“We’ve only known each other for three days and you’re already saying that you like me.” Lin Yi smiled.
“Isn’t this kind of love too cheap?”
In Lin Yi’s memory, whether it was Ji Qingyan, Liang Ruoxu, Li Chuhan, or
Wang Ying, none of them had ever said such a thing.
I like you.
I love you.
This was the most direct way to express one’s feelings for someone.
However, at times, it was also the most meaningless expression.
Actions often had more power than words.
Shoko Nakajima suddenly sat up like a frightened deer and quickly said,
“Mr. Lin, I’m not lying to you. I’m telling the truth. 1,1 really like you...”
With that, Shoko Nakajima lowered her head. “But I know that it’s impossible for you to like me. I’m not worthy of you.”
Lin Yi didn’t say anything and just looked at the water in the river.
It was the hardest to accept the grace of a beauty. After a long silence, Lin Yi couldn’t help but repeat the classic scumbag phrase.
“You’re a good person. 1 don’t want to hold you up.”
Shoko Nakajima’s body trembled as tears welled up in her eyes, reflecting the moonlight.
However, her tears did not fall. In the end, they turned into a relieved smile.
“Mr. Lin, don’t lie. I’m a geisha. I’ve drunk with many men. 1 know I’m not clean, but I wanted to voice my thoughts. I’m afraid that after you leave, 1 won’t have the chance to say such things again.”
Shoko Nakajima took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
“Mr. Lin, I’ve prepared a gift for you. 1 hope you can accept it.”
“A gift?”
Lin Yi looked at Shoko Nakajima in surprise. He didn’t expect her to prepare something for him.
Shoko Nakajima took out a red cloth bag from her bosom.
Her slender fingers opened the cloth bag. Inside was a pocket watch inlaid with diamonds.
The style was very extravagant and not suitable for wearing. It was more suitable for collection.
Moreover, it was Patek Philippe and was worth a lot.
“I once had an older sister who really enjoyed watching my performances, and she gave me this watch as a gift. I want to give it to Mr. Lin today as a keepsake.”
Softly, Shoko Nakajima took out the pocket watch and placed it in front of Lin Yi.
The exquisite pocket watch swayed gently in front of Lin Yi.
“His mind is stronger than we thought. He won’t submit so quickly to some sensitive questions.”
“Then try again. Nothing must go wrong in this. You should know what this entails.”
“I know.”
Shoko Nakajima’s expression was serious as she continued to wave the pocket watch in her hand.
Her voice was soft and gentle, like the gentle wind in summer.
“Mr. Lin, please tell me where the black box you got is.”
“Room 2308, Oman Hotel...”
Upon hearing this news, Kenji Takayama became excited. After lying low for so long, he finally found out the whereabouts of the ore.
“You can take care of the rest. 1 have other things to do.”
“Got it, Mr. Takayama.”
After obtaining a definite answer, Kenji Takayama hurriedly left with his men. He did not doubt the authenticity of the answer.
He did not think that the answer he obtained through hypnosis would be wrong.
After Kenji Takayama left, the lake at midnight became quiet again.
Shoko Nakajima held the pocket watch in one hand and patted Lin Yi’s shoulder with the other.
Lin Yi, who had been hypnotized, lost consciousness in an instant. His body leaned against Shoko Nakajima’s body, and faint snores could be heard.
Shoko Nakajima looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she supported Lin Yi and walked toward a theme hotel.
Shoko Nakajima booked a room and placed Lin Yi inside.
Ring ring ring!
At this moment, Lin Yi’s phone rang. It was Liang Jinming.
At first, Shoko Nakajima did not pick it up. After hesitating for a few seconds, she felt that if she did not pick it up, something might happen, so she answered the call.
“Brother Lin, where did you go? You’ve been on the phone for so long. I’m still waiting for you to drink,” Liang Jinming said loudly after the call went through. “Mr. Liang, Mr. Lin drank too much and isn’t feeling well. I’ll bring him to rest first. You guys can continue.”
On the other end of the line, Liang Jinming was stunned for a second before saying,
“Alright, take good care of Brother Lin.”
“Got it. Don’t worry, Mr. Liang.”
With that, Shoko Nakajima hung up the phone and sat quietly in front of Lin Yi.
She looked at his side profile in a daze.
About half an hour later, hurried footsteps came from outside the room.
The wooden screen door was pulled open, revealing Kenji Takayama and his men outside. This surprised Shoko Nakajima.
Under normal circumstances, Mr. Takayama would not come back after getting the black box. Why was he here again?
“Mr. Takayama, is there anything else you need?” Shoko Nakajima asked softly.
“We didn’t find the black box at the Oman Hotel.. There’s something wrong with your hypnosis!”
