Prima lowered the "Original Potion Codex" that had been kept in front of her for a while, and peeked at Lin Jie who was continuing to read the book.

Andrew has been gone for a while.

The bookstore without customers has returned to its original deserted atmosphere, the quiet atmosphere is quiet and peaceful, as if isolated from the world, with an indescribable peace.

The hustle and bustle of the outside world has nothing to do with this place.

The young man quietly turned over a page of the book in his hand, his expression was very focused, and he looked down a bit with a calm and bookish look, like a very ordinary and harmless student who was still studying in an ivory tower. Not like someone who has been a university lecturer.

Not to mention the mysterious and powerful bookstore owner with forbidden knowledge.

Too young, and has a really good temper, and is very good at taking care of others...

Prima thought so more than once in her heart.

Although she has only been in the bookstore for a few days, she can still feel the "approachable" feeling of the owner of the bookstore from time to time.

Kind and friendly like a friend next door.

It always makes people think "is the owner of this bookstore really an ordinary person?"

But when her eyes shifted to the fat white cat and the ring on the young man's hand, those thoughts disappeared in an instant.

"What's more...even the vice president of the Truth Society that my sister often mentioned, a very powerful big shot, came to visit Boss Lin in person and apologized to him."

Prima shuddered as she recalled what she had seen before.

Andrew is like that, as if possessed by an invisible thing... There must be a big problem with that book.

Just like the secret book in her hand, it not only contains the introduction of various medicinal materials, but also seals some almost extinct potion medicinal materials.

Those medicinal materials "grow", "survive", and even have their own consciousness in the book.

Every book in the bookstore is extraordinary.

So how can the owner of the bookstore be ordinary?

"And that silver box is definitely infallible. It is the legendary treasure of the town, the 'Clock Wheel Worm' of Vice President Andrew's family. He even gave such an important family treasure as a gift to Boss Lin. , it seems that he must have done something to offend Boss Lin..."

"Thinking about it from another angle, since Vice President Andrew can use such an important thing to apologize, it must be because if they can't be forgiven, their entire family will encounter something more terrible than losing the bell rotifer."

"...Thinking about it this way, it always feels like Boss Lin is the bad guy."

"...Wait, isn't it, isn't it?"

The girl who was thinking wildly looked suddenly dull, feeling as if she had touched an obvious fact.

If Boss Lin is the villain, things that he couldn't understand before seemed to make sense all of a sudden.

Prima looked at Lin Jie cautiously, with only a faint voice in her heart still wanting to convince herself that he is actually a good person, but the method is rather... special.

Maomao may just be ugly. The strange appearance on Andrew is just an illusion. It is normal for the books in the bookstore to be a little strange as supernatural items...

Lin Jie, who noticed Prima's gaze, raised his head and asked with some doubts: "What's the matter? Prima's little classmate."

He gently closed the book, and when flipping through the book, his hand movements were very gentle—he always handles the book gently when reading, which is a basic respect for knowledge.

But if it is a book as a commodity, he may be a little rougher.

Prima quickly shook her head and waved her hands, and said, "It's all right, I just miss my sister..."

"I see."

Lin Jie put the book aside and nodded, then said with some helplessness: "I just asked Andrew to help, it is impossible to get Jerome to plead guilty immediately, and I understand that you are anxious, after all, your sister may be in a very serious situation now. danger, and may even have been met with misfortune."

"But you must also understand that it's useless to be anxious now. Instead, it will mess up your mind and affect your recovery from injuries. What you need is to calm down and wait, so that you can meet your hated enemy with the most powerful appearance. Hit them hard."

"Understand?"

Seeing Prima nodding like a chick pecking at rice, Lin Jie showed her a very reliable and gentle smile, and said, "I asked Andrew to call my communicator as soon as he got news. I'll let you know the situation as soon as possible, don't worry."

With a warm heart, Prima hummed and said, "Thank you."

Although Boss Lin's methods are a bit weird, he is definitely not that kind of scary character. After all, he has a deep relationship with Ms. Wapu Jisi, so he must be kind!

She clenched her small fist, and she was very firm in her mind.

"You're welcome, helping this world become more gentle and kind is also my small wish."

Lin Jie smiled.

Prima, this weak and timid girl, even had the urge to protect her at this moment.

Obviously knowing the other party's strength, but she really wanted to, really wanted to protect this smile all of a sudden!

Such a kind boss Lin must have a sincere heart, but this world is always so cruel...

She wants to become stronger, like Boss Lin, to fulfill this little wish!

Prima made up her mind.

Just when she was immersed in her dream, Boss Lin's communicator suddenly rang.

Lin Jie took it out and saw that Andrew's name was displayed. He raised his eyebrows and said, "It really means that Cao Cao Cao Cao is here. It seems that things have progressed."

Prima jumped to the counter, eager to know her sister's situation.

Boss Lin asked Andrew to bring Jerome here. I don't know if it will go well or if something will happen. What is the situation with my sister now?

Seeing Prima's eager eyes, Lin Jie shook his head dumbly, simply handed over the communication device in his hand, and said, "You can ask yourself."

Prima nervously took it, took a deep breath, pressed the answer button, and then stuck it to her ear.

In the communicator, Andrew's voice was trembling: "Mr. Lin... Jerome is dead! He died in his office for no reason, his neck was wrung, and his brain and organs, bones, bones, etc. were hollowed out. The flesh and blood... only a piece of skin remained, and his expression seemed to be full of fear and hysteria as if he had seen something terrible."

"Only by my side, there is a sage stone of almost perfect quality."

His voice trembled more and more, and he seemed to take several deep breaths before he asked, "I remember your instructions... I, I will bring 'him' to you."

Buzzing, Lin Jie's words echoed in Prima's ears:

"It's impossible to get Jerome to confess right away—"

The girl's eyes were dull.

Pleading guilty is really impossible.

But can die instantly.
