Chapter 284

Because of a cup of milk tea from another world, a civil war about belief in Prima's family has subsided in this way.

Although in the past these two parties have been in conflict, they have developed to the point where they are almost endless. Died unexpectedly.

But the common recognition of food made them find similarities in each other after a long absence.

And at this moment, they finally realized that they and each other shed the same blood, and realized that the unity of the family is far more important than vain beliefs—they are born from the same root, so there is no need to fight each other too quickly.

Then, shake hands and make peace and get back together.

In Lin Jie's mind, according to Andrew's description, things should be roughly like this.

Hmm...it's not difficult to understand.

After all, the power of good food is unlimited.

In short, the little girl Prima could have left the bookstore a few days ago.

But when Lin Jie asked Prima, she immediately panicked and said that she didn't want to go back now, but wanted to stay in the bookstore for a few more days.

The reason she gave was quite simple: "Mr. Lin saved me and taught me such important knowledge. I know I can do nothing to repay him, but I still hope to help Mr. Lin a little..."

The so-called help naturally refers to working as a waiter in the book cafe next door to help Mo En manage the store.

In other words, be the assistant of Lin Jie's assistant.

Lin Jie saw that the little girl was doing a decent job as his assistant's assistant, so he let her go. Anyway, except for three meals a day, he was basically doing free work for him. Don't be in vain.

And after things like the disappearance of his sister and the assassination sent by his uncle, it is inevitable that he will have a psychological shadow on the so-called family.

It does take a bit of mental construction to go back.

So Lin Jie still asked Prima to stay these few days, but... this is not a long-term solution, she has to go back and face it.

Lin Jie's current plan is to let Mo En accompany him there.

Although Moen looked about the same age as that little girl, her combat power was incomparable. She could instantly kill five young and middle-aged men with her bare hands!

—of Hood's poor associates.

And Moen is more prudent in doing things. When the time comes, if the situation is not good, just run away, or call Andrew or him.

Lin Jie was thinking about finding an opportunity to talk to Prima in the past two days, when the store door was suddenly pushed open.

"welcome."

Lin Jie quickly put away the cat teaser, raised his head, and saw a tall, thin middle-aged man with a sad face.

Xiaobai slid forward for a while due to inertia, and then immediately sat upright with his head upright, his face full of reserve and pride, and he let out a very cold "meow".

In Lin Jie's eyes, the middle-aged man who walked into the bookstore was well-dressed and clean, with a white shirt, leather vest and trousers and leather shoes, looking a bit frail, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and holding a book or something in his hand. ……notebook.

His expression was tense and cramped, but there was a hint of expectation. After entering the store, he subconsciously showed a friendly smile to the owner of the bookstore, then turned sideways and carefully closed the door of the bookstore again.

...Do you want to act like an underground spy who came to do some secret business?

Lin Jie couldn't help complaining in his heart, the man's demeanor didn't look like he was here to buy books, but something shady.

And you're so nervous that your brow is sweating, hey!

"Hello."

The middle-aged man came over, took a deep breath, looked at the young man in front of him who seemed to be smiling very kindly, and hesitated for a while: "Excuse me, are you the owner of this bookstore?"

"Yes, I own this bookstore."

Lin Jie nodded. Although he felt that this guy was probably not here to buy books, he still asked as usual: "Buy books, borrow books, or read?"

The middle-aged man came over and sat down in front of the counter, making up his mind, and put the notes in his hand on the table: "No, uh... My name is Theodore, I am a second-hand bookseller, and I recently rented a book on the opposite side. A shop is located in the commercial city newly built by Luoer Resources, and I took the liberty to visit it because of this book..."

Oh... or colleagues?

Looking at it like this, do you want to sell the notes in your hand to him?

Lin Jie's eyes fell on the dilapidated-looking notebook. The plain black cover had a deeper stain on it, and even a corner was missing. The degree of damage is at least decades old.

This second-hand... is really quite second-hand.

Of course, this is a joke. Obviously, this notebook should have some historical value, for example, it was written by a certain celebrity, or it recorded very important events or information.

It's just... since it is a second-hand bookseller, it should be very clear about the value of these books.

If it is what Lin Jie thinks, the value of this notebook should be very high, why not sell it to experts and scholars who will definitely be more interested, or a museum?

Instead, I came to look for a bookstore like him... even a group of poor-looking bookstores.

Could it be that he intends to take books that are actually worthless and forge them to deceive the honest people who run ordinary bookstores?

Like him...

Lin Jie mused, crossing his hands and supporting his chin, deciding not to speak and pretending to be a master, waiting for Theodore to clarify his reason for coming. Just such a book alone can't explain anything.

The latter continued anxiously: "About this book, I actually know very little. I bought it from someone else. I only know that it comes from the lower city. I can't even understand what is recorded in it, but because it , I recently encountered a very... bizarre thing."

Lin Jie leaned back slightly, pulled Xiao Bai over and hugged him to caress, raised his eyebrows, and said, "A bizarre thing?"

Theodore nodded, and said: "Yes... I was followed and investigated by some unknown people, they all came for this book, and, more and more, I have nowhere to go, so I want to I need your help!"

He cautiously added and explained: "I saw Luo Eryuan's car parked in front of your bookstore a few days ago, and the young lady seemed to be visiting with a gift, so..."

So what kind of supernatural character do you think I will be?

You're wrong... I'm just an ordinary bookstore owner. At most, I just learned a little bit of super power, which is a little bit stronger than ordinary people.

But things finally came to light, it turned out to be like this... The trouble caused by Miss Ji.

Lin Jie frowned, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead: "I'll take a look first, after all, I'm just an ordinary person with limited abilities, so I don't know if I can help you."

Lin Jie reached out to take the notebook and looked at the stains on the cover. According to his experience, it should be bloodstained.

It seems that this notebook does have a not simple story.

But I don't know why... He actually finds this notebook familiar?

It's like seeing it somewhere.
