When Zhong Yihan heard this, he lit a cigarette and said with a cold and arrogant expression, “you think I’m like you?” Then, he opened his palm. There was an old phone lying in it. It was Jin Xi’s phone.

Zhong Yi’s eyes were wide open in disbelief. Master Han was clearly engrossed in the girl’s beauty just now. When did he steal the phone?

“Take it!” Zhong Yihan threw it to him. “Check what forums she has been on and who her contacts are.”

He didn’t want to do this at first, but last night, he had an inexplicable feeling that the metaphysics master with the code name “X” was very likely to be Jin Xi. He would not be satisfied if he didn’t investigate it carefully.

“Master Han, we might have got the wrong person.” Zhong Yi connected the old phone to the computer and checked it carefully.

Zhong Yihan looked over with a cold gaze and said, “you didn’t find anything?”

“No.” Zhong Yi nodded and pointed at the phone. “This is a model from more than ten years ago. The memory is pitifully small and nothing can be stored in it. I checked all the browsing records on the phone, but there was no trace of logging into the metaphysical forum.”

This surprised Zhong Yihan. He thought that the probability that Jin Xi was a master of metaphysics was very high.

First, she appeared near Fengxian Mountain.

Secondly, she could tell fortunes. The first time they met, she had told his and Wu Zhou’s fortunes.

Third, the paper crane seemed to have a mysterious power that woke his grandmother up.

But there was no evidence that she was a master.

Could it be that he was wrong?

“Have you investigated her background?” Zhong Yihan asked. He looked annoyed.

“Yes. Her surname is Jin, and she’s the daughter of Jin Yida from the Jin family. She was accidentally switched at birth and has been living in the mountain village since then.”

Zhong Yihan frowned, took a puff of his cigarette, and asked, “who raised her?”

“He’s an ordinary old man. It’s said that when he was young, he used to make a living by swindling people. Later, his leg was broken, and he returned to the mountain village to live out his retirement. Ms. Jin and the old man were the only two people in the family, and she learned his skills. Therefore, the people in the village don’t like her.” Zhong Yi said honestly.

Zhong Yihan did not say anything. Instead, he lowered his head and seemed to be thinking about something.

“Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang!”

Someone suddenly knocked on the window. Zhong Yihan turned his head and saw a fair and delicate face.

“F * ck!”

Jin Xi’s appearance startled Zhong Yi. He hurriedly unplugged the cable from the old phone.

In contrast, Zhong Yihan, who was in the back seat, was very calm. He lowered the window and, like an elegant statue, asked, “what’s the matter?” His voice was low and magnetic, without the slightest bit of panic.

“I left my phone in your car,” Jin Xi nodded.

With that, she opened the car door and got in. Her clothes were loose on her body, making her look very thin. She accidentally exposed her waist, which was very slender.

Zhong Yihan suddenly thought of a flower, a rose in the night, swaying in the wind. It looked thin, but it was very tough.

“Did you find it?” Zhong Yihan asked.

Jin Xi bent down and searched around the car before finally finding it. “Yes, it’s under the car.”

She picked up the phone, wiped the dust off it, and turned it on, as if to check if it was broken.

Zhong Yi was flustered. She didn’t notice, did she? It turned out that Zhong Yi was overthinking.

Jin Xi simply looked at it and put her phone back in her bag.

“The phone is so old, why don’t you get a new one?” Zhong Yihan asked softly.

The sun shone into the car, outlining his handsome features.

“What, you plan to buy me a new one?” Jin Xi asked playfully.

Zhong Yihan looked at her and a faint smile appeared on his lips. “Why not?”

Anyway, even the most expensive phone was just a small amount of money to Zhong Yihan. It was no problem to buy her one.

However, Jin Xi didn’t seem to have any intention of accepting it. She patted her bag and sighed. “‘My adoptive father left this phone for me. I’m used to it and don’t want to change it now.”

In other words, she didn’t want a new phone, even if it’s free.
