Deer in the forest

The old man's birthday banquet was held for two days and one night, and it was very grand. Almost all the famous people in Nancheng came, and there were also many guests from other places. They lived in the annexe of the old house that night.

Li Jibai's father, Li Qingxian, finally came back the night before, brought his new lover, had a simple meal with the old man and his two sons, and chatted about the recent situation, neither cold nor indifferent.The two of them didn't live in the old house. Li Qingxian had a luxury apartment in the city center, and they would live there when they came back.

The day after the banquet, they flew abroad for another vacation.

Lin Shen followed Li Jibai to entertain the guests, and was so busy that he never touched the ground for two consecutive days.Li Zhu and Li Jiangmu also behaved well for a rare two days, following behind the old man step by step to take care of them, in front of their filial sons and grandsons.

It wasn't until the next afternoon that all the guests were sent away that the Li family was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Zhu broke into Lin Shen's room, threw himself on the big soft bed, howling that he was tired like a dog.

"Ah Shen, whatever you say tonight, you have to go out for a while. My friends are waiting, you go with me, and I will show you the drunkenness and dreams of Nancheng."

"No time." Standing in front of the closet, Lin Shen took a light blue shirt and put it on. "Tonight, my husband and I are going to meet someone."

Li Zhu sat up immediately: "Who are you seeing? Take me there too."

Lin Shen glanced at him: "No, let's talk about work."

He changed his previous shirt, revealing his firm and powerful upper body. The two butterfly bones were thin but not weak. His thin abdominal muscles were attached to his lower abdomen, and his skin was glowing cold and white.Li Chu swallowed inexplicably, "Ah Shen, you..."

Then stop talking.

"What?" Lin Shen looked back at him with a puzzled expression.

"You are too lustful... I can swallow my mouth at you even if I am straight." Li Zhu clicked his tongue a few times, and secretly scolded his brother for being blind, and the lovers around him were nothing compared to Lin Shen.If you don't eat such a good nest grass, you have to do some business together.

Lin Shen ignored him, changed his clothes and went to the bathroom.

There is an exquisite sandalwood box on the bedside table, Li Zhu looks familiar, isn't this the emerald his brother gave to his grandfather, why is it still here?

"Don't move. I bought two yuan at that time, and I want to give this one away." Lin Shen came out after washing his hands, and stopped Li Zhu from grabbing it to wear it around his neck in time.

Li Zhu resentfully said: "Old trick, top quality, I still want to keep it for myself."

Lin Shen shook his head helplessly, said "Go and play by yourself", took the emerald and went out.

The meeting place was arranged at a private club, and when Lin Shen and Li Jibai arrived, Shen Junhuai had already finished a cup of tea.

"Brother," Li Jibai stepped forward to hug him and greeted him familiarly, "Long time no see."

The man opposite was tall, although he was smiling, his brows were extremely cold.He glanced at Lin Shen, and Li Jibai immediately introduced, "This is Ah Shen, one of my own, you have never seen him. He came to H University a year later than me, and you would have graduated by then."

The three exchanged simple greetings, and then got to the point.

During the conversation, Lin Shen knew that Shen Junhuai had only come back in recent years. He is currently serving as a visiting professor and the head of the Nano Project Research Office at Binhai United University in China. He is a top nanotechnology expert in the industry.The Shen family is powerful in country M. The family is involved in government military projects and commercial nano-projects, but their style of work has always been very low-key.When Shen Junhuai was a graduate student at H University, he met Li Jibai, the two hit it off, and hit it off.In recent years, the Shen family has taken care of Li Jibai's overseas business, and Li Jibai has always been grateful.

The two met this time because Shen Junhuai had something to do.

"Senior brother, since the matter of the Fang family and the Du family is a foregone conclusion, I will take care of the follow-up matters. Don't worry, I will never let them have a chance to stand up again." Hearing what Shen Junhuai meant, Li Jibai thought in his heart There is a bottom.

Shen Junhuai nodded, frowning, as if deep in thought.

After a while, he asked something not related to today's topic: "Is your brother's birthday two days away?"

Li Jibai raised his eyebrows in surprise, and said yes.Li Zhu's birthday is not a few days away from the old man's. Every year after the old man's birthday, it's his younger brother's turn to make trouble.

"The Li family has a cruise ship, let Li Zhu hold a birthday party on the cruise ship." Shen Junhuai said, "Invite more people from their circle, and definitely let Fang He and Du Qian aboard."

The two people Shen Junhuai mentioned were the children of the Fang family and the Du family. They often played with Li Jiangmu and hadn't done anything good.It was precisely because these two people offended Shen Junhuai that the cold and self-reliant Professor Shen went directly to the high-level ministries and commissions, and used a state-level secret project as an exchange condition to thoroughly investigate the Fang and Du families from top to bottom, and let them work in Nancheng. Even the country completely collapsed.

These two families are not clean at all, and they have maintained a balanced and peaceful appearance over the years because they have not really offended anyone who can bring them down.

Of course, no matter how broken this kind of family is, it would have left a retreat for itself and its descendants abroad.That's why Shen Junhuai approached Li Jibai, and waited for the building to fall, and then Li Jibai took action to close it down, buying the two companies at a low price, so that they would never have the possibility of making a comeback.

This matter is not a loss to Li Jibai at all. He originally wanted to use Nancheng to develop the domestic market, but he just took over a piece of land with no development prospects from his uncle. , then you can flex your muscles.

Although the Fang family's Ark Group and Du's are not comparable in size, they still occupy a solid place in the Nancheng business district. Li Jibai is naturally happy to pick up a leak this time.

After the three of them talked, before leaving, Li Jibai took out the jadeite to Shen Junhuai, saying that it was a gift for the Shen family's grandfather, and thanked the Shen family for taking care of them all these years.

On the way back, Lin Shen couldn't help asking, "How did those two people offend Professor Shen?"

He could tell that Shen Junhuai was not a small-minded person, with a high vision and a broad mind, and he was not the kind of person who would be easily shaken.

"How did you offend me?" Li Jibai sneered, "Those two beasts hurt my brother's lover."

Lin Shen was taken aback, these gangsters had never had a lower limit when playing, and he knew very well how nasty it was.Since Li Jibai said that, something terrible must have happened.

Li Jibai continued: "His lover is a painter who just graduated two years ago. When his senior brother returned to country M, he was tricked by the teacher into boarding the Fang family's cruise ship, and he was locked up for two full days before being released. That child is also Poor, I have never dared to tell my senior brother what happened, and the senior brother didn't know until now."

"Brother has been in the country for the past four years, that child has been with him all the time, and the two have a very strong relationship. Which man can bear this kind of thing?" Li Jibai squeezed the center of his brows, and said in a heavy tone, "Fang Du The two families are the backing of these two people, so these two families must fall. As for the culprits of these two, I guess, the senior brother wants to take advantage of Li Zhu's birthday to clean them up on the cruise ship."

"I've met my brother's lover once. He is a very gentle and talented boy. It's just a pity."

Lin Shen also murmured: "That's really pitiful. Seeing a lover go through such hardships, I guess no one can bear it."

"Yeah, if this kind of thing happened to me, I would probably do the same thing as senior brother." Li Jibai said.

Lin Shen's face moved slightly, but he didn't speak.

"Brother, do you know what I was thinking when you first found me?" Li Jibai asked, and then he asked himself and answered, "I was thinking, Li Jiangmu never got involved in this matter, otherwise the Li family would have Bad luck."

"That's also a matter of hope, and it has nothing to do with Hongbai." Lin Shen said tentatively.

"Having said that, it is the property of the Li family after all. It is the painstaking effort of the older generation. We are the children and grandchildren who are responsible for any accidents." The Li family, but if outsiders come to make trouble, the nature will change."

Then he said, "Whether it is targeting Wanghe or Hongbai, they are the enemies of the Li family."

Lin Shen drove steadily, and seemed to be focusing on the road in front of him, but if Li Jibai looked closely at his eyes, he would find that his eyelashes were trembling constantly, showing anxiety and bewilderment.

Yes, Lin Shen understood what Li Jibai meant. If he opened fire on Li Qingluo's family, no matter how carefully he tried to get Li Jibai out of their battlefield, it would be impossible.

Because Li Jibai is from the Li family.

They are destined to be enemies, and they are destined to have no results.

Li Zhu's birthday is coming soon, Li Jibai takes Shen Junhuai on board the speedboat.Lin Shen didn't follow. He heard what happened on the boat from Li Zhu the next day.

Li Zhu's face was very exciting, and he used several exclamation sentences while retelling. "That Professor Shen is too ruthless! He really can do it! He is not an ordinary person, bull!"

In view of Lin Shen's traditional and conservative character, Li Zhu's words were vague, but no one could understand the general meaning.Fanghe and Du Qian were beaten up in front of the public on the cruise ship, then they were stripped and tied up on the swimming pool escalator, and a lot of props were stuffed in the backyard.

I didn't dare to call a doctor until dawn.

"The blood flowed all over the place, and the swimming pool was almost stained red." Li Zhu said while gesticulating, "These two people have lost face to the Pacific Ocean, and they will have no face in this life."

"Professor Shen personally did the whole violence."

"Oh?" Lin Shen was a little surprised.

"He's done, and he came over to wish me a happy birthday as if nothing had happened. I'm going to be scared to pee by him, okay?" Li Zhu started crying and howling again. If his brother wasn't there, he would have been terrified by the bloody scene. .

Li Zhudao: "Brother told me, this person is his senior brother, and it was the Fang family and the Du family who offended him. How did he offend him to take such a perverted revenge?"

Lin Shen briefly talked to Li Zhu, and then he suddenly realized that it was so.

Li Zhu sighed for a while, "Okay, they finally have their hardships paid off, and they should be able to live in peace in the future."

Lin Shen was thoughtful, "The real test for them may not be the incident itself, but the life ahead."

Anyway, congratulations to them!Lin thought deeply.

The downfall of Fang and Du's family was faster than expected. When the old man and uncle of the Li family knew that Li Jibai had started to secretly operate the acquisition, it was a foregone conclusion.

Of course, only his uncle wanted to intervene, and his grandfather had no objection to this matter.

Li Qingluo once came to the old mansion, and said in front of the old man that Wanghe could help Li Jibai take over the two houses. The reason was very high-sounding, of course, it was inconvenient for Li Jibai to be far away in T country.

Li Jibai politely refused, and at the end he mentioned the matter of taking the profits out. Only then did the uncle understand that when Li Jibai so readily agreed to only draw for three years, he was waiting for him here!

How could his nephew do bad business.

Li Qingluo couldn't say anything more, as he would be suspected of bullying the younger generation if he fought any longer, so he could only watch helplessly as these two pieces of fat fell into his nephew's hands.

Nancheng's side was running smoothly, but Hongbai's side was not at ease.

The two also stayed in Nancheng for almost a month. There were several key points in the cooperation plan between Hongbai and Wei that Li Jibai needed to personally finalize, so Li Jibai left Lin Shen and Li Zhu in Nancheng, leaving the route and land After finishing the final procedures, he returned to country T by himself.

Li Jibai has several properties in Nancheng, but Lin Shen has been living with Li Zhu in the old house and has not moved away, saying that he wants to accompany his grandfather.As a result, Li Linzhou failed to make an appointment with Lin Shen alone several times.

As long as Lin Shen went out, Li Zhu would follow him every step of the way. Like conjoined twins, the two of them were too busy to touch the ground. The old man was very comforted to see that the little grandson was getting more and more sensible, so he didn't care about them much.

When Lin Shen received the spam email, he had just finished processing all the work and was about to close his eyes for a rest when he heard the sound of a new email.

He opened it casually, glanced at it, and then deleted it.

The old man, Li Zhu, and Lin Shen ate lunch together. The old man was very satisfied with Li Zhu recently, and he was very pleased inside and out, and he also mentioned a few words to Lin Shen.Lin Shen took the opportunity to bring up the topic: "Master, my work here is almost over, and I plan to go back to Hongbai in the next two days."

The old man asked, "When will you be back?"

Lin Shen: "Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

Before the old man said anything, Li Zhu was not happy.

"It's finally over. Let's go after playing in Nancheng for two days. I've worked so hard during this period, so I should relax." Li Zhu turned to look at his grandfather, and acted coquettishly again, "Grandpa, okay?"

"You can relax, but don't hang out with your so-called friends anymore." The old man still has lingering fears because of the Fang Du family. It can be done as quickly and thoroughly as possible, and in the final analysis, it is all lost in the hands of unworthy descendants.

"Old man, is it okay to ask Ah Zhu to take me to the school that Mr. has attended?" Lin Shen said, and at the same time winked at Li Zhu.

In fact, Lin Shen never really lived in Nancheng. His life was bounded by the age of 12. He was an orphan before, and then he was sent to Baidao by the Li family. At the age of 18, he went to country M to accompany Li Jibai, and he followed Li Jibai all the time. Bai is in country T, and Nancheng is an unfamiliar city to him.Li Jibai, on the other hand, studied in Nancheng until high school before he went abroad to study, and he is an out-and-out local.

Li Zhu understood Lin Shen's eyes, and immediately answered: "My brother was a top student back then, and now there are a lot of his fans in school!" Then he talked about interesting things about his brother when he was in school.

Li Zhu spoke with both voice and emotion, and Lin Shen listened with great interest.After a while, the old man was told that he was sleepy, so he went to take a nap by himself.

In the afternoon, the two went to the private high school that Li Jibai had studied.Li Zhu called the principal and let the two of them in.They circled the campus.Within 10 minutes, Li Zhu didn't want to leave. Seeing him like that, Lin Shen patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, you go out and play, I'll walk here by myself."

Li Zhu slapped his butt and left without saying a word. Before he left, he looked at Lin Shen unbearably, thinking that the sadness of love is basically the same, but it’s just that I love you and you don’t love me. Belated affection is as cheap as grass such as.

Lin Shen didn't know that Li Zhu had so many inner dramas, and now he was baffled by him, so he couldn't help touching his face, and then said, "Hurry up and go".

After Li Chu left, Lin Shen sat on the playground for a while.Looking at the few teenagers who were playing football on the opposite side, the noise and youth were flying recklessly, which made him envious.Lin Shen came out in simple clothes today, a black cotton jacket over a hoodie, and he looked like a high school student sitting on the stage.

The ball flew over from a distance and was caught firmly by Lin Shen.

"Student, please kick the ball over!" A boy in school uniform waved his hand in the distance.

Lin Shen kicked the ball back and watched the boy run away with a smile.

I don't know if Li Jibai looked like this when he was in high school.Lin Shen thought to himself, no matter what he looks like, he will never look like himself.

Lin Shen didn't really enter the campus until he went to country M, and experienced the serious student life.

Mr. Li was keen on charity in his early years, and he sponsored many orphans to study and live in Baidao. After growing up, most of them went to work in Wanghe, loyal and capable.

Lin Shen is also one of the children, but his study in Baidao should be called training more properly.Baidao used to be a private resort island of the Li family. About a dozen children lived there. There were professional teachers and coaches. The courses were intensive and cruel, and the learning content was varied, involving cultural lessons, economic management, fighting, physical fitness, etc., but The most important thing is to cultivate loyalty. Later, these people were scattered in various industrial groups of the Li family and played a pivotal role.

Lin Shen’s six years in Baidao were difficult. As a 6-year-old child, he repeated his study and training every day, ate alone, slept alone, had no family and friends, and never left the island once.His only hope is to grow up quickly and leave here.

Sometimes people from the Li family would come to the island and take away their adult children, and new children would also be brought in.

When he was finally picked up, he met Li Jibai before the panic of the unknown future unfolded.

Lin Shen's past was burdened with too much hatred and loneliness. These two emotions were crazily entangled, and had penetrated deep into his bones and could not be eradicated.That's not what Li Jibai can see.

He didn't want him to see either.

He always wanted the person who opened the door and smiled at him in the afterglow, the person who took his luggage and gave him a hug and said "Welcome to a new life", the person he first fell in love with for the first time The people on the Internet will always see his good.
