Han Li threw the phone in his hand onto the table, then closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair.
His brows were furrowed in annoyance, his lips were stretched into a cold straight line, his cheekbones were flushed with a sickly color, and he seemed to be on the verge of exploding.
The curtains were drawn tightly, blocking out most of the light. The room was filled with an almost hazy dimness. Only the mobile phone screen on the table was still emitting a faint light, illuminating the unprocessed documents scattered on the desktop.
Han Li stood up, peeled out two aspirin pills and swallowed them.
He started having a fever ever since he left Cheng Chen's building that day.
The family doctor couldn't find the specific cause and could only guess that it might be due to catching a cold after being caught in the rain that day. No matter what medicine he was prescribed, it didn't work. Only aspirin could barely suppress the severe pain that was churning and screaming in his head.
But for some reason, Han Li actually understood vaguely in his heart...
This time, the low fever and headache seemed to have nothing to do with physical causes such as being caught in the rain.
He frowned, leaned his head back on the soft leather chair, and raised his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose.
Under the tightly closed eyelids, the eyeballs showed extremely strange halo changes due to the pressure - a clear picture suddenly appeared in front of the eyes without any warning, a moonless night, a dark and shining gun muzzle, and... endless falling.
Han Li suddenly opened his eyes, and beads of sweat had covered his forehead. He was breathing heavily, and a look of fear flashed in his dark eyes.
——Yes, these days, whenever he closed his eyes, the strange scene in his dream would appear before his eyes.
Moreover, each time it seemed to add new details to the blurred and broken fragments, as if a highly skilled painter was adding contours and colors to his paintings bit by bit, making those unclear pictures gradually become coherent and vivid. Those dark and gloomy pictures rolled out from his dreams, instantly engulfing and occupying his mind like a tide, as if he had experienced them personally, every minute and every second was vivid.
He could even smell the kidnapper's warm and foul breath in the cold night, feel the rough friction of the rope on his wrists, and taste the bloody smell spreading in his mouth.
Also, the sudden puncture and fracture of the leg bones and knees.
Han Li had to frequently reach out and touch his limbs below the knees, just to make sure that there were no empty trouser legs there.
Just then, his cell phone rang again.
Han Li reached out and picked up the phone. His voice was hoarse and low, with a hint of impatience:
"……explain."
The voice over there sounded a little distorted through the microphone, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet room:
"Brother Han, we have found the thugs who blocked you before. It is said that a new force has recently arrived in the eastern city. We checked and it seems that they spread the rumor that you are related to us. Not many people believe it, and it only incited those brainless and ambitious scoundrels to cause trouble for you. This matter should not have much to do with the Han family - if I am not mistaken, there is a new player in the city."
The wrinkles between Han Li's brows deepened. He stared thoughtfully at the half-folded city map not far away on the table, and a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes.
He said slowly:
"Keep checking. This is a critical period for PUZZEL's expansion. No accidents are allowed to happen."
The difference from that strange dream was that during the kidnapping, his legs were fortunately rescued in time. Although he suffered serious sequelae, he could at least walk.
The man's unintentional words at the time forced Han Li to look directly at all the clues that he was unwilling and dared not to examine.
Doubt is a seed that once planted will flourish.
The cause of his mother's death, his kidnapping, the decline of his grandfather's family, and the smelly water stains oozing from the dark mud hidden under the grand and wealthy appearance of the Han family made people feel cold all over.
His last bit of attachment and hope to this family was extinguished, and the thought of being associated with the Han family made him sick.
In order to avoid being killed and for long-term planning, Han Li, on the grounds of putting his family first, voluntarily moved to another province in a low-key manner. Then he secretly developed his own power in a range beyond the reach of the Han family and created the prototype of his own empire. PUZZEL was the starting point of his journey. With it as the core, Han Li secretly developed a series of industries. None of them were large in scale and did not attract the attention and vigilance of the Han family, but they were densely covered in all key industries.
And now is the critical juncture for PUZZEL's development to reach a higher level, and even Han Li dare not take it lightly.
So even though he had such a headache, he still stayed on the top floor of PUZZEL to deal with it and work.
Without warning, the sharp eyes and eyebrows of the young man in the rain flashed through his mind. Han Li paused, opened the conversation interface with Lin Ziyu, stared at it calmly for a while, and then slowly turned off the screen.
He sincerely hoped that Cheng Chen had nothing to do with this matter.
·
Lin Ziyu did not go directly to class. Instead, he turned and walked to the dessert shop next to the school. He ordered all the desserts and breads displayed on the counter, filled a big bag, and then walked towards Cheng Chen's class whistling.
His mood was as sunny and cheerful as the weather.
You know, this is the first time in all the years that he and Han Li have known each other that he has shown clear interest in someone.
And he even asked him to help deal with the thugs who were harassing him! He also specifically told himself to pay close attention to him at school!
——Wow!
Based on Lin Ziyu's understanding of Han Li over the years, this level of attention is definitely extraordinary!
Lin Ziyu's gossipy heart, which had been dormant for several years, finally burned fiercely, and he sketched out eight hundred versions of grudges and love in his mind along the way.
As he walked, he was thinking idly:
After all, even he who claims to be loyal has changed several girlfriends over the years, while Han Li’s love history has always been - blank. Could it be that the reason why Han Li turned a blind eye to those girls who showed their affection to him for so many years has finally been found! The reason why I kept myself chaste for so many years was actually because of gender incompatibility!
Lin Ziyu turned his head and looked behind him feeling somewhat guilty.
He was a little afraid that Han Li would suddenly jump out from a corner, stare at him with his scary black eyes, and then ask slowly: What were you thinking about just now?
But... no matter what, it's never wrong to build good relationships! After all, Han Li also told him to take good care of others, didn’t he?
Lin Ziyu casually reached out and pulled a student who was walking out of the class, stuffed a large bag of bread, cake and sandwiches in his hand into his arms, and naturally instructed: "Give it to Cheng Chen, and say it was given by Han Li."
——Enhance feelings, perfect.
The student was so frightened that he stammered:
"W-what?"
Lin Ziyu raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you understand?"
The student was so scared that he quickly shook his head, then he quickly walked into the classroom as if he was escaping, put the things on the empty table, and whispered: "That, that, Han Li gave it to you."
Chen Kong was sleeping unconscious on the table when he was suddenly awakened by a bag of things that hit him. He subconsciously looked outside the classroom.
There was no one outside the classroom.
Lin Ziyu felt that he had done a great thing, so he followed the example of Lei Feng and turned around and left without leaving his name, whistling happily as he walked towards his class.
Seeing that there was no one at the door, my hope of retreating was dashed.
Chen Kong slowly got up, took out a sandwich and took a bite without hesitation, and said to the system with true feelings:
"If I had known that being a good person would get free breakfast, I would have probably started earlier."
system:"……"
The other students in the classroom who saw this scene were dumbfounded and couldn't believe their eyes for a moment:
Cheng Chen knows Lin Ziyu? And Lin Ziyu actually brought breakfast to Cheng Chen? ? What's wrong with the world? ? ?
Xu Linsheng, who was sitting in the corner of the classroom, was also shocked. His handsome face was mostly destroyed by the arrogance that never disappeared. He reached out and grabbed the classmate who had just helped to bring in the things, and asked in disbelief, "Was that Lin Ziyu just now?"
The classmate nodded with a bitter face and said with some stammering: "Yes... He said that it was given by Han Li."
Cheng Chen not only knows Lin Ziyu, but also Han Li? ? ?
Xu Linsheng's face was filled with more surprise. He let go of the classmate and said to his follower, "Have you invited Cheng Chen to my birthday party tonight?"
The henchman was stunned for a moment: "Master Xu, didn't you say you didn't want that nerdy poor guy to be an eyesore in front of you?"
Xu Linsheng reached out and slapped him on the back of the head, and said angrily, "Bullshit, I didn't say that, go and ask for it quickly."
The follower nodded hurriedly, ran a few steps into the distance, turned back, and said hesitantly:
"Um...Mr. Xu, what if he refuses?"
Xu Linsheng sneered, "How is that possible? My party is held at PUZZEL. Many people have been queuing for months and still can't get a seat. This may be the only chance for this poor guy to go to such a high-end place in his life."
