Prima lowered the 'Secrets of Primal Magic Potion' that she had placed in front of her all this time, and stole a glance at Lin Jie who was continuing to read.
Andrew had been gone for a while.
Without customers, the bookstore returned to its original desolation. The atmosphere was quiet and peaceful, as if it was isolated from the world and had an indescribable calmness.
The clamor of the outside world had nothing to do with here.
The young man quietly turned a page of the book in his hand with a very focused expression. When he lowered his head slightly, he looked quite calm and scholarly, just like a very ordinary and harmless student who was still studying in an ivory tower. He didn't even look like a person who had served as a university lecturer.
Not to mention the mysterious and powerful owner of the bookstore who had taboo knowledge.
He was too young, and his temper was really good. He also knew how to take care of people …
This was not the first time Prima had thought of this.
Although she had only been in the bookstore for a few days, she could still often feel the "approachable" feeling of the owner of the bookstore.
He was as kind and amiable as a friend next door.
It would always make people think that "the owner of the bookstore is really an ordinary person". Remember the URL: m.9biquge.com.
However, when her gaze shifted to the fat white cat beside the young man and the ring on his finger, that kind of thought would vanish in an instant.
"What's more … Even the vice president of the Truth Society that my sister often mentioned, a very powerful big shot, personally came to visit Boss Lin and even apologized to him."
Prima recalled the scene she had seen before and couldn't help but shiver.
Andrew was like that, as if he was possessed by something invisible … That book, there must be a big problem.
Just like the book in her hand, not only did it have an introduction to all kinds of medicinal herbs, it also sealed some almost extinct magic herbs.
Those medicinal herbs were "growing" and "living" in the book, and even had their own consciousness.
Every book in the bookstore was extraordinary.
So how could the owner of the bookstore be ordinary?
"And that silver box can't be wrong. It's the legendary 'clockwheel worm' of Vice President Andrew's family. He actually gave such an important treasure of his family to Boss Lin as a gift. It seems that he must have done something to offend Boss Lin …"
"Think about it from another perspective. Since Vice President Andrew apologized with such an important thing, it must be because if he can't be forgiven, his entire family will encounter something more terrible than losing the clockwheel worm."
"… Thinking about it this way, it seems that Boss Lin is the bad guy."
"… Wait, could it be, it can't be?"
The girl, who was thinking nonsense, suddenly became sluggish. She felt that she seemed to have touched upon an obvious fact.
If Boss Lin was the villain, then the things that she couldn't understand before seemed to make sense now.
Prima looked at Lin Jie cautiously. There was only a faint voice left in her heart that wanted to convince herself that he was actually a good person. It was just that his methods were a little … special.
Maybe the cat was just ugly, and the abnormality on Andrew was just an illusion. It was normal that the books in the bookstore were a little strange as Transcendent items.
Noticing Prima's gaze, Lin Jie raised his head and asked in confusion, "What's the matter, Miss? Little classmate Prima. "
He gently closed the book. When he flipped through the book, his hand movements were very gentle. He always read books gently, which was the basic respect for knowledge.
But if it was a book that was a commodity, he might be a little bit rough.
Prima hurriedly shook her head and waved her hands, saying, "Nothing, nothing. I just miss my sister …"
"I see."
Lin Jie put the book aside and nodded. Then he said helplessly, "I just asked Andrew to help me. It's impossible to make Zerom admit his guilt immediately. I understand that you're anxious. After all, your sister's situation may be very dangerous, and she may have been killed."
"But you have to understand that it's useless to be anxious right now. Instead, it will mess up your emotions and affect your recovery. What you need to do is to be calm and wait. Let yourself face the enemies you hate with your strongest appearance. Only then will you be able to strike them hard."
"Do you understand?"
Lin Jie said patiently. Seeing Prima nodding her head like a chicken pecking rice, he showed her a very reliable and gentle smile, saying, "I asked Andrew to call me as soon as he has any news. You can rest and recover first. If there's any situation, I'll inform you as soon as possible. Don't worry."
Prima felt warm in her heart. She nodded and said, "Thank you."
Although Mr. Lin's methods were a little strange, he was definitely not a terrible person. After all, he had a deep relationship with Ms. Wapu. He must be a kind person!
She clenched her small fists and was very determined in her heart.
"You're welcome. It's my personal wish to help the world become gentler and kinder."
Lin Jie said with a smile.
Prima, who was originally a weak and timid girl, even had the impulse to protect him at this moment.
She knew that he was very powerful, but she really, really wanted to protect this smile!
Such a kind-hearted Boss Lin must have a sincere heart, but this world is always so cruel ….
She wanted to become stronger. She wanted to be like Mr. Lin and fulfill this small wish!
Prima made up her mind.
While she was immersed in her dream, Mr. Lin's communication device suddenly rang.
Lin Jie took it out and saw Andrew's name on the screen. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Speak of the devil. It seems that there's progress."
Prima jumped to the counter. She was eager to know how her sister was doing.
Mr. Lin asked Andrew to bring Zerom here. She didn't know whether it was going well or not. What was her sister's situation now?
Lin Jie looked at Prima's eager face and shook his head. He simply handed over the communication device in his hand and said, "Ask him yourself."
Prima took it nervously. She took a deep breath and pressed the answer button. Then she put the phone next to her ear.
In the communication device, Andrew's voice was trembling. "Mr. Lin … Zerom is dead! He died in his office for no reason. His neck was broken, and his brain, organs, bones, flesh, and blood were all dug out. All that was left was his skin. His expression was as if he had seen something terrible. He was filled with fear and hysteria. "
"Only a piece of Philosopher's Stone of almost perfect quality was left beside him."
His voice was trembling more and more. It seemed that he took a few deep breaths before he said, "I remember your order … I, I will bring 'him' to you."
Lin Jie's words echoed in Prima's ears.
"It's impossible for Zerom to plead guilty and be executed immediately —"
The girl's eyes were dull.
It was indeed impossible for him to plead guilty and be executed.
But he could die immediately.
