Chapter 12: Apologies
Lin Xiao said expressionlessly: "I will not kill you if you are loyal, I will cut off your arm as a wake-up call, you go back and tell your master, Chen Yuran he can't move, if you move again, I will kill him next time!"
The old man's face changed drastically, his right hand clenched his fist, he didn't dare to say a word, he hurriedly turned around and fled, and he didn't even dare to drive the car.
After the old man left, Lin Xiao turned around and returned to the car, took Chen Yuran back to the car of the two gangsters, put him in the co-pilot and drove back to the city.
On the way, he sent a message to Liu Xue and asked where they were, and after learning that they were in the city bureau, he drove directly to the city bureau, and then got out of the car with Chen Yuran and walked in.
Liu Xue had been waiting at the door for a long time, and when she saw Chen Yu in Lin Xiao's arms, she was overjoyed with a pretty face, and hurriedly rushed over, and then asked with a frown, "How is Yuran?"
"She's fine, there are two kidnappers in the car, you go and bring them in. Lin Xiao said as he walked in.
Liu Xue pursed her lips, and when she learned that Chen Yuran was fine, she didn't care about Lin Xiao's command of her.
In the monitoring room, Yun Jinmian was still apprehensive when he hugged Chen Yuran, while Chen Huahong glanced at Lin Xiao, and the anger in his eyes decreased slightly.
But Yun Jinmian raised his head at Lin Xiao at this time and said coldly: "Please come over and be Yu Ran's bodyguard, is this how you protect Yu Ran?! If something happens to Yu Ran this time, I can't spare you!"
Liu Xue stood aside and opened her mouth to speak, but after all, she didn't say anything, no matter what she said this time, it was indeed Lin Xiao's dereliction of duty.
Lin Xiao also stood in place and didn't speak, and accepted Yun Jinmian's accusations in the face of all.
"Now that Yuran has found it, then we won't bother the Zhou Bureau. Chen Huahong said.
Zhou Ju glanced at Lin Xiao with strange eyes, waved his hand and said politely: "Mr. Chen will send his daughter to the hospital first." ”
Chen Huahong nodded, and several people went out to the hospital together, but when they got into the car, Yun Jinmian stared at Lin coldly and said with a smile: "You don't have to follow!"
Lin Xiaogang paused for a moment, and then took it back.
Liu Xue glanced at him with a complicated expression and drove away.
After stopping at the gate of the city bureau for a while, Lin Xiao walked to the villa on foot, the sky was getting dark, and in the hurry of pedestrians, he was alone.
Chen Yuran didn't go to class the next day, she stayed at home to rest with some fear, Shen Xiaoyue also got the news, and she kept apologizing with guilt, but Chen Yuran and the Chen family didn't blame her.
The Chen family and the Shen family were originally world friends, but now Chen Yuran is fine, and it is useless to blame Shen Xiaoyue.
In the hall of the manor, Lin Xiao stood alone, watching Chen Yuran enjoy the family under the care of Yun Jinmian and Chen Tianlin, Liu Xue and Shen Xiaoyue looked like half of the Chen family, but Lin Xiao was an outsider.
"Xiao Lin, thanks to you this time!" Chen Tianlin raised his head and said with a smile at Lin.
Lin Xiao also smiled slightly: "It's my dereliction of duty, Old Man Chen doesn't have to be polite." ”
Chen Tianlin frowned slightly, he was old and refined, how could he not hear Lin Xiao turn the title of grandfather into a subtle change in Old Man Chen.
Yun Jinmian snorted coldly and said, "Dad, you don't have to thank him! If he hadn't disappeared as soon as he got out of school, how could Yu Ran have been succeeded by the kidnappers? If he did something wrong, he would have to suffer the consequences! If he hadn't been fired, he had already done his duty, and I still want us to thank him?"
Chen Tianlin's face turned angry, and he scolded: "Shut up! Do you know that Xiaolin can go down the mountain to protect Yuran, which is the blessing of our Chen family!"
Yun Jinmian still wanted to say something, but when she saw the angry old man, she still didn't open her mouth after all, but her demeanor had already revealed her attitude, and she was still very disgusted with Lin Xiao.
"Alas, the woman's opinion is short-sighted, Xiaolin, don't be like her. Chen Tianlin said with some hatred that iron does not become steel.
Lin smiled and nodded, at least he couldn't find anything wrong with the etiquette.
Liu Xue watched from the sidelines, and she didn't know why she felt a little blocked in her heart, which was very unpleasant.
I had accused him before.
It's just that in the face of their accusations, this teenager has always accepted it lightly, if it is said that Chen Yuran was accused of him before he came back, it would be forgivable, but now Chen Yuran has returned safely, and he was rescued by Lin Xiao when he even felt embarrassed by Zhou Ju, so it stands to reason that he should not be blamed.
But Yun Jinmian did not restrain because of this, even so, did he still not refute?
A teenager, if he wants to say that he has no resentment in his heart, Liu Xue doesn't believe it, the previous sentence of Old Man Chen is the best proof!
When Chen Huahong came back for dinner, Chen Yuran, Liu Xue and Lin Xiao also returned to the villa, Liu Xue drove, Lin Xiao sat in the co-pilot, and Chen Yuran sat alone in the back seat.
As soon as Chen Yuran got in the car, he couldn't help but say, "Hmph! Lin Xiao, where did you go after school yesterday?"
"Went out and took care of a little personal matter. Lin Xiao said truthfully.
"Private matter? Do you know, because you went to deal with private affairs, I almost couldn't come back?! You are a bodyguard found by our family, without my consent, you left your post without authorization, causing me to be kidnapped, you say, should you be punished!?" Chen Yuran asked with a straight face.
In fact, she was beaming in her heart, and she finally let herself get the handle!
Liu Xuejiao's body stiffened, and she hurriedly turned around and glanced at Chen Yuran, to be honest, Lin Xiao couldn't be blamed for this matter, because Shen Xiaoyue had already told the ins and outs, if it wasn't for Chen Yuran getting rid of the bodyguard by himself, this kind of thing would not have happened.
Lin Xiao nodded like a nobody, "How is the eldest lady going to punish me?"
Chen Yuran was stunned and glanced at Lin Xiao strangely.
Doesn't I have the impression that this guy wants to quibble?
Then he crushed him with his IQ and forced him to accept the punishment so that he could gain the upper hand!
For Chen Yuran, who is extremely competitive, Lin Xiao's sudden attitude of not fighting or grabbing made her feel like she had punched cotton.
However, she was unwilling to admit defeat, thought for a while and said, "Why don't you just go back to your mountain and tell my grandfather that you don't want to protect me?"
Liu Xueqiao's face changed, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Yu Ran!
Chen Yuran's eyes widened, and he said with some grievance: "Sister Xue, who are you helping? Aren't we from the united front at the beginning? Our villa, don't let a boy live in!"
Lin Xiao said indifferently: "I have promised your grandfather that he will protect you until you are eighteen years old, and after these two months, you don't have to rush, I will leave." ”
"Na, this is what you said, whoever is playing tricks is a puppy!" Chen Yuran was angry at first, but soon he could only compromise helplessly, as if he was afraid that Lin Xiao would regret it, and hurriedly finalized the matter.
"Hmm. Lin Xiao nodded.
Liu Xue looked anxious on the side, especially when she saw Lin Xiao's indifferent look in the corner of her eye, she felt a little uncomfortable.
In his heart, he should be uncomfortable, right?
The car stopped at the door of the electronic gate of the villa, and Lin Xiao did not follow them in after walking in, but walked to the utility room in the yard.
"Lin Xiao, what are you doing?" asked Liu Xue with a bad premonition.
Lin smiled and said, "After all, you two are girls, and it is inconvenient to live together, this utility room can accommodate people, and I will live here in the future." ”
"How can this be done? If the old man knows, maybe he will blame us!" Liu Xue tried to use Chen Tianlin to stop Lin Xiao.
Chen Yuran was originally curious at first why Liu Xue suddenly helped Lin Xiao speak, but after hearing her words, she was mistaken, and immediately helped Liu Xue and said: "Okay, you Lin Xiao! You actually want my grandfather to blame us! Sure enough, I didn't have a good heart!"
Lin Xiao turned around and said, "I will tell Old Man Chen about this, you don't have to worry." ”
By the time he said this, he had already walked into the utility shelf.
This incident made him understand a truth, outsiders are just outsiders after all, and it was because of Old Man Chen's attitude towards him that he showed closeness, but when Chen Yuran disappeared, Chen Tianlin did not say a word in the face of the accusations of the Chen family.
This is also human nature, how can I compare with Chen Yuran?
It's not that he has a glass heart, he is not allowed to get in the car at the gate of the city bureau, and after coming back, Yun Jinmian's accusation, Lin Xiao is just a teenager after all, if you want to say that you are not unhappy in your heart, you are deceiving yourself.
In this case, it is better to draw a clear line with the Chen family, not to cross the line, and not to cross the line.
Anyway, after two months of being a bodyguard and leaving, the right to help the bad old man pay off this favor, what does the rest have to do with himself?
"Hmph! count you as acquaintances!" Chen Yuran was triumphant, like a proud little peacock, and walked towards the villa with his head held high.
Entering the villa, Liu Xue looked at Chen Yuran, and said without words: "Yuran, you ...... Alas!"
"Sister Xue, what's wrong?" Chen Yuran didn't know why, she didn't know what happened when she was unconscious.
Liu Xue immediately told her the ins and outs of her abduction, and then said: "I now understand a little, why the old man said that he could let him protect you, it is the blessing of our Chen family! Even when the Zhou Bureau was helpless in a short period of time, he was able to rescue you in such a short time, but the problem is that after rescuing you, uncles and aunts still treat him like that...... If it were you, you'd probably feel very uncomfortable, right?
Moreover, yesterday he also called the old man his grandfather, but today he called the old man Chen, and now he is excluded by you, I now believe a little bit, he really went down the mountain this time was really invited by your grandfather at a great price, before you excluded him so much, it is enough to see that he is not for money, since it is not for money, it is for love, plus we were three people in the same bed last night, has he ever done anything out of the ordinary to us? Such a character, but in the Chen family has been repeatedly criticized by white eyes, even I am panicked!"
In fact, at the gate of the city bureau, when she saw Lin Xiao's footsteps raised and ready to get into the car and retracted without saying a word, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Chen Yuran listened to Liu Xue's words in a daze, suddenly turned white, stomped his feet and said anxiously: "Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
Dropping these words, she ran straight out the door.
Liu Xue asked behind her, "Why are you going?"
"Apologies!"
