Hanging up the phone, Lin Jingchen fell into deep thought.
Ji Lingfeng: "Did you agree to his request?"
"He already doesn't trust me. If I don't agree, he'll be even more suspicious."
"But didn't Qi say that you shouldn't get close to Qin Chuan anymore? This time you managed to get away by pretending to faint, but next time might not be so lucky."
"I think Qin Chuan is setting a trap for me, but aren't you curious about what he's planning?"
Ji Lingfeng sighed deeply and also fell silent.
After a long pause: "I'm curious too, but this is too risky."
"If it were you, what would you do?"
"Of course, I'd agree and take the opportunity to disrupt his plans. How could I let such a good chance slip by!"
Lin Jingchen gave a light smile, "Looks like we're the same kind of person."
