That night, Ye Zi tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep.
She kept feeling as if there was a huge rock pressing down on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe.
Ye Zi turned over, but Lin Yan wasn't by her side. She sat up and looked out the window at the night sky. After the first snow, there were many hanging branches on the treetops. It looked as beautiful as the laurel trees in the Moon Palace.
But Ye Zi wasn't in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery outside the window.
She curled up her body and leaned against the headboard. She hugged her knees and buried her head low.
She stayed in this position for a long time until Ye Zi felt that her legs were a little numb. Then she slowly stood up. Outside the door came the sound of rapid typing on a keyboard. Ye Zi walked to the door and wanted to open it, but her hand, which was suspended in mid-air, finally dropped down.
She turned to the window and opened it. Suddenly, a gust of cold and fresh air flowed into the room.
Ye Zi closed her eyes. The cold air flowed into her nose and spread along the blood vessels in her body.
In a flash, Ye Zi slowly opened her eyes. The hot air she exhaled formed a meandering and curling breath in mid-air. The cold air made Ye Zi's mind more and more clear.
Her chaotic thoughts were like a tangled mess without a clue.
Ye Zi wanted to find the most important link — when did she start being spied on?
She narrowed her eyes slightly. Everything that had happened during this period of time flashed through Ye Zi's mind like a computer replay.
In a flash, she opened her eyes. She finally found the source of the matter.
The fire four years ago!!
Ever since her father was burned four years ago, her life had changed dramatically. She walked out of the ivory tower and shouldered the burden of the family all by herself.
It was also at this time that Ye Zi took over the Aroma Detective Agency.
Obviously, this person's target was the detective agency.
Ye Zi now suspected that this person might be the one who guided Ren Tianye to the detective agency.
Ye Zi narrowed her eyes. Just as she was about to close the window, a speck of light suddenly flashed past her face. She couldn't help but furrow her brows. Her amber-like eyes abruptly constricted in their sockets.
"Lin Yan!"
Ye Zi exclaimed.
Lin Yan, who was facing the computer in the living room, suddenly heard Ye Zi's scream. He quickly rushed over, pushed open the door, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
Ye Zi pointed at the opposite floor and said in a trembling voice, "Look! There, there … "
Lin Yan walked to Ye Zi's side and looked in the direction of Ye Zi's finger.
There were more than ten buildings in Xinglan Bay Apartments. Each building was about a hundred meters away from each other, so the opposite floor could be seen with the naked eye.
Lin Yan's eyes darkened. Obviously, on the opposite floor, although the curtains were closed, he could see through the gaps of the curtains that something seemed to be aiming at Ye Zi's house.
"Binoculars?!"
Lin Yan's face turned pale. This kind of binoculars could clearly observe Ye Zi's every move at home from such a distance.
Ye Zi's heart suddenly trembled. No wonder she had received a text from a stranger a few days ago. He had praised her for wearing a white cashmere coat and said that she looked beautiful.
She didn't know when she had started to be watched.
Then during this period of time …
Thump thump thump …
Ye Zi felt her heart beating like a drum. It was as if her heart was going to jump out of her throat in the next moment.
She subconsciously clenched her fists, her fingernails digging deep into her palms, leaving streaks of bloody marks. Ye Zi clenched her silver teeth tightly, letting out squeaking sounds.
"I want to see who he is!"
Ye Zi shouted angrily and turned to rush out of the bedroom.
Lin Yan hurriedly followed and grabbed Ye Zi's slender wrist. "Calm down."
Ye Zi suddenly broke free from Lin Yan's hand and raised her voice, shouting, "How can I calm down?! Panda was almost … How can I … "
"Can you listen to me first?"
Compared to Ye Zi, Lin Yan was exceptionally calm.
Lin Yan's thin lips parted slightly, his voice faint and low as he said, "Can I take care of this matter? Wait for me at home. "
"Lin Yan …"
Ye Zi was about to say something when she heard Lin Yan say, "Remember to lock the door."
Lin Yan's lips curved into a gentle and warm smile. He rubbed Ye Zi's head and smiled. "Trust me."
Ye Zi pursed her lips and her face was tense. She looked at Lin Yan without blinking. After a while, Ye Zi nodded to Lin Yan. "Be careful."
Lin Yan smiled faintly. "Thank you for your kindness."
…
The moment Lin Yan walked out of the house, his originally smiling face instantly turned as cold as frost. It was as though there was an eerie chill behind him.
He went straight to the opposite building. He had already observed the floor that was being spied on. After getting into the elevator, he went straight to the house where the binoculars were placed.
"Dong, dong, dong …"
Lin Yan banged on the door. In a flash, a rustling voice came from the door. "Who is it in the middle of the night?!"
"Squeak."
The moment the door opened, the man in the house saw a tall and straight man standing outside his house. He frowned and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for your father!"
Lin Yan cursed. Without any explanation, he lifted his leg and kicked the man in the chest.
"Bam!"
The man was like a kite with a broken string. He flew out instantly and hit the sofa in the house. Then, he fell to the ground.
"Ouch … Ouch …"
The man lay on the ground, his mouth constantly letting out wails like a pig being slaughtered.
Lin Yan walked straight over and picked the man up like he was picking up a chick. He carried the man into the bedroom and threw him on the ground.
There was indeed a pair of binoculars in the man's bedroom. It was aimed at the window of Ye Zi's bedroom. Lin Yan walked over and looked through the binoculars.
If Ye Zi hadn't drawn the curtains, he would have been able to see everything in the room.
Ye Zi was Lin Yan's woman.
He was also a man who was protective of his food. How could he tolerate his woman being spied on?
Lin Yan suddenly turned around. The man happened to rush behind Lin Yan. Lin Yan suddenly punched the man in the face.
Two streams of nosebleeds drew two perfect arcs in the air. Then, the man fell straight back. Lin Yan leaned over and glared at the man coldly. If it wasn't for the fact that his little woman was still scared at home, he would definitely let this man know what was fear and what was fear.
Lin Yan casually pulled off a piece of network cable and tied the man up like a dumpling. Then, he took out his phone and dialed the police number.
After the police arrived, Lin Yan truthfully told them what had happened. With the help of the police, Lin Yan found a lot of videotapes in the man's house. However, most of them were from the original residents. He didn't find any videotapes of Ye Zi being spied on.
"Are all the videotapes here?"
Lin Yan's gaze was as sharp as a sword as he stared at the man who had been beaten black and blue.
The man was completely afraid of Lin Yan's beating. He nodded his head vigorously and said, "All, all here."
He saw Lin Yan's murderous gaze and hurriedly explained, "I only found out that there was a beauty living in the opposite building in the past two days. I've been spying on the residents upstairs."
Lin Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at the police. "I'll leave him to you."
Then, Lin Yan turned around and left.
Ding dong.
The elevator stopped. Lin Yan had just stepped out of the elevator when he saw Ye Zi walking towards him.
"Why did you go out?" Lin Yan frowned. He had clearly told Ye Zi to wait for him at home and asked her to lock the doors and windows, but she was so disobedient.
Ye Zi narrowed her eyes, her gaze darkening. "How is it? Did you catch the culprit? "
Lin Yan said calmly, "It was just a peeping tom. It's not who you think it is."
Hearing Lin Yan's words, Ye Zi finally heaved a sigh of relief.
She closed her eyes, and her nervous heart was somewhat relieved. Lin Yan held her hand and patted it gently, comforting her, "It's okay. Everything will pass."
Ye Zi slowly opened her eyes and nodded.
At this moment, the door to the room next door suddenly opened. Jian Xia, wearing silk pajamas and a shawl, walked out from the room next door.
Jian Xia frowned when she saw Ye Zi and Lin Yan. "I heard you talking just now. Did something happen?"
Ye Zi shook her head and said gently, "It's just a small matter. Sorry to wake you up."
Jian Xia smiled and said, "No, Qin Chen is a little hungry. I'm cooking noodles. Do you want to eat together?"
Ye Zi had experienced a lot that night and did not eat much for dinner. Now that she heard Jian Xia was cooking noodles, she felt hungry. So she came down and walked next door with Lin Yan.
Jian Xia's face suddenly darkened when she heard about the peeping tom. "Did you catch the culprit?"
Ye Zi nodded and said, "Yes."
"That's good." Jian Xia said as she brought out two bowls of noodles from the kitchen and placed them on the dining table.
Ye Zi did not stand on ceremony. She picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
After finishing the noodles, Ye Zi leaned against the door frame and watched Jian Xia wash the dishes. She stole a glance at the living room. Seeing that Lin Yan was not paying attention to her, Ye Zi lowered her voice and asked Jian Xia, "Do you know how Qin Chen got injured?"
Jian Xia stopped what she was doing and turned to look at Ye Zi. She shook her head slightly and said, "Qin Chen refused to tell me. But I think it's not that simple. Maybe it has something to do with the murder that the police said. "
Ye Zi had the same thoughts. She nodded at Jian Xia and thought for a while. "Did Qin Chen tell you what happened?"
Jian Xia shook her head. "I asked him, but he refused to tell me."
"He's suspected of murder! This is not a small matter. " Ye Zi's face darkened. She pursed her lips and said, "Why don't we help investigate?"
Jian Xia had the same idea. She quickly nodded and said, "I think so too."
She was afraid that Lin Yan and Qin Chen would hear her, so she glanced in the direction of the living room. Then she looked away and said to Ye Zi in a low voice, "I'll look for you tomorrow morning."
Ye Zi nodded and suddenly thought of something. "Oh, right. Don't go back to the detective agency for a while."
"Why?" Jian Xia looked at Ye Zi in confusion.
Ye Zi lowered her eyelids, and the darkness in her eyes spread out. She didn't know how to explain it to Jian Xia, so she pursed her lips and shook her head. Her voice was a little hoarse as she said, "It's nothing, I just want you to take good care of Qin Chen." Since you love to watch, how could you not follow this public account. She searched:
