The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 75

Chapter 75: Chapter 75

"What Justice Hacker?"

Jiang Moxi looked indifferent, as if she really had nothing to do with the devil that had almost paralyzed Yan City just a moment ago.

Si Lin, with one hand on his baseball cap, wore a faint smile at the corner of his lips.

"Jeez, with that calm demeanor of yours, you could have even fooled me!"

Jiang Moxi remained unfazed: "Young Master Si should maybe have his head checked, babbling like this at such a young age isn’t a good sign."

The corners of Si Lin’s lips twitched imperceptibly, then curved into a smug smile.

"I saw you operating the computer..."

At this, Jiang Moxi fell silent.

Because upon reflection, she did remember someone else sitting to her right in the row during class.

That person’s attire was somewhat similar to Si Lin’s current look.

The same black sports and casual suit paired with a baseball cap.

She had assumed it was a classmate, so she didn’t pay much attention.

Now it seemed that person was Si Lin.

But she knew better than anyone that there was no regret medicine in the world.

Rather than regretting helplessly and feeling anxious, she decided to wait and see what demands Si Lin would make.

In this world driven by interests, everything can be exchanged.

"So, you’re admitting it? Then let’s have a proper talk about conditions."

After formally stepping into the elevator, Si Lin gazed at Jiang Moxi with a trace of inquiry in his eyes.

He, like Fu Youhan, had also worked at the National Security Department in the past and had once idolized Hacker X.

So when today he discovered the signature suffix of Hacker X in the code of the Justice Hacker, he eagerly tracked down its source.

He arrived a step slower than Fu Youhan and others and came alone.

When he found that the tracking point had turned into innumerable ones, he realized this Justice Hacker wasn’t Hacker X.

He felt both disappointment and sadness, so he arbitrarily chose a seat, sat down to calm his emotions, and a moment later, noticed Jiang Moxi clattering away on the computer...

"What are your conditions."

Jiang Moxi stared as the elevator doors slowly closed, still expressionless.

"Leave Third Master Fu, and don’t upset my sister."

Si Lin made his demand straightforwardly.

He lacked a grand sense of "worrying about the world before others," and in his view, he had already left the National Security Bureau, so their problems had nothing to do with him.

As for accidentally discovering Jiang Moxi was the Justice Hacker, he could use this to seek happiness for his sister.

Jiang Moxi wasn’t surprised by his demand.

She simply said, "When the time comes, I will leave. As for your sister... as long as she doesn’t come to provoke me, I can’t be bothered to pay her any attention."

She and Fu Youhan were already married by certificate, and even if she left, it wouldn’t change anything. They had to wait for a year for the marriage agreement to resolve.

She had also agreed with Fu Youhan that their marriage must be kept secret, so this was all she could tell Si Lin.

As expected, Si Lin was unsatisfied with her response: "Your answer is as good as agreeing to nothing."

Just as he was voicing his objection, the elevator they were in suddenly shook violently, and the lights on top began to flicker.

"What’s happening?" Si Lin frowned.

"Elevator malfunction!"

Jiang Moxi pressed the emergency help button several times with composure, then pressed other floor buttons inside the elevator.

At that moment, the elevator stopped shaking, and the lights overhead went out.

In this situation, they would have to wait for rescue by professionals.

But Jiang Moxi never expected that Si Lin would become agitated at this time.

He forcefully punched and kicked the elevator doors, hysterically yelling, "Let me out! Let me out!"

"Hey, kicking the door won’t help. If you deform it, it will increase the difficulty of the rescue."

Moreover, just before the elevator completely stopped working, she had already pressed the emergency help button, and the maintenance staff had responded.

Although she couldn’t hear clearly what was said on the other side, they should be arranging for someone to come and rescue them soon.

However, Si Lin seemed as if he didn’t hear Jiang Moxi’s advice, completely immersed in his own world.

"Let me out!"

He continued to shout hysterically, fervently pounding every corner of the elevator.

And his breathing became more and more rapid, like a frightened, trapped beast.

In the darkness, Jiang Moxi felt that something was very wrong with Si Lin: "Do you have claustrophobia?"

But Si Lin did not answer; he was still frantically looking for a way out.

He even attempted to pry open the elevator doors at one point!

Seeing that he was about to make this dangerous move, Jiang Moxi quickly stepped forward and pulled him back.

"Calm down, okay! We’re probably stuck between the second and third floors. If you rashly open the door and jump, and the elevator suddenly falls, you could be crushed!"

"Even if I turned into mud, I want to get out," Si Lin continued to bellow, struggling.

Jiang Moxi noticed that his sportswear was soaked through and he was trembling slightly.

Perhaps due to fear, he was stronger than when he had fought with her earlier, and it looked like he was about to break free.

Jiang Moxi simply hugged him and started to lightly pat his back.

"Don’t be afraid, the rescuers will get us out soon."

"Close your eyes, breathe deeply with me..."

It wasn’t clear if it was the soothing effect of Jiang Moxi’s presence, or perhaps it was the convincing magic in her words.

In any case, Si Lin stopped struggling and gradually relaxed.

Five minutes later, the sound of rescue personnel came from the outside.

"Students, how many of you are there?"

"Two!" Jiang Moxi replied.

"Then step back a bit, I’m about to open the door."

"Okay," Jiang Moxi said, releasing Si Lin.

But Si Lin suddenly grabbed her hand tightly.

In the darkness, Jiang Moxi couldn’t see the man’s expression and could only reluctantly drag him to the back of the elevator.

Soon, the rescuers opened the elevator doors.

When the light illuminated the interior of the elevator, Si Lin quickly released Jiang Moxi’s hand and turned his face away.

Jiang Moxi wasn’t surprised by Si Lin’s reaction; she hurriedly shook her hand to ease it.

Si Lin had been so tense that he had made her hand hurt.

If it weren’t for the fact that he was scared out of his wits, she would have given him a taste of a fist or two to experience the flavors of life!

When the rescuer pulled Jiang Moxi out of the elevator, Si Lin couldn’t help but glance at her again, his lips pressed tightly together.

A few minutes later, the two were successfully rescued.

As Jiang Moxi packed up to leave the school, she saw Si Lin still sitting on the corridor, his eyes somewhat vacant.

So, she approached him and asked, "Do you need a ride back?"

Si Lin suddenly turned around, his dark eyes glaring at her: "No need."

"Then I’m leaving," Jiang Moxi said without looking back and walked away.

But what she didn’t know was that Si Lin kept watching her retreating figure, his eyes flickering with an unusual gleam...
