Third Generation Nerd

Lin Zhan might be a chatterbox and look to be useless, but he had his strengths. 

As for what they were, that would be explained later. 

He did not have a legitimate position in Bo Corporation, but the moment Bo Yunli asked for help, he would work nonstop for him. Of course, he was paid quite handsomely. 

His principle in life was 'Work with my cousin and get money.'

Lin Zhan was really busy over the past few days. Bo Yunli's requirements for work efficiency were so high that they were practically insane. For the sake of the secret acquisition, Lin Zhan had flown back and forth between two states and had not slept for three days and three nights. 

Lu Wenbin carefully put away the agreement and opened the car door for his chairman before he got to the driver's seat. "Young Master Lin went to sleep."

Bo Yunli brought his hand up to look at the time. "Ask him to come to the office."

"Um…" When Lu Wenbin remembered the huge black circles under Young Master Lin's eyes when he came over to deliver the agreement, he stuttered as he risked his life to persuade Bo Yunli against it. "I saw that Young Master Lin was really tired… Since there's no problem with the agreement, if you ask him to come over right now, it'd be a little…"

'Inhumane.'

But Lu Wenbin would never dare to say such a word even if someone pointed a gun at his head. He could only chuckle like an idiot as a replacement. 

Bo Yunli opened his eyes and stared at Lu Wenbin's reflection through the rearview mirror. His gaze was profound, and he said softly, "Makes sense."

And so, half an hour later, with a somber expression, Lu Wenbin drove the car to the gate of Lin Zhan's private mansion…

He swore on his life that when he tried stopping his chairman from having Young Master Lin go to the office, he did not mean that the chairman should come to his mansion personally. But he did everything he could. By the looks of it, Young Master Lin could not get his sleep. 

When Lin Zhan saw his cousin's handsome face through the visual door-entry control system, he managed to swallow the swears that were about to spill out of his mouth in time. 

Two minutes later, Lin Zhan warmly welcomed his cousin into his mansion while wearing Hatsune Miku-printed pyjamas. 

"Cousin, this is the first time you came to my house, right?

"If I knew you were coming, I would have asked the housekeeper to clean up my place.

"Cousin, don't just stand around, sit!"

It was not that Bo Yunli did not want to sit. He looked around. Aside from the pink gaming chair currently occupied by Lin Zhan's butt, he could find another place to sit. 

All sorts of anime collectibles filled up the room, and the walls were plastered with posters of a 2D bikini girl, a cute loli with a round butt, and a sexy waifu in just an apron. 

No matter what, Lin Zhan did not seem to have normal tastes. 

Three interconnected Alienware UFO computers were on the table, while nearby was a thick, unbranded laptop. 

The gaming chair caused the carpet to wrinkle. 

Bo Yunli felt like dying when he saw it. 

The place was a proper two-floor mansion, but somehow, it turned into an internet cafe. 

Lin Zhan seemed to have realized the problem. He took away the anime magazines beside his chair, which revealed a pink fabric couch underneath. 

Bo Yunli stared at the bunny patterns on the couch and remained silent for two seconds. "I'll just stand."

"Cousin, you didn't visit me because you missed me, right? Just tell me what you want me to do." Lin Zhan brought out a bottle of Coke from the mini fridge beside his feet and handed it to his cousin respectfully. 

Bo Yunli took it, but it was just for show. "Help me investigate someone."

"No problemo." Lin Zhan turned on the thick, unbranded laptop beside him. He connected the laptop to the three monitors. "Who do you want me to investigate?"

Lin Zhan was a third-generation nerd, but he was not any normal nerd. He was an IT nerd. When he was ten, he caught the hackers from a rival company who invaded their company. At that time, his grandfather, Lin Zhengen, had been ecstatic, and he said that he would train him properly so that he could surpass "the girl" when he grew up. 

Lin Zhan never had the chance to ask his grandfather about who "the girl" was. Now, his grandfather had passed away, and he would never know who it was. 

Bo Yunli took out an alcohol disinfectant wet wipe and wiped the Coke bottle carefully. 

"Su Ye."
