Since Lin Wanjing woke up, there was an endless stream of people who came to visit her or didn't know, and the roulette general reception for a week, Lin Wanjing can be said to be physically and mentally exhausted, if she had a choice, she would rather go back to work in the foreign bank than stay in the Yukuntai anymore, and live this kind of life of saying the same thing to different people, even if most of the people who came were her relatives and friends.

After seeing her parents' car out of sight, Lin Wanjing returned to the living room and threw herself lazily on the sofa and didn't want to stand up.

It's still a little strange to think about it now, and I became a mother like this.

In retrospect, the process of giving birth to life was really wonderful, obviously she was still imagining his appearance before seeing him, but when he really came to her arms, she felt so familiar, so familiar that no matter how complicated the world was, she could recognize him as her child at a glance.

The flames in the hearth jumped on the fruit wood, and the beautiful bright yellow fire emitted bursts of fragrance, and the crackling sound accompanied by the intermittent cracking sparks was reflected in the quiet lake water in Lin Wanjing's eyes, and the lake water seemed to have life. The door of the living room opened, and Qiong Ge stepped in, first adding a few more charcoal fires to the fireplace, and then tiptoed towards Lin Wanjing.

"This year's spring cold is particularly fierce, right?" Lin Wanjing asked her.

"yes, it's cold outside." Qiong Ge nodded and whispered, "Young lady, this is the list of visitors tomorrow, you can take a look." ”

Lin Wanjing rubbed her eyebrows, stretched out her hand to take it, there were fewer and fewer familiar names on the list, she thought for a moment, took the pen to cross out all the appointments in the morning, and then, the tip of the pen paused for a while on the name of "Li Lingrui" among the afternoon visitors, and finally crossed out the name.

Qiong Ge saw that Lin Wanjing's expression was a little complicated, this is the action and expression she has been repeating for a week, she opened her mouth to persuade her, but as soon as the words were spoken, Liu Jin had already pushed the door in, Lin Wanjing handed the list back to Qiong Ge, and asked with a smile:

"Why is it so early today?"

"Come back early when you're done." Liu Jin replied, and intercepted Qiong Ge who was just about to take out the list, he sat down next to Lin Wanjing, looking at the list and frowning slightly-the number of guests on this list almost exceeded his daily attendance, and her body had not yet recovered, "I'll tell the clerical office tomorrow that I won't arrange these things for you anymore." It's so tiring. ”

"It's okay, it's just a tea chat, if not, others should say I'm putting on a fight." Lin Wanjing shook her head.

The incident of confronting Hu Maosheng at the door of the warehouse more than half a month ago should have spread in the army, how should the elders talk about her, Liu Jin didn't say it, she knew it in her own heart.

Liu Jin knew Lin Wanjing's worries, and also understood that the reason why she wanted to obstruct the search in the name of foreigners that day was to protect him, and the powerlessness in her heart was even more.

"Don't embarrass yourself too much." Liu Jin took her into his arms.

Lin Wanjing agreed softly, and only spoke again after a long time: "I want to go to the warehouse tomorrow morning." ”

Although it is said that because Lin Wanjing was shot, Liu Daolin has ordered the suspension of the search of the No. 1 warehouse, but Lin Wanjing understands in her heart that the more she obstructs it, the more the world will be suspicious of all kinds of hidden secrets, the British Consulate will never sign a search warrant, but using this as an excuse is never a long-term solution, and only by opening the warehouse door and letting people check it out can it be calmed down.

As soon as he heard her say that she was going to the warehouse, Liu Jin's heart suddenly tightened, the situation of that day is still vivid, for a long time, that picture has repeatedly appeared in his dreams, he woke up in the deafening gunfire every day, cold sweat.

"I'll go with you." He said.

"No, it's better for you to stay close to that batch of goods in this situation, and it's even more difficult to tell when you are seen." Lin Wanjing staggered, her voice steady, "I will find a way to transfer that batch of goods, but we still have to prepare for the worst." ”

It's the worst plan again, Liu Jin's temples jumped, no one dared to tell him to make the worst plan, but he had heard it twice in a month now.

"Don't tell me that if someone finds out, I'll put all the blame on you," he interrupted her, "and I'm not going to put you alone in danger again." ”

Lin Wanjing didn't answer, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, Liu Jin's words made her heart warm, she felt him kiss her forehead, and said softly:

"Even if it really comes the day to go to the Yama Hall for tea, I will stand in front of you, and no one is allowed to hurt you again."

The long-lost white car stopped in the open space in front of the warehouse, and the workers guarding the warehouse obviously didn't expect Lin Wanjing to come, and after being stunned for a long time, they turned around and called the supervisor.

"Miss, why are you here on this cold day?" Uncle Yong stepped forward and said.

"I think everyone, so let's take a look. Are you healed? Lin Wanjing looked at Uncle Yong, he was the most seriously injured on the day he resisted the search, and there is still gauze on the corner of his eyebrows.

"Hey, Miss, don't worry about the old man and me, I can still bear it for a few moments! It's just that the old man is old and useless after all, and he didn't take good care of the eldest lady......" Uncle Yong lowered his head and shook his head, "But the eldest lady, your injuries are all healed?" Oh, counting the hours before you are out of confinement! Tell me what you're doing here! ”

Hearing his tone becoming more and more anxious, Lin Wanjing hurriedly reassured: "I grew up in the West since I was a child, and I don't pay attention to these, my body is almost better, don't worry." After a while, there are some goods to be shipped out of this warehouse, all of which are important items, so I can't rest assured so I will take a look. ”

When Uncle Yong heard her say this, he knew that it was useless to persuade him, so he sighed a few times, and then hurriedly turned around and said to the workers behind him as if he remembered something, "Quick, go quickly, the brothers who kept vigil yesterday all shouted, the eldest lady is here!" ”

"Uncle Yong!" Lin Wanjing hurriedly shouted to him, "Don't be busy, let the brothers rest, I'll come to see the goods today, and when the child is out of confinement in a while, I will bring it to celebrate with the brothers." ”

Enough laughter, Uncle Yong helped arrange some capable people to guard outside the warehouse, and Rong Lin Wanjing went into the warehouse alone. The inside and outside of the warehouse are still the same as when they left that day, and although the bluestone floor at the door has been cleaned, the black marks left in the brick cracks are not known whether they are coagulated blood or stains that have settled over time.

Lin Wanjing didn't look away, closed the warehouse door and walked straight to the corner of the pile, thinking about how to go next as she walked - in a few days, a batch of cheese stored in the warehouse will be loaded out of the port, but so far she has not received the notice of receiving the goods from Matthews Foreign Company, presumably someone asked for a long vacation for her, she hoped that this person was Liu Jin, but her intuition denied her hope.

There were a few arguments outside the warehouse, and she couldn't hear clearly through the heavy warehouse door, she hurriedly covered the box that she had pried open before, and turned around to see the warehouse door opening and closing, Li Lingrui strode towards her, and Uncle Yong followed behind her and kept dissuading.

"Miss, I told Boss Li, you said that no one can enter, but he didn't listen......"

Lin Wanjing stared at Li Lingrui for a long time, and finally turned her eyes away and said to Uncle Yong: "Forget it, Uncle Yong, I just have something to talk to him." ”

This is to allow Li Lingrui to stay in the warehouse, Uncle Yong said hello, turned to leave, and closed the warehouse door by the way. The aftermath of the tremor of the gate shook the dust all over the ground, and in the flying dust, Li Lingrui's gaze slowly changed from negative to gentle, and when the dust settled, he finally asked:

"Why don't you want to see me?"

He had been her personal physician during Lin Wanjing's coma, but when she woke up, she refused all his requests to meet, and Liu Jin protected her inside the layers of guards on the Imperial Kuntai, and her name was on her guest list every day, but she crossed it all out.

"Why did you come when you know I didn't see you?" Lin Wanjing turned her back, she could never look directly into his gaze, as she did when she was a child.

"I'm worried about you." Li Lingrui said, "I took the leave of the foreign bank, and I also submitted the application for you temporarily, so before your maternity leave ends, I am the temporary supervisor of this warehouse." ”

That's true. Lin Wanjing sighed in her heart, this was the last thing she wanted to hear, and Li Lingrui was also the person she didn't want to see at the moment.

"Now I'm fine, sell the fake of the foreign bank for me, and I'll take care of this warehouse myself."

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Li Lingrui asked, with an unclear smile between his words, and a vague hint of sarcasm, "Do you not believe me, or is there really something unsightly in this warehouse?" ”

Lin Wanjing knew that he would ask like this, because he must already know about the illegal possession of arms.

"I don't want you to have anything to do with this, so don't approach me or come to me until this matter is dealt with."

"It's too late." Seeing that she was in a hurry, Li Lingrui smiled instead, "I checked the warehousing records and shipping space information of that batch of goods early in the morning, and I already knew about this batch of goods." Have you ever considered what would happen if your agent was not me but anyone else? ”

Daigo's empowerment, Lin Wanjing's eyes couldn't help but widen - yes, she should have thought of this a long time ago, which means that he didn't plan to get out of this matter early on.

"You shouldn't do this...... Lin Wanjing's eyes dimmed, "I made the mistake, now you should think about your wife and children, you shouldn't have anything to do with this batch of goods." ”

Gu Yiguang is three months pregnant, and now Li Lingrui is also a father soon.

"So you can't leave me in trouble." Li Lingrui was relieved, smiled and raised his hand to stroke her cheek, "You definitely can't do it alone, but with me, we can do it." ”

There was a thin sound on the outer wall, and Li Lingrui raised a hand to instruct Yi Lin Wanjing not to speak, but the two stopped talking, and there seemed to be no sound outside the wall.

"I'll look for you again in a few days, you wait for my news!"

Lin Wanjing wanted to say something, but Li Lingrui left him a confident smile and turned to leave, she knew that he was acting in the dialogue just now, and she was really serious, she also knew that he couldn't listen to persuasion, otherwise he wouldn't have chased her today. She sat on the box with some frustration, looked at the various goods around her, and suddenly laughed: Li Lingrui said that she couldn't let him have anything to do, but how could she make such a promise?

In the middle of the night, most of the lights in the courtyard of the Li family were already out, leaving only a few dim street lamps in the corridor to keep vigil. The bedroom door slowly opened, Gu Yiguang came out, the study lamp at the end of the corridor was still on, and the bright light leaked out from under the door, which was very conspicuous in the dimly lit corridor, she stepped through the corridor, gently pushed open the study door, and saw Li Lingrui sitting in front of the desk, with her hands on her forehead and looking very distressed, she hesitated for a moment in place, and said softly:

"May I come in?"

Li Lingrui raised his head, saw that it was his wife, and nodded with a smile.

Gu Yiguang approached, his eyes fell on the thick scratch paper on his bookcase, the ink pen outlined the shape of the scribbled coastline, and he also had a map of several ports in Luzhou in his hand.

"Are you worried about Wanjing's affairs?" She asked.

"Hmm." Li Lingrui picked up the Western clock that was deliberately put down on the side of the desk and glanced at it, "It's all like this...... Sorry, I didn't pay attention to the time...... Let's go, go back and rest. As he spoke, he straightened up the things on the table, but his mind didn't stop thinking.

Seeing that he frowned slightly, Gu Yiguang knew that he hadn't let go of this matter yet, and said, "I'm not busy, I'm not very sleepy, but you, have you figured out a way?" ”

"I have some ideas, I have to discuss it with her tomorrow."

"If you want me to say, you can join forces in this matter, but there is another person, I hope you can consider asking him for help."

Li Lingrui stopped what he was doing, looked up at her and waited for the following.

"The young owner of Heyanfang, Shen Junyi."

Li Lingrui knew this name, just a few days ago, Shen Junyi personally came to the house to find him, saying that there was a batch of private goods without certificates and did not want to pay taxes, hoping that Li Lingrui could help, Li Lingrui did not accept it at the moment, only said that the storage space of the No. 1 warehouse was tight, and he would reply to him after taking inventory. In fact, in terms of the storage capacity of Warehouse No. 1, swallowing Shen Junyi's 100 boxes of illicit goods is more than enough, but smuggling is a big or small crime, and he doesn't want to cause trouble to foreign companies.

"As far as I know, Shen Gongzi has a brother who listens to errands under Yu Shuai, although his official position is not big, but he is also a person who can speak. We are not afraid of the people now, but we are afraid that the goods will be found out. If he wants to get out of the 100 boxes of goods through our hands, he will definitely try to hide the past, his 100 boxes can't be checked, and the goods next to him are afraid that they are not easy to check strictly, which is in line with our wishes. ”

Li Lingrui stared at his wife, and his smile deepened: "Yiguang, I must have accumulated great virtue in my last life, and I can only be accompanied by you in this life." Tomorrow, I will go to ask for the consent of the foreign bank and talk to Shen Junyi. ”

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to go to this matter, you have to go Wanjing herself."

"How?"

"You don't know, it is rumored that Wanjing was because you rejected the Shen family's proposal. Although Shen Gongzi may not be such a stingy person, since he has this worry, let's simply prepare for this matter, do you think it's right? ”

Li Lingrui didn't answer her, just walked up to her with a smile, grabbed her waist and bowed her head and kissed her: "I only found out today that my wife lost a woman, if this is a man, she must be a handsome general of Wen Taowu." He seemed to think about it, and then said, "You said that if you have a son in your belly, you will simply recognize Liu Jin as your godfather in the future and practice martial arts with him." Establishing a career in the closed territory, high-ranking officials are generous, just around the corner! ”

Gu Yiguang knew that he was joking, but he still said seriously: "Come on, fame and fortune are not what I want, peace and happiness are enough." ”
