"Is this what he left behind?"
Lin Jie looked at the brass box in front of him.
This is a cube with a length, width and height of about twenty centimeters.
A square is concave in the top surface, which is sunk down a section, and the eight corners are inlaid with rubies about the size of a pinky fingernail, which vaguely forms a whole and "locks" the box.
There is no doubt that it is very delicate, with a peculiar and exotic style, and it looks very precious, which is very in line with Ji Zhixu's "rich" identity.
Sure enough, someone who can "slag" such a young lady won't be an ordinary person...
If, as Lin Jie guessed, the box contained a token of love, or something like a photo of this scumbag that he deliberately left as a threat, then the box was equivalent to a safe.
Make the safe like a treasure chest, and this guy has enough shit.
Lin Jie looked slightly disgusted.
Ji Zhixu saw Lin Jie's face looking at the box, and when he found that there was a trace of disgust in his eyes, his heart instantly filled with anxiety, and his hands holding the cane tightened.
Oops, is it because the seal on this box is too simple, then doesn't her behavior to look for the owner of the bookstore seem a bit overkill and nothing to do
She didn't know the runes of the white wizards, but since Harris locked the original formula of "Foul Blood" of the Wolf of the Sky Court in this box, it showed that he believed in the safety of this box very much.
This is the foundation of a hunter organization!
This man who once made "White Wolf" one of the most famous hunter organizations in Nuojin will never be ambiguous on this.
Although in the past month, he was tempted by the magic mirror egg, his mind gradually degenerated, he lost his mind, and finally became a crazy and blind martyr.
But in fact, before that, Harris was a wise and steady person who was absolutely calm and calm, good at planning.
Ji Zhixu's time in White Wolf was not short. If she was dissatisfied with this organization, she would not have joined it at first—because of Ji Bonong's support, she had enough other options.
Harris was once a consummate leader, conspirator.
This can still be seen when he was only affected by the magic mirror egg for a week - he used the death of Kaki to escape, turned to the Red Sect as a shield, and planned to use Charles' body to assassinate Wilde.
Ji Zhixu got some clues in that last underground stronghold, enough for her to piece together a general truth.
These three things, Harris did secretly and quickly, except for the third thing, I don't know why it was suddenly noticed, which led to the rapid demise of the subsequent Red Sect...
Of course, Ji Zhixu knew what might be hidden in it. After all, Wilde, but the bookstore owner called "Pharaoh" a guest.
But as the influence of the magic mirror egg deepened, he was gradually swallowed up by the animal nature in the filthy blood, and he no longer had the ability to think. The subsequent madness and rout seemed to be doomed.
In short, Harris did not forget to bring the formula when he was at his craziest, which shows that he attached great importance to the formula.
For a person who is cautious and confident, who attaches so much importance to formulas, the rune seal on this box will definitely not be simple.
Ji Zhixu thought about it, maybe it's not easy for them, but for the bookstore owner, it's not necessarily...
She hurriedly lowered her head and said: "Well, this is his relic, which may be insignificant to you, but it is a very crucial step for me, I beg you to help me with this, and I will repay with everything I have. you."
relic…
Lin Jie twitched the corners of his mouth secretly. Forget it, these rich people's grievances and grievances probably always end up with concrete pillars filled with corpses.
A person who dares to deceive the eldest lady of the giant monopoly company has probably already thought about what will happen to him.
He was able to struggle for a few rounds, which, to be honest, was quite remarkable.
I hope he has sincere repentance when he leaves.
"Everything is unnecessary... This box is quite interesting, and I don't need your so-called repayment."
Lin Jie smiled and said, "I instructed you only because you needed guidance."
This sentence is indeed true. At the beginning, when Ji Zhixu did not reveal his name, he still solved the problem for the other party.
"I made a blunder, sorry." Ji Zhixu nodded in shame, with a slight blush on his fair face.
In fact, as soon as she said this, she regretted it. Isn't everything that she has now given by Mr. Lin? Saying repayment is too ignorant, she should have dedicated everything.
"There's nothing to apologize for, just remember to read books often."
Lin Jie shook his head dumbly, and entered the process of speech therapy again. He felt that it was better to chat with the other party first, so he put the box aside for the time being, and signaled Moen to take care of it.
However, he was rather surprised why the eldest lady asked him to unlock the lock.
Um... On the one hand, the other party's trust in him, on the other hand, it seems that there are not many people the other party can trust.
By the way, Lin Jie thought about it, and remembered Ji Zhixu's subordinate who ran away halfway last time. That guy seems to have gone back to report the young lady's rebellious behavior.
Even the subordinates dared to go back and make small reports in person. This eldest lady is far from the freedom she imagined, and she still lives in the shadow and shadow of her father.
In this case, there is indeed a very lack of trustworthy people.
She should have a deep conflict with her family now, otherwise she will never meet a scumbag, especially Ji Bonong. I don't know if Ji Bonong talked to her last time or something.
Lin Jie thought for a while, and then simply asked, "your father, has he talked to you?"
Ji Zhixu's eyes widened, as expected of Mr. Lin, he even knew this.
She nodded: "He just found me once a while ago, but he obviously still treats me like a child, but I've grown up."
Lin Jie heard the pride in her tone and smiled: "It looks like you have successfully persuaded him, congratulations."
Ji Zhixu said: "Yes, I have successfully persuaded him to stand on my side. He said that he would find time to come and talk to you in person about more sales channels for books in the bookstore... Please forgive me for making my own decisions. , gave him some advice, otherwise he wouldn't let me move on."
Lin Jie blinked, wait, Miss, what did you talk to your father about
This is like a small shop doing retail and wholesale, suddenly being told that "you are attracted by the richest man, and he wants to cooperate with you", which is outrageous.
Although it is not necessarily a bad thing, it must be a troublesome thing... and there is no real room for cooperation, at most cheat... Oh no, pull a little investment or something.
However, after all, it was the eldest lady's heart, Lin Jie nodded: "Okay, I see."
Having said that, he looked at Ji Zhixu with a little helplessness, shook his head, and sighed, "You need to cultivate some people you can trust. You can't always come to me for this kind of thing."
Ji Zhixu always felt that the owner of the bookstore looked at him like a child who didn't grow up, doing something unreliable.
She opened her mouth, is it really that simple to open this box...
Although she can indeed find the wizard supported by her family to open the box, but since the death of Ryan "Rat" last time, she found that the loyalty brand of the underground intelligence controller had been touched, and she began to suspect that there was a sale among the white wizards. Traitor of the Unbranded Method.
In desperation, I chose to come to the bookstore...
"Crack."
The two suddenly heard the sound of Ji Kuo turning, turned their heads at the same time, and saw Mo En holding the box in his hand, and his hand was in the middle of the box.
The whole box was divided into four parts, opened like a petal, and the top four corners were the vertices of the "petal", which split outward about thirty degrees.
At the very center, what Morn was "twisting" in his hand was the sunken part at the top of the box, which now became a "lid", which Morn picked up.
The girl was expressionless, with some surprise in her eyes. She and the two looked at each other, embarrassed, and put the lid back in her hand: "Well, I accidentally opened it."
