Chapter 1705: Resist such a Temptation
Lu Jin came out of the elevator in the apartment building and walked directly to the underground parking lot.
He found a car in the underground parking lot that he didn’t drive often. He wasn’t in a hurry to get into the car. Instead, he put on a pair of transparent gloves and found two license plates from the trunk. He put them on the front and rear of the car.
Huo Shaoheng came out of the elevator and saw this scene.
He hid in the shadow of a corner of the parking lot and observed in secret with interest. He thought to himself that Lu Jin had been able to hide under the eyes of the shrewd He Chengjian for so many years. He must have acc.u.mulated a lot of “fighting” methods…
Lu Jin put the license plate on and wiped the dust off his gloves with a tissue. He opened the door and got in the car.
After he got in the car, he quickly glanced at the parking lot. Seeing that there was no one else, he felt relieved and drove out.
After Lu Jin drove off, Huo Shaoheng flashed out and got into his car.
Unlike Lu Jin, Huo Shaoheng had already changed the license plate on his car, so there was no need to rush at the last minute.
Coming out of the apartment complex, Huo Shaoheng saw that the road ahead was empty. Lu Jin’s car was nowhere to be seen.
However, he was in no hurry. If he followed too closely, Lu Jin would find him.
As an experienced intelligence agent, this kind of thing was not a problem at all.
He sat in the car, took out his phone, and sent a message to Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi was not asleep yet.
Too many things had happened that night. Although she pretended to be calm, her heart was like a volcano in Hawaii, erupting from the bottom of the sea and bursting hard.
She had just been rolling on the bed for a while when she heard her phone ring.
She took it and saw that it was a text message from the king of Drama.
The King of Drama: [ do you have the location of your father’s phone? ]
Gu Nianzhi frowned and replied: [ why? ]
The King of Drama: [ send me his current location. Don’t let him know. ]
Huo Shaoheng knew that no matter who Lu Jin was on guard against, he would not be on guard against Gu Nianzhi.
Therefore, his phone was definitely open to Gu Nianzhi’s phone.
Similarly, Huo Shaoheng believed that Gu Nianzhi’s phone was open to Lu Jin.
Gu Nianzhi’s unease began to grow.
She sat up on the bed, turned on her phone’s GPS, and found Lu Jin’s location.
He wasn’t next door!
The GPS on her phone showed that Lu Jin had left the apartment block and was driving towards the highway.
Gu Nianzhi was anxious and quickly sent Lu Jin’s coordinates to Huo Shaoheng. She anxiously replied: [ what happened? It’s the middle of the night, where is my dad going? ! ]
Huo Shaoheng quickly replied with a voice message: [ it’s okay, I’m here. ]
He hung up the phone and followed the coordinates Gu Nianzhi had given him for Lu Jin. He drove and chased after Lu Jin.
Gu Nianzhi couldn’t fall asleep anymore. She got out of bed and turned on her laptop to keep in close contact with Huo Shaoheng.
She didn’t know if Huo Shaoheng would be able to pick up the phone at this time, so she only sent him a message: [ I’m already online. Call me if you need anything. ]
Huo Shaoheng didn’t look at his phone. He turned onto the highway and saw Lu Jin’s car.
There were very few cars on the road at this time, but it wasn’t empty either.
Therefore, he didn’t attract Lu Jin’s attention when he was stuck in the middle of a few night-driving cars.
In fact, Lu Jin’s entire attention was focused on what he was going to do later.
He could feel his heartbeat. He did not need to measure it to know that it was at least 25 times faster than usual.
His blood pressure was rising rapidly, but it had yet to reach the threshold of high blood pressure.
Meanwhile, all of Is.h.i.+hara Baisan’s resume was running through Lu Jin’s mind.
He had just lied to Gu Nianzhi in her living room.
He had indeed been cla.s.smates with Is.h.i.+hara Baisan for a period of time, and they were PhD students.
However, he had only stayed in Is.h.i.+hara Baisan’s laboratory for a short period of time at that time. He had his own PhD student tutor, and because the two tutors were not on good terms. Also, he did not want others to know that he had come to this laboratory to further his studies, so he used a purely American pseudonym.
He did not want credits or academic records. He only treated him as a student in the laboratory to further his studies, so the management was not that strict.
Just by looking at his name, no one could find out that he and Is.h.i.+hara Baisan were once cla.s.smates.
And later, because of Qin Suwen’s sudden death, he was wanted by He Chengjiang.
To avoid He Chengjiang, he deleted his previous resume on the internet intermittently.
The information that ordinary people could find about him was getting less and less.
Of course, if they were familiar with him, they would still know.
But there weren’t so many traces on the internet.
Lu Jin looked at his phone. He had already found out that Is.h.i.+hara Baisan was staying at the Dunxi Road Hotel in the capital.
After the Chinese New Year Gala, Is.h.i.+hara Baisan would definitely go back to the hotel to rest.
This person’s schedule was actually very strict, and he didn’t like to go to nightclubs, so he probably wouldn’t go out with people to have fun.
Driving to the parking lot of the Dunxi Road Hotel, Lu Jin took a real “fake” ident.i.ty card and asked for a room.
This ident.i.ty card was one of the few ident.i.ties he had created for himself to avoid He Chengjian’s arrest.
These ident.i.ty cards were all real in the government’s ident.i.ty card management system, so they were real.
But the person was fake, so it was a real “fake” ident.i.ty card.
He found out the floor where Is.h.i.+hara Baisan was staying and asked for a suite next to his room.
The Chinese New Year was the day that Chinese people reunite with their families all year round. Very few people went out on business at this time, so the occupancy rate of the Imperial Hotel was not very high.
Lu Jin easily got to his room.
He took the key card and went to his room. Lu Jin went to the bathroom first and changed his appearance slightly.
In fact, just by changing the shape of his eyebrows and nose and wearing black-rimmed gla.s.ses, he could look very different from his current appearance.
After disguising himself, Lu Jin called the internal line of Is.h.i.+hara Baisan’s room.
Is.h.i.+hara Baisan had just finished showering. He came out of the bathroom in a kimono bathrobe and sat on the sofa with his legs crossed. He was about to light a cigar for himself to smoke.
When he heard the internal phone in the hotel room ring, he didn’t even look at the caller ID. He thought it a call from was the lobby, so he answered it and said “h.e.l.lo”.
The person on the other side tried hard to speak in j.a.panese, “Is that Mr. Is.h.i.+hara? A friend of yours asked me to send you a gift.”
“Friend? Which friend?” Is.h.i.+hara Baisan frowned. “Why didn’t he contact me directly?”
“I don’t know either.” Lu Jin stuttered deliberately in j.a.panese. “His name is Gu Xiangwen.”
Is.h.i.+hara Baisan’s pupils suddenly widened. “Who? Who did you just say? !”
“I said, his name is Gu Xiangwen. This person asked me to give you a gift.”
“Isn’t he dead? ! He died eight years ago!” Is.h.i.+hara Baisan suddenly stood up from the sofa. “Are you lying to me?!”
“Yes, he is dead. He died eight years ago. He entrusted this to me before he died.” Lu Jin’s voice slowed down. “He said that if you come to Huaxia, just give this to you. If you don’t come, then forget it.”
Gu Xiangwen… left a gift for him before he died?
Is.h.i.+hara Baisan’s heart pounded, and he felt the blood in his body boiling.
Gu Xiangwen…
Although that rare genius was younger than him by more than ten years, he had achieved something that he could never achieve in his entire life.
Is.h.i.+hara Baisan had always respected the strong, but Gu Xiangwen was too young. Moreover, when he worked with him in the laboratory, he could not see that Gu Xiangwen was so powerful. Therefore, Is.h.i.+hara Baisan could not have the same respect for Gu Xiangwen as he did for the strong, however, he still admired him.
“What… What Gift is it?”Is.h.i.+hara Baisan stuttered.
At that time, they were actually quite close. Gu Xiangwen had even told him his real name. Therefore, when he heard the name “Gu Xiangwen,” he knew that Gu Xiangwen was the physics student who went to their laboratory to study under a pseudonym.
Lu Jin looked at the things in his hands and grinned. “A test tube and a few experimental notes.”
In the s.p.a.cious and quiet room, Is.h.i.+hara Baisan could hear his heavy breathing.
After a while, he suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked in a low voice, “Test tube? Experimental notes? What are they about? Why are they left for me?”
Lu Jin shrugged. “I don’t know. If you want to know, you can go and ask him.”
Is.h.i.+hara Baisan’s hands gripped the earpiece tightly, and he was in a dilemma.
‘Should I take a look at what that brilliant scientist left behind before he died?’
‘Even if it’s just a joke, there’s no harm in taking a look, right?’
Is.h.i.+hara Baisan thought to himself. In the end, he was still tempted by the test tubes and experimental notes left behind by Gu Xiangwen.
It could be said that no one in the world of high-energy physics and biological genetic engineering could resist such temptation.
He heard himself say into the phone, “Okay, give me the gift.”
Then he asked, “Where are you? What time shall we meet? I’ll come and find you.”
Lu Jin laughed, “Come out in three minutes, the gift will be at your door.”
