Aren't we friends? Why are you rushing at me?

Lin Shi kept his word and called his subordinate that very night, asking him to help buy amusement park tickets.

Although this was clearly a private matter, Lin Shi, as the owner of Yorozuya, would certainly be able to find a way to reimburse the ticket cost.

As for why he had his subordinates handle it...

Firstly, it allows for closer interaction between subordinates and company employees, making expense reimbursement easier later.

Secondly, he originally wanted to reveal his relationship with Ye Cheng to his subordinates the day before yesterday, and also show off that he was no longer single, but his subordinates managed to escape by scrambling around.

Now that we have another chance, we must get our face back.

He didn't believe that when he said he wanted to buy two annual amusement park passes, his subordinates wouldn't be curious about why he wanted two passes!

"Beep...beep...beep..."

The phone rang for a long time.

Just as Lin Shi thought the other person was asleep and was about to hang up, the call was finally connected.

"Feed? Your subordinates?"

Lin Shi spoke in a lighthearted tone:

"Why did it take you so long to answer? What were you so busy with?"

however.

The honest, kind voice that was usually there didn't come from the other end of the phone.

There was only a deathly silence.

There was also some electrical noise mixed in.

Lin Shi was a little confused. He took the phone away and glanced at the screen to make sure there was no outstanding bill, then put it back to his ear and asked again:

"Feed? Your subordinates?"

"Are you alright?"

Where are you now?

"No, it's nothing."

The subordinate's voice finally came through.

"What could possibly happen to me? If something happens to you, nothing could happen to me."

Lin Shi frowned.

Why does this sound so awkward?

With doubt still lingering, he continued to ask:

Where are you now? I'd like to ask you to have a drink. You won't refuse, will you?

The subordinate immediately sensed Lin Shi's deeper question: he wanted to inquire about his situation, location, and freedom. He was about to speak when...

The phone that was on the table was suddenly picked up by a hand:

"Lin Shi, your men are alright."

"He's here with me now, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Shen?"

Lin Shi was stunned for a moment.

Hearing the cold, indifferent tone on the phone actually put his mind at ease.

Since his subordinates are with Shen Zhixiao, they must be safe.

Quick reply:

"Oh, it's nothing. You guys go ahead and do what you need to do. I'll hang up now."

"etc!"

Shen Zhixiao's words quickly spread:

"He's fine now. I'll give him the phone, you can talk to him."

Immediately afterwards, his subordinate's voice came again:

"Hey, Lin Shi."

Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Shi abandoned any intention of showing off and quickly stated his wishes:

"It's nothing. I originally wanted you to help me buy two annual passes for the amusement park."

"As you know, you've always been in charge of my finances. If you buy it, isn't it easier to get reimbursed?"

After Lin finished speaking, he waited for his subordinates' reply.

It seemed that something had gone wrong with his subordinates again, as they hadn't replied for a long time.

Lin Shi's patience was running out.

Just as he was about to speak, saying that he would buy it himself, his subordinate's voice came through again.

As if afraid that Lin Shi might not hear him clearly, he spoke very slowly:

"Okay. Let's get started, I bought a single-entry ticket."

"Happiness comes first."

"Also, when you're out having fun, you should enjoy yourself to the fullest. As for that annual pass, we'll talk about it later."

"Besides, there are plenty of amusement parks in China. If you don't like one, you can go somewhere else."

After saying these four sentences.

His subordinate, seemingly exhausted, panted heavily and hurriedly added:

"That's it! I'm hanging up!"

The call was disconnected.

Lin Shi held his phone, listening to the busy tone, his expression changing from confusion to speechlessness.

No, why are you talking so vaguely?

He probably didn't drink fake alcohol.

But that shouldn't be the case, since Shen Zhixiao was right next to her.

Even if his subordinates had eight hundred times more courage, they wouldn't dare.

Lin Shi looked at his WeChat on his phone, and his subordinate sent him the purchase receipt.

He replied with a thank you, said "goodnight" to Ye Cheng, and drifted off to sleep.

On the other end of the phone, the subordinate swallowed hard as he watched Shen Zhixiao sitting in his seat, looking at him coldly.

"Your Chinese is pretty good, subordinate. You can even write acrostic poems."

Hearing Shen Zhixiao's words, his subordinate closed his eyes in despair, with two lines of tears still streaming down his face.

Come on, Mr. Shen, just kill me.

Lin Shi, you saved my life, and I will try my best to repay you.

Shen Zhixiao sighed, somewhat speechless, and handed over two tissues:

Why do you all think I would kill someone?

"It's true that I like Lin Shi, but at most, he'd be imprisoned."

"I even let you renovate the basement, because I was afraid he would be uncomfortable if he lived there for too long."

"Who says they like someone and then wants to kill them?"

"Isn't that a madman???"

Upon hearing Shen Zhixiao's explanation, his subordinates opened their eyes in surprise:

"Then what about me?"

"Come back after Lin Shi goes into the basement."

"He was specially assigned to handle Lin Shi's needs, and his salary was doubled."

After Shen Zhixiao finished speaking, his subordinates immediately stood up:

"You should have said so earlier, Mr. Shen."

"When are you going to catch them? I'll start preparing now."

The next day, the sun shone brightly and the sky was cloudless.

It's a good day to skip work.

Lin Shi and Ye Cheng stood in front of the amusement park, holding the VIP passes they had already redeemed.

Ye Cheng changed out of her work clothes today and wore a white dress. Her hair was styled a little, making her look both innocent and well-behaved.

Lin Shi extended his left hand and took Ye Cheng's right hand in his.

Two black rubber bands were visible to outsiders.

It's obvious at a glance that the two are a couple.

"Let's go! Let's set off!"

Lin Shi waved his hand and led Ye Cheng into the amusement park.

And in the bushes not far behind the two.

Two furtive figures were crouching there, holding high-powered binoculars and wearing two leaves on their heads, trying to disguise themselves.

However, their obviously expensive clothes and their beautiful faces kept people's attention focused on them.

If there weren't cameras around, they would have thought it was two unknown celebrities filming a movie.

"Natsuno, are you sick in the head?"

Liu Ruyan looked at Xia Ye, who was monitoring her with binoculars.

He said in a low voice with a look of disgust on his face.

My legs have become somewhat numb from squatting for so long.

"I only talk about close protection; in reality, it definitely needs to be handled by a professional team."

"Why do we, two grown adults, have to squat here like thieves, feeding mosquitoes?"

Liu Ruyan looked up at the tourists beside Lin Shi and continued:

"If you really enjoy being monitored, I can have my bodyguards secretly bring a few cameras and monitor you in real time, that would be fine."

Natsuno remained fixed on the image through the telescope, without even turning his head.

Faced with Liu Ruyan's questioning, he merely curled his lips into a disdainful sneer:

"Oh."

"shallow."
