"If I hadn't bumped into you that day..." Lin Anqiao looked out the window thoughtfully, his deep eyes reflecting the gray-blue sky outside the window.The sun outside the window was still as bright as ever, especially thanks to the strong wind, the entire sky was free from smog and clouds.

"Then you won't be hurt." Yang Xi stared at the bruise marks on Lin Anqiao's waist and abdomen, feeling an indescribable sadness and guilt in his heart.After applying the medicine, Yang Xi tightened the large and small medicine bottles and put them in the medicine box.Lin Anqiao's upper body was still naked, because there were too many wounds.Yang Xi blushed and turned his gaze out of the window.

"In our line of work, injuries are common. If I hadn't bumped into each other that day, I wouldn't have had so many happy times." Lin Anqiao shrugged easily, but the existence of the wound caused a stinging pain from this movement , she instantly covered her shoulders.

Yang Xi's lips trembled, and she gently supported Lin Anqiao: "But what happened today was all caused by me."

Lin Anqiao's face immediately turned a little remorse and embarrassment after hearing this sentence.She coughed lightly and whispered, "It's not your fault what happened today, it's just my problem. I'm sorry."

"Sorry? Why?" Yang Xi frowned, tilting his head to look at Lin Anqiao's downcast eyes.

Lin Anqiao bit her lip until it turned white: "I said something wrong, my dad knows you know my gender."

Yang Xi sighed, and looked at Lin Anqiao calmly: "What you said is the truth, there is nothing wrong with it."

"But I shouldn't have said it, I shouldn't have said it! He was afraid that you would leak the secret, so he hired a killer to kill you - no matter how I explained to him, he wouldn't listen and insisted on killing you!" Lin Anqiao's tone became more and more agitated. , his face became paler and paler, and his chest heaved up and down.

Yang Xi firmly held Lin Anqiao's hand, stroked it lightly to express comfort, his face was still as calm as water.

"Death--everyone dies. If my death can restore your life to peace, it's worth it. But if I die, please help me take care of my grandma." Yang Xi's tone was so calm, It's as if you're telling someone else's story from the sidelines.

Hearing these words, Lin Anqiao's tears gushed out of her eyes like broken glass beads, and dripped onto the back of Yang Xi's fair hand.Yang Xi was taken aback when he saw that Lin Anqiao, who was so strong despite being seriously injured, was crying.There was an empty sadness in the air.

Lin Anqiao took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and looked at the farthest distance: "It's not your fault that I don't want you to die. He has no right to deprive any innocent life, nor does he have the right to make me alone. He has already controlled me Too many trajectories have caused me pain for too many years. Therefore, I will never give in on this matter, and I don’t want to back down again. Don’t worry, I will do my best to protect you, even if I die with you, it doesn’t matter , I should get out of this life that I hate."

Yang Xi clearly saw that Lin Anqiao's expression was so painful and determined when he said this, like a criminal sentenced to death.Lin Anqiao may have been facing trial all the time, but he didn't know it.

"You still have many relatives, what will happen to them after you die? My grandma is the only one for me." Yang Xi pursed his lips and asked hesitantly.

Lin Anqiao sneered, and looked at the wound on his shoulder: "Blood relatives are sometimes scarier than poisonous snakes. What's more, based on my father's actual interests, he will never take my life."

Yang Xi didn't speak.She knew that Lin Anqiao was right in thinking—Lin Wenlong would never kill Lin Anqiao by stealing the show.After all, the purpose of killing himself was to preserve Lin Anqiao's identity, so we had to distinguish between the primary and the secondary.

Lin Anqiao went on to say: "You live in my house, they can't come in my house. After that, you'd better be tied up with me all the time, so as not to be in danger. Just stepping out of the house will be very dangerous. Otherwise, I will ask my people to come in on time every day. send over......"

"Don't we ever go out?" Yang Xi thinks that this countermeasure is still not feasible.

Lin Anqiao fell silent immediately after hearing Yang Xi's question.People are not born as slaves, living in fear forever is worse than a horse, he thought of the theory of freedom mentioned in Chinese class.

"I also hired a few bodyguards. My father and I are separated, and they are quite reliable."

"But ginger is still old and spicy, and people's hearts will never be seen." Yang Xi shook his head.From her observations in the past few months and Lin Anqiao's narration, she felt that the water of the underworld was not so deep.Lin Wenlong might cause the people around Lin Anqiao to rebel at any time, after all, his power is much greater than Lin Anqiao's.

Lin Anqiao was silent again.Why is the knowledge learned at school not available at this moment?Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.The shadow of the function derivative momentum mechanical wave swirled and exploded in her mind, as if mocking.Is it true that the things in the school are as father said, meaningless?

No, she realized, because the circumstances in which she lived were meaningless.Lin Anqiao smiled palely.

"There is another way, which is to invite foreign aid to intervene in this matter." Several figures flashed before Lin Anqiao's eyes.

Yang Xi's eyes refocused, staring at Lin Anqiao's face seriously.

Lin Anqiao cleared his throat and said, "From a macro point of view, there are quite a few large groups that can confront Lin Yuanhui. Like Gerna and the others, the Zheng family from Qingdao..."

"And then?" Yang Xi looked away.

"Use this to counter-threat to go back." Lin Anqiao's mouth suddenly curled into a smile, his eyes narrowed slightly, showing a fox-like sly gaze, just like Lin Wenlong when he was young.

Gerna was leaning against the glass counter of Jin Dafu on the first floor of the Philharmonic Shopping Center, wearing a pair of stylish black sunglasses to hide her eye-catching beautiful eyes.She was wearing a dark blue suit and was checking current affairs news on her mobile phone.Passers-by around can clearly feel Gerna's extraordinary aura, and they will take a second look when passing by.Because of her outstanding appearance, Gerna has long been accustomed to everyone's gaze.It's not that I'm ugly, I just look at it, Gerna thought indifferently.

Gerna suddenly saw that the authorities had confirmed that all passengers on Malaysia Airlines 370 had been killed.She put down the phone, frowned and sighed softly.Lin Chong, one of her former business partners and suitors, was on that flight and unfortunately never heard from again.

Lin Chong also posted a circle of friends in October last year, excitedly saying that he would be able to return to Beijing soon.He even made an appointment with Gerna in advance, and he must have a small gathering after returning to Beijing.Perhaps, he also planned to propose at that private party.In the end, he didn't expect that he would never come back.

Life is so fragile, no one knows what is about to befall him.Although Lin Chong pursued himself unilaterally, Gerna didn't like him very much—even so, she still felt a kind of regret from the bottom of her heart.

No one can be indifferent to the misfortune of those around him, and so is the Iron Lady.

Gerna looked at the time, it was already 55:[-], and numbly put away her phone.After a while, another business meeting.This time, she will discuss the price of the nine tons of rough jade with Roy, the chairman of Roche Enterprises.Despite decades of reform and opening up, most of the Xinjiang region still makes a living from this relatively primitive industry.Although they are now trading non-renewable resources that will one day be exhausted, there is no way around it.New industries cannot be developed in a day or two, Gerna knows this well.Only by selling part of the resources to earn funds can the Xinjiang region have more opportunities for prosperity.The extremely uneven development of China's east and west is a big scar in everyone's heart.

Many jewelry companies wanted to get this batch of Hetian jade to make a good profit, but Gerna still gave the bonus to Roy who had cooperated for many years.Roy has also helped here a lot before, and Roy helped carry out the water delivery project to Yili.As the saying goes, if you don't forget the well digger when you drink water, you should pay back the favor. Gerna thinks so.

Through the sunglasses, she saw a group of well-dressed business people coming from the main entrance.There is no doubt that Roy is walking in the middle.

Gerna immediately put a warm smile on her face, took off her sunglasses, and walked towards Roy and the others: "Mr. Luo, good morning."

Roy also smiled all over his face: "It's been a long time since Miss Gerna, she's getting more and more beautiful!"

Gerna blinked her eyes, and a fake blush appeared on her cheeks: "Oh, you can really talk. These two are..." She looked at the people on both sides of Roy, feeling puzzled in her heart.Because, one of the girls looks like she's underage.

"This is my assistant, Wang Shan." It was a woman about 40 years old, wearing a very serious formal attire, as if she would never laugh.

"Hello." Gerna shook hands with her.

"This is my daughter, Luo Yan." Roy patted the shoulder of the young girl beside him and explained with a smile.Luo Yan combed short shoulder-length hair and playful air bangs, her curved eyes seemed to be smiling all the time, which made Gerna feel very cute and refreshing.Gerna hadn't seen such a face for a long time, pure as white paper, calm as white water.

Gerna immediately understood, and nodded with a smile: "I said, why does it look so small, but it looks so sweet and has a good temperament."

Roy burst into laughter after hearing this praise, and looked at his daughter: "It's far worse than you."

Luo Yan's eyes narrowed like a beautiful crescent moon, and a round lying silkworm appeared in front of her eyes: "Thank you sister for your compliment." Those eyes were as clear and moving as a pool of spring water.

Gerna looked at Luo Yan who was wearing a chiffon shirt, and felt very attractive.It would be great if all the kids from rich families were like this girl, pure and lovely, comforting, without a trace of trouble.

"Then let's go to the top floor to discuss in detail, how about it? I have reserved a private room." Gerna cut to the point again.

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry to trouble you." Although Roy knew that Gerna was almost ten years younger than him, he still didn't dare to give up his respectful title.

Gerna is young, but the water is deep.
