Han Li threw the phone in his hand on the table, then closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair.
His brows were frowning irritably, his lips were stretched into an indifferent straight line, and there was a sickly flush on his cheekbones. His whole person seemed to be on the verge of breaking out.
窗帘紧紧地拉着，将绝大多数的光线都隔绝在外，房间内弥漫中一片近乎迷蒙的黯淡，只有桌上的手机屏幕还亮着微弱的光，照亮了散乱在桌面上未处理的document.
Han Li straightened up, took out two aspirin pills and swallowed them in his mouth.
Ever since he left Cheng Chen's downstairs that day, he started to have a fever.
The family doctor could not find out the specific cause, so he had to guess that it might be caused by catching a cold in the rain that day. No matter what medicine he prescribed, it was not effective. Only aspirin could barely suppress the severe pain that was roaring in his head.
But for some reason, Han Li vaguely understood...
The low-grade fever and headache this time did not seem to be related to physical causes such as being exposed to the rain.
He frowned, leaned his head back on the soft leather chair, and raised his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose.
Under the tightly closed eyelids, the eyeballs showed an extremely weird halo change due to the pressure - a clear picture suddenly appeared in front of the eyes without warning, a moonless night, a dark and shining muzzle, and... endless falling.
Han Li opened his eyes suddenly. Beads of sweat had formed on his forehead before he knew it. He was panting heavily, and a look of shock flashed in his dark eyes.
―Yes, these days, whenever he closes his eyes, that weird dream scene will appear in front of him.
Moreover, every time it seems that new details are added to the blurred and broken fragments, as if a skilled painter is adding outlines and colors to his paintings little by little, making those unclear pictures gradually become coherent. And vivid, those dark and gloomy images rolled out of the dream, instantly swallowing up and occupying his mind like a tide, as if he had experienced it personally, every minute and every second was lifelike.
He could even smell the kidnapper's warm, foul-smelling breath in the cold night, feel the rough friction of the rope on his wrist, and taste the smell of blood spreading in his mouth -
And, the leg bones and knees were suddenly punctured and broken.
Han Li often had to reach out and touch his limbs below the knees, just to make sure there were not empty trouser legs.
Just then, his cell phone rang again.
Han Li reached for the phone and answered it, his voice hoarse and low, with a hint of impatience:
"… explain."
The voice over there sounded a little distorted through the microphone, but it seemed exceptionally clear in the quiet room:
"Brother Han, we have found the gangsters who blocked you before. It is said that new forces have come to the east city recently. We checked and it seems that there are rumors that you are related to us. I believe it. There are not many people. They only instigated a few idiots who have no brains and want to do big things to come to trouble you. This matter should not have much to do with the Han family - if I am not wrong, come from the city. new players.”
The wrinkles between Han Li's brows deepened. He stared thoughtfully at the half-folded city map not far away on the table, with a stern look in his eyes.
He said slowly:
"Keep checking. This is a critical period for Puzzel's expansion. No surprises are allowed."
The difference from that weird dream was that during the kidnapping, his legs were saved in time. Although he suffered serious sequelae, he could at least still walk.
The man's careless words forced Han Li to look directly at all the clues that he was unwilling and did not dare to look into.
It is suspected that it is a seed. Once planted, the branches and leaves will flourish.
The cause of his mother's death, his kidnapping, the decline of his grandfather's family, and the smelly water stains oozing from the dark mud hidden under the grand and wealthy appearance of the Han family made people feel cold all over.
His last bit of attachment and hope for this family was extinguished, and being associated with the Han family made him sick.
In order not to invite death, and for the sake of long-term layout, Han Li voluntarily left the provinces in a low-key manner for the reason of putting his family first, and then secretly developed his own power in areas beyond the reach of the Han family, and created his own The prototype of the empire, and puzzle was the starting point of his journey. With it as the core, Han Li secretly developed a series of industries. The scale was not large, and it was not enough to attract the attention and vigilance of the Han family, but it covered all the key points. key industries.
Now is the key point for the development of puzzle to reach a higher level, and even Han Li does not dare to take it lightly.
So even though he had a headache, he still stayed on the top floor of Puzzel to handle and work.
Without warning, the sharp brows and eyes of a boy in the rain suddenly flashed through his mind. Han Li made a move and opened the dialogue interface with Lin Ziyu. He stared calmly for a while, and then slowly opened the screen. Press off——
He sincerely hoped that Cheng Chen had nothing to do with this matter.
Lin Ziyu did not go directly to class. Instead, he turned around and walked to the dessert shop next to the school. He bought a portion of all the desserts and breads displayed on the counter, filled a big bag, and then whistled towards Cheng Chen. The class walked away.
His mood was as bright and cheerful as the weather.
You know, this is the first time that he has shown clear interest in someone in all the years he and Han Li have known each other.
And he actually asked himself to help deal with the gangsters who harassed him! He also specifically told himself to pay close attention to him in school!
--Wow!
According to Lin Ziyu's understanding of Han Li over the years, this level of attention is definitely unusual!
Lin Ziyu's heart of gossip, which had been dormant for several years, finally burst into flames, and eight hundred versions of love and hatred were outlined in his mind along the way.
As he walked, he thought wildly:
After all, even he, who claims to be devoted to love, has had several girlfriends over the years, but Han Li's love history has always been blank. Has Han Li finally found out the reason why he turned a blind eye to the girls who showed favor to him for so many years? The reason for staying clean for so many years is actually due to gender incompatibility!
Lin Ziyue turned his head and looked behind him with a guilty conscience.
He was a little afraid that Han Li would suddenly come out from a corner, stare at him with those scary black eyes, and then ask slowly: What were you thinking about just now
But... no matter what, you can never go wrong by building a good relationship! After all, Han Li also told him to take good care of others, right
Lin Ziyu casually stretched out his hand to pull a student who came out of the class, stuffed a large bag of bread and cake sandwiches into his arms, and naturally ordered: "Give it to Cheng Chen, just say Han "Given by Li."
——Enhance feelings, perfect.
The student was stunned and asked stammering:
"Wha, what?"
Lin Ziyu raised his eyebrows: "Don't you understand?"
The student was so frightened that he quickly shook his head, then quickly walked into the classroom as if running away, put the things on the empty table, and whispered: "That, that, Han Li gave it to you."
Shen Kong was sleeping on the table and was unconscious. He was woken up by the bag of things that suddenly hit him. Then he subconsciously raised his eyes and looked outside the classroom.
There was no one outside the classroom.
Lin Zi became more aware that he had done a great thing, so he followed Lei Feng's example and turned around and left without leaving his name, whistling happily and walking towards his class.
Seeing that there was no one at the door, any hope of going back was dashed.
Shen Kong slowly got up, took out a sandwich from it and took a bite, and said to the system sincerely:
"If I had known that being a good person would mean free breakfast, I might have started a long time ago."
system:"… "
The other students in the classroom who saw this scene were dumbfounded and couldn't believe their eyes for a moment:
Does Cheng Chen know Lin Ziyu? And Lin Ziyu actually gave Cheng Chen breakfast? ? What happened to the world? ?
Xu Linsheng, who was sitting in the corner of the classroom, was equally shocked. His handsome face was mostly destroyed by the arrogance that never left him. He reached out and grabbed the classmate who had just helped bring in the things, and asked in disbelief: "Just now Is that Lin Ziyu?”
The classmate nodded with a grimace and stuttered: "Yes... He said it was given by Han Li."
Cheng Chen not only knew Lin Ziyu, but also knew Han Li? ?
The look of surprise on Xu Linsheng's face deepened. He let go of the classmate and said to the follower beside him: "Have you invited Cheng Chen to come to my birthday party tonight?"
The attendant was stunned: "Master Xu, didn't you say you don't want that nerdy poor guy to be an eyesore in front of you?"
Xu Linsheng reached out and slapped him on the back of the head, and said angrily: "Fart, I never said that, please hurry up and invite him."
The follower nodded hurriedly, ran a few steps away, turned back, and said hesitantly:
"Um... Mr. Xu, what if he refuses?"
Xu Linsheng sneered: "How is it possible? My party is held at Puzzel. There are so many people queuing for months and they can't get a seat. This may be the only opportunity for this poor guy to go to such a high-end occasion in his life."
