Abyss of ignorance

This is not difficult to recall, it was the seemingly useless nonsense that Liu Ruohui said, about Xu Binyong's plan for Linzhou that Xu Binyong told him before his death, including opening up the traffic with Nanpu.

"Why is it Nanpu..." Lin Xiaodong felt a bit like a ghost at this moment. Is this just a coincidence or is there something else he doesn't know about Nanpu?

Indeed, there are still many doubts about the Shen family's extermination, because Xiao Lu's death came to an abrupt end.

……

Ye Mimi put her hands in her pockets and stood in front of the large French windows. At the end of summer, the rain in Linzhou was still abundant.

The lights in the office were not turned on, and the higher the level looked out, the more the rain seemed to be poured down by waves, continuously pouring on the towering skyscrapers.

Behind him, there was a knock on the door from the office. At this point, no one except Ah Ruo would miss her anymore.

It's very interesting, Mr. Ye, who is relied on by countless people during the day, becomes a person in the middle of the night.

Ah Ruo is the shadow left by Jiang Xu, because she is worried that she will bear such loneliness alone.

But it's just a shadow.

"Mr. Ye, it's almost time to go back to the Wan'an community. There will be a board meeting tomorrow morning, so you have to rest." A Ruo said with the coat prepared for her in his hand.

"Ah Ruo, such a rainy day..." Ye Mimi turned around and said to him, but suddenly stopped talking.

Ah Ruo has always been good at empathy, even if Ye Mimi didn't finish speaking, he knew that her hesitant to speak had something to do with Jiang Xu.

It was windy and rainy outside, but Jiang Xu didn't know where he was.

"Let's wait, next July [-]th will come soon." Ah Ruo said softly.

Ye Mimi didn't make a sound, and walked towards the door. When passing by A Ruo, he took the coat handed over by him, put it on with a flick of his hand, and walked towards the elevator without any hesitation.

Ah Ruo drove the car in silence for a while, and suddenly heard Ye Mimi speak behind him: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Sure enough, no subtle emotion can escape Ye Mimi, who has a keen observation.

"Actually, it's nothing. I know I shouldn't ask about your work, but you've been leaving work late recently. Did you encounter any troublesome things?" Ah Ruo said, he knew that Ye Mimi was used to solving everything by himself, but he had Jiang Xu's entrustment, and he always hoped that he could help her share something, even if it wasn't substantial, maybe some emotional value would be good.

It's just that he wasn't sure how Ye Mimi would respond to this question, and he was inexplicably nervous. He looked at Ye Mimi in the rearview mirror, and with the passing light of the street lamp, the corners of her rosy mouth slightly raised. Although it wasn't a smile, it was a look of relief.

Even Ah Ruo knew the painstaking efforts behind asking this question.

I don't know who is taking care of whose emotions. Ye Mimi explained the reason: "It is true that the promotion of the JN003 project in Europe has encountered trouble. Someone suddenly acquired the cooperative company we have negotiated, and the subsequent sales channels in Europe will be affected. The main acquisition behavior, in my opinion, cannot be understood from the logic of business. Apart from the value of business expansion for Jiangnan Pharmaceutical, this company is not an easy project for investors. I have already found out that the other party's bid is very high, and it is bound to win. .”

Ah Ruo has been with Jiang Xu for so long, and he is also an extremely smart person. He immediately understood the twists and turns, and said, "This acquisition is aimed at Jiangnan Pharmaceutical."

"Well, someone wants to stop Jiangnan Medicine from developing overseas. This symptom only appeared after Lin Zhengyang disappeared." Ye Mimi continued, "This is not a good thing, which means that the other party's actions are still related to Lin Zhengyang's affairs. Whether they are together or against each other, it casts a shadow on what Ah Xu wants to achieve."

Hearing Ye Mimi take the initiative to mention Jiang Xu, Ah Ruo dared to continue talking about him: "Ah Xu, he planned to let Lin Zhengyang stop, and both Jiangnan Medicine and Linzhou would become clearer. It seems that this is not the case. I heard that Xu Binyong died in the detention center for no apparent reason."

"Indeed, Xu Binyong explained many things about Lin Zhengyang and the Hualing Society early in the morning. If Lin Zhengyang's remnant party wanted to kill people and silence them, it shouldn't be delayed until now. Unless he has other things here, some people don't want him to let go. It seems that Lin Xiaodong is busy." Ye Mimi said.

"I thought everything would get better, but I didn't expect..." Ah Ruo said this with some frustration.

"Ah Ruo, what do you mean when you say it is better? Is it possible that there has never been a so-called better world."

"Mimi..." Ah Ruo didn't call her "Mr. Ye", "It's not like you to be so pessimistic."

"I'm not pessimistic. I'm just stating what I know. After I came back to Linzhou, I always heard people say that they want to flee the city. In fact, the more beautiful and pure the place they think, the more rotten things will take time for nature to digest. A place without people is just a natural cemetery."

……

The heavy rain went from torrential to drizzling, and finally stopped when it was approaching dawn.

In the office of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Linzhou Public Security Bureau, a desk lamp was lit from dark to dawn.

Old Liang was getting old, so he got up early. With a recycle bag and a thermos, he habitually went up to the second floor to fill a pot of hot water and take it to the file room underground.

"Yo, Xiaodong, you came earlier than me?" When he passed by Lin Xiaodong's room, he saw Lin Xiaodong lying under the desk lamp intently flipping through the documents, turned into the room, and greeted him.

With messy hair on his head, Lin Xiaodong turned his chair to face Lao Liang, his bloodshot eyes said everything.

"Have you been working all night again? You kid, you work harder than I did back then." Lao Liang said this with admiration and distress, and then his eyes fell on the cigarettes in an ashtray on Lin Xiaodong's desk, "What about Xu, what should I say, I know you have been under a lot of pressure recently, but you have to preserve your strength and fight a protracted war, right?"

"Old Liang, you came just in time, I have something to ask you!" Lin Xiaodong was inexplicably excited after extreme fatigue.

Lao Liang shook his head slightly, knowing that Lin Xiaodong didn't hear a word of what he said just now, so he put the kettle aside helplessly, pulled up a chair, and sat opposite Lin Xiaodong: "Okay, what do you want to ask?"

"It's Shen's Miemen. You said that Nanpu City asked you to help find Shen Guoming. They always send some basic information about Shen Guoming, right?"
