Afraid that Flynn would find it odd if she took too long, she took her phone and hurriedly gave him a call. Since she had already found out the identity of his father, she was no longer in a hurry to send him the letter.
On one hand, it was because she knew how loyal Flynn was to Galaxis. She was not confident that he would help her out. On the other hand, she now suspected that the bizarre letter was written in a code language exclusive to Galaxis. Since she was a forr trainee at Galaxis Academy, it was likely that she had learnt it too. However, it was just a suspicion. She couldn’t entirely rely on rembering it.
When he answered the call, she thought about it and asked, "Will you be in B City any ti soon?"
"If you ask to co, I will be there as soon as you need ." He responded in the tone of a lackey answering to his boss.
"Then get on the next flight to B City." Lanni demanded, thinking that he was definitely kidding. However, the man chuckled softly and said, "Got it." He then hung up.
Lanni looked at her phone in disbelief. "That was too easy. Why do I feel like I’m falling into a trap?"
"He probably wants your help with sothing but he has been unable to convince you, so he is going to use this chance to his advantage." He couldn’t forget how earnestly Flynn had tried to lure Lanni back to Galaxis. "If he asks for anything you don’t want to do, I’ll shove him onto the first flight to Germany."
Lanni chuckled at his protective tone. "Don’t worry. I will not let myself be at a disadvantage. Take care of Ji Feifei and leave this to ."
"I’m more or less done. Ji Feifei will be set free in about a week." He announced proudly, as though waiting for praise. She giggled and ran a hand through his soft hair. "My baby has worked hard."
He enjoyed the praise as he hugged her. "Aren’t you going to reward ?"
She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his lips.
...
The following morning, Flynn had arrived and he asked to et Lanni in a café.
Xiehan would never completely trust that man so he accompanied Lanni to et him.
The man ran his hand through his hair that was in a ponytail and yawned as he looked at her. "I rushed over for you. It better be sothing important."
Lanni, who was sitting opposite him, smiled and raised an eyebrow at him. "You have always disregarded and treated like a spoilt princess who had no business discussing anything with you. How could you say you rushed over for ? The reason you are here so fast is because you want sothing from , right?"
Flynn shot a provoking glance at Xiehan then held his chin in his hand as though he was at a loss. "You are no longer so gullible. What will I do? It’s almost the sa feeling as...being unable to deceive one’s little sister anymore because she has grown up."
"Go straight to the point." Lanni couldn’t stand his taunting.
Enjoying the fact that it was so easy to annoy her, he grinned with his arms crossed. "Tell what you need."
Choosing to trust him this once, Lanni took out the printed picture of the letter and spread it out on the table in front of him. "Do you understand this language?"
He looked up at her in surprise. "I thought you recovered all of your mory. You don’t rember this?"
Lanni remained silent. It turned out, her speculation was right. It must be a code language and she must have been taught how to use it when she was Flynn’s trainee.
The man swept a glance through the letter and looked up at the two of them. "Interesting. I didn’t think you would receive such a...strong ssage. Who is the recepient?"
"I want to know what it ans." Lanni ignored his question.
He shrugged since it was not his business to begin with.
"I can tell you..." He looked at Xiehan aningfully.
Lanni held her man’s arm. "That’s alright. There’s nothing to hide from him."
He frowned slightly and looked straight at Lanni. "The thing is, I need you to do sothing for , but it’s not ti yet. I can only explain it when the ti cos. If you agree to owe this favor and do whatever it is when I ask you, then I can consider translating it for free."
"You..." Xiehan was ready to protest to this nonsensical term.
Lanni patted his arm. "It’s okay. He wouldn’t dare to cross the line. I have sothing against him."
Flynn raised his eyebrow at her threat. "Are you trying to scare , princess? You know that doesn’t work on ."
Xiehan clenched his fists to stop himself from launching a punch. What right did this man have to call Lanni that?
Lanni no longer minded him. She simply took out a lipstick from her pocket. "Do you rember this?"
He frowned when he saw the ’lipstick’ in her hand. "What’s that?"
Lanni smiled, her eyes full of mischief. "Don’t feign innocence. It’s the flash drive you have to Luna. I’m her sister. What makes you think she would hide it from ? And you... you did sothing against Galaxis’ privacy policy." In real sense, this USB flash drive had been given to her by Xingyu. He didn’t want to look into her private matters and knew that he may not resist the temptation if he kept it, so he gave it to her. She had not checked the content either but she was sure it was sothing that would put him in a tight spot.
"What makes you think anyone would believe that I have sothing to do with it?" Flynn grinned aningfully.
Lanni waved the lipstick at him. "I’m not sure about that. But one thing’s for sure. This would make the biggest headline for Tian Yu dia."
It was unsure what the man was thinking. He suddenly declared, "I will not try to take advantage of you, don’t worry. Once the deal is complete, I will want that back."
"Sure." Lanni kept it back in her purse with a smile.
"What a waste of my effort. She didn’t even check the content." The man suddenly sighed, making Lanni wonder why he was so sure about it. Before she could ask, he looked at the letter seriously. "It’s a warning—or more specifically , a threat of what’s going to happen."
