Chapter 546 Is it time to prepare for the funeral?

After meeting Bai's mother, Li Jingshen went back. It took him less than half an hour. He stood at the door of the teahouse. The weather in December was too cold. He was so cold that he couldn't even move his legs. A gust of cold wind blew towards him, bringing a damp chill. He reached out and touched it, then stared at his fingertips in a daze.

All the tears he shed in his life, apart from those for his parents, were all because of Shen Zhichu. He didn't want to cry. It was too degrading for a grown man to shed tears standing on the busy street, but he really couldn't control it. The wind was so strong that when it blew into his eyes, the tears could not stop falling.

Li Jingshen suddenly didn't know where to go, he lowered his head, crossed the sidewalk, walked into a supermarket, and bought the fruit that Shen Zhichu liked to eat.

There were quite a few people in the supermarket. It was Li Jingshen's first time shopping in a supermarket. In the past, the servants at home prepared everything he wanted to buy, and he didn't have to think about it.

Now, looking at so many people, and being alone for the first time, feeling out of tune with the world, perhaps he really should prepare for his death.

There are still twenty days until Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Li Jingshen ordered a lot of things online and had them delivered to Bancheng.

…

As for the Bai family, Shen Zhichu could not stand idly by and watch the Bai family suffer losses, nor could he see Bai Qiujing get hurt.

One accident like the bungee jumping accident is enough.

After going through so many things, she and Bai Qiujing are already married, and the Bai family is naturally her family. Both Bai's father and mother are so good to her, treating her as their own daughter. It can be said that they treat her no less well than Bai Qiujing and Bai Wanwan. They all treat her sincerely, so how could she be indifferent and stand by?

If it was simply about money, Shen Zhichu might not care so much. The key point is that Li Jingshen's hand is too deep. He wants to kill Bai Qiujing. Li Jingshen has completely grasped his lifeline.

People like Li Jingshen might have restrained themselves in the past, not doing anything they were not sure of, and calculating everything carefully, but now that he is sick, it is only to be expected that he would do something that would result in his own death.

At eleven o'clock in the morning, Li Jingshen came back and saw Shen Zhichu sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV. He walked over and asked, "Have you eaten?"

“No.”

"I'll do it."

Shen Zhichu kept staring at the TV, replying to Li Jingshen's words without even turning his head, let alone his eyes.

She kept staring at the TV, seemingly very serious, but in fact her mind was not on the TV at all.

The movie playing on TV was still the horror movie that Shen Zhichu hated the most.

Today, Shen Zhichu was obedient, ate well, and did not quarrel with Li Jingshen.

Li Jingshen prepared the meal and asked Shen Zhichu to come over for dinner, including two meat dishes, one vegetable dish, a soup, and Shen Zhichu's favorite dessert.

Shen Zhichu looked at the cake on the plate in a daze.

"When I went to the supermarket, I saw people lining up to buy this, and I remembered you liked it."

Shen Zhichu likes sweet food, and this internet-famous cake is also within her preferences. Shen Zhichu sat down, took a piece of cake and ate it slowly.

This kind of cake is only available in Chengdu, and there are only a few available every day. You have to queue for a long time, and sometimes the cakes are sold out by the time you get there.

Li Jingshen would go to the supermarket and buy such small cakes in a place with so many people. This was something Shen Zhichu had never dared to imagine.

The cake still tastes the same as I remember. It’s not something worth giving out money, but it does have the original sweetness.

"Thanks."

This time it was Li Jingshen's turn to be stunned. This was the first time Shen Zhichu had said "thank you" to him in such a soft voice since he came here.

Li Jingshen didn't dare to reply, fearing that he was just dreaming and the dream would be shattered if he was startled.

Until the end of the meal, the two of them got along quite peacefully.

But is this okay?

Not good... The air was dead silent, and Chen Zhichu's "thank you" was just to a stranger he was most familiar with.

Chen Zhichu walked slowly in the living room without saying a word. The slow footsteps gradually became softer and softer, and from far to near. An empty atmosphere filled every corner.

"Let's go for a walk."

Shen Zhichu paused for a moment, then continued walking, saying as he walked, "I'm not going out."

Li Jingshen said: "You must really want to go out."

Shen Zhichu replied: "I really want to go out, but I won't. You know a bird that has been raised in a cage since it was young? Once it sees the outside world, it can't go back to the cage. If you continue to keep it, it will die of depression."

Li Jingshen choked and his throat felt bitter.

What a bird always trusts are its own wings. A bird without wings will die.

And Shen Zhichu also knew very well that she was now like a bird with its wings tied by a chain by Li Jingshen. Even if she flew away, she was still imprisoned wherever she went because of the chain on her body.

"I've booked a plane ticket. Accompany me to J City tomorrow."

Shen Zhichu refused: "I don't want to go."

Li Jingshen's attitude was quite firm: "You have to go even if you don't want to. Even if I have to tie you up, I will tie you up and take you away."

Shen Zhichu didn't say anything, so Li Jingshen took it as her tacit agreement.

The problem with the Li family has been solved, and Li Jingshen can go out at will. He has an island in J City, and Shen Zhichu's ashes in his previous life were scattered there.

In fact, according to his methods, he could have directly kidnapped Shen Zhichu, or he could have forced Shen Zhichu to have his child as he had done in the past and forced her to stay with him.

He could plan and do what he was best at, making the Bai family the second Lu Tingchuan. There was no need for them to perish together, as he had plenty of ways to escape.

But these are based on the premise that he has enough time.

God had already planned the solution. I don’t know where I took the wrong turn, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t go back.

The next morning, Li Jingshen took Shen Zhichu to the airport. Neither of them brought any luggage, only their ID cards and cell phones.

After getting off the plane, the weather in J City was even colder than in Chengdu. Even with her thick down jacket, it couldn't keep her warm.

Li Jingshen was wearing a camel-colored coat with a gray wool sweater underneath. It was a very ordinary outfit, but he was too tall, and he had a noble feeling standing out from the crowd. The corners of his coat moved slightly in the wind.

He stared straight ahead, his dark eyes deep and cold, and only when facing Shen Zhichu beside him did he soften for a brief moment.

Many people around were staring at Li Jingshen. One reason was that he had an outstanding appearance and temperament, and the other was that his face was too pale.

Shen Zhichu wore a mask, a thick down jacket and a scarf. The scarf was wrapped up to cover half of his face, and he also had a hat on his head. If he was dressed like this, no one would recognize him if he were thrown into the fan group.

Li Jingshen looked at Shen Zhichu dressed like this and laughed, like a flower roll.

Shen Zhichu didn't know why Li Jingshen brought her to J City. She couldn't guess what he was thinking, and Shen Zhichu was too lazy to guess.

Arriving in J City, Shen Zhichu felt a little complicated. This meant that she was further away from Bai Qiujing. If Bai Qiujing was looking for her, he would be able to find out by checking the plane's identity login.

"Why did you bring me to J City?"

"Relax, don't worry I won't do anything to you."

Li Jingshen's words "don't worry" did not serve as a comfort at all, because Li Jingshen often did things that went back on his word, and Shen Zhichu had a really bad impression of him.

Even though she just sat on the plane and did nothing, Shen Zhichu felt tired. After following Li Jingshen to the island, she went into her room and went to sleep. She slept until dark before being woken up to eat.

After waking up, she looked carefully at the scenery outside. She couldn't see anything at night. Moreover, the sea breeze was particularly strong at night, and the landscape trees on the island were blown all over the place.

"Rest early, I'll take you out for a walk tomorrow."

Shen Zhichu didn't ask Li Jingshen where he was going to take her. Since she was already in J City, Li Jingshen was the one making the decision, and she couldn't do anything about it.

Fortunately, the sun came out in J City the next day and the temperature rose a lot. The sky was high and the sea was vast. The sunlight was layered, peeling off the clouds and scattering on the blue sea.

Ten days after arriving in J City, Li Jingshen took Shen Zhichu to see the sea, the two of them went to the amusement park, had a couple's meal, watched a movie, visited the famous tourist attractions in J City, and also took Shen Zhichu to his home, his real home, where he had lived since he was a child.

Old Master Li passed away, but the old housekeeper was still alive. He was old and had worked in the Li family for most of his life. He had no partner and didn't know where to go when he really retired, so he simply stayed in the Li family and continued to do his job, managing the entire Imperial Garden as before.

The old butler heard the sound of parking outside and initially thought that there was something wrong with his ears. Since the death of Mr. Li, almost no one came to visit here.

This is a private villa with strict security. He would be notified in advance before coming here, but he was not notified this time... That means he is someone the security department knows.
