The early winter night was always chilly. Walking on the sidewalk, Ye Zi tightened the collar of her cashmere coat to prevent the cold wind from blowing in.
When she passed the zebra crossing, the traffic light on the sidewalk had turned red. However, Ye Zi continued to walk forward as if she didn't see it.
Beep beep beep …
A rapid honking sound pierced into Ye Zi's ears.
She suddenly became alert and quickly looked around. She had walked to the middle of the road. If someone hadn't honked the horn just now, perhaps, she …
"You want to die! I didn't see the red light! "
Ye Zi looked at the driver apologetically and saluted, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry …"
She returned to the side of the road and waited for the red light to turn green. Then she crossed the zebra crossing and walked to the other side of the road.
From the beginning to the end, Ye Zi's mind was thinking about every word that Ren Tianye had just said.
She really wanted to know who the person who told Ren Tianye to find her to investigate the fire four years ago was.
Thinking about it, she walked into the subway, followed the pedestrians, and walked into the subway.
"Next stop, Mingshi Road."
Hearing the station announcement, Ye Zi became alert. She suddenly found that she had taken the wrong subway, and the next stop was Mingshi Road.
Mingshi Apartment was located on Mingshi Road.
Ye Zi looked around and found an empty seat to sit down. When the subway stopped on Mingshi Road, Ye Zi got up and walked out of the subway.
Ye Zi had been on this road many times in the past few days. However, every time she passed, she felt as if there was a huge stone in her chest, and she couldn't breathe.
Li Xue's death.
The owner of half a footprint.
The mysterious person who called Ren Tianye.
These problems were like tangled threads that couldn't be cut and sorted out, densely entangled in Ye Zi's mind. They pulled and balanced each other, making Ye Zi feel that her temples were throbbing. There was an indescribable feeling.
Li Xue was just a university student at the time.
His father, on the other hand, was a retired police officer.
The two of them didn't seem to be related at all …
Ye Zi stood under a withered pagoda tree, allowing the sparse withered leaves to fall on her body.
The withered leaves that had lost their vitality fell on the white cashmere coat Ye Zi was wearing. It was especially eye-catching.
She paused for a moment before her phone rang.
It was a call from Lin Yan. When Ye Zi looked at the time, it was already 7: 30 pm. She quickly answered the call, and Lin Yan's anxious voice came through the phone. "Where are you?"
Ye Zi said, "I took the wrong subway on Mingshi Road."
"Idiot." Lin Yan's voice carried a hint of sweet reproach.
Not long after, the car's headlights dazzled Ye Zi's eyes. Then, an Audi Q7 suddenly stopped in front of Ye Zi.
Lin Yan got out of the car. Under the moonlight, his figure looked particularly slender. He came against the moonlight, as if he was plated with a faint layer of silver light. Because of this, his shoulders were broad, his waist was narrow, and his legs were long.
He stopped in front of Ye Zi, and his thin lips parted slightly as he said gently, "How can I be at ease leaving you alone at home? You might even take the wrong subway."
Lin Yan shook his head helplessly. The corners of his lips curled up slightly as he reached out to brush away the leaves on Ye Zi's body. He held her hand and walked over to the car.
Ye Zi blinked and asked Lin Yan, "Why are you here so soon?"
"I just came out of the company and passed by here. I wanted to ask if you had eaten tonight, but I heard that you were nearby, so I came to look for you." Lin Yan fastened the seatbelt for Ye Zi. "You didn't eat tonight, did you?"
Ye Zi nodded slightly. Just as she was about to speak, her stomach growled first.
She smiled awkwardly at Lin Yan.
Lin Yan reached out and messed up her bangs. "You're really a worrying idiot."
He turned the car around and drove into the busy section of the road. Lin Yan drove her to a nearby restaurant, and the two of them got out of the car.
Lin Yan locked the car door and walked into a small barbecue restaurant with Ye Zi.
Standing at the door, Ye Zi was stunned. When did Mr. Lin change his taste? He actually brought her here to eat barbecue.
For someone like Lin Yan, even if it was just for breakfast, he would go to a five-star hotel restaurant to eat. How could he …
Lin Yan looked at the expression on Ye Zi's face and smiled faintly. The two of them sat down in relief. The waiter came over.
The waiter was an auntie in her late fifties. When she saw Lin Yan, a bright smile appeared on her face. "Mr. Lin, why are you here?"
She saw Ye Zi again. Her eyes swept over her body and she asked, "This is?"
"My girlfriend." Lin Yan blurted out.
This made Ye Zi's heart happy. She smiled sweetly at the auntie and nodded.
The auntie was quite surprised. "This is the first time Mr. Lin has brought a girl here. What do you want to eat today? I'll give you a 20% discount."
Lin Yan smiled and said, "It's still the same."
"That's good. Please wait a moment."
Ye Zi was very curious. She moved in front of Lin Yan and looked at Lin Yan with a pair of clear eyes. She smiled and asked, "Mr. Lin, you're really hard to see through! When did you come to such a small restaurant to eat? Why didn't I know? "
Lin Yan wiped the plate and chopsticks with a tissue and placed it in front of Ye Zi. "Boss, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang were the parents of my former driver. Little Zhang had an accident a few years ago …"
Lin Yan slightly pursed his lips. He seemed to be very unwilling to mention this matter.
After a moment of silence, Lin Yan said, "Before Little Zhang died, he begged me to take care of Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang. I originally wanted to give them a sum of money, but they refused. They opened this small restaurant here and could make a living. "
"He did it for you …"
Without waiting for Ye Zi to finish her sentence, Lin Yan nodded.
"Mr. Lin, everything you ordered is here."
As they spoke, Auntie Zhang brought over some food. Ye Zi saw that it suited her appetite, so she picked up a skewer and started munching on it.
Aunt Zhang looked at Ye Zi and smiled. "This girl has a good appetite. She's not like those girls who are pretentious and pretentious. "
"Hehe." Ye Zi looked at Aunt Zhang and smiled. "Aunt Zhang, the food here is really delicious."
"Eat more if you like it." Aunt Zhang smiled. Seeing a few more customers walk in, she said, "You guys continue eating. I'll go and greet the other customers."
"Bang!"
Ye Zi was eating happily when suddenly, a beer bottle in front of her exploded. Beer bubbles burst out.
Lin Yan slightly frowned and turned to look at the next table. He saw a young man with dyed blonde hair pointing at Aunt Zhang and scolding, "Are you blind? The clothes I'm wearing cost a thousand yuan. Can you afford it?! "
Aunt Zhang looked apologetic and apologized to the blonde, "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it."
"If you didn't mean it, then let me try not doing it on purpose." The blonde said as he picked up the skewers on the table and threw them at Aunt Zhang.
Aunt Zhang did not manage to dodge in time and was covered in oil stains.
Just as Lin Yan was about to get up, he saw a flask fly out from beside him and hit the blonde on the head. It looked like a hat had been put on him.
The blonde turned his head and looked at Lin Yan and Ye Zi.
This shaobing was a gift from Ye Zi.
Ye Zi walked towards the blonde as she ate the skewers. She stood beside Aunt Zhang and stared at the blonde coldly. She said coldly, "Apologize!"
Aunt Zhang was a little scared and said to Ye Zi, "It's okay, it's okay. I was careless just now."
Ye Zi did not listen to Aunt Zhang and continued to say to the blonde, "Apologize."
"F * ck, you want me to apologize? I think you're …"
Before the blonde could finish his sentence, Ye Zi quickly squatted down and picked up the skewers on the ground. She threw them at the blonde.
The blonde did not dodge in time and his clothes, which cost a thousand yuan, were immediately stained with grease.
"B * tch, you're asking for it!"
The blonde was furious. He raised his hand and slapped Ye Zi's face.
Ye Zi didn't dodge. When the yellow-haired man slapped her, she quickly raised her hand and the bamboo skewer in her hand stabbed into the yellow-haired man's palm.
"Ouch!"
The yellow-hair could not help but cry out in pain.
Ye Zi looked at him coldly and said word by word, "I! Let! You! Dao! Apologize! "
The blonde only cared about his hand and did not hear Ye Zi's words. However, his companion beside him started to make things difficult for Ye Zi. He picked up a beer bottle and aimed it at Ye Zi's head.
Luckily, Lin Yan's hand was as fast as lightning. He kicked the blonde's chest and sent him flying.
Seeing this, the blonde's companions were enraged. They picked up stools and beer bottles and charged at Lin Yan.
Lin Yan stood in front of Ye Zi and Aunt Zhang. One against four, he subdued them one by one.
He looked down at the blondie and said, "Did you hear what she said just now?!"
The blonde was timid. He swallowed hard and nodded at Lin Yan.
"Then hurry up and apologize!" Lin Yan's eyes darkened.
The blonde trembled as he got up from the ground and bowed deeply to Aunt Zhang. "I-I'm sorry."
Aunt Zhang looked troubled. "It's okay."
The blonde and his companions turned to leave.
But at this moment, Lin Yan suddenly said, "Stop right there!"
The blonde and his companions were trembling in fear. He turned around and looked at Lin Yan. "What other orders do you have?!"
