Chapter 451: Chapter 203: The Hidden Tycoon Lin Baici_2

Ah!

Let’s just go eat then!

Worst comes to worst, I’ll treat him back later. It’s just a western meal, right?

I can afford it.

"Pei Fei, what are you thinking about?"

Bai Jiao didn’t want to discuss this kind of topic, finding it completely uninteresting.

"Does anyone know about the White Deer Lane Restaurant?"

Pei Fei casually threw out the question.

Zhou Zhou and Tao Nai didn’t have a clue, so they turned to look at Ji Xinyan, who knew best when it came to food and entertainment.

"I’ve been telling you all along, just download Little Red Book, you’ll know everything."

Liu Zilu took a sip of her porridge: "White Deer Lane is the best French restaurant in Haijing, where you can have the most authentic French meal, like truffles, foie gras, and snails."

"Snails? What the hell is that?"

Zhou Zhou looked astonished, can you even eat that thing?

"Don’t you also eat river snail rice noodles?"

Liu Zilu retorted.

Pei Fei swallowed a gulp of saliva: "From what you’re saying, this restaurant seems pretty expensive?"

"The average cost per person is two thousand, and you need to reserve a seat in advance!"

Liu Zilu had always wanted to go and eat there, or well, she should say she had always wanted to go there to take photos and check in, but it was just too expensive. She did want to find some ’socialites’ to split the bill with, but having just arrived in Haijing, she was completely clueless about the local scene and worried about getting ripped off.

"Two thousand?"

Pei Fei was stunned,

Double that, and it’s my dad’s monthly salary.

She quickly opened WeChat and sent Lin Baici a message!

Pei Fei: Head of the class, I like Disney, I don’t like eating snails!

This is bad! This is so bad!

Don’t let Lin Baici think I’m the one trying to gouge his money.

Ah!

I really don’t understand!

A meal costs enough to buy three Disney tickets.

Lin Baici: You choose, let me know when you’ve decided!

Lin Baici genuinely didn’t care. His current monthly salary was 8.33 million, with a daily income of nearly 280 thousand; the price was the least of his concerns.

Pei Fei: I choose Disney!

This answer came quickly and decisively, because who would dare choose that restaurant, right?

It’s outrageously expensive.

Having finished this meal, Pei Fei felt as if she had sold herself to Lin Baici, destined to be exploited for all four years of college.

"If someone treats me to a French meal at White Deer Lane, I’ll bring my own Okamoto!"

After Liu Zilu said that, Ji Xinyan burst out laughing.

Zhou Zhou and Tao Nai didn’t get the joke because they didn’t know what Liu Zilu was referring to?

Bai Jiao rolled her eyes, understanding the joke but not really liking it.

"Pei Fei, why did you suddenly bring up White Deer Lane? Plus, you started messaging after hearing about it, don’t tell me there’s a guy who wants to treat you to a meal there?"

Liu Zilu was curious and even leaned over Zhou Zhou to try and get a glimpse of Pei Fei’s phone.

"No! No!"

Pei Fei quickly locked her screen.

She felt that Lin Baici probably wouldn’t want others to know about this kind of thing.

Where did Lin Baici get the money from?

Curious!

"There’s something fishy!"

Liu Zilu flexed her wrists, wearing a spy-like sinister smile, "Looks like I’ll have to torture you. Are you going to confess or not?"

"A classmate said he’d treat me to a meal there!"

Liu Zilu hastened to beg for mercy.

"Classmate? You mean boyfriend, right?"

Liu Zilu squinted her eyes, teasing Liu Zilu, implying that the relationship must have progressed to the heated-love stage for someone to invite her to such an expensive dinner.

"He’s either leading you on with empty promises or harboring ill intentions!"

Bai Jiao warned Pei Fei.

"That’s right, after a man pays a price, he’ll definitely want to get at least an equivalent return!"

Ji Xinyan had been to White Deer Lane before, and while some dishes were indeed well done, it was obvious the prices were inflated. A place like that was only worth visiting for requesting favors or for couples, since the significance of that meal exceeded what was actually consumed.

"..."

After thinking it over, Pei Fei realized, with Lin Baici’s looks, he probably wouldn’t pursue her.

Mommy!

Could it be that he’s a hidden tycoon? Dressed so plain, just to pretend to be an ordinary person, looking for a girlfriend who wouldn’t care about money or poverty?

Pei Fei felt like she had uncovered the truth.

"Speaking of Lin Baici, he does skip a lot of classes; he’ll probably regret it in the future."

Zhou Zhou felt that only someone like Xu Daguan, who already had a career, had the luxury to be so carefree.

"Can we stop talking about him?"

Bai Jiao was annoyed.

"If not him, who do we talk about? Xu Daguan?"

Ji Xinyan couldn’t help but smirk: "When I decide to lose weight, I’ll just need to mention that name a few times!"

"That’s right, Lin Baici’s looks are at least good enough to improve any meal!"

Liu Zilu chimed in, she had recently been thinking about posting on RED and becoming a blogger to earn some advertising fees, but she didn’t know what to post about.

How about posting the growth record of our class president?

We’re all classmates, he probably wouldn’t sue me for portrait rights infringement, right?

...

In the evening, Lin Baici hurried back to the residential area.

Gu Qingxiang had already returned and was busy in the kitchen.

Lin Baici washed his hands and hurried in, "Need any help?"

"Just relax on the sofa!"

Gu Qingxiang had bought some braised dishes and was plating them.

"Shall I cook the dumplings?"

Lin Baici suggested.

"No need!"

Gu Qingxiang had the air of a good wife and mother, never letting Lin Baici do any household chores.

No choice then!

Lin Baici could only lie on the sofa playing with his phone.

Browsing through the Origin Forum, he searched for posts about Busan Divine Ruins, but there were too few. Instead, there was an abundance of information about Qin Palace Divine Ruins.

Fifteen minutes later, the dumplings were ready.

Lin Baici gobbled them up, and when he wanted to wash the dishes, Gu Qingxiang stopped him again.

After washing the dishes, Gu Qingxiang came out with a fruit platter and sat on the sofa, watching TV with Lin Baici.

"..."

Lin Baici was on pins and needles.

"Something on your mind?"

Gu Qingxiang could tell Lin Baici wanted to leave.

"Yes!"

Lin Baici nodded.

"Well, you should go then!"

Gu Qingxiang looked at Lin Baici, and as she saw him to the door, she reminded him, "Someone reported you, saying you often skip classes and don’t return at night, setting a bad example for the whole class. Baici, you’re not just a university student but also the class president. You need to be a good role model!"

"Was it Liu Yu who reported me?"

Lin Baici was speechless. If not someone from his own dorm, how would they know he wasn’t returning at night?

Gu Qingxiang didn’t tell Lin Baici who had reported him.

"I currently have a job, I can’t tell you the details, but I assure you, I’m doing legitimate work!"

Lin Baici looked into Gu Qingxiang’s eyes with a sincere tone.

"Mhm!"

Gu Qingxiang smiled slightly, trusting Lin Baici’s character and promise.

Lin Baici left.

Gu Qingxiang stood by the window, watching Lin Baici walk away. She had intended to follow and see for herself, but ultimately she gave up.

Better not to interfere in his life.

...

Lin Baici sat in the taxi to the Medical University, calling Xia Hongyao, "Any findings?"

"There’s a rumor going around Haijing Normal University recently, about a sophomore girl who committed suicide by jumping off a building. She was taken to the morgue, but then she came back to life!"

Xia Hongyao’s voice indicated she was eating, "I checked it out, the girl only had minor bruises from the fall, but I also spoke with several eyewitnesses, confirming she indeed jumped."

"Don’t take any rash actions, I’ll take responsibility for this girl," Lin Baici estimated that this girl was related to the ’organ thief’: "What’s her name? Do you know the specifics?"

"Her name is Li Mei."

Xia Hongyao was reliable, having gathered this basic information: "She was dating a junior and got pregnant. Before she jumped off the building, they had just broken up, and she had had an abortion."

"That careless?"

After understanding more, Lin Baici decided to start his investigation with this couple.

"Is Detective Lin taking action?"

Xia Hongyao was excited, this time I will be Watson, or at the very least, Yuanfang!

"Where is the girl now? In the hospital?"

Lin Baici decided to go take a look.

"No, she’s still attending classes as usual!"

"That tough?"

Lin Baici was shocked – she just lost a child and isn’t resting for a few days?

When he arrived at Haijing Normal University, he went straight to the library to meet with Xia Hongyao.

"See her? The one on the left, wearing a white hoodie!"

Xia Hongyao pointed out the girl to Lin Baici.

"She looks good, and she got dumped?"

Lin Baici was surprised, easily a seven out of ten, and judging by her attire, quite a modest girl. He hadn’t expected her to get pregnant in university.

"Maybe it’s her figure. Perhaps she was dumped for that!"

Xia Hongyao theorized.

"..."

Lin Baici gave Xia Hongyao a look after hearing that. At least a C cup, and that’s considered not good? Do you think everyone is like you, a D cup?

"Lin Baici?"

Suddenly, Xia Hongyao heard someone calling Lin Baici’s name.
