Chapter 395 - : Invitation to a High-Difficulty Operation (1)

Ke Yanbin felt bitter.

It wasn’t like his men were monitoring Jiang Yu 24/7.

It was impossible for them to know every single phone call Jiang Yu gets.

“He probably only made one call and haven’t met, so… my men didn’t know about it.”

“What is Feng Le’an trying to do?”

Feng Linbai’s fingers tapped on the table repeatedly. “Could it be that he really wants to tie Feng Tianrui and Yu’er together?”

Ke Yanbin said weakly, “Perhaps, it’s really for tutoring? After all, Miss Jiang got full marks in the five-subject prelims…”

Feng Linbai immediately shot Ke Yanbin with a sharp gaze and Ke Yanbin immediately changed his excuse. “But Feng Tianrui isn’t that stupid. Moreover, he knows that Master, you…”

After all, he had been treated as a pawn a few times. Feng Tianrui definitely wouldn’t dream of snatching Feng Linbai’s wife, right?

Feng Linbai smiled. “Then we can borrow Feng Le’an’s strength.”

Ke Yanbin tactfully kept quiet.

…

It was the end of the year and the chill was starting to set in.

Jiang Jingnian had originally come to China to attend a seminar. That was some time ago but he still hadn’t returned to X-Institute.

Over at the research institute, David had called him a few times to summon him back, but Jiang Jingnian rejected him every time.

Although X-Institute was based abroad, it also had a branch in China. It was set up in Beijing to facilitate some research and to collect successful cases to send back to headquarters.

At this moment, Jiang Jingnian was sitting in the office of the branch in Beijing going through some files.

Outside the office, someone knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

A woman wearing a turtleneck sweater dress and black boots walked in. “Doctor Jiang, here’s your coffee.”

After arriving at the research institute in China, for convenience, Jiang Jingnian didn’t use the name Alex anymore. Instead, he asked everyone to address him as Doctor Jiang.

However, the people from this branch of the research institute didn’t have the right to know his full name.

Jiang Jingnian’s file belonged to headquarters. The people from the Beijing branch couldn’t access his file except for… people like Jiang Yu, who could easily hack into other people’s systems without anyone knowing.

Jiang Jingnian heard the voice and raised his head. He pointed at the table and said, “Just put it there.”

“Doctor Jiang, according to your taste—black coffee, no sugar. Try it, please,” the woman said. “I heard from the people in the headquarters that you like this brand of coffee beans. It was shipped in this morning.”

Jiang Jingnian saw through the woman’s intentions but he didn’t show it. He only said politely, “Thank you.”

Kong Zhihui had already inquired with the people at headquarters. Jiang Jingnian was a very easy person to get along with.

Moreover, during the time that he had been in China, Kong Zhihui had indeed felt that Jiang Jingnian was upstanding and gentlemanly. He didn’t put on airs like some of the other high-ranking doctors in X-Institute.

Therefore, she dared to ask, “Doctor Jiang, although you are from China, you have been abroad for so many years. When you come back, do you have to readjust again? The capital has changed a lot since you left. If you’re bored of staying in the office, I can accompany you for a walk to get some fresh air.”

Jiang Jingnian closed the file in his hand. “Thank you for your kindness in advance.”

Kong Zhihui thought that she had a chance. “Then, Doctor Jiang, if you need anything, you can call me anytime.”

The smile on Jiang Jingnian’s lips didn’t change. “I’ll remember it.”

Kong Zhihui left happily.

After she left, the smile on Jiang Jingnian’s face disappeared. Then, he dumped the coffee she had brought into a flower pot.
