"Promise me that you won't do such stupid things again, okay? As you said, Lu Yuanfeng is just a stray dog, and your life is a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times more valuable than his! Li Lin, promise me, okay? Don't do such risky things again..."

Li Lin was stunned. Looking at Li Lan who was crying, he felt inexplicably moved.

He walked forward, took Li Lan into his arms again, caressing her and comforting her... He didn't know why Li Lan cared about him so much. This kind of care seemed to carry a complex emotion that was touching, but could not be expressed clearly.

Slowly, Li Lan calmed down.

She got out of Li Lin's arms embarrassedly, went to the bathroom to wash her face, and repeatedly confirmed in front of the mirror that she was no longer so sad. Then she came out and smiled at Li Lin, "Xiao Lin, I was too excited just now... Don't be offended."

"No, I know you are worried about me." Li Lin said with a smile.

The conversation between the two was dull. In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, Li Lin stood up and made a cup of tea for Li Lan and also made a cup for himself.

Two cups of tea stand opposite each other, white steam rises...

Li Lan sighed and said in a cold tone, "Xiao Lin, I'm not a competent sister, am I? I still can't protect you with my ability. First it was the Shannan Lu family, and now it's Lu Yuanfeng. They treated you so badly, and there's so little I can do... If you make any mistakes today, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life!"

Li Lin thought, she has done a lot for him and introduced him to many powerful relationships. He can get to where he is now only because of her power in the provincial party committee...Why is she now belittling herself and saying that she hasn't done well enough?

Why is she so hard on herself?

"Sister Lan, you don't have to say anything. I am very grateful to you, really." Li Lin said solemnly.

gratitude?

I should be grateful to you...

Li Lan looked at Li Lin with complicated eyes, his heart filled with unspeakable guilt!

What she did for Li Lin was nothing compared to what the leader gave her...

In a sense, she failed the leader's trust.

Li Lan was silent.

The atmosphere gradually became solemn.

Li Lin blew the tea leaves floating in the teacup and said calmly, "Sister, I have never understood why you have such sincere feelings for me even though we are siblings."

Li Lan was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Li Lin to ask such a question. After a moment of silence, she said, "Sometimes feelings are very strange, just like love at first sight. Who can explain it clearly? Maybe this is what I have always called fate."

fate?

Many inexplicable relationships can be attributed to fate.

But to Li Lin, this far-fetched reason sounded more like a deception.

He took a sip of tea, smiled, and said nothing more.

Li Lan changed the subject and said, "The reason why I'm so worried about you is because I know that even if Lu Yuanfeng is in jail now, there is still a long way to go before he can be brought to justice. Think about it, will his father, the former governor, sit back and do nothing? If he does those crazy things for his son... you know, when people go crazy, they do things that are unpredictable..."

This is true. Lu Yuanfeng's father has been the governor for so long, and the connections he controls are definitely not just as simple as Fang Wenbo's... It is precisely those opponents hiding in the dark who are the most terrifying.

"No one knows what will happen in the future, and I don't like to speculate about unknown things. At present, Secretary Wang Jin's attitude towards this matter is very firm, and I believe he will deal with those involved in the case of Yuanfeng Group impartially." Li Lin smiled faintly.

People are afraid of the unknown, but is fear useful? What is bound to come will eventually come, and what cannot be stopped cannot be stopped.

Since this is the case, why not face everything calmly.

At this moment, Li Lin's cell phone vibrated. He took it out and saw that it was Xu Wen.

Looking at Xu Wen's name, Li Lin showed a gentle smile on his face.

"Sister, I'm going out to answer a phone call." Li Lin pushed the door and walked out.

Li Lan stared blankly at Li Lin as he walked out the door, wondering who was calling and who had to answer the phone without her knowledge?

Is it a woman?

Li Lan suddenly felt sour in his heart.
