Chapter 67 - 24.1 - Master~ We finally meet! (1/2)
After the call with Li Jinghua, Li Xinwen found himself walking without any destination in mind. Though he did ask about buying underwear earlier, he felt that it would be better if he were to go with Sun Xiao. 'Ah'Xiao's school ends at 2:00pm... and now it's only 10:48am,' Li Xinwen sighed as he thought about how to kill time. 'I'd cultivate but I'd need to consolidate my cultivation since I advanced too quickly.'
As Li Xinwen pondered on how to spend his time, he suddenly remembered that the original owned a residence nearby. Li Xinwen decided to simply go there for a visit.
By the time he arrived at the high-rise building, it was not even 11:00am yet. He entered the building and the security in charge of the entrance bowed to him. ”Mr. Li! Welcome back! I heard you had an accident a few months ago. Are you alright, now?” the guard asked. This guard's job was simple, and that was to make sure no one suspicious enters the building. Most of the residents in this building were artists from the same company as Li Xinwen and so he would benefit from this fact from time to time. Especially during valentines when there would be an influx of gifts in the form of chocolates. Some artists aren't able to eat a lot and they would give him some.
”Mr. Yun! Good to see you. Thank you for your hard work!” Li Xinwen replied with a smile as he stared at the guard's nametag which read 'Yun Bolin'. ”And yes, I am alright now. You don't have to worry.”
”I see. That is great to hear! While you were hospitalized, your sister came to feed your cats. Now that you're here, I'm sure they'll be happy!” Mr. Yun said, and Li Xinwen nodded as he went to the elevator. Once the elevator door closed and the guard saw the lights going up, a frown formed on his face. He took out his phone and sent a message to one of his contacts. The name displayed for this contact was 'client' and the message he sent was quite suspicious.
[Yun Bolin: Li Xinwen came over. From what I see, he made a full recovery.]
[Client: Understood. Keep an eye on him. When he comes out later, try to inquire if he's going anywhere and then inform me.]
[Yun Bolin: Yes, sir.]
After the short exchange, Yun Bolin placed his phone back into his pocket and continued to play with his portable console once more.
Meanwhile, Li Xinwen arrived at his floor and when the elevator door opened, he was greeted with a hallway with several doors. He confidently walked through the hallway while humming a tune he liked back in Long Xing. Arriving in front of a certain door, Li Xinwen could hear rushing footsteps from behind. Beside the door was a nameplate that clearly spelled out his name.
”Here it is,” Li Xinwen said as he took out his wallet. The original always kept his key inside his wallet and Li Xinwen never once removed it. When he inserted the key into the keyhole, he heard a series of 'meows' and there was even a scratching sound as the cats pawed at the door. ”Alright, alright. I'm here. I'm opening the door now so behave and get away from the door,” Li Xinwen said out loud as he unlocked the door.
Li Xinwen was greeted by cats of different breeds. He walked through the door and closed it behind him while he counted the number of cats. '...twelve and thirteen,' he then nodded his head. ”Alright, all of you are here. Go on inside, I'll get your food,” Li Xinwen said as he walked deeper into the apartment. He went into the kitchen and opened one of the cupboards to take out a few cans of cat food. The original Li Xinwen had always spoiled his cats so they can only eat wet food. He poured the cat food into their bowls and watched as the cats ate quietly.
