Humans are very good at spotting change. In He Qi's eyes, the changes that happened to Lin Mu were as eye-catching as the lights in the night.

Not an outward change, but an inner change. She could clearly feel that her cousin, who used to always have a smile on his face and a kind personality, was now almost a different person.

She wondered. What kind of work can make such a big change in a person?

"Work?"

Turning his head to look at the surface of the river reflecting neon lights, Lin Mu hung his head and said, "It's not a good job, but it's something I have to do, it may take a few years, or it may be ......."

"Anyway, that's what I have to do."

Suddenly, a warm delicate body hugged him from behind, and the confused breathing could be clearly felt in his back. His body stiffened, and he whispered, "Xiaoqi, what are you doing?" ”

"Brother...... Forest curtain. ”

The long-term pursuit and admiration seemed to be no longer able to be suppressed at this moment, He Qi hugged his broad back tightly, and the chain that represented restraint in his heart was ...... Shattered,

Whatever! I'm not a kid anymore!

"I like you, I've liked you since a long time ago, and I've always been ...... Like you, if you have anything to say, just let me know! ”

The girl's hot breathing made Lin Mu feel that his back seemed to be burning a little. He never thought that He Qi would hide such a thought in his heart, and he never thought that he couldn't seem to say anything to scold.

After being silent for a long time, he broke He Qi's hand, turned around, and said with a smile: "It's not too early, it's time for us to rest." ”

**

Early the next morning, after Lin Mu instructed Old Carl some precautions, he left the hotel with He Qi.

On the bus to Jintai County, neither he nor He Qi mentioned the incident by the river last night. But a strange atmosphere still breeds between the two.

Lin Mu sat inside, looking at the fast-flashing scenery outside the window, and felt a big headache in his heart. He could clearly feel that He Qi had been staring at him.

Facing the show of love of a young and beautiful girl, if she is not her cousin, if she does not grow up with herself, if she ......

Suddenly, Sophia's little face without a trace of blood flashed through his mind, his heart jerked, and his breathing couldn't help but be a little heavier.

His mind slowly drifted to another world, the one that often left him breathless.

Scenes of killing, bones in ruins, vivid and real people. In the end, there is a heavy burden that weighs on my heart like a mountain.

Initially just to cure cancer, then to find Phirina and now ...... He had to save the girl who had lost her breath, and the child in her womb.

That's what he has to do, and it's something that only he can do!

"Hoo ......"

With a long sigh, Lin Mu came back to his senses and found that his forehead was already covered with beads of sweat.

There was an almost undetectable snoring sound beside him, and he turned his head to see that He Qi tilted his head, leaned on his shoulder, and slept soundly.

Raising his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, he closed his eyes, and there was no confusion in his heart.

Soon, the bus arrived in Jintai County. With the gifts prepared in advance, he and He Qi returned to their long-lost home.

Uncle He Wen is still silent, and likes to sit on the old sofa, reading the newspaper in his hand while listening to the news report on TV.

Aunt Lin Lisu chattered non-stop, her words were full of concern for him, and finally ...... It's hoping that he will quit his current job.

Surrounded by a white-washed apron, Lin Li sat on a small bench, picking leeks in her hand, and said: "Lin Mu, it's not good to make a lot of money, you go out for half a year, you can't even make a phone call, it's so chaotic in foreign countries now, it's better to quit your job and come back to find another one!" ”

As she spoke, she turned her head to look at He Wen and asked, "Old He, didn't you say that your comrade-in-arms had just been transferred back to become an official here?" If you can't go and find him, find a job for Lin Mu in the local area, and save me from being scared every day. ”

With a light snort, He Wen pushed his glasses, turned his head, and said, "Do you think people still remember me, a flat-headed commoner?" Besides, if you spend money to do things with him, wouldn't it be a participation? ”

As soon as these words came out, Lin Li immediately became angry, and the basin in her hand slammed on the ground, saying, "Hey! Are you still telling me this? If you hadn't had a little brain, you're ...... now."

"Ahem!"

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Lin Mu hurriedly coughed and said, "Auntie, uncle, my job is very good now, I will be busy for a year or two at most, and I will be able to come back and live a peaceful life!" ”

In the evening, a long-lost leek box made Lin Mu eat with a mouthful of relish. After eating, he took out a thick envelope from his pocket and put it on the table, and said, "Auntie, there are 30,000 yuan here, which is considered as tuition and living expenses for Xiaoqi." ”

My aunt's family is not wealthy, and the family basically depends on my uncle's dead salary, and now that He Qi is in college, the family's financial situation is naturally more tense.

As for why he gave 30,000 yuan? It's not because he's stingy, it's ...... If you take out too much money at once, there is no way to explain it.

Seeing that his aunt and uncle were frowning and not speaking, he shook his head and said, "Don't take it too seriously, this is my salary for three or two months now, if you don't accept it, I won't be able to feel at ease when I go to work." ”

Seeing him get up and start putting on his coat, Lin Li was surprised: "You're leaving?" ”

"Recently, the work has reached a critical point, and it is not easy to take two days off to come back."

With a wry smile, Lin Mu picked up the envelope, walked to the silent He Qi, rubbed her head, and said, "Anyway, it's Saturday and Sunday, so you will stay at home for two more days." ”

"Then aunt, uncle, I'll go first!"

'September 16, 2017'

Walking on the deserted street, looking at the time on his phone, he sighed in his heart. It's not that you don't want to spend more time at home, but it's ...... Pressed for time.

The wanted warrant for the Inquisition has been revoked, and he has been reinstated as a Knight Trainee. Although some preparations have been made to avoid being discovered, it is okay for a day or two, and if it disappears for too long, it will still attract the attention of those who are interested.

Plans need to be made slowly, not in one fell swoop. When the time comes, he tries to avoid exposing himself too much to those who are dangerous.

For this reason, he plans to return to that world tomorrow with old Carl. But before leaving, he had to prepare something special.

Reaching into his pocket, he took out his phone and opened the address book, and after a few moments, he found the phone number he needed.

"Dut...... Toot ......"

About ten seconds later, the phone was connected, but the other end was silent for a long time before he said in a tired voice: "Mr. Lin, I remember that you seem to have said that there should be no more intersection between us." ”

Hearing the other party's words, Lin Mu did not have the slightest surprise in his heart. It's human nature to avoid trouble, but in order to make our own two worlds of companies run as quickly as possible...... He had no choice but to break his promise.

"Mr. Xia, tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, at the restaurant on the first floor of the Yihai Hotel, I will wait for you for ten minutes."

"I ......"

Xia Liangcai on the other end was about to speak, but Lin Mu hung up the phone directly. He didn't give the other person a chance to speak, and that's because...... The other party will find an excuse to refuse to go to the appointment.

For this reason, he can only use small means such as psychological tactics.

"Let's just run back!"

Turning to the crowd in front of the bus, he shook his head and walked towards the outside of the county.
