"This person isn't ordinary." Lin Shao whispered into Chen Yuankai's ear. "Look at the people around him."
Chen Yuankai slowed down his pace and glanced over casually. However, he didn't see anything special. He only saw a small group of people crowding around him like stars surrounding the moon.
Chen Yuankai had seen many rich bosses who had more style than this. He didn't think it was strange, so he turned his head and asked Lin Shao, "What's wrong?"
"There's the deputy mayor in charge of the demolition of our old town …"
That was all Lin Tuo said. She didn't say anything else.
He knew in his heart that these people's social occasions had nothing to do with him. It was only because of the demolition of his house that he saw a few familiar faces on the news.
When Chen Yuankai heard him say this, he took a few more glances.
The old town had been rezoned as Lianjiang New District. The various policies made people jealous. It was a piece of fat meat that everyone wanted to take a bite of.
It was said that many investors had come to Huaili during this period. The gold-rimmed glasses man was probably one of them. He was probably also aiming to develop the old town.
However, this glance at Wangjiang Restaurant didn't mean anything to Chen Yuankai and Lin Shao. They were just passersby passing by the Life of Luxury. After whispering a few words, no one mentioned this matter again.
The designated driver came a little slowly. The two of them sat on the sofa next to the hall and waited for a while. When the designated driver called, he happened to be going the same way as the gold-rimmed glasses man.
This time, he wasn't surrounded by people. There was a person who looked like an assistant behind him.
It wasn't good for them to socialize in this kind of situation. Everyone walked together, so they walked separately one by one.
The gold-rimmed glasses man looked at his watch and raised his phone to speak softly. Lin Shao was behind him, so he didn't hear what he said.
The main hall of Wangjiang Tower was a little too grand. There was still a long distance from the main hall to the door. There was a chandelier that looked like a palace lantern hanging above his head. The bright yellow light scattered down. Lin Shao was originally looking straight ahead, but as he looked, his vision suddenly blurred.
Lin Shao saw that the gold-rimmed glasses in front of him was starting to double. Lin Shao shook his head forcefully, thinking that it was the aftereffects of being drunk. When he looked up again, he suddenly heard a "bang" sound, as if something had fallen, followed by a few ear-piercing screams. The sound was so clear that Lin Shao stopped in his tracks. He looked forward with some horror, only to see that one of the antique chandeliers hanging in front of him had fallen. The chandeliers were half a meter tall, and in order to be transparent, they were made of glass. Broken pieces of glass scattered everywhere. The gold-rimmed glasses in front of him had been smashed. He was lying on the ground, and dark red blood slowly flowed out of his body. It was very eye-catching on the marble floor.
Lin Shao trembled all over. He was a little afraid of seeing blood.
Chen Yuankai saw that he had stopped moving, and the expression on his face was a little strange. He asked, "Why aren't you walking?
The designated driver is waiting for you. "
Lin Shao came back to his senses when he heard Chen Yuankai's voice. He took a closer look, and the terrifying scene he had seen before was no longer there.
The gold-rimmed glasses was walking well, and he was still talking on the phone softly.
Because he had stopped walking, the distance between the two of them had increased.
What's going on?
Lin Shao was also confused. He didn't expect that he would have a dream while walking, and he was pulled along by Chen Yuankai.
"Hurry up, hurry up." Chen Yuankai was an impatient person. "The designated driver is rushing us."
But the scene he had seen before was so real that Lin Shao kept looking up at the lights hanging above his head. When they were about to reach the door, the sharp-eyed Lin Shao noticed that the third-to-last light was a little abnormally slanted. The rope hanging the light also looked strange. It seemed to be thinner than the others.
The others didn't notice it. Who would look up at the ceiling for no reason?
But Lin Shao saw it.
His heart skipped a beat, and he seemed to hear the heavy "bang" in his ears.
Most people would hesitate when faced with this situation, but Lin Shao's reaction was faster than his. He seemed to be born with the decisiveness to deal with this kind of crisis. He immediately broke free from Chen Yuankai's hand and limped over. He pushed the gold-rimmed glasses from behind, and then pulled the assistant who was following behind him to the side.
His series of actions could be considered as smooth as flowing water. In the case of half a leg being disabled, it was considered very fast. But in Chen Yuankai's eyes, it was a little inexplicable.
He was dumbfounded as he watched his childhood friend push the man in a suit, who was walking well, out of the door. The man fell directly at the door, and his glasses flew out. The assistant didn't react in time and was pulled aside. The poor assistant was still wearing high heels. She was unprepared to be pulled by him. She staggered a few steps and fell to the ground.
Originally, the two of them were very well-behaved, but after Lin Shao's interference, the two of them were a little embarrassed.
Chen Yuankai was just about to teach his childhood friend a lesson. How could he be so rude and bite the hand that fed him? He heard Lin Shao yell at him, "Move!"
He subconsciously took a step back, and then heard two "bang" and "crash" sounds.
"Bang" was the sound of the hanging lamp falling down, and then "crash" it broke into pieces on the ground.
The ceiling of the hall was five or six meters high, and the lamp was also heavy. When it fell, it made a loud sound. If it hit the head, even if it didn't die, it would be half dead.
But because of Lin Shao's push and pull, no one was injured.
Fortunately, it was early autumn. Chen Yuankai was wearing long sleeves and trousers at night, so he didn't get splashed by the broken glass.
The place where the lamp fell was about a meter away from him, and he would be there in two more steps. After witnessing all this, he was still a little shaken, and the words he wanted to say just now were forgotten. After a while, he reacted and hurriedly pulled Lin Shao to his side.
"You scared me to death." He patted his chest. "If it weren't for you, I would have died young …"
Lin Shao glared at him. "Don't talk nonsense."
He helped the assistant up. Then he saw the gold-rimmed glasses stand up and walk over. He explained to the two of them, "I'm sorry. I saw that the lamp was about to fall from behind. In a hurry, I didn't think too much."
"I should be the one thanking you," the gold-rimmed glasses said. His voice was still very gentle, but because of what had just happened, it was more or less trembling. "If you didn't push me, I would have been in the emergency room now."
The assistant looked at him with eyes full of gratitude, but when she saw Lin Shao limping when he pulled her, she couldn't help but look at his legs.
It was impossible not to notice such a loud noise. Lin Shao saw many people running over. If it was any other time, he might have stayed to help, but now he couldn't.
He secretly opened the system interface and took a look. The progress bar jumped very fast when he wasn't paying attention. Now it had jumped to 70%. Lin Shao didn't want to waste time here, so he pulled Chen Yuankai and wanted to leave.
"My head hurts too much," he said. "Since it's okay, let's go. Let the people in the restaurant deal with it. Let's go home."
"Are you leaving?" The gold-rimmed glasses stopped him. "I still want to …"
Lin Shao interrupted him and explained, "I'm sorry. I drank too much tonight, and now my head is dizzy. Anyway, it didn't hurt anyone. I can't take it anymore. I just want to go home."
"Okay." The gold-rimmed glasses didn't force him to stay. He took out a business card from his suit pocket and handed it to Lin Shao with both hands. "This is my business card.
It's for saving my life. I want to … "
Lin Tuo saw the number on the system screen jump by another digit. He had a vague feeling that the scene he saw "in advance" was also related to the system. He was anxious and nervous. He didn't have the mood to think about being grateful for saving his life. He only thought that it was fine as long as Lin Tuo was fine. In his opinion, there was no difference between the gold-rimmed glasses helping him when he was drunk and him helping him now. It could be considered as a clean slate between strangers.
He didn't even listen to what the gold-rimmed glasses said. He took the business card and stuffed it into his pocket. He nodded and then pulled Chen Yuankai away.
After getting into the car, Lin Tuo heaved a sigh of relief. Chen Yuankai, on the other hand, was still in a daze. He tugged at Lin Tuo's sleeve and asked, "How did you know that the lamp was going to fall?"
"I saw it with my eyes. When I looked up, I saw that the light was crooked. It felt like it was going to fall." Lin Shao squinted at him. "Otherwise?"
"Oh, no. You said that your head was dizzy, but you can react so quickly. You look very sober. Are you dizzy or not?" Chen Yuankai stared at him. "Ah Fan, why do I feel that you are strange today?"
Lin Tuo rubbed his head and sighed. He looked at the ugly bracelet on his wrist and said, "Then you should get used to it as soon as possible. I reckon that for a long time in the future, I will be 'weird' like this."
