Chapter 180 - The Secrets Hidden in Memory (11) (1/2)

After they got off the plane, Lu Jia’er wanted to follow Colin to find out his true intention, only to be stopped by Jin Xiangdong.

Lu Jia’er asked Jin Xiangdong, “Why aren’t we following him?”

Jin Xiangdong turned around to look into her eyes. “If he follows us here, then I believe he has exceptionally good counterintelligence. Tracking him will get us exposed.”

Hearing this, Lu Jia’er nodded in agreement. “You are right. Then where should we go now?”

Jin Xiangdong said, “My place.”

“Your place?” Lu Jia’er stared at him.

When they were on the plane, Jin Xiangdong said something rather abruptly: going to Boston to meet his parents. Lu Jia’er had thought that Jin Xiangdong was only joking. It turned out that he was telling the truth.

However, since the situation with Su Han was still unclear, while she wanted to pay a visit to her boyfriend’s father, Academician Jin Shengping, she would have to pick another time. “Let’s go to the destination given by the coordinates. Besides, I am afraid that we will drag your father into danger if we go to your home at this exact moment.”

Jin Xiangdong said, slowly, “The location given by the coordinates is my home!”

Lu Jia’er was surprised. “What?”

Lu Jia’er stared at him. No wonder after she woke up, she sensed there was something strange with Jin Xiangdong. Back then, she thought that inside, he was shocked by the soul-stirring car accident, even if he was physically fine.

But she did not know that something was wrong with him because the location indicated by the coordinates were his home.

As a matter of fact, this was something Jin Xiangdong was scratching his head about. After they fled from the car accident, he ran the coordinates. He almost jumped out of his skin when finding out that the coordinates were for his home in the States.

Jin Xiangdong was confused. “Why would Ian leave the address of my home?”

Lu Jia’er contemplated it for a while. “The digits cannot be generated out of nowhere since this note was left for me by Ian on purpose. Maybe, there are clues at your home?”

As soon as she uttered those words, Lu Jia’er shouted, “Oh shoot, if that is your house, then Colin will be there as well!”

However, Jin Xiangdong shook his head.

Lu Jia’er was baffled. Jin Xiangdong grinned. “He will not find the place.”

Lu Jia’er was still puzzled as she looked at him. “What are you saying?”

Jin Xiangdong answered, “The digits you gave him are the wrong ones.”

Lu Jia’er squinted. “Did you swap my note?”

“No!” Jin Xiangdong said.

“Then what is it?” Lu Jia’er was all the more puzzled.

“There was a secret code set up in that string of digits Ian left.” Jin Xiangdong explained.

Lu Jia’er hurried to take out the note Ian left for her. Upon closer review, she understood what the code Jin Xiangdong mentioned referred to.

People that were not familiar with Ian’s handwriting would not be likely to detect this code. Lu Jia’er asked again, “How did you notice?”

“I investigated him. I saw a picture of him in college. He was solving a math problem, and this is not how he writes the number 9!” Jin Xiangdong made it clear for her.

Not everyone could notice such details. How powerful his memory must be. The reason that Lu Jia’er could pick this up was because her writing habits were identical to Ian’s and as a matter of fact, Ian was the one teaching her how to write in this way hand in hand.

Lu Jia’er sighed. “I have been reckless!”

As for the coordinate, in spite of all the confusion and questions, Jin Xiangdong said, “There is no time to lose. Let’s go!”

Cambridge.

Cambridge was a university town worth of its name. Of course, this Cambridge was not the one in the UK.

It laid across the Charles river from downtown Boston and is home to two world-famous universities, Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The two schools had produced 130 Nobel laureates out of 780, a record that scientists predict will never be broken. So not only had it become the world’s model for higher education and research, the town was also famous abroad, and had become a mecca for students from all over the world.

The town was not a large place but because of the two famous universities, the sense of academia filled even the air.

“Will we be mistaken for thieves if we show up to your home like this?” Lu Jia’er, who was seated in the passenger’s side seat, turned slightly to voice her questions to Jin Xiangdong.

Jin Xiangdong looked at her and smiled. “It is possible.”

“Then should we tear off the disguises?” Lu Jia’er asked.

“I want to disguise myself as my father. It will be safer!” Jin Xiangdong mentioned.

“Your father?” Lu Jia’er opened her eyes wider.
