"Hi, Boss Lin." Yue Sefu tried his best to smile, so that he wouldn't look so pathetic.
Lin Jie was dumbfounded, then said in surprise, "Your injury is really not light … It's much more serious than I thought."
Although he knew that Yue Sefu was on a mission at the Miyi Tower, Lin Jie didn't expect the mission to be so dangerous that it could injure Yue Sefu to this extent.
Yue Sefu smiled bitterly … I've really disappointed Boss Lin. Boss Lin predicted my failure, but I didn't expect it to be to this extent.
"Is it a mission from the Miyi Tower? How could it be to this extent?" Boss Lin calmed himself down and took off his umbrella and coat, handing them to Mo En. Mo En took the clothes and hung them in the room, then retreated into the darkness.
Little White seemed to have not seen Lin Jie for a long time, and hurriedly went up to rub against Lin Jie. Lin Jie gently patted its head.
A mission from the Miyi Tower … Yue Sefu sighed inwardly. From a certain perspective, it was indeed a mission from the Miyi Tower that had reduced him to this state.
Yue Sefu sighed. Although Lin Jie had already reminded him, he still wasn't used to directing his resentment at the Miyi Tower. Thus, he said, "It was Wang Erde. I had a big battle with him. My injury is all thanks to him."
Lin Jie frowned. This finally confirmed what he had been thinking all along … Wang Erde had indeed gone down the wrong path.
Lin Jie couldn't help but sigh. He didn't know how Wang Erde was doing now. Perhaps he would have to give him a few more bowls of chicken soup to get him back on the right path. All of a sudden, he had more responsibilities on his shoulders.
But how could a lonely old man like Wang Erde defeat a burly man like Yue Sefu … Oh, right, Wang Erde even had a dog. Tsk, could it be that Wang Erde controlled his dog to commit the crime …?
He looked at Yue Sefu with sympathy.
Yue Sefu lowered his head in shame, as if he was a student who had done something wrong.
"Since you're already here, just stay here and recuperate." Lin Jie said generously. He then turned to Moen and said, "Let's clean up the basement together. We can't always stay in the bookstore. It's not good to rest here."
Mo En paused for a moment and thought about the situation in the basement. But he immediately nodded and said, "Okay, Boss Lin."
Lin Jie pushed open the door of the basement. There was nothing in this basement except for some sundries and the Ancient Dragon Fossil given by Cherry. Moreover, it was tidied up by Moen.
Mo En pushed Yue Sefu into the dark basement. The moment he stepped in, Yue Sefu froze.
He subconsciously looked at the expressionless Mo En and Lin Jie, who was looking at the basement with his hands on his hips. Both of them looked natural, as if they were facing an ordinary room.
But as soon as he stepped in, Yue Sefu felt traces of aether as vast as the ocean. They were almost everywhere, and they were just traces of aether. It was hard to imagine how powerful the aether used to be here …
Yue Sefu trembled. Such powerful aether seemed to suffocate him.
Mo En supported Yue Sefu and let him sit on a chair.
Yue Sefu, who had stepped into the level of God, could perceive the world very differently. He could recall in his mind that there used to be a lot of aether here. That massive amount of aether could easily kill him.
Yue Sefu didn't dare to move. He slowly sat on the chair and accidentally bumped into the table next to the chair.
Hiss —
He felt a chill in his heart. The moment he bumped into the table, Yue Sefu seemed to hear an ancient dragon filled with the aura of disaster roaring at the sky. His roar seemed to be filled with unwillingness and anger. His angry roar was accompanied by a strong hurricane that directly hit his face …
Yue Sefu opened his eyes wide … This small basement seemed to have once trapped a giant dragon.
If it was just an ordinary person, they would probably have been driven crazy by the powerful mystery …
Yue Sefu panted slightly and steadied himself. Once again, he faced the power of the bookstore owner head-on. The more fearful he was, the clearer he felt that he was just an ant in his hands. He could be crushed to death at any time. The more he felt, the more he would gladly endure the alms he threw at him.
Lin Jie blinked and looked at Yue Sefu's pale face in confusion. Lin Jie then sped up his movements and pushed the old bed away.
"Then what's the situation now? Of course, you can stay here for as long as you want. But don't you need to go back and report? After all, this is a mission from the Miyi Tower … "
Yue Sefu lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time. No one could tell what he was thinking. Every time Lin Jie mentioned the Miyi Tower, his heart felt like it was being repeatedly roasted on a chopping board.
Lin Jie looked at Yue Sefu helplessly and asked seriously, "Since it's a mission from the Miyi Tower, there should be insurance, housing, and compensation for work-related injuries, right?"
Any normal company would have something like this. Furthermore, the Miyie Tower looked like a national organization, so it should have a more complete set of things. Could it be that Joseph was so honest that he didn't even ask about something like this? Could it be that he didn't even sign a contract?
"Ah?" Yue Sefu seemed to have never heard of this term. He then answered subconsciously, "No, no."
Lin Jie straightened his back in bewilderment and muttered, "What kind of black-hearted company is this? It's so inhumane. You've been cheated …"
Yue Sefu's eyes flashed when he heard this. Then, he became dejected and looked up at Lin Jie's tall back … Was he really going to tell me the truth about the Miyi Tower?
And he was so direct. Perhaps my repeated hesitation had made Boss Lin lose his patience.
"You're right. I realized it too late."
"It's not too late." Lin Jie turned to look at him and smiled. "Now you understand that they're just a cannibalistic company. Don't go there anymore."
"Yes, yes, I understand," Yue Sefu answered hurriedly.
Lin Jie pulled out the clean bed in one go. Then, he patted the dust off his hands and continued, "Do you have any plans for the future?"
Yue Sefu found it hard to endure facing Lin Jie's question. Actually, he was also very confused and wanted to get an answer from Lin Jie. However, Lin Jie clearly wanted him to face this question directly. He even said that this question might be Boss Lin's test for him.
"… I still need to think about it." Yue Sefu said. Then, he naturally thought of Melissa, the person he cared about the most in this world. "Perhaps this is the chance. I want Melissa to be completely independent. Most importantly, I'm still alive. Perhaps I'm Melissa's biggest obstacle."
If the Miyi Tower knew that he was still alive, Melissa might be implicated … Yue Sefu clenched his fist and fell silent.
Lin Jie blinked. He didn't understand what Yue Sefu was talking about.
It can't be. Would there really be people who would fake their own death to let their children grow up?
Lin Jie couldn't keep up with Yue Sefu's train of thought. However, this father and daughter pair seemed to be very awkward. It wasn't good for him to interfere with other people's way of life, so he nodded.
What an awkward pair of father and daughter …
Yue Sefu saw Lin Jie nodding and was moved.
Seems like I didn't answer wrongly. I answered Boss Lin's question correctly. However, I also verified that if the Miyi Tower knew that I was still alive, they might really use me to control Melissa …
If everything before was just a guess, Lin Jie's affirmation made him completely disheartened.
The Miyi Tower … why did they force me to this extent?
"You can rest here peacefully." Lin Jie hesitated for a moment before saying. Then, he waved his hand at Mo En. The Goddess of the Night humbly followed behind him.
Kacha.
The door was gently closed. The remaining light was taken away. Yue Sefu fell into complete darkness.
