I rely on myself

Chapter 310 Sudden invitation

The invitation in Lin Yuan's hand was received this morning through the college.

The most common method of communication in this era was sending letters. Although the first telephones had been invented, it was obviously not affordable for ordinary people. Even for reasons of confidentiality and secrecy, the most common method of communication was still sending letters.

Lin Yuan also sent several letters to his family as communications through this method, so when he first received this letter, he thought something happened at home. But when he opened it, it turned out to be a black invitation.

Lin Yuan instantly felt that something was wrong and immediately opened it to take a look. There was a lot of content in it, but the general meaning was that the person admired Lin Yuan's clever magic, especially the heroic spirit dolls, so he invited him to go somewhere.

In addition to this part of the invitation, the other party's invitation also mentioned that if Lin Yuan did not want to accept the invitation, then they would have no choice but to take some tough measures. In short, this is the general content.

Although the words in the invitation were extremely respectful, the overall meaning was filled with threats.

Lin Yuan understood what was going on the moment he finished reading it, and immediately called someone using the phone in the dormitory.

"Yes, Lord Lin Yuan?"

Hearing the familiar voice coming from the microphone, Lin Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "It's me, Virginie, did you encounter any emergency?"

The person on the other end of the phone was none other than Lin Yuan's mercenary assistant and maid, Virginie.

Ever since Lin Yuan's puppet body was scrapped, he no longer worked as a mercenary, so Virginie naturally became idle. Usually, she helped Lin Yuan collect intelligence or purchase some supplies, which was very easy.

After receiving the invitation, Lin Yuan immediately felt a little uneasy. After all, the other party who could send him such a threatening invitation must not be a good person, and would not mind doing something bad to warn him.

The one who is most likely to become a target is undoubtedly Virginie, so Lin Yuan immediately called her and asked if she had encountered any problems.

"Ah, Lord Lin Yuan, I was just about to report to you that this morning, I suddenly encountered a group of attackers of unknown origin. If it weren't for the self-defense methods you gave me, I'm afraid I would have fallen into their hands."

Virginie's words undoubtedly confirmed Lin Yuan's premonition. Lin Yuan said with some shame: "I'm sorry, Virginie, I almost got you into trouble."

"No, Master Lin Yuan, I am your maid and your property, so you don't have to do this. It would be great if I could help Master Lin Yuan."

However, it was obvious that Virginie herself did not care much about being attacked. Instead, she cared more about whether she could help Lin Yuan.

Of course, Lin Yuan replied, "I helped with the door," and then told Virginie to try not to go out casually during this period and to put her own safety first.

After hearing this, Virginie agreed repeatedly, but Lin Yuan still felt a little uneasy in his heart, worried that Virginie would do something rash because of her overly strong loyalty to him.

After repeated instructions, Lin Yuan hung up the phone, picked up the invitation again, looked at it, and then said with a cold smile: "...Since you have already put the invitation in front of me, it seems that I really have to show my favor. But I don't know if you can afford my return gift, the unknown inviter."

Leaving behind this cold declaration that no one else could hear, Lin Yuan returned to his dormitory.

Then, as if returning to daily life, Lin Yuan went to the classroom and studied in his workshop as usual, and several days passed like this.

Every day was very peaceful, as if the invitation Lin Yuan received was just a prank, but Lin Yuan knew it was not, it was just that the other party had not taken action yet. After several days of daily life, Lin Yuan received the same invitation again. Unlike the previous long invitation, it only had a time and a place, and the meaning was self-evident.

In response to this, Lin Yuan's mouth corners couldn't help but curl up, revealing a cold smile.

"You're finally here! You've kept me waiting for so long! Let me see how confident someone is that they dare to mess with me."

--------

There was still an hour left until the time on the invitation. Lin Yuan was already ready, wearing a decent suit, as if he was attending an upper-class ball.

Although he didn't really want to accept the invitation, Lin Yuan would not do something childish like not dressing up. After all, this was Lin Yuan's own image.

Lin Yuan walked out of the school gate openly. At this time, he did not carry any puppets with him, so naturally he would not be stopped by the guards in front of the school gate.

Lin Yuan had just walked out of the school gate and was about to continue walking when a black car stopped in front of him.

Looking at this scene, Lin Yuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and whispered to himself: "Should I say it was an accident or expected? Did they arrange people to monitor me?"

At the same time, the driver got out of the driver's seat, walked to Lin Yuan, opened the back door, and said to Lin Yuan respectfully: "Mr. Lin Yuan, you have been waiting for a long time. Please get in the car. I will take you to the master."

After taking a look at the driver, who was very polite, Lin Yuan responded with a polite "thank you" and sat directly in the back seat.

After seeing Lin Yuan get in the car, the driver closed the door, returned to the driver's seat and drove the black car.

The driver's driving skills were very skilled. He maintained a considerable speed while driving very steadily. At least Lin Yuan felt very comfortable sitting there.

In this way, the car went directly to the streets and the city, and then after about half an hour's drive, it arrived at a manor in the suburbs. The gate was opened before the car arrived, allowing the car to drive directly in.

Looking at the large green plants and various flowers in the garden outside the window, as well as the five-story villa, there is no doubt that the person invited is either rich or noble.

As soon as the car stopped at the entrance of the villa, a servant who had been waiting for a long time came forward to open the door and said to Lin Yuan: "Mr. Lin Yuan, right? The master has been waiting for you for a long time. Please get out of the car."

Lin Yuan didn't hesitate to get out of the car and walked into the villa led by his servants.

Just like its exterior, the interior of the villa is equally magnificent, with various works of art neatly arranged in a unique form, showing the wealth of the owner.

It was obvious that this was a show of force. Most people, seeing this formation for the first time, would probably have already felt defeated before even seeing the real owner. But for the experienced Lin Yuan, this was still a little short.

At this time, a voice full of pride sounded.

"Welcome, Mr. Lin Yuan. Although our methods are a bit indecent, you shouldn't mind, right? Hahahaha..."
