() Ji Citing accompanied Lin Manrong to the airport to pick up Lin Zhuo, and witnessed a picture of a sister and brother who had not seen each other for several years.

"Xiao Zhuo, you have grown so tall." Lin Manrong raised his head slightly and glanced at Lin Zhuo, feeling a sigh of emotion in his heart.

Three years ago, when Lin Zhuo went abroad to study, he was a little taller than Lin Manrong, but now, Lin Zhuo is almost as tall as Ji Citing.

Lin Zhuo's personality is still not much different from before, gentle and calm, much more indifferent than Lin Manrong.

After greeting each other, Ji Citing took Lin Manrong and Lin Zhuo to a nearby restaurant for dinner.

Along the way, Lin Manrong's eyes were full of joy, asking Lin Zhuo questions and asking questions, from studies to life, and even the topics of whether he had a girlfriend or not were asked by Lin Manrong over and over again.

Ji Citing was silent, and his heart was dissatisfied.

Lin Zhuo came back, and Lin Manrong treated him like air.

In the restaurant, after the waiter served the dishes one by one, Ji Citing, who had never said a word, finally spoke, "Lin Zhuo, in the past three years, you have never returned to China?" ”

Lin Zhuo raised his eyes and looked at Ji Citing, who was sitting in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded, "Well, I am too busy studying abroad, and I have not had much time to return to China." ”

Ji Citing responded lightly with a 'um' and did not continue to ask.

Just by Ji Citing's question, Lin Manrong remembered something important, "By the way, Xiao Zhuo, why did you suddenly come back this time?" Is something wrong? ”

Lin Manrong originally thought of this matter because of what Ji Citing said, and he didn't think much about it, but Lin Zhuo, hearing Lin Manrong's question, the smile on his face couldn't help but freeze a little.

In just a few seconds, Lin Zhuo regained his calm appearance, with a soft smile on his face, "This time I came back as an exchange student, under normal circumstances, I will stay in China for the rest of the year." ”

Lin Manrong nodded, "It's good to stay in China." ”

After speaking, Lin Manrong thought of something again, turned his head and looked at Ji Citing on the side, "Why don't you let Xiao Zhuo live in the villa, he has lived there before anyway." ”

Xiao Baozi is still reluctant to move back because of the last time someone sneaked into the villa, so Lin Manrong and Ji Citing had to live in the Ji family's old house with Xiao Baozi.

Now that Lin Zhuo is back, it is impossible to let him live in the old mansion together, which is not good, so letting Lin Zhuo live in the villa is the best way.

"Well, it's all right." Ji Citing replied lightly.

"Xiao Zhuo. What do you think? You have just returned to China now, and you have no place to live, so you should live in the previous villa first. Lin Manrong looked at Lin Zhuo and asked for Lin Zhuo's opinion.

Lin Zhuo didn't agree directly, but hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Sister, no need, I also looked at a small apartment before I came, and I just found an apartment to live in when the time comes." ”

As if afraid that Lin Manrong would continue to insist, Lin Zhuo continued to add, "And I still have to go to school, if I live in a villa, I have to drive something, it's quite inconvenient." ”

Seeing that Lin Zhuo said this, Lin Manrong didn't continue to insist, "That's okay, I'll send you to the apartment with Citing later." ”

At the dinner table, Lin Manrong and Lin Zhuo chatted from time to time, and Ji Citing sat next to Lin Manrong, glancing at Lin Zhuo several times from time to time.

From the airport to the restaurant, Ji Citing basically took in Lin Zhuo's every move and the changes in the expression on his face.

After eating, after Ji Citing and Lin Manrong sent Lin Zhuo to the rented small apartment, the sky was gradually dark.

Ji Citing took Lin Manrong back to the Ji family's old house, and along the way, Lin Manrong kept chattering about Lin Zhuo, Ji Citing didn't say a word, didn't say anything, just listened quietly.

It wasn't until the car was about to arrive at the old mansion that Ji Citing asked lightly, "Don't you think Lin Zhuo is a little strange?" ”

Lin Manrong was originally leaning on Ji Citing's shoulder, but after hearing Ji Citing's words, he reflexively got up and sat down, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Strange? ”

"No, I don't think it's strange."

Lin Manrong blinked, pondered for a while, and didn't understand what was wrong with Lin Zhuo, "I feel quite normal, do you mean he doesn't talk much?" He has a gentle personality since he was a child, and he has been autistic before, so now it is quite good. ”

Seeing that Lin Manrong didn't feel anything, Ji Citing didn't say anything more, but reached out and hugged Lin Manrong, "Maybe I'm thinking too much." ”

That being said, Ji Citing still knew clearly in his heart that Lin Zhuo's sudden return this time was definitely not only because of the exchange student, but also for other reasons.

Otherwise, when he asked Lin Zhuo some questions, why did Lin Zhuo's eyes dodge a little, and he was still a little hesitant to answer his questions.

Ji Citing put his arm around Lin Manrong and didn't say anything, leaning his back on the back seat, still thinking about Lin Manrong in his head.

The next few days were very calm.

Lin Manrong and Ji Citing went to and from work as usual, and Lin Manrong occasionally went to Lin Zhuo's apartment to find Lin Zhuo, and by the way, he brought a lot of food to fill the refrigerator.

It's just that after a period of time, Lin Manrong found that Lin Zhuo had less and less time at home, and even went to look for Lin Zhuo several times, but Lin Zhuo was not at home. ，

Lin Manrong only thought that it was because Lin Zhuo still had to attend classes or something, so he didn't think much about it.

Until a certain ......

Lin Manrong and Tang Xue went out shopping on weekends, and when they were about to go home in the evening, Lin Manrong found that the place where he was now was quite close to the small apartment where Lin Zhuo lived, so Lin Manrong bought some fruits and milk from a nearby supermarket and brought them to Lin Zhuo.

Lin Manrong held the key in his hand and hummed his little brother in his mouth.

When he walked a few steps away from the door of Lin Zhuo's room, his footsteps stopped suddenly, and the song he was humming just now also stopped abruptly.

At the door of the room, three strong men who looked fierce and evil and were very difficult to mess with stood at the door of the room, all wearing thick gold necklaces around their necks, and one of them had a scar on his fat face.

These guys don't seem to be good at it......

Lin Manrong swallowed his saliva, his mind was still a little confused, and he subconsciously looked up at the door number.

That's right......

Could it be that these people are in the wrong place?

Lin Manrong held the key in one hand, and for a while, it was not to leave, nor was it to go over and open the door with the key.

Just as Lin Manrong was hesitating, the person standing at the door of the room obviously noticed Lin Manrong's existence.

See Lin

Manrong was holding the key in one hand, looking like he was about to come over, and one of the men with scars on his face walked in the direction of Lin Manrong, looked at Lin Manrong from top to bottom, and asked in a thick voice, "Are you Lin Zhuo's girlfriend?" ”

……

Lin Zhuo's girlfriend?

Lin Manrong almost suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

Lin Zhuo is her brother, how can she be Lin Zhuo's girlfriend?

Are these people blind?

"How could I be Lin Zhuo's girlfriend, I'm ......" Lin Zhuo's sister.

Lin Manrong's reflexive denial, the words behind him hadn't been said yet, Lin Manrong reacted to something, and quickly swallowed the words that had not been said in the back into his stomach.

These people mentioned Lin Zhuo just now, so these people are here to find Lin Zhuo?

But these people in front of him all seem to be fierce and vicious, and it seems that they are deliberately looking for something.

"What is your relationship with Lin Zhuo?" The man asked expressionlessly, and the tone of his voice was obviously that he had guessed that she and Lin Zhuo definitely knew each other.

Lin Manrong pursed his lips, and countless big question marks popped up in his brain.

At this time, Lin Manrong didn't have time to think about so many other things, calmed down, and replied calmly, "I have nothing to do with Lin Zhuo, I live upstairs from him." 、”

"I asked him to help me last time, so I bought some things and came over to thank him."

As he spoke, Lin Manrong also lifted the bag in his hand and shook it in front of these men.

"By the way, isn't he home?" Lin Manrong deliberately asked, "Are you all his friends standing at his door?" ”

The man snorted lightly, his face full of displeasure, and deliberately glanced in the direction of the door, "Friend? Phew! ”

The man spat heavily on the ground.

"This Lin Zhuo owes us almost 100 million, and now he dares to flee back to China, thinking that escaping back to China will solve the problem?"

"When I catch him, watch him break his legs!"

The man's face was fierce, and when he said the last few words, the tone of his voice couldn't help but increase several points.

Hearing the man's words, Lin Manrong's eyes suddenly tightened, and his heart beat violently.

She's not dreaming.

Lin Zhuo almost owes 100 million to others?

Lin Manrong's strength in carrying the bag couldn't help but increase a few points, eased his emotions, and asked in disbelief, "You just said that Lin Zhuo almost owes you 100 million?" ”

"No, 100 million is not a small amount." Lin Manrong shook his head deliberately, "You can't lie to me, right?" ”

"Liared to you? Hehe, it doesn't do us any good to lie to you. The man looked disdainful, seeing that Lin Manrong was quite beautiful, he was willing to say a few more words, "If it weren't for the fact that this is a lot of money, how could we have chased after the country." ”

"You'd better stay away from this kind of person, or one day you will be killed in the street, and you may be involved." Another man added in a hoarse voice.

Hearing these people say this, Lin Manrong almost believed it.

It's just that Lin Zhuo has never been the kind of person who will mess around, and Lin Manrong can't figure out what Lin Zhuo is all about.

Lin Manrong squeezed the things he was carrying, and was about to leave to call Lin Zhuo when the man's mobile phone rang.
