Deer in the forest

Lin Shen began to live in the room.

It is said to be a house, but in fact it is similar to Guan.Li Jibai didn't expressly restrict his movements, but he knew the rules, and it was a gift not to leave him in the basement, so he never left his room, and he didn't even go to the restaurant downstairs.

From that day on, he never saw Li Jibai again.

A lot of things happened later, he didn't ask and didn't want to know, but words still leaked into his ears occasionally.Aunt Su delivered three meals a day to the room herself, she didn't say much, she just kept sighing, her eyes were full of distress.Luo Yi would bring the doctor regularly, watching the man silently.

Aunt Su once mentioned by chance that Master Jiang was sent back to country M by her husband, which means that Master Jiang didn't want to leave and was forced to get on the plane by her husband.As for Wei Qidong, on the first day he was discharged from the hospital, he ran to Hongbai's dignitaries, but when the husband disappeared, he led people to kill him directly at the villa, calling for Lin Shen to be taken away.

Li Jibai became furious, and the two sides almost fought in the villa.

Afterwards, Li Jibai stepped up the security of Xianyue Villa, and transferred back a few competent people who were scattered around.Wei Shi and Hongbai were at war for a while, and had to step on each other in various business fields to be reconciled.

When Lin Shen heard this, he didn't see any reaction.Seeing that the flesh on his face was almost gone, Aunt Su sighed silently, and simply sat opposite him, staring at him for a few more bites before leaving.

Li Jibai has been very angry recently, moody and unsympathetic.

Wei Qidong wanted someone, but he didn't give it to him. After the two of them broke up, neither one would give the other face.Wei Qidong, a lunatic, released the video in the warehouse, and now it's all over. Almost everyone in the circle has seen what happened to Lin Shen in the warehouse, and the talk and gossip are overwhelming for a while.

During a social gathering, someone who didn't know how to open his eyes mentioned this matter, and said in a dirty tone: "Look at his appearance, he is really attractive, even my straightness is hard to see."

"Yeah, but he was covered in blood in the end, and I don't know if Wei Qidong can do it." Another person echoed.

"But I haven't seen Hongbai for a long time, is something wrong?"

"How can there be any face to come out? Who here has never seen him without clothes? The Li family has no face. They must be hiding."

A few people were chatting enthusiastically, and suddenly the surrounding area became strangely quiet.Li Jibai walked over with a livid face, his eyes were so gloomy that ice could condense.Everyone immediately shut up and greeted awkwardly.

That night, the few people who had broken mouths were cleaned up, some were robbed on the way home, some were dragged out of the house, and when they were put back, they were beaten so badly that even their own mothers Can't recognize it.

The method was direct and brutal, without any concealment, and it was short of engraving on the face that it was the Li family's work.No one dared to call the police, and no one dared to pursue it.

Gradually, Li Jibai didn't even bother to put on a show of hypocrisy and superficial politeness among businessmen in the business field, and no one dared to talk about it after that.Of course, this is something.

Li Jibai was already on fire, but after watching the video, he even trembled with anger.

He didn't expect Wei Qidong to be such a bastard, nor did he expect Lin Shen to be so cruel to him.

In fact, what he could think of, Lin Shen's character, and his reaction to things, how could he not know.But without the bloody picture laid out in front of him, he has been deceiving himself and others.The impact of the video was too strong, and he would inevitably think of what happened to Lin Shen in the winery room that night, and why he was injured all over his body.

Regret is like a mountain torrent, you can't feel it when you first come, but suddenly it rushes down with mud, sand, mountains and rocks, making it impossible for people to dodge.

He recalled the days in Country M again after a long absence. The young man was obviously nervous to die, but he still raised his face and confessed desperately. That was probably the only time Lin Shen showed his emotions.If you don't love someone to the bottom of your heart, then it's hard for a person who is cautious in words and deeds to speak!

How did he answer it?He said no.

He came back from a social event and drank a little too much, so when he found out, he had already reached the door of Lin Shen's room.

Pushing open the door, I saw the man sitting on the sofa in the corner.I haven't seen him for more than ten days. He has lost a lot of weight, and his face is unhealthy white.Hearing the movement, Lin Shen opened his eyes, without emotion or reaction, just glanced at it lightly, then turned his head away.

Resist talking.

Li Jibai's calmness and calmness in front of others once again failed Lin Shen.

He took two deep breaths, pushing down the air that was stuck in his heart.He can't say the words to apologize, and he won't show weakness.These two things never happened in his life.

So the opening is still the usual understatement: "The matter is settled, you can go back to work after taking two days off!" After a pause, he said, "It's okay to take two more days off."

Lin Shen seemed deaf and didn't respond at all.

He huddled in the sofa, obviously close to 1.8 meters in height, but like a small animal, so fragile that it would shatter when touched.

"I didn't think carefully about the previous matter." Li Jibai looked at the little animal in front of him, and his voice softened, "Let's end this matter here!"

That's it again.

It means that I know I was wrong, so please stop making trouble, and just pretend it never happened!

This tone is too familiar, Li Jibai dragged him to bed when he drank too much, and that's the end of what he said afterwards.

An antique clock in the room was ticking. It was bought by Li Jibai from the antique market back then. Lin Shen liked it very much and hung it in his room all the time.Now, this rhythmic beating sound is like a heavy hammer, hitting Lin Shen's body one after another, smashing every bone in him to pieces.

"You said—" The voice that had been silent for a long time was a little hoarse, and even he was startled when he spoke, an expression that Li Jibai had never seen before appeared on Lin Shen's face, he couldn't tell what it was, it was a little faint The sarcasm, as if Li Jibai's words were all in his expectation, "You won't trade the people around you for benefits, because the benefits are not attractive enough!"

It was the first time he questioned, he didn't save any face, Li Jibai's eyes darkened as soon as he said the words.

He said this. When Wei Qidong first showed signs of wanting Lin Shen, they bathed Brook one morning and sat in front of the dog house. Li Jibai had promised so.

He had long forgotten.With his state of mind at the time, it is true that no benefit can compare with Lin Shen.what about now?Now how did he push Lin Shen out step by step?

Li Jibai closed his eyes and had nothing to say.

"You still said—" Lin Shen turned his head and smiled, his eyes were empty and his body was cold, "If this kind of thing happened to you, you would do the same thing as Senior Brother Shen."

That's right, Li Jibai remembered that Shen Junhuai himself said the same thing the night he avenged his abused lover.

But now, he did the opposite of Shen Junhuai.Both of them understood in their hearts that the reason was very simple. Lin Shen was not his lover, he might be a subordinate, a colleague, or an adopted younger brother. In short, he was an irrelevant person.

Li Jibai would not allow his lover to be bullied, but Lin Shen was not in his heart.

No, Li Jibai denied it in his heart, obviously not.He wanted to refute, but for the first time felt that he lacked words.

"I have no right to be angry. It's because I didn't complete the task." Lin Shen muttered to himself, a tear suddenly slipped down, half of his face was hidden in the shadow, so no one noticed.

There were dense pains all over his body, and his heart seemed to be pricked into a hedgehog by invisible soft thorns. The person he loved since he was 18 years old pushed him into the abyss with his own hands.

Now, he wants to crawl out and live as a human being.

More than ten days have passed, and he has calmed down from the messy emotions of humiliation, anger, grief, and bewilderment. At least he feels that he will not collapse again.But he still overestimated his self-control ability when facing Li Jibai.

So after a brief breakdown, he forced himself to calm down: "I know the video has been streamed, otherwise... I'll hand over the work first."

"Alright," Li Jibai's voice was very deep, hitting Lin Shen's heart word by word, "It's really not suitable to go out to work now, Wei Qidong is also looking for you, why don't you just stay at home and rest for a while."

"Sir," Lin Shen said with a cold face and a firm tone, "I mean, I'm not suitable for the job here, and I don't care if I become a laughing stock or something, but Wei Qidong won't let me go easily, I will only give to you if I stay. Hongbai is causing trouble." When he said this, he obviously paused, and threw out what he wanted to say most, "So, I want you to let me go."

"What did you say?" It was rare for Li Jibai to hear him say so many words at one time, but after rounding up automatically in his mind, he only heard the sentence "I want to leave".He calmed down for a few seconds, and then he seemed to understand: "Okay, if you are worried about this, I will ask Luo Yi to take you to country M to avoid the limelight, and come back in two or three months."

Lin Shen knew it would be difficult to speak out, but he really couldn't face Li Jibai anymore: "I don't want to come back again."

The air froze for a moment.

The man sitting in the corner looked fragile, but actually exuded a decisive aura, making people have to face up to his decision.

Li Jibai looked at him, his eyes gradually turned cold: "Do you want to leave the Li family?"

"Yes!"

"Just because of this, you want to leave me?" Li Jibai couldn't believe it.

"Yes," Lin Shen did not back down. He knew the consequences of having a conflict with Li Jibai, but no matter what the consequences were, there was nothing worse than throwing them at others.

"When you left me to Wei Qidong back then, didn't you think about what would happen? If I hadn't escaped—" Lin Shen never said such a thing, sarcastically belittling himself, "I would either He will die on Wei Qidong's bed within a month, or he will be completely useless in a month. No matter what the outcome is, it is impossible to come back to Hongbai to work. Even if I don't die, even if you want, I will not come back, no Will come back to you again."

What kind of decision is made, what kind of consequences must be borne.A truth that all adults understand, why should Li Jibai be an exception.

Without Li Jibai, Lin Shen's plan that has been planned for many years will not be delayed.The game has been done, and based on his understanding and research on Li Qingluo over the years, he, like Jiang Hai, can put him to death simply and neatly, and it has little to do with whether Lin Shen is by Li Jibai's side or not.

The reason why he didn't do anything before was because Lin Shen had concerns, and was worried that Hong Bai would be involved to some extent.As for now, Lin Shen is not the Holy Mother, so he should worry about himself first.

Li Jibai stared at him without saying a word.

Lin Shen knew that this person was at the limit of his anger, but he still gritted his teeth and went forward: "For the sake of... I've been with you for so many years, we get together so well, let me go."

"Crack", the antique clock fell on the wall that Lin Shen was leaning against, and the ground was covered with wreckage, and the small shattered particles splashed on Lin Shen's face, causing a scorching pain.

Li Jibai's patience was exhausted, and he wanted to ease the relationship between the two of them this time, and also wanted to show his goodwill, but what he didn't want was the result of Lin Shen's desire to break up.

Li Jibai took a step forward, grabbed Lin Shen by the collar, lifted him up, tore off his calm and calm disguise, and said ruthlessly, "Whether you want to leave or not, only I want to let go. Want to leave? Even if you If you die, you will die in this room."
