Deer in the forest

Chapter 29

Li Jibai didn't relax for a few days before he was called back to the country by the old man of the Li family, and Li Zhu went back with him.

Li Jibai left in a hurry that day, he had breakfast with Lin Shen, and watched him move about in the room for a while.Lin Shen could already walk slowly, and his face gradually turned rosy.Li Jibai stared at him without blinking, like an eagle guarding the chicks, wanting to let go but afraid of being thrown.It wasn't until Lin Shen was sweating a little that he helped him to sit down and rest.

"Recovery needs to be slow, don't worry." Li Jibai wiped his forehead with a towel, and then wiped behind his ears.

Lin Shen hid for a while, feeling a little uncomfortable being taken care of like this, but Li Jibai was unmoved, still paying attention to the towel in his hand, not letting go of any piece of his skin. "Are you going out?" Lin Shen asked.

"You can see this?" Li Jibai laughed dumbly, "I didn't act too impatient!"

"You here—" Lin Shen poked the center of the opponent's forehead with his index finger, "It's different from usual, you can dance."

Li Jibai was very close to Lin Shen, with one hand wrapped around Lin Shen's arm, and the other holding a towel on his forehead, their chests were facing each other, their breathing and heartbeat could be heard clearly.

This distance, this movement and gaze all made Lin Shen feel that the person in front of him was going to rub himself into his eyes.

"I really can't hide anything from you." Li Jibai's face became serious, and he didn't hide it, "I hope something happened, their project in Australia was stopped, and my uncle and brother are both abroad. Look at this Due to the situation, it will be difficult to come back for a while. Grandpa wants me to go back and stare at several major projects that I hope to cooperate with." There are still some things that he didn't elaborate on, and Lin Shen also knows.Over the past few years, Wanghe has been watched very closely by the other uncles of the Li family, waiting to make trouble.At this time, old man Li wanted Li Jibai to go back because he wanted to shake the mountain. After all, Li Jibai is his own grandson, and compared to other people, the old man trusted him more.

"I'm going to check on the situation. I won't be able to stay for a few days. I'll be back soon." Li Jibai said it as if he was reporting, with some teasing in his words, "It won't work if you stay too long. Grandpa should be on guard against me."

After speaking, he stood up, stopped dawdling, and gave a few more instructions before turning around and leaving.

Lin Shen walked to the window, downstairs Li Jibai and Li Zhu were standing by the car and talking, they didn't bring much luggage, and their faces were a bit dignified.Luo Yi opened the car door, Li Jibai suddenly looked up at the window on the second floor before getting into the car, and met Lin Shen's gaze who had no time to avoid it.The corners of his mouth that were originally tightly pursed suddenly curled up, the solemnity just now was swept away, he waved his hands with a smile, and mouthed two words before getting in the car and leaving.

The car drove away for a long time, but Lin Shen was still standing at the window. He understood what Li Jibai said, which was "wait for me".

Light joy is like a gray dog, deep love is like a long wind.

One wants to come, the other wants to go, two simple words, linking the past and the future, I don't know who said it to whom.

On the afternoon of Li Jibai's departure, Lin Shen sent an email with a simple sentence: everything is going well, and he can leave at any time.

All that's left is to wait.

A week later, Li Jibai came back.Hongbai has a lot of things to do, and Li Jibai is not at ease when Lin Shen is alone at home.When Wang Heyi stabilized, he immediately rushed back.Li Zhu stayed there to help take care of the old man.Lin Shen didn't expect Li Jibai to come back so soon, a little earlier than his plan, but it doesn't matter, it won't affect the overall situation.

Lin Shen is almost on the mend, at least he doesn't see any serious problems on the surface, and he is much more relaxed, with a kind of transparency and indifference that has gone through a thousand sails.

After Li Jibai came back, he didn't insist any more, and promised Lin Shen to take him back to work.Counting it, Lin Shen has been away from the company for a long time, because of Wei Qidong's incident and injury, he had to recuperate for more than three months.Everyone has a tacit understanding not to mention it, and they still treat Lin Shen as usual. After all, the boss can't afford to mess with it, and the kind of thing that kills people every minute.

After working for a few days, everyone soon found out that the boss had changed. In the past, Special Assistant Lin also followed the boss, but they each had their own busy schedules. Fortunately, the boss always took Special Assistant Lin with him wherever he went. After being separated, we almost went to the bathroom together.

The two of them lived peacefully for a few days, but they didn't expect the accident to happen so quickly.

When Li Jibai received the call from Li Chu, he was in the midst of this quarter's financial meeting. Sitting on his right hand, Lin Shen saw his expression suddenly change from composure.

The meeting room was cleared quickly, and Lin Shen looked worried at the man standing by the window smoking.

"Li Linzhou is dead." Li Jibai crushed the smoke under his feet, and he no longer had the calmness before others, "The drug trafficker was shot dead by the Interpol on the spot." After a pause, he stared at Lin Shen, his voice distorted, "I have to go back. Shen, you stay here and don't go anywhere."

Obviously something happened to the Li family and someone died, but Li Jibai was inexplicably worried about this person in front of him.He didn't have time to think about it, and he couldn't get to the bottom of the reason. The most important thing right now was the matter of hope.

Lin Shen can't eat much these days. Aunt Su made his favorite snacks, but he just eats two mouthfuls and then gives up.In the huge Xianyue Villa, everyone is very quiet, revealing a kind of tranquility and crisis that is about to come.

Li Jibai hasn't come back since he left that day, only occasionally made two video calls, both late at night.The person in the video is blue-eyed and looks tired.

"Ah Shen, are you okay?" Li Jibai always started like this, and then there would be a long silence and sigh.During this period of time, he was busy with his nerves, trying to appease the Li family internally, cooperating with the investigation externally, and dealing with the suspicions of various gods.

Such a person who can shelter from the wind and rain, but when he sees Lin Shen's face, a trace of fragility suddenly emerges.

"Don't worry here, what's going on there?" Lin Shen heard a hint of distress in his own voice.

very bad.

Li Jibai smiled wryly, the incident happened so suddenly that he was caught off guard.Someone lured Li Jiangmu into smuggling while Li Qingluo was negotiating with Li Linzhou and his son in Australia. It was a little contraband at first, and the profit was three times higher than usual.Li Jiangmu didn't agree at first, he was not a fool, his father and elder brother were not around, so he couldn't bear the responsibility if something happened.

But the bad thing is that the old man recalled Li Jibai to take charge of the overall situation.As soon as someone with a heart provoked him, Li Jibai would sooner or later swallow words like "Wanghe" and so on. Li Jiangmu also wanted to get rid of the image of incompetence he had had for many years, and wanted to raise his head in front of his father and grandfather, so he took the risk.

The timing was also very good, Li Jibai left Nancheng on the front foot, Li Jiangmu had an accident on the back foot, and it happened on the two routes that Li Jibai and Li Linzhou exchanged at the beginning.

The contraband was turned into drugs disguised as health products and sent to the cargo ship.By the time Li Jiangmu found out, he was already on the verge of riding a tiger. He was coerced to either continue or stop, but no matter what, drug trafficking was already a fact, and he and Wanghe couldn't escape.He didn't dare to tell others, so he secretly called Li Linzhou.When Li Linzhou heard this, he was about to explode in anger. He immediately returned to Nancheng, trying to control the situation to a minimum.

So, without telling the old man and everyone else, the two brothers Li Linzhou and Li Jiangmu agreed to negotiate with a third party, and the location was set on the cargo ship on that route.

There is no impossible deal in the world, as long as you can afford the price.This is the truth that Li Linzhou has always believed in.But he forgot that some transactions are not for money, but for life.

The Li family brothers did not wait for a third party on the cargo ship, but they waited for Interpol.Drugs and firearms were exposed in the chaos, and the sudden siege also threw the Li brothers into disarray. Everything was chaotic, and everything seemed to be led by others, step by step towards the established ending: Li Linzhou was shot dead on the spot, Li Jiang Mu was arrested.

Wanghe has encountered an unprecedented crisis since its establishment.

When Li Jibai hurried back, all he was left with was a mess.Cooperate with the police to investigate related matters, quickly cut off several hoped-together industrial chains from shipping, appease and suppress the partners and other common interests who try to make trouble, and stabilize the emotionally broken uncle and the suddenly ill grandfather.

Stop loss is the most important thing right now.

"Someone made a very delicate round, and it took a long time to do it." Li Jibai's face was a bit dark from the video, and he sighed at Lin Shen, "The Li family has too many enemies, but It must be a big enemy to be able to do this. At present, it seems that it is aimed at the uncle’s family, but the accident happened on our previous route. It will take some time to find out.”

"Now... do you have any clues?" Lin Shen heard himself asking.

Li Jibai nodded, "There is a little clue, Lao Ding and the others are already investigating. But the most important thing right now is to separate the two routes from Wanghe and get Li Jiangmu out."

"I may not be able to go back in a short time. You can keep an eye on Hongbai. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me."

After explaining his business affairs, Li Jibai still didn't want to turn off the video.He looked at the person across from him a little bewilderedly, his face gradually relaxed, and he showed a long-lost smile.

"miss you."

Lin Shen: "..."

"If only I could turn you into a bead." Li Jibai squinted his eyes, he didn't know what he thought of, and laughed, "In this way, I can put you in my pocket and take you with me everywhere I go." .Nobody can see you."

Lin Shen: "..."

If it weren't for the video evidence, Lin Shen would have suspected that the person opposite had been raped by Li Zhu.

Li Jibai also felt that these words might not fit his personality, so he didn't continue.But today someone gave him a pink South Sea pearl of excellent quality, and he immediately thought of this.

And want to give it to Lin Shen.

Give Lin Shen all the good things he thinks.
