Liu Mei seemed much calmer, but occasionally looked up at Lin Xiao with a smile, and said with great relief: "Lin Xiao, you have really grown up now, and I can rely on you."
"Auntie, that's too polite. You took care of me when I was little. Now that I'm grown up, isn't it my duty to take care of you?"
Hearing what Lin Xiao said, Liu Mei's heart immediately surged with warmth.
After eating, the two women took a shower and rested. During the two days in the abandoned textile factory, they barely slept a wink because they were so scared.
Now I can finally have a good rest.
...
Liu Mei and Liu Shiqi returned, and the orphanage was back on track.
Partly to celebrate and partly to make up for the two days of not eating, Liu Mei cooked a sumptuous meal herself.
Seeing so many delicious foods on the table, Liu Shiqi giggled non-stop.
"Stop giggling and eat quickly!"
Lin Xiao patted Liu Shiqi's head and urged with a smile.
Liu Shiqi hummed, then nodded heavily, and then said: "Brother Lin, it's great to have a reliable person like you in our welfare home."
"Stop talking nonsense, the food will be cold if you don't eat."
Lin Xiao pretended to be angry and said.
However, he was actually very happy to be recognized by the people he cared about. Is there anything more joyful than this in the world?
At this moment, Yuan Zheng suddenly walked in.
Liu Mei immediately greeted: "Yuan Zheng, you probably haven't finished your meal yet. Sit down and eat with us."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zheng immediately shook his head.
"No, Dean Liu, I'm not hungry."
As a subordinate, how can he eat at the same table as his boss? This is one of the rules that Yuan Zheng has always adhered to, and he also wanted to express his admiration and respect for Lin Xiao in this way.
But in fact, Lin Xiao didn't care at all about this. Instead, he hoped that Yuan Zheng would be less restrictive.
Because although Yuan Zheng is his right-hand man, in his heart, Lin Xiao prefers to regard him as his brother!
"What's the matter with coming here suddenly?"
Lin Xiao put down his chopsticks and looked at Yuan Zheng and asked.
Yuan Zheng nodded, and then looked at Liu Shiqi and Dean Liu - Yuan Zheng meant that what he was going to say next was not convenient to say in front of Liu Shiqi and Dean Liu.
But Lin Xiao didn't pay attention, nodded and said: "Let me just say here that Shi Qi and Aunt Liu are not outsiders."
Now that Lin Xiao had spoken, Yuan Zheng didn't hesitate any longer.
"Commander, someone from the Yamen just came with news. Li Zhilin has explained the whereabouts of his deposits, which total 4.3 billion. Now this money has been confiscated by the Yamen."
Hearing this, Lin Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
"Hand it over to the Dragon Kingdom, that's good."
However, Yuan Zheng's face did not look good. He continued: "However, the Yamen is very dissatisfied with you and asked me if I had known that Li Zhilin had such a deposit, so I insisted on cooperating with Li Ziran's plan and transferred it to Li Zhilin."
Li Zhilin led him out of the prison."
Lin Xiao's brows furrowed slightly.
Although Yuan Zheng did not elaborate, he probably guessed it.
Liu Shiqi and Liu Mei were kidnapped before. In order to prevent the two women from being tortured by Li Ziran, Lin Xiao contacted Zheng Hongsheng for help.
Zheng Hongsheng, on the other hand, approached Zhao Guangwei, the top leader of Jingnan Yamen, and asked him to cooperate with the rescue plan.
But at that time, Zhao Guangwei did not listen to Zheng Hongsheng's opinion and just asked Yuan Zheng to take Li Zhilin out of the prison. Otherwise, the Jingnan Yamen did not give Lin Xiao any help.
