Capítulo 1144: Chapter 910: Information Leak?
If Mu Fan’s eyes were barely calm before, they’re now filled with anger.
Mu Fan was really angry.
Couldn’t he buy a satisfactory first gift for Nuonuo?
If that were the case, wouldn’t he be a failure?
His teeth gently clicked together, a prelude to notifying Black.
Later, he would use Black’s abilities to block the other party’s payment ability.
Once that girl’s payment failed, he would still be the true purchaser.
Eventually, under the pressure of Ying Lin’s gaze, the sales clerk reluctantly took the credit card and said with a guilty expression, “Beautiful lady, we have many beautiful accessories here that can certainly meet your requirements. However… if I may suggest, this necklace has affected your mood. Are you sure you don’t want to reconsider?”
To be able to say this, it was already quite commendable for them.
Ying Lin didn’t answer her but instead glanced at Mu Fan, slightly raising her chin.
Seeing the anger in Mu Fan’s eyes, she inexplicably felt a sense of satisfaction.
This attitude was clearly waiting for Mu Fan to speak; perhaps if he asked, with a humbled attitude, she might change her mind.
Hmm?
The school uniform is from Dingchuan Academy?
But so what about the elites from the Five Great Colleges, she’s even tired of seeing the talents from the Imperial War God Academy.
At this time, Ying Lin’s demeanor portrayed the elegance of a wealthy heiress to the fullest.
Mu Fan still didn’t respond, a look of subtle interest flashed in Ying Lin’s eyes.
To have traveled nearly a hundred light-years, and still find a student from the Five Great Colleges to vent on.
[Ying Lin, your twisted pleasure is getting heavier.]
A little demon in her heart was faintly awakening.
Yet…
In that instant, the agate bracelet on Ying Lin’s wrist trembled very slightly, the vibrations tightly pressed against her skin, with the outsiders not feeling a thing.
However, in Ying Lin’s slightly lowered eyes, a sharp glint flashed at that moment.
Her right hand unconsciously rubbed the bracelet slightly.
An information stream sounded quite discreetly in her ear.
It was a nano-level communicator with signal transmission capabilities.
This level of equipment… The tech value contained in it far surpassed that of an entire floor of this shopping center by several dozen times.
Because it could bypass powerful professional eavesdropping signals and evade device scans, even with the current technology of the Galaxy Federation, it has yet to produce such a tangible item.
Upon hearing that brief voice, Ying Lin’s heart suddenly experienced arrhythmia.
This piece of information was, indeed, too sensitive for her at this moment.
[Her disguised account set on Wuleng Star in the Federation just received a request to inquire about her detailed information.]
It’s important to note that this disguised account didn’t even receive this notification when it passed through interstellar customs on Mu Satellite.
And now, the arrival of this message can only mean one thing.
That is… some secret organization was investigating her personal information.
In her experience of leading the Wutong Guard, it was unlikely a regular police force would conduct such a high level of investigation on an outsider tourist.
[I’ve actually… been suspected.]
When did it start?
Who’s investigating her… or is someone currently tracking her…
A multitude of speculations flashed through the young girl’s mind in an instant.
“Beautiful lady?”
A nervous inquiry jolted Ying Lin back from her thoughts.
It was then that she realized that these people seemed to be waiting for her response, and she had momentarily spaced out.
This made Ying Lin secretly vigilant in her heart.
Black didn’t issue a warning to Mu Fan.
Because the secret waves permeating the Capital Star were too numerous, the encrypted communications between private individuals were far more than a thousand times those on Blue Capital Star, and on the Capital Star, Black couldn’t find a computational presence to comprehend all the signals; it was impossible to commit its limited computing power to this bottomless pit.
By shrinking its proximate electromagnetic force field, Black could sense these faint fluctuations, but such fluctuations were too common on the Capital Star, thus it ultimately didn’t expend much effort to crack them just for fun.
The Capital Star, a piece of fertile land that requires meticulous cultivation, Lord Black already had an initial plan in place and wouldn’t ruin it by frivolous actions.
Now, Mu Fan was quietly waiting for Ying Lin to react, and with Black as his trump card, he didn’t appear overly flustered.
However, he noticed that the lovely girl with four little braids turned around, gazing at him with her expressive eyes filled with doubt.
“Do you really like this necklace?”
“Yes, I have to have it,” Mu Fan nodded, not concealing his thoughts, but this statement made several sales clerks sadly sigh at Mu Fan’s foolishness.
[How foolish!]
This was Ying Lin’s impression of Mu Fan, but she cleared her throat and calmly asked, “Then can you tell me… why you want to buy it?”
Perhaps it was because she saw that Ying Lin wasn’t in a hurry to hand the card to the sales clerk.
“For my girlfriend, I haven’t given her a gift yet.”
“Quite generous, willing to spend 4.75 million to woo a girl.” Ying Lin chuckled lightly.
“That’s all my assets, there’s only 4.75 million in the card.” Mu Fan spread his hands out calmly.
But it made the surrounding sales ladies feel utmost respect, clearly, a man of such sincerity and loyalty was an epitome out of fairy tales for them.
They initially thought this young man was some wealthy family’s young master, rich and dashing.
A slight daze appeared in Ying Lin’s eyes, clearly not expecting such an outcome.
“Your taste isn’t bad, picking out what matched my target among so many items.” The young girl pouted before blinking at Mu Fan, her expression briefly hesitating.
A hint of confusion flickered through Mu Fan’s eyes, “What is it?”
“I’ll compliment you. Sales clerk, wrap the necklace from the #5 crystal box for me.”
Ying Lin gave Mu Fan a glance, handing the card to the sales clerk, bringing her endless joy.
Because the price for the necklace in the #5 crystal box was a staggering 6.6 million star coins!
“I don’t take advantage of others’ misfortunes; earlier, if I seemed a bit harsh, I apologize.” The girl’s voice was quite earnest, and although it was vastly different from the start, in light of the recent dialogue, it appeared incredibly natural now.
“No need to apologize, thank you for your concession. If the price doubled, my money really wouldn’t have been enough.” Mu Fan said with a touched tone.
Ying Lin let out a laugh, her face showing an innocent, pure smile, extending her slender, fair right hand, looking slightly upwards at Mu Fan.
“My name is Ji Ying, from Wuleng Star, currently traveling on the Capital Star.”
“My name is Mu Fan, from Dingchuan Academy on Blue Capital Star, and currently… participating in a competition here.”
Upon hearing Mu Fan’s self-introduction, Ying Lin’s mind quickly recalled the information she possessed.
[He’s actually a competitor in Dingchuan Academy’s exchange competition, an ideal cover.]
With a plan set in mind, Ying Lin felt she didn’t want to linger here any longer; she needed to leave in a seemingly normal manner.
If someone indeed were investigating her identity, and she left in a rush post-purchase, the suspicion rating would undoubtedly escalate continuously.
With her extensive management experience with the Royal Intelligence Bureau, Ying Lin analyzed the current situation quite accurately.
The enemy is hidden while I’m exposed, so I must quickly change perspectives.
“For my earlier recklessness, I formally apologize to you.”
The girl bowed respectfully.
