Elizabeth sat down next to Lin Chen, who then picked up the wine bottle and poured some wine.
Lin Chen poured the red wine from Elizabeth's hand: "You can take off your black veil, there's no one else here!"
Elizabeth hesitated for two seconds before finally reaching behind her ear and removing the black veil covering her face.
Lin Chen saw clearly that exquisite face, which looked like the most delicate work of a sculptor!
"You must be very tired!" Lin Chen said softly.
Elizabeth looked at Lin Chen with surprise: "What do you mean, 'tired'?"
“Of course, it’s about maintaining your persona!” Lin Chen said. “The Laurent family doesn’t need girls in their twenties; they need someone with authority and dignity. You have to maintain your status as the head of the family at all times!”
Elizabeth's heart stirred, as if a long-forgotten string had been vibrated, and dust began to rise.
She remained silent, which was tantamount to acknowledging Lin Chen's words.
Lin Chen smiled: "But it doesn't matter now. It's just the two of us here. You're in your twenties, and so am I. We're both at the best age in the world. Now that you've taken off your black veil, take this opportunity to be a girl in your twenties again!"
Elizabeth's eyes softened; Lin Chen's words relieved her fatigue.
She was studying her favorite major and enjoying her life when the plane carrying her to become the head of the family crashed.
She was dragged out of university to take over the vast Laurent family business.
From then on, she always had to wear mature clothes and dress like a thirty-year-old noblewoman, transforming herself from the outside in into a qualified head of the family.
But this wasn't what she wanted; Lin Chen's words were like a key that unlocked her heart.
Lin Chen raised his glass: "Come on, my friend, let's drink to our youth!"
Elizabeth gazed into Lin Chen's eyes, her gaze as shimmering as red wine.
She also raised her glass to Lin Chen: "To the young mountains!"
71: A malicious investigation team! A grand welcoming ceremony for the young girl!
The Maserati was speeding along the interstate highway, with Angers driving and Lin Chen sitting in the passenger seat.
Angers was clearly in a good mood. He opened the car window, and as the car sped along, the wind rushed in like a flood.
Most people would find it difficult to breathe under such conditions, but Angers is not tired of it!
He opened both windows and sang loudly into the wind.
It was an old Western song, with a style reminiscent of Jord.
Lin Chen didn't know much about the song, but he could tell that Angers actually had some singing talent.
When the song ended, Angers slowly rolled up the car window.
The car windows isolated the enormous noise, and the car became quiet.
Angers, completely disregarding the fact that the car was already traveling at 200 km/h, gripped the steering wheel with one hand and pulled a cigar from his pocket with the other.
"Want one?" he asked Lin Chen.
Lin Chen shook his head: "I won't smoke this!"
“That’s good!” Angzhe nodded. “It’s best not to get involved with this stuff when you’re young. Even for mixed-race people, the toxins in cigarettes accumulate and can’t be eliminated!”
"Then why are you still smoking?"
Angers lit a cigar: "Cigars don't bring me satisfaction. I only smoke one when I'm in a certain mood, like when I'm pondering, feeling lonely, or feeling relaxed like I am right now!"
"I understand," Lin Chen said. "You're not smoking a cigar, you're smoking loneliness!"
Angers was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter: "The language of the Chinese is truly profound; they can always express the most insightful and interesting things in the simplest language."
Lin Chen smiled but didn't say anything.
Angers exhaled a smoke ring and continued driving: "I hope my rush to get you back to school didn't interrupt your good time."
Angers was referring to the situation that had just occurred in the lounge.
Lin Chen and Elizabeth had a pleasant conversation, and Angers wisely left, giving the two enough time and space!
“That’s true.” Ang Zhe nodded. “I was away from the room for two hours. Two hours is plenty of time for you to do a lot of things!”
Lin Chen glanced at Angers with some surprise: "It's hard to imagine that such words could come from your mouth, Principal. Such lines should belong to the Vice Principal!"
“You mean the Night’s Watch? He’s definitely a scoundrel,” Angers replied. “But I’m a normal person too. When I was young, I studied at Cambridge University, and I was surrounded by many outstanding girls. Everyone only focused on my dragon-slaying career and never thought that I used to be a heartthrob!”
Lin Chen strongly agreed with this point.
Even now, Principal Angers remains an elegant old gentleman who attracts attention wherever he goes. Whether it's wealthy women, socialites, or even female students from the academy, they are all irresistibly drawn to Angers' charisma.
Angers shrugged and continued, "So I don't need to think to know what you and Elizabeth were doing in the lounge! That's why I waited two hours before knocking on the door!"
Lin Chen said, "Principal, your timing is quite precise!"
“The physiques of S-class hybrids are all similar. I also had a physique like yours when I was young, so I guess it will take you about two hours!”
"It seems the principal was quite the dashing young man!"
“But for a dragon-slaying career, not having offspring is a regret!” Angers said. “Elizabeth is also an excellent hybrid. If you can have offspring, then it will be a contribution to the great cause of dragon slaying!”
Lin Chen sighed, "So, Principal, I really have to thank you!"
"You're welcome. You've helped me a lot today!"
"Did I help you?"
“That’s right!” Angers said. “I admit I enjoyed watching you slap the Gattuso family in the face!”
Lin Chen understood what Angers meant.
"The Gattuso family has always held an important position in the history of the Secret Service, but everyone in this family is sick. They are all arrogant and proud, but in my opinion, they are quite deserving of a beating. You can see this from Frost and Caesar just now!"
Lin Chen nodded: "I also think it's pretty deserving of a beating!"
"The board meeting just now exceeded my expectations. Frost used the rules to restrain me. If he were a dragon, I would have already plunged a folding knife into his heart. But unfortunately, he represents the board of directors of Kassel College!"
"I must say I was in a very passive position just now. I was forced to bow my head before the acting head of the Gattuso family, but you stopped it all!"
"You summoned the mysterious school board member, turned the tide of the battle, and slapped Frost across the face from afar!"
"At that moment, I knew you were one of the most outstanding students in the history of Kassel College!"
"Congratulations in advance! You will receive my full Principal's Scholarship at the end of the semester!"
Lin Chen smiled and said, "Principal, you flatter me!"
The Chancellor's Scholarship is a great honor at Kassel College, not so much for the amount of tens of thousands of dollars, but for the prestige it represents.
All students are proud to receive the Principal's Scholarship!
Angers puffed on his cigar, thought for a moment, and then said, "But there's still a small problem!"
"You mean the Gattuso family will conduct an internal investigation into me?"
"Although you won big at the board hearing, according to the rules of the board, the Gattuso family will send an investigation team to assist the college in investigating you!"
"It's alright," Lin Chen said. "At least they didn't send me to the Gattuso family for investigation. If that happened, I really wouldn't be coming back!"
Ang Zhe nodded: "The academy is in charge of this investigation. The investigation team can't cause any major trouble, but it's still easy for them to make things difficult for you!"
"They'd better have that ability!"
“It’s good that you have this mindset!” Angers said. “But the Gattuso family is a tough nut to crack. Once their investigation team enters the academy, your troubles will come one after another!”
A smile played on Lin Chen's lips: "So, they're planning to make their move on me after I enroll?"
"Have you figured out what to do?"
“Kassel College has never been the domain of the board of directors. Within the college grounds, the students are the masters,” Lin Chen said. “They’re waiting to come to the school to deal with me, so I’ll just wait for them outside!”
……
Train CC1000 shuttles through the mountains and forests, heading towards the Kassel College deep in the mountains!
This is a specially assigned train, carrying a high-profile investigation team.
The Gattuso family was very efficient; they couldn't wait to send the investigation team to the Academy.
Inside the luxurious carriage sat a man with a solemn expression; he was Andrew Gattuso, the head of the investigation team.
He received instructions from his family to come to the academy to deal with a student named Lin Chen, under the guise of an investigation team.
At this moment, Andrew was holding a document containing information about Lin Chen.
The blond youth across from them slowly walked over and placed another document on the table.
"Commander, this is the detailed information about the Odin incident, written by Lin Chen, one of the parties involved. The acting patriarch's idea is that we can make a fuss about this."
“Yes, Secretary Percy.” Andrew took the documents. “I am flattered that the Frost family head would send his secretary to be my deputy!”
Percy shook his head: "No, you're wrong. I'm not the secretary of the Frost family head, I'm the secretary of the Gattuso family!"
He looked up and stared directly into Andrew's eyes, which were completely different colors.
One eye is golden, representing a hybrid race, while the other is a captivating ice blue.
This is a mutation caused by the excessive purity of dragon blood. In the Gattuso family, his bloodline even surpasses that of Caesar!
This young man in his twenties usually appears as the family secretary! But within the Gattuso family, his nickname is War Machine!
