Millennium Babylon

Chapter 21 Chapter 21

Jimmy left Dreamland, took a bag full of gold bars, and turned down a small road.

In fact, he felt that someone was following him as soon as he went out. When crossing the road, he caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye. It was the soldier who had dinner with the Minister of Defense in Dream Garden just now.

This is too obvious.He rolled his eyes in his mind, and used the bag as a dumbbell to move up and down, exercising his muscles.

The light turned green, and Jimmy crossed the road and turned into a dark, deserted alley.

There are several old hotels side by side in the alley, which received colonial tourists decades ago, but now only prostitutes and drug dealers are still here.

As soon as he entered the alley, Jimmy immediately climbed up to the roof of the building through the outdoor stairs, preparing to enter the safe house that Jeremy arranged for him from the roof.

The security personnel of Chen Capital have been waiting in the building for a long time.

It seemed that he didn't expect that Jimmy would return to his lair so soon, cutting off their chance to attack on the road, the soldier jumped a few times along the water pipes and the window sill, and just after chasing to the top of the building, he let go of Jimmy's feet. gun.

"do not move."

The killer said coldly.

When Jimmy raised his hands on the roof and looked up at the sky, Lin Shu also looked up at the sky from the window of his small apartment.

After the heavy rain, the sky in Xianshui City was clear and uniform, like a clean blue, like a chance to start all over again.

The Three Kingdoms in the South have suffered continuous wars for half a century, and their economic and cultural development has stagnated. They really have to start all over again. I don’t know if they will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.

In this world, it seems that the strong are always getting stronger and the weak are getting weaker.

And he has nothing to worry about in this world, and the only thing he worries about is Jimmy.The navigator who is usually carefree and sincere when he smiles looks like his eyes are full of stars.

Lin Mu took out his mobile phone and used the "Find My iPhone" function to locate the address of his other mobile phone.He stuffed the phone into Jimmy's handbag that morning.

He usually doesn't carry a bag when he goes out, so Lin Mu offered to lend him a bag to match the three-piece suit.

A mobile phone with positioning function was already stuffed in that bag.Chen Yan had just had an accident, and he hadn't woken up in the hospital yet. Lin Mu didn't want to let the regrettable situation in the Golan Valley happen again.

However, Lin Mu's hand holding the phone gradually tightened.

After Jimmy left the dream garden, he was walking normally in a straight line, but at this moment he suddenly accelerated and dodged around, as if... Lin Mu couldn't help but make the worst plan.

——like being hunted down.

Jimmy leaped across several balconies in a row, ducking between TV antennas and drying racks.

He knew that he was getting farther and farther away from the safe house. In order to avoid forcing his opponent to jump over the wall just now, he just pressed the emergency call button on the pager and did not shout for help to the bodyguards who were a wall away.

Now he is like an ancient chivalrous man, jumping between the roofs, choosing the difficult roads in order to hope that the opponent will retreat in the face of difficulties.

A girl in the alley accidentally looked up to the sky and saw him, she was so shocked that she dropped the mango in her hand.

The gang of soldiers was still chasing him, at least six of them, all with guns.

But Jimmy realized that they weren't trying to kill him - if they were going to kill him, they would have done it already.

These people must have received orders from the Deputy Secretary of Defense to "catch alive".

That General Amir somehow decided that Jimmy did not make a deal in good faith, and wanted to kidnap him back to China, and then forced Chen Capital to ship the uranium raw materials.At that time, the uranium raw material will be the ransom for the exchange of hostages.

Jimmy scolded the fat man in his heart.He didn't know where he was suspicious.He even took the deposit with peace of mind, just to gain the trust of the other party.

Jimmy stopped suddenly, and after going around in circles, he finally reached the spacious terrace above the safe house.

He was still holding the box of apricot ice cream firmly in one hand, and threw the bag on the ground with the other, and the gold bar made a pleasant muffled sound when it fell to the ground.

Jimmy waved his hands, as if he couldn't run anymore: "I won't play with you anymore, this game, no, okay, play. What do you want? Are these gold bars? They are all yours now. "

Jimmy just needs to stall for time, wait for the bodyguards to settle the battle, then straighten out his clothes, return to Lin Shu's apartment as if nothing happened, knock on the door, and say whether he is surprised or not, I don't want Tal but I hate you even more. , try this ice cream——

A soldier came to take the bag away, but when he bent over to carry the bag, the short knife in his hand suddenly came out of its sheath, which caught Jimmy by surprise.

Jimmy went to business without any weapons.

Even relying on the foundation of boxing practiced in London for many years, he could barely escape a few rounds.

The opponent's knife was extremely fast and ruthless, and each knife was not fatal, but only made him lose his ability to move in pain.See some blood, follow them honestly.

Jimmy saw a knife slashing towards his shoulder, turned sideways neatly, and punched the opponent's right shoulder.

But the other party staggered and slashed his eyes with a knife in the process of falling forward. Jimmy subconsciously waved his hand to block it, and blood flowed profusely on his forearm in an instant.

"Ah fuck..." Jimmy covered his wound, and hurriedly recalled how Lin Mu saved him in the field first aid class?

He looked around and couldn't find any traces of trees, so he swallowed back his wailing.

The blood was dripping on his three-piece suit, which was unsightly.

Suddenly, without warning, Jimmy heard a gunshot.He counted, a total of five.

Then a gun fell from the sky, and he knew that it was thrown by the bodyguard lurking on the rooftop next door.

In order to prevent surprise, they did not ambush from the rooftops, but detoured to the rooftops of the next few buildings and sniped from a long distance.

Five of the six servicemen have fallen.The one that scratched Jimmy was left. They only wounded his leg, but they spared his life. They probably wanted him to deal with it himself and vent his anger.

Jimmy picked up the gun steadily, loaded it neatly, and aimed the gun at the soldier who had fled five meters away.

He dragged his injured leg and staggered forward a few steps, then stopped running, and slowly turned towards Jimmy as if accepting his fate.

His army trousers were all red with blood, and he knelt down, raising his hands above his head to Jimmy.

Jimmy's eyes widened suddenly, impossible!

It is impossible for trees to appear here!

His muzzle swayed visibly, and in the visual void left by the soldier kneeling, he could clearly see the standing figure of Lin Mu on the edge of the opposite roof.

why did he come...

Jimmy's eyes turned red for a moment.Regardless of the fact that his hands were still bleeding, he strode toward the trees.

He didn't want Lin Mu to risk his life.

If there was a misfire just now, or if there were more killers sent by the deputy minister, then his snipers might not be able to resist it.

If one is not careful, the entire army may be wiped out by Chen Capital.

How could he involve Lin Mu in the political vortex of the Three Kingdoms, and face the threat of the enemy's ashes all the time?

He didn't want this...he should let Lin Shu run far away.

But Lin Shu didn't run, and didn't even move.

He watched Jimmy running towards him, getting closer and closer, and finally fell into his arms.

He held Jimmy tightly in his arms.

The moonlight on the rooftop is like water, and the roofs of thousands of households in Saltwater City serve as the background, like an old-fashioned Hollywood movie, dangerous and sensational.

Lin Mu had no expression on his face, and he couldn't see if he was really angry: "Why don't you use a tie to stop the bleeding?! What did you hear in class? Is bleeding from the aorta fun?"

Jimmy's heart ached in pain, tears probably welled up in his eyes.

He thought, and couldn't help laughing when he thought about it—because he couldn't bear it.

Dr. Pete did teach them that a tie is the ideal tourniquet.But he was reluctant to part with the things Lin Mu gave him.

I also blame him for not understanding it in class.It turns out that life can be lost, just for the sake of some more important things, which can always be protected and not lost.

But Jimmy said plausibly: "Silk tie is not good for stopping bleeding. I was planning to use cotton shirt, but you caught up with me—"

Hearing this, Lin Mu got his hands on it, unbuttoned his shirt, took it off his left shoulder, lowered his head and bit it with his teeth, tore it apart, tied it tightly around his forearm three times, and tied a beautiful knot.

"Hey, it hurts."

"Pain gives you a long memory."

Jimmy bared his teeth: "I don't dare to do it next time, okay? I won't hire you again next time. Next time you take it easy, okay? Take it easy, this matter can't be rushed—"

Lin Mu slapped him on the forehead: "What are you thinking about at this time?!"

Jimmy dismissed the bodyguards to clean up the scene.The safe house was chosen in the drug dealer area because the law and order here is chaotic, and even the police are unwilling to manage it.

Lin Mu stopped Jimmy's bleeding temporarily, and took the young man with dirty thoughts back to his bachelor apartment for reform and education.

"You sleep there." Lin Mu pointed to the single bed in the bedroom.

Lin Mu obviously lived alone for a long time.As if he was afraid that he would become addicted to this place, even his bed was the simplest camp bed.

Xianshui City couldn't buy such high-end products as mattresses, so Lin Mu spread two layers of quilts on the bed boards as mattresses.

"You sleep here too." Jimmy didn't dare to provoke him, knowing that he must be holding back his anger.

So Jimmy lay down obediently to the direction Lin Mu pointed out to him, and then patted his side, "Come here."

Lin Mu ignored him, and fell asleep on the sofa outside.The sofa was very small, and he had a pair of long legs hanging out, making the injured patient, who was unwilling to be alone, unconsciously imagine.

"Lin Mu, Lin Mu, are you... angry?"

"have not slept."

"You're obviously angry... shall we talk about it?"

"Go to bed first tonight. You have been hurt for a hundred days, and you have plenty of time to tell me."

Jimmy couldn't think of any more excuses to strike up a conversation.

He knew that Lin Mu was not asleep yet, but his eyelids involuntarily became heavier and heavier.He felt as if he was wearing two quilts, and the quilts were getting heavier and heavier, and he sank deeper and deeper.The quilt with the moving fragrance of forest trees...

The next day, Jimmy was woken up by the sound of cracking eggs.

The last time he stayed in Linmu's mansion outside Taal, he got up in the morning and made him a hearty French toast breakfast.

He still remembers the day when he saw the forest in the sunshine and the aroma of coffee that morning, and felt that he had won the lottery of life, and it was like this.

But today...Jimmy dragged his injured arm on the bed, propped up half of his body, and saw the trees with a white apron hanging around his neck from a distance, beating eggs, pouring milk, and frying toast unskillfully.

The sun shines into the house through the panes, and the streets are full of people.

The green shadow of the sycamore tree brought in by the wind also caused the wind chime to move slightly—beautiful like an enchantment, where monsters do not invade and war does not disturb.

It turned out that the lottery in his life was more than that day. Jimmy thinks, as long as Lin Mu is by his side, every day is a day to redeem the prize.

As soon as Lin Mu turned his head, his eyes met his.Lin Mu looked away unnaturally, and continued to be busy with the work in hand.

"Still angry..." Jimmy muttered.

He saw that the oil in the pan was already hot, and the toast mixed with milk and eggs was cooked, and then poured with icing sugar, it was a decent breakfast of love.

He sighed, "I can understand that you are angry—"

Lin Mu insisted: "I'm not angry."

Jimmy also became stubborn: "No, don't be like this, I lied to you to talk about business with my acquaintances, it was my fault. I regret it now, I'm sorry—"

No one spoke for a while, Lin Mu suddenly asked him: "Do you know what is the most important thing about flying heavy equipment?"

Then he answered himself: "It's not maintenance, it's not equipment, it's not even Fei Ling. More important than the strength of teammates is trust."

He turned his back and said, "I'm sorry I didn't trust you enough."

"Lin Mu? I trust you!" Jimmy jumped out of bed, ran to the living room barefoot, and pulled Lin Mu over from behind: "I trust you."

Lin Mu turned back, and he pulled him back, and then Lin Mu turned around again, and Jimmy reached out again, but was tightly grasped by Lin Mu who suddenly decided to face him.

Jimmy's wound was pulled, he staggered in pain, and fell on Lin Shu.

Then Lin Mu felt the urge that men have when they wake up in the morning.He felt it, but he did nothing.

Jimmy didn't let go, and didn't bother to hide anything, looking straight into his eyes.

Lin Mu turned his face away, took a few breaths, and finally said: "Do you want to get rid of me? Do you still think that you can get rid of me, let me not get involved in these things of yours, and then one day, let me lose you, To fend for myself?"

Jimmy put his hand on Lin Mu's face and stroked it tenderly, but he avoided it.

Jimmy explained: "Yes! I don't want to involve you, it's not your business. It's not your revenge, it's me who wants revenge, it's my bad luck, it's my bad luck. You are so good, Lin Shu, you are the best in the world people..."

"You still think that you and I can be separated? The road is the same, each side? You do your business, and I hide by the side and live like a dog? How can I live like that? Have you ever thought about me?! What do you think? You are bad luck for your hatred, how can I live well for the rest of my life?!"

Lin Mu closed his eyes dangerously, then opened them again: "Did I always treat you too well, and caused you some misunderstanding?"

Jimmy didn't understand.Then he found himself being picked up horizontally by Lin Mu, and within a minute, he had already been thrown onto Lin Mu's single bed.

The bed was too small, it could only accommodate him alone, and then Lin Mu bullied up and firmly occupied the space above him.

Jimmy just couldn't help it on the spot.

Lin Shu panted violently, and picked up the tie on the bedside table that Jimmy had carefully folded for hiding.

"Aren't you reluctant?" Lin Mu mercilessly tied Jimmy's injured hand and wrist to the desk lamp with a tie.

The tie is wrinkled and doesn't look good anymore.Lin Mu pointed and warned: "Dare to move, you will pay for the broken lamp."

Then Lin Mu cast his eyes on Jimmy: "Aren't you doing something, you think we're just talking?"
