Ye Zi's amber eyes suddenly narrowed and she slowly raised her eyes. She was not only startled, but Lin Yan had appeared out of nowhere and grabbed the knife in Tingting's hand that was less than five centimeters away from Ye Zi.
The sudden appearance of the man made everyone who was watching the show come back to their senses. This was not the original plot. In an instant, someone rushed up and pulled Tingting away.
"Let me go, let me go …" Tingting's voice was close to a roar. She struggled with all her might but it was all in vain. Her legs kicked backwards and she was carried away.
Ye Zi hurriedly rushed to Lin Yan's front. Her delicate brows were tightly knitted as she looked at him anxiously. "Are you okay?"
Lin Yan lowered his hand and there was not the slightest expression on his cold face. Ye Zi anxiously grabbed his hand but he suddenly flung it away. His thin lips slightly opened and he said in a cold voice, "I'm fine."
"You're bleeding a lot. Hurry to the hospital …"
"I said I'm fine!" Lin Yan's voice was as cold as frost. His distant but sharp gaze swept over Ye Zi.
Ye Zi looked up and met Lin Yan's gaze. She slightly furrowed her brows and asked curiously, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"You …"
Lin Yan's gaze slowly moved down and stopped at Ye Zi's chest.
Although Ye Zi had just taken out two silicone pads from her chest, the asymmetry on the left and right sides was still very obvious.
Ye Zi followed Lin Yan's gaze to her chest and suddenly understood why Lin Yan was staring at her like that. She hurriedly raised her hand to protect her chest. "You're not allowed to look!"
Lin Yan's eyes slightly narrowed as he said indifferently, "You've solved the case. According to the previous agreement, I will transfer the rest of the reward to you."
After saying that, he turned around and left under everyone's shocked gaze.
Ye Zi stood where she was and looked at Lin Yan's hand that was hanging down. Blood kept dripping down.
"He saved me just now …"
Ye Zi kept muttering to herself. She ignored the reporters surrounding her and ran through the crowd toward Lin Yan.
After leaving Yu Feng, Ye Zi watched as Lin Yan got into his black Jeep Cherokee and sped away.
Ye Zi stood rooted to the ground, her eyes filled with a sense of loss. Was this man's brain damaged?
Previously, he insisted on helping her in the detective agency, and now he saved her.
Moreover, his hand … Was it really okay?
"Ye Zi." Qin Fengchi followed Ye Zi out of the "Yufeng" film production office and called her from behind.
Hearing this, Ye Zi turned her head and asked with a frown, "What's wrong? The police should deal with the aftermath. "
"Did you already know that Tingting was the real culprit who hurt the other actresses?" Qin Fengchi lowered his head. His long bangs covered most of his face, so no one could tell what he was thinking.
Ye Zi pursed her lips and nodded silently.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Qin Fengchi asked in a low voice.
Ye Zi had accidentally discovered that Tingting was the real culprit. Through Chen Mo's notebook, she thought that all the actresses' injuries were related to Qin Fengchi. Moreover, the severity of their injuries was determined by how intimate they were with Qin Fengchi during filming.
Ye Zi concluded that this matter might have been done by a girl who liked Qin Fengchi. That was why she had said those words in front of Tingting. However, what Ye Zi hadn't expected was that Tingting would do something so extreme.
Ye Zi looked at Qin Fengchi, whose eyes were filled with tears. She didn't know what to say to comfort him.
He didn't hurt the people, but the people were hurt because of him.
The sad real culprit, poor Qin Fengchi.
Ye Zi walked straight to Qin Fengchi, raised her hand and patted him on the shoulder. She shook her head and sighed like an old pedant, then walked into the "Yu Feng" film production company.
When she was changing clothes, the image of Lin Yan saving her kept appearing in Ye Zi's mind.
His tall and straight figure stood in front of the petite Lin Yan like a towering mountain. Lin Yan's white and slender hands were so strong, tightly holding onto the sharp blade.
Thump, thump, thump …
Ye Zi could clearly hear her own heartbeat.
She hurriedly shook her head hard. Water droplets splashed around, and she threw Lin Yan's appearance out of her mind.
When she left the "Yu Feng" film production company, it was already dusk. The orange sunset was like a salted egg yolk, hanging in the distant sky. The clear sunset shone on the earth, warm and comfortable.
As soon as she returned to the "Scented Knowledge" detective agency, Ye Zi welcomed an important guest — Chen Mo.
"You should be happy to be in the limelight today. Why do you have such an expression on your face?" Chen Mo leaned against the door frame, looking at Ye Zi with a smile.
Hearing this, Ye Zi's face turned red. If it weren't for Chen Mo's notes, how could she have caught the culprit in such a short time?
She stuck out her tongue, smiled, and said, "Brother Chen Mo, don't make fun of me."
Chen Mo walked straight to Ye Zi, sat down, and stretched out his hand in front of her, "Can you give it back to me?"
"Give what back to you?" Ye Zi asked, even though she already knew the answer.
Chen Mo smiled and slightly raised his eyebrows, "The culprit has been caught, and you still want to take my notes?"
Ye Zi seemed to have been caught in the same foot. She reluctantly took out Chen Mo's notebook from her backpack, and said, "It's not something good. I don't want it."
Chen Mo took the notebook with a smile and put it in his backpack, "I solved one of the clues, and it can be considered as comforting to the master's soul in heaven. Tonight, it's your treat."
"P-treat?" Ye Zi was stunned for a moment, "Why should I treat? You suddenly left, and I haven't settled the score with you yet."
"Okay, okay, my little lady, it's still my treat today." Chen Mo got up, turned his head to the door, and gestured for her to leave. "Let's go, I've been hungry all day."
At night in Binhai City, the neon lights were shining, and it had a unique charm. The street food was very popular among young people nowadays.
Ever since Chen Mo graduated from the police academy and was assigned to work for his father, Ye Zi often came to the same food stall with him. Every time, Ye Zi would call it a treat, but she had never once paid for it.
"Boss, give me twenty skewers, ten kidneys, a plate of Hua Mao, and two Yanjing beers." Chen Mo wiped the plates and glasses with a napkin, and handed them to Ye Zi.
Not long after, the food they ordered was delivered. Ye Zi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, picked up a mutton skewer, and started eating heartily. A mouthful of cold and refreshing beer entered her stomach, and she felt that it could wash away some of her fatigue.
"It tastes great." Ye Zi smacked her lips and said with a smile.
Chen Mo liked watching Ye Zi eat. It seemed that he could eat more when he ate with her. He picked up her favorite edamame with his chopsticks, and said, "Eat slowly, no one is going to take it from you."
"Hehe." Ye Zi grinned and said, "Brother Chen Mo, you've been gone for a year, and you didn't bring back a sister-in-law."
Sister-in-law.
Chen Mo was slightly stunned when he heard that. His eyes that were staring at Ye Zi suddenly flashed, and he curled his lips into a faint smile. "I'm busy with work, and I don't have time to solve my personal problems. Why, do you have a good introduction?"
"What do you think of Panda?" Ye Zi picked up a skewer of lamb and asked while eating.
Panda.
Chen Mo was stunned again. This girl was still so slow.
He raised his hand to cover his forehead, so no one could tell what he was thinking. "Forget it."
Looking at the expression on Chen Mo's face, Ye Zi's curiosity was aroused. She raised her eyebrows slightly and asked with a smile, "Brother Chen Mo, do you have someone you like?"
Chen Mo's eyes widened, and his whole body trembled. Could it be that this girl was finally enlightened?
He smiled and raised his hand to touch his chin that was full of stubble. He didn't answer, but his expression was enough to explain the problem.
However, Ye Zi didn't notice anything strange. After asking that question, she lowered her head and continued to eat.
Chen Mo's smile froze on his face. Looking at her expression, she still didn't understand. He couldn't help but twitch his lips and shake his head helplessly.
Ye Zi didn't notice the minute changes in Chen Mo's expression. Not long after, she swept through the table full of skewers and burped. That damned man's face suddenly appeared in her mind.
His hand was injured today. Did he eat anything tonight?
Thinking of this, Ye Zi raised her hand and called for the owner. "Give me another 20 skewers … Mm … Two chicken wings …"
She thought about it. Because Lin Yan's hand was injured, she thought that she might not be able to eat spicy food, so she added. "Don't put too much chilli."
"Isn't this enough?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.
Ye Zi's eyes narrowed. "I've had enough. Brother Chen Mo, I still have something to do. You eat first. I'll be leaving now. Remember to pay the bill."
After speaking, Ye Zi got up and ran to the owner's side. She put the lamb skewers that she had just roasted into her pocket and flagged down a taxi by the roadside. She went straight to Xing Lan Condominium.
Chen Mo lowered his eyes and smiled faintly. She was always so impatient.
"Ding dong."
Ye Zi rang the doorbell of Lin Yan's house, but there was no response for a long time.
Could it be that his hand injury was too serious and he was in the hospital?
Just as she was thinking about it, the door creaked open. Lin Yan stood in front of Ye Zi in his pajamas. His tall and straight figure enveloped her. He was cold and affectionate. His thin lips were slightly pale as he asked in a distant voice, "Did you forget your keys?"
"Erm …" Ye Zi's lips twitched slightly. She raised her hand and handed a bag of lamb skewers to Lin Yan. "Here, it's for you."
Lin Yan's cold and sharp gaze glanced at the food in Ye Zi's hand coldly and said indifferently, "I don't eat trash like this."
As expected, Ye Zi seemed to have known that Lin Yan would say this.
She wrinkled her nose gently as a fragrant aroma wafted out. Even though his hand was injured, he could still cook food.
