Chapter 45 Skyscraper (13) Good idea
Since everyone else had suggested it, Yan Jinyue couldn't refuse, so the two-person game between her and Chen Xiao turned into a three-person game.

"Although it's a cafeteria, the food is still very good." Lu Xin is Jiang Yu's good friend, and Yan Jinyue is also a hostess, so she covered all the meal expenses with her wealth.

"Mrs. Jiang is generous." Chen Xiao flattered.

Yan Jinyue glared at her in anger and said, "What nonsense are you talking about."

"Okay, let me try it."

Lu Xin nodded, lowered his black eyelashes to block the fleeting darkness, and smiled in response. He lowered his head and ate slowly, with elegant dining etiquette, which was obviously cultivated since childhood.

Yan Jinyue had a sharp eye, especially when it came to men. Among all the chosen ones, she could tell at a glance between the nobles who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths and the upstarts who became rich.

For example, Jiang Yu has a natural sense of dignity in his every move. That must be built up with gold and jade since childhood. It can be cultivated later... but it requires years of accumulation.

Lu Xin was also well-educated and well-mannered. He was born into a wealthy family, but he was dressed rather simply, wearing a simple light-colored T-shirt and washed-out jeans.

He looks young, and compared to Jiang Yu, who is the same age as him, he looks more like a college student who has just graduated.

"I am a student, I guess." Lu Xin smiled, "I am still studying for a doctorate degree at school."

"Wow, that's amazing!"

Yan Jinyue admired sincerely. Although she was more interested in making money and not very interested in academic research, she also had a bit of academic admiration and really admired people who had the perseverance to get a PhD.

"What's your major?" she asked.

“Metallic Materials Engineering.”

"Very impressive." Yan Jinyue's eyes curved, "What exactly are you researching?"

"This major mainly studies metal materials and their composite materials, covering multiple directions such as metallurgy, composite materials, powder metallurgy, and material heat treatment." He explained patiently.

"It sounds complicated." Yan Jinyue nodded, not quite understanding, "Then why did you choose this major? Interest?"

"Actually, it's because of my father." Lu Xin smiled shyly, "He was also a major at that time."

"It is really meaningful for a son to inherit his father's business." Yan Jinyue picked up a piece of beef and stuffed it into her mouth. She squinted her eyes because of the delicious taste. She swallowed it and continued, "Then your father should be very happy."

"Well, maybe." Lu Xin said in a light voice.

Yan Jinyue heard a hint of loneliness in the voice and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Xin glanced at her, straightened his lips, and said hesitantly: "Actually, my father died in an accident five years ago."

Yan Jinyue was stunned, her smile instantly faded, replaced by an apologetic expression, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up your sad story..."

The little girl's almond-shaped eyes were moist, with sincere apology and heartache, and Lu Xin felt his heart was touched, and a sour feeling spread. Only he was reflected in those amber eyes, completely occupied, and a sense of satisfaction arose spontaneously.

He rubbed his fingers calmly, his Adam's apple rolling, and it took great self-control to restrain himself from hugging her in his arms.

Yan Jinyue felt that his eyes were a little strange, but when she continued to explore, she still saw that polite and gentle look.

"It doesn't matter. It happened a long time ago and we should always look forward," he said.

"Yeah." Yan Jinyue smiled again.

After dinner, Yan Jinyue took Lu Xin to find Jiang Yu. They discussed business while she curled up on the sofa and read quietly.

The phone rang, and she took it out to see that it was a message from the player group. Wang Xi said in the group that the players should gather in the tea room again. She replied "got it" and left Jiang Yu's office and rushed over. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Wang Xi and He Yan sitting in chairs in a mess, with thin cuts on their cheeks and exposed skin, as if they were caused by broken glass.

"What's going on?" Yan Jinyue walked over.

Wang Xi glanced at her and sighed:

"Don't mention it. We just found out that the building had replaced its firefighting equipment some time ago. The person in charge was a middle-aged manager named Chen Xianming. We found him, but he turned out to be a ghost and could not be killed. He chased us and ran to a glass compartment. There was an explosion inside. He Yan and I were both injured, but fortunately the explosion was small and we managed to survive."

"So thrilling?" Yan Jinyue exclaimed.

However, when Wang Xi mentioned the middle-aged monster who couldn't be killed, she immediately thought of the one she met outside the archive room that day, and also of the words she overheard.

She spoke out about it.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Gu Silin roared, and walked towards Yan Jinyue aggressively, looking down at her condescendingly: "If you had said it earlier, we wouldn't have to go through all this trouble."

Yan Jinyue was amused by this groundless accusation. "No, I remember mentioning the ghost that day. You laughed at me at that time, saying that it was normal to encounter ghosts in a dungeon, and I was the only one making a fuss."

“I—” Gu Silin choked, snorted and turned his face away, “But you definitely didn’t say you heard them plotting something.”

"It's normal for people to make mistakes." Yan Jinyue sneered, not giving him any leeway, "And I really didn't know the identity of that person at the time, nor did I know what they were talking about."

"Yan Jinyue!" Gu Silin's red hair exploded.

"You know my name is nice, no need to call it." Yan Jinyue rolled her eyes.

As soon as the two met, they were on edge and quarreled endlessly. Wang Xi and He Yan were almost tired of hearing them. They knew that they couldn't stop Gu Silin's temper, but they didn't expect that the seemingly weak little girl was not someone to be trifled with.

The two looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

"Stop arguing." Wang Xi stepped in to mediate, "The most important thing for us now is to find other clues from that supervisor."

As soon as she finished speaking, another voice interrupted: "Chen Xianming is the key clue, but how can we get clues from him? He is a ghost."

Duan Zhixu walked over with a leisurely posture, his glasses reflecting the cold white light, making his appearance even more handsome and cool.

"This is indeed a difficult problem." Wang Xi fell into deep thought. "Direct threats will definitely not work. He Yan and I have tried, and we can't kill him at all. ...It's a pity that if we use roundabout means, he is difficult to approach and we can't get him to talk."

"Just check it out." Gu Silin said coldly, "I don't believe that we can't find out his background."

Duan Zhixu pushed up his glasses, threw a paper bag at him, and smiled: "You can see for yourself."

Gu Silin took it, opened it and saw that it was Chen Xianming's file.

"I checked carefully and there is nothing wrong with him, so I can only check other places." Duan Zhixu said, "But I have a solution."

Gu Silin finished flipping through the files with a frown on his face, then looked up at him: "Don't be so mysterious, just tell me if you have a solution."

Duan Zhixu smiled, his eyes slightly lowered, his smile meaningful.

Yan Jinyue's sixth sense felt something was wrong. Sure enough, he turned to look at her and said:

"This is a good idea that only you can do."
