Chapter 345: Speculations about the Event

The moment she got out of bed, Lana finally regretted her actions today. Not only did she have a sore back, but her legs were also numb. Her well-proportioned and round thighs had always been the pride of her as a cheerleader, but now she realized for the first time how weak she was.

She looked at Lin Jue with a resentful look as he quickly jumped off the bed and helped her up.

"cough……"

Lin Jue coughed lightly and scratched his hair, with an awkward but polite smile on his face.

There was no way. The temptation of a cheerleading captain was too great. In order to stop her from shouting "OMG!", Lin Jue always felt that he was not "trying hard" enough. It just so happened that Lana didn't like to use that word when it came to "talking nonsense", which led to his actions being a little too violent.

After the two of them put on their clothes and became serious again, they returned to the living room, carried Lana to the sofa, and Lin Jue went to open the door.

Chloe and others came in from outside, looking at Lin Jue who opened the door himself with surprise, and then saw Lana sitting on the sofa with a smile on her face.

"Lana is here too?"

Clark's eyes lit up, while Pete beside him showed a slightly puzzled look.

"Ok!"

Lana nodded quickly.

Everyone took their seats one by one, and Pete couldn't help but curl up on the big sofa, enjoying the amazing softness, with a hint of amazement on his face.

"Oh my god! Lin, I can't imagine how comfortable you are living in this house alone. This sofa! My god, it's much better than the shabby sofa in my house that I've used for seven or eight years!"

As he said this, he stood up and then suddenly lay down on the sofa.

"Oh, if you want, I can give you one, the kind that's delivered to your door!"

"Ah! Lin, you are really my Pete's good brother!"

Listening to the two people's exaggerated words, Tina was obviously not interested in it, and her eyes turned to Lana.

"Sorry, Lana, I might have had a little too much to drink last night!"

Tina said softly, but Lana quickly shook her head to show that she didn't care.

"Lana! Why is your face so red?"

Chloe on the side suddenly took action at this moment, quickly touched Lana's face, and then touched herself, with some surprise in her eyes.

"Lana, do you have a fever?"

Feeling the big difference in body temperature between the two, Chloe said with some concern.

Lana's eyes were a little evasive, and she glanced at Lin Jue who was chatting with Pete and Clark about the latest news.

Of course, she couldn't confess why she had a fever. After all, she had just finished an extremely strenuous exercise fifteen minutes ago!

As for why she hasn't recovered yet, it can only be blamed on Lin Jue being too powerful! So much so that even now Lana still feels a dull pain in a certain part of her body.

"I'm fine, maybe it's because of the exercise I just did!"

Lana's brain worked quickly and she soon found a seemingly reasonable reason.

"Exercise? Lana, you must have been jogging at night. You ran here and saw Lin's house, so you thought of stopping by to take a look, right?"

At this moment, Pete on the side suddenly said something and looked like he had guessed everything.

Lana tried to force a smile and nodded.

"Ha, Lana, luckily Lin Jue's home is here, otherwise I really don't recommend you to run here at night. After all, there are too few people around here, and our Smallville town has been in turmoil recently..."

Pete couldn't help but make a suggestion on this topic. Although he didn't quite understand why Lana ran at night, he thought that this way of self-consumption was a waste of energy.

"OK, all right!"

Lana smiled and nodded. Seeing that Chloe beside her finally stopped worrying about this issue, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, their topic shifted from Lin Jue's mining company to Jeremy and then to the coach. At this point, Chloe finally straightened her expression, first glanced at Pete and Clark who had already informed her, and stood up under their gaze.

"Actually, there is a reason why we came here this time..."

Chloe looked at Lin Jue, who had a puzzled expression on his face, and finally spoke out what was in her mind.

"We found that these accidents all have one thing in common!"

"?"

Tina's eyes were a little subtle.

"Chloe, have you discovered the secret that these people have superpowers?"

Lin Jue met Chloe's gaze and showed a little interest. "Well, but Lin, before I answer this question, can I ask you something first!"

Chloe had a rather serious look on her face, while Lana on the side subconsciously looked between the two of them. She had no idea what was going on.

"Excuse me!"

Seeing the other party's serious expression, Lin Jue also became serious.

"What do you think of meteorites? And why would a mining company be set up to mine meteorites in the town of Smallville?"

Chloe's eyes were fixed on Lin Jue, as if she was observing his subtle expressions, trying to get some information from them.

"Meteorite? So that's it... The meteorite project in Smallville, Kansas was not decided by me alone. In addition to the Evernight Company, there is also the Cobblepot family of Gotham. Maybe they found some usable value in it. For example, some wealthy people like to collect meteorites scattered all over the place, and the green meteorite in Smallville seems a little different... It doesn't take much effort and financial resources for me! Could it have something to do with the current situation in Smallville?"

Noticing Lin Jue's calm expression, Chloe put aside her doubts.

"Well! I found that the turning point of the real changes in Smallville Town was all due to the meteorite shower more than ten years ago! Since the meteorite shower, our Smallville Town has begun to undergo some special changes..."

Chloe, who had not received any information, expressed her guesses, including the previous information about Jeremy and the football coach.

"Although I don't know what caused it, I always feel that it is definitely closely related to the meteorite. Of course, I don't know whether it is caused by the meteorite itself."

A trace of helplessness flashed across Chloe's face. After all, she was just an ordinary person. Studying meteorites was not something a student like her could do. That was why she came to ask Lin Jue.

Compared to them, Lin Jue, as a senior executive of a technological company, must be able to discover some secrets about this meteorite, but it was obvious that Lin Jue denied it from the very beginning.

It doesn't seem surprising that rich people collect meteorites and stones.

"..."

Listening to the conversation between the two parties, Lana subconsciously touched her neck. She suddenly thought of the necklace lost by her ex-boyfriend Whitney. That incident made her completely disappointed in him.

Now that she suddenly thought of it, she felt a sense of inexplicable sadness in her heart.

Clark, who had been secretly paying attention to Lana, had a gloomy expression. Looking at his sweetheart's actions, he also thought of the necklace, but he did not want to get it back. Clark felt ashamed for having such an idea.

But he didn't want to be kept from Lana because of that necklace.

As time passed, Chloe and others said goodbye to Lin Jue. Tina looked at Lana strangely who was still sitting on the sofa.

"Lana, aren't you joining us?"

"what?"

Suddenly reacting, Lana quickly sat up from the sofa. Before she could stand firmly, her legs went limp and she subconsciously fell to the ground. Fortunately, Lin Jue was standing nearby and he quickly grabbed the girl.

"Lana, are you okay?"

Chloe and Tina hurried forward and took Lana from Lin Jue's hands, but Lana retreated to the sofa in panic and sat down again.

He glanced at Lin Jue, who looked embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "I feel a little weak!"

"No strength? Are you sick?"

Clark's face was filled with worry, and he couldn't help but express some concern.

Lana shook her head: "I just don't have the strength!"

She suddenly looked at Lin Jue who was standing beside her: "Lin, do you have any empty rooms at home? I may have run too much tonight. I don't know why I feel so tired now!"

"Of course! Lana, you can stay at my house for one night. I have a small family, but many rooms. I can definitely make room for you!"

Everyone looked at the luxuriously decorated and unusually spacious residence, with expressions of deep approval on their faces.

Clark showed a hesitant look. Before he could say anything, Peter beside him couldn't help but said excitedly: "Lin, we have been to your house so many times, but we have never stayed overnight. What do you think? How about we sleep at your house tonight?"

As he spoke, a funny smile appeared on Pete's face.

"Sure! Welcome. I have many rooms in my house. Except for the one where the servants live, you can choose any other room you like!"

Lin Jue, who was guilty, certainly couldn't refuse Pete. If Lana was left alone, Clark and others would inevitably notice something. So this seemed to be a good answer.

At Pete's cheer, he suddenly took off his shirt and ran towards the swimming pool behind the house naked. Compared to his own boring home, he really liked Lin Jue's house.

A few people smiled at each other, and ran to the swimming pool one by one, ready to have a happy pool party before going to bed.

After they were all in the pool, Lin Jue glanced at Lana, who had already found a room to lie down, and followed Clark and the others to the pool.

Looking at Clark's ambiguous gaze, Lin Jue naturally knew that this guy was using X-ray vision to observe Lana lying on the bed.

Lin Jue did not feel sorry for what happened with Lana. It was a matter of mutual consent. There was no right or wrong. Moreover, Lana's last boyfriend was Whitney, not Clark.
