Starting with a cub, the superpower boss becomes the richest man by lying flat

Chapter 56: So you were the one who gave Ziyuan advice?
However, Meng Yichen remembered the previous lesson firmly this time. He knew that she hated being used the most, no matter in what way, so he didn't dare to show any abnormality. He just tried to get closer to her as much as possible without leaving any trace.

Although Meng Yichen was very handsome, his physique meant that he was not Lin Xin's type. Moreover, she had never thought about getting married. She was just thinking about raising her younger brother well and then relying on him.

Therefore, she felt uncomfortable with Meng Yichen's approach, so she moved a little away from him. Although it might seem a bit self-indulgent to think so, her main goal was not to leave any room for ambiguity for anyone. The last time she was offended by Mo Ziyuan's looks was enough to make her feel upset.

"By the way, where is Mo Ziyuan? Why didn't he come with you guys?" Thinking of Mo Ziyuan, Lin Xin realized that he was not among the people who came today.

"Ziyuan," Meng Yichen coughed uncomfortably, tilting his head. "Ziyuan went back to the capital for something."

"Back to the capital?" Lin Xin repeated, frowning. "Is he sending the things I gave him back to the capital to those royal family members and elders?"

Meng Yichen raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect Mo Ziyuan to tell her this.

Lin Xin immediately understood his expression, but she didn't feel uncomfortable. They were not familiar with each other, so it was normal for them to not trust each other. On the contrary, she felt that it was abnormal for Mo Ziyuan to tell her everything last time.

"He told me in order to get what I had. I promised him I wouldn't tell anyone." Lin Xin thought about it and explained. After all, it was a matter of life and death. It would be bad if Meng Yichen thought that Mo Ziyuan was a talkative and unreliable person.

Meng Yichen was a smart man. He immediately understood what she wanted to express and couldn't help laughing. "Miss Lin, you don't have to tell me all this. We all trust Ziyuan's judgment. Since he told you the matter, it means he trusts you. Then we will all trust you too. We still have a long time to get along with each other. You will know when the time comes."

After he mentioned it twice, combined with Mo Ziyuan's statement that they planned to build a house in the village, she had a guess: "You guys are not going to use our village as your base in the future, are you?"

"Huh? Why do you ask that?" Meng Yichen blinked in surprise, somewhat amazed at her sharpness.

"I guessed." Lin Xin didn't say anything more to him and turned into the kitchen. The braised spare ribs should be out of the pot.

Everyone was very satisfied with the meal, especially since they had brought their own soju. Old man Cui Shi's beard was covered in sauce. He squinted his eyes and said to Lin Xin, "Don't worry, leave Nan Nan to me. In less than ten years, I guarantee you'll see the rise of Dr. Lin."

Lin Xin thought he was drunk and talking nonsense. Who can become a miracle doctor after studying medicine for ten years?

Meng Yichen also joined in the fun, "Miss Lin, leave Nan Nan's enlightenment to me. I guarantee that he will be among the top three in high school in the future!"

Gao Yong and the others also said that they would teach Lin Nan kung fu so that he could beat up those who wanted to bully him so badly that even their mother wouldn't be able to recognize them.

Looking at the table full of tipsy people, Lin Xin suddenly felt a warm sensation in her heart, just like a team she had been in during the apocalypse. Except for the captain's girlfriend and her, all the team members were big men. Before every mission, they would pat their chests loudly, saying that men should protect girls, and they did so every time they encountered danger.

Unfortunately, they encountered high-level zombies while collecting supplies in a shopping mall. In order to protect their only two girls, those people died one by one in front of them. The last one to die was the captain. Before he died, he said to them: "You will have to protect yourselves in the future. You still need to practice more!"

After saying that, he walked into the zombie group and detonated his superpower core, leaving her and his girlfriend enough time to escape. However, the captain's girlfriend died in a zombie siege later. She almost died, and she awakened her wood power at the critical moment and escaped.

Thinking about these things, Lin Xin felt like it was raining, otherwise why was her face wet?

She raised her head and wiped her face, and found that she had been crying without knowing when.

"Ms. Lin, why are you crying?" It was always the naive Gao Yong who spoke first. "I'm fine, this wine is too spicy," Lin Xin made up an excuse.

"Hey, I thought something was wrong! This soju is really strong and not suitable for you girls to drink."

This matter was quickly exposed, and the grown men began to clink glasses. Looking at them at this moment, Lin Xin thought of their ending in the book, where it seemed that none of them survived.

She looked at Meng Yichen again. He was the last one to die and he avenged everyone.

She didn't feel anything when she read the book. After all, the change of the throne has always been accompanied by bloodshed and sacrifice. In her opinion, those characters were just created by the author and were all NPCs.

But now she has become one of those NPCs, and she suddenly doesn't want these people to repeat the ending in the book. She wants them all to survive.

"Miss Lin, what are you thinking about?" Meng Yichen's body cannot drink alcohol, so he is the most sober one besides Lin Nan. Seeing that Lin Xin's mood is a little wrong, he sat next to her and asked.

Lin Xin shook her head, unsure what to say. After thinking for a long time, she hesitantly asked him, "Do you... do you think sending those things to the capital will actually be helpful?"

Meng Yichen pondered for a moment, shook his head, and replied, "It might be of some use, but I personally don't think it will be very useful. It's even possible that we'll only take out one of the other side's minions, and definitely won't be able to shake their foundation."

Lin Xin looked over in surprise, "Then why didn't you stop Mo Ziyuan?"

Meng Yichen was silent for a moment before saying, "Ziyuan didn't just come to Beijing to hand over the things. He also...he wanted to do something very dangerous. I can't stop him, and I can't stop him."

Lin Xin suddenly had a bad feeling. "He...he's not going to assassinate the Grand Tutor, is he?"

Meng Yichen was only surprised for a moment, then nodded silently: "Yes, he went to assassinate the Grand Tutor."

"Hiss~" Lin Xin gasped, "I just said that, how come he really went!"

Meng Yichen turned his head abruptly and looked at her: "Are you the one who gave Ziyuan advice?"

Lin Xin nodded uncomfortably. "I heard him say the Emperor is obsessed with elixirs, neglecting state affairs and favoring corrupt officials. Even if he got the gift, who would he show it to? It would be better to just get rid of the Grand Tutor once and for all."

Even though Meng Yichen was extremely intelligent, he didn't know what expression to make at this moment. At the same time, he felt very strange. Ziyuan was obviously not a person who could easily change his decision. Why did he make that fatal decision after hearing Miss Lin's words?
"What should I do now? Can I still contact him?" Lin Xin hated herself for speaking without restraint at that time and hurriedly thought of ways to make amends.

Meng Yichen shook his head. "Ziyuan has already set off. It takes about two days to travel from here to the capital without stopping. He's probably halfway there by now. It's impossible to catch up with him."
