Chapter 294: Chapter 294 v500 Chapter 294: Chapter 294 v500 “Who?” Sang Li’s eyes turned slightly dark.
“Third Young Master. He has been downstairs the entire ti,” Zhou Zhao explained.
“I understand. I’ll find a ti to talk with him.”
After hanging up the phone, Sang Li walked to the window and looked down.
The man’s superior figure was very noticeable under the streetlight, leaning against his car and smoking a cigarette.
He almost simultaneously looked up towards the window.
Sang Li imdiately pulled the curtains closed.
Seeing this, Lin Zhiyi asked curiously, “What’s wrong?
Sang Li glanced at her and said with a faint smile, “It’s safer this way.”
“Okay.”
“Since the person hasn’t been caught, I’ll just sleep in the living room today. I’ll be able to hear if there’s any noise imdiately.”
Sang Li walked back and sat down on the sofa.
Lin Zhiyi would have refused before, but now that the person hadn’t been caught, she really couldn’t find a reason to refuse.
“Thank you.”
“Don’t ntion it. I’m looking forward to the delicious food you’ll make for tomorrow,” Sang Li changed the subject.
“No problem. There’s a great supermarket nearby.”
Lin Zhiyi took this as an opportunity to step down from the topic without ntioning the incident by the window again.
She found a new blanket and pillow from her room and laid them out on the sofa for Sang Li.
“I’m sorry for making soone as important as you sleep on a sofa.”
“Then should I sleep in your room?” Sang Li joked, his eyes, however, were fixed intently on Lin Zhiyi.
Lin Zhiyi pursed her lips, “Mr. Sang, why do you always make such dry jokes?”
She got up and prepared to return to her room.
Sang Li reached out and grasped her wrist, looking up at her earnestly, “I’m serious. I’m soone who’s been queuing with a number.”
Lin Zhiyi withdrew her hand quickly, “I know, I get it.”
With that, she escaped back to her room.
After showering and lying in bed, Lin Zhiyi tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
Finally, she reached for her phone from the bedside.
The property managent had just announced in the group chat that the stalker had been caught, a delivery man who frequented the area. He noticed there were many single won in the complex and planned to commit a cri when the opportunity arose.
Today, he attempted to act and was arrested.
Lin Zhiyi recognized him in the group’s photo as the delivery guy who brought her dicine, which made her scalp tingle with fear.
Looking at the ssage, she debated whether to tell Sang Li so that he wouldn’t have to stay up watching over her.
But seeing the ti, well past midnight, she guessed Sang Li was probably asleep.
Turning soone away when there’s trouble felt sowhat immoral.
Furthermore, just the thought of the stalker standing right before her earlier made her shudder.
Lin Zhiyi decided to let Sang Li stay the night after all.
She continued browsing on her phone for a while, then dimd the nightlight to sleep.
…
Downstairs.
Chen Jin looked at the dimd light, his heart reaching his throat, and he watched Gong Chen with so concern.
Gong Chen had rushed over as soon as he heard about the stalker.
Unbeknownst to him, Sang Li was also there.
“Third Young Master, are we still waiting? Miss Lin seems to have gone to sleep.” With soone else.
Gong Chen glanced at his watch, “No rush. She wouldn’t normally be asleep this early. She probably knows the stalker has been caught and won’t let soone stay over.”
Chen Jin pursed his lips, withholding words unsaid.
Even as an outsider, he rembered Lin Zhiyi’s habit of dimming the nightlight before bed.
The fact that only the bedroom light was left on in her ho, wasn’t that indication enough?
Moreover, the two had been kissing by the window just earlier.
Chen Jin sighed softly and endured, waiting for three grueling hours with Gong Chen, witnessing Gong Chen’s discomfort from sitting too long before finally insisting on driving back.
Gong Chen remained silent the whole way.
Returning to Su He Bay.
As Gong Chen climbed the steps, his cane seed barely able to support him.
Chen Jin quickly stepped forward to help but was pushed away by him.
“No need,” he endured to say.
“Third Young Master…”
Chen Jin followed behind him with empathy, only resting assured once Gong Chen had lain down peacefully.
Monts later, he brought over dicine and a glass of water.
“Third Young Master, it’s ti for your dication.”
After taking the dicine, Gong Chen tossed his tie beside him.
“You can go back now.”
Chen Jin didn’t respond. It was the first ti he had seen Gong Chen in such a bad state, not just physically but seemingly worn down from the inside out.
Worried, after leaving the room, he decided to make do with a night on the sofa.
Sitting on the sofa, Chen Jin swept a stunned glance over it.
Actually, he didn’t quite believe Lin Zhiyi was a casual woman.
Could there have been so misunderstanding?
He thought about it for a mont and took out his phone to open WeChat.
He very reluctantly found Zhou Zhao’s profile picture.
That kind of insipid muscle-flexing photo.
“Where are you?”
“Video call for 500 and I’ll tell you.”
“Goodbye.”
“Don’t leave, man. Last ti you hit , I haven’t settled the dical fees. Doctor Li said I was seriously hurt.”
“Where’s your boss?”
“Trying to pump for information? Hehe, video call for 5000.”
“…”
Chen Jin put down his phone, ready to sleep.
A few minutes later, Zhou Zhao sent a ssage.
“My young master is very innocent. He’s a gentleman. So am I. We don’t trick young girls.”
“…”
Chen Jin didn’t waste words and directly took a screenshot and sent it to Gong Chen.
Boss, this is as far as I can help you.
Monts later, Gong Chen sent a ssage.
He transferred fifty thousand directly.
“Video call him.”
“Okay.”
Chen Jin imdiately video called Zhou Zhao for 5000.
Zhou Zhao sent back a smug emoticon.
“Don’t fucking think I don’t know you’re skimming off the top! It’s a fifty-fifty split, not a penny less.”
Chen Jin closed his eyes to sleep.
Elsewhere, Zhou Zhao sat with crossed legs, grinning and imdiately dialed Sang Li’s number.
“Young Master, I said everything as you instructed. I don’t understand, isn’t it better for Third Young Master to have the misunderstanding?”
“Do I need to tarnish a woman’s reputation for such things? Gong Chen is a madman, and I don’t want both Xiao Ran and Zhiyi to get hurt. I stayed because I thought Zhiyi’s ntal scars hadn’t fully healed, and being with her might make her feel more secure.”
“Alright.”
…
The next morning.
Lin Zhiyi woke up and saw it was already nine o’clock. A minute later, she suddenly rembered there was soone else in her house.
She hurriedly got out of bed and dashed out.
Sang Li had already changed into the clothes Zhou Zhao had brought over that morning, which were more casual and made him look very laid-back.
“Awake? I didn’t know what you liked to eat, so I had Zhou Zhao buy so breakfast.”
Lin Zhiyi, looking at the breakfast on the table, scratched her head: “Sorry, I forgot I didn’t set an alarm since I was off work.”
“Eat first. We’ll go to the supermarket after,” Sang Li reminded her.
“Okay, I’ll wash up first.”
Lin Zhiyi turned and entered the room.
When she ca out again, she found that the eggs on her plate had been peeled.
Sang Li wiped his hands and pushed soy milk towards her: “Eat.”
Lin Zhiyi was a little amused: “Mr. Sang, you really want to go to the supermarket, don’t you?”
“You could tell?” Sang Li admitted openly.
“I’ll be quick.”
Lin Zhiyi didn’t want to disappoint Sang Li, so after eating, she took two large plastic bags and went to the supermarket with him.
As soon as they entered the supermarket, she led Sang Li all around.
Compared to the upscale import supermarkets Sang Li was used to, this large community supermarket had more of a lively atmosphere.
Lin Zhiyi didn’t buy much, but Sang Li, amid the calls of “handso” and “young man” from the aunties, bought a whole bunch of random items.
After shopping, they chatted on their way back.
“Mr. Sang, you really are a sugar daddy. Just because soone called you handso, you bought two cartons of milk? How long will that take you to drink?”
“She said, ‘Handso, buy two cartons of milk for your girlfriend,'” Sang Li reminded her.
“…”
Lin Zhiyi’s face flushed.
Just as they reached downstairs, a voice ca from not far away.
“Brother. Zhiyi.”
