Genius Club-Chapter 267 - 77 Falling Towards VV_2

Officer Liu blinked his eyes.

He walked over.

Looking at Lin Xian, who was deep in thought with his head bowed:

"Lin Xian, what’s wrong with you? Why do you seem so out of spirits?"

Lin Xian lifted his head and shook it:

"Perhaps... I’ve just been too tired lately."

Officer Liu patted Lin Xian’s shoulder seriously:

"You really look pale, you weren’t like this last night... Maybe the bloody scene was too much for you? You should go home and rest."

Lin Xian nodded, grabbed his brown notebook, left the Donghai City Public Security Bureau, and took a taxi to MX Company.

He didn’t go home.

Because he had just received a message from the company’s reception, saying a lawyer from Mi Country was looking for him.

A lawyer from Mi Country?

What did they want?

Lin Xian arrived at his 20th-floor office and sat down, then had the reception bring the waiting Mi Country lawyer from the VIP room to his office for a meeting.

"Hello, Mr. Lin."

After the lawyer came in, he had a pure China face; he either had Chinese heritage or worked in Mi Country.

While shaking hands with Lin Xian, he introduced himself:

"My surname is Wang, and I run a private law firm in Mi Country, serving some successful individuals. I am here today... as Mr. Ji Lin’s lawyer."

"What is it?"

Lin Xian answered listlessly:

"Are you going to sue me?"

"No, no, no... You misunderstand."

Lawyer Wang hurriedly explained:

"The day before yesterday, Mr. Ji Lin called me about making a will. He stated that should he die for any reason, all his assets would be inherited by you."

"What?"

Lin Xian felt like he had misheard.

He lifted his head from the chair:

"Ji Lin is leaving his estate to me?"

He laughed, finding it absurd:

"Why me? I don’t want his money, do you know what crimes he committed? Do you know what his legal status is right now?"

Lawyer Wang smiled:

"Mr. Lin, please allow me to explain first."

"I am fully aware of Mr. Ji Lin’s situation, but these assets are his legal earnings and not illicit gains, these properties remain legally protected even if Mr. Ji Lin were to be convicted of murder... Besides, most of Mr. Ji Lin’s assets are in Mi Country, and such arrangements for a will comply with the related laws."

"Mr. Ji Lin has arranged his assets quite complexly, including real estate, copyrights, stocks, bonds, film royalties, etc... All these assets are in Mi Country, and it would be extremely troublesome to deal with them cross-nationally, hence I hope you, Mr. Lin, can spare some time to come to Mi Country, where we can handle things more simply."

"Also... regarding cash deposits, in this envelope, there is a check from Citibank for 12 million US dollars and a note written to you by Ji Lin. I personally suggest you spend this 12 million US dollars in Mi Country... Transferring it to China would be very, very complicated—"

"Stop right there." Lin Xian gestured for Lawyer Wang to halt his spiel, impatiently looking at him:

"Lawyer Wang, was I not clear enough? You can handle Ji Lin’s assets however you want, donate them, it’s all the same to me. I won’t take his money, and I don’t need it."

"Mr. Lin."

Lawyer Wang spoke patiently:

"Don’t get agitated just yet, Mr. Lin. I understand it may be hard for you to accept all at once, but Mr. Ji Lin has entrusted all his legacy to you... it indicates that you must have been very close friends, and you should accept his gesture of goodwill."

"Friends?"

Lin Xian leaned back on his executive chair and let out a weary smile:

"[Sorry, I never considered Ji Lin a friend.]"

Emphasizing:

"[Not for a moment.]"

Lawyer Wang was stunned.

After several moments of silence, he placed the white envelope he was holding onto Lin Xian’s desk and also left his business card on top:

"Mr. Lin, please reconsider. Although a 12 million US dollar check may not seem much to you, it is still Ji Lin’s heartfelt sentiment. Moreover... those copyright earnings, dividends, and stocks are worth hundreds of millions of US dollars..."

"Anyway, this is my business card. When you have time, I’m at your service for a meeting."

After that, Lawyer Wang bowed slightly and left Lin Xian’s office.

Lin Xian rubbed his forehead.

He had a headache.

Today, he was really irritable.

He casually picked up Lawyer Wang’s business card and tossed it into the rubbish bin.

Then he picked up the white envelope and pulled out its contents...

The first thing he saw was a Citibank check for 12 million US dollars.

Underneath the check was a handwritten note.

Lin Xian picked up the note and saw Ji Lin’s handwriting—

[I owe you a life, now I’m paying it back.]

"This..."

His fingertips turned pale as he pinched the note.

It was a suicide note.

Ji Lin knew he was going to die!

But the question is, how did he know he was going to die?

How did he know it would be Zhou Duanyun who would kill him rather than him killing Zhou Duanyun?

I owe you a life.

Now I’m paying it back.

Lin Xian read the delicate handwriting, likened to that of a girl’s, once again...

Suddenly.

He figured it out.

Thud.

His left hand holding the note lost its strength and fell onto the desk.

His gaze was fixed straight ahead.

Staring at the office door that the lawyer had closed on his way out.

Perhaps...

It was because he had successfully fooled Ji Xinshui that Lin Xian had become a bit "Arrogant."

Ji Lin.

Such a clever genius.

If Officer Liu could nearly guess his plot... then what about Ji Lin?
