Deer in the forest

Lin Shen came out of school and looked at his phone. It was still 5 minutes away.

He was not in a hurry, and slowly walked into a cafe next to the school, and found a corner to sit down.Most of the shoppers who come to this shop are students, and it is not after school yet, so there are few customers, and the shop looks deserted.

Not long after, the wind chimes rang by the door, and a middle-aged man with a medium build and a cropped head walked in.

There was a scar above the man's left eyebrow, which cut off the entire brow shape, making that expressionless face look a bit fierce, with the bloody smell of real experience of killing.He walked across from Lin Shen, sat down naturally, and called the waiter for a glass of American style, and then greeted the person opposite.

"It's really hard to meet each other." The man rolled his eyes around Lin Shen's face, showing a moderate smile, and asked, "Is everything going well?"

Lin Shen called out respectfully: "Uncle Hai." Then he said that everything went well.

Soft jazz music was flowing in the store, blocking the conversation between the two.Judging from the expressions of the two of them, the content of the topic should not be so easy.

"You are right in rejecting Li Qingluo's proposal to return to China. He regards you as the key to bringing down Li Jibai, and wants to get Hongbai into his pocket. Li Jibai will not let it go, and the two are bound to have conflicts in the future. When there is chaos, it is more conducive for us to do things secretly." Jiang Hai took a sip of coffee, felt that it was not sweet enough, and put another piece of sugar.

"If you continue to follow Li Jibai, the Li family will not suspect you easily." Jiang Hai said that if he stayed in Nancheng, his goal would be too big, which would not be conducive to his next plan. "We have planned for so long. Once the plan is implemented, it will be fatal. We must not hesitate, and we must not leave Li Qingluo alive."

Lin Shen pushed a plate of Portuguese egg tarts towards Jiang Hai, "Uncle Hai, I know, I won't soften my heart."

Jiang Hai raised his eyebrows, "I know you won't be soft-hearted towards Li Qingluo, but I'm afraid you will be soft-hearted towards others."

Lin Shen sighed, "Although he is also from the Li family, it has nothing to do with this matter."

Jiang Hai thought that you were too naive, "So what? So you plan to pick him out completely before doing anything?"

Lin Shen remained silent, as if he had acquiesced to the other party's meaning.During this period of time, he took advantage of the handover to bury people on that line, and only waited for the right time to strike a fatal blow.Their plan has been delayed again and again, and he just hopes to wait until Wanghe takes over all the sea transportation lines and has nothing to do with Hongbai before doing it.

In this way, it is easy for Li Jibai to deal with both public and private affairs.

It was also the last thing he did for Li Jibai before he left.

But Jiang Hai exposed him mercilessly, "Once something happens to Li Qingluo, we will be the enemies of the Li family. Do you think Li Jibai will let you go if it doesn't matter?"

"Why? Just because you love him?"

As the atmosphere cooled down, Lin Shen pursed his lips and remained silent.

Knowing that the words were serious, Jiang Hai breathed a sigh of relief: "I know you don't want to involve Li Jibai, but I don't want to either. One Li Qingluo is difficult enough to deal with, and we can't make any more troubles."

"Ah Shen, once the task is completed, you must leave immediately." Jiang Hai emphasized again.

Lin Shen nodded: "I understand."

With his assurance, Jiang Hai breathed a sigh of relief.

"I dreamed about your father two days ago, and told me to take good care of you. You are his only son. If something happens to you again, I will have no face to see him in the future." Jiang Hai fell into the memories, and curled his lips in self-deprecating manner .

Jiang Hai couldn't stay for a long time. Before leaving, he had an agreement with Lin Shen. He also used the previous email address and left a new emergency contact method before leaving.

Two days later, Lin Shen returned to Country T alone.

Li Zhu originally wanted to go with him, but the old man caught the cold, so Li Zhu temporarily stayed to accompany his grandfather.

The night before his departure, Li Chu opened a bottle of red wine in Lin Shen's room, and the two chatted while drinking.He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that Li Zhu seemed hesitant to speak.

When Li Zhu put on the appearance of Qi Qiai Ai for the third time, Lin Shen asked, "What's wrong with you? Tell me what you have to say."

As soon as Li Zhu heard this, he immediately started to play dumb again, "It's nothing, I'm a little bit reluctant that you're leaving now! I'm a little bit worried that you will go back by yourself and have to face those messy things alone."

Lin Shen didn't know the meaning behind Li Chu's words at this time, he only said that work was business, there was no such thing as nonsense, and he was a big man, so there was nothing to worry about.

When they went to the airport the next day, Li Zhu insisted on seeing him off in person. When the two said goodbye at the airport, Li Zhu put his arms around Lin Shen's shoulders and said, "Ah Shen, you are not small anymore. In the long run, talk about love when you should, and don't delay yourself for work. Also, if you encounter some annoying people and things, don't take it to your heart. We don't see what we see, so don't wrong yourself. "

Seeing that he was serious about what he said, Lin Shen felt a little uncomfortable in his heart as he was not acting like he was fooling around in the past.But still smiled and chatted with him for a few words, and then said goodbye and entered the security check.

It was Jon who picked it up.On the way back, Lin Shen simply asked, "Is the villa okay recently?" After getting the answer that everything was normal, the two of them were speechless.

As soon as the car drove into the basement, Lin Shen found the gray Lamborghini supercar.It's no wonder that he was able to spot it at the first glance. It was because the car was parked too conspicuously.This car is not Li Jibai's style, and it probably wasn't his new car, so someone came here.

Lin Shen went upstairs with his luggage, tidied up briefly, and went to the study to find Li Jibai.

He walked to the door, raised his hand and knocked on the door twice.

There were faint footsteps in the room, the door was opened, and a smiling face appeared behind the door, "Long time no see, Ah Shen."

Jiang Ning leaned against the door, turned his back to Li Jibai behind him, looked at Lin Shen with amused eyes, and saw a flash of surprise and pain in the eyes of the other party with satisfaction, and listened to the other party's mechanical words for a while. He replied "Mr. Jiang, long time no see".He lowered his head and chuckled, his beautiful eyebrows and eyes were the same as before, and his smile was captivating.Then he turned around and said to Li Jibai: "Jibai, I'm going out first, it's important for you to talk about business."

Lin Shen was in a trance for a moment, until he saw Li Jibai behind the desk, and managed to stabilize his mind.He forced himself to concentrate, and reported in detail the progress in Nancheng. After finishing, he lowered his eyebrows and listened to the instructions.

"There will be an art exhibition next month, and Jiang Ning will live here for a while. Jiang's family wants to open up the T country market, we can intervene, and you can follow up on some follow-up work." After Li Jibai explained the work, he looked a little With a tired and pale face, he paused in his heart, and said: "You just came back, so you can rest at home for two days."

Lin Shen cheered up and replied "Okay".

The room fell silent for a moment.It wasn't until Li Jibai gave him a strange look that he suddenly realized that the work report was over and he should have left just now.

He looked at Li Jibai with some questioning eyes, adjusted his posture calmly, and walked away slowly.

I suppressed the sentence that I almost blurted out just now: Have you and Mr. Jiang got back together?

He knew that he was not qualified and had no position to ask.

He straightened his back and walked steadily and vigorously until he pushed open the door of his room.He rubbed his face with his hands, walked slowly to the balcony sofa and sat down, closed his eyes, the shell that he had quickly disguised the moment he saw Jiang Ning finally cracked piece by piece, and there was only one signal repeatedly in his blank brain.

——Jiang Ning is back.

Memories about Jiang Ning are not always good.It's like a thorn, pierced deep in your heart. It's not a big problem if you don't think about it on weekdays, but as long as you think about it, you will feel that the blood in your whole body is flowing through the heart, bringing out an unstoppable tingling sensation.

Jiang Ning was Li Jibai's boyfriend when he was in H University, and the only person he ever admitted to being a lover.

Unlike most children of the rich and powerful, Li Jibai's life abroad can be described as simple. Except for occasional relaxation and clubbing, he rarely plays around, and has a full schedule of study and work every day.But young people in their early 20s always have strong physical needs. Li Jibai would take people home from time to time, but those people always disappeared from their lives very quickly.

Until Jiang Ning appeared.

Jiang Ning is the son of a famous jeweler in country M, and he is also studying at University H, in the same class as Li Jibai.His family is rich, he was well-raised since he was a child, and his appearance and temperament are top-notch in the surrounding area.He and Li Jibai met at a school exchange meeting, and gradually became good friends.It was later discovered that the elders of the Li family and the Jiang family had had business contacts for a long time, and the intersection of the two became more and more. I don't know who was moved first, and the two naturally came together.

Jiang Ning also knew Lin Shen. He was polite on the surface, but he didn't take Lin Shen seriously, and only regarded him as Li Jibai's little follower.

He would come to the small villa every weekend to spend two days of leisure with Li Jibai.At this time, Lin Shen stayed in his room to study, trying to avoid the two of them and give them space to be alone.

There were a few times when they made a lot of noise at night, Lin Shen came out to drink water, and met Jiang Ning coming out of Li Jibai's room disheveled and covered in marks all over his body.Although he was young, he knew a little bit about this kind of thing, his face flushed immediately, he hurriedly said hello and ran back to his room.The next day, he didn't dare to raise his eyes to look at Jiang Ning and Li Jibai.

The three of them got along so peacefully for a year, there would be no problem at all, if that incident hadn't happened.

——If it hadn't been for what happened later, if he hadn't fallen in love with Li Jibai, maybe Jiang Ning and Li Jibai wouldn't have broken up, and they are still a good couple in the eyes of others.

Now Lin Shen knows the meaning behind Li Zhu's hesitation, so he knows everything.He knew that Jiang Ning was back, and he also knew that he loved Li Jibai.

The continuous rotation in Nancheng and more than 5 hours of flying made him exhausted, sleepiness hit him, interrupting Lin Shen's memories, and he finally fell asleep in an unquenchable restlessness.

Lin Shen was awakened by Brook's cry.

Brooke's dog house is not far from the window of Lin Shen's room. The sound of laughter and dog barking seemed to come from a distant place, and then gradually became clear.He rubbed his eyes, stood up and walked to the window.

The afternoon was sunny, and Brook covered his body with foam and had fun on the grass. Li Jibai rolled up his sleeves and washed him with the shower, while Jiang Ning laughed and teased Brook with toys.

Lin Shen blinked vigorously, staring fixedly at the scene outside the window, maybe the sun was too glaring, he couldn't keep his eyes open for a while.

Jiang Ning grabbed a lot of foam from Brooke, turned around and threw it on Li Jibai. Li Jibai said something, with a helpless and indulgent smile on his face, as if he wanted to spray him with a shower. Being dodged by Jiang Ning, the two played with each other.

The person who has admitted his identity really has the confidence, and he never dared to make trouble with Li Jibai like this.

Holding a mentality that he would not be discovered anyway, Lin Shen let himself stare at the man outside the window. Li Jibai's face showed a rare tenderness, a person who is usually so restrained and calm, he really is still in love The soft core will be revealed in front of people!

He was dazed in his own thoughts, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that the two people outside the window stopped moving. It should be Jiang Ning who first spotted Lin Shen standing by the window, and then called Li Jibai, who did not know what he said , Li Jibai waved at him and made a "come here" gesture.

When Lin Shen faced them again, he had completely adjusted his mood and mentality, and returned to his usual state.

Li Jibai saw that his face was no longer tired, and his mood also eased. He threw the shower in his hand to Lin Shen, and said, "I'm going out for a while, so you should wash it." Then he turned around after taking two steps, complaining, "Brooke is spoiled by you, you don't let others bathe him, it's almost dirty to death."

It had been almost a month since they left the villa, and Brooke was so dirty that the servants in the middle also tried to come to bathe him, but they were so overwhelmed by it that they had to give up.Lin Shenguang felt it was funny when he thought about it, he licked the big dog that had jumped into his arms, and lightly reprimanded: "Yes, you are the worst."

Jiang Ning glanced at him with a half-smile, and took a step forward, "Ah Shen, I'll stay and help you!"

Lin Shen said politely, "Then thank you, Mr. Jiang."

The two of them finally managed to get Brook neat. Lin Shen packed up his tools and was about to leave when Jiang Ning called out, "Ah Shen, sit down and have a chat!"

Lin Shen hesitated for a moment, and was about to say something, but Jiang Ning sat down. He patted the floor next to him, raised his head and said pointedly: "Sit down, or I will think you are deliberately avoiding me."

Lin Shen could only sit down.

Jiang Ning looked at Lin Shen who was on guard, and smiled: "I came back this time, saying it was work, but actually it was for one thing, to get back together with Ji Bai." Then he said, "Actually, this kind of thing has nothing to do with you. , after all... you are just his assistant."

Lin Shen tightened his grip on the shower, but said nothing.

"However, we will be together for a long time in the future. I don't want something to come between me and Ji Bai, making me uncomfortable and making you uncomfortable." Jiang Ning stared at Lin Shen's side face, it was a picture that made him feel uncomfortable. Also jealous but the master didn't know his face, moved closer, and said maliciously, "Actually, I really don't want to see you, when I see you, I think of what you did , The dove occupies the magpie's nest, it is a shameless act."

Jiang Ning smiled, as if he was joking with a friend from a distance, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have broken up with Ji Bai impulsively, causing us to regret."

"Mr. Jiang," Lin Shen's eyes turned cold, he sat a little further away, and kept a social distance from the other party, turned his head to meet Jiang Ning's eyes, and said word by word, "No one can influence Mr.'s decision. Why do you Breaking up, you should ask him or yourself directly, it has nothing to do with me. Also, everything I do is my own business, and it is not your turn to comment."

"In addition, whether as an assistant or a colleague, I know my position. I hope that you, Mr. Jiang, can also find your correct position, instead of talking harshly to me here. It is meaningless and it seems that you are not educated."

Lin Shen: I only give in to Brother Jibai, you Jiang Ning is a bird.
