Lima syndrome

If it was Bai Zhiyan in his previous life, he would never have imagined that he would do such a crazy thing, but having died once, he understood the importance of seizing the present moment.

He sat in the lobby of the procuratorate with a warm lunch box in his hands, thinking about what he would say when he saw Ji Chengxun later and how he could prevent him from hating him.

Recalling the first time I met him, it was a snowy night. He was hiding in a dirty alley in thin clothes. Even God was unwilling to show him mercy, but Ji Seung-hoon appeared. He gave him the warmest kindness and saved him in a classical way. He was like a god descending to the earth on that snowy night.

Ji Seung-hoon hides the most difficult winter in his past dark life, so Bai Zhiyan no longer thinks winter is cold.

He had come here secretly countless times, but dared only linger outside the procuratorate. He also packaged himself as the most shady peeper like a snake or a rat, hiding in the dark and only wishing to silently watch the light that gave him hope.

Bai Zhiyan didn't know what he could give in return to Chi Chengxun. Even with an extra identity, it couldn't suppress the humility in his bones. He pitied his cheapness and hated his origin.

Maybe his only role was to help him deal with Baek Jung-in. Ever since their last meeting at Baek's house, he felt that something must have happened between Ji Seung-hoon and Baek Jung-in, otherwise why would he go to the trouble of applying for a search warrant.

While his thoughts were still flying, Ji Chengxun finally came down.

"Master Bai, is that you?"

Hearing this strange name coming out of his mouth, Bai Zhiyan just felt very uncomfortable. He didn't want to be the young master of the Bai family.

He stood up with the lunch box and gave him a somewhat forced smile.

"Hello, Prosecutor Chi."

When Chi Chengxun saw his face clearly, he was surprised for a moment, "You really came here? And why did you change?"

Medical beauty is very developed in Country H. Ji Seung-hoon wondered if this kid had gone to a beauty salon for a project during the holidays, otherwise why would he look so different from the last time he saw him.

"I didn't." Bai Zhiyan didn't know what he meant by "changed appearance". If he knew that the other party thought he had undergone cosmetic surgery, he would probably be so surprised that he would laugh out loud.

"Have something to eat first. These are my aunt's specialties." He handed over the lunch box. Ji Chengxun thanked him softly and took it readily.

After lunch was delivered, Bai Zhiyan hesitated, not knowing whether he should say that he wanted to stay. Ji Chengxun saw his embarrassment and considerately offered to take him upstairs.

This was an experience that Bai Zhiyan had never had in his previous life, and he was secretly excited.

"You must be here today for more than just a meal, right?"

"Yes Mr. Prosecutor, I meant what I told you before."

Ji Seung-hoon opened the lunch box and picked up the chopsticks without hesitation. He picked up a pork chop and started eating.

He ate in silence, and Bai Zhiyan didn't say anything either until he swallowed the last bite of rice. Bai Zhiyan was very considerate and handed him the water cup, then he said thank you to him.

"Prosecutor, I believe that with your keenness, you must have investigated my information. Bai Zhengren and I have no family relationship. He is willing to take me back to the Bai family just as a pet. Moreover, Bai Jitai has been trying to kill me because of the division of property. I only want to cooperate with you to protect myself."

Bai Zhiyan said this with true feelings, because Bai Jitai had been going too far with him recently. In his previous life, he had at most caused some minor troubles to harass him, but now, Bai Zhiyan felt powerless to fight against him. He would get new wounds on his body almost every time. He even thought that maybe he would be killed by him next time.

Chi Chengxun is not blind. He noticed the gauze on Bai Zhiyan's forehead and some red marks on his wrists when he first saw him. He must have been bullied a lot in the Bai family, so it is understandable that he wants to ask him for help.

"But..." Chi Chengxun paused, feeling somewhat reluctant, "What you said is your family affair. I have no right to interfere."

"Prosecutor, I don't need you to help me escape from the sea of ​​suffering or persuade them to mend their ways. I want to..."

When Bai Zhiyan got to this point, he didn't know whether he should continue. If he knew his true thoughts, would he think he was cruel and vicious?

"What are you thinking about?" Chi Chengxun squinted at him, not missing any change in expression on his face.

"I think they all died a miserable death."

Bai Zhiyan's voice was very soft, but his words were powerful. Looking at his firm and stubborn eyes emitting strong fire, Ji Chengxun knew that he was not joking.

"Even if they are your relatives?"

"My only relative is my mother, but she is dead. I am just an orphan now."

Chi Chengxun was silent. No matter whether it was the first time they met or the second time they ran into each other, he always regarded Bai Zhiyan as a child who was ignorant of the world. Even when he had invited him before, he thought that he was just being petty because he was not getting along with his family.

Later, when he found out Bai Zhiyan's basic information, he realized that he had been living a hard life, but he believed that Bai Zhiyan would live a good life after returning to the Bai family, and the unpleasant memories of the past would become a thing of the past.

But he was wrong, he should not have imposed his own ideas on him from the beginning.

"But why do you think I can help you?" Ji Chengxun lowered his head to organize the lunch boxes without looking at him.

"Because I think you, Mr. Prosecutor, are a good person."

After hearing this, Chi Chengxun chuckled, with stars twinkling in his eyes, "Your reason is a bit far-fetched."

Bai Zhiyan was a little anxious when he saw that he didn't believe what he said, "What I said is true, and prosecutor, I am confident that I can help you."

"Okay then, let me hear how you can help me first."

Ji Chengxun admitted that the boy in front of him was not as innocent as he had previously imagined, but he also did not think that a student would have much ability to fight against those two treacherous and vicious people.

He had been tracking down Bai Zhengren for so many years but had not found any evidence of crime on him. Even though he applied for a search warrant last time, he still failed.

Could it be possible that we could obtain evidence to convict him of a crime by relying on this child?

"You surrounded the Bai family last time under the pretext of searching for drugs, but they have always been meticulous in their work. You must not have found anything useful, right?"

"what?"

He didn't expect that the kid would see through his true intention, but he also knew that it would be difficult to hit the target in one go. The last time he went to search, he just wanted to catch him off guard. It would be great if he could find something.

"The company that Bai Jitai currently works for is secretly helping Bai Zhengren's subsidiary to illegally collect debts, and their actions are violent and vicious."

In fact, this matter was also discovered by Bai Zhiyan inadvertently in his previous life. Bai Jitai once returned to the Bai family with injuries. According to his personal secretary, it was because he was too cruel to the person and was counterattacked and almost lost his life.

Although he only saw it that time, considering that Bai Jitai came back injured from time to time, he was sure that he had beaten someone.

"I'm telling the truth. He often goes to a nightclub called Jiumei, which is where he did it. But it's your job to investigate. I just want to help you."

Chi Chengxun looked at him thoughtfully, and Bai Zhiyan looked back at him quietly without dodging his gaze.

"Prosecutor, I sincerely want to cooperate with you."

Although Bai Zhiyan appeared calm on the surface, he was actually already panicking in his heart. He still had a trump card, which was Bai Jitai's true identity, but he couldn't reveal it so early.

The two were in a stalemate, and finally Chi Chengxun lost his temper.

"Okay, I'm really scared of you."

Seeing him give in, Bai Zhiyan finally felt relieved.

"Since we have reached a consensus, as a token of my sincerity, I will also tell you a secret, a secret of my investigation into Bai Zhengren."

Ji Seung-hoon has a girlfriend, or rather a fiancée, with whom he grew up, because they are getting married in less than two months.

His fiancée always wanted to be a singer. After being discovered by a scout, she joined the entertainment company under Bai Zhengren's Iljiang Group. Although she has not made much splash after signing the contract, she still works diligently and tries hard to create every day.

Until one day her agent told her that hard work alone was not enough and that her singing career would not last long without a sponsor to help her.

However, as she had just entered the entertainment industry, she was not aware of the price to be paid for fame. When her agent asked her to go to a drinking party, she followed him without any precautions.

Everything started to get twisted from here. Ji Chengxun found that she had become gloomy and dark since she came back that day. She was in a daze every day and would lose her temper and cry from time to time. He thought that she was like that because of too much work pressure, so he could only spare more time to accompany her, but the longer he was with her, the more wrong her mood became.

Until one day she cried and said to him: "Chengxun, I am not worthy of you, let's not get married."

"What nonsense are you talking about? How can you be unworthy of me?"

"Chengxun, you have no idea how dirty and lowly I am. I have the most shameful secrets that cannot be made public, but you are a prosecutor and you have a bright future. I can't be so selfish."

Only then did Ji Seung-hoon realize the seriousness of the matter. He kept asking her what happened, but she just cried and didn't say anything. Three days later, she cut her wrists, and Ji Seung-hoon picked up the suicide note she left for him.

The whole article is filled with her blood and tears, as if all the pain and misfortune in her life were poured into this thin piece of paper.

It was from then on that Ji Seung-hoon decided to avenge her. He went to find her agent and investigated everyone who attended the drinking party that day. All the evidence pointed to Bai Zhengren, but he was all-powerful in the capital, and Ji Seung-hoon found it difficult to fight against him, so he had been trying to find him out over the years.

Until he met Bai Zhiyan not long ago.

He himself found it funny that the person who was willing to share his hatred for the enemy was actually his enemy's son.

Bai Zhiyan was shocked after hearing this. He knew that Bai Zhengren had a chaotic private life, otherwise he would not have been born. But he did not expect that Bai Zhengren was responsible for a human life. He was worse than pigs and dogs.

"Okay, now that we have exchanged secrets, we are comrades in the same team from now on."

"Then, then the prosecutor..." Bai Zhiyan looked at Chi Chengxun embarrassedly.

"what happened?"

"Can I call you Seung-hoon? Because calling you prosecutor is a little inconvenient..." Bai Zhiyan added quickly as if he was afraid of being rejected, "If you mind, just pretend I didn't say it."

"Of course, that way I'll have both a brother and a sister."

After saying this, Ji Seung-hoon smiled and stretched out his fist to Bai Zhiyan. Bai Zhiyan nodded firmly and then raised his fist to collide with his.

"Pleasant to work with."

After reaching a cooperation with Ji Chengxun, Bai Zhiyan felt much better. When he returned to school the next day, there were always some vague glances sweeping across him along the way, but he didn't care and walked into the classroom with a normal heart.

Bai Zhiyan's popularity in the class was average to begin with, and now that Liu Zhimin no longer hangs around him like before, he is alone again.

Oh, and Seo Shi-won.

But Xu Shiyuan would not usually come to him to chat and play. At school, the two would only interact when they were eating on the rooftop.

As soon as he came in, the originally messy class immediately fell silent. Everyone shut their mouths and watched him calmly walk to his seat and tidy up the tables and chairs. After seeing that he had no reaction, they continued whispering.

"Brother Zhiyan..."

Liu Zhimin came closer awkwardly, twisting her fingers. This was the first time she spoke to him since the incident.

"What's the matter?" Bai Zhiyan's tone was indifferent, making it impossible to tell what his current mood was.

"Are you okay? Does the wound hurt?"

“I’m fine Jimin, don’t worry.”

Although Bai Zhiyan still comforted her as usual, Liu Zhimin, with a woman's sixth sense, sensed the alienation in his words. She hesitated to speak and finally said nothing more.

"That's good, Brother Zhiyan, you must take good care of yourself."

In fact, Bai Zhiyan has no opinion on Liu Zhimin, and she has always been very nice to him. It's just that Gao Enshuo always gets in trouble when he plays with her. In order to prevent future troubles, the best way now is to keep a distance from her.

But he noticed Liu Zhimin's abnormality, so he asked, "Zhimin, do you have anything else to say to me?"

"I do have something I want to say..."

She turned around and winked at the girl behind her, and the girl came over shyly.

Bai Zhiyan took a look and he recognized this girl. In her previous life, she had been in Che Jingcan's bullying gang. Although she was a marginal figure there, Bai Zhiyan would not forget anyone who had bullied him.

"Brother Zhiyan, this is my friend Li Enna. She asked me to find you and said she has something to tell you. I hope you can do me a favor and not refuse."

"how could be."

Liu Zhimin is extremely popular, and she probably doesn't even know the true face of the girl in front of her.

"Hello, Euna." Bai Zhiyan gave a fake smile.

"Hello, Brother Zhiyan." Li Enna glanced at Bai Zhiyan and quickly lowered her head.

"What do you find me for?"

"That Zhiyan brother... are you and Xu Shiyuan close?"

Xu Shiyuan? She came to ask me about Xu Shiyuan?

"I wanted to ask Jimin to contact him, but Jimin said he was scared of him, so I had to trouble you."

"We have a pretty good relationship. Do you have something to ask him?"

"I want to ask you, does Xu Shiyuan... have a girlfriend?"
