Chapter 233
It was past four in the afternoon when Lin Huang left the Union Government building . He did not expect time to past so fast as he was focused on investigating the dead bodies . He rode the Viridian Wolf back to the hotel . As he entered the hotel, he ran towards the elevator which was closing and held the doors open using his hand . Lin Huang was stunned when he saw the couple in the elevator . The lady was one in the pink bathrobe in the room of the other hotel where he and Mr . Fu were transported to that morning .
Now that they were standing closer to each other, Lin Huang was surprised to find that the lady was a gold level rank-3 . The tall man beside him was of the same level too . After hesitating for a heartbeat, Lin Huang decided to enter the elevator anyway . He realized that the lady did not recognize him as he had changed his features earlier . There were three of them in the elevator and coincidentally, they were going to the same floor, level 76 .
Lin Huang thought it was awkward but fortunately, his back was facing them so he could not see their facial expressions . Soon they arrived at level 76 . As Lin Huang walked out, the couple followed too . Lin Huang was staying in Room 28 while the duo was in Room 26 and Room 27 respectively, just next to him . Lin Huang figured that the lady had probably transferred to this hotel instead due to the morning's incident .
Although it was awkward, Lin Huang did not plan to change his stay in this hotel as it was unnecessary . Since the lady did not recognize him anyway, he could just pretend that it never happened . He then called Liang Yin’s senior to whom she had given the contact details earlier . Within two rings, the phone was picked up .
"Hello, who are you looking for?" It was the voice of a young man .
"Hi, are you Liang Yin’s senior, Han Ji?"
"Who are you?" the man asked guardedly .
"My name is Ye Xiu, I am an investigator from the Hunter Association . I have been investigating on a case that involves the Brain Eater and I got your contact details from Liang Yin . She told me that you are a major in monsters, a professional in this field," Lin Huang explained .
The man was silent for a moment before he started speaking, "I am Han Ji, is Xiao Yin . . . alright?"
Hearing his tone of voice, Lin Huang could tell that there was something between them .
"Erm…from the way she ate her snacks, she seemed great . We’re not close, it was our first time meeting this afternoon . " Lin Huang did not know how to answer that question, so he answered honestly .
"She must still be a huge fan of heavy food, am I right?" Han Ji asked .
"I suppose red chili lung slices and intestine gravy are considered heavy . " Lin Huang nodded in certainty .
"Oh, I see that she has been eating much lighter food compared to two years ago…" Han Ji chuckled to himself .
What he said puzzled Lin Huang . "If this is considered light, what kind of food did she use to eat?!"
"I still remember she used to love raw heart slices . I enjoyed watching her eating until her face was all bloody . She looked cute like that…" Han Ji indulged himself in the ‘beautiful’ memory of Liang Yin .
"Raw heart slices…Bloody face…Which part of that is cute?! Can you guys eat something normal and have some normal judgment of beauty!?" Lin Huang screamed in his heart .
"I’m sorry, I was distracted . I hope I didn’t scare you," Han Ji said softly .
"It’s alright, let’s talk business . " Lin Huang attempted to get Han Ji back on track .
"You want documents about Brain Eater, am I right? I will send you a copy of my research document later . However, it’s confidential . If not for Xiao Yin, I would not send it to you . Therefore, please do not forward it to anyone else . After you are done with it, delete it right away, don’t keep it anywhere," Han Ji warned Lin Huang .
"I understand . I’m only using it for the case and I will destroy it after using it . Don’t worry," Lin Huang promised .
"Oh yeah, would you know what is Xiao Yin’s current favorite thing?" Han Ji deviated from the topic again .
"I’m not sure, how would I know that? I just met her this afternoon…" Lin Huang said and then he recalled something .
"Wait, I think she likes Sword Genius . I saw her watching videos of him when I entered her office . "
"What is this Sword Genius?" Han Ji was puzzled .
"He’s a participant in the Hunter Arena . " Lin Huang understood that researchers like Han Ji did not keep himself updated with the Hunter Arena .
"Alright then, I’ll look into it on the network later . " Han Ji seemed to be satisfied with the answer Lin Huang gave .
"If you have any doubts, you can always ask me . As long as I’m not working in the lab, I will try my best to answer you . "
"Thanks in advance then . I shall contact you if I have any questions then . " Lin Huang did not expect that naming a random hobby of Liang Yin's would earn Han Ji’s promise easily .
After they hung up, Han Ji sent the documents over almost immediately . Lin Huang looked at it right away…
The documents were detailed whereby most of the experiments came with many photos and complete lab videos . Lin Huang thought Han Ji was kidding when he said the documents were confidential and that he would only send some ordinary research documents . After flipping through the documents, he was shocked to find that it was indeed some confidential information from the Union Government which was not to revealed to the public . As there were many experiments that included human testing, such experiments were prohibited for the Union Government on the surface as it was inhumane . If the documents were exposed, the Union Government’s name would be affected and it might irk the public .
It was past six in the evening after Lin Huang was done with his preliminary read . He turned his screen off and got ready for dinner downstairs . Just when he opened the door, the lady staying next door came out of the room as well . Lin Huang pretended not to see her and headed straight to the elevator . The lady knocked on the door of Room 26 and called out, "I’m ready, let’s go . "
The door of Room 26 opened and the tall man walked out of the room . After closing the door, the duo headed to the elevator .
Lin Huang had been waiting for the elevator to come and before it did, the duo was standing behind him . As they entered the elevator, the couple ignored him completely while starting to talk to each other .
"What did you from your end?" the lady asked .
"The association has gotten the location of the four men’s Emperor’s Heart Rings when they disappeared as well as their whereabouts during the last few days . They will send it to me soon . How about you?" the man asked .
"I have gotten the history of the phones from the association, but I didn’t find anything odd . " The lady shook her head helplessly .
From their conversation, Lin Huang could tell that they were investigating the same case as he was . Unfortunately, the elevator soon arrived on level one and the duo walked out of the elevator . Lin Huang hesitated and decided not to follow them in the end .
"I shall have dinner first . After that, I’ll get the Hunter Association to get me information about the four men’s Emperor’s Heart Rings and see if there are any clues," He thought to himself . It seemed like there was only one Brain Eater in this city . If the duo managed to kill it, Lin Huang would have to find another way to obtain the Enhanced Intelligence skill for his Demonic Dandelion Vine . Now that there were competitors, Lin Huang could no longer stay calm .
