After the villain was reborn, he found out that he had a childhood sweetheart.

He leaned against the cold drink cabinet, staring at the small TV hanging on the wall behind the counter to watch the game. It happened to be the live basketball show at noon.

"This team can't win the championship, don't buy it."

Fu Xiujie looked in the direction of the voice and saw a burly, fierce-looking man talking to him. He looked like a common man on the street, collecting rent for shops or debt collectors active in shanty towns, but he was more energetic than those minions. He should be a small leader or something.

"What do you mean? Why can't I buy it?" he asked.

If he was young and full of energy, Fu Xiujie would definitely tell him not to meddle in other people's business. But now, he is willing to chat with passers-by who are willing to talk to him about sports, even those with completely opposite views, no matter whether it is basketball, football, volleyball, rugby, yo-yo, 3D pinball...

He has long become a dead fish without any edges.

The man grinned foolishly: "Hey, I don't understand, the boss told me."

"What does your boss...do?"

"Being the boss."

"..."

"Look, I usually buy according to my boss, and now the profit is this much."

The fierce man opened his cell phone and showed it to Fu Xiujie.

The dazzling rate of return blinded Fu Xiujie's eyes.

Just when Fu Xiujie thought that the other party was going to start promoting some not-so-legal betting platform, or pull him into a WeChat group and prepare to start the scam process, the fierce man just smiled, opened the cold drink cabinet next to him, took a can of iced Coke, paid and left.

...So it was just to show how much money he made from gambling? ?

Fu Xiujie couldn't understand.

However, his expression quickly froze.

and many more.

This is the third time I have seen this man recently.

The first time was at a convenience store near my home, and the second time was at a supermarket.

Those two times, the man did not speak to him, but just passed by him not too far away.

Fu Xiujie has a good memory, which was once a strength he was proud of. It was thanks to his excellent memory that he was admitted to the liberal arts experimental class of Beicang University.

In that era, the admission rate of Beicang University was much lower than it is now, and Fu Xiujie could be regarded as a talented young man that attracted the attention of the whole village... Now Fu Xiujie has almost forgotten his past glory. When he was tutoring students, when he was asked which school he graduated from, he would apply to a local normal college in Beicang.

Otherwise, he would only receive surprised looks. After all, among his college classmates, he was the one doing the worst.

In short, Fu Xiujie had reason to believe that the fierce man who followed his boss to buy lottery tickets seemed to be following him or conducting an investigation around him.

Why?

It's obvious that there's nothing to be gained from him.

The only possible reason was that it was related to the case at Delin Middle School that changed his life.

Thinking of this, Fu Xiujie felt a headache and nausea. He shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

Let him be.

It doesn’t matter if you want to kill us or chop us up, we’ll just have a dead life anyway… We should consider the fierce man’s suggestion carefully, what if this seemingly invincible team B really fails?

In the afternoon, there are six classes scheduled, which continue until the evening.

For dinner, I bought rice balls from a convenience store and heated them up in the microwave, and that was enough to get by.

Calm.

It was not until after get off work that Fu Xiujie discovered that his ex-girlfriend appeared at the door of the educational institution, apparently blocking him.

The lady at the front desk had a gossipy look in her eyes: "Teacher Fu, someone is looking for you. They have been waiting for you for a long time."

"..." Fu Xiujie didn't say anything, but walked out with his head down. In the dark corridor, his ex-girlfriend reached out and grabbed him.

"where are you going?"

"go home."

"Come with me tonight. The old lady wants to ask you a question."

Fu Xiujie instinctively wanted to escape, but his ex-girlfriend had practiced karate, and her great strength even hurt his arm... After meeting her cold and slightly disgusted eyes, Fu Xiujie knew that he had no way to escape tonight, so he had to obey obediently.

Soon, he followed her into her car.

On the way to Yangxin Pavilion, Fu Xiujie quietly looked at Lin Huaizhi.

She has a graceful demeanor and exquisite makeup. At a young age, she has become the assistant principal of Delin Middle School... The figure in front of me is no longer the same as the girl I once knew.

The lips, painted with bright and appropriate lipstick, opened and closed lightly.

"Have you seen enough?"

"……Feel sorry."

Fu Xiujie withdrew his gaze.

Lin Huaizhi was a little annoyed, but that emotion was like the ripples caused by a pebble and soon disappeared.

If I really wanted to be angry with him, it wouldn't be now. I was angry because of a moment of confusion and shock.

The two were undergraduate students at Beicang University in the same class, and served as student union president and Youth League committee cadre of the school student union respectively.

The student organization is a mixed bag, but they all share a common temperament: they work diligently, are humble, and do not make things difficult for their classmates.

Similarly, they had less than honorable backgrounds. Fu Xiujie's parents were in prison, and he grew up with his grandfather who was a farmer in the countryside; Lin Huaizhi was a collateral descendant of the Lin family.

The term "collateral relative" is a term of high emotional intelligence. In fact, Huaizhi's grandmother was a prostitute who had a brief affair with Mr. Lin and ended up getting pregnant with Huaizhi's father.

His grandmother died early and his father was idle. Grandpa Lin felt sorry for him and provided him with a lot of money. He helped him find a job, buy a house, and raise children. No matter how big or small the matter was, he liked to ask Grandpa Lin for money.

Therefore, people within the Lin Group called them "stinking beggars."

Lin Huaizhi doesn't want to be a beggar. Since she was a child, she has hoped to prove herself that she can not only support herself but also shine more brightly.

The most direct way is to study hard, learn skills, and contribute to the Lin Group... In her heart, this can be considered a kind of feedback. If she brings enough returns to the group, then... she won't owe anything.

Putting aside the hard work he put in, he was admitted to Beicang University's top law program, received a scholarship from the foundation based on his own abilities, and even... was personally received by Old Lady Lin.

You know, even if my father went to the Lin family, he couldn't see the two elders. They were always sent away by the servants with money.

In addition, her boyfriend Fu Xiujie is also a young talent with excellent character and academic performance. As an outstanding graduate of the Department of Physics, he was specially recruited to Delin Middle School for special training... Lin Huaizhi's life seems to be smooth sailing like this.

Then that happened.

Fu Xiujie and the girl named Du Xintong had an argument in the classroom, and then the girl jumped from the fourth floor.

Later, the police found secretly taken photos of girls on Fu Xiujie's mobile phone, and found radical words in his diary at home that coveted the girls' soft bodies. They also retrieved surveillance videos and found evidence that Fu Xiujie followed a girl after evening self-study.

Fortunately, thanks to the effective actions of the security department of Delin Middle School, the news was well blocked. However, this does not mean that Fu Xiujie will easily escape punishment. It’s just that the school does not want the impact to expand.

Lin Huaizhi pleaded with the old lady and saved Fu Xiujie.

The price is that she has to sacrifice herself and become the old lady's puppet, a lackey of the Lin Group that wanders in the gray area.

"Quack!!!"

When passing the winding mountain road, a jackdaw suddenly took off from the bushes. Frightened, Lin Huaizhi subconsciously swerved the steering wheel. Seeing that the car was about to hit the guardrail, Fu Xiujie was quick to grab the steering wheel.

Finally the car stopped, and the close metal contact between the bumper and the guardrail avoided a tragic accident with the car destroyed and people killed.

149. One Thought (3000)

The car's fault lights flickered, like netherworld fire from the abyss in the dark night.

Fu Xiujie's breathing was the first to return to normal. He unbuckled his seat belt, pushed open the car door, walked around and felt that there was no big problem. Then he came outside the driver's seat and helped Huaizhi open the car door.

In comparison, Huaizhi was obviously more frightened. He shivered a few times in a trance, and was in a daze when Fu Xiujie helped him get out of the car.

When she came to her senses, she quickly shook off Fu Xiujie's arm... Ever since that incident, Huaizhi had felt a deep disgust and fear for any form of physical contact with him.

Fu Xiujie smiled awkwardly, waited for a while, walked into the driver's seat and tried to reverse the car back to the road.

"It should be fine. Come on up. I know the way. I'll drive to Yangxin Pavilion."

"..."

"You are such a fool. After all these years, you still like to swerve the steering wheel when encountering emergencies..."

"You don't need to teach me." Lin Huaizhi looked grim and said in a cold tone, "Today was an accident. I... was very upset to see you, and I was distracted."

"Ah... yeah, blame me."

Fu Xiujie started the car and it climbed steadily along the winding mountain road.

Even though it was annoying, Lin Huaizhi couldn't help but secretly observe Fu Xiujie through the middle rearview mirror.

During the years that Lin Huaizhi has been with Old Lady Lin, he has experienced many dirty and trivial things, but he has rarely participated in major scenes that truly concern life and death... In other words, there are not many people in Beicang who can pose a threat to Old Lady Lin's personal assistant.

Traffic accidents may be one of them.

The shock at that moment, the panic afterwards, and my heartbeat is still disordered until now.

In contrast, Fu Xiujie was as calm as if he had just picked up his phone to place a five-dollar bet after eating and drinking.

Yes, Lin Huaizhi knew that Fu Xiujie was gambling on football. She had always despised these pure speculators. However, right now, the person she despised the most completely defeated her when facing a crisis... and even helped her save her life!

Obviously, she is the one who has been working hard to get rid of the shadow over the years.

He felt upset, and only when the shadow of Yangxin Pavilion appeared far away in the night sky did Huaizhi stammer and whisper:

"Thank you."

"fine."

"I owe you this time..."

Fu Xiujie shook his head and sighed to interrupt Huaizhi's words. He stared intently at the road in front of him, stretched out his hand and waved it vigorously in the air, looking very reluctant to accept thanks.

He did resist.

It would be good for Huaizhi to stay the way she is now, be her assistant peacefully and live a comfortable life.

It’s best to marry a reliable man.

As for Fu Xiujie, he had already decided to take on everything when he started the show. The resentment in his heart had long been wiped out, so naturally he didn't need any thanks.

Huaizhi still has the same strong self-esteem as before, but Fu Xiujie's spine is broken, so, under the guidance of the Lin family's servants, Fu Xiujie parked the car and took the initiative to communicate with the housekeeper.

When he came back, he said with a joking face, "I said I broke the car and got beaten up. Don't tell the old lady about it."

"...You don't have to do this. Even if you do..."

"Even if I do this, you won't change your mind about me. I know, just treat it as my second year of middle school syndrome. Don't worry about it."

Fu Xiujie looked indifferent and followed the servant to change his clothes.

After the accident, both of them were dressed in a mess, which was not good. They naturally had to pay attention to their appearance when meeting Old Lady Lin.

Huaizhi also went to change her clothes. Her usual room was in the Yangxin Pavilion.

When the two appeared in front of Old Mrs. Lin, they had returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

Among the twin maids, the one in charge of finances is reporting.

In Fu Xiujie's memory, almost every time he came to see Old Lady Lin, she was listening to another person's report. At first he thought it was a coincidence. After all, as the head of the Lin Group, she must be very busy, right?

Later I realized that it was just a killing stick, handling other matters in a cold and harsh manner in front of outsiders to exert psychological pressure.

When he was young, Fu Xiujie was quite susceptible to this kind of thing and felt extremely stressed every time.

Now...it's already been done, so what pressure is there?

Fu Xiujie stiffened his neck and tried to think clearly, but he was unexpectedly attracted by the discussion between Old Lady Lin and the maid.

It seems that the young master in the family has been disobedient recently, so Old Lady Lin decided to impose the most extreme economic sanctions on him. After a long time of sanctioning, there was no response from the young master. As a result, the maid checked and found out that the young master had quietly opened up a way to make money independently.

It seems like this matter can be explained in one sentence. However, in fact, the maid hesitated for a long time before she told the truth, and she used many embellishments. She was probably afraid that the truth was too far away from the ideas that Old Lady Lin firmly believed in.

Old Mrs. Lin has always been very conceited.

According to the maid's report, the young master opened an investment account on his own, deposited a sum of New Year's money into it, and traded in stocks, futures, and almost everything that could be speculated. Now the assets in the account have exceeded seven million.

"Take the young master?!"

Mrs. Lin lost her composure instantly.

"Seven million... to be exact, it's more than 7.41 million yuan."

The maid carefully handed the report to Old Mrs. Lin.
