Chapter 30: Getting Sick (Catching Bugs)



To be at ease, Shi Jin planned to observe secretly and judge whether Lian Jun was angry through various details. However, Lian Jun did not give him this opportunity. After finding that he did not rest after bandaging the wound, he grabbed a piece of his clothes, pulled him to the wheelchair, and personally drove him out of his room and closed the door.

"I won't disturb his rest, why did he chase me out?" Shi Jin felt unwilling and a little sour, "Guajiu could have just waited on the sofa outside his room when he was taking a nap."

Xiao Si reminded him cruelly, "I think it's because you are too dirty now..."

Shi Jin looked down at his clothes and retorted righteously, "How can they be dirty? I just put on clean clothes today!"

"But you haven't taken a shower for many days... and you haven't washed your hair either..." Xiao Si continued to remind him cruelly.

Shi Jin's face froze, and he thought about it carefully. He found that he had not showered for several days. During this period, he rolled on the ground for many times because of the mission. He immediately felt itchy and asked, "Didn't Xiang Aoting wipe me when he took me to the hotel that day?"

Xiao Si replied sympathetically, "Don't think about it. He can help you change into pajamas and let you sleep more comfortably. He is considerate of you."

Shi Jin: "..."

Shi Jin rushed back to the room, stripped himself and took a good shower. He rubbed his skin red and came out wearing only a thin pajamas. He looked at the time and found that it was almost dinner time. He changed his clothes and walked towards the restaurant.

When he got there, Lian Jun was already sitting in the restaurant. Seeing Shi Jin standing up, he said nothing as usual, just motioned Shi Jin to sit down and start eating.

Shi Jin still couldn't figure out whether he was angry or not. Seeing that most of the dishes on the table were his favorites, he was very moved and couldn't help but explain again: "Jun Shao, I really just care about you. If you don't like it, I can change it."

Lian Jun paused in holding the chopsticks, looked up at him, and asked: "How to change it?"

"...Change it to be more reserved?" Shi Jin answered tentatively.

Lian Jun put down his chopsticks and picked up the soup bowl, saying: "Eat, and come to the study with me after eating."

Shi Jin: "..." Why does it feel like the pressure is lower.

...

After dinner, Shi Jin followed Lian Jun to the study room. They sat across from each other across the tea table. Lian Jun took out the tea set and brewed tea carefully. He asked, "Have you treated the wound?"

Shi Jin's eyes unconsciously fell on Lian Jun's white fingers resting on the dark teapot. He nodded and replied, "It's treated. It's just a little red mark and bruise. It's nothing serious."

Lian Jun poured the first cup of tea and started to make the second cup. He started a new topic: "Tell me about this mission." Shi Jin

carefully observed his expression, but still couldn't see any clues, so he honestly answered along the topic and roughly described the process of this mission.

Lian Jun listened carefully, and his hands never stopped brewing tea. When Shi Jin finished speaking, the tea was already brewed.

He poured a cup and pushed it in front of Shi Jin, saying, "Try it."

Shi Jin took a sip and praised, "It tastes good!"

Lian Jun: "..." Shi Jin,

who had no idea how to taste tea, got a late reminder from Xiao Si: "Jin Jin, this is not the way to taste tea. You have to drink it a little bit at a time and savor the flavor." Shi Jin

: "..."

Lian Jun slowly sat up and looked at Shi Jin without saying a word. Shi Jin's

back was sweating, and he deeply felt what it felt like to flatter someone and hit the horse's leg. He looked away uncomfortably, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles under Lian Jun's death gaze.

"Why did you insist on coming over for dinner today?" Lian Jun suddenly asked.

Shi Jin opened his mouth and was ready to continue to flatter, but Lian Jun stopped him in advance, "I want to hear the truth." Shi

Jin heard that his tone was wrong, and quickly swallowed the flattery that was about to come to his mouth. After thinking for a while, he replied: "I'm afraid you are in danger... Not many people know that you are still staying in City B. Suddenly an old friend came to ask me out, and I always felt something was wrong."

"...You are quite sharp." Lian Jun tapped the armrest of the wheelchair, leaned over to remove the brewed tea, pressed the button to have someone replace it with a cup of hot milk tea for Shi Jin, and said in a slower tone: "Don't be so impulsive in the future. If you have any doubts or suspicions in your heart, you can directly ask me for confirmation. Don't work hard alone. Fighting alone is not a good habit."

Is this comforting? By the way, teach him how to handle a crisis correctly?

Shi Jin was stunned. Seeing Lian Jun's face always pale no matter how he was raised, he blurted out, "Lian Jun, you must live, live a long time."

Lian Jun paused and looked up at Shi Jin.

After Shi Jin finished speaking, he was also stunned for a moment, and then sighed resignedly.

In the past, he wanted to save Lian Jun, a large part of the reason was because of the progress bar and the small death, and a small part of the reason was out of a little kindness in human nature, but now that he has been with Lian Jun for so long, he has to admit that he wants to save Lian Jun now, just because he wants Lian Jun to live.

People are emotional animals, Lian Jun is so good, he doesn't want him to die, not at all.

"Only by living can you have a future, Lian Jun, can you work harder? There are so many people out there who want you dead. If you don't work harder and be more careful, I'm really afraid that you will suddenly die one day. Plans can never keep up with changes. Danger doesn't mean it won't come just because you are well prepared." Shi Jin said earnestly, and he couldn't help but move to Lian Jun's side, grabbing Lian Jun's hand on the armrest of the wheelchair, and leaning towards him, full of the worry of his mother.

He was really scared. Lian Jun's progress bar rose like a roller coaster every time. Reason told him not to be so anxious, because there was a slowdown before the progress bar was full, and everything had a chance. But as they got to know each other better, the influence of feelings on emotions gradually increased, and he really couldn't guarantee that he would always be calm.

Lian Jun lowered his eyes and looked at his grabbed hand. Shi Jin

was still mumbling: "For example, this time, what if there are people in the lobby? They are so far away. What if the people in the next box suddenly attack, or Chen Qing wants to burn himself to death, they will not have time to react at all."

Lian Jun did not respond, and tilted his head to scan the distance between the two people that was getting closer and closer.

"Also, you knew that the dinner party was not right, so why didn't you take a few more people with you when you went out? Not to mention taking all of Gua Yi, it would be fine to take Gua San and Gua Wu, but it would be too risky to take Gua Er alone." Shi Jin was unaware of it and continued to persuade him earnestly. Perhaps he felt that Lian Jun's hand was too cold, and he rubbed it unconsciously a few times.

Lian Jun's eyes deepened and he finally spoke: "Shi Jin."

"Huh?" Shi Jin turned his head to look at him. The two of them, one sitting upright while the other leaning forward, were so close that they could almost count each other's eyelashes.

Lian Jun looked at Shi Jin's eyes that were flashing with a sincere "stupid" light. His clear voice was somehow a little low and his speaking speed was a little slower than usual. He asked, "Is my hand nice to touch?" Shi

Jin was stunned. He paused in rubbing Lian Jun's hand and looked down at their clasped hands... After a few seconds, he let go of his hand and bounced to the other side of the sofa. His expression froze. While awkwardly explaining that he didn't mean it, he poked Xiao Si in his heart and asked in frustration, "Why was I holding Lian Jun's hand! When did I hold it!"

Xiao Si's tone was weird, with a hint of excitement: "Jin Jin, don't be afraid! I support you! It's okay to be disgusted!"

No, what are you supporting!

Shi Jin felt that his brain was broken, or that he had just been possessed by something strange. Seeing Lian Jun looking at him with an unpredictable expression, he swallowed hard and tried to save himself: "Mr. Jun, your hands are too cold. Although there is heating in the club, you should still wear more clothes." Lian Jun

ignored him, turned around and rolled his wheelchair to the desk, picked up a document and started reading it, his figure was very cold. Shi Jin

secretly observed him, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Ten minutes later, Lian Jun suddenly raised his head and gestured to Shi Jin at the study door: "Get out, you are too noisy." Shi Jin

felt very aggrieved: "I obviously didn't say anything."

"Your breathing disturbed me." Lian Jun was unmoved and very heartless.

Shi Jin held his breath reflexively, and held on for a while, but he couldn't bear Lian Jun's deathly gaze anymore. He lowered his head in despair, dragged his heavy steps, and left the study room, looking back every few steps.

Bang, the study room door closed.

"Xiao Si, I offended the boss, am I going to be in trouble?" Shi Jin asked faintly while standing in the corridor.

Xiao Si was very optimistic, and his tone was still strangely excited: "No, baby will love you very much." Shi Jin

was hurt internally, and felt that his golden finger was probably useless.

It was still early. Shi Jin went back to his room, washed up, and lay on the bed. He tossed and turned for a long time but couldn't fall asleep. He was tangled up in his mind for a while about whether Lian Jun was really angry. As his thoughts were wandering, he suddenly remembered the important spoils he had obtained on this mission. His thoughts were instantly pulled back to reality. He sat up and said, "Xiao Si, where are the data I asked you to copy? Show it to me!"

Xiao Si was also dragged out of some fantasy at once. He excitedly jammed the computer, and then stuffed a lot of data into Shi Jin's head. Shi

Jin's brain exploded and he fell back on the bed.

A lot of data flashed through his mind like a slide show. Shi Jin couldn't help but hold his forehead, feeling that his brain was about to be overwhelmed by too much information.

Seeing this, Xiao Si panicked and hurriedly adjusted his physical condition, adding a bunch of buffs to him, and apologized, "I'm sorry, I forgot that these data do not belong to the original body, and they are different from the original owner's memory. You will not be able to accept them."

"It's okay." With the buffs to comfort him, Shi Jin slowly slowed down, and didn't bother to talk to Xiao Si, and concentrated on looking for the data he wanted.

Xiao Si copied a total of four copies of the data, three from the werewolf boss Wolf Brother, and one from Yuan Mazi. Each copy has a lot of content. If you only rely on manual reading, it will definitely take three to five days to finish. Fortunately, Shi Jin had Xiao Si's help. After about an hour, he screened out something that looked most like a customer list.

It was a list made up entirely of letters and numbers, with letters in front and numbers in the back, so dense that it looked like a bunch of gibberish at first glance, and it was impossible to tell what it was.

Xiao Si said, "I just used big data to analyze it, and basically confirmed that this data is the werewolf's customer list. The letters in the front of the list represent the names, and the numbers in the back are the contact information scrambled in a specific way. The last few numbers should be the date of the transaction."

Shi Jin asked, "Can you analyze the pattern of the scrambled contact information and restore them?"

"Yes, but it will take some time." Xiao Si replied.

Shi Jin was relieved and said, "Don't worry, take your time." After that, he also pondered over the list, trying to find some useful clues through the date of the transaction.

But he was not very good at this after all. He was hypnotized by the dense numbers before he could analyze them for a while. He tilted his head and fell asleep.

... He slept

until dawn. When he woke up in the morning, he found that his head was a little heavy and a little painful. He raised his hand and touched it. He was speechless to find that he actually had a fever, and the temperature was not low.

Xiao Si felt very guilty: "It seems that you received too much information at one time, which affected your physical condition..." Shi Jin

struggled to get up, but the more he struggled, the more dizzy he became. He gave up helplessly, took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Lian Jun to ask for leave, and asked: "Did you get any results from yesterday's analysis?"

"Yes." Xiao Si replied with a serious tone, "I restored all the contact information on the list, but none of the contact numbers can match the contact information of the known characters in the plot, and because this transaction was finally invalidated, the subsequent money transaction records are also blank, lacking the most important information comparison condition."

Shi Jin felt his head hurt even more, and asked: "So the situation now is that we have analyzed it, but the clues are broken?"

"Not really... I checked the names of all the people related to the plot by eliminating the first letters of the clients' names on the list, and finally got the most likely name."

Shi Jin heard that its tone was wrong, and asked hurriedly: "Who is it?"

"Xu Chuan, Shi Xingrui's trusted lawyer, the one who came to announce the will to you." Xiao Si answered, and then added, "In the original plot, Xu Chuan was finally conquered by Shi Weichong and became Shi Weichong's exclusive lawyer. He provided Shi Weichong with a lot of important information and helped Shi Weichong consolidate his position in Ruixing."

Shi Jin was silent for a while before confirming and asking: "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure." Xiao Si answered very confidently. Seeing that he looked unhappy, he soothed him, "Of course, it is also possible that I analyzed it wrong. After all, there is no definite evidence to prove that the letter on the client list is Xu Chuan."

"No need to prove it." Shi Jin fell back on the bed and sighed, "The person who traded with the werewolf is most likely him. Remember the abnormal increase in the progress bar after I refused to sign the will? At that time, I couldn't figure out why the progress bar would increase instead of decrease after refusing the inheritance. Now I figured it out. The problem is not that I refused the inheritance, but that I refused to sign 'that' will document."

Xiao Si immediately reacted to his meaning and asked, "Jin Jin, are you saying that there is a problem with the will document that Xu Chuan brought?"

"Most likely, but this is just my guess." Shi Jin answered, with all kinds of thoughts rushing through his mind, messy and unclear. "In the original plot, the original owner was kidnapped not long after signing the will, and was locked up and tortured for a long time. When the original owner was rescued, Ruixing had already been taken over by Shi Weichong. From the time the original owner was kidnapped to the time the original owner was rescued, what exactly happened to Ruixing, and what roles did Shi Weichong and Xu Chuan play in it? These are no longer traceable, and we can only make conservative guesses now. "

Xiao Si asked cautiously: "Then Jin Jin, do you think that Xu Chuan is possibly in collusion with Shi Weichong?"

Shi Jin thought about it and shook his head: "I don't think so. Shi Weichong really has no intention of killing me. Moreover, after Shi Weichong and I met in the hospital, the progress bar immediately dropped a few points. I now tend to believe that it was Shi Weichong's timely appearance that made Xu Chuan and the mastermind behind the scenes wary and they no longer tried to get me to sign documents or attack me directly."

Xiao Si was a little worried: "What if it was him..."

"If so, then I am blind and have mistaken him. But I still think it is not the case. Shi Weichong should not have colluded with Xu Chuan. At least he certainly did not know the contents of the will in advance. This is written in the original plot. The five brothers of the Shi family only found out that Shi Xingrui had given all his property to the original owner after the will was announced. Although the original plot has many loopholes, the facts clearly pointed out can't be wrong." Shi

Jin pulled up the quilt to cover his face and continued to analyze, "Also, think carefully about the ups and downs of my progress bar after I entered the hospital. When I first met Shi Weichong, the progress bar dropped to 997, but after I used After I tested him with words, the progress bar went up again. The logic behind it was clear now - Shi Weichong was angry at my probing. If I had continued talking at that time, Shi Weichong would have been pissed off and Xu Chuan could have taken advantage of the situation and tricked me into signing the documents... Fortunately, I shut up in time and dragged Shi Weichong to stay in the hospital. I also forced Xu Chuan to divide the estate into five parts through him, otherwise I would have died long ago. If they were in collusion, the progress bar would not have fluctuated so much, and Shi Weichong would not have had to accompany me in the hospital. He could have just asked me to sign the documents directly."

Xiao Si thought thoughtfully.

After Shi Jin finished speaking, his thoughts became a little more organized. Thinking about the time he spent with Shi Weichong, he lost himself in thought and suddenly lifted the quilt covering his face and said, "It's useless to think too much now. There is a simple way to determine whether Shi Weichong and Xu Chuan are colluding."

Xiao Si came back to his senses and asked expectantly, "What is the method?"

"Ask him directly."

Xiao Si was shocked: "Ask directly?!"

"Yes, just ask directly. Shi Weichong is now a real good brother. It shouldn't be a big deal to ask him in person. And even if he is pretending to be a good brother, he still has a strong supporter. There is nothing to be afraid of. No one will die anyway." Shi Jin became optimistic. He gathered his energy and sat up from the bed. Then, his eyes blurred and he fell back with a bang. He said weakly, "I can't take it anymore. Xiaosi, I feel dizzy. Please send a text message to Gua Er and ask him to bring a doctor over."

Xiaosi: "..."

A few minutes later, Gua Er and Lian Jun came over with a doctor.

Gua Er saw Shi Jin, who was feverish, and he began to gloat over his misfortune in a very inhumane way, joking that he was too naughty and got his retribution. Shi

Jin rolled his eyes at him without much strength and moved his gaze to look at Lian Jun.

Lian Jun looked at him and motioned for the doctor to come forward.

The doctor took Shi Jin's temperature, raised his eyebrows, reached out and patted Shi Jin's forehead, and said: "Your brain is almost cooked, you are indeed a young man, you still have the energy to send a text message for help even though your fever is so severe, and you didn't make a single mistake in typing. You are in good physical condition."

Shi Jin was patted so hard that he felt like dying, and said uncomfortably: "Uncle Long, stop patting me, my brain is spinning, give me two injections, I feel uncomfortable."

Uncle Long mercifully let go, skillfully mixed the medicine and took the needle, and said: "I like obedient patients like you, two injections, right? Don't worry, uncle will give you the injections now." As he said that, he glanced at Lian Jun beside him meaningfully.

Lian Jun ignored him, rolled his wheelchair to the other side of Shi Jin's bed, and reached out to touch Shi Jin's red head. Shi

Jin shivered at the cold temperature of his hand, and after the shiver, he felt comfortable, tilted his head and moved his head, and put his overheated forehead against his palm.

Lian Jun stopped moving his hand, hesitated for a moment, put his hand back, gently pressed his forehead, and asked: "Do you feel uncomfortable?"

"It's okay, just dizzy." Shi Jin replied, and put his forehead against his palm again.

Gua Er was standing beside him with an unbelievable look on his face, as if he had seen a miracle.

Lian Jun moved his fingertips slightly, touched the hair on his temples, and suddenly said, "Your hair has grown longer."

"Really? I didn't notice..." Shi Jin closed his eyes, and his consciousness gradually became dizzy. He knew that he could not hold on any longer and was about to pass out, so he forced himself to open his eyes, looked at Lian Jun and said, "Young Master Jun, don't stay here all the time. Be careful that I might pass on my illness to you."

Lian Jun listened to his vague and spiritless voice, touched his hair again, and replied, "Go to sleep." Shi Jin

could not hold on any longer and fell asleep.

Uncle Long's gaze paused on Lian Jun's hand that was still on Shi Jin's forehead, he unwrapped a fever-reducing patch, squeezed Lian Jun's hand, and stuck the fever-reducing patch on Shi Jin's forehead, saying, "Shi Jin is right, Jun Shao, you should get out quickly. Although fever is not contagious, it would be bad if you get infected with some other disease. You are weak and can't bear it."

Lian Jun frowned and looked at him, then looked at Shi Jin, whose expression was relieved a little after putting on the fever-reducing patch. In the end, he said nothing, withdrew his hand, and slid the wheel. The old man came to Gua Er and said, "Stay here and call me if you need anything."

Gua Er nodded, sent him away and walked to the bed. Seeing Shi Jin looking even more silly after falling asleep, he couldn't help but flicked his forehead with his hand and whispered, "You... I won't let your wish come true." Uncle Long,

who was putting a cuff on Shi Jin, looked at him and hummed. He wiped some medicine on Shi Jin and inserted the needle into Shi Jin's blood vessel steadily and accurately.
