World Seven (42) Bait

World Seven (42) Bait (1 / 2)

Lin Jiu hadn't had a good night's sleep for many days. Even if he managed to fall asleep, he would be woken up by being surrounded by green numbers.

She couldn't do anything. This was the first time she realized this truth so deeply. Although she tried very hard to find the man behind the scenes and find a way out of the predicament, it was useless. Nothing worked.

She was like a butterfly trapped in a spider web. The more she struggled, the more out of breath she became.

Lin Jiu blinked, and something seemed to flow out of his dry eyes, slowly sliding down the corners of his eyes, leaving a wet and cold feeling along the way.

"Knock, knock." There was a knock on the office door. At this time when the war in Lihua was chaotic and everyone was in danger, few people except Jiang Xian came to knock on her door.

"Come in." Lin Jiu's voice was a little hoarse. She quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and sat upright.

Jiang Xian, who came in through the door, was obviously not in good spirits. As the tacitly popular person of the Lin family, as many people in the company were secretly jealous in the past, now there are so many people waiting to see his good show.

"Mr. Lin, lunch is here." Jiang Xian placed the lunch box on the coffee table next to him as usual.

Lin Jiu didn't make the slightest move, but looked at the computer screen blankly, "Okay, thank you."

Jiang Xian straightened up, knowing that Lin Jiu was not in the mood to eat, but not eating would only make her body lose weight faster, "Mr. Lin, can I eat with you?"

"I'm not hungry, you can eat first." Lin Jiu shook his head without looking away from the data on the screen, "You put it there, I'll eat it when I'm hungry."

Jiang Xian thought of the lunch box that was left here yesterday and remained untouched until nine o'clock in the evening. He was silent and said, "Mr. Lin, if you don't eat, you won't solve any problems."

Lin Jiu finally turned her attention to Jiang Xian this time. Her tone was very soft, "Then what do you want me to do?"

Jiang Xian didn't have an answer to this question, and Lin Jiu didn't need Jiang Xian's answer. She stood up suddenly and shouted almost hysterically: "Then what do you want me to do! I can't do anything! Can you Do you think I’m useless too?”

Tears poured out of Lin Jiu's eyes like a flood that broke a dam. She wiped her tears randomly while venting her inner pain hoarsely, "I'm so sad, I'm really sad. Why is this happening? Why? Why?" !”

"It's not your fault." Jiang Xian walked around the desk and reached out to pull Lin Jiu into his arms. He patted her back gently and let her wipe her tears on his suit. "It's not your fault.", he repeated.

The only silence in the office was Lin Jiu's suppressed crying. At this time, the WeChat message notification sound was particularly eye-catching.

Lin Jiu took a deep breath as the clothes in his hands were balled up. His eyes stayed on the messed up suit for a second before turning his head and gently pushing Jiang Xian away.

"Sorry, and thank you." Lin Jiu lowered her head, as if she didn't want Jiang Xian to see her eyes that were red from crying.

"It doesn't matter." Jiang Xian clenched and unclenched his hands hanging by his side. This feeling of powerlessness that engulfed Lin Jiu also made him almost breathless. But Lin Jiu was crying, so he could only Pain masked.

If it were Liang Yu or Tang Song, he must be able to do more than just a few words of comfort at this time, right? Jiang Xian thought masochistically, opened his mouth, and finally said "Remember to eat." and left the office.

World Seven (42) Bait (2 / 2)

Lin Jiu sat in her seat for a while before she was freed from the hysterical mood. She turned on her phone and unexpectedly found that the message was from Liang Yu.

His eyes were still a little dry and sore, but the message came into Lin Jiu's field of vision clearly and straightforwardly, "I know who the person you are looking for is. At six o'clock tonight, I will ask Pan Yuanqi to pick you up in Lihua."

Lin Jiu was stunned. The anxiety that she had deliberately ignored for the past month was finally revealed at this moment. The first thought that broke into her mind at this moment turned out to be Liang Jue's tragic end.

Liang Yu could even be cruel to his brother who was related by blood, but why did she think that after she played a trick on Liang Yu, she could pretend that nothing had happened and could just expose it lightly?

Lin Jiu suddenly wanted to sigh. There was a strange sense of violation in this message from beginning to end. Lin Jianhua had used most of the resources and contacts of the China Securities Regulatory Commission and had no clue, so he was easily taken out as a person. bait.

So, was it really Liang Yu who did it? Lin Jiu wanted to convince herself that it was not the case, but just like Liang Yu dared to use such a determined tone, even if she knew it was a trap, she still had no choice but to go to the appointment because she was already desperate.

At 5:50 in the afternoon, 20 minutes have passed since Li Hua got off work. Apart from Lin Jiu, only Jiang Xian is still working overtime on this floor as in the past few days.

Lin Jiu has been sitting on the seat for nearly half an hour. At first, her phone was awakened every five minutes, and then Lin Jiu would check the time in less than half a minute.

The makeup mirror placed in the drawer had not been touched for several days. Lin Jiu hesitated for a moment, then picked up the mirror and put on red lipstick on her bare face.

Lips that lack maintenance in autumn and winter will naturally become cracked and peeling, but Lin Jiu didn't care and applied lipstick over and over again until her lips were completely dyed red.

With her pale face, swollen eyes and dark circles, coupled with her unevenly colored bright red lips, she looked like a female ghost who died unjustly in a low-budget ghost movie.

But Lin Jiu was very satisfied. She tried to grin, showing an ugly smile that could scare a child to tears.

Even Lin Jiu herself didn't want to take another look at the person in the mirror. She put away the mirror, took out her phone and looked at the time, five fifty-three.

When walking out of the office, Lin Jiu looked in through the open door of the secretary's office and happened to look into the eyes of Jiang Xian who raised his head.

"Mr. Lin, you..." Jiang Xian was obviously startled by Lin Jiu's makeup and expressionless expression. He stood up and walked to Lin Jiu with worried eyes, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Lin Jiu reluctantly curled her lips. She had obviously forgotten what she saw in the mirror not long ago. "Don't worry, Jiang Xian, things will pass soon."

As she spoke, she suddenly remembered what Lin Jianhua said to her a few days ago, so she said softly: "You have to believe in Lihua, and you also have to believe in me." She said the last half of the sentence very slowly, as if to say Before speaking out, she didn't even believe in herself.

Lin Jiu paused and repeated, "Please believe me, Jiang Xian."

Jiang Xian's mouth was bitter, the tip of his nose was sore, and his eyes were so hot that he seemed ready to shed tears at any time. Before the tears fell, he slowly said, "I believe you, Xiaojiu."
