City b.
The lights in the high-end ward of a private hospital were on and many people gathered in the room.
Almost all the Liao family members gathered here.
Old Master Liao, leaning on a cane, walked towards a young man with brown hair.
"Let's get started now."
The brown-haired man with green eyes said, "I want to confirm with you again. This drug is very dangerous. You may wake up after taking it, or you may die immediately. Are you sure you want to take it?"
Old Master Liao pounded his cane and said, "At this point, we have no choice but to take a risk. That little bastard has no feelings for the Liao family. Now the only one who can stop the little bastard is Ting Wang. As long as he wakes up, we can catch that little bastard."
The brown-haired young man took out a medicine and asked, "Who will come?"
Liao Tingyue's family looked at Zhou Chanying and Liao Yuan. It would be a lie for them to say they didn't hate them. If it weren't for Zhou Chanying and the Zhou family, the Liao family wouldn't be in their current predicament. They should be held responsible for this matter.
Old Master Liao said, "It's the third son's wife. She caused the trouble, so she should solve it."
Zhou Chanying's face turned pale. She knew what this meant. If this medicine was really effective, it would be fine. But if it was not effective and killed Liao Tingwang, it would be almost the same as if she had killed someone with her own hands.
It's not that she wasn't afraid, but she had no choice. All that stuff was revealed by that beast Lin Jiu. If there was no evidence, she would still have argued a few more times. Now she and the Zhou family were doomed to die in this matter, and the task force would be here tomorrow. It would be inconvenient to do anything now, and they no longer had time.
Zhou Chanying went to take the medicine with trembling hands, but was caught by Liao Yuan.
Liao Yuan said anxiously: "Grandpa, why do you have to let my mom come? Can't we let someone else come? Otherwise, let... let the nurse come, I will pay her and let her do it."
The brown-haired and green-haired girl chuckled but said nothing else.
Mr. Liao shouted angrily, "Shut up! Did you tell the whole world about this?!"
Liao Yuan angrily said, "Then why don't you let uncle's family come? You are bullying us orphans and widows, right?!"
"You bastard!" Old Master Liao raised his cane and hit Zhou Chanying. Zhou Chanying put her hand up to block it, and the cane hit her arm.
"Stop making a fuss, I'll feed him." Zhou Chanying took the medicine and walked to the bedside.
Liao Yuan stared at Old Man Liao with hatred in his eyes.
The brown-haired young man smiled and said, "If he is lucky enough to wake up, the Liao family must not forget my promise."
Mr. Liao immediately changed his attitude, "Don't worry, we will definitely get it done."
Zhou Chanying lifted up Liao Tingwang's head and fed him the medicine.
Everyone stared at the person on the bed nervously and saw that he was still breathing.
"How long will it take..." Mr. Liao asked how long it would take for the effect to take effect, but in the end he couldn't find the brown hair and blue hair anymore.
He left without a sound and no one noticed.
Lin Jiu woke up early in the morning and was still a little dazed.
So many things happened yesterday that now seem exciting and unreal.
Lin Jiu squinted for a while, got out of bed to wash, casually checked his magic value, screamed "Ah", and swallowed the toothpaste foam.
"System! Why is my magic value only 87 points?!"
He had more than 400 magic points, but now only this much is left, which also includes the magic points from recycling so many fish bones from yesterday!
Host, do you think it's easy to find evidence? It's really costly!
Lin Jiu: …
Lin Jiu: …
Lin Jiu has angina pectoris.
All the magic points I worked so hard to accumulate were reduced to just this little bit.
Lin Jiu: Are there any more invisible fish missions? I want to earn magic points.
The host still has a little blue demon mission to complete.
Lin Jiu: …
Lin Jiu: Okay, I’ll do it tonight. It’s 100 magic points, it’s worth it.
Host, let's go find the magic crystal if we have a chance. One of them can make you a millionaire instantly!
Lin Jiu: That location is on the high seas. It’s not easy to get there. We have to find an opportunity.
After Lin Jiu finished packing, he rode his bike to the store.
He was still used to riding a bike. The black Xiaolan that his grandfather gave him was too flashy. He didn't buy a parking space when he bought the house, so he had no place to put the Xiaolan, so he had to put it in Sixu's garage first.
Lin Jiu saw two golden heads at the door of the store from afar, one tall and one short, the tall and thin boy was holding a little girl who was only five or six years old. The blond boy saw Lin Jiu coming and waved to him from afar, very enthusiastically.
Lin Jiu rode his bike up to them, supported himself on one foot, and looked at them.
Both of them were very beautiful. The little girl was a real doll, with big, beautiful green eyes. Her long golden hair was braided around her neck with a circle of small flowers on it. She was very cute.
"Hi, Lin, this is my sister Lai Lei. She is five and a half years old today. I said that she wanted to enjoy a meal, and she insisted on coming with me. Is that okay?"
The Magic Fish Inn has a lot of rules. Lottie was worried that Lin Jiu would refuse, so she added, "We just need a place to eat, and we will pay for it ourselves."
Little Lai Lei looked up at Lin Jiu, speaking fluent Mandarin in a serious tone, "Can I come into the store and enjoy a meal? I heard the food here is very delicious."
"Of course you can. Please come in." Lin Jiu got out of the car, pushed the car to the wall, and led the brother and sister into the store.
Lin Jiu felt very different about these two people. There was no stranger feeling as if he had only met them once or twice. Instead, there was a strange sense of closeness, which made Lin Jiu feel strange.
It's not opening time yet, but luckily they came early and can sit anywhere.
Lin Jiu planned to prepare food for them first, and by the time they finished eating, it would be almost lunch time.
Lin Jiu asked: "Can you guys prepare the food now?"
"Of course you can, thank you." After entering the store, the brother and sister took a good look at the furnishings inside.
Lin Han came again today, and Chang Beimu was with him. Si Xu should have arranged for Chang Beimu to come more often in order to improve her strength as soon as possible. Her uneven short hair had been trimmed, and it looked much better, but it was really short.
Lin Han is a chatterbox and will talk about all kinds of gossip whenever he gets the chance.
He asked Lin Jiu to explain why the brother and sister were standing at the door. It was not that they were not allowed to come in, but that they did not want to come in.
Lin Han remembered the blond young man, and also knew that the young man and Boss Lin had made an appointment to have dinner in the restaurant. When he saw him coming, Lin Han invited him into the restaurant, but they refused. They wanted to wait for Lin Jiu to come at the door.
I don't know what kind of operation this is. Is it more polite to do this? Lin Han doesn't know.
Little Lailei walked to the kitchen bar. She was too short, so she patted Lottie beside her and asked Lottie to pick her up.
Lottie picked her up without complaint. Little Lailei's vision became higher and she could finally watch Lin Jiu work.
Little Lai Lei looked at it very seriously, "Lin, can I go into the kitchen?"
Lottie said hurriedly: "No, no, you can't, this is very rude, Lailei."
Little Lailei crossed her chubby little hands and said, "I'm asking Lottie. As long as Lin agrees, I can go in."
Lin Jiu was full of curiosity about them. "I know why you want to come to the kitchen. This is where the chef stays."
Little Lailei's big green eyes were full of seriousness. "I'll get closer to you. It will make me feel very comfortable."
Lin Jiu was stunned. He didn't expect this to be the answer.
Lin Jiu picked up a piece of fish and showed it to her, "Are you saying that you don't eat seafood?"
Little Lailei shook her head, "Of course not. A lady would not sell her senses for food."
Lin Jiu: “…”
Little Lailei was still waiting for his answer, "May I?"
Under normal circumstances, Lin Jiu would refuse without hesitation, but this time he was about to agree, but he still refused.
"No, the kitchen is very dangerous, children are not allowed to enter."
Little Lai Lei was disappointed and looked at Lin Jiu eagerly, "Lin, you are such a gentle person."
Lin Jiu: "Thank you."
Lottie was worried that her sister would disturb Lin Jiu's work, so she took her sister away and found a place to sit down.
She lowered her voice and spoke in her native language, "Lailei, you are not such an ignorant child."
Little Lailei sighed sadly, "Lottie, you are so slow."
Lottie lowered her voice, "Are you underestimating your brother's intelligence?"
Little Lailei spread her hands. "He has a very good feeling for me. I like him very much. Lottie, can you tell me why? Is it love at first sight or is there a kinship between us? Don't you feel it?"
Lottie was stunned for a moment, then whispered, "But he is a boy, his age doesn't match, and he doesn't look like us at all. He is a genuine Asian."
Little Lai Lei stretched out her chubby little hand and touched her brother's dog. "I passed my smart genes to you. Did you receive it?"
Lottie: “…”
Lottie: "I don't think I should have brought you out."
Little Lai Lei shook her head, "No, you should be glad that you brought me out. You praised someone so sincerely in front of us, so I decided to follow and see."
Little Lailei said seriously: "Lottie, we don't have any unexpected good feelings towards strangers. If we do, there must be a reason."
Little Lailei: "Lottie, this is my great grandfather's lifelong regret, and it is also my grandfather's heartache. Father came all the way here to fulfill my grandfather's wish. We must be more careful and more careful."
Lottie spread her hands. "No matter how careful we are, we can't make a mistake about age and gender."
Little Lai Lei sighed, "According to the time calculation, my aunt should be close to 50 years old. Do you think a woman of this age will meet a handsome man, fall in love with him, and give birth to a cute and beautiful child? How old will this child be?"
Lottie: “…”
Little Lailei: "Admit it, I am smarter than you."
Lottie shook her head, "No, no, I just made a mistake..."
Lottie suddenly fell silent, her eyes widened in horror, "If your speculation is true, then our aunt is gone, right?!"
Lottie also paid attention to the news on the Internet yesterday. He knew everything that happened to Lin Jiu.
He knew that Lin Jiu's biological mother was Vera, who had passed away when Lin Jiu was more than three months old...
Lottie slammed his fist down on the table and uttered two words through gritted teeth, "Liao! Home!"
Lottie picked up little Lailei and ran out.
Little Lai Lei screamed in fear. Although her analysis was correct, she didn't know about what happened on the Internet, nor did she know that Lin Jiu's mother was no longer around. If it was true as she speculated, they would have lost track of her.
Speculation is just speculation after all. Now that we have a direction, we just need to check Vera's background and we will definitely find clues.
Lottie ran to the door and didn't say goodbye to Lin Jiu. She hurried back and said, "Lin, I won't eat today. I'll come back another day!"
Lottie rushed out of the shop carrying little Lailei and disappeared.
Lin Jiu: “…”
Lin Han and Lin Jiu had the same confused look on their faces.
Lin Jiu looked at the food in his hand that was not yet prepared... Forget it, let's have lunch.
Not long after Lottie and his sister left, Lin Jiu's cell phone rang.
It’s Si Xu’s call.
Last night Si Xu sent Lin Jiu home. Lin Jiu thought Si Xu would stay overnight, but he didn't expect that Si Xu just kissed him and told him to go back and rest early, with no intention of staying.
In addition to doubting his own charm, Lin Jiu also wondered if Si Xu had any hidden illness
Everything about Lin Jiu was written all over his face, which made Si Xu not know whether to laugh or cry. He grabbed the man and started kissing him again.
Si Xu felt sorry for him because he was so tired, so how could he bear to continue to torment him
What's more, Si Xu felt that Lin Jiu was not ready yet.
Lin Jiu answered the phone and Si Xu asked him what the foreign brother and sister were doing in the store just now
Lin Jiu subconsciously looked outside the door.
Si Xu seemed to know his actions, "They have special identities and are the focus of the Special Security Department."
If they are allowed to enter the country, the higher-ups will definitely not let them wander around without any preparation, and their whereabouts will definitely be monitored.
Si Xu was in charge of this matter. He must be curious about why the brother and sister went to find Lin Jiu. If it was meal time, he could understand it as eating. The key point was that this time was not lunch time.
Lin Jiu: "They are coming to eat."
Si Xu: "This time?"
Lin Jiu told Si about inviting Lottie to the restaurant for dinner.
After all, it's all about repaying a favor.
The few bandits who escaped were surrounded and blocked by the police, and some of them resisted violently and were either shot to death or died from exhaustion.
They also gained something. When a berserker was on the verge of death, in order to keep him alive, a team of enhanced people reluctantly forced him to drink a sip of red fruit wine, and successfully saved his life. The bandit was brought back for interrogation, but nothing useful had been revealed so far.
Now there is only one real enhanced human on the run, and that is the one who can create thick fog, and he is very cunning.
Si Xu slowed down his voice, "Thank you for your hard work."
Lin Jiu didn't feel it was hard work, because Si Xu was responsible for compensating for all the losses, so Lin Jiu didn't lose anything. The Liuxi fish he gave away gained him a good reputation, and he also got a lot of "pocket money" from Si Xu.
Speaking of which, Si Xu always asks him to transfer money. Last time, he prepared a few boxes of meal sets and received a big red envelope and several transfers.
Si Xu said that it was pocket money from grandpa and grandparents, and Lin Jiu had to accept it. If he didn't accept it, Lin Jiu would have to return it to the old people himself.
After that, Si Xu transferred several more sums to him, each time for several million. Si Xu meant to keep the money with Lin Jiu and deduct it from the money when he had meals.
Lin Jiu originally wanted to make money by selling black star beads, but it turned out that he had no chance at all. He often received large amounts of money, so he didn't have to worry about not having money to buy the package.
Lin Jiu has gotten used to it now. It is common to have a few million more in the account from time to time, and he is not surprised at all.
Lin Jiu felt an inexplicable fondness for the brother and sister, and wanted to find out what made them so special, but he held back the words when they came to his lips.
This is Si Xu's mission, and it is not appropriate for him as an outsider to know too much.
Si Xu asked again: "They probably didn't have dinner, right? Do you know why they left in such a hurry?"
Lin Jiu: "I don't know. I was preparing food for them, and they seemed to be chatting. Suddenly, the brother picked up his sister and ran out. Then he came back and told me that we didn't want to eat today and would come back another day."
Lin Jiu recounted all the details of the incident.
Si Xu's focus was on Lin Jiu and the others preparing food separately and then preparing lunch.
Si Xu: "Do you ask them to prepare lunch in advance?"
Lin Jiu: "Ah... yes, what happened?"
Si Xu: "I thought you would ask him to come back next time, or ask the customers to eat one round, and then you would arrange for them to eat when there is a vacancy."
This was Lin Jiu's normal operation. Sometimes when Si Xu and Jiang Ge came, they would wait until Lin Jiu finished his work before they could eat.
For example, Fu Yu had no seat and could only eat with Lin Jiu and the others.
Lin Jiu didn't think much at the time, "Now the time is just enough, don't let them wait too long, let them do it first..., it seems I have to leave a private room ready, don't wait for friends to come and have no place to eat, it's too embarrassing."
Si Xu was silent for a while before asking, "Are you already friends?"
Lin Jiu was stunned. "No, this is only the second time we meet."
Si Xu said: "Xiao Jiu, you make me feel that you have a close relationship with them."
Lin Jiu: “…”
This is how he feels in his heart.
Lin Jiu said: "They are all easy to get along with. Lottie is sunny and cheerful, and little Lailei is very pretty and cute. She speaks like an adult, has clear thinking and a serious expression, and is very funny..."
Lin Jiu fell silent when he reached here.
Si Xu was also silent.
After a long while, he said, "This is the first time you have praised someone like this in front of me."
Lin Jiu was cold and indifferent to everyone, even Ling Chen and Huo Wei who were in the same group and could be considered friends. However, Si Xu could see that Lin Jiu was not very close to them.
Even when it came to Jiang Ge and Jiang Xiwen, there was always something between Lin Jiu and them.
Si Xu is special to Lin Jiu, and this is also the motivation for Si Xu to confess and pursue him. Si Xu also feels this specialness.
Now, Lin Jiu has someone he treats specially again.
Si Xu didn't think that Lin Jiu's "specialness" was the same as her "specialness" to him. After all, the little girl was only five or six years old, and there must be some reason behind it.
Si Xu said: "Xiao Jiu, what happened to you?"
Lin Jiu shook his head, but realized that he was on the phone and Si Xu couldn't see it.
Lin Jiu: "I don't know, I just have a little crush on them, I think they are cute... Sorry, don't get me wrong, this is not liking... No, it is liking, I like them a little... But this is not love, it is different from the feeling you have for me, I love you."
Si Xu: “…”
I was already feeling jealous, but then I was caught off guard by the confession.
This was the first time that Lin Jiu said she loved him.
… on the phone!
