"You, you, you, you … Why, why are you here?!"
The boy with freckles looked at Lin Jie who was about to open the door in horror. He jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, or a cat who saw a cucumber. He stammered as he stepped back. Cold sweat started to form on his forehead at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He subconsciously reached for his weapon, but in this situation where he was caught off guard, there was no way he would bring a weapon with him. His hand grabbed nothing but air.
It's over!
Ge Leige felt his vision go black, and he fell into despair.
A few months ago, he turned into a black cat to investigate the situation in the bookstore. But on that dark rainy night, he witnessed his idol, Yue Sefu, being effortlessly taken down by someone. The terrifying encounter seemed to have turned into a shadow that surrounded him again. The scene at that time was still vivid in his mind.
How could this terrifying demon appear at the banquet of Rohr Resources? Didn't the intelligence say that he rarely came out of the bookstore?
Was he going to lose his life here today?
No, no, he hadn't become Lord Yue Sefu's official disciple yet. How could he fall here?!
The young Magus gritted his teeth. He couldn't give up just yet. Although there seemed to be a normal human beside him, he couldn't care less at this point. He had already scouted out the layout of the manor. There were three ventilation vents in this corridor, and the nearest one was at the corner ten metres away. As long as he could rush there as fast as he could, there was still a chance to escape!
Then, he could inform Dale to prepare … Ge Leige suddenly froze. He was about to turn into a cat when he thought of this. One second to remember http://m.9biquge.com
Wait, this demon coming out of the bookstore is such a big thing. How could Dale not know?
"…?"
Lin Jie looked at the boy in front of him with a puzzled expression. It was as if he had suddenly seen a ghost. The boy retreated so quickly that he was almost pressed against the wall.
The boy's expression changed so quickly that it was complicated. It was as if he had eaten an apple and found out that there was only half a worm. He was pale and green, and his whole body was trembling like a sieve.
"This … Little friend, are you okay? You seem to be a little uncomfortable. Do you need help? "
Out of humanitarian concern, Lin Jie took two steps forward and reached out his hand to support this strange teenager who seemed to have a sudden illness and was on the verge of collapsing.
Ge Leige's pupils constricted, but he had already missed the best opportunity. He was sure that at such a close distance, it would be easy for the other party to control or kill him.
In other words, there was no use in running away. Could he only wait for death?
Ahhhh, don't come over!!!
Lin Jie placed his hand on the young man's shoulder. The latter's eyes were tightly shut, and his lips were trembling. The word "fear" was written all over his face, which made Lin Jie even more surprised.
It didn't seem like an illness. Instead, it was like seeing a ten-centimeter-long, oily cockroach pouncing on his face …
And the person she was afraid of seemed to be him?
Was he that scary?
Lin Jie shook his head inwardly. He was sure that he had always been kind and amiable to others. He definitely did not have the ferocious face that people would find frightening at first sight.
At least, it wasn't to the point where he could be compared to the American cockroach … Then, the problem definitely didn't lie with him. It could only be this strange teenager's own problem.
Could it be that this child who looked like a noble was the kind of person who had been spoiled since childhood and rarely interacted with people, so he suffered from severe social anxiety?
Lin Jie felt that his guess was somewhat reasonable.
After all, the other party had spoken very fluently into the communication device just now, but suddenly became like this … It didn't make sense if it wasn't an illness.
In that case, since he was staying in this room, it meant that he was a guest. However, he didn't see him at the ball downstairs. It turned out that he hid in his room in advance because of his social anxiety.
But based on what he heard just now, was he forced by his family to come over to socialize?
What a pitiful child.
Lin Jie showed a sympathetic expression. He let go of his hand and stepped back slightly. At the same time, he put on his warmest smile and comforted him, "Sorry, sorry. Should I help you find a doctor? Or, um … Although it sounds like I'm boasting, I'm quite experienced in dealing with this kind of situation. I can help you with a simple relaxation … "
Ge Leige felt the iron-like hand on his shoulder finally let go. Just as his tightly clenched teeth loosened a little, he heard the devil say that he wanted to help him "relax".
His heart sank. This "relaxation" definitely wasn't a good thing!
"Dealing with this kind of situation", could it be that he was being recognized somewhere or even exposed? Then what he was going to do next was obvious — he was definitely going to silence him!
Ge Leige's heart thumped. He suddenly opened his eyes wide and jumped to the side, saying loudly, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no! I'm fine, very fine! "
Lin Jie was stunned, "Are you really fine? I think … "
"There's no need at all!"
Ge Leige's expression was serious. He crossed his hands and said, "Thank you for your concern. I feel much better now."
Although he didn't know why, it seemed that the devil didn't want to kill him right away. Instead, he was warning him not to expose his identity …
Since that was the case, where there was life, there was hope. He had to save his life first. Only then could he have a chance to figure out what the devil wanted to do!
This wasn't fear. This was the professional quality of a detective!
"Really?" Lin Jie looked at him suspiciously. He found that his pale and ashen face really quickly became normal and even rosy. The worry in his heart was slightly relieved, but he still kindly added, "Your situation just now seemed very serious. If there's any problem, you must tell me honestly. Don't make fun of yourself."
Ge Leige swallowed his saliva and looked at Lin Jie's sincere eyes. "Don't make fun of yourself" … This was a threat! This must be a threat!
If he revealed Lin Jie's identity or exposed any information, this devil would definitely make a move!
He hurriedly shook his head like a rattle-drum, "I'm really fine! Just now, uh, just now I was suddenly startled by someone. It's an old problem of mine. When I'm startled by someone, my reaction is just a little too big. Haha … "
Lin Jie suddenly understood, "So that's how it is."
Phew … Ge Leige secretly wiped away his cold sweat. He finally managed to deal with it.
Fitch suddenly said gloomily from the side, "I don't think so. This kid seems to be very afraid of you, Mr. Lin. Maybe he has some ulterior motives."
“！” Ge Leige looked at the guy he had thought was an ordinary person at first, and met the latter's hostile gaze.
After his attention shifted from Lin Jie, he suddenly realized that this person was also an Extraordinaire!
And his aether waves were strangely out of place …
Lin Jie shook his head and chuckled, "How can that be? I'm so ordinary. Do you think I look scary? Don't you think so, little friend? "
He shifted his gaze to Ge Leige. The latter, who was thinking, immediately felt his hair stand on end. He nodded stiffly under Lin Jie's gaze. "Yes, yes. Not scary at all."
