The sky was getting dark, and Ye Zi didn't know where she was. The empty surroundings were filled with loneliness. Occasionally, she could hear the chirping of insects and birds. It was especially frightening.
"There can't be wolves here, right?!"
Ye Zi swallowed hard and subconsciously tightened her grip on the backpack in her hand.
"Miss …"
Suddenly, a buzzing sound came from behind her.
"Ah!" Ye Zi suddenly exclaimed. She hurriedly squatted on the ground and mumbled, "Heaven's spirit, earth's spirit, Queen Mother of the West is fast approaching, demons and ghosts have nowhere to hide."
"Miss."
Someone lightly patted Ye Zi's shoulder. She suddenly shivered, "Holy Lord Jesus, Amen, I, I warn you, I can exorcise ghosts …"
"Ghost?" The person was slightly suspicious and asked in a deep voice, "Miss, are you okay?"
Ye Zi trembled and raised her head. She saw the face of a middle-aged man. She stretched out a finger and gently poked the man's face. Feeling the warmth on his skin, she suddenly let out a sigh of relief, "Please uncle, people can be scared to death by scaring people."
The middle-aged man felt like laughing. He pointed at the car behind Ye Zi, "Miss, you are blocking our way."
"Uncle, where is this?" Ye Zi slowly got up, her attitude became extremely gentle.
The man said, "Ming Hui Garden Villa."
'Damn Lin Yan, he actually sent me here for no reason.'
Ye Zi clenched her teeth and cursed all of Lin Yan's ancestors in her heart.
"Uncle, how can I get back to the city?" Ye Zi blinked her pair of big innocent eyes.
"At this time, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for you to get a taxi," the middle-aged man replied.
At this time, a head popped out from the Mercedes-Benz behind them and shouted with a warm and angry voice, "Old Zhang, what are you dilly-dallying for? Hurry up and drive. "
The middle-aged man who was called Old Zhang nodded, "I'm sorry, Miss, please let us go. We want to go out."
"Uncle, can you give me a ride?" Ye Zi asked tentatively.
Old Zhang turned his head and glanced at the car behind him. "Miss, I'm just a driver. If you want a ride, you should ask my husband."
Ye Zi glanced at the man in the car and nodded with a friendly smile. "Hello, sir. I'm lost. I wonder if I can give you a ride out of here?"
The man glanced at Ye Zi. She had a delicate baby face, her eyes curved into the shape of a crescent moon, and there were two small dimples at the corner of her lips, giving people a feeling of being bathed in the spring breeze.
He only smiled faintly, which could be considered as a response to Ye Zi.
Ye Zi was overjoyed. She could finally leave this damned place. She would settle the score with that damned Lin Yan when she got home.
She obediently sat in the car, and from time to time, she secretly looked at the strange man sitting next to her.
"How should I address you, Miss?" The man finally spoke.
Ye Zi tilted her head and still had a smile on her face. "Ye Zi."
"This is my business card." The man said and handed a business card to Ye Zi.
Ye Zi took a look and couldn't help but frown. "Mu Tianlong!"
"Is there a problem?" Mu Tianlong asked doubtfully.
"No problem, no problem …"
Oh my god. She was just about to look for Mu Tianlong, but she didn't expect this guy to come to her door.
"That …" Ye Zi smiled awkwardly. "May I ask if Mu Tianjiao is your …"
Mu Tianlong's face suddenly changed when he heard that. His originally warm gaze instantly became extremely sharp. "Who are you?! Are you a reporter or … "
"Don't misunderstand." Ye Zi quickly explained, "I'm a detective from the" Scent Detection "Club. I was hired by Mr. Andrew Lim to investigate when Mr. Lin and Miss Mu were threatened. I don't know …"
"Bang!"
Before Ye Zi could finish her words, the car suddenly stopped. Then, she was "invited" to get out of the car.
The night breeze was gentle. In the quiet night, there was only a lonely figure walking under the silvery moonlight.
"Damn it, I just asked a question. Did you have to push me out of the car?!"
She muttered along the way, feeling depressed. If she knew that she would be kicked out of the car, she wouldn't have asked about Mu Tianjiao.
Now, she had to walk back to the city center. How long would it take?
With a "poof" sound, Ye Zi felt that she had stepped on something sticky. She looked down and saw that she had stepped on dog poop.
"Damn it!" Ye Zi couldn't help but curse.
How could she be so unlucky!
Lin Yan, Lin Yan …
Damn that man!
As Ye Zi rubbed the dog poop under her feet, she cursed Lin Yan in her heart.
"God, can you be any more vicious? I'm walking back to the city. Can you still … "
"Crack!"
Suddenly, a light flashed in the sky. The lightning was like a swimming dragon, swimming in the dark night sky, making people feel a sense of suffocation and awe.
Ye Zi couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. "I was wrong, I was wrong. Please don't let the lightning strike me."
Drip … drip …
The next second, something even more tragic happened.
Raindrops the size of soybeans fell from the sky and hit Ye Zi's forehead.
"It can't be!" Ye Zi sighed and raised her hand to touch her forehead. It really was raining … ….
Hualala …
In an instant, the heavy rain connected the sky and the earth into a line. From afar, it looked like a little person climbing the mountain road. She had nowhere to hide, nowhere to hide. She could only let the heavy rain wash her body and mind.
Although it was summer, the night rain was still frighteningly cold. Ye Zi's whole body was already wet.
Her upper teeth bumped into her lower teeth, making a "da da" sound.
The road was difficult to walk in the night rain. She didn't walk far when she accidentally sprained her ankle. She fell to the ground and hurt her butt.
"Ouch …"
The corner of Ye Zi's mouth twitched as she clutched her ankle.
All of this was thanks to Lin Yan. If he didn't send her to this damn place, she might be at home taking a hot bath and eating instant noodles.
How could it be like now, drenched in the rain, hungry, stepping on dog poop, spraining her ankle.
She wanted to cry but no tears came out!
Ye Zi felt that meeting Lin Yan was the most tragic thing that happened to her in the past 22 years.
"Jinx!"
Ye Zi cursed. "Lin Yan, you bastard."
Suddenly, two streaks of light on the road pierced Ye Zi's eyes. Soon, the headlights lit up the road ahead.
Ye Zi was overjoyed. She had finally met someone.
She staggered to her feet and waved at the car with all her might.
Screech …
The wheels rubbed against the ground, giving off an ear-piercing sound. Then, a black Jeep Cherokee stopped in front of Ye Zi.
The car window rolled down slowly, and a face that was even more devilish than a demon peeked out from the car window. The corner of his lips held a hint of mockery, and his thin lips parted slightly as he mocked, "I think I heard someone scolding me just now! It can't be you, right? "
Ye Zi was furious. Just as she was about to curse, she looked around and realized that Lin Yan was the only one in the wilderness. It would be better for him to send her back than to spend the night here.
Thinking up to here, Ye Zi's violent rage was slightly extinguished. She put on a fawning smile, her teeth chattering as she said, "How, how could it be, who, who, who dares, scold, scold you?"
Ye Zi cupped her fists and shivered in the cold. "C-Can I … Can I … Get in the car first?"
Lin Yan curled his lips into a faint smile and opened the car door.
Ye Zi's drenched white shirt accentuated her curvaceous figure. Feeling the warmth in the car, her pale face finally recovered a little.
Lin Yan threw a towel over Ye Zi's head. "Don't get my car wet."
Ye Zi rolled her eyes at Lin Yan. She was drenched all over. It would be weird if she didn't wet his car.
"Achoo … Achoo …"
She sneezed more than ten times, her body shaking like a leaf.
Lin Yan glanced sideways at Ye Zi with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
He had a serious obsession with cleanliness. Not to mention a woman drenching his car, Ye Zi was the first person to even sit in his car.
Lin Yan was about to say something when he realized that the woman, who was drenched and shivering, had already fallen asleep.
He smiled bitterly and shook his head. He picked up his suit jacket from the back seat and for the first time, covered the woman with his clothes.
Then, Lin Yan slammed his foot on the accelerator. The black Jeep Cherokee sped along the highway like a bolt of black lightning.
Xinglan Bay Apartments's underground carpark.
Lin Yan wanted to wake Ye Zi up, but he realized that she was talking nonsense in her sleep. He touched her forehead. He didn't expect this woman to have a fever.
It made sense. Anyone who had walked in the rain for such a long time in the wilderness would definitely catch a cold.
Lin Yan had no choice but to carry Ye Zi out of the car and into the elevator.
This woman didn't look like she was fat, but she was really heavy.
Lin Yan carried Ye Zi back to his home and placed her on the sofa in the living room.
The clothes on his body were all drenched by Ye Zi. Just as he got up and wanted to go to the cloakroom to change his clothes, suddenly, a lustrous little hand grabbed onto the hem of his clothes.
Ye Zi's eyes were tightly shut and she frowned. "Don't go, don't go …"
Lin Yan frowned slightly and lowered his eyes to look at Ye Zi, who was on the sofa.
"Don't leave me alone." Ye Zi's bloodless lips opened slightly, and a sleep-talking sound came out from between her teeth.
Who was it? Who had left you behind?
"I'm afraid of being alone … I beg you, don't leave me behind." Ye Zi's voice sounded like she was about to cry.
Lin Yan bent over and looked at Ye Zi's forehead which was covered with fine beads of sweat. Her face was twisted like a bun, which made his heart ache.
This expression was too similar to that of the girl in his heart.
It was just that it had been too long, so his consciousness was a little fuzzy. Now that he saw the expression on Ye Zi's face again, the face of that little girl appeared in the depths of his memory.
With a trace of pity in his heart, Lin Yan began to struggle free from Ye Zi's hand. He quickly walked into the study and took out a set of brand new pajamas.
Without any hesitation, he personally helped Ye Zi change into the pajamas. When he wanted to feed Ye Zi the medicine, he realized that her mouth wouldn't open no matter how hard he tried.
Lin Yan frowned. If he had known that Ye Zi would end up like this, he definitely wouldn't have sent her there.
