Chapter 227: An Unexpected Response
If no one told Mr. Lin the purpose of my visit, I think Mr. Lin probably didn't know what I was here for, so he was able to say polite words to me so lightly.
But after all, it's only temporary, because if I don't tell him one moment, he'll always know the next moment, after all, I'm here for this today.
Regarding my surprise visit with Qin Han, Mr. Lin did not kick us out, but warmly beckoned us to sit down.
He asked the secretary to pour us tea, and when the office was closed, the three of us were left sitting in it.
Mr. Lin's gaze slowly drifted over my legs from pretending to be indifferent, and then asked me unhurriedly, "Is Mr. Chen's leg injury all healed?" ”
"It turns out that Mr. Lin, you also know about this matter, and now there is no big problem, please don't worry about me, otherwise I won't be able to come to you today."
Mr. Lin waved his hand, with an indifferent attitude, "It's not that I'm very worried, it's just that Mr. Chen, your injury is indeed very serious, and many people know it." ”
"It's just that the company has been too busy for the past two months, so I haven't been able to visit you. But Lin Xiangtian, this kid shouldn't have seen you less, so I think he made up for me. ”
While speaking, since he had finished greeting me, Mr. Lin still turned his gaze to Qin Han. Compared with me, of course, Qin Han is more important to Mr. Lin, and I understand this very well.
"I don't know what happened to Mr. Qin here today, you won't come here by yourself easily, is there something wrong with our cooperation?"
Qin Han shook his head at Mr. Lin, he denied what Mr. Lin said to him, but turned his gaze to me beside him, "There is no problem with the cooperation between JL and your company, and it is going well." I'm here today to accompany Chen, so I don't have any problems. ”
As soon as he heard that Qin Han was accompanying me, even if Mr. Lin didn't want to deal with me anymore, he could only turn his gaze to me again, looking at me with doubtful and somewhat impatient eyes.
"Mr. Chen?" Mr. Lin knew that I was a troublesome person, so if it wasn't necessary, he probably really didn't want to deal with me, "Then Mr. Chen wants to ask me for help with something?" The progress between our companies should also be smooth. ”
I stood up and bowed slightly to Mr. Lin opposite. At the same time, I also told him the purpose of my visit, "Today, I am not looking for Mr. Lin for business matters, and it can also be said that there is no benefit at all, but it is just to delay Mr. Lin for some time." ”
"What's important, Mr. Chen, you just said it, it's really a waste of our two time."
Since Mr. Lin has already said so, I think if I don't speak directly, I will be a little disrespectful to him, "I want to ask Mr. Lin, do you and my father know each other?" ”
When I asked this sentence, Mr. Lin, who was still impatient on his face, was surprised for a while, and he looked at me in disbelief, obviously not expecting me to ask him this question.
But Jiang is still old and spicy after all, not to mention that since Mr. Lin has been able to hide it from me for so long, it means that he has already had a rough idea that I may know the truth.
Today was just a sudden, so he didn't control his emotions for a while, but he quickly returned to his composure and whispered to me.
"Mr. Chen, why did you suddenly ask about this matter?"
"You don't need to know why I asked you this all of a sudden, if it wasn't for the fact that I was in the hospital, I would have asked you a month ago. Mr. Lin, you just need to answer me, you do know my father, right? ”
"Yes, that's right. I do know your father, but does it have anything to do with our cooperation? ”
Mr. Lin opened his mouth and asked me, and I just smiled and shook my head, "Of course, this has nothing to do with the cooperation between us, but since Mr. Lin knows my father, why have you never told me for so long?" ”
"Since you already know that I know your father, then you should also know that there are many people besides me who also know your father, so why do they ...... Didn't tell you about it either? ”
Mr. Lin was able to answer my questions fluently, and even made me feel that he had made all the preparations in advance.
But judging from Mr. Lin's surprised expression at the beginning, these should have just been improvised by him, and there was no part to deceive me.
At the same time, what Mr. Lin said also made it difficult for me to respond, after all, what he said was not wrong, and others probably knew about it, but no one told me, just like him.
Just when I was confused and confused, and I didn't know what to do next, Qin Han beside me opened his mouth easily, "That's why Chen Ci came here today, and I want Mr. Lin to get an answer." ”
Mr. Lin listened to Qin Han's words, he fell silent for a while, and looked up at me with some hesitation. In the end, he just sighed helplessly and nodded in agreement.
"Well, even so, I know your father, but it has nothing to do with you, I just don't want to tell you. Other than that, do you have any questions? ”
"It's Mr. Lin's own freedom to tell me or not, I just want to ask, if you don't want to say, then I won't continue to ask."
"It's just that if you can, I hope Mr. Lin can tell me the truth, what is the truth about my father who was wrongfully embezzled public funds?"
Everyone avoids talking about this problem when they are faced with it, so when I opened my mouth to Mr. Lin, I expected that he might not respond to me.
But Mr. Lin just looked at me in surprise, and then he slowly lowered his head, as if he was pondering something, and spoke slowly at first.
"I don't know the truth about that year, to be honest, although the relationship between me and your father is very good, it is not good enough to put everything in my heart."
"After all, he and I run two different companies, and although we have business dealings, not everything overlaps, so I was shocked to find out that he was embezzling public funds."
"I know you're asking me about this today. It's probably because you suspect that I may have something to do with your father's tragic death in prison for embezzlement, and if so, I can only tell you that you have found the wrong person. ”
Mr. Lin said to me one after another, without explaining the truth of the matter, because he didn't know either, and at the same time told me that the whole thing had nothing to do with him.
To be honest, when he said that his relationship with my father did not reach the point of putting his heart into his heart, I was a little reluctant to believe it, I always felt that Mr. Lin was hiding something from me, but he just didn't want to speak.
Don't say it's me, even Qin Han, who has been sitting on the side and has been silent, listening to the conversation between the two of us, vaguely feels that something doesn't seem to be right.
"Mr. Lin, is what you said to Chen Ci true?" What Qin Han said was just a short sentence, but it stirred up a thousand waves with one blow.
"According to my investigation, you had a very good relationship with Chen Ci's father, and when he was in prison, you even wanted to help him prosecute, but in the end, you didn't know why you gave up."
After listening to Mr. Lin's words, my heart was close to a dead silence.
But who would have thought that Qin Han would suddenly blurt out such an important news, which made Mr. Lin's face a little unbearable for a while, and he couldn't maintain his previous calm mood.
So the hope that had long disappeared rose again, and I didn't give up looking at Mr. Lin, I must let him give a reasonable explanation.
"Mr. Lin, what does Qin Han mean by this? What do you mean when you wanted to sue my father, but in the end it didn't happen? ”
After being exposed by Qin Han for a while, Mr. Lin's face was a little unpleasant, but he didn't avoid my question, just nodded at me to admit it.
"I'm right, I did want to file a lawsuit for your father after he was in prison, because I always thought it was too strange, but in the end I chose to give up."
"If you already feel that something is wrong, why did you choose to give up?"
For a while, I had some difficulty controlling my emotions, after all, this clue was too rare, and I didn't understand why Mr. Lin did this, maybe he filed a lawsuit in the first place, and my father might not have died tragically in prison later.
I suddenly felt terrified of this terrible idea of myself, obviously all this had nothing to do with Mr. Lin, but I unknowingly imposed the mistake on him.
But fortunately, Mr. Lin didn't bother with me because of this matter, he just looked at me very calmly and said something unbelievable to me.
"I really wanted to file a lawsuit, but your father asked me not to do this, and he didn't want me to investigate this matter."
"How is this possible!"
At this moment, everything Mr. Lin said seemed like a lie to me. If my father was wronged, how could he not agree if someone was willing to file a lawsuit on his behalf?
"When a person knows that he has been wronged, if you are willing to help him, how can he not accept your help?"
Mr. Lin heard that there was a question in my words, so he raised his head slightly, and stared at me calmly and indifferently with a pair of eyes.
"Chen Ci, I know this matter may be a little difficult for you to accept, but I am not half a lie."
"It is true that your father told me that he did not need me to file a lawsuit, and I thought that the person was lying, but when I asked your father myself, he gave the same answer."
Mr. Lin stretched out his hand to me very helplessly, he probably understood what my mood was at this time, so he didn't embarrass me too much because of this.
"Sometimes, that's the way it is. Even if you don't want to accept it, it's just in front of you, and you can't change it. ”
