, the world's greatest physicist lived in this house..."

Angelica licked her lips and looked at Lin Xian:

"Albert Einstein."
