Prima lowered the Primordial Potions Secret Book, which had been covering up in front of her, a little, and peeked at Lin Jie, who was continuing to read.
Andrew has been gone for a while.
The bookstore without customers has returned to its original desertedness again, with a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, as if it is isolated from the world and has an indescribable calm.
The hustle and bustle of the outside world has nothing to do with it.
The young man quietly turned over a page of the book in his hand, his expression was very focused, and he looked down slightly with a somewhat calm bookish air, just like a very ordinary and harmless student who was still studying in an ivory tower. Not like someone who has worked as a university lecturer.
Not to mention some mysterious and powerful bookstore owner with forbidden knowledge.
He is too young, and has a really good temper, and he is very good at taking care of people...
Prima thought this way more than once.
Although she has only been in the bookstore for a few days, she can still feel the "approachable" feeling of the owner of the bookstore from time to time.
Kind and friendly like a friend next door.
It always makes people think "is the owner of this bookstore really an ordinary person".
But when her eyes turned to the fat white cat beside the young man and the ring on his hand, that thought would vanish in an instant.
"What's more... Even the vice president of the Truth Society that my sister often mentioned, a very powerful person, came to visit Boss Lin in person and apologized to him."
Prima shuddered as she recalled what she had seen before.
Andrew was like that, as if he was possessed by something invisible... There must be a big problem with that book.
Just like this secret book in her hand, it not only contains various introductions of medicinal herbs, but also seals some magical medicinal herbs that have almost disappeared.
Those medicinal materials "grow", "survive" in the book, and even have their own consciousness.
Every book in the bookstore is not ordinary.
So how can the owner of the bookstore be ordinary
"And that silver box is definitely not wrong. It is the legendary treasure of the town clan of Vice President Andrew's family, the 'Clock Wheelworm'. He even gave such an important treasure of the family as a gift to Boss Lin. , it seems that he must have done something to offend Boss Lin..."
"Looking at it from another angle, since Vice President Andrew can apologize with such an important thing, it must be because if they can't be forgiven, their entire family will suffer more terrible things than losing the clock rotifer."
"...If you think about it this way, it always feels like Boss Lin is the bad guy."
"…Wait, can't it, won't it?"
The girl who was thinking wildly suddenly looked dull, feeling as if she had touched an obvious fact.
If Boss Lin was the villain, things that couldn't be understood before seemed to make sense all at once.
Prima looked at Lin Jie cautiously, and there was only a faint voice left in her heart, trying to convince herself that he was actually a good person, but his methods were... special.
The cat may just look ugly, the abnormality on Andrew's body is just an illusion, and it is normal for the books in the bookstore to be a little strange as extraordinary items...
Lin Jie, who noticed Prima's gaze, raised his head and asked with some doubts, "Is something wrong? Little Prima classmate."
He gently closed the book, and when he flipped through the book, the movements of his hands were very gentle—he always handled it gently when reading, which was a basic respect for knowledge.
But if it was a book as a commodity, he might be a little rough.
Prima hurriedly shook her head and waved her hand, "It's okay, I just miss my sister a little..."
"I see."
Lin Jie put the book aside and nodded, and then said helplessly: "I asked Andrew to help, it's impossible for Jerome to plead guilty immediately, I understand your anxiety, after all, your sister may be in a very bad situation right now. Dangerous, and it may even have been unpredictable.”
"But you must also understand that it's useless to be anxious now, it's messing up your mind and affecting the recovery of your injury. What you need is to calm down, then wait, and let yourself greet the enemy you hate with the most powerful face. Hit them hard."
"Understand?"
Lin Jie was persuasive, and when she saw Prima's little chicken pecking her head, she showed her a very reliable and gentle smile, and said, "I will let Andrew call my communication device as soon as there is news. I will definitely inform you of the situation as soon as possible, don't worry."
Prima felt warm in her heart, hummed, and said, "Thank you."
Although Boss Lin's methods are a bit weird, he is definitely not that kind of scary character. After all, he is an existence with a deep relationship with Ms. Wapujisi, so he must be kind!
She clenched her small fist, and her mind was very firm.
"You're welcome. Helping the world become more gentle and kind is also my little wish."
Lin Jie smiled.
Prima, this weak and timid girl, even had the urge to protect her at this moment.
She clearly knew the strength of the other party, but she really wanted, really suddenly wanted to protect this smile!
Such a kind boss Lin must have a sincere heart, but this world is always so cruel...
She wants to become stronger, and like Boss Lin, she wants to fulfill this little wish!
Prima made up her mind.
While she was immersed in her ideals, Boss Lin's communication device suddenly rang.
Lin Jie took it out and saw that it was Andrew's name displayed. He raised his eyebrows and said, "It really means that Cao Cao and Cao Cao are here, it seems that things have progressed."
Prima jumped to the counter, eager to know what happened to her sister.
Boss Lin asked Andrew to bring Jerome over. I don't know if everything goes well, will something happen, what is the situation with my sister now
Lin Jie looked at Prima's anxious look, shook his head dumbly, handed over the communication device in his hand, and said, "You can ask yourself."
Prima took it nervously, took a deep breath, pressed the answer button, and pressed it to her ear.
In the communication device, Andrew's voice was trembling: "Mr. Lin... Jerome is dead! He died in his office for no reason, his neck was twisted, his brain and whole body organs, bones, flesh and blood were hollowed out. . . . there was only one skin left, and he looked as if he had seen something terrifying, full of fear and hysteria."
"Only around, there is a sage's stone of near-perfect quality."
His voice trembled more and more, and he seemed to take a deep breath several times before asking, "I remember your instructions... I, I will bring 'him' to you."
Buzzing, Lin Jie's words echoed in Prima's ears:
"It's impossible to get Jerome to plead guilty right away—"
The girl's eyes were dull.
It is impossible to plead guilty.
But can die immediately.
