Chapter 356 See You in the Future
"Yu Xi, just wait for me at the stairs. I feel more at ease at this distance."

"Even if Jask and the others go upstairs, they will take the elevator and will not pass by this staircase."

After thinking it over and over again, Lin Xian found a balance between the two options of "not leaving Yu Xi" and "not letting Yu Xi be exposed in front of Jask".

After placing Yu Xi at the staircase on the 17th floor of the inpatient department, he walked towards Zheng Xiangyue's ward.

There were two people standing outside the ward.

They are the official from Donghai and the head nurse.

They did not go in to disturb the conversation between Jask and Zheng Xiangyue. This was also what Jask had instructed at the beginning.

Jask said he wanted to chat with Zheng Xiangyue in a relaxed state, just a private chat, without being so restrained.

Lin Xian didn't get too close, just stood quietly outside the door.

Soon, Jask, who kept looking back, noticed Lin Xian. He immediately got up from Zheng Xiangyue's ward and walked out.

"Lin Xian is my friend."

Jask pointed at Lin Xian and smiled at the official from the East China Sea who accompanied him:

"Let's go over there and talk for a few minutes. It won't affect the rest of the trip."

"It's okay, please do it."

Subsequently.

Jaske straightened his suit, walked towards Lin Xian, and took the initiative to extend his right hand:

"Lin Xian, long time no see, let's shake hands."

"Where's Angelica?"

Lin Xian did not reach out and went straight to the point:

"Where is Angelica? What did you do to her?"

Jask bowed his head.

Hehe smiled.

He shook his head again:

"Lin Xian, if you want to find Angelica, then it seems you have come to the wrong place. Angelica is not here with me."

"It's true that she was once under my control, and I took good care of her... Unfortunately, she still ran away from me and stole some things."

"I'd rather ask you, do you know where Angelica is? If you know, please tell me. After all, if you steal my things, you have to return them to me, right?"

Lin Xian snorted softly.

He didn't believe Jask's nonsense at all.

Angelica lost contact at the rocket launch center in Jask. There was no sign of any activity in the outside world and no contact with me for so many days.

It was obvious that Jask was lying.

He let out a long breath and looked into Jask's eyes:

"So there's nothing to talk about?"

Jask also stopped smiling.

He looked at Lin Xian seriously:

"I guess you won't believe me no matter what I say now, right? Lin Xian, I think there must be some misunderstandings between us. I can even say... it's a deep misunderstanding."

"But now that things have come to this, if you ask me what evidence I can produce to prove that these things are just a misunderstanding, I really can't do it."

"But I believe that if we can all be sincere, put aside our prejudices, and have a good talk, we should be able to resolve these misunderstandings."

"It's definitely not the right place right now. Besides, I do have something I want to show you, and the hospital isn't the right place for me to show it. So...how about we change the time and place and have a good chat?"

He smiled, stood up with his hands behind his back:
"In Lingang New Area, about two kilometers north of the Tesla Gigafactory, there is an abandoned factory building. Although there are a lot of building stones and garbage piled up inside, the space is large and quiet enough without being disturbed, which is suitable for us to have a good chat there."

"How about tonight at 8 o'clock without further ado? I won't be late this time... At 8 o'clock in the evening, we will meet at the abandoned factory on time. I will come to see you with enough sincerity, without any bodyguards or anyone else, just myself, to see you."

Say it.

He waved his hand and said goodbye to Lin Xian:

"See you tonight, Lin Xian. See you there."

Turn around.

Jask laughed and pulled the arm of the East China Sea official, and they entered the elevator together, closed the door, and went downstairs to leave.

……

This time we meet.

It was much shorter than Lin Xian expected.

But what can be done?

Since the other party does not admit that Angelica is in his hands, there is naturally nothing worth talking about.

I just didn’t expect that…

Jask actually made an appointment with me to meet at 8 o'clock in the evening in an abandoned factory in a remote suburb.

He said he wanted to meet alone and came alone.

Is it credible?
Lin Xian wouldn't be so foolish as to believe it.

Now that I'm here, I've been busy going to heaven, running around, and escaping for my life. I haven't visited Zheng Xiangyue for a long time.

So take this opportunity to go and visit.

He walked to the front of the ward, knocked softly on the open door, and looked into the eyes of Zheng Xiangyue who was holding the urn.

"Brother Lin Xian!"

Zheng Xiangyue tilted her head and smiled, her long black hair cascading down like a waterfall.

She replaced her brother's urn on the bedside table.

Then he trotted over and took Lin Xian's hand:
"Brother Lin Xian! Do you know who came just now? Jask is here! It's Jask who sells moon travel tickets! He told me everything! He said that you gave me that ticket! For such a long time... why didn't you tell me that you bought it!"

Lin Xian smiled slightly.

I walked into the ward with Zheng Xiangyue and listened to her chattering about what happened when Jask came here just now.

"Since you already know everything, I won't hide it from you."

Lin Xian said truthfully:

"Strictly speaking, it's true that I bought the boat ticket, but the money for the ticket was paid by another friend of your brother, which was his inheritance. He knew your dream and the story between you and your brother, so... before he died, he did a good thing and made your dream come true."

"Ah, that's it."

Zheng Xiangyue scratched his head as he listened to this complicated story:

"He is... a really good person, a kind person."

"In the next life."

Lin Xian smiled:
"Maybe you'll be a good person in your next life. As long as I fulfill your dream of going to the moon, it can be considered as accumulating some virtue."

Zheng Xiangyue pursed her lips, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

finally.

Looked up.

Looking at Lin Xian seriously:

"Brother Lin Xian, didn't you ask me before if I was willing to hibernate with Xu Yiyi?"

Lin Xian nodded:
"Have you thought it through now?"

in fact.

Long before Xu Yiyi's attending physician said that Yiyi's body could not bear it anymore, Zheng Xiangyue's attending physician had talked to Lin Xian twice.

The attending physician said:
"I know that you are taking care of Zheng Xiangyue and Xu Yiyi, so I will tell you their true situation directly."

"Mr. Lin, don't think that Zheng Xiangyue can really hold on just because she looks much better than Xu Yiyi... In fact, that's not the case. From our medical professional perspective, Zheng Xiangyue's condition is actually much more dangerous than Xu Yiyi's."

"Xu Yiyi's condition is at least stable. We can monitor her physical changes and take preventive measures in advance, and we can also infer the deterioration trend in the future. But Zheng Xiangyue is different... If her heart disease attacks, it will be fatal."

"Zheng Xiangyue had suffered several heart attacks before, and she was pulled back from the brink of death every time. She is indeed a very lucky girl, but how long can she be lucky? The heart is a human organ that is different from other things. Sometimes life and death are just a matter of a second, and there is no way to save it."

"So I suggest... you do a good job of convincing Zheng Xiangyue and let her hibernate with Xu Yiyi. We medical professionals are very familiar with the progress of the hibernation chamber. Although the current hibernation chamber is still nominally in the testing stage, the test results can actually be mass-produced and promoted long ago."

"Now, apart from the inevitable side effect of [amnesia], most of the other side effects of hibernation have been basically overcome. Even if there are still some minor side effects, they are very minor and not that serious. They have no impact on Zheng Xiangyue or Xu Yiyi."

"You must make up your mind as soon as possible, Mr. Lin. Zheng Xiangyue's condition cannot wait. No one knows when misfortune will befall this poor little girl."

……

therefore.

When taking Xu Yiyi to the Dragon Science Institute for hibernation, Lin Xian naturally also tried to persuade Zheng Xiangyue for a long time.

But Zheng Xiangyue still insisted on refusing.

She was afraid she would miss the trip to the moon.

Even she herself did not quite believe that the ticket to the moon was real, but...what if? What if a miracle really happened?

If I really had a ticket, it wasn't a white lie, but I missed it because I was sleeping in the hibernation cabin...

She will really regret it for the rest of her life!
But it's different now.

Jask's promise just now dispelled her last concerns.

She is now...

I have indeed thought it through.

"Yes, Brother Lin Xian, I have made up my mind."

Zheng Xiangyue nodded seriously to Lin Xian:

"Uncle Jask has already promised me that I can cash in my moon travel ticket at any time, even if it's decades or hundreds of years later, or even if I lose the ticket!"

"Then I can hibernate without any worries... I also want to have a healthy body, so I can stand on the moon alive and bury my brother's urn there."

"Of course that's no problem."

Lin Xian smiled:
"You are willing to hibernate, which is a result that many people hope to see. Moreover, this is indeed the best treatment option for you. Don't worry, Xiangyue. Human technology and medicine are developing very quickly. It is estimated that in a few years, or even less than 20 years, congenital heart disease and spacecraft to the moon will be solved."

"I will only be 20 years old in 45 years. When you wake up, I may be able to see you get on the spaceship and see you off to the moon."

"hey-hey……"

Seeing Lin Xian's gentle words, Zheng Xiangyue's eyes were filled with tears and her vision was blurred.

She wiped her eyes.

The voice choked and said:

"Thank you so much, Brother Lin Xian... My brother always says that you are all good people and you have helped us a lot. He told me that if I have the chance in the future, I must repay your kindness."

"Although I don't know what I can do in the future, Brother Lin Xian, if I really have the ability when I grow up, I will definitely repay you! Just like you take care of me now... When you are old, I will also take good care of you!"

Hey.

Children really speak without restraint.

Lin Xian took out two tissues from the box next to him and handed them to Zheng Xiangyue.

He discovered it a long time ago.

Although Zheng Xiangyue is not young, she is 15 years old this year.

But because she was trapped in the hospital since she was a child, never went to school, had no contact with the outside world, and had no friends... her mental age was much younger than her actual age.

It's not just her mental age, her body is also underdeveloped, causing her to be more than a head shorter than a normal 15-year-old girl.

So, taking everything into consideration, Zheng Xiangyue looks just like a little girl of eight or nine years old, and she is very pitiful.

"You don't have to think so far ahead, just think of the moon."

Lin Xian comforted her:

"As long as you can take good care of yourself and realize your dream of going to the moon, we will all be happy for you. In fact, my help to you and your sister is very limited, and I don't come to take care of you very often, so... you really don't have to think about repaying me for anything, and don't feel pressured by this idea."

"What's more, if you hibernate for a long time, the side effect of [Amnesia] will make you forget everything, and you will naturally forget me. But I think forgetting is also good. A new environment, a new era, and starting over from scratch is also a good thing."

Hear Lin Xian’s reminder.

Zheng Xiangyue suddenly remembered that hibernation does have the side effect of amnesia! If Lin Xian hadn't suddenly mentioned it, she would have really forgotten it!
"That...that won't work, Brother Lin Xian."

Zheng Xiangyue waved her hand firmly:

"My brother has repeatedly taught me that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of water, and people must never forget to repay a favor. But... what about the side effects of amnesia? What if I wake up and forget everything... forget about burying my brother on the moon, forget about you, Brother Lin Xian... that would be terrible."

Suddenly, she had an idea.

Got it!

Wouldn't it be better to record all these important matters in a notebook?

When you wake up one day, wouldn't it be nice if you could just complete each task one by one according to the descriptions in your notebook?
She climbed onto the bed, opened the drawer of the other bedside table, and took out a pink notebook and a cute-shaped pen.

Turn to a blank page.

Zheng Xiangyue wrote on it:

《Things you must do after waking up from hibernation! 》

1. Bury your brother on the moon.

2. Repay Brother Lin Xian well.

Finished.

She held the notebook in front of Lin Xian and said with a smile:

"Brother Lin Xian, look, this way I won't forget you! When I wake up from the hibernation cabin, I'll remember these words immediately!"

Ha ha.

Lin Xian chuckled, touched Zheng Xiangyue's head, and didn't say much.

If only it were that simple...

At the social level now, people are not so worried about memory loss and memory fraud after hibernation.

Not to mention.

Zheng Xiangyue wrote these two things so simply and in just a few words. Even if she was willing to believe the notes she wrote after waking up, could she really understand them?

The second one is understandable.

But this first one... looks so confusing. Without the context, it is absolutely incomprehensible.

However, Lin Xian didn't plan to tell Zheng Xiangyue about this.

Let her hibernate happily without any worries.

This should also be what Zheng Chenghe most wants to see.

Zheng Xiangyue's health and good life are more important than anything else.

As for forgetting Lin Xian? Or even forgetting Zheng Chenghe?
Just forget it.

Forget everything and accept a new life.

"You might as well just cross out the second one."

Lin Xian smiled and said:

"Because I'm personally opposed to hibernation chambers, you will most likely not see me in the future. And kindness is something that is selfless and has been passed down selflessly from generation to generation."

"I also received the kindness of many people, which gave me the ability to help you today. But those people who showed me kindness... many of them are no longer with us, and I didn't even have the chance to repay them. So, I will continue to extend this kindness to you."

"Then naturally, Xiangyue, you can continue this kindness in the future--"

“【Be a kind person, be a loving person, lend a helping hand to those in need, and show love to those who desire care.】”

"【If you have the ability, then make great achievements and serve the motherland. If you don't have the ability, then go back to Donghai to build your hometown.】"

"In short, if you can continue to show your kindness and love, that will be the best reward for me, your brother, and all the people who have helped you in this world."

……

Zheng Xiangyue listened to Lin Xian's words.

He nodded heavily.

Then he picked up the pen again and added a new item after the two items "Things you must do after waking up from hibernation!"

3. Be a kind and loving person.

After Lin Xian saw it.

I couldn't help laughing again.

Zheng Xiangyue is indeed a master of brevity and compression. She is really good at extracting the key points and every word counts.

"Then I'll be leaving first. Xiangyue, I'll arrange for your hibernation."

Lin Xian stood up from his chair:
"I'm very familiar with the Dragon Academy of Sciences. I asked them to reserve two places for the hibernation chamber experiment. Xu Yiyi has already gone to sleep in it, and the other one is reserved for you. I'll just contact them."

"For the rest, please follow the attending doctor's instructions."

Subsequently.

Lin Xian left Zheng Xiangyue's ward and called Longke Hospital. There was no problem. Dean Gao Yan said that Tunghai University Affiliated Hospital could send Zheng Xiangyue to the hospital at any time.

Then, Lin Xian met Zheng Xiangyue's attending physician again.

The doctor said:
"That's great. In fact, Xiangyue had another heart attack a few days ago, but I didn't get in touch with you. Your phone was turned off. I was just thinking about finding a chance to have a good chat with you."

"Since there is no problem with the Dragon Science Institute receiving Zheng Xiangyue, let's set off as soon as possible. My suggestion is not to wait a moment, and set off immediately after getting ready. For safety reasons, we will not use high-speed trains or airplanes as transportation. We will send a professional ambulance to transport Zheng Xiangyue."

"Don't worry. There are a lot of emergency equipment on the ambulance. Even if Zheng Xiangyue has a heart attack on the way to the capital, there will be time to rescue her. What's more... this is the advantage of the ambulance. If something really happens that cannot be handled, you can rush to a nearby hospital to use ECMO equipment as soon as possible. It is much safer than high-speed trains and airplanes that cannot turn around halfway."

Lin Xian nodded:
"Okay, doctor. I'll leave Zheng Xiangyue in your care from now on."

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin."

The attending doctor smiled:
"We will take care of Zheng Xiangyue on the way to the capital. By the way, you and Zhao Yingjun from MX Company are both people we respect very much in the inpatient department."

"Whether it was Professor Xu Yun's daughter Xu Yiyi or the poor child Zheng Xiangyue, after they became orphans, it was you two who took care of them and paid for their medical expenses."

"I have been in the inpatient department for so many years. I have taken care of both Zheng Xiangyue and Xu Yiyi, and I have some feelings for them. So I am very grateful to you and Zhao Yingjun for taking such good care of these two children."

"You are both very kind-hearted people, and your lives will surely be filled with good fortune."

Lin Xian smiled slightly, stood up, and prepared to leave:

"Thank you for your good words. Now is exactly the time when I need good luck the most."

……

Coming out of the attending physician's office, Lin Xian arrived at the staircase on the 17th floor of the inpatient department.

Yu Xi leaned against the wall, waiting there quietly.

"Is everything okay?" Lin Xian asked.

Yu Xi shook her head:
"No one came here. Only Jask's bodyguards ran up and down twice."

"Didn't find you?"

Yu Xi reached into his pocket and shook his head again:
"No."

after that.

The two took the elevator downstairs, got back into the Volkswagen sedan, and drove back to the hotel.

In the suite, Lin Xian told Yu Xi about the conversation he had just had with Jask.

"This must be Jask's trap."

Yu Xi said:

"It would be fine if we took the initiative to ask him out, but now he took the initiative to ask you to go to such a remote place. No matter how you look at it, it's dangerous."

"He said he was alone, but in fact the abandoned factory building was near his base, the Tesla Gigafactory... Who knows how many people will come?"

"And since he denies that Angelica is with him, there's no need for you to talk to him. No matter what Angelica's condition is, Jask doesn't intend to return her to you... It's even hard to say whether Angelica is alive or dead now."

"I think so"

Lin Xian sat on the sofa in the living room of the suite and looked at his watch:
"No matter how you look at it, this is more like a Hongmen Banquet."

On the electronic smart watch, the current time is 16:32
There were still three and a half hours until the time Jask had agreed to meet him, eight o'clock in the evening.

"Are you sure you want to go?"

Yu Xi shook her head:
"This is really dangerous. I suggest that if we must meet with Jask, we can choose the place and set the time."

"But... I don't think it's too late, because I can feel that the space-time assassin has entered the range of Dragon Country. But her location is still quite far away, and my sensing distance is not very accurate... probably, she should be near Shandong, which is still a long way from Donghai City."

"But no matter what, since the Spacetime Assassin has already entered Dragon Country, it's only a matter of time before she comes to Donghai City. If she really meets up with Jask, we really won't have any chance at all."

"Time is running out, Lin Xian. You must make up your mind as soon as possible. Now, either we take the risk and go meet Jask; or we ignore Jask and find a way to get rid of the time-space assassin; or... leave the East China Sea again, avoid the battle, and wait for a more suitable opportunity."

Lin Xian held his chin, closed his eyes, and sat on the sofa thinking.

He always feels.

Jask's attitude towards himself is really subtle.

You say he is an enemy?

He did not show any intention to kill him, and he did save him from the crash of the space shuttle hijacked by Kevin Walker, and indirectly revealed Kevin Walker's address to him.

So he's not an enemy?

It is obvious that he was lying about Angelica, and he was also the one who killed VV and sent the time-space assassin.

Judging from the current situation.

The time-space assassin will not be able to reach the East China Sea until the early hours of tonight at the earliest; before that, it will be a vacuum period for Jask's killers.

Of course, maybe Jask could directly send a team of killers from this time and space to kill himself.

But if the logic was that simple...

Why doesn't he take action in the United States?
Why not send out a group of assassins directly in the United States?
No matter how you look at it, it is much easier to kill yourself in the United States than in Dragon Country.

After all, I am a public figure in Donghai.

If he really killed himself, Jask would have to bear the consequences, so he would not do such a stupid thing.

Lin Xian still feels as awkward as before.

I always feel...

【Something is wrong.】

"I think I should go."

Lin Xian opened his eyes:

"I always feel that if Jask really wanted to ambush me, there is no need for him to go all the way to the East China Sea to kill me."

"He has countless better options. Now, setting up a trap to kill me in the East China Sea during a time period when the time-space assassin cannot arrive is simply the stupidest method and completely illogical."

"Moreover, if the Spacetime Assassin really wanted to kill me, I don't think I would be alive now, right? Before you failed to protect me, if the Spacetime Assassin had any intention to kill me, I would have been dead."

"Now that I think about it, even though the Spacetime Assassin seems to be very ruthless, she actually has some sense of propriety. For example, when she tore my car door at the beginning, she could have just torn my neck directly. When she hit me with her Mercedes-Benz, she could have hit me harder and turned the car over. Not to mention that she is not restricted by the laws of spacetime and can easily get a gun in the United States, so why did she never use a gun?"

Yu Xi blinked her deep blue eyes:

"She probably didn't use a gun because she was afraid of accidentally hurting other humans in this time and space, right? What if the problem of the failure of the laws of time and space is not with her... but with you? Is there something wrong with you? Is the forced avoidance only effective on you?"

"do not know."

Lin Xian shook his head:
"But I still say that Jask is a smart man. If he wanted to kill me, he would have done it long ago. He wouldn't have to wait until I returned to the East China Sea to kill me. It would be a completely bad move."

"Don't take it for granted, Lin Xian."

Yu Xi walked to the opposite side of the coffee table, put her hands in her pockets and looked at him:
"You are always so indecisive. Why do you put your life in Jask's hands? You can't always trust in the mercy of your enemies, right?"

"If you really want to see Jask tonight, I will naturally protect you and go with you. But I am limited by the laws of time and space. If you are really in danger, I can only take you away and cannot fight back against the humans in this time and space."

"If Jask can lie to you about Angelica, then he can lie to you about anything. Don't trust him too much. So we should be more cautious. If Jask is sincere in talking to you, then you should talk to him properly. If he ambushes you...you should react in time and subdue him."

"After we subdue Jask, we can use him as a hostage. That way, even if there's an ambush outside, we'll at least have bargaining chips."

"subdue?"

Lin Xian raised his head from the sofa and looked at Yu Xi who was standing with his hands in his pockets:
"How are we going to subdue Jask?"

Snapped.

Yu Xi took out a yellow and black object from his right pocket and slapped it directly on the coffee table.

Lin Xian looked down——

[Taser stun gun]!
This is the police weapon he is very familiar with...

Although he has never used it, it has been used countless times.

The instantaneous numbing feeling of electric current still makes my muscles tense when I think about it.

"Where did you get it?"

Lin Xian asked in confusion.

"I stole it from Jask's bodyguard today at the hospital stairs." Yu Xi replied:
"This thing won't kill people, but it will paralyze them, cause them to twitch, fall to the ground unable to move, or become unconscious. It will definitely be no problem to subdue Jask."

"So, just in case..."

Her bright blue pupils stared into Lin Xian's eyes:
"Tonight, let's go to the abandoned factory building and ambush in advance."

"If there's something really wrong... let's strike first!"
