Lin Anqiao didn't know when he fell asleep, and he didn't even remember the dream.As soon as he opened his eyes, a dazzling sun broke through the sky.The thin quilt was warmed by the sun from the south window, like a piece of apple pie just out of the oven.

It turned out that I slept until dawn.No matter how long and terrible the night is, it will eventually pass, and sometimes you don't even know how it passed.But the seemingly endless night did pass like this.

Lin Anqiao rubbed his head, surprisingly found that it didn't hurt, so he got up slowly.

As soon as the phone's standard ringtone rang, Lin Anqiao saw the two big characters "Yangxi" flashing.She pressed the answer button without hesitation, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth inadvertently.

"Are you okay?" Yang Xi's voice on the other end of the phone revealed a trace of worry and tension.

"I'm fine," Lin Anqiao said in as relaxed a tone as possible, "Yesterday my dad asked me to do business with him, but I declined."

There was a pause on the other end of the phone and asked, "Why did you refuse?"

Lin Anqiao suddenly felt dry mouth and hot face: "I... think it's more important to make up lessons."

"You are really a good student who is eager to learn," Yang Xi said without any doubt in his tone, "See you tomorrow." After finishing speaking, the phone hung up silently.

That's right, it was only then that Lin Anqiao remembered that tomorrow is the first day of make-up classes.Tomorrow——should be a new starting point......Tomorrow I can go back to school again, escape from this empty life, escape from this...

While thinking about it, the cell phone rang again disappointingly, interrupting Lin Anqiao's fugue.

Lin Anqiao frowned impatiently, but opened her mouth in surprise when she saw the name on the screen.The word "Lin Qiu" suddenly appeared on it.

Lin Qiu?Why is she calling me?Lin Anqiao stiffened his expression uncomfortably.

But she answered the phone anyway.

"An Qiao, can you come out now?" A generous but familiar female voice came from the other end of the phone.

Feeling her heart beating faster, Lin Anqiao asked hesitantly, "What are you doing?"

"I have something urgent to tell you, it's very important!" Lin Qiu's usually soft and gentle voice suddenly trembled.

Lin Anqiao felt something was wrong, and had a bad premonition spontaneously.Based on her judgment of the past, Lin Qiu was indeed a good person, and she probably would not harm herself, so she quickly agreed: "Okay, where are we going?"

"The Shangdao Coffee on Luoxi Avenue, come here quickly."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Anqiao quickly dressed and washed while thinking.

Lin Qiu is Lin Dong's elder sister, the eldest daughter of his second uncle Lin Wenhu, and his own cousin.She is short and fat, with a generous and pleasant round face and round eyes, and a gentle and generous personality. She is an honest and shining girl anyway.But because of the relationship between the two families, Lin Wenhu didn't want to see himself forced on Lin Qiu, even though Lin Qiu liked Lin Anqiao very much.

Therefore, restricted by public hatred, Lin Qiu almost never called Lin Anqiao to have fun together.Lin Wenhu never paid attention to Lin Anqiao, let alone the timid Lin Dong.

Lin Anqiao was even cut off from Lin Wenhu's family.

Lin Qiu is kind, and Lin Qiu is gentle. Lin Qiu likes Lin Anqiao a lot, but his father hates Lin Anqiao.Therefore, Lin Qiu never dared to have a cordial and friendly conversation with Lin Anqiao, and could only bring some small gifts to Lin Anqiao in private.

But today Lin Qiu actually called himself, which made Lin Anqiao suspicious.

He gripped his phone tightly and stepped out of the house.

From a distance, with eagle-like eyes, Lin Anqiao saw Lin Qiu wearing sunglasses and a big sun hat sitting in the most inconspicuous position in the coffee shop.On the tea table in front of Lin Qiu, there was a cup of latte that she barely drank, and the corners of her mouth drooping clearly showed her anxiety.

Lin Qiu's current attire looks like a spy, and if it is normal, it will definitely make Lin Anqiao laugh.But now is a special period, and she can't laugh no matter what.

Lin Anqiao also got up cautiously, bowed her head silently and walked over.

"You don't want to go to Beijing with your father."

Lin Qiu's first sentence surprised Lin Anqiao from ear to ear.

Lin Anqiao was stunned for a while, and said, "I...won't go to Beijing, what are you going to do in Beijing?" When telling this lie, Lin Anqiao felt very guilty and pathetic.

Lin Qiu frowned slightly on his sunglasses.She sighed and said, "You don't have to hide it from me, I know you are going to Beijing to 'sneak'." Her voice was very low, very hoarse.

In an instant, Lin Anqiao's face burned so hot that he didn't even dare to look directly at Lin Qiu, and could only sit blankly on his seat.

"Let me tell you, you will be arrested as soon as you go to Beijing to trade." Lin Qiu's voice became a little trembling again.

Lin Anqiao was even more puzzled when he heard such an affirmative tone, and suddenly raised his head and asked, "How do you know?"

Hearing this question, Lin Qiu slightly lifted his generous cheeks, as if he was looking at something.Immediately afterwards, she leaned slightly, approached Lin Anqiao, and spoke with the smallest voice.

"This is what my father planned."

In a word, it hit Lin Anqiao's head like a bolt from the blue.She felt a little dizzy, as if everything in the universe was spinning.is this real?Are the brothers actually planning to kill each other and plot against each other?She felt her worldview had been upended.But judging from Lin Qiu's demeanor and tone, this is definitely not false information.

"Ah..." Lin Anqiao felt his lips were dry, his jaw was numb, and he couldn't speak.

But Lin Qiu had already seen her doubts and surprises from Lin Anqiao's expression, he sighed, and for a moment, crystal tears flashed across his cheeks.

"You are a talented student, think about it, is it possible for the price to rise by 70.00% in just one month? It is possible, but it can only be done manually."

A series of numbers quickly spun in Lin Anqiao's mind, and he was calculating quickly.It suddenly dawned on her—according to the linear programming and the estimated growth of the number of drug addicts, the increase in one year would not be able to reach this level.And now it has risen by 70.00% in just one month, which is simply a fantasy!

Lin Anqiao opened her eyes wide, looked at Lin Qiu's tightly pursed lips, and took a deep breath: "You're right."

"To tell you the truth, my father secretly purchased several tons of D-14 in stock with hundreds of fake identities, creating a temporary false impression that the supply is in short supply. This is why the current trend of soaring prices tempts your father. When you arrive in Beijing to trade , the special police who got the secret whistle and ambushed there in advance will arrest you. Because he dropped out of school halfway and lacked math knowledge, my dad predicted that he would probably be recruited-who knew he would be recruited so easily, and he planned to delay You go into the water. You know, when someone manipulates secretly, the chances of getting out of prison are very small."

Lin Anqiao felt a chill down his spine.She didn't expect the second uncle's humanity to be wiped out to such an extent.For his own benefit, he will do anything and be cruel, even if he persecutes his own brother.

"Why... why did you tell me this?" Lin Anqiao was very grateful to Lin Qiu, but at the same time puzzled.Once this secret is revealed, it will cause the plan to fail.

Although blocked by the sunglasses, Lin Anqiao could clearly feel the sadness in Lin Qiu's eyes.

"My dad has a good conscience, but I can't. I can't just watch you spend the rest of your life in prison with ideals and aspirations. And you know, I have always been very optimistic about you. I think you will definitely be better than me when you take over Lin Yuan. That cowardly brother is strong."

Lin Anqiao didn't know whether to be sad or sad.She showed a pale smile and nodded: "Sister Lin Qiu, I will not go to Beijing with my father. My conscience can't bear it either." After finishing speaking, Lin Anqiao pointed to her heart.There is a never-ending beating, and bright red blood is meandering - that is indeed blood with a conscience.

"That would be great. If you can persuade your dad, it's fine, after all, he shouldn't be under such insidious schemes." Lin Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, and his brows slightly relaxed.

Lin Anqiao froze with some hesitation, narrowed his eyes and looked out the window.She felt like a mess in her heart, which had a beginning but never ended.

"it is good......"

As soon as she got home, Lin Anqiao sat cross-legged on the bed, rubbing the phone on her lap.She thought, as a father's child, she had the obligation to ensure that her father was not harmed, and she should tell him about it.

but--

Does the father see himself as his child?Lin Anqiao couldn't remember how many times his father had slapped her and kicked her mercilessly to the fighting training ground, and he couldn't remember how he bluntly deprived her of her hobbies.She felt that to her father, she was probably an indispensable chess piece, a pathetic prop.What's more, my father has no conscience and is full of bad deeds. If he stays in the society, he may also endanger the society——

But he is his father after all!Lin Anqiao felt a splitting headache and fell into a dilemma.

Then tell father.Tell him and let him decide for himself.After all, Lin Anqiao was dragged down by the so-called fetters of family affection.

She dialed the phone.After it rang for less than ten seconds, Lin Wenlong answered it readily.

"Have you figured it out, kid?" Lin Wenlong's voice on the other end of the phone was cold, like dry ice piled up in a laboratory.

Lin Anqiao's voice trembled: "Father, you can't go to Beijing to trade, you will be arrested..."

"Get out!" Lin Wenlong's voice immediately became furious, and he hung up the phone after a roar.

Lin Anqiao froze in place, at a loss.She wanted to try calling Lin Wenlong again, but found that she was blacklisted by her father.The hollow "di" sound on the other end of the phone brought Lin Anqiao into an endless abyss.

After being stunned for several minutes, Lin Anqiao closed his eyes, and burst into a horrified laugh.She laughed so that her eyebrows trembled, the corners of her mouth were stiff, and her apple muscles twitched uncontrollably.

"Hahahahaha! You have done your best to him..." Lin Anqiao said loudly to himself, and at the same time beat the bed board with his hard fist, making a crackling sound.Although she was laughing, laughing wildly, her face was covered with tears.

Her eyes were blurred, as if snow had begun to fall in the sky.
