Chapter 92: 91, Ask for directions_1

After Ren He and his group had left, they failed to notice a young man standing at the spot on Luo City Bridge where Ren He had dived. He leaned casually against the railing with keen interest, his gaze following Ren He’s departing figure.

At that moment, his phone rang. The young man answered the call, "Hello?"

"The target arrives in Luo City in four days, and you must ensure his safety," a crisp female voice said on the phone.

"I still don’t understand why we have to protect a diplomat on home soil... for which I had to give up two weeks of vacation," complained the young man. "I’ve already told my fans I’d start live broadcasting my survival in the wild next week, and now I’ve stood them up. Do you have any idea how much income I’m going to lose? But I get it, the mission is obviously the most important, but could you at least let me in on the specifics, Xingchen? I did see an interesting boy in Luo City just now; he jumped from a 12-meter bridge and entered the water with the most perfect form. And the strength in his muscles, I’m so envious. You know, he might just be a middle school student!" Watching as Ren He was about to vanish from his line of sight, the young man hurriedly got into his car and gave chase, driving and saying, "I plan to make contact; it’s been a long while since we’ve brought in some fresh blood anyway!"

The woman on the phone, known as Xingchen, grew colder, "Lin Hao, could you not start extracurricular activities every time you complete a mission? Also, adding new members involves a series of strict vetting processes, it’s not a joke as you treat it."

"I have the right to nominate, okay?" protested Lin Hao.

"Talk about that after you’ve completed your mission. The target has made significant contributions in this Medical Exchange with sixteen nations and knows a lot. Reliable sources indicate that foreign organizations want to extract information about this exchange from him. If you mess this up, you can consider yourself out," she said sternly.

With a click, the call ended, and Lin Hao curled his lips, putting on his sunglasses with an air of nonchalance. Although the woman cautioned him time and again, Lin Hao still did things his own way, believing that genius should come with a unique personality.

His car slowly trailed behind Ren He and the others. At this moment, Lin Hao remained unaware of the turn of events that would soon happen to him; if he had known, he probably would’ve focused earnestly on the mission...

Previously, when Lin Hao had passed over Luo City Bridge, he had just arrived in Luo City, though it wasn’t his first visit to the city. However, while passing through Luo City, he had seen Ren He, clad only in swim trunks. The muscular strength Ren He displayed at the moment of his leap was simply astounding, hardly fitting for a middle school student!

As someone who live broadcast outdoor activities and paid close attention to physical fitness, and someone who also understood the human anatomy, he knew how challenging it would be for a middle school student to possess such muscular strength!

Because of his expertise in this area, while others might not see anything out of the ordinary in Ren He, he immediately became intrigued.

Lin Hao drove his car slowly up beside Ren He, Yang Xi, and Xu Nuo. Lowering the window, he greeted the three teenagers, "Hello, classmates. I’m a visitor to Luo City, looking to get to Xingshu Road. Could you please tell me how to get there?" Although Lin Hao knew the way, he found it interesting to engage with Ren He under the guise of a stranger, unaware of his motives, and seamlessly invade his personal life.

However, upon seeing Lin Hao with his showy sunglasses look, Ren He raised an eyebrow. Was that an attempt to hit on Yang Xi? Love can make a man more sensitive...

Lin Hao remained unaware of the misunderstanding he had caused, waiting for a response, only to hear Ren He say, "You’re going the wrong way, you should turn around and head south."

Xu Nuo and Yang Xi both opened their mouths but said nothing; the direction Ren He was pointing was clearly the opposite one!

Lin Hao was taken aback, "The wrong way?"

"Yes! Trust me, I can’t be wrong!" Ren He declared confidently.

Lin Hao felt a bit of a headache, knowing that Ren He had given him the wrong directions. It seemed like even middle schoolers these days were full of mischief; he could swear that Ren He knew where Xingshu Road was and was just lying on purpose! Where was the trust between people? Lin Hao had this level of judgment, but since he had bluntly stated from the start that he had just arrived in Luo City and didn’t know his way around, he couldn’t just expose the other party, could he: Ha ha, I was just messing with you, I know my way around!

Wouldn’t that make him an idiot?! Lin Hao still wanted to have some fun with this middle school student, so he said with a pained smile, "To think I went the wrong way, thanks, student!"

He turned the steering wheel and headed back the way Ren He had directed him... and even had to say thank you...

Sure enough, Lin Hao hadn’t expected to be taken down a notch by a kid, the middle school students these days were just too cunning! What he didn’t know was that Ren He was the kind of person who would block the classroom door during breaks to prevent classmates from giving Yang Xi love letters...

After Lin Hao drove off, Xu Nuo asked dumbly, "Why did you give him the wrong directions? Aren’t we going to Xingshu Road ourselves?"

"Oh, I figured since he’s from out of town, I’d let him enjoy more of Luo City’s scenery," Ren He said matter-of-factly.

Only Yang Xi seemed to understand why Ren He did that. She looked at Ren He amusedly but didn’t call him out. Actually, during the process of dating, sometimes girls quite enjoy it when their partner gets jealous; it feels like being cared for.

Of course, deliberately making your boyfriend angry and jealous is a bit too much; a relationship doesn’t need that kind of confirmation.

After lunch, Ren He sent Little Fatty back to study. Without someone to push him, Little Fatty wouldn’t study on his own. With his current grades, he couldn’t even get into their school, so he definitely needed to buckle down.

Yang Xi, on the other hand, had always been a good student, so she didn’t have to cram like Xu Nuo at the last minute.

Youth is beautiful, and a couple can spend a happy afternoon doing nothing at all, always with endless topics to talk about. However, as Ren He was heading home in the evening, he suddenly saw, right there on Xingshu Road, the car belonging to the young man who had asked for directions at noon, parked at the roadside!

Even the license plate number was the same, there was no doubt about it.

With his super-strong memory, Ren He had the ability to never forget anything he saw; remembering a string of numbers from long ago was a piece of cake for him, so long as it had appeared in his field of vision or had been captured by his auditory perception.

However, since the other party had asked for directions to Xingshu Road, Ren He didn’t give it much thought when he saw the car parked there; the guy probably found his way after all...

Just then, Lin Hao came out of a small restaurant, ready to get back in his car, only to see Ren He looking at his license plate. He quickly ducked back into the restaurant.

What’s going on, Lin Hao wondered, astonished. A middle school student, whom I only asked for directions at midday, managed to remember my car and its license plate? That’s just incredibly gifted.

Lin Hao was certain the other party had recognized his car.
