"Miss, Miss, are you okay?"
Xing Zhisen looked at Ye Zi, whose face was as pale as a sheet. He thought she was possessed and hurriedly waved his hand in front of her.
Suddenly, Ye Zi grabbed Xing Zhisen's wrist and widened her eyes. Her amber pupils constricted and she said in a hoarse voice, "What did you just say?! Li Xue dated Ren Tianye before?! "
Xing Zhisen looked at Ye Zi and nodded woodenly.
Ye Zi suddenly felt as if her heart was ruthlessly stabbed by a sharp knife. The wound was dripping, and the flesh was badly mangled.
Was it all a scam from the beginning?!
She panted heavily and it took a long time for her to regain her composure.
Ye Zi took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She squeezed out an ugly smile and nodded slightly at Xing Zhisen. "Mr. Xing, thank you for your answer."
Walking on the small path, it was quiet and still. The sunlight shone on the thin layer of snow. The white light was a little dazzling. Looking from afar, the snow on both sides of the small path looked like white satin.
The air was cold and Ye Zi's cheeks were slightly red. Walking out of the path, Ye Zi stood at the bus stop, waiting for the bus to go home.
Her expression had always been pale. Her face, which was already fair and clear, seemed even whiter and thinner under the reflection of the white snow.
Beep, beep, beep …
Far away, the sound of the bus horn made Ye Zi raise her eyelashes.
She seemed to be thinking about something and didn't notice that the bus wasn't going to Xinglan Bay Apartments.
There were not many people on the bus, and there were only two or three kittens. She found a seat and sat down. Beside her was a young couple who were still wearing the school uniform of a nearby high school. The two of them whispered to each other and laughed loudly.
"Tsk!"
Her mother-in-law, who was sitting behind Ye Zi, couldn't stand it anymore. She lowered her voice and murmured, "These young people nowadays …"
Ye Zi turned her head and glanced at her mother-in-law. When she turned back, she caught a glimpse of the bus number and realized that she had gotten on the wrong bus.
She was ready to get off at the next stop. When the bus stopped, the young couple got up and wanted to get off. The two of them were frolicking and blocking Ye Zi from getting off. After the two of them got off the bus, the mother-in-law found an opening and got off.
Then the bus door closed, so Ye Zi couldn't get off.
Since she had already gotten on the wrong bus, she might as well get off at the next stop.
Ye Zi returned to her seat and suddenly realized that there was a black leather bag on the seat she had just left.
She frowned and looked around. There was only her and another girl on the bus. The black leather bag was clearly not the type a girl would use.
Ye Zi sat down and picked up her handbag. Because she wanted to contact the owner, she opened the handbag. However, what she saw made her scalp go numb.
There was nothing else in the bag, only a thick stack of photos.
There was only one person in the photos.
It was her!
Ye Zi felt all the hairs on her body stand on end.
The photos in the bag were obviously taken secretly. They showed Ye Zi's movements from the moment she left the house to the moment she got on the bus.
She was being followed!
Ye Zi frowned hard. She hadn't even realized that she was being followed!
Her vigilance was excellent. Even Chen Mo admired her tracking and anti-tracking skills, but today …
Ye Zi was actually being followed by someone!
Her heart suddenly froze. The blood in her hands and feet instantly returned to her heart.
Ye Zi felt her breathing stop. She hurriedly stuffed the photos into the bag and turned to look out of the window. However, there was no one on the road.
She narrowed her eyes and large beads of sweat rolled down her forehead.
Ring, ring, ring …
Suddenly, an anxious ringtone sounded, startling Ye Zi so much that she couldn't help but shiver.
Her hand couldn't stop shaking as she took out her phone. Seeing that it was Lin Yan calling, she let out a sigh of relief.
"Honey, where are you?"
After the call was connected, Lin Yan's deep and magnetic voice came through. Her nervous expression instantly changed.
Ye Zi took a deep breath and calmed herself down. "I went back to the detective agency to find some information. I'm on the bus home now."
Lin Yan said, "Your sister came to Lin Group."
"Xiao Rou?!" Ye Zi frowned slightly. "What's she doing there?"
"She wants me to arrange a job for her." There seemed to be a smile in Lin Yan's voice.
Ye Zi raised her hand to her forehead. It wasn't that Ye Zi didn't know what Ye Xinrou was thinking about Lin Yan, but there was nothing she could do. Ye Xinrou had always dreamed of being a star. Now, she finally stopped thinking about it, and it was time for her senior year to start her internship.
After thinking about it, Ye Zi said, "Okay, arrange a job for her. At least this way, she won't mess around outside."
"Okay. I'll be home a little late tonight. "
"Okay."
"Lin Yan …"
Just as Lin Yan was about to hang up, Ye Zi suddenly called out to him.
"Huh?" Lin Yan's deep voice poured into Ye Zi's ears. "What's wrong?"
Ye Zi was silent for a moment, and a bitter smile appeared on her lips. She looked at the photo in her hand and said lightly, "Nothing. Drive safely."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Zi got off at the next bus stop.
It was already very far from Xinglan Bay Apartments. Ye Zi didn't want to take the bus anymore, so she stood by the side of the road and stopped a taxi to return to Xinglan Bay Apartments.
Ye Zi's heart was still heavy. She looked at the thick stack of photos and frowned deeply.
She bit her lower lip. After a long time, she found Lin Yan's lighter in the living room, walked into the bathroom, and burned all the photos.
As for the black leather bag, she casually threw it into the trash can.
Ye Zi didn't have any appetite today. Although Lin Yan stayed in the company to work overtime, he still prepared dinner for her. Looking at the food on the table, Ye Zi's eyes were solemn.
Knock, knock, knock.
There was a knock on the door. Ye Zi glanced at the door, got up, and walked to the door. After opening the door, she saw Chen Mo standing at the door.
Ye Zi was slightly stunned. She frowned and asked, "Brother Chen Mo, why are you here?"
"Why? You don't welcome me? "Chen Mo had a smile on his face as he joked.
Ye Zi turned sideways and welcomed Chen Mo into the door. "What would you like to drink?"
Chen Mo said, "No need. I came because I have some questions to ask you."
"Is it about Ren Tianye?" Ye Zi blurted out.
Chen Mo was slightly stunned, and then he shook his head. "No, it's about Qin Chen."
"Qin Chen?" Ye Zi's frown deepened.
She took a bottle of water and placed it in front of Chen Mo. Then, she sat down beside Chen Mo. She could clearly feel that there was a thick layer of clouds around Chen Mo, as if a storm would start in the next second.
Chen Mo picked up the bottle of mineral water, opened the lid, and took a light sip. He then placed the cup on the coffee table. Only then did he raise his eyes to look at Ye Zi and ask, "Did Qin Chen contact you during this period of time?"
Ye Zi shook her head. "No. What did he do? Who did he kill? "
"Little girl, you know that these are confidential cases of the police. We can't tell you. Moreover, with your relationship with Qin Chen …" Chen Mo was silent for a moment before he said, "It's better if you don't intervene in this case. Otherwise, even if you find some clues, I'm afraid we can't use them."
Ye Zi understood Chen Mo's concerns. She nodded and said, "I understand."
Chen Mo patted Ye Zi's shoulder and said with a smile, "It's good that you understand."
After a while, Chen Mo took out a notebook from his bag. "Little girl, did you see Qin Chen on the 13th of this month?"
Ye Zi thought for a moment. Her fair and slender fingers gently touched her chin. "It's been half a month. I don't remember."
Of course, Ye Zi was lying.
That day, Qin Chen appeared outside her house covered in blood. This incident was shocking enough. How could she forget it?
"What about Lin Yan? Was he at home that day? "Chen Mo asked again.
Ye Zi glanced at Chen Mo. It was obvious that Chen Mo wanted to get the answer he wanted from Ye Zi.
Ye Zi thought for a moment and said, "The 13th of last month …"
She took out her phone and looked at it. "It was Sunday. Lin Yan should be at home. He stays at home with me every Saturday and Sunday. "
After hearing Ye Zi's answer, Chen Mo couldn't help but frown slightly. His face darkened. "Are you sure?"
Ye Zi nodded. "I'm sure."
"Didn't Lin Yan go out?" Chen Mo continued to ask.
Ye Zi replied, "No."
Chen Mo's face turned extremely gloomy. He clenched his fists and asked Ye Zi word by word, "Didn't you just say that you don't remember what happened half a month ago? But why are you so sure that Lin Yan didn't leave home?! "
"I …"
Ye Zi was stunned. She frowned slightly and quickly thought of a countermeasure.
After a moment of silence, Ye Zi smiled faintly and said, "Because Lin Yan usually doesn't go out on the sixth of next week."
She picked up the teapot on the coffee table and poured herself a cup of tea. She took a sip and said, "Brother Chen Mo, if you don't believe me, you can look at the neighborhood's surveillance footage. You'll know if Lin Yan left."
Chen Mo's face became gentle and calm. He thought about it and curled his lips. He smiled faintly and didn't continue to ask.
"Little girl, you've changed."
Chen Mo closed the notebook in his hand and said with a smile, "You've become more mature."
Ye Zi frowned and looked up at Chen Mo's tall figure. Although it was close, it seemed that the distance between the two of them was getting farther and farther.
It was as if the two of them were separated by an entire galaxy.
Ye Zi smiled faintly and said calmly, "Isn't maturity a good thing?"
"Heh." Chen Mo curled his lips and said indifferently, "Maybe it's a good thing for others, but for you …"
"Brother Chen Mo, don't tell me you still think that I'm the little girl who follows you around all day?"
Ye Zi shrugged helplessly and said with a smile, "Please, I'm already 22 years old."
Chen Mo stood up and gently patted Ye Zi's shoulder. "Okay, I'll leave first. If Qin Chen contacts you, give me a call. You must believe the police. If Qin Chen is innocent, we will definitely help him."
"I understand."
After sending off Chen Mo, Ye Zi breathed a sigh of relief. She leaned against the door and looked at the number displayed on the elevator.
After "1", Ye Zi turned around and walked to the next door.
She knocked on the door. Qin Chen was wrapped in bandages and looked like a mummy. He held an apple in his hand and opened the door. When he saw Ye Zi, he raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Are you looking for me?" How could you not follow this WeChat account?
