Terrorist attacks

Lin Xin stayed at home for a day, reading documents, writing plans, and checking his phone every time he drank a sip of water. He received countless messy text messages and several irrelevant calls, but the one he wanted to wait for never came.

Before going to bed, I made a special effort to check whether the battery of my mobile phone was sufficient, and put it carefully by the pillow before I wrapped up the quilt tightly and went to sleep.

As a result, the next morning, when the sky was slightly bright, he turned over with sleepy eyes, remembered the phone, sat up in shock, reached out to touch the phone, and looked at it for a long time, but there was no missed call.

He walked to the bathroom and took a quick wash. It was still early, but he didn't have much appetite, so he ate a few mouthfuls, and then drove to the law firm.

After getting busy in the morning, many things were left behind. It was time for lunch. Lin Xin dragged on for a long time to finish the last thing on hand before going to the restaurant downstairs.As a result, my stomach felt uncomfortable. After I came back, I lay down on the desk for a long time, and my head was still sweating.

In the end, I couldn't stand it anymore, swallowed a few pills, and drove home.

When passing by Qiao Yisheng's apartment on the way, his chest felt even more uncomfortable.

He looked up unconsciously. It was too high, and the view from the car window was limited. He tried his best to look up, but he couldn't see a few floors.

Lin Xin stomped on the gas pedal in one breath, and only took a breath when he got home.

He had a mild stomach problem. At that time, he was abroad. After all, it was not as good as at home. The food and diet were unreasonable, and he was not used to it. There was something wrong with his stomach, and it has continued to this day.Fortunately, he also has his own method. Every time his stomach feels uncomfortable, he will go home and make some food, fill his stomach, not too full or too empty, then lie on the bed, relax and rest, and keep it within half an hour.

This time Lin Xin did the same. After tossing and tossing for a long time, it didn't get better. She still had a faint pain. She silently hugged the quilt and rolled around a few times, calmed down, and passed every second. Thinking about it, she took a taxi to the hospital.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Xin opened his eyes again and looked at his watch. At 3:[-] in the morning, he realized that he had passed out from pain.

It's fine now, but my stomach is empty. Lin Xin thought about it, afraid that his stomach would be irritated again, so he didn't dare to eat. This hunger is tolerable, so let's sleep in the middle of the night.Closing his eyes, he lost consciousness again.

For a week in a row, Lin Xin lost his composure a little in the first two days, and was in a daze for eating, sleeping and working in the next few days, without any delay.

Half a month later, another overseas call came:

"Lawyer Lin, I thought you were quite sure. It's been half a month. How is the progress?"

Lin Xin smiled at him:

"You know, why ask me."

The other party sighed:

"Things in this world are not perfect. You really didn't need to do everything last time. When Qiao Yisheng cared about you, it didn't matter how much he pampered you. He didn't care anymore. You are lucky to be able to talk to me like this."

Lin Xin nodded:

"Please take care of me, I understand that."

"Do you know why I'm looking for you?"

"..."

"Originally, I was bound to win, but now it seems that the situation is not very optimistic, and it is far from achieving the effect I want."

Lin Xin was silent for a moment before saying:

"Don't worry, if he doesn't come to me, I will naturally go to him."

For Qiao Yisheng, for the first time, Lin Xin felt that this was a person who was quite far away from him, with a faint sense of alienation standing abruptly between the two of them.

If it weren't for the current phone call and the idyllic landscape paintings hanging on the wall, Lin Xin would have doubted the authenticity of this person.

As soon as he hung up the phone, Su Yuan was on the line, and Lin Xin's voice on the phone showed a trace of tiredness, and he could barely hold on: "Your call is really skillful."

"Where, I've been waiting for a long time, old busy tone, it's hard to get on the wheel."

"It's rare that I can still think of me in the United States. Is it for academic exchanges or something?"

"Okay, then I won't beat around the bush, just say it straight. When you were in Hong Kong, did you sign a contract with a company under the name of the Williams family?"

Lin Xin responded to him. At that time in the United States, he was fooled by Qiao Yisheng. He signed a cooperation project with the Hong Kong branch without carefully reading the documents. He regretted it for more than half a year.

"Now our company wants to cooperate with them in Europe. My boss insists on it, but they have a high threshold and look down on us. The two sides have been arguing, and the old tweeter said that the big boss is not there, so we can't make a decision. I came back a few days ago. Isn’t the boss really in a hurry, let me ask around. I also know that each industry has its own rules, and we can’t let it go because of our personal friendship. You can just say what you can, so that I can communicate with you.”

Lin Xin finally realized that Qiao Yisheng had returned to the United States long ago.

Lin Xin hung up the phone, never feeling confident in his heart, but at this moment he became more sober.

He continued to sit back at the table, busy with the documents all afternoon, only drank a few sips of water, and looked into the distance for a while as a rest.

When I got home, I deliberately made a detour and bought two steamed crucian carp and put them together with the egg white. It didn't really whet my appetite, but it was really fragrant, and I thought it was beautiful.If Qiao Yisheng hadn't met, life would have gone on like this.

The dinner was pretty good, my stomach was warm and soft today, and I finally didn't get angry anymore.

Lin Xin took a shower, changed into cotton pajamas, was extremely comfortable, and lay on the bed with his head tilted, thinking about his thoughts.

He took out the passport for a long time, rubbed it back and forth in his hand, and smiled:

Is it possible to chase after the past.

With the passport covered on his head, he fell asleep without knowing it.When I wake up again, I look at my watch, and the hesitation is only a moment.

When he arrived at Qiao Yisheng's suburban villa, Lin Xin was still tentatively putting his hand on his heart. His heartbeat was steady, and he knew exactly what he was doing.

And objectively speaking, there is no retreat at all.

Lin Xin got out of the car, walked to the main entrance of the villa for a long time, subconsciously looked inside, there was no one there, only a few familiar faces, standing in the garden, also looked at him, walked over for a long time, and asked: "Sir, what do you do?"

Lin Xin and Qiao Yisheng had been together a few times, and he himself felt uneasy about such a relationship, and being asked in such a formulaic manner would save him from embarrassment.

He smiled and nodded:

"Is Mr. Williams there?"

The gatekeeper shook his head and looked at him with a scrutiny:

"No, haven't you contacted him? He went back to the United States last week."

Lin Xin felt uncomfortable being stared at, so he had to make an excuse:

"It was my negligence." He asked again:

"Do you know when he'll be back?"

The gatekeeper is almost dumbfounded:

"Sir, I'm done with my work here. Of course I'm going back to China, and what to do here. But this garden is not in a hurry to sell, and we old guys will keep it in charge. Who knows, maybe one day, on a whim, I will come to live for a few more days. It's hard to tell."

Lin Xin took a closer look, the villa was indeed not as lively as before, with far fewer people, and no matter how beautiful it was, it couldn't conceal a decadent atmosphere.

It seems that in the movie, the sparsely populated Sandburg in the Middle Ages becomes more and more terrifying the more you look at it.

Lin Xin thought, Qiao Yisheng probably won't come back if he doesn't leave a way out.

The face of this house gradually became blurred, as if he had never stayed here before, together with Qiao Yisheng, it became more and more ethereal.

It wouldn't be bad if he hadn't experienced this person before.

But the world cannot be changed. Now that we have encountered some bitter fruit, we have to taste it.

Lin Xin has always only had a vague impression of numerology, he is not very ambitious, he just let things take their course and try his best.

Being coerced by others, an innocent disaster, but he was particularly twisted, with a meaning of "I can't help others" in it.

Early the next morning, he bought a plane ticket. He was in the waiting room and was about to board the plane. He sent a text message to Lin Yuan: "The company has something to do, go to the United States and tell my parents. The return date is uncertain." Then it was closed. Machine, close your eyes and rest.

Lin Xin arrived in California in the evening, and Su Yuan came to pick him up:

"You really are an activist. You just made a phone call the day before yesterday, and you are here to supervise yourself today?"

Lin Xin laughed:

"Your face is so big, big pie face, it takes a long time to chew on one bite."

Su Yuan took advantage of the situation to scold, but was blocked by Lin Xin, so he could only ask:

"Then why are you here? You won't go on a blind date with a foreign girl."

Lin Xin didn't know why, but thought of a mixed race, and went around to Qiao Yisheng's head again. He was as good-looking as he was. I had never seen a second one, so he laughed: "Of course not. In fact, the last time I worked with Williams , There is still a sum of money owed, I am in debt, a lesson learned from the past, go home and tell your boss, a living example, if it doesn’t work, let’s explain it yourself, there is no profit for a small profit, if you get stuck, you can’t pull it out, see Look at me, I still have to post back to others."

Su Yuan disdained:

"Come on, it's fine if you don't want to say it, you and I still need to play tricks?"

Lin Xin couldn't be more serious:

"Everything I said is true, why don't you believe it?" Su Yuan was so stimulated that he could only turn his head: "Where do you live? I'll take you there."

"It was a temporary idea. The hotel has not yet been decided, but one or two have been doing business, so it can be considered."

"Come on, let's make do with my small apartment for a while, don't worry, my girlfriend just returned to Chicago yesterday, and we brothers are very free."
