Deer in the forest

"Isn't this the first time for him?" Li Xu put his hands on Lin Shen's shoulders, with a look on his face that the cabbage was being pushed by a pig, "Ah Shen, did you and Wei Qidong have any unpleasantness before?"

"It's okay, it's all over."

Lin Shen lowered his eyes, obviously not wanting to mention it.

What do you want him to say?Could it be that he told Li Zhu that he was tortured by Wei Qidong in the warehouse for more than three hours at the new product promotion meeting in country D last time?Although no substantial harm happened in the end, that extremely dark experience made him have a physical fear of Wei Qidong.

He is a man, and he can't cry to his friends that he was almost raped.

He also didn't want to be an enemy of the Wei family.On the road he planned, one more thing is worse than one less thing. He would rather endure it than add another unstable variable to cause side effects.

Li Zhu is still resentful: "Look at his perverted face of wanting but not being dissatisfied. In the future, the two companies will cooperate and contact will be inevitable. Don't look at my brother's face. At that time, if he harass you again, we will call him!" He has to look for teeth all over the place."

Lin Shen's heart warmed, and he stroked his hair like a dog: "Okay, I'll listen to you!"

Li Zhu opened his hand, "I'm not Brooke, thank you, don't touch me like this." Then he said, "Who made you have a face that can be used by both men and women, you deserve this kind of rotten love..."

Before they finished speaking, the two froze in place.

"Tsk, the peach blossoms are here." Li Zhu curled his lips, looked condescendingly at the young man sitting next to the red sports car, then looked back at Lin Shen, and asked, "What should I do?"

There was no one in the empty basement, and the boy's weeping was especially clear.

Lin Shen shook his head helplessly, walked over and squatted down, and pulled the boy up. "Mr. Meng let you go, you go home quickly!"

"Mr. Lin, I know you don't like me, so I came here to thank you." There was a trace of shyness on the boy's face, his eyes were red and swollen after crying just now.

"I didn't help you, you shouldn't thank me, and I can't help myself." Lin Shen said as he opened the car door, motioning for Li Zhu to get into the car.

"Mr. Lin, I..." The boy stood by the car and refused to move away, wanting to say something.After finally leaving that pervert, how could he be willing to let go when he met such a person with first-class looks and status?

Seeing that the young man still wanted to pester him, and Lin Shen's attitude was very clear, Li Zhu had no choice but to help his good brother: "Why don't you follow my brother? My brother is richer and more powerful, and it just so happens that his last lover died. Just come in instead."

Seeing the astonishment on the young man's face, Li Zhu continued to add more details: "Hey, he died in bed early in the morning, my brother is really..."

Before Li Zhu finished speaking, the young man waved his hands in a panic, quickly said "Goodbye, Mr. Lin", and then ran away without a trace.

If Li Jibai is invincible in business, then his younger brother Li Zhu is a rare rival in love.With him, there is no emotional dispute that cannot be resolved.

Lin Shen's mood was suppressed by Wei Qidong all night, and he finally felt better because of Li Zhu.

It was already midnight when the two returned to Xianyue Villa.

Li Jibai's study room was still lit.

After Li Zhu and Lin Shen entered the door, they unconsciously lowered their voices. Li Zhu's room was on the third floor. He walked softly into the elevator and gestured for Lin Shen to return to the room quickly, so as not to be caught by his brother fooling around. Yes, and with Lin Shen.

Lin Shen didn't really want to face Li Jibai at the moment.I don't know why, since he came back, the few words Wei Qidong said have been played back in his mind repeatedly.Li Jibai is a person who puts interests first, and in his eyes there is no unreasonable deal, only bargaining chips and conditions are not enough.Wei Qidong is half-crazy, the more he can't get it after thinking about himself, the more sinister and vicious he becomes.He was afraid that that lunatic Wei Qidong would really speak to Li Jibai.

He doesn't have much confidence, and feelings are the most fragile thing, let alone Li Jibai has no feelings for him.

Seeing that the elevator door was about to close, a deep and cold voice suddenly came from the stairs on the second floor: "Where did you go?"

The escape plan failed, and Li Zhu went to his brother's study dejectedly.

Li Jibai didn't pay attention to where they went or what they did. He only told Lin Shen about the profit forecast of a project in M ​​country that Hongbai had recently fought for. He asked Li Zhu to come in because he wanted to hear it. Pure work talk.

Gradually, Li Zhu let go of his courage and became more casual in speaking.He waited until Li Jibai finished his official business, and immediately talked about what happened to them tonight, but Lin Shen didn't have time to stop him, so angry that he wanted to slap his mouth shut.

"That Wei Qidong was so crazy that he even trapped Ah Shen in the box and prevented him from coming out, and even made people guard the door to prevent me from entering." Li Chu said to himself, "When I first entered, he The lewd expression on his face is really perverted."

Hearing that Wei Qidong trapped Lin Shen in the box, Li Jibai's expression darkened, he interrupted Li Zhu's nonsense, and looked up at Lin Shen.

Lin Shen had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain: "Mr. Meng is here and invited me to sit down. I went and found that Wei Qidong was there. Later...Mr. Meng left, and only Wei Qidong and I were in the box." He paused After a while, Li Jibai was still listening and didn't mean to interrupt, so he could only continue, "When we were in country D, we had some unpleasantness, but it's okay. He didn't stop me from leaving, just It took a long time to talk, and Li Zhu waited anxiously outside."

Li Zhu's eyes widened in admiration.Lin Shen clearly said every word and every word was the truth, but the meaning of these words together seemed to be nothing, it seemed that Li Zhu was fussing.

"What did you say?" Li Jibai asked.

"...He thought I had fallen in love with Mr. Meng's man and wanted to give him to me, but I refused." Of course, Lin Shen couldn't tell the real content of their conversation, so he had to make trouble.

Li Jibai looked at Li Zhu again.

Li Zhu quickly waved his hand: "I don't know, I haven't broken into the door at that time!"

"What happened in country D before? It should be the new product promotion meeting, Wei Qidong also went." Li Jibai stood up from behind the desk, walked slowly to the balcony, and lit a cigarette.

This means continuing to talk.

Lin Shen had no choice but to follow and sit opposite him.

Li Zhu's eyes were also burning with gossip, and he looked at Lin Shen.

"At the wharf warehouse...they locked the door when they were counting the goods." Lin Shen had tinnitus, shook his head slightly, and continued, "I was locked in there for a few hours, and later people from the Wei family said that they Didn't know I was in there, it was a misunderstanding."

"It's not a big deal, so I didn't report it to my husband." Lin Shen's attitude was respectful and his tone was calm, Li Jibai couldn't see anything unusual.

Li Jibai asked, "Are you injured?"

Lin Shen quickly replied: "No."

"The Wei family may be targeting me because of the mine, but these are trivial matters, and there is no need to entangle them. After all, the two families will still cooperate in the future." Lin Shen said, "I will pay attention to Wei's actions in the future. Qidong's attitude, try not to have a direct conflict with him."

Li Jibai nodded: "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that the Wei family is currently fighting against each other, and Wei Qidong is a rather sinister person, and he will have more cooperation and meetings in the future. You have a sense of proportion in your heart. This person will be a good person if you use it well." A good partner, if not used well, is a big hidden danger.”

The three talked for a while, and Li Jibai asked them to go back to their room to rest.

When he reached the door of the study, Li Jibai suddenly called Li Zhu, "Wait a minute, Ah Shen, go back first."

Only Li Jibai and Li Zhu were left in the study, and the atmosphere became inexplicably dull.Li Zhu didn't know why his brother wanted to keep him, but judging from the other party's appearance, it seemed that nothing good would happen.

Sure enough, Li Jibai opened his mouth and said, "After you entered the private room, tell me in detail about Ah Shen and Wei Qidong's state, expression, and conversation at that time."

Li Zhu was only surprised for a moment, and immediately understood, and hurriedly told his brother everything he saw and heard, and the scene was short of repeating itself.After he finished speaking, Li Jibai was silent for a while.

Li Chu couldn't help being curious: "Brother, do you not believe in Ah Shen?" Then he couldn't help but say, "That Wei Qidong definitely wanted to bully Ah Shen, I can see that. Although Ah Shen didn't respond at the time, But his hand was shaking all the time. I only felt it when I put it on his shoulder."

"No matter what happens between them, it can't affect the next cooperation." Li Jibai said coldly, "Ah Shen is a smart man, he made the big deal smaller today, which is the right way."

He didn't need to care about what happened between Lin Shen and Wei Qidong, but he had to know.

Obviously, Lin Shen had reservations.

Li Zhu was annoyed by his brother's indifference.

"No wonder, that pervert finally said that he would ask you for him, he had an instant stress reaction!"

"What did Wei Qidong say?"

Li Zhu replied angrily: "The pervert said that as long as there are enough chips, there is nothing in this world that cannot be exchanged. If he asks you for Ah Shen, let Ah Shen guess whether you will agree."

Li Jibai stubbed out the cigarette, and whispered "No wonder".

No wonder Lin Shen's tinnitus, it turned out to be nervousness and fear.

Only Li Jibai knew about Lin Shen's tinnitus when he was nervous.In the warehouse of Country D, Lin Shen was definitely not just locked in, there must have been other things happening.

After figuring out some levels, the whole thing can be easily connected.

Wei Qidong fell in love with Lin Shen.He also used some unsightly methods to force people to submit. Due to cooperation or other reasons, Lin Shen couldn't tear himself apart with the other party, so he avoided it if he could.This is also the reason why he would rather take the risk of being punished than return until the banquet is over.

That's why he was nervous, worried that Li Jibai would hand himself over to Wei Qidong for cooperation, so nervous that his ears rang.

Lin Shen came to the Li family when he was 12 years old, and started to follow Li Jibai when he was 18 years old. He worked hard for the Li family these years. No matter how unprincipled he is, Li Jibai would never trade people around him for benefits.

Li Jibai sneered, thinking, who did Lin Shen take him for!

After thinking about it, he still sent a message to his secretary Fang Yuan: check Wei Qidong's full itinerary at the country D promotion meeting.
