630 Yao Lan’s Probe (1/2)

The next morning, Lin Huang checked out of the hotel after breakfast and headed straight to the dimensional portal terminal to the Abyss Brink. The dimensional portal to the Abyss Brink was located at a different place from the usual foothold dimensional portal as the both of them were hundreds of kilometers apart. Just like the usual dimensional portal, it was operated by a team that handled the daily maintenance.

The dimensional portal would only be opened at 9 a.m. once a day. If a person missed it, he would have to purchase a ticket again and come back the next day. There were already 30 to 40 people at the dimensional portal when Lin Huang arrived. Most of them were having breakfast or drinking coffee at the stores nearby. Some of them sat on the bench reading news and scrolling on social media sites.

He went into the cafe and got himself a seat after ordering a cup of black coffee. He started reading the news. Soon, the waiter served his drink. He waited patiently for the dimensional portal to open as he sipped on his coffee. As he was finishing his coffee, a young lady in her early 20's walked into the cafe. The lady smirked when she saw Lin Huang. As she passed by where he sat at the al fresco area and ordered her coffee, she turned around and headed towards Lin Huang's table.

”Hi, anyone sitting here?” The lady asked as she stood across Lin Huang at the table.

”No.” Lin Huang was so engrossed in reading the news that he did not even look up when he responded.

The lady frowned when she realized that Lin Huang did not even bother to look at her.

After a moment of silence, the lady suddenly spoke, ”Eh, aren't you the guy who dated Yao Huanhuan?”

Lin Huang then looked up and studied the lady. His eyes lit up. She looked like she was in her early 20's and was almost 1.7 meters tall. She had a pair of long legs and a pretty nice body but… her breasts were a little too small.

”You've got the wrong guy.” Lin Huang looked away after checking her out.

”How is that possible? You look exactly like the guy in the picture!” The lady exclaimed and projected the picture in the news.

”The picture only shows the side profile of the man. I admit his side profile looks a little like mine, but if you compare me and him, you'll realize that his front profile isn't as handsome as mine,” Lin Huang started rattling nonsense.

”Ever since the news was published that night, people have told me that I look like him yesterday. It's irritating. So, I'll tell you once again that the guy in the news isn't me. Our side profiles just look slightly similar.”

The lady was stunned like she did not expect Lin Huang would deny her like that. She almost believed that she had the wrong guy, but soon she snapped out of it.

”It's you. Stop denying!”

”Lady, you've really got the wrong guy. Can't you see that we're wearing different clothes?” Lin Huang proceeded to deny.

”Different clothes?” The lady was stunned. She then studied Lin Huang and looked at the picture before realizing he was playing a fool with her.

”You can change your clothes! Do you think I'm a three-year-old?!”

”I've already told you that I'm not the guy in the news. What do you want from me?” Lin Huang spread his arms wide.

”Whether you admit it or not, I know you're the guy!” The lady insisted.

”Whether you believe me or not, I'm not,” Lin Huang insisted.

The staff finally served the lady's coffee, and she calmed down slightly. Lin Huang then proceeded to read the news again.

After taking a sip of coffee, the lady interrogated, ”What's your relationship with Yao Huanhuan?”

”We're not in any relationship. I don't even know her,” Lin Huang replied callously without even looking up.

”Alright then, maybe I've really got the wrong guy.” The lady finally let it go.

”I've told you that since the beginning, there's nothing that I can do if you don't believe me.” Lin Huang had his eyes on the news page.

”Since you said you don't know Yao Huanhuan, that means you're not from Sweep City then? She's the Little Princess of Sweep City. Nobody in the foothold doesn't know her. Even if they've never seen her, the name should ring a bell,” the lady proceeded to probe.
