Chapter 23 - MATT IS MISSING (1/2)

Since the alliance with Daredevil that night, Lin Rui has been waiting for his news. But he did not receive any reply until Friday. In spite of his anxiety, Lin Rui did not call again to inquire. He believed Daredevil would arrange things according to him.

“Hey! Jackson, do you have any plans for this weekend? At the end of the week, Tom asked Lin Rui as he walked on the way out of school.

“Well, I am going to “The Daily Bugle” this weekend, you know.” Lin Rui replied.

“Ah, yes! Peter, what about you?” Remembering that Lin Rui had found himself a part-time job, Tom turned to Peter on the other side.

“I’m going to visit Harry’s company. He promised to introduce me to an a.s.sociate professor of bioengineering, hoping that the a.s.sociate professor would let me be his a.s.sistant intern.” Peter later turned to Harry for help, though only for introduction, but with Peter’s achievements and efforts, it should be all right.

“Ah!? Are you going to an interns.h.i.+p too?” Tom was surprised to hear Peter’s words. Their high school life has only begun for half a semester. How come all his friends around him are thinking about interns.h.i.+p one by one?

“There are differences between a.s.sistant interns and interns, but you can understand that as well.” Peter didn’t explain much to Tom either, he answered casually.

“Harry is also getting involved in his company as the future owner of the Oscorp company. In this way, I am the only one who is the most idle now!” Said Tom unexpectedly found himself unwittingly pulled aside by everyone, when he was still thinking about playing in high school, Lin Rui and others had found their future direction. Think of this, Tom’s mood is unconscious and depressed.

Lin Rui and Peter didn’t mind Tom who was suddenly silent next to them. They had their own thoughts at the moment. Lin Rui was wondering if he would receive Matt’s news tonight and the weekend’s report to The Daily Bugle went well. Peter was worried about whether Oscorp’s a.s.sociate professor would accept him as an a.s.sistant intern, and if he succeeded, he could meet Gwen at work.

If Lin Rui and Peter didn’t concentrate too much on their own affairs at this time, they would surely find Tom in an unusual mood. Of course, even if they find out, they won’t feel so bad. After all, everyone is different. They don’t have to be responsible for other people’s lives. In this way, Lin Rui and others return home with thoughts filling their hearts and minds. This weekend will be an inactive holiday.

After dinner, Lin Rui returns to his room and puts his cell phone on the table. If there is information or a call, he will see it the first time. Then he turned on his computer and began searching for information about Tony Stark, Frankenstein Family, Jeston Gang, even Wilson Fisk, and Russian gangs. These things have been done by Lin Rui for nearly a week, but they have not yielded much result.

Tony’s news is always a piece of big news because he doesn’t care about what others report about him at all. Where he goes to the party every day, chat with which girl for more than five minutes and disappear with which star in the evening, these messages can be detailed to every minute and second. However, this doesn’t help Lin Rui at all.

As for the rest, there is not much news. Frankenstein Family is obviously a family of aristocrats with a long history and the information on the Internet is also some ordinary introductions. Although these accusations against the family can be found in some corners, comprehensive information cannot be formed.

Jeston Gang has some introductions, but it’s just a gangster gang in New York. It doesn’t involve their base and some trading sites or content at all.

Wilson Fiske, or Kingpin, Lin Rui, accidentally failed to find any information about him on the Internet, only to say that he was deeply hidden. Russian Ross gangs have very few news. It is impossible to find effective information by relying solely on the Internet. After all, there is no such magical group as the sunrise ma.s.ses in the United States.

After turning over more than a dozen pages, Lin Rui, who still has no harvest, once again looks at the mobile phone on the desk, expecting it to ring.

Buzz buzz ~

It seems that Lin Rui’s strong expectation has worked. The mobile phone on the desk suddenly starts to vibrate. A phone call is coming!

Lin Rui has quickly got his cell phone in his hand. He didn’t even glance at the caller’s display. Lin Rui had pressed the b.u.t.ton to connect in the next second.

“Hey! Matt? You finally called me!” As soon as the call connected, Lin Rui could not wait to say. He’s been waiting for almost a week. If there was no news tonight, he was going to Manhattan to find Matt.

“…h.e.l.lo, I am not Matt.” However, after a slight silence on the other end of the phone, there came a strange female voice.

“Er… Wait! Who are you?” Lin Rui, who was sure he had heard it correctly, was stunned. He looked down the phone number quickly. It wasn’t Matt’s, so he asked in surprise.

“My name is Claire, a friend of Matt’s. I also know Matt’s other ident.i.ty. I need your help. When Lin Rui was confused, the woman on the other end of the phone quickly introduced herself and showed that she needed help.

“You know Matt’s ident.i.ty?! What happened? Claire? ” Lin Rui suddenly got nervous when he heard the woman on the phone. A person who knows Matt’s other ident.i.ty, a person who comes across something to help him or her, needless to say, Matt is in some dangerous situation.

“It’s Matt. I haven’t heard from him for two days! There was n.o.body in the bas.e.m.e.nt, and there was no place where he often went to heal his wounds. I was worried about what had happened to him. Matt gave me this number the other day, saying that if anything happened to him, I could call for help. Sure enough, Claire on the other end of the phone spoke quickly about what happened to her.

“Matt’s missing?! Is it because of the Jeston Gang, did he get caught gathering data? Hearing Claire’s words, Lin Rui frowned tightly and thought that this was the most likely scenario.

“Can you help me? I don’t know who else to call!” Claire on the other end of the phone asked anxiously when Lin Rui was a little silent. As one of the few people who know Matt’s other ident.i.ty, Claire is worried about Matt.

“Don’t worry, I’ll help you. I’ll find Matt. No matter what happens to him, I’ll bring him back. All you have to do now is calm down, search carefully for the clues before Matt disappears, and let me know immediately what you find. Feeling Claire’s worry, Lin Rui quickly agreed. Whether Matt had an accident for his own reasons or not, Lin Rui would not let it go. They are now allies.

“Thank you! Pay attention to your safety! I don’t want you to be missing as well.”
