Chapter 167

The calm and reliable head maid Bella looked at the fighting master in front of her with a smile, and followed with a heavy suitcase.

On the pitch-black body of the box, complex and gorgeous dark red runes faintly flashed, showing its extraordinaryness.

These runes are very similar to the runes painted and engraved on the brass box where the White Wolf stored the original formula, but they are more advanced, and a lot of targeted runes have been added.

To put it simply, this is a sealing circle, which is used to prevent the items in it from leaking breath and to preserve them better.

And the craftsmanship is exquisite, it must come from the hands of a high-level white wizard.

Bella naturally knew that Qi Li's self-confidence was not groundless. She carefully prepared the gift for three years.

Compared with the contents of this box, the doom coin sent by the butler before is indeed just a small gift that can be used as an appetizer, and the two are not the same.

Even for a terrifying existence like Boss Lin who seems to have lived for an unknown number of years, this gift is definitely heavy enough.

Walking out of the alley, Qi Li suddenly stopped, her cheerful expression froze, and she looked sharply at the street opposite the bookstore.

This place was hit by a "gas explosion" before - of course, extraordinary people all know that it was the aftermath of the battle between the great sage of the elves and the leader of the Red Cult - and it was turned into ruins, and now it has been rebuilt.

In terms of scale, it is much better than the sparse dilapidated houses and shops in the past.

Of course, Qi Li didn't care about these.

Her sharp eyes fell on the construction warning sign.

On the very eye-catching yellow warning sign, there were eight big characters "Roll Resource Development Company" written on it.

This means that the construction site directly opposite the bookstore is a project contracted by Rolle Resource Development Company.

"How did Luoer Resources come here? Didn't they always disdain to develop such a remote place that is just a line away from a slum?"

Qi Li frowned, feeling something was wrong in her heart.

What she feels now is like one day when she routinely inspects an absolutely secret and exclusive treasure land that only she knows, suddenly a group of goblins swaggering and carrying hoes...

And when she took a closer look, she found that this group of goblins had not only enclosed a large area not far away, but also started to develop it, only a thin line away from her treasure land.

It was almost a cardiac arrest.

Qi Li clenched her fists tightly, stared at the warning sign, and gritted her teeth bitterly: "Damn it, I was busy investigating Congreve's affairs some time ago, but I didn't find out about Luo Eryuan's actions... These goblins are absolutely amazing. It is impossible to aim at nothing and do things without benefits.”

"I've investigated this area long ago, and it has no commercial value at all, so the only one who can really attract Rolle's resources... is Mr. Lin."

With Qili's keenness and intelligence, she immediately realized that something was wrong.

The treasure land she has been hiding for many years has been coveted by this group of ugly green-skinned goblins!

"If I didn't want to disturb Mr. Lin, there would still be a location for Luo Er's resources here? Damn it!"

Qi Li stomped her feet angrily, but unfortunately, her petite figure was not threatening at all, it seemed that she was only big enough to jump up and knock someone's knee.

Bella still kept smiling, even though her master suddenly made strange metaphors like goblins, she remained calm and relaxed, leaning slightly and said, "Master, do you want me to check the initiator and person in charge of the project?"

"Hoo hoo..."

Qi Li puffed up her cheeks angrily, and it took a long time to calm down, and she snorted coldly: "Check!"

"Find it all out for me, if you want to grab something from me, even Luo Er's resources have no way!"

"yes."

Qi Li straightened her expression, raised her chin and said, "No matter what, I was the one who met Mr. Lin the first time, and Mr. Lin will definitely be very satisfied with today's gift, it's not that these sneaky little tricks can compare of."

Hmph, it's just a dream come true to think that you can get close to Mr. Lin in this way.

They don't know Mr. Lin at all. What he hates the most is being interrupted to open a bookstore. After all, he is very keen on playing the role of the owner of the bookstore, which can be called his greatest hobby.

If even this interest is artificially interfered, for example, sending someone pretending to be a customer into the bookstore hypocritically, such behavior will definitely be severely punished by Mr. Lin.

Qi Li's mood became beautiful again.

With light steps, she walked to the door of the bookstore, put her hand on the door and pushed it open slightly.

At this moment, Qi Li felt her heart beating so fast that it was about to fly out.

After three years, she finally came here again.

The biggest turning point in her life is also the starting point of everything.

"jingle."

The familiar sound of bells rang, making Qili even feel her eyes were a little wet, and her whole body trembled slightly.

The door opened, and everything in the bookstore came into view.

The dim light in the store illuminates the bookshelves full of books, half of the stairs are hidden in the distance, the counter nearby, and the black-haired young man who is sorting out the books on the bookshelf and flipping through a book in his hand.

Everything is pretty much the same as it was three years ago.

"Shuh..."

Lin Jie turned a page of the book, looked up and saw the little girl with red eyes standing blankly at the door looking at him.

"Qi..."

Before he could finish his blurted words, he saw the little girl rushing towards him like the wind, rushing headfirst into his arms.

"boom!"

Head and chest contact, very solid voice.

Lin Jie subconsciously opened his arms to catch Qi Li, feeling a dull pain in his chest, secretly thinking that if this was replaced by a dead house that is usually neglected in exercise, he might be knocked down on the spot.

This small body really contains huge energy.

He patted the back of Qili who was hugging him tightly, and said softly: "Okay, okay, it's okay."

But I thought in my heart that this little girl really hasn't changed at all from three years ago.

I originally thought that I had learned to be independent in three years, but I didn't expect that I was still a crybaby.

Qili hugged Lin Jie for a while, and suddenly realized that she had lost her composure, and took two steps back in embarrassment, pinching her skirt and faltering, very disturbed: "Mr. Lin, I'm sorry..."

Although she claimed to have known Lin Jie for the longest time, such behavior was already presumptuous and too intimate.

She was a little worried that Lin Jie would be angry.

Lin Jie couldn't help laughing, squatted down and pinched her cheek: "It's okay, long time no see, Qili."

Qi Li looked at his smiling face, her heart was beating wildly, she was dizzy and couldn't say anything.

Fortunately, Bella walked into the bookstore afterwards, put the black suitcase in her hand on the counter respectfully, folded her hands in front of her body, and bowed slightly: "Mr. It is a small gift prepared by the master."

Lin Jie walked back behind the counter and looked at the dark suitcase, which looked like a cash box full of stacks of banknotes that had appeared in countless TV dramas.

He couldn't help showing a smile: "Come here, what are you doing with such an expensive gift..."
