Chapter 72 (1/2)
No one.
The window opened a little, brushed the curtains, and there was a low cat cry outside. Lin Mubei opened the door to see. Even an old servant picked up a cat from the window. Those dark green cat eyes stared at him.
”Who owns the cat?” Lin Mubei looked around and asked.
”Master Lin, the cat is new. The master said he kept it at home to catch mice. Does it bother you?” the servant asked.
”Was there anyone here just now?”
”I didn't see it.”
Lin Mubei frowned and said, ”it's all right.”
Turning to enter the room, ye Sitong has retracted his feet and bent on the bed. The room emits a faint smell of medicine. Lin Mubei goes to the window to sew up the trace and pulls the curtain to block the night.
Ye Sitong asked, ”what's the matter?”
”Nothing.” Lin Mubei stood in front of the curtain, looked at the gap, looked out again, pressed down his doubts and said.
Go to the bed and spread the mattress: ”you're tired today. Have a rest early. If you can't walk tomorrow, you can rest at home for a few more days. It's safer here.”
”HMM.” the letter paper Lin Mubei kept something from her and still chose silence. As Lin Mubei thought, it might be better for her.
Ye Sitong lay down and soon fell asleep. Lin Mubei hugged Ye Sitong and sniffed the tip of his nose. Ye Sitong's soft fragrance and shallow breathing made him speechless all night.
”What this means is that the person we brought back last night is the main culprit of Zhao Huan with gunshot wound?” Lin Mubei shook the newspaper and raised his eyebrows: ”the time is obviously not right.”
”The certificate given by the Public Security Bureau said that the time Zhao Huan was injured was about ten minutes before we brought the man back. It's really strange. It's such a coincidence that he was dying. It's almost like someone else killed him.” Lian Ye drank a sip of tea: ”grandpa came to me this morning.”
”What did the old man say?”
”Grandpa said that the superficial Kung Fu still needs to be done. If the Zhao family has such a thing, even if they don't want to intervene again, they will certainly ask us for justice.”
Lin Mubei pondered for a moment and asked, ”is that man awake?”
”No, he's still faint. His injuries don't look like being beaten, like being lynched.” after a pause, Lian Ye looks at the sun directly ahead and continues: ”Moreover, the No. 1 leader hasn't heard anything for such a long time and doesn't appear. It seems that everyone doesn't know. In fact, it's just to see if they are willing to let the No. 1 leader out. In the past, few people in city a were willing to provoke you openly because the No. 1 leader is still for you. Now the Lin family is completely on Lin Yuxiao's side. We don't have much support in this regard After all, let's be more specific. It's the Lin family's business. ”
”I know,” said Lin Mubei. ”I'll see him.”
Lian Ye nodded: ”it's better to wake him up earlier. The Zhao family came here early this morning. My idea is the same as Grandpa's. anyway, people should be handed over, and the sooner the better. The time given by the Zhao family is before noon today. You can do it yourself.”
Lin Mubei nodded. When he saw the news, he knew that it was impossible for his family to compete with the Zhao family. The only possibility was to sacrifice the dead bodyguard.
”But does Lin Yuxiao dare to let the Zhao family check?” Lin Mubei stood up, didn't start, and said, ”his identity is not secret. He follows the head all the year round. Once the Zhao family checks, it will implicate the head...”
”What if the chief doesn't show up?” Lian Ye asks.
