Illness comes like a mountain falling, and goes like a thread being pulled out. Shi Jin
's high fever this time was fierce and could not be cured for a long time. Every time Uncle Long used medicine to reduce his high fever, the fever would rise again after a few hours. It kept happening over and over again, and it never got better.
Lian Jun was worried, so he asked Uncle Long to give Shi Jin a detailed full-body examination. The result was naturally that nothing was found. Shi Jin was in good health and had no major problems. It was really just a high fever.
In the end, Uncle Long had no choice but to give Shi Jin conservative treatment, fearing that another injection would make him stupid.
After being on IV drip for several days and taking medicine for several days, Shi Jin looked much more haggard, had no appetite for anything, felt dizzy after walking a few steps, and spoke weakly, looking more like a seriously ill patient than Lian Jun.
Xiao Si felt so guilty and distressed, and blamed himself for not thinking carefully. He regretted that he should have screened the list first, and then passed the list to Shi Jin separately, instead of stuffing all the information into him. Shi Jin
thought it through and comforted him, saying that it was a blessing in disguise and he earned a vacation for free.
He had been lying in bed for several days. This morning, he finally felt that his headache was not that bad after waking up. He was no longer dizzy when looking at things. He thought that the sequelae of receiving data should be gone soon. He immediately jumped out of bed, washed up, wrapped himself in several layers of thick clothes, and went to Lian Jun's study.
During the days when he was sick, Lian Jun came to see him every day, but because he was always sleeping and waking, he had few opportunities to see Lian Jun. He always woke up in a daze. Xiao Si told him that Lian Jun had come to see him, and then he knew that Lian Jun had come.
Now that his illness was about to be cured, he couldn't help but want to flatter Lian Jun to see if Lian Jun was still angry. He also wanted to ask Lian Jun for a leave to talk to Shi Weichong about Xu Chuan and test Shi Weichong's attitude in person.
When he arrived at the study, Lian Jun was talking to Gua Yi and others. The atmosphere in the room was a bit heavy, and it seemed that the topic they were talking about was not very pleasant. Shi Jin
knew what was going on and didn't go forward to disturb them. He greeted Gua Er who opened the door and prepared to return the same way and come back later.
Lian Jun had already noticed him, waved his hand to signal Gua Yi to stop talking, and called from the door: "Shi Jin?" Shi Jin
stopped, and when he saw that he had been discovered, he turned back, stood at the door and smiled at Lian Jun, saying: "I just came to take a look, you guys are busy, I will come back later."
"No, come in." Lian Jun asked Gua Er to let him in, and pointed to the sofa, "Sit down, listen to the side first."
Shi Jin sat down obediently and listened to the situation.
Lian Jun asked Gua Er to serve Shi Jin a drink, and gave his blanket to Shi Ji, and then continued to talk to Gua Yi.
The other people in the room saw everything, looked at each other tacitly, and pretended to be blind tacitly.
They were talking about Chen Qing. After a few days of investigation, Gua Yi had basically determined the whereabouts of Chen Qing's family and could rescue them at any time, but a new problem arose - it was easy to rescue the children, but it was a bit difficult to rescue Chen Qing who was under control.
The current situation was that Chen Qing's children were held alone outside, and there were not many people guarding them, so it was easier to rescue them, but Chen Qing was controlled in the enemy's lair. If they wanted to rescue him, they had to go deep into the enemy camp, which was more dangerous.
The mastermind behind the attempt to kill Ji Lianjun through Chen Qing had also been identified as the already declining legal violence organization Black Rose. This Black Rose used to be very powerful, belonging to a large organization that could stand on equal footing with Mie, and there were official personnel behind it as backers, but a few years ago, the backers of Black Rose fell, and because it continued to do some gray business after listing, it was cleaned up by the official several times, restricted its development, and gradually declined.
This Black Rose is also very strange. After the decline, it did not want to clean up the rotten stall and rest, but blamed the reason for the decline on Lian Jun. They thought that Lian Jun colluded with the official, brought down their backers, and destroyed their business, and always wanted to seek revenge on Lian Jun.
Lian Jun has been targeted by Black Rose many times in recent years, but every time Black Rose failed, Lian Jun always found an opportunity to target him back. This time, Chen Qing’s incident was the most successful time that Black Rose targeted Lian Jun in recent years.
"First arrange the staff and prepare to rescue the younger one, and then we can make a long-term plan for Chen Qing." Lian Jun quickly ended the conversation with one sentence, signaling Gua Yi and the others to disperse, then he rolled his wheelchair to
Shi Jin's side and reached out to touch Shi Jin's forehead. Shi Jin was thinking about how to save Chen Qing, and his body unconsciously leaned on the sofa, not noticing that everyone had dispersed. Only when his forehead was touched did he come back to his senses and look sideways at the sofa.
Lian Jun took his hand back, glanced at his pale face, and asked, "How are you today?"
"Not bad, no fever anymore, and not so dizzy anymore." Shi Jin answered, and after sitting up, he picked up the blanket and covered Lian Jun's legs again, then asked, "Have you eaten well these days?"
Lian Jun glanced at the blanket on his legs, his voice slowed down a bit, and asked instead of answering, "Did you come here to ask this?"
"Not entirely... Isn't it almost time for lunch? I came here to wait for you to eat together." Shi Jin answered. He always felt that Lian Jun's tone was particularly gentle today, but he didn't think too much about it. He just thought that Lian Jun was considerate of his patient, so he asked, "Is Chen Qing in trouble?"
"It's not a big problem." Lian Jun replied, and then reached out to touch his forehead. After making sure that he really didn't have a fever, he took his hand back, slid the wheelchair sideways, and said, "Let's go to the restaurant, it's time to eat."
Shi Jin was a little stunned by Lian Jun's "second touch". He stood up after a while and took the initiative to help Lian Jun get on the wheelchair. He asked Xiao Si happily in his heart: "Lian Jun cares about me so much, does it mean that he is no longer angry with me? Is the oolong that my eldest brother caused a mess over?"
Xiao Si didn't say anything, just made an ambiguous "hmm".
Shi Jin felt that it agreed with what he said, and he became even happier. He couldn't help but mutter to Lian Jun about the various evil deeds of Uncle Long during the days when he was sick. He seemed to be much more energetic.
...
The lunch dishes were rich and the taste was a little stronger than usual. Shi Jin ate very happily. These past few days, he had been forced by Uncle Long to eat those bland hospital meals, which was simply meaningless. Today, he finally ate something different, which finally washed away the bitter taste of the pills in his mouth.
After stuffing the last piece of cumin mutton into his mouth, Shi Jin touched his stomach contentedly and said with a sigh, "Meat is still delicious. Alas, I haven't eaten mutton for a long time. By the way, Jun Shao, before I went on the mission, didn't you promise me that you would treat me to a roasted whole lamb when I came back? Where is the lamb? You are not going to regret it, are you?"
Lian Jun paused in drinking water and looked up at him. Seeing his face full of self-righteousness and faint accusation, he slowly put the water cup back and replied, "I don't owe you mutton."
Shi Jin heard that his tone was wrong, and his courage, which was raised by meat, fell back to earth. He sat down properly, stiffly changed the subject, and asked, "Jun Shao, what are you going to do with Chen Qing? Are you really going to rescue him in the enemy's lair?"
"...No." Lian Jun lowered his eyes and stopped looking at him. He took a tissue and wiped his mouth, and replied, "The new leader of the Black Rose has a fierce temper and hates being suppressed the most. If we attack his base camp directly, he will probably be defeated. If we want to rescue Chen Qing safely, there are two ways now. One is to let the Black Rose release Chen Qing again, and the other is to negotiate directly. Which method do you think is more suitable?" Shi Jin
frowned when he heard it, and replied without hesitation: "It is better to lure the Black Rose to release Chen Qing again. With the current situation of the Black Rose, Under the current circumstances, if we go to negotiate with them, they will probably make unreasonable demands and put forward some impossible requirements. In the end, they will probably frame us and take the benefits but not let us go."
Lian Jun nodded in agreement and said in the wheelchair, "Go and have a rest. Guayi will take care of Chen Qing's matter. You should take good care of yourself."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Shi Jin hurriedly stepped forward to help him hold the wheelchair and said flatteringly, "Then, Mr. Jun, I'm almost well now. Can I go out for a while?"
Lian Jun frowned, "Where do you want to go?"
"To find my eldest brother." Shi Jin replied, and added, "I have something to tell him...family matters, the more important kind."
Lian Jun stopped the wheelchair and turned his head to look at Shi Jin.
Shi Jin hurriedly squatted down and pulled up Lian Jun's hand, touched his forehead and assured: "I really don't have a fever anymore, and I don't have a headache anymore. Just let me go. I'll try to go early and come back early, okay?"
Lian Jun's arm stiffened, but he didn't pull his hand back. Instead, he followed his movements and touched his forehead carefully. He wanted to refuse, but seeing him looking at him eagerly, he finally compromised and said, "Let Gua Er take you there. You must be back before dinner."
"Young Master Jun, you are so nice!" Shi Jin flattered him and leaned over to hug Lian Jun. After hugging him, he realized what he had done. He noticed that Lian Jun's body was stiff, and he swallowed his saliva. He laughed awkwardly and stepped back. He didn't dare to look at Lian Jun. He said to the ground, "I'm going to find Gua Er", turned around and ran away without looking back.
...
Gua Er was forced to put down his work and go out to be Shi Jin's driver.
"You are such a jerk..." Gua Er started the car, looked sideways at Shi Jin for several times, and whispered, "What kind of magic potion did you give to Jun Shao..."
Shi Jin was fastening his seat belt and didn't hear what he said clearly, so he asked sideways, "What did you say?"
"Nothing." Gua Er looked at his stupid face because of his illness, sighed, and shook his head, "Maybe this is the blessing of a fool."
Shi Jin glared at him, "You are the fool, why are you scolding me for no reason!"
Gua Er: "..." Suddenly I felt so tired.
...
On a weekday afternoon, Shi Weichong was definitely not at home. Shi Jin first called Shi Weichong and after confirming that he was in the office, he asked Gua Er to take him directly to the downstairs of Shi Weichong's company, and then called Shi Weichong again downstairs.
A few minutes later, Shi Weichong hurried out of the company and saw Shi Jin and Gua Er waiting outside the door. He walked over in two or three steps and pulled Shi Jin into the company lobby. He looked at his face and asked with a frown, "Why did you come here suddenly? What were you waiting for outside? You didn't know why you came in. And you look like that. Are you sick?"
"I had a fever the past two days, but I'm fine now." Shi Jin replied with a smile. He looked at Shi Weichong's expression carefully and saw that he was not angry because of his uninvited visit. Instead, his face was full of worry and concern. He felt a little more at ease - from Shi Weichong's current performance, he really cared about his younger brother and it didn't seem like he was pretending.
"Why are you grinning like an idiot? Your face is red." Shi Weichong was so annoyed by his laughter that he nodded to Gua Er as a greeting, and took the two of them to the elevator and asked, "Have you had lunch? How long have you been sick?"
"Not long ago, I ate and came here. How about you? Have you had lunch?" Shi Jin asked as they walked.
Shi Weichong didn't say anything. After taking him into the elevator, he suddenly raised his hand and touched his forehead.
Shi Jin was already used to being touched by Lian Jun. He was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses. Seeing that Shi Weichong's brows were almost twisted into knots, he felt a little warm in his heart and couldn't help wanting to laugh, so he asked, "Is my forehead nice to touch?"
"No, you're sick and still running around. You don't know how to take care of yourself at all." Shi Weichong retracted his hand and scolded him disapprovingly, saying, "If you want to see me, just call me directly. I can come to find you. Why bother making this trip?"
Shi Jin smiled and said, "I'm free."
Shi Weichong still looked disapproving. After the elevator opened, he took Shi Jin out, walked through the office area, brought Shi Jin and Gua Er into his office, and asked his assistant to bring in two cups of hot drinks.
Gua Er knew that Shi Jin came here this time to discuss "family matters" with Shi Weichong, so after sitting for a while, he tactfully suggested going outside for a walk, leaving the space for the two of them.
After he left, Shi Weichong sat back opposite Shi Jin and asked, "Xiao Jin, what are you doing here this time?" Shi
Jin didn't waste time and directly replied, "Brother, do you remember the mission I went on with my fourth brother a while ago? After I came back, I carefully looked at the mission information and found something."
"What is it?" Shi Weichong asked, and did not forget to open some snacks for Shi Jin.
Shi Jin observed his movements and expressions, organized his words, first briefly explained the general content of the mission and the background of the werewolf, and then said: "The mission target Yuan Mazi once mentioned one thing. He said that a few months ago, the werewolf had taken a kidnapping order abroad, but the order later fell through. When I came back and looked through the information, I accidentally discovered that the order they were talking about seemed to be me."
Shi Weichong paused in opening the snacks, his expression suddenly became ugly, and asked: "Are you sure?"
"This is just a guess, but I looked through the werewolf's client list and found a very familiar name on it, Xu Chuan." Shi Jin replied, carefully observing Shi Weichong's expression.
Hearing Xu Chuan's name, Shi Wei Chong was obviously stunned for a moment, and then as if he had thought of something, his face darkened, he took out his mobile phone, flipped out a number and was about to dial out, but hung up halfway and called Xiang Aoting instead.
Xiang Aoting quickly answered the phone and asked in confusion: "Brother, what's the matter?"
Shi Wei Chong repeated what Shi Jin had told him, and then asked Xiang Aoting to find a way to confirm whether the order Yuan Mazi was talking about was referring to Shi Jin.
Xiang Aoting's relaxed tone disappeared after hearing this, and he replied seriously: "I'll do it right away." After that, he hung up the phone directly.
Shi Jin listened to their conversation and finally felt relieved - Shi Weichong was indeed unaware of the kidnapping case, and there was someone else behind the scenes. His brother was a good brother, and he did not make a mistake. After
hanging up the phone, Shi Weichong looked at Shi Jin, and the first thing he said was to comfort him: "Don't be afraid, Xiao Jin, I will definitely help you find out everything about this matter, and I will not let anyone touch you." Shi Jin nodded
, smiled at him, and said: "I'm not afraid, anyway, I will help me take care of it if anything happens."
Shi Weichong's expression softened a little when he smiled, and he couldn't help but stand up and touch his head. Two days
later, Shi Jin's illness was finally completely cured, and news came from Shi Weichong and Xiang Aoting - it was confirmed that Xu Chuan had asked a werewolf to kidnap Shi Jin, and Yuan Mazi had said it himself, and now the authorities were sending people to arrest Xu Chuan for questioning.
Shi Jin didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and he didn't even expect Xiang Aoting and Shi Weichong to act so efficiently. They actually went directly to Yuan Mazi to confirm the facts, and then asked the authorities to arrest Xu Chuan.
"Is this the feeling of being protected by a brother..." Shi Jin muttered to himself, and pinched himself twice to see if he was dreaming.
Xiao Si also seemed to be in a dream, and replied: "Shi Wei Chong is actually a good brother..."
Both the person and the system were lost in thought, and they all felt a sense of unreality. They all forgot one thing - Yuan Mazi's mission was completed by the official and Mie together, and all the news from the official side would be fed back to Mie.
Lian Jun hung up the phone call from the official, and called Gua Er with a sullen face, asking Gua Er to bring Shi Jin over.
Gua Er hadn't seen Lian Jun with such an ugly face for a long time, and he was muttering to himself. After responding, he went to Shi Jin's room to find Shi Jin, and took him to the study while asking in a low voice: "Did you make Jun Shao angry? His face looks a little strange." Shi
Jin was shocked when he heard it, and remembered the indecent hug he gave Lian Jun when he went to find Shi Weichong two days ago. He replied guiltily: "No, Jun Shao looked fine during the meals these two days, and didn't look like he was angry." Not only did he not seem angry, but his attitude was even gentler than before, and he even chatted with him about some messy and meaningless family matters.
Gua Er saw through his guilty conscience, raised his hand and hooked his shoulder, threateningly saying: "Tell me the truth, otherwise I can't help you. I haven't seen Jun Shao with such an ugly expression for a long time. The last time Jun Shao showed this expression was when Gua Yi found out that Gua Si was a traitor." Shi Jin
was a little panicked when he heard this. After hesitating for a while, he still told the truth and said: "It's nothing. I was just impulsive before going out two days ago and hugged Jun Shao for a while... I swear, it was really just for a while, and I let go immediately after hugging!"
Gua Er looked at him in disbelief, slowly retracted his arm that was hooked around his neck, moved two steps to the side, and kept a distance from him.
"Little Second, you must help me!" Shi Jin rushed over and stuck to him.
Gua Er ruthlessly tore him apart, with an expression that he couldn't bear to look at directly: "May you wish for the best... Shi Xiaojin, I have finally seen through you. You are a toad, bold and thick-skinned."
Shi Jin's heart sank, and he asked painfully: "Is there really no hope?"
"No." Gua Er shook his head. Seeing his bitter face, he remembered Lian Jun's strange attitude towards him recently, and added, "Of course, you also know that Jun Shao is more soft-hearted. If you apologize, admit your mistakes, and say something nice, you may be able to fight for a lighter sentence." Shi Jin
's heart sank completely. When he
arrived at the study, Lian Jun was not sitting behind the desk reading documents, but sitting on the sofa facing the study door. He had nothing in his hands, and a document was placed on his knees, as if he was waiting for Shi Jin to come.
Shi Jin almost wanted to turn around and run away, because Lian Jun's expression was just as Gua Er described, very solemn, expressionless, without any warmth in his eyes, as if he had returned to the lifeless look when they first met, with nothing in his eyes.
"Shi Jin stay, Gua Er, you go outside to guard." Lian Jun ordered, even his tone was cold. Gua Er
gave Shi Jin a look that said "May the best come to you", turned around and left the study. Shi Jin
gritted his teeth and walked to Lian Jun with heavy steps, pulled up the corners of his mouth and smiled at him, and asked: "Jun Shao, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Sit down." Lian Jun ordered.
Shi Jin sat down obediently opposite Lian Jun. After thinking for a while, he honestly apologized and said, "I was wrong, Master Jun. I'm sorry."
Lian Jun's expression was still very ugly. He asked, "What's wrong?"
"I shouldn't have molested you..." Shi Jin lowered his head.
Lian Jun's expression became even uglier. He was so angry that he sat up straight. He picked up the document on his knees and threw it in front of him. He suppressed his temper and said, "This is something that the official has just sent over. Take a look at it yourself. After reading it, tell me where you are wrong."
Official documents?
Shi Jin realized that Lian Jun was not angry about the hug two days ago. He picked up the document and flipped it open with a look. His eyes widened - this turned out to be Yuan Mazi's confession of Xu Chuan and the list of werewolf customers that had been completely deciphered!
"Explain." Lian Jun saw his expression change, knowing that he recognized the things in the file. He tried to suppress the disappointment of not being trusted and said, "I remember the day you returned from the mission, I asked you about the details of the mission. Why didn't you mention that you were a werewolf customer at that time? Instead, you secretly went to find Shi Weichong and Xiang Aoting to help you investigate without waiting for your illness to recover? If the official hadn't sent this information to me, how long were you going to keep this secret from me?"
