Chapter 294: Chapter 294 vMe500

"Who?" Sang Li’s eyes turned slightly dark.

"Third Young Master. He has been downstairs the entire time," Zhou Zhao explained.

"I understand. I’ll find a time 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 immediately 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 immediately."

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 mention it. I’m looking forward to the delicious food you’ll make for me 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 mentioning 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 someone 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 someone 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. _{freewebnøvel.com}

The property management 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 women in the complex and planned to commit a crime 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 medicine, which made her scalp tingle with fear.

Looking at the message, she debated whether to tell Sang Li so that he wouldn’t have to stay up watching over her.

But seeing the time, well past midnight, she guessed Sang Li was probably asleep.

Turning someone away when there’s trouble felt somewhat 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 dimmed the nightlight to sleep.

...

Downstairs.

Chen Jin looked at the dimmed light, his heart reaching his throat, and he watched Gong Chen with some 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 someone 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 someone stay over."

Chen Jin pursed his lips, withholding words unsaid.

Even as an outsider, he remembered Lin Zhiyi’s habit of dimming the nightlight before bed.

The fact that only the bedroom light was left on in her home, 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 seemed 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.

Moments later, he brought over medicine and a glass of water.

"Third Young Master, it’s time for your medication."

After taking the medicine, Gong Chen tossed his tie beside him.
