"You failed?"
The owner of the bookstore sat up straight and looked steadily at Ji Zhixu, his tone seeming to be reproachful.
Ji Zhixu took a deep breath and nodded. She whispered with some anger and disappointment, "Yes, I failed … He escaped and we don't know where he went. I've already sent people to search, but there are no clues."
Lin Jie frowned, feeling that things were getting serious.
He had specifically gone online to look up Ji Bonong and his Luo Er Resource Development Company these past few days.
Lin Jie had only heard a little about this company before. He knew that it was a large company that monopolized the resource development of downtown in Nuo Jin. It also had a few chain brands of various by-products.
For example, it had jewelry and cosmetics brands brought about by the development of mineral resources, as well as various food brands brought about by the development of biology. It had a very large production chain and factory.
After checking, he found out that this company seemed to have an inseparable relationship with the central management of Nuo Jin. It had a very deep background. Not only did it monopolize the resource development of downtown, but it also had the sole right to recruit people in downtown Nuo Jin.
Apart from this company, any contact with people in downtown was explicitly prohibited. Those who committed serious crimes could be sentenced to life imprisonment, and their families would be banished by the followers of the Church of Pestilence.
This showed the uniqueness of the Luo Er Resource Development Company.
As Ji Bonong's only daughter, Ji Zhixu was undoubtedly a noble and elegant young lady. Remember this in a second: http://m.9biquge.com
This kind of woman with extremely high wealth and status, with countless suitors, was actually deceived to this extent by a scumbag. She definitely didn't look like a weak person who could be bullied.
Then, it could only be said that the other party's level was too high, and it must have been premeditated. It could even be a crime committed by a gang. That was why Ji Zhixu's revenge failed and she couldn't find the other party's whereabouts.
Yes, it was a crime.
In Lin Jie's opinion, this kind of scumbag who cheated money and women was an out-and-out swindler. In fact, it was even worse than a normal swindler!
He relaxed his expression, poured a cup of tea for the other party, and pushed it over. "Don't be anxious. Calm down. Tell me first, what did you do to him a few days ago?"
The other party was obviously frustrated, anxious, and doubtful of him. At this time, it was not suitable to use a strict and tough attitude like last time.
Last time, there was a sense of "coercion", which made the other party quickly establish the determination to take revenge.
This time, it was time to calm them down.
Since this "he" had escaped, it meant that Ji Zhixu's revenge had been carried out and had achieved great success. It was just that the other party had escaped in the end.
However, this incompleteness caused Ji Zhixu's determination, which had been forced to establish, to be somewhat unstable.
However, there was no need to worry too much about this. With the influence of the other party's family, it was unlikely that they couldn't even find a single person. The current situation was obviously temporary.
Now, Ji Zhixu had once again come to him for psychological comfort. It was as if she was desperate and desperate.
But on the other hand, it was a good thing.
This meant that the other party had developed a trust in the chicken soup he had given him last time, which was why he had come here to seek help.
As long as he did it again, this customer would be in the bag!
Lin Jie's current strategy was to make the other party recall step by step and repeat the revenge she had taken against the scumbag.
Then, he would gradually walk out of the frustration of the other party's escape and think of his own strong side. He would strengthen that feeling of self-confidence and guide her out of her depressed mood.
When Ji Zhixu saw the owner of the bookstore frown, her heart suddenly tightened.
Oh no, he can't be disappointed in my actions this time, right?
Will he choose to change the candidate?
Panic quickly enveloped her heart. She felt even more uneasy than when she learned that He Lisi had escaped.
Fortunately, Lin Jie quickly showed his trademark smile again and poured her a cup of tea like last time.
She subconsciously let out a sigh of relief. This should be an expression of recognition and forgiveness, right?
Did he just want her to report her actions and let her reflect and self-reflect?
Ji Zhixu took the cup and looked down at the water. She said, "My battle with him actually only lasted for two days. Although he had a big advantage, after your guidance, I also became very strong. He was almost losing.
"Yesterday, after five hours of brutal battle, although I paid a heavy price, I successfully destroyed his base camp …"
"However, it wasn't until then that I realized that he should have known that he was no match for me, so he abandoned his partner and ran away. Now, it seems that I underestimated him too much. The fact that things went so smoothly was an abnormal warning."
She raised her head in shame. "Sorry, Mr. Lin. I was too complacent."
"No, it's fine. It's not your fault."
Lin Jie maintained his smile, but the corners of his mouth twitched. He took a sip of tea to hide it.
Why did he feel that … something was wrong?!
However, it was said that love was like a business, and business was like a battlefield.
Then, let's make an equivalent exchange.
Love was like a battlefield.
This young lady was probably used to using some business terms, so her description sounded strange … Perhaps.
Ha, hahahaha.
Moreover, that Rui En had called her "Boss" just now. It could be seen that this young lady was most likely one of those gangster addicts who had an outburst of chuunibyou syndrome.
Children from rich families seemed to be prone to this kind of problem.
Hmm … this way, it was easier to explain.
What she meant was that she and that scumbag had been dealing with each other for three days. It could have been verbal, or it could have been legal, or it could even have been a bloody process.
The scumbag had his own accomplices. They could be his wingmen or plastic girlfriends. Back then, he had used this to trick Ji Zhixu. Now that they were on the same side, Ji Zhixu's revenge made him lose his temper.
But in the end, Ji Zhixu realized that this cunning scumbag had already found an escape route for himself.
He abandoned the rook to save the king! He threw out his accomplice to attract the enemy's attention and then ran away himself!
So that's how it was …
Lin Jie nodded. He calmly and confidently cleared his throat and said, "If that's the case, I completely understand."
Ji Zhixu was delighted. She controlled her expression and cautiously said, "Do you have any thoughts?"
While the two were talking.
Rui En stood to the side. He was somewhat idle. He habitually used the corner of his eyes to size up the bookstore.
This was his occupational disease.
He used to be an information dealer. After he became a hunter, he specialized in providing information to the leader of the White Wolves, He Lisi.
Although he wasn't good at fighting, in terms of information, he was a professional who had connections and informants in the Truth Society!
Even if he succumbed to force and acted very vile and flattering.
But from the perspective of his heart, he had his own pride.
There was almost nothing in Nuo Jin that he didn't know.
He even had information that was currently only circulating in a very small circle. The "Black Scale Faceless Man" Wang Erde was now in Nuo Jin!
