Beach Villa Area B, 3-11, He Chaoqun's private villa.
After settling Ji Xiaoyue in the guest bedroom, He Chaoqun returned to the living room and made a phone call.
"Uncle Wang, this is Xiaoqun."
"…"
"I've been busy with the design for the past two days, so I didn't tell my dad when I left. By the way, it's too noisy at home, so I moved to Manhattan Beach."
"…"
"Go back? Why? I'm fine here. "
"…"
"I'll call my dad myself later. Don't worry about it."
When Gu Chi climbed in through the window on the second floor, He Chaoqun was still on the phone downstairs.
The villa had a password lock. Unless one blew up the entire door with explosives, one could only enter from the second floor. Fortunately, He Chaoqun opened the window on the second floor as soon as he came back, which gave Gu Chi a great opportunity.
Chen Yin wanted to climb up, but she was wearing too many colorful things and was stopped by Gu Chi.
It was hard not to attract attention when such a colorful person was hanging on the wall.
"Click." A soft sound came from upstairs.
He Chaoqun's eyes narrowed and he lowered his voice.
"Uncle Wang, I'll talk to you later …"
He hurriedly hung up the phone, turned around, and walked to the second floor quietly.
The door of the guest bedroom was opened a crack. He clearly remembered that he had just closed the door.
He frowned and reached out to push the door.
"Sister Xiao Yue, are you awake?"
There was no movement in the room.
After pushing the door open, the person on the bed was still the same as before. Even the shape of the creases on the bed had not changed.
He looked at the window with fluttering curtains, hesitated for a few seconds, then walked over and closed the window.
Maybe he had been too paranoid recently.
Looking at Ji Xiaoyue, who was motionless on the bed, his frown deepened. He didn't know if the Maid had really been checked by the doctor, but she still showed no signs of waking up.
Thinking of this, he sighed and couldn't bear to continue watching. He simply stood up and went out, closing the door behind him. Then, he walked down the stairs.
Just as he walked up two steps, his footsteps suddenly stopped. His eyes revealed a stunned expression as he stared blankly at the three people standing in the living room. His face was full of astonishment.
"How did you guys get in?"
"It's not difficult to come in here." Gu Chi looked serious. "I climbed in through the window and then went downstairs to open the door for them. Your security here isn't very good."
He Chaoqun's mouth twitched.
"Gu Chi, aren't you a little too casual when it comes to entering and leaving my place?"
"We were also afraid that we would alarm others if we spoke at the entrance, so we came up with this plan." Ye Huanyan explained, "We're here to look for someone. We didn't expect to see you here. How's Xiao Yue?"
Hearing this, He Chaoqun remembered the important matter.
"She's fine, but she hasn't woken up, so I planned to call home to get a doctor to come over and take a look."
"From your house?"
Gu Chi frowned. "I'm afraid it's not very safe."
The He family did not look for someone in Manhattan with great fanfare, which was considered extremely benevolent. However, this did not rule out the possibility that some people who were enemies of the Four Seasons Villa would take this opportunity to cause trouble and remove the firewood from under the Gu family.
"The doctor is my classmate. There won't be a problem."
He Chaoqun hurriedly explained.
Gu Chi still looked at He Chaoqun with a vigilant expression, showing no signs of backing down.
Even if He Chaoqun found a way to get Ye Huanyan and the others out of the villa, he did not feel that there was anything to thank him for. After all, if it weren't for the He family, the Four Seasons Villa would still be peaceful, and they would not have been forced into such an awkward situation.
Ye Huanyan coughed dryly and tried to smooth things over.
"Even if we take Xiao Yue away like this, we can't take her to see a doctor, so it's better to let Xiao Qun find someone. At least it's more reliable than us looking for a doctor outside."
Gu Chi nodded in the end, agreeing with Ye Huanyan's words.
He Chaoqun went to call a doctor, and the three of them sat down on the sofa again, each with their own thoughts.
When he came back from the phone call, he was holding a tray in his hand. On the tray were three cups of hot tea. It was unknown when he had boiled the water to brew the tea.
"You just said that you were looking for someone here, not us, right?"
"Yes." Ye Huanyan took the teacup from He Chaoqun's hand and nodded gently. "My brother should be nearby."
Gu Chi glanced at Ye Huanyan with a bit of surprise in his eyes.
"It's fine. Since Xiao Qun was willing to inform us in advance, he won't tell anyone about us."
Ye Huanyan knew what Gu Chi was worried about.
Hearing this, Gu Chi frowned and didn't say a word.
"You said that Brother Si Nian is here?"
He Chaoqun's voice was full of disbelief. "Are you sure? Here? What a coincidence. "
"From the tracking of the Four Seasons Villa, the last place where the boat stopped was around here."
"Which district is that? Which house? In December, there shouldn't be many residents. Most of the houses here were bought as summer vacations. "
"Really?" Ye Huanyan widened his eyes in surprise. "In other words, there aren't many people living here during this time?"
"Yes."
Ye Huanyan and Chen Yin instantly exchanged glances.
This meant that their workload would be sharply reduced. This was good news that was hard to come by.
"Gu Chi's plan is for us to split up and search the beach villas. We'll go door to door to see if there are any suspicious houses. On the other hand, we'll find a way to hack into the property rights trading system here and investigate the owner's information. We'll work on both ends and try to find my brother's exact whereabouts as soon as possible."
"Then I'll go with you. I can help."
"No need. Just help us as an inside man. If something happens, we'll have a backup plan."
Ye Huanyan looked at He Chaoqun with a gentle expression.
"You don't have to feel too guilty. This matter isn't something we can control. You've done your best. That's enough. We're very grateful that you saved Xiao Yue."
He Chaoqun's expression turned sluggish. His eyes dimmed a little, as if he was unwilling to accept it.
"Sister, you don't have to comfort me. There's not much I can do when something like this happens. My father … I really don't know what he's thinking. I thought that he lived a clean and peaceful life, but the older he gets, the more he reverts back to his old self."
Hearing this, Gu Chi's vigilant eyes relaxed a little.
At night, the doctor came to see Ji Xiaoyue.
"She's fine. She's just too tired. She needs to be put on some glucose and rest for a while. She should wake up after resting for two days."
What he said was similar to what the Maid had said.
Ye Huanyan was originally in the next room. After the doctor left, He Chaoqun opened the door and repeated what he said to her. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief. He held Ji Xiaoyue's hand by the bed and helped her lift the blanket up to her chin with his other hand.
"When do you plan to start the operation tonight?"
He Chaoqun asked as he looked for clothes in the wardrobe.
Ye Huanyan answered,
"When it's completely dark, we'll see which villas in this area have their lights on. We'll first investigate and make a record."
