Deer in the forest

Li Jibai moved very quickly, causing Li Zifeng's plan to die before it even started.This time he was cruel and sent someone to guard the old man the whole time, as if you were inhumane and I was injustice.

He made a false alarm, and was even more cautious with Lin Shen.

Frustrated in love, but smooth sailing in the workplace.

Near the end of the year, the old president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in the capital resigned. After several twists and turns, the position of the new president was acquired by Li Jibai.

Li Jibai holds the two major groups of Hongbai and Wanghe in his hands, and has a good relationship with the high-level political circles in the capital. He has long wanted to be the chairman.In fact, the chamber of commerce has always been divided into two factions. One faction is headed by new forces supporting Li Jibai, and its scope of involvement is mostly commercial real estate, new energy, and innovative technology, which have been gaining momentum in recent years.The other faction is the old-fashioned capital headed by the Wei family. Originally, Wei Qidong was Li Jibai's strong opponent, but Wei Qidong hadn't shown up for a long time, and there was no movement even in the formal chamber of commerce election. Secretly kept secret.

As a result, there were more rumors. Some people said that Wei Qidong was taken abroad by the Wei family, and some said that he was kidnapped and imprisoned in a certain place by the enemy. There were different opinions, and the Wei family did not come out to explain.

An uncle of Wei Qidong is currently in charge of the Wei family. During Li Jibai's election campaign, he deliberately avoided him. Everyone speculated that some kind of agreement may have been reached with the Li family.

Of course, the chairman's surname is Li.

Li Jibai was on the cusp of the storm for a while, no matter how low-key he was, he would inevitably become a topic of conversation, and he couldn't avoid the eager or jealous eyes.

Therefore, after rejecting the marriage olive branch offered by various families for the Nth time, the diamond king in the eyes of everyone announced that he has a partner.As for who his partner is, someone with good intentions has already found out that it is Lin Shen, the special assistant who followed Li Jibai before.

There was an uproar.

Not to mention that Lin Shen is a man, he and Wei Qidong once exposed indecent videos, which is well known in the circle, but due to Li Jibai's coercion, no one has discussed this matter for a long time.

Everyone still remembers the fate of the few people who made irresponsible remarks to Lin Shen before, and they dare not say anything now, and occasionally when this topic is brought up, they politely say congratulations, and they must inform everyone when there is a wedding. Scene talk.Of course, there is no daughter who is not open-eyed anymore.

Li Jibai didn't care about these things, he went home on time every night, tried his best to adjust the unscheduled entertainment to noon, and if it was really difficult to adjust, he controlled it to end before nine o'clock in the evening.When someone asked why, they said someone was waiting at home.All of a sudden, Li Jibai's image of a good family man was well established.It's just that the other party involved, Lin Shen, hasn't appeared in the public eye for half a year. When asked, Li Jibai said unhurriedly that he is not in good health recently, and he is recuperating, so he won't come out to work for the time being.

All kinds of rumors and speculation slowly subsided.

The reelection of the president is a major event, and after all parties have calmed down and stabilized, the celebration reception, which was postponed for a month, will be held at Xianyue Villa.

There were many people who came, and there were crowds gathered on the outdoor lawn and in the lobby. After Li Jibai finished his opening speech, he drank and chatted with several partners by the pool.

There was also a glass of red wine in front of Lin Shen.

It may be due to the atmosphere tonight, a glass of red wine appeared on his dinner plate today, not much, just a pleasant drink.Lin Shen sat on the window sill, the heavy curtains left a hand-wide gap, his body was hidden behind the curtains, he could see the garden and lawn in the distance, the lights and crowds, the intertwining of wine and the fragrance of clothes, but all of these had nothing to do with He has nothing to do.

They have their cages, he has his cages, different.

Lin Shen was playing with the goblet in his hand, watching the red liquid swaying in the glass, he thought that Li Jibai must not know, ever since he drank the glass of red wine with added ingredients and was left at Wei Qidong's place, he never Never touched alcohol.He even suspected that he had alcoholic PTSD. When he saw it, he would instinctively feel nauseous, and then his palms and feet were numb, and his head was covered with cold sweat.

Enduring his nausea, he turned the cup down and watched as the liquid was absorbed by the thick carpet, staining a small dark red stain.

There was a moment of trance, and an unspeakable emotion rose from the bottom of my heart, similar to reluctance or anxiety that there were things that had not been done, but this emotion passed in a flash.When he looked up again, only calmness and sobriety remained in his eyes.

By the pool in the distance, he could see Li Jibai talking with someone, holding a wine glass, standing casually, and he didn't feel tired after socializing all night.A woman in a red dress walked over to join them, a picture of the guests enjoying themselves.Suddenly there was a small commotion in the crowd, and it was too far away to see clearly. It seemed that the woman in the red dress was accidentally bumped by the waiter. The woman stood by the pool and fell back uncontrollably towards the pool. .

Li Jibai immediately stretched out his hand, wrapped around the woman's waist before she fell into the pool, and pulled her back.

The wine glass in his hand was thrown into the swimming pool, and the mobile phone in his pocket was also thrown in. Li Jibai didn't care about these, and hurriedly comforted the woman who was still in shock.Staff surrounded them, and it seemed that someone had stepped into the pool.In short, this episode will pass quickly.

It's almost time.

He jumped off the window sill, just wearing pajamas and pajamas, slippers on his feet, and walked slowly to the door.

Gently press the handle, and the door opens with a click.Outside the door is Li Jibai's room.Across the room, the second door also opened, leaving the corridor empty.He simply threw off his slippers and walked barefoot.

There is a small window in the attic, which is connected to a monitoring blind spot on the outer wall.He pulled out a rope from a pile of sundries, ducked out of the window, and slid down along the layers of creepers on the outer wall.

There is a secret door leading to the basement, which is full of cars parked today, all from the guests who came to the banquet.At the corner at the entrance to the secret door, he stopped, looking for a suitable vehicle.

Lin Shen actually didn't have a thorough plan.

Lao Ding managed to break Li Jibai's cell phone, temporarily unable to monitor the electronic shackles, and then lured Luo Yi away.Lin Shen came out of the room at the right time, found a suitable car, and left with the guests who came to the banquet.

As for whether he can escape, and where he will go after escaping, everything depends on fate.

Under Li Jibai's nose, the two things that Lao Ding can do are already the limit, and Lin Shen can only give it a go.Anyway, the worst result is to fail and be caught again, and the situation will not be worse than the current situation.

Lin Shen quickly locked on his target, and picked a dark gray off-road vehicle from among the sports cars and business sedans all over the floor.He bent down, skillfully bypassed the monitoring, came to the car door, took out the tool that the old top gave him in advance from the pocket of his pajamas, and pried open the car door a few times.

As the banquet drew to a close, Li Jibai was entertaining several important guests, and they were still chatting enthusiastically.Some people came to say goodbye one after another, and the staff who had arranged in advance sent them off properly and thoughtfully.

When Yan's father and son came over, Li Jibai was just about to call Luo Yi over.He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find out what was wrong.Socializing all night was too exhausting for him to think about it.

Yancheng and his father came to bid farewell to Li Jibai. The Yan family has a medical aesthetics project and is discussing cooperation with Hongbai, and the prospect is good.Li Jibai admires the eldest son of the Yan family very much, he is gentle and resilient, and acts upright.

After a few words of politeness, Yancheng suggested that the hospital still had something to do, so he had to go first, leaving his father and Li Jibai to continue.

In fact, Yancheng doesn't like socializing very much, and leaving early is his usual way of coping.He also doesn't like driving sports cars, and the feeling of "sitting on the ground" makes him drowsy.

He refused the waiter's request to drive the car out, avoided the crowd and smoked a cigarette in a corner of the garden to inhale the scent of various perfumes on his body, and then walked slowly towards the garage.

His car was parked near a corner of the basement, out of place with the surrounding cars.He shook the car key with his index finger, walked to the car in a relaxed manner, unlocked it, opened the door, and then got into the cab.

The car drove out of the villa slowly, a security guard waved at the door, Yan Cheng looked into the other's eyes, smiled and nodded, and then speeded up.

The gray body quickly melted into the night.

Yancheng's residence is close to the outskirts of the city. He likes to be quiet and live alone.Xianyue Villa and his home are just at the two ends of the city, and he can drive to his home in four to 10 minutes along the expressway around the city.

On the way, he felt thirsty, so he drove into a small service area to buy water. When he got out of the car, he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a box of bottled water in the trunk, and he turned back to open the trunk before taking two steps.

Then he froze.

The person huddled in the trunk obviously didn't expect him to go back and forth, and the two faced each other, looking at each other.

Yan Cheng paused for a second before he could react. He took a step back and stared at Lin Shen with a shocked face.He didn't know why a living person came out of his car. After a moment of reflection in his mind, he only said one word: "You..."

Lin Shen obviously reacted faster. He already had the consciousness of being discovered at any time, so he quickly calmed down and looked at the person in front of him.

It turned out to be a familiar face.

"Yancheng?"

Yan Cheng's pupils dilated slightly when his name was called out, and a figure suddenly appeared in his memory. It was someone he met at a reception, and together they rescued a girl who fell into the water, and they had a good talk.

"You are... Lin Shen?"
