Deer in the forest

Li Jibai didn't leave quickly, he went downstairs and leaned against the light pole downstairs to smoke again.

Lin Shen walked to the window by accident, looked down, and saw this scene.

Maybe it was because there was really nowhere to go for the remaining 3 hours, or maybe it was because he couldn't bear the warmth of Lin Shen's room, and he stood there for a long time.The clothes are thin, the expression is lonely, and the sharp minions are put away, like a stray cat abandoned by its owner.

Lin Shen cleaned the room again, and read more than ten pages of boring introduction to culture.

Always restless.

He went to the window again, and the man was still there.Maybe I was tired after standing for a long time, so I just sat on the base of the light pole. Like the night before, the marble base was cold, so I didn’t worry about getting sick when I sat all the time.

Lin Shen looked away, walked back to the desk, and continued reading the introduction to culture.

I know every word, but I just don't understand it when they are connected together, which is boring and difficult to understand.Lin Shen threw away the pen in his hand irritatedly, and attributed this irritability to the Li Jibai effect - Li Jibai's breath and smell is everywhere in the room, even if the person leaves the magnetic field, it is still there, and it disturbs people nearby. People are quiet, but they stare at them from a distance, which is very annoying.

There was a faint sound of parking downstairs, and Lin Shen approached the window sill for the third time.

A black commercial vehicle was parked downstairs, and the assistant came down to help him with his luggage.Before Li Jibai got into the car, he raised his head to look over, and Lin Shen once again slipped behind the curtain in a useless manner.

The days passed slowly, Li Jibai's collapse that night seemed to be a small episode, and it passed quickly.The abandoned stray cat turns back into a calm and restrained adult again, sometimes asking for warmth, or turning into a silly white sweet in love, sometimes acting coquettishly.

Lin Shen is getting used to and liking the current school life more and more, calmly and step by step, lazily going to bed early and getting up late.

Until one day the tranquility was broken by a message on the phone.

When the video call came, Lin Shen was scrambling to make pizza in the kitchen. He thought it was Lu Qingchen, because the contacts on his phone could be counted with ten fingers, and only Lu Qingchen liked to make videos. So he hit the answer button casually.

"A Ming—" A familiar voice came from the screen, and the freshly baked pizza in his hand fell on the operating table with a snap.

It's Jiang Hai.

Looking at the background, it seems to be on a beach, and behind it are large tracts of sugarcane forests.Jiang Hai was darker than before, with a look of laziness and relaxation between his brows and eyes.

"Uncle Hai," Lin Shen called out in shock, "How do you know my number? Where are you? Why are you looking for me so blatantly? It's very dangerous——"

"Okay! Why are there so many questions, which one do you want me to answer?" Jiang Hai waved his hand impatiently.

He coughed slightly, sat up straight, and then put on a posture ready to have a long talk: "It's a long story, I hid in Europe for a while, and then I was tracked down by the Li family." Jiang Hai curled his lips, " It's not that I'm not good at skills, it's just that the old man of the Li family is determined to find me, and I was hiding hard for a while, and I was almost caught. Of course, I was indeed caught later."

"What?" Lin Shen was surprised again.

"Don't worry. It wasn't the old man who found me, but Li Jibai." Jiang Hai said that after Li Jibai found him, he didn't do anything to him. Instead, he locked him up on a small secluded island and didn't restrict his freedom. , he can stroll on the island, but not out of the island.

"About a few months later, Li Jibai came to visit and talked with me. He said that the grievances between me and the Li family will be cancelled, and he will deal with his grandfather's side, and I can rest on the island with peace of mind. Wait, I can leave when the limelight passes, and I can go wherever I like. Only then did I know that if he hadn't stopped me, I would probably have been killed by the old man of the Li family."

"I killed their family members, and let me go so easily, I can't believe it! But he said, he didn't want you to hate him more, Li Qingluo owed our two families, and he died. I still I don’t dare to believe it, but there is no other way, if he really wants me to pay for my life, he doesn’t need to go through so much trouble, so just stay on the island with peace of mind.”

"Li Jibai is really interesting. Seeing that I was fine on the island, he even bought me a large sugarcane grove. He contacted me suddenly two days ago, saying that his old man is not in good health. That's enough, I don't have any extra energy to deal with me, let me contact you at any time, and I can go out of the island at will." Jiang Hai stroked his shaved head, then patted his tanned forehead, "What should I do? I'm so comfortable here that I don't want to leave. The islanders here are very nice, and I think I can retire here."

"I never expected that Li Jibai would do this for you. I take back the words I scolded him before. Although he is not a good person, he does care about you."

There was too much information all of a sudden, Lin Shen reacted for a long time, and his facial expressions gradually became brighter.

"Don't make such an expression. I'm not dead. I thought we would never see each other in this lifetime. Even if we wanted to see each other, we would have to wait for ten or twenty years. I didn't expect to be reunited so soon."

"Uncle Hai," Lin Shen held his forehead, "Can you pay attention to the correct usage of idioms?"

The two chatted for more than an hour, and Lin Shen also talked about his recent situation. At the end of the chat, it felt like a world away, and they both felt sincerely happy for each other.

"Ah Ming, when I have a chance to see you when I finish harvesting this batch of sugarcane, come and see me anytime when you are not busy in class." Jiang Hai smiled openly and energetically. Lin Shen hadn't seen him like this for many years.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Shen sat on the spot in the kitchen in a daze. After a long time, he patted his face vigorously, then went to check the phone call records, and repeatedly confirmed that it was not a dream, but Jiang Hai was really videoing him.Ever since they embarked on the road of revenge with hatred on their backs, they never thought of a good death, but now, he and Uncle Hai are living the lives they want to live.

Li Jibai did so much behind his back, but didn't say a word, which made Lin Shen even more uncomfortable.I have to admit that Li Jibai, who is behind the scenes, has contributed a lot to his and Uncle Hai's life today.

Lin Shen is a little irritable these days.Li Jibai obviously didn't show up, but he reminded him of his existence in various ways.For example, this huge sum of money suddenly came out of Cary.

How big is it?Maybe you can buy all the shops within a three-kilometer radius in the university area where land is very expensive.

Before Lin Shen fled, in order to completely hide his whereabouts, it was impossible to bring a bank card, which revealed his identity, and it was useless.The second time he left more hastily, Lao Ding almost took out all his money and exchanged it for cash, letting Lin Shen take it away.

After coming to country M and settling down, and applying for a school, the sum of all kinds of expenses is almost exhausted.Lin Shen didn't have much idea about money. He used to live with Li Jibai and didn't need it. Now he lives alone and has to worry about eating, drinking, and messing around. Only then did he realize that he can't do without money.Later, during this period of time, he worked part-time in Liuguang. Although Lu Qingchen always used him as the director of operations, it meant that Lin Shen still had to attend classes.After all, as a person who has been in charge of many international projects in a large group, it is still easy to do odd jobs for a gallery.

The money earned is not much, and it will be enough to spend, but there is still a lot of room for improvement before returning the old top's money.

When Li Jibai first found Lin Shen, he brought all the important items he left in Xianyue Villa, including some of his private property documents, bank cards and various certificates.In fact, he doesn't have much private property left in country T, only an apartment under his own name and an off-road vehicle.The apartment had thought about cashing it out, but was afraid of arousing suspicion, so it stayed put.There was probably less than 200 million in the bank card, which was regarded as escape funds saved by Lin Shen, but the first time he ran away until he was caught back, he was rushed.

After all, he is a pauper.

It may be great joy for others that the poor become rich, but it is a bit of a headache for Lin Shen.He stared at the long string of zeros in the mobile bank, expressionless.This money was sent a few days after he and Jiang Hai made the video. No matter for Wanghe or Hongbai, this is a lot of working capital. I don't know what Li Jibai is going to do.

Without hesitating for too long, Lin Shen sent a message to Li Jibai.

Fang Yuan looked at the boss who threw the documents aside, didn't eat a few mouthfuls of lunch, and tried his best to pretend nothing had happened with his mobile phone, wondering what kind of crazy he was smoking again.At the meeting just now, Li Jibai was absent-minded. What was he doing when the senior executives were making impassioned statements?He is playing with his mobile phone.

Fang Yuan quietly took the lunch box away, slandering in his heart, he didn't expect Li Jibai to have today.

The phone screen was on, and on the chat interface, among hundreds of one-way output messages, a response was suddenly inserted: "What do you mean?"

What do you mean?

On the surface, it looks like a question, but if you think about it from another angle, it may be just a simple surprise, coupled with different modal particles, it is a different emotion.But no matter what it is, this is not the point. The point is that Lin Shen replied to himself for the first time.

Li Jibai received the message during the meeting in the morning. At that time, his hands were shaking when he opened the screen, his heart was beating loudly, and he was staring at the only white bar among the green bars on the screen, reluctant to blink.

He calmed down for 2 minutes before suppressing the raised corners of his mouth, and replied: "This is what you deserve. You have worked in Hongbai for so long, and this is the dividend and bonus owed to you."

Over there again: "Okay."

Li Jibai: "..."

According to the routine, shouldn't it be Lin Shen's indifference to refuse to repeatedly refuse, and then it is incumbent on him to work hard in every possible way?He was already ready to say what to say next, and Lin Shen killed Tian'er with one word.

Stop asking?

Is this the end of the conversation?

Li Jibai still wanted to say a few more words, but he was afraid that people would think that he was not sincere in giving the money, so he gave it all and still said something here.Forget it, the conversation has already begun, and it will no longer be a one-man show alone. This is progress.
