Chapter Eighty-Nine: Transactions
When Lin Xiaoxiao was told the news that Chen Lihong wanted to see her, she was really shocked. The small drum in her heart kept "knocking" non-stop, and she couldn't tell what this woman wanted to do.
When she came out of the police station, she immediately bought a ticket to Beijing at noon the next day, and decided to disappear from Shenzhen and start a new life.
As for the little black brother she kept shouting, she only felt a little guilty in her heart for a while, and said to herself: Little black brother, I'm sorry, but I also dedicated my best self to you, and you don't lose it. Everything has a price, so let's take what we need.
She didn't want to see Chen Lihong again, but she didn't dare not see her.
On the third day of the incident, the day after Chen Lihong and the man in black were imprisoned, she rushed to the police station very early.
Before meeting Chen Lihong, in order to make up for the guilt in her soul and to appease the emotions of the man in black, she specially asked to visit the man in black first, and brought him some clothes and daily necessities.
After the man in black accepted the things, he stared at Lin Xiaoxiao silently for a long time and did not speak.
In such an atmosphere, Lin Xiaoxiao felt a little nervous. She touched her face, combed a strand of hair on her forehead with her fingers, and smiled at the man in black, because it was deliberately squeezed out, it looked extremely unnatural. Then, he glanced to the side embarrassedly, and turned to look at the man in black:
"Brother Hei, is there something wrong with my face? I'm a little nervous when you stare at me like this. As he spoke, Lin Xiaoxiao's face was already crimson.
"Hehehe, there's nothing wrong with it, it's good, it's all good. β
The man in black laughed with an indescribable self-deprecation. From the moment Lin Xiaoxiao came in, he had been silently observing, and all kinds of moments of getting along with him kept flashing in his mind, and his thoughts were repeated.
"Thank you, little black brother. I keep in my heart all the kindness you have done to me. I will take good care of our children and wait for you to come back. β
Lin Xiaoxiao said that he was a little moved, and couldn't help but shed a few more tears.
"Xiao Xiao, do you really love me?"
The man in black looked at Lin Xiaoxiao, who was wiping tears from his eyes, and asked again. This question is something he has always cared about, and he told himself over and over again that Lin Xiaoxiao loves him, so that he will feel that all the commitments are worth it, otherwise he himself will feel very ridiculous.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't expect that the man in black was still struggling with this question, and replied, "Dang, of course, of course I love you." β
However, the man in black was not as moved as Lin Xiaoxiao expected, but suddenly laughed "hahaha". This laughter made Lin Xiaoxiao's heart furious, and his voice began to tremble, "Little, little black brother, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, you go, don't worry, since I promised you, I won't go back. β
At the same time that the laughter of the man in black stopped abruptly, the man had already gotten up and left, and this time he didn't look back.
When Chen Lihong was taken out by a female policeman, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but secretly rejoice in her decision. It's only been one night, Chen Lihong has been haggard as if she had a serious illness, her hair is messy and unmanaged, the wrinkles on her face seem to have grown a lot, which is particularly obvious, a pair of originally bright eyes have become dull, big eye bags, eyelids seem to be a little swollen, and the whole person looks old like an ordinary housewife, how can there be the previous arrogance and nobility.
"Lin Xiaoxiao, Lin Xiaoxiao. Chen Lihong, who was sitting opposite, found Lin Xiaoxiao's sluggish appearance and shouted twice.
I don't know why, the moment he saw Chen Lihong, Lin Xiaoxiao thought of the man in black again, and kept pondering the last words and expressions of the man in black, muttering in his heart: Did he find any flaws, but if so, why didn't he poke it.
Chen Lihong's shouting was too sudden, she was already a little nervous, she was so frightened that she trembled a little, and instinctively replied impatiently, "Oh, I want to scare people to death." β
"Lin Xiaoxiao, you are here to let me see you in a daze, I don't have time to accompany you. Chen Lihong looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with disdain, in her eyes, this woman used to be stupid, but now she has another characteristic: shameless and cunning.
Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly woke up, secretly observed Chen Lihong's expression, looked around timidly, and then said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Sister Chen, I remembered something just now, and I was so distracted by it that I forgot where it was." β
Chen Lihong glanced at her obliquely, looked at the white wall behind her, cocked Erlang's legs, deliberately lowered her voice, and issued a serious warning, "Lin Xiaoxiao, don't think that you don't know what you did. The little detective was deceived by you and fell for your beauty trick, so he was willing to do anything for you. I, Chen Lihong, am not so selfless, let alone emotional. Now that I've done you so much, shouldn't you show some sincerity, otherwise I don't need to say the consequences, you know. β
Lin Xiaoxiao heard the threat and pressure between the lines, with her understanding of Chen Lihong, how could she give her such a big favor for no reason. Before she came, she was mentally prepared. As long as it is not murder and arson, she agrees to all the conditions, and as for the future, she can only take one step at a time, stabilize this woman first, and wait until the case is settled. Therefore, this time she behaved righteously and awe-inspiring, pretending to be very grateful and made a firm promise to Chen Lihong:
"Sister Chen, I will never forget your help to me in my life, and I will always remember it. You are like my reconstituted parents, giving me a chance to live again. Say, what do you want me to do? As long as it's not murder and arson, as long as it's within my ability, I'll do my best to repay you for your kindness. β
Chen Lihong knew that these words were deliberate compliments and excuses by Lin Xiaoxiao, but she didn't feel uncomfortable listening to them, but to a certain extent, because of her vanity, she regained a certain sense of overlook. Yes, she has always felt that she wears a halo on her head, and her superior family conditions have often seen a lot of servility, so she has long formed her self-centered characteristics, such as outsiders, Lin Xiaoxiao, and Liu Bin.
At this moment, in order to hold Lin Xiaoxiao for her future use, although she was used in her heart, she deliberately pretended to be very indifferent and said:
"Okay, you should keep these words for your little black brother, and I will be exempt from these clichΓ©s. My request is simple, I want you to help me keep an eye on one thing. A person promised me before, if I do him a favor, he will give our company 50 million orders, now I have helped, but the order is only 10 million, according to the agreement, the remaining 40 million orders will come one after another. I can't get out now, and I don't know if he's going to keep his promise. Now that my husband and I are divorced, it is likely that we will never see each other again, and he didn't know about it in the first place, so I hope you can help me keep an eye on this matter. If the follow-up order is not completed, you can send me a message. Can you do it?"
"Sister Chen, this matter is simple, you can rest assured, I will definitely help you keep an eye on this matter. Lin Xiaoxiao patted his chest and promised. She thought to herself: This matter is too simple, even if the order is not reached, even if you don't ask Liu Bin, don't you find someone from his company to ask? It's a bit funny that it's so troublesome.
She wanted to laugh, but she couldn't help but face Chen Lihong's eyes.
Her subtle movements did not escape Chen Lihong's eyes at all, how did she know that Chen Lihong was worried about a simple order now, she was worried about her own safety, and she was worried about a question all the time: When things have developed to this point, will the person who entrusted her with things really choose to believe her?
On the night of the incident, Chen Lihong's words on the phone were aimed at reassuring the other party in order to protect herself, and at the same time, she was also putting appropriate pressure on her to seek more beneficial interests for herself.
She knew that the other party had a head and a face, and the strength was strong, and a little negative news was likely to bring ruin to it, not to mention that it was such a big thing, and he would not easily allow a potential threat to exist. And many things can even be said to be able to cover the sky with one hand, and compared to him, one is an ant and the other is a big tree. Even if she wants to struggle and confess all her true feelings, she may still become a scapegoat, and will eventually be in vain. Instead of this, it is better to win some practical benefits for yourself, and you can also earn more property for your children.
And if the other party gives the order to their company as promised, it proves that she believes that she can stop the matter, otherwise, it can only mean that the other party does not trust her and is ready to put her to death, the purpose is to completely bury all potential troubles. When the time comes, if she gets the first opportunity, she will still have a chance to protect herself.
Whether Lin Xiaoxiao can be as reliable as she said, Chen Lihong is also a little worried, she used to think that this girl had no brains, but now she can easily let the little detective be willing to apologize for her, and refresh her cognition.
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart more than once: A woman's heart is really not to be underestimated.
But now she has no choice but to choose to believe, because there is no second person around her to believe. At the very least, for Lin Xiaoxiao, she still has a bargaining chip that can be contained.
"I hope you can take this matter to heart, that person said that half of the order will be given in the next two days, you help me inquire carefully. Don't be as careless as you did before and make mistakes. If something goes wrong again, I can't help you. Chen Lihong deliberately accentuated her tone, re-emphasized it, and deliberately made inviolable hints.
Lin Xiaoxiao understood Chen Lihong's words, his life was in the hands of others at any time, where did he dare to slack off. So, she nodded fiercely, and asked seriously and cautiously, "Sister Chen, can you tell me who or which company you said will give you the order, so that I may be able to grasp the relevant information more accurately." β
Chen Lihong hesitated for a long time, and then said as if she had made a lot of determination, "Tang's jade, general manager Tang Jian." β
