Si Xu parked the car in the parking lot and walked over.
When he pushed the door open and entered the store, Lin Jiu was waiting for him inside.
Seeing him coming over at this time, Lin Jiu had a hunch that something bad was going to happen, "What happened?"
Si Xu hit the ball straight, "Are you married?"
“???” Lin Jiu suspected that he had heard it wrong.
Lin Jiu was wearing a mask, and Si Xu couldn't see his expression. "Take off the mask. You don't need to wear a mask in front of me."
Lin Jiu didn't find anything wrong. He took off the mask and hooked it on his fingers, with the most straightforward confusion on his face.
Si Xu likes to observe his expressions, which are always vivid and cute.
Si Xu continued, "I heard your child is already a few months old, and his name is Lin Yu?"
Lin Jiu: “…”
Lin Jiu's expression went from blank to horrified, "Why don't I understand a word you're saying?"
Si Xu was almost amused by Lin Jiu's expression, and tried hard to hold back his expression, "Who is Qiu Yuqian?"
"Who?" Lin Jiu was already confused by Si Xu's series of questions.
"You don't know him?" Si Xu was a little surprised. He had also seen the photos of Qiu Yuqian and Lin Jiu. It's not that Lin Jiu didn't know him.
"It sounds a bit familiar..." Lin Jiu tried hard to recall.
Lin Jiu was almost driven insane by the time in the two dimensions. One year in the eyes of others was actually five years for him, and he passed one day at a time. So for someone who was not very familiar with him, it was indeed a bit difficult to recall the past five or six years, or maybe six or seven years.
Si Xu helped him recall, "She used to be an artist of Chuangxing. Now, because Chuangxing is in urgent need of recovering funds, she was sold to Fengshuo. She used to work with your Dream group..."
Si Xu felt that he was crazy. Why would he help Lin Jiu remember a woman he had forgotten? !
Lin Jiu had some impression of her. "Is she the one with big eyes, loves to laugh, talks a lot, and can chatter endlessly?"
Si Xu: “…”
You remember it very specifically!
Qiu Yuqian's appearance gradually became clearer, and Lin Jiu was able to match the name with the person, "What happened to her?"
Si Xu wanted time to go back to the time before he entered the door. He didn't want to talk about this person at all, but Lin Jiu was still waiting for his answer.
Si Xu: "... I heard that she pursued you?"
Lin Jiu was confused, "How is that possible? I don't know her well."
Si Xu: “…”
It's impossible, or someone is pursuing you, but you don't even realize that they are pursuing you!
Si Xujue believes that the latter is very likely.
Si Xu took a breath and exhaled slowly. He knew that it was unnecessary to ask such questions and he should just send a lawyer's letter directly.
Si Xu: "Did you say anything at noon? Now everyone on the Internet is helping you find your child."
Lin Jiu: “…”
Lin Jiu only heard the first half, and his ears immediately turned red. He lowered his head, playing with the mask strap in his hand, not daring to look at Si Xu.
No matter whether it was "family members" or "important people", he couldn't say it in front of Si Xu. Boss Lin was such a coward!
Seeing him like this, Si Xu knew that he must have said something misleading at noon, which was why it was spread and caused such a big misunderstanding.
Si Xu: "Do you want to go online and clarify?"
Lin Jiu nodded randomly, and then realized, "What do you want to clarify?"
Si Xu is indeed a special and important person to Lin Jiu. During his saddest and most difficult time, he survived by listening to Si Xu's songs. He has been looking up to this person for ten years.
Si Xu nodded, "Go to Weibo yourself."
Lin Jiu obediently opened Weibo and looked at it, then looked up at Si Xu with a confused look on his face, "To clarify... I don't have a mother?"
Si Xu: “…???”
Si Xu took out his cell phone and checked Weibo, and saw the same confused expression.
When he came, the whole network was still helping Lin Xiaojiu find her child. How come in such a short time, things have developed into helping Lin Xiaojiu find a mother
The blogger who revealed that the singing queen Vera might be Lin Jiu's mother has been overwhelmed by Lin Jiu's fans and the singing queen's fans.
The blogger took a frontal photo of Lin Jiu and a frontal photo of the singer, and compared the facial features separately. If you took the eyes, nose and lips out separately, they were really very similar, but when they were put together, they were completely different.
The comment section has been torn apart.
"How can a little-known singer compare with Vera? The queen doesn't have a son like him!"
"What's wrong with our boss Lin? He has a good voice, good looks, good skills, and a good temper. If you can find a bad thing about him, I'll respect you!"
"If you look at the facial features comparison picture alone, they really look alike, but when you put the facial features on the face, they are completely different. We all know the singer's strength. After all, she was popular for a period of time. But speaking objectively, the singer's appearance is really not as good as Boss Lin's."
"What's wrong with the singer's looks? Although not stunning, she is long-lasting and the older she gets, the more attractive she becomes. And why don't you mention her unique temperament? In that era, people competed with their strength, not their looks!"
"Don't get so excited upstairs. The singing queen was the goddess of our parents' era. We all respect her very much!"
"To be honest, the singer's facial features are indeed exquisite, but her face does not match her facial features. Isn't this the truth?"
"I just laughed. The singer was only 29 when she died. She was not married and had no boyfriend. How could she have such a big son?! Please be more polite and don't exploit the dead!"
Lin Jiu glanced through the comments and stared at the two photos for a long time, but couldn't see how they looked alike.
Lin Jiu looked up and asked Si Xu, "Do we look alike?"
As long as you are a singer, you will know Vera. Her songs could be heard in the streets and alleys at that time. Many of her songs have become classics and are still popular today. In recent years, imitation shows have become popular. Many people imitate Vera's big curly hair and her singing voice, and even her classic shots. However, imitation is imitation after all, and no one can imitate Vera's unique temperament.
Her looks could only be considered above average, she had an open-minded, cheerful personality and a wide range of interests. At the age of 29, she went out to sea alone and never came back. The coast guard finally towed back her broken boat, and a generation of singing queen was buried in the sea.
Si Xu had never compared Vera and Lin Jiu together before. If you look at these two people separately, they don't look alike at all, but if you compare their facial features separately, they are indeed somewhat similar.
Si Xu asked back, "Do you think you look alike?"
Lin Jiu: “Not really.”
"That's not likely." Si Xu called Wen Qin and asked him to handle the matter.
Making a fuss about Lin Jiu and the deceased queen of pop, no matter whether Lin Jiu is currently in the entertainment industry or not, is only bringing bad things to Lin Jiu. The queen of pop's position in the music world is unshakable.
"Thank you." Having troubled Si Xu again, Lin Jiu recorded another favor in his little notebook.
Si Xu glanced at the box, which used to be his regular dining place, "Do I still have a place to eat now?"
Lin Jiu was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that he had not yet told Si Xu that he could go to the second floor to eat.
"Sorry, I forgot to tell you that you can dine on the second floor from now on."
This time it was Si Xu who was stunned, then smiled, "Have you reached the level yet?"
"We're here. Do you want to go see me?"
The second floor will eventually be open to the public. Lin Jiu has been there for a long time and is no longer as shocked as he was at the beginning. Looking at the second floor now, Lin Jiu only feels that the project is a bit grand, nothing else matters.
"Okay." Si Xu was also curious about what the upstairs of the Magic Fish Shop would look like.
Lin Jiu led Si Xu over, the small wings at the stairs opened automatically, and Lin Jiu took Si Xu upstairs.
When they reached the second floor, Lin Jiu stepped aside and let Si Xu go in.
Si Xu: “!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?”
Everywhere he looked, he saw green: ancient trees, flowers, flowing water, and swimming fish. He felt as if he had arrived in a primeval forest. The air was filled with the fresh scent of the forest. Next to the sturdy ancient tree, a wooden platform was visible among the plants. On the platform were a long wooden table and benches. The platform was connected to the ancient tree and suspended above the flowing water. Fish would pass under the wooden platform. On the other side of the table were tall needle-like plants that blocked his view. He wondered what was going on inside.
It is obviously just a small shop of 70 square meters, but it seems like there is a space of 700 square meters. It is very spacious both horizontally and vertically, with no end in sight. All you can see are ancient trees and green plants. Looking up at the sky, you can see ancient and vigorous trees reaching into the sky. It seems like there is really blue sky and white clouds above. There is no ceiling at all, and no third floor pressing on it.
Such a complex and grand interior design makes people feel relaxed and happy without any oppression or stuffiness. When you are in it, you will unconsciously unload your burdens and relax to enjoy the peace of the moment.
Lin Jiu felt that Si Shen had a good ability to accept things. At least, apart from a look of shock, he did not lose his composure.
Lin Jiu coughed dryly, "It's all fake, a visual deception, the space is actually still 70 square meters."
Si Xu looked at it for a long time before speaking, "Which decoration company did you find?"
Lin Jiu: “…”
Lin Jiu: “…This is not important.”
Si Xu: “…”
This is actually very important.
Lin Jiu must have been shocked by the decoration like this, okay
He originally wanted to decorate the second floor into a small bamboo forest and a small fish pond, which would look fresh and elegant. However, the decoration drawings gave him this "fresh and elegant" style. What else could he do but accept it
Si Xu walked in, stood beside the pool, dipped his fingers in the water, and tilted his head to look at Lin Jiu, "Is it fake?"
Lin Jiu: "The water is real."
Si Xu touched the grass beside the pond again. It was tender green and looked very fresh. It didn't look fake at all.
Lin Jiu: "The grass and trees are fake."
Si Xu looked at Xiao Cao carefully and said, "It doesn't look like it."
Lin Jiu put on the mask again to hide his lying self, "It just looks real."
Si Xu still looked doubtful.
In order to make Si Xu believe that all this is an illusion, Lin Jiu wants to take him to see the "end of the forest".
Lin Jiu walked a few steps towards the pool, and a green plant appeared in front of him, blocking the way. A small sign saying "No Entry" was hung on the plant.
"Come and try it." Lin Jiu called Si Xu over, "What did you find?"
Si Xu: "A more distant forest?"
"This is a wall." Lin Jiu lifted up the green plants that were blocking the way and reached out to pat the air behind the plants.
Si Xu touched it himself and found that there was indeed a wall in the place that seemed like air, but the eyes could not see it.
Si Xu's expression was very complicated. "Isn't this a bit dangerous? What if a guest bumps into it?"
Lin Jiu pointed at the road under his feet and said, "The paths leading to the walls are all covered with green plants and have small signs like this. If someone insists on going forward even though it says 'No Passing', I can't do anything about it."
Lin Jiu took Si Xu for a walk in the "forest". There were a total of 3 tables on the second floor, all hidden among the ancient trees and green plants.
There is a wooden bar at the entrance of the second floor. The style of the bar is consistent with the forest style. It can be used for seating people or as a small open kitchen. If Lin Jiu wants to prepare delicious food on the second floor, it is completely possible.
Lin Jiu said: "You are the first guest whose grade meets the requirements for the second floor."
Si Xu looked around the entire second floor and said, "I'm honored."
Someone rang the bell downstairs.
"I'll go check it out." Lin Jiu turned around and went downstairs.
There were two people standing at the door, one of them was a tall, bald man who looked a bit fierce and didn't look like a good person.
The other one had his hair combed neatly, and he was wearing a black coat, black gloves, and carrying a briefcase in his hand. He looked very serious. He kept his eyes on Lin Jiu until Lin Jiu came closer.
Lin Jiu felt uncomfortable being stared at by him. It seemed that they were not here to eat, and it was not time for dinner yet.
"What do you want?"
The man in the black coat took off his gloves, took out his ID and handed it to Lin Jiu, "We need to know some information from you about the collective self-exposure of the senior management, staff, agents and artists of 'Chuangxing'."
Lin Jiu glanced at the ID. The man's name was Bai Zhixing, and he was from the Special Forces Security Management Department.
Lin Jiu thought, what is coming will come.
Lin Jiu: "Do we need to go to the private room to talk?"
Bai Zhixing: "Of course."
Lin Jiu led them to the box, and Si Xu came down from upstairs and ran into them.
Bai Zhixing looked at Sixu with that staring look again.
Si Xu looked at Lin Jiu with an inquiring look.
Lin Jiu nodded, confirming Si Xu's guess that he was indeed a member of the "Special Security Department".
These two people are strangers. Si Xu has never seen them when he was at the base. They should be enhanced people who are out on a mission.
The three of them entered the box, and Si Xu also walked in.
Bai Zhixing: "The Special Security Department is questioning us. People who are not involved please stay away."
Si Xu sat beside Lin Jiu by himself, "You should know best whether I am an irrelevant person or not."
He is Lin Jiu's protector, and everything that happens to Lin Jiu has to do with him.
Bai Zhixing stared at Si Xu for a long time before saying coldly, "Don't interfere with our work."
Si Xu nodded, indicating that they could do as they pleased.
Bai Zhixing and the bald sturdy man sat down opposite Lin Jiu. Bai Zhixing took out a recording device from his briefcase and placed it on the wooden table. He also took out a notebook and a pen, ready to question.
Bai Zhixing asked directly: "Does the self-exposure of the employees of Chuangxing have anything to do with you?"
Lin Jiu: “…”
Si Xu: “…”
Si Xu changed his sitting position and wanted to remind Lin Jiu that they had no evidence and Lin Jiu could not submit the evidence himself.
Lin Jiu: "What does their self-exposure have to do with me?"
The recording device is on the table, can he admit it? If he admits it, wouldn't it be irrefutable evidence
Si Xu was relieved, it turned out that he was not stupid.
Bai Zhixing: "Did you meet them before they exposed themselves?"
Lin Jiu: “I have seen him.”
This cannot be concealed. In addition to the surveillance footage, there are many eyewitnesses.
Bai Zhixing: "What did you talk about?"
Lin Jiu: "Let's talk about our ideals, life, and the path we will take in the future."
Lin Jiu touched the mask on his face, fortunately it could cover his lying face.
Bai Zhixing: "Where did you talk? In the conference room on the seventh floor?"
Lin Jiu: “Yes.”
Si Xu: “…”
Lin Jiu had no choice but to admit it; the receptionist was the witness.
Bai Zhixing: "But the surveillance camera in the meeting room on the seventh floor didn't capture you. What did you do?"
Lin Jiu spread his hands, "Maybe the surveillance is broken. I don't go there often, so I don't know much about it."
Bai Zhixing: "Some time ago, you were cyberbullied. After the people who came to cause trouble went back, they all went to the doctor for headaches. Later, they also exposed themselves online. Did you know about this?"
Lin Jiu: "I know about the online apology, but I don't know whether it caused a headache or not."
Bai Zhixing put down his pen and stared into Lin Jiu's eyes. "Now let me ask you, are you a strengthened person?"
Lin Jiu subconsciously glanced at Si Xu beside him. He had already decided to become a human in disguise, but it was easy to admit that he was a human. If he was asked what abilities he had, how would he answer? He didn't know what abilities a human could have!
Lin Jiu glanced at Si Xu again. Si Xu had the ability to "drag the table", so could he have the ability to "push the table"? But he couldn't do it!
Bai Zhixing reminded him, "Don't lie. I know how many lies you have told since you opened your mouth."
Lin Jiu: “…”
He looked at Bai Zhixing suspiciously. Could it be that enhanced humans also have the ability of "lie detector"
Lin Jiu said vaguely: "If you call it strengthening people, then strengthen people."
Bai Zhixing: "What abilities do you have?"
"It could be... it should be..." Lin Jiu hadn't finished making up his own abilities yet. He rolled his eyes and asked the bald man who had been silent the whole time, "What abilities do you have?"
Tell me your ability so I can use it as a reference! How can I copy it without the answer
The bald man's head began to deform. His mouth and nose stretched forward, and long brown hair began to grow on his bald head. Then, hair began to grow on his face and neck. Soon, a good human head turned into a huge brown bear head!
Lin Jiu: "!!!!!!"oo
Si Xu: “…”
The bear-headed burly man growled softly, somewhat complacently.
Lin Jiu was horrified. "You... aren't you bald? Why does a bear have hair on its head?!"
Strong man: “…”
Si Xu: “…”
Bai Zhixing: “…”
Isn’t this focus too biased?!
"Why is there only a bear head but no bear body?" Having a bear head might be scary, but it is definitely not as practical as a strong bear body and sharp claws.
Strong man: “…”
Bai Zhixing: "... He can transform his entire body, but he only transforms his head for you."
Lin Jiu shook his head. This homework was too difficult. He couldn't copy it. He couldn't just change his head into a fish head... bah, change his head into a mermaid head. That would require magic sea water, and if he wasn't careful his whole body might change. He hadn't tried changing just a head yet.
The sturdy man's head turned back into a human head, but it was still bald.
Lin Jiu stared at his shiny big head again and again, unable to understand why he had hair when he was a bear but no hair when he was a human.
Lin Jiu's confusion was written all over his face, and the two people opposite him were speechless for a moment.
Bai Zhixing: "Don't think about how to make it up, just tell the truth. If you lie, I can see through it at a glance."
Lin Jiu signaled Bai Zhixing to look at the recording device on his desk. How could he not lie? Waiting for evidence to catch him
Bai Zhixing: “…”
Bai Zhixing: "If you can't say it, you can just show it to us."
Lin Jiu shook his head repeatedly, "You can't show it. If you show it, you're done."
"Bang!" The bald strong man didn't know what nerve was touched, and excitedly slapped the solid wood table with his palm, his eyes full of fighting spirit.
Lin Jiu: “…”
Si Xu: “…”
Bai Zhixing held the sturdy man down, his eyes full of excitement, "You can try to see if we can finish this."
Lin Jiu: “…”
Lin Jiu: "No, that's not good..."
"There's nothing wrong with it! Come on!" The sturdy man slapped the table and stood up.
Lin Jiu: “…”
What's wrong with these enhanced people? Are they so excited when they hear about fighting and comparing abilities
Bai Zhixing turned off the recording device and put it back into his briefcase. "Your ability should be related to sound, right?"
Lin Jiu: “…”
Can you guess this?!
Bai Zhixing: "It should be a mental group attack ability, am I right?"
Lin Jiu: “…”
Kind of true.
Bai Zhixing raised his lips and said, "I want to try to see if my 'Eye of Truth' can break your ability. Do you want to go to the 'Special Security Department' and try it?"
Lin Jiu still shook his head. If he turned the enhanced humans into a group of bootlickers, wouldn't the "Special Security Department" fight him to the death
"No need. My ability is indeed related to sound. I can't try this. Something will go wrong if I try."
Bai Zhixing: "You are confident, but don't underestimate the enhanced people of our Special Security Department."
Lin Jiu: "I don't look down on you. I'm just worried that if I turn you into lickers, your leader will hunt me down to the ends of the earth. For my own safety, it's better not to try."
Bai Zhixing: “…”
Aren't you underestimating me?!
Bai Zhixing: "If we can't see your abilities with our own eyes, speculation is just speculation and cannot be recorded."
Lin Jiu thought for a moment and said, "How about you guys step aside and let Mr. Xiong and I give it a try?"
Mr. Xiong: "My name is Zang Ye."
Lin Jiu: "Mr. Xiong is more convenient. If Mr. Bai wants to try it, why not wait until next time?"
Zang Ye: “…”
Bai Zhixing: "No, I want to see it with my own eyes."
Lin Jiu stopped trying to persuade Bai Zhixing. He turned to Si Xu, who also said, "I want to see you, too."
Lin Jiu: “…”
Lin Jiu: "It's not safe, there's nothing to see."
Si Xu laughed and said, "It's okay, I want to see it."
Lin Jiu was helpless, "Then you... plug your ears, stand behind me, don't chase me, I don't want to affect you."
This time, Bai Zhixing and Si Xu did not refuse. They covered their ears and retreated to the corner.
Lin Jiu opened the box and dragged the wooden table and chairs to the wall to make room in the box.
None of the three understood what he was doing and could only wait.
Lin Jiu sat on the wooden chair by the wall, took off the mask on his face, and curled his lips slightly towards Zang Ye, "Turn into a bear and show it to me."
Zang Ye had been on guard the whole time. When he saw Lin Jiu's face, he was obviously stunned. When he saw Lin Jiu curled his lips, his eyes were fixed on her. When he heard Lin Jiu's voice again, he felt dizzy. He accepted the order excitedly, his muscles swelled, and his clothes were torn. The long brown hair appeared again. This time, it was not just a bear head, but the whole person turned into a bear!
A big adult brown bear!
Bai Zhixing: “!!!!!!”
Si Xu: “!!!!!!”
Lin Jiu's eyes lit up, and he felt the joy of finding a fellow creature. Even though he was a bear and he was a mermaid, they were both different species after all, and they were the same kind.
Lin Jiu stretched out his hand, "Be careful, don't break my things."
The big brown bear was like an obedient dog. It put its paws on the ground, inhaled and tightened its abdomen. It came over nimbly and raised its big head to ask for a touch.
Just when Lin Jiu was about to touch the big brown bear's fur to see if it was as nice to touch as a cat or a dog, someone grabbed his wrist.
"It's okay." Si Xu's voice was deep.
Lin Jiu: “…”
He quickly stood up, put on a mask, and dispersed his charm.
The big brown bear, who failed to get what he wanted, stood up straight, raised his front legs and wanted to pounce on Lin Jiu. What would happen if he was pounced on? !
"Okay, change back and don't break my things!"
The big brown bear transformed into a living person on the spot without any burden, and his whole body was naked.
Si Xu immediately took Lin Jiu out of the box and left it to them.
Someone soon brought clothes over, and after Zang Ye had packed up, Si Xu took Lin Jiu back to the box.
Bai Zhixing took out a management agreement with a serious expression and gave it to Lin Jiu. It contained all the behavioral constraints on enhanced people. Even if Lin Jiu was not a member of their "Special Security Department", he had to abide by this management agreement.
Zang Ye always wanted to get close to Lin Jiu. When Lin Jiu was signing, he almost had a fight with Si Xu, because Si Xu stopped him and wouldn't let him get close to Lin Jiu, so he became very angry.
After Lin Jiu signed, Bai Zhixing and the young comrade who brought the clothes wanted to drag Zang Ye away. Zang Ye didn't want to go. He stared at Lin Jiu with his small black eyes and almost performed what it means for a tough guy to cry!
Zang Ye was tall and strong, and it was really difficult to deal with him. It was only after Lin Jiu said, "Go back," that he obediently followed Bai Zhixing and left.
The young comrade who brought the clothes was almost frightened to death. It was really unbearable to see the mighty and majestic Zang Ye pretending to be pitiful. It would definitely give people nightmares! ! ! ! ! !
Lin Jiu cleaned the box and restored it to its original state. When he looked up, he saw Si Xu's face was very ugly. He was shocked and asked, "What, what happened?"
Lin Jiu's ability made Si Xu very annoyed. This was obviously an ability of forced charm. As long as Lin Jiu wanted, he could charm anyone. How could this not make Si Xu anxious
Si Xu suppressed his emotions and said, "Don't use this ability... anymore, okay?"
Lin Jiu nodded, "Okay."
He had no intention of using it, but they insisted on trying it.
Si Xu's expression eased, "Will Zang Ye always be like this?"
That would be a real disaster.
Lin Jiu shook his head, "I know my limits. I should be able to return to normal in a few days."
After all, he is an enhanced human, and his overall strength is stronger than that of ordinary people. Besides, he didn't want to hurt him.
Dinner time was approaching and Lin Jiu didn't have time to chat. He asked Si Xu to go upstairs first while he prepared dinner.
As soon as Si Xu reached the second floor, his cell phone rang. It was Wen Qin calling, "Is everything done?"
"Someone suppressed the news in advance, and before I could take any action, all the discussions about Lin Jiu and the queen of singing disappeared." Things were a bit strange, so Wen Qin immediately called Si Xu.
It was originally just groundless gossip, and netizens didn't believe it. Si Xu and Lin Jiu didn't believe it either. They thought it was just a matter of suppressing the heat and sending a few lawyers' letters, but they didn't expect that someone would care about this matter more than them.
Si Xu: "Have you found the person who suppressed the news?"
Wen Qin: "We are checking."
Si Xu: "As soon as possible."
Wen Qin: "Okay."
