My father's inheritance is my mortal enemy.

An unexpected incident occurred at Zhihuai's wine cellar in Northern Europe.

The Nordic wine cellars store aged wines and top-quality spirits, which are supplied to local royalty and nobility. Two days ago, Li Bo received a call from the manager early in the morning, saying that the temperature in the wine cellar had been raised by two degrees for some reason. Top-quality spirits are very sensitive to temperature, and raising the temperature will change the quality of the wine.

This is an extremely expensive batch of wine. With the royal birthday banquet just around the corner, any problem at this critical juncture would be tantamount to a fire burning one's eyebrows.

Li Bo must go to Northern Europe.

While waiting for his flight at the airport, Li Bo urged his subordinates in the Zhihuai group chat to quickly come up with a plan to contact managers in Northern Europe who own ice cellars, whether by renting or purchasing, to ensure the preservation of this batch of original wines and vintage wines.

After hanging up the phone, Li Bo got up to go to the restroom and bumped into a man in a suit.

"Sorry." Li Bo didn't even look up.

The other party tightly gripped Li Bo's wrist, saying, "Yi An."

Lin Yi-an.

Li Bo probably hadn't heard this title in almost ten years.

He looked up abruptly. Ning Zhi was frowning at him, her eyes questioning. The words circled on her lips, but she finally took a deep breath and said, "Didn't you say..."

Li Bo withdrew his hand: "We'll talk later, I'm going to the restroom."

When Li Bo returned from the restroom, Ning Zhi was sitting next to him with a suitcase beside him, presumably going on a business trip. Ning Zhi was a friend Li Bo had grown up with in the same village in Guizhou.

Li Bo's only friend.

However, after Li Bo arrived in the capital, he completely lost contact with Ning Zhi.

Ning Zhi's family was poor; they didn't have a phone at home. After Li Bo was taken away, he never returned to Guizhou and naturally never saw Ning Zhi again. When Li Bo left, Ning Zhi was just about to take the college entrance exam. Ning Zhi vowed that she wanted to leave the mountains, see the wider world, and give her parents a better life.

Ning Zhi tilted her head, looked at Li Bo, and asked, "What do you want to do after you go to the capital?"

Li Bo's eyes shone: "I want to run, to run as far as possible."

Li Bo did not want to stay in the capital.

But Li Bo has now stayed in the capital.

After Li Bo returned, he tried his best to control his emotions and sat down.

Ning Zhi looked Li Bo up and down: "You're still so thin..."

Li Bo said with a smile, "I've been working out lately, so I'm not just skinny."

"Why didn't you come back?"

"busy."

"Li Bo..." Ning Zhi took a deep breath, "Didn't you say you were leaving the capital?"

Li Bo once said that after he came of age and finished the college entrance examination, he would save up some money, leave the capital, leave the Li family, break free from their control, and go to a place that belonged only to Li Jianyue.

Why hasn't Li Bo left the capital after all these years?

"The capital is quite prosperous. There's nothing wrong with staying here," Li Bo said with a smile.

Ning Zhi knew Li Bo's background, knew his secrets, and could see the bitterness in Li Bo's lips. He asked, "Why?"

What reason could possibly make Li Bo stay in the capital despite the dangers? To become a puppet like a walking corpse? Li Bo had previously longed for freedom the most, wanted to leave the most, and loathed the treachery and intrigue in the capital the most.

"After I graduated from high school, I found a part-time job. I got a fever and met a guy who said he would take care of me, so I wanted to take care of him too."

"Is that person... Zhou Yanshao?"

The matter concerning Li Bo, the Zhou family, and the Li family in the capital was causing quite a stir. Ning Zhi then learned that Li Bo had not left the capital or pursued his freedom; instead, he had trapped himself in the capital.

Ning Zhi originally worked in the United States. He came back this time partly because he was worried about Li Bo and wanted to see him, and partly because his parents were getting old and he wanted to bring them to live with him for a proper check-up. He didn't expect to run into Li Bo at the airport.

Li Bo didn't answer, but Ning Zhi already had the answer.

Ning Zhi asked again, "Is it worth it?"

As the boarding announcement came on, Li Bo didn't answer Ning Zhi's question. He stood up from his seat, looked at the boarding gate in the distance, took a couple of steps, and turned back to Ning Zhi: "Thank you for keeping my secret, Ning Zhi. You're a lawyer now, right? I wish you a bright future and good health."

Ning Zhi was Li Bo's first friend.

This is probably the last one.

Li Bo never expected to run into Ning Zhi at the train station before heading to Northern Europe.

Ning Zhi sat in the chair, and for some reason felt that Li Bo's words were like a farewell, a farewell before death.

He stood up, chased after Li Bo, and grabbed his wrist again: "When are you coming back? Let's have dinner together when you come back."

"Okay." Li Bo withdrew his hand again and boarded the plane.

The plane was flying to Northern Europe, a very dangerous trip. Li Bo was now a thorn in the side of the Zhou family and a nuisance to the Li family. He knew better than anyone that no one wanted him to leave Northern Europe alive.

But Li Bo still had to go. The more dangerous the situation, the more impatient the people who had been lying in wait for years became, eager to make their move against him. Only by putting himself in danger could Li Bo find the traitor who had been lurking in the Zhou family for so many years, and find the real culprit who poisoned Wan Tongzhi.

Li Bo deeply respected Wan Tongzhi, who was the only elder who had ever shown him any concern.

When the plane landed in Northern Europe, the manager of the Northern Europe department picked him up by car and took Li Bo to the wine cellar. The test report had come out, and some of the original wines had undergone quality changes. Li Bo needed to find a nearby storage point for these wines as soon as possible and investigate the internal workings of the wine.

The Beijing headquarters also called, saying that the Nordic ski base has a wine cellar, which was originally used to store food for athletes in case heavy snow blocked the roads, but there has been no heavy snow warning recently, so it can be vacated to provide a storage place for Zhihuai Original Wine.

After all, it was royal wine. After some communication, Li Bo quickly reached an agreement and personally led the team to transport the wine from the cellar to the ski resort in Northern Europe. He rode in the car with them on every trip.

The bulk wine was moved that day, but the aged wines were still in the cellar and needed a new, reliable manager to look after them. After thinking it over, Li Bo called Shu Lang, who was far away in Beijing. When Shu Lang answered the phone, he let out a pant, as if he had just finished some kind of exercise.

Li Bo asked, "Xiao Shu, would it be convenient for you to come to Northern Europe? It would take about a week."

"Uh... um... Mr. Bo, is there something urgent?"

"Yes, we need an administrator. It'll take a while, and I don't trust anyone else with that."

"Okay, I... um... I'll come tomorrow morning."

"Okay, send me the ticket once you've booked it, and I'll have the driver pick you up." Li Bo thanked her, "Thank you so much, Xiao Shu."

Li Bo got a bit hot from walking and running. It was sunny in Northern Europe today. When he came out of the storage room and reached the entrance of the lobby on the first floor, he took off his clothes with one hand while talking on the phone with Shu Lang. As soon as he hung up, the glaring light from outside the lobby made him unable to open his eyes.

He raised his hand to block the light, and a tall, dark shadow loomed over Li Bo, blocking the blinding light. He slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was a head of silver hair, followed by Zhou Yanshao's cold gaze.
