"How is it possible that Miss Erin is engaged to Mr. Robin, a genius of the Christopher family?"
"This is clearly written on it. If you don't believe it, please read it yourself!"
...
As soon as Jiangxi Lin walked into the main building of the institute, he heard Qiu De and Riley shouting in the assistant-level arcane office.
"Anglia Erin and Christo Robin are engaged?"
Jiangxi Lin also has a very different mindset.
He ran to Chu De and Riley's office in three steps and two steps, and found Chu De holding a newspaper with a shocked face, reading it word by word.
"Mr. Xilin!"
As soon as Riley saw Jiangxi Lin, she immediately stood up and saluted.
"Mr. Xilin."
Qiu De put down the newspaper and said hello.
Jiangxi Lin nodded with a smile and pointed at the newspaper in Qiu De's hand.
"Have you finished reading it? Can you show it to me?"
"I've finished reading it, I'll give it to you."
Qiu De said, and at the same time he quickly handed the newspaper to Jiangxi Lin.
Jiang Xilin took over the newspaper, ignored the reports on the main page about the "Fire Flame 1 Device" and looked directly at the news about Anglia Erin's engagement with Christopher Robin.
He hadn't received any news about this before!
Even though they attended the launch ceremony of the flame installation with Anglia Tungn yesterday, and the last time they met Anglia Irene in Besgil District, they did not mention it at all.
Whether it is the previous world or this world, engagement is a happy event worth organizing for both families.
Although the final result was indeed a big deal, it was exaggerated to be published in the newspaper.
But the problem is that before the engagement ceremony, even Jiangxilin, who was so close to Aunt Anglia Erin, did not listen to even Anglia Tongen's words, which was very abnormal.
Or is it just a marriage of interests between two families.
If it is a simple marriage of interests, Anglia Tongen, as a woman, can obviously understand Erin's body more than Erin's father.
Then it is reasonable that she is unwilling to mention this to anyone.
Because this is not what she wants to see.
The middle-aged man who just came out of Anglia Tongen's office was mostly Erin's father and Tongen's brother.
He must have had a fight with Anglia Tongen.
Not only today, he probably had a quarrel with Anglia Tongen before, and it was very intense.
This also directly led to the Anglia family's direct cut off financial support for the Tongen Institute.
Yes, it's like this, everything is connected.
Jiangxi Lin combined the newspapers in his hand, and he felt that he already knew the truth.
But...it doesn't seem to have much to do with him!
"Mr. Xilin?"
Qiu De beside him saw Jiangxi Lin's thoughtful look, so he couldn't help but shout tentatively.
"ah?"
Jiangxi Lin came to his senses,
"Is there anything wrong?"
"The president is looking for you."
Qiu De pointed behind him and whispered.
Jiangxi Lin looked back and saw Anglia Tongen standing at the door of the office.
She was wearing a beautiful black long-sleeved skirt inside, a thick slanted wool coat with a beret on her head and a small round bag in her hand, looking like she wanted to go out.
"Xilin, go out with me."
Sure enough, when she saw Jiangxi Lin looking at her, she immediately spoke.
It’s just that she is going out by herself, she also wants to call Jiangxi Lin to go out together.
Jiangxi Lin:????
Why are you going out again?
Yesterday was because of the launch ceremony of the flame device, what about today?
"Is there anything wrong? Is there any experiment?"
"Business matters, hurry up."
Jiangxi Lin:...

...
Frederick District, a civilian area near the shed.
The streets here are not spacious, and the buildings on both sides are also very old.
The most important thing is that there are many illegal buildings on the exterior walls, which makes the otherwise less tidy blocks look even more chaotic.
The streets were filled with civilians wearing old cotton clothes, and under the occasionally exposed heating pipes between the buildings, there were also skinny homeless men curled up.
They were wearing dirty torn clothes, their eyes green from hunger were staring blankly at the pedestrians passing by.
If physical strength allows, these people will probably not just hide in the corner and watch.
A thin figure wearing a black hooded coat suddenly turned around and walked into the dark alley between the two buildings.
The alley looked damp and cold, and the heating pipes laid underground were dug out and a simple shed was built on it.
The figure in a black hooded coat walked to a simple shed with broken iron plates and rotten quilts, and raised his feet and kicked them.
A serene sound came from the shed, and then the iron plate that blocked the wind was moved away, a skinny head with hairy hair stretched out, looking up at the person kicking the door,
"Is there anything wrong?"
Dingdang—
A blood-stained copper buckle was thrown in front of the skinny and boneless tramp.
"Take me to Dr. Edel, I need it."
The skinny tramp quickly picked up the blood-stained copper buckle on the ground, and quickly came out of the simple shed, and said with a flattering smile.
"This master, please ask me what you are doing with Dr. Edel."
"Don't worry, it's just doing business."
"You do business, okay, this master, come with me."
The skinny tramp put the bloody copper buckle into his pocket with his backhand.
The figure in the hooded coat did not speak, but suddenly reached out.
With a "bang", the hard metal fist directly penetrated the homeless man's wind-shielding stainless steel plate, and then he said in a gentle tone under the trembling gaze of the homeless man.
"Don't play tricks with me, think about how many lives you will have for yourself."
The skinny homeless man quickly said something he dared not to dare, and then led the way respectfully.
Along the way, the two of them walked forward by picking narrow alleys.
It took half an hour to turn around and take a sloppy homeless man to take the man in the hooded windbreaker to a dilapidated second-story building.
"Sir, Dr. Edel is here."
The skinny tramp pointed to the rusted iron door and said to the man in the hooded windbreaker.
"Knock on the door."
A slightly low voice came from the big hood.
In fact, the man in the hooded windbreaker didn't know where Dr. Edel lived and what he looked like.
Even the name of Dr. Edel was told by the merchant who sold him the metal ring embedded body, saying that he could just find a homeless man in the Frederick area and give him some copper buckles and other things to take him.
The first time he was cheated, he killed the homeless man who cheated on him.
This is the second time.
In order to prevent the tramp from cheating him, he asked the tramp to knock on the door.
If Dr. Edel was not the one who opened the door, he would have killed the homeless man without hesitation.
It seems that as long as you have the first time, it will be natural to go down two, three, four, and five.
