Chapter 123 East China Sea 007
Looking at the bunch of crumpled flowers in front of him, Zhao Yingjun blinked, a little caught off guard.

But then...

She laughed softly, her eyes softened instantly, and she took the bouquet that was about to fall apart with both hands:

"It really surprised me."

Zhao Yingjun looked at these broken roses with great interest, and smiled as he lifted and pressed them one by one with his hands, so that all the flowers formed a beautiful solitary shape.

This was a relaxed smile that Lin Xian had never seen before.

She is always so busy,

Always frowning,

Always thinking about this and that.

She's like a robot.

Very organized and never make mistakes.

But at this moment, Zhao Yingjun...

She does have a beautiful smile, like a 24-year-old woman.

Another gust of evening breeze blew by, and the shoulder-length hair swayed the crystal clear blue earrings, reflecting the moonlight, broken like a galaxy of stars.

After admiring it for a while, Zhao Yingjun raised his head and looked at Lin Xian with a smile:

"This might be the most special birthday present I've ever received."

"As long as you don't mind."

Lin Xian smiled:
"It's certainly not as good as what you've received before."

Zhao Yingjun, the daughter of a noble family, is not necessarily less favored at home than Chu Anqing.

The birthday gifts she has received since she was a child must have been so luxurious and valuable that ordinary people could not imagine.

"The gift from the past..."

Zhao Yingjun turned his head, looked at the rippling water surface of the river and the Oriental Pearl Tower swaying in its reflection, and shook his head:

"I really don't have any impression. There are too many."

She blinked and looked away from the water:

"But this bouquet of flowers...I will probably remember it for a long time."

"Let's go."

She turned around gracefully, and her hair formed a semicircle in the air.

Brought by the wind.

It is the unique floral scent of the shampoo.

as well as……

Ta-da-da-da-da, the sound of high heels walking towards the police car.

……

The police quickly found the criminal and the flying shotgun.

This criminal was lucky enough that he wasn't seriously injured after falling from the overpass... But considering his crime today, he won't be released for another decade or eight years.

A special tow truck towed away the smashed and scrapped Bentley Continental GT, and a police car took Zhao Yingjun and Lin Xian back to the bureau to take a statement.

"Why are you two here again?"

When the police officer came in, he was surprised to see the two familiar faces.

Lin Xian raised his head...

It turned out that this police officer was the Officer Liu whom Xu Yun met in the hospital that night.

He was also the one who took the statements of the two people at that time.

"You two... don't you have any special physiques?"

Officer Liu opened his notebook and sat down opposite the two men.

"You mean...Conan's physique?"

"Yes, yes! That seems to be the name." Officer Liu smiled.
"I was just kidding. Don't take it seriously. Just think of it as a way to liven up the atmosphere. As a police officer, I still hope that we meet as little as possible... After all, meeting people of our profession is generally not a good thing."

Officer Liu asked about the details and the two answered truthfully, and the record was completed quickly.

"Row."

Officer Liu closed his notebook and stood up.
"That's all. I've left your contact information. I'll contact you if there's anything further."

"But I advise you to be careful during this period... Don't go to dangerous places. There is a possibility of retaliation, and no one can say for sure. If we find any danger in the follow-up investigation, we will notify you in time."

The two nodded and left the police station.

At the door, Zhao Yingjun's driver had been waiting for a long time in an Alpha commercial vehicle.

"Come up, Lin Xian. I'll take you home first."

"it is good."

……

When I got home, it was almost dawn.

Lin Xian twisted his strained waist, went to the bathroom to take a hot shower, lay on the bed, and looked at the ceiling.

Recalling the scene of driving a Bentley over the viaduct...

At that moment, he really couldn't distinguish between dreams and reality.

Perhaps it is precisely this kind of worry-free and reckless attitude that makes such a crazy car plan successful.

In that situation, any hesitation would result in the car being destroyed and people being killed.

Lin Xian blinked.

The rays of the rising sun penetrated through the gaps in the curtains and cut into the room like a blade...

He recalled the scene when he and Zhao Yingjun were leaning on the railing and chatting.

Do not know why……

At that time, Zhao Yingjun talked to me about her family, her parents, and her original intention of starting a business.

She had indeed never talked about these things in the company. Even the founding members and vice presidents who had followed her all the way knew very little about her situation.

But she only told it to herself.

Is this a kind of trust?

"At least... the relationship has become much closer."

"take it easy."

Turn off the lights and go to sleep.

……

The next day at noon, Lin Xian was awakened by the ringing of his cell phone.

The caller ID showed it was Gao Yang.

"Hello?" Lin Xian answered the phone sleepily.

"East Sea 007!!"

"roll."

"James BangString!!"

"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up..."

"No, no, no! Don't you know you're famous?"

Lin Xian sighed helplessly:
"How could I not know? I saw it this morning..."

When Lin Xian got up to go to the bathroom in the morning, many of his group chats exploded, and several short videos that looked like Hollywood action special effects blockbusters were circulating wildly in various group chats.

Some are surveillance perspectives, some are bird's-eye perspectives from high-rise buildings, and some are upward perspectives from under viaducts.

Although the shooting angles are different, the content of the videos is all the same - a handsome blue Bentley Continental GT convertible sports car flies across the Donghai Suburban Viaduct under the moonlight.

The video with the highest number of likes and the widest distribution was shot under an overpass.

Although the video is still a bit blurry overall, it can be roughly seen that there is a man and a woman sitting in the convertible.
According to the poster, he was taking a picture of the moon for his girlfriend at the time. Because the moon was very round and bright that night, he wanted to take a beautiful picture of his girlfriend with the moon as the background.

By chance, this "famous scene" was created.

Because photos taken with Apple phones have a video playback function of a few seconds, he posted the video directly:

A roaring blue Bentley convertible sports car flew out from the east viaduct like a beast! It soared in a parabola in the sky!
The full moon in the night sky just happened to be a beautiful backdrop. Reflected behind the man and woman in the sports car, it was as spectacular as a movie poster, as romantic as a fairy tale, and as exciting as a famous scene in anime.

The following comments are also full of jokes:
"Oh my god! 007 appears in Donghai City! James Bond has arrived!"

"The best film of the year, Oscar winner, 'Flying Over the East China Sea'."

"Is this the genuine version of 'Rampage'? What about the fishmonger that was just released yesterday?"

“The East China Sea has its own Hollywood!”

"Hiss... What on earth are this couple doing? Risking their lives to pick up girls? Did she finally confess?"

"Is this how you can play with a 700 million Bentley Continental GT and a W12 beast engine?"

With various factors fueling the trend, the code name Donghai 007 has become completely popular.

Fortunately, it was night time and the various videos were not clear enough to see who was in the car.

But... for those who know Lin Xian and this car, it definitely cannot be hidden.

In Gao Yang's words:

"We've known each other for so long. I can recognize you even if you turned into ashes! Even if you were blurred, I could still recognize you through those blocks of color with my eyes narrowed!"

"I'm hanging up if there's nothing else."

"Yes, yes! I want to ask you about going home for the New Year."

On the other end of the phone, Gao Yang stopped joking and said seriously:
"You can go back alone for the New Year this year. I won't go with you."

"what happened?"

"Something happened in my hometown. An uncle passed away yesterday, so I have to go back today... I just took a year off until the Spring Festival, and came back on the seventh day of the first lunar month when the class started."

"Then your vacation is indeed quite long..."

Lin Xian yawned but didn't care.

Donghai and their hometown, Hangzhou, are not far away.

Since Gao Yang has something to do at home, he should just go back first. There is no need for the two of them to stay together.

"Then you go back first. I have to go to the company this afternoon, so I won't send you off."

"Well, don't forget the class reunion! The class reunion on the fifth day of the new year!"

Gao Yang reminded with a smile:

"You don't know... A lot of the female classmates I contacted asked me about your current situation! They also asked me if you have a girlfriend!"

"Hey, hey, take it easy at the class reunion!"

After saying that, Gao Yang hung up the phone.

Lin Xian looked at the calendar.

2023 1 Month 15 Day.

The twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month.

There are still six or seven days before the Chinese New Year, so Gao Yang went back really early.

The high school reunion is on the fifth day of the first lunar month.

It's still very early.

Ding dong.

As soon as I put down my phone, WeChat rang again.

When I picked it up, it turned out to be a message from Chu Anqing.

Chu Anqing: [Video]

Chu Anqing: Senior Lin Xian! This is you and Sister Zhao Yingjun, right? I’ve seen Sister Zhao Yingjun driving that blue car!

Lin Xian didn't even need to click on this video... He had seen the cover of Moonlight, Bentley, and Viaduct countless times.

He typed and explained the situation to Chu Anqing.

Chu Anqing was shocked:

"This... this is more exciting than filming a movie. No wonder everyone says you are the 007 of the East China Sea! By the way, are you a good driver, senior?"

"A little bit."

"Hahaha! Can you take me to experience it later?"

"Then we need to ask the Bentley if it agrees."

"What does Bentley say?"

"Bentley is dead."

"..."

After finishing chatting with this little funny guy, Lin Xian packed up and went to work.

The company was in an uproar, with everyone discussing "East China Sea 007" and "Flying Over the East China Sea".

They had all seen this car in the underground parking lot, so they naturally guessed that Zhao Yingjun and Lin Xian were in the car.

So as soon as Lin Xian walked in, he felt that everyone was looking at him strangely, with evil smiles on their faces.

"what happened?"

Lin Xian felt a little uncomfortable being stared at in this way.

"Niubi."

Brother Wang from the marketing team came over and patted Lin Xian on the shoulder, his face full of admiration:
"You're really awesome! Mr. Zhao has never been late for work in all these years... but today you made him absent."

"What do you mean you were absent from work because of me? I'm also a victim, okay..."

Yesterday, the gangster poked Lin Xian several times with the gun barrel, and his scalp still hurts a little now.

"Boss Zhao has gone to the hospital." Sister Juan, the head of the design team, smiled as she passed by and said to Lin Xian:

"Her leg was slightly injured, but nothing serious. She will probably come to work in the afternoon."

"Oh."

Lin Xian nodded:
"I guess it was a collision."

"Did you bump into him?" Brother Wang leaned over.

"It was hit by a car..." Lin Xian was speechless:

"No, Brother Wang, why do all the words taste so different when they come out of your mouth?"

"The situation was too dangerous at the time. I lost my mind and couldn't stop the car. I didn't really think about flying over the viaduct at first. This is not a game..."

Brother Wang laughed and put his arm around Lin Xian. He pulled him to the corner of the hall and whispered:

"You kid... I have been following Ms. Zhao since she started her business. Don't I know what kind of person she is? Let me tell you, in all this time, Ms. Zhao has never gone out alone with any man! You are the first and only one!"

“Isn’t the driver a human being?”

"The driver is the driver, and you are you. Hey, why don't you get it? You don't think I want to say that Mr. Zhao is in love with you!"

"Then what exactly do you want to say?"

"Ms. Zhao trusts you very much! This is rare!" Brother Wang came over with a serious expression:
"I have good news for you."

"what?"

"This morning, when I went to the hospital to visit Ms. Zhao, she said that the company has more business now, and she is really too busy to handle the affairs normally. She is considering whether to promote a secretary!"

Brother Wang chuckled and patted Lin Xian on the back:
"She likes you very much!"
