Chapter 17 -17: What’s the Rush?
Would Ye Sihan flip through her phone?
There were many secrets on her phone!
Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.
However, the phone was secured with a complex password, so he probably wouldn’t see anything, right? Besides, a phone is another person’s privacy, and ordinary people wouldn’t snoop around it without good reason……
Even though she thought this, her heart was still in turmoil.
As she was at her wit’s end, she sensed something amiss behind her, as if a danger was pressing against her back, sending chills down her spine and causing even her hair to flutter slightly.
She couldn’t help but turn around.
The moment that shadow, darker than the night itself, entered her field of vision, her heartbeat and breathing nearly stopped at the same frequency, and her pupils trembled.
Ye Sihan approached her elegantly yet dangerously, his dark eyes fixated on her as if he was a beast of the night that had set his sights on his prey.
Tang Yu quickly adjusted her emotions, making herself appear only slightly surprised, “You… why are you here? Didn’t you leave?”
“It seems your place isn’t around here,” Ye Sihan said sharply, his eyes glinting coldly.
“I’m going over there to buy some breakfast milk.” Tang Yu pointed across the road.
At the crossroads was a 24-hour convenience store.
Ye Sihan’s gaze swept over, lingered for a few seconds, then withdrew as he handed her the phone, “You dropped it in the car.”
Tang Yu took it with both hands, “Thank you, Mr. Ye.”
By the time she looked up, Ye Sihan had already boarded the arriving vehicle.
Watching the Rolls-Royce disappear into the night once more, Tang Yu’s tense nerves finally relaxed, and she gasped for breath.
It was so close… she was just a hair’s breadth away from having Ye Sihan detect something was up.
So losing her phone in his car turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
Tang Yu quickly checked her phone; the password was still there.
She turned, keeping an eye on the direction the car had disappeared while running back into the residential complex.
The sneaky manner in which she was moving didn’t escape the notice of another person lurking in the shadows.
That person was Wang Mingkai, who had been fired from KING Group earlier.
All of his bright prospects had been ruined by Tang Yu, leaving him with resentment in his heart.
He had heard his mother was going to see Ye Sihan, and he also wanted to plea for mercy. Unexpectedly, he saw Tang Yu at the bar and watched her get into Ye Sihan’s car.
So he followed her sneakily from a distance, all the way to this place.
As for Tang Yu, who clearly lived in this complex but got off the car earlier, Wang Mingkai didn’t suspect much; his heart was full of thoughts of revenge on Tang Yu.
He continued to follow the oblivious Tang Yu, and once he was sure of the apartment number she entered, he left with a malicious expression on his face.
The next morning, after Tang Yu sent the four little ones to school, she rushed to KING Group.
That morning, as Tang Yu was organizing files, her phone beside her rang with an unfamiliar number. It didn’t seem to be Luo Bingbing or Zhou Qinghua’s either. She answered, “Hello, who’s this?”
“Tang Yu, it’s your landlord! There’s been an accident!”
Tang Yu hurried out of the office, and as she passed the elevator, she collided with Ye Sihan who had just emerged—
“Ah!” Tang Yu exclaimed, covering her reddened nose as she stepped back, tears welling up in her eyes.
How could this man’s body be so rigid? If she didn’t know better, she would have thought she ran into a wall!
Ye Sihan frowned slightly and turned to look down at her.
Behind him, Xiao Yu asked, “What’s so urgent that you’re this careless?”
“I’m so sorry, Mr. Ye. I… I have something I need to take care of and need to take leave, I’ll be back soon!” Tang Yu blurted out, then turned and ran off.
Everything had happened so suddenly, she hadn’t even thought to ask for leave beforehand.
Having collided with him, she didn’t dare to mention the reason for her leave.
Because the landlord had called to say that her rental house caught fire!
By the time Tang Yu arrived, the fire had already been extinguished by the firefighters, and black smoke was billowing from the window of her rental room.
Climbing up the stairs, she found the room had been burnt beyond recognition, and two firefighters were still searching for any suspicious sources of the fire.
Tang Yu couldn’t come to terms with the scene inside the rental, she was even on the verge of collapse.
Since the room was where she lived, she was liable for the damages incurred.
“Have you offended anyone recently?” the firefighter asked her.
“Me?” Tang Yu was puzzled.
“We found traces of gasoline burned at the doorway. Outsiders can’t get in, but if someone poured gasoline into the room and lit it, the fire would have spread inside following the gasoline,” the firefighter explained.
Tang Yu was still pondering whether she had forgotten to turn off the stove that morning. It didn’t make sense for there to be an issue because she was always very careful with everything, especially since there were children in the house.
But… who would do such a thing?
Whom had she offended?
Luo Bingbing and Zhou Qinghua?
“I’ve already called the police. To dare pour gasoline into a house where people live, isn’t that insane?” the plump landlord auntie said angrily, hands on her hips.
Later, the police came to question Tang Yu.
Tang Yu only said she hadn’t offended anyone recently and that she lived there alone.
They didn’t get any useful information.
After the firefighters and police had left, Tang Yu stood alone in the center of the room, looking at the place she had lived for nearly half a year and grown familiar with, feeling very heavyhearted.
“Landlord auntie, how much do I need to compensate?”
“It shouldn’t be much, it was just basic decor. Whatever it cost to decorate back then, plus the furniture, maybe around fifty or sixty thousand!”
“I’m really sorry for causing you so much trouble.”
The landlord auntie didn’t say much and left.
Tang Yu let out a deep, helpless sigh.
Her heart was filled with bitterness.
Having to pay sixty thousand yuan for no reason, that money could have been used on her child for a long time!
“How come I didn’t know you lived here.”
Tang Yu’s body jolted, she lifted her head, staring blankly at Ye Sihan, who had suddenly appeared before her, “You… you followed me?”
Ye Sihan ignored her question, walked into the room, looking around, the air heavy with the smell of char.
His arrival was like a deity, standing atop the ruins of Purgatory, noble, above all, untouchable.
Tang Yu’s entire body stiffened.
This was where she and her four little ones had lived for months. The fire might not have destroyed everything; what if something had been overlooked?
She felt more apprehensive and nervous than when she was facing the police.
“You haven’t answered my question,” Ye Sihan said, his sharp and deep black eyes intensely gazing at her.
Tang Yu pursed her lips, looking down, “I was trying… trying to keep my distance from you…” she had barely finished when she felt a dark shadow pressing down on her, making it difficult for her to breathe.
The next second, her chin was forcefully lifted, her gaze meeting his intimidating, hawk-like eyes.
“Do you know what happens if you deceive me, hmm?”
Tang Yu’s breath was filled with Ye Sihan’s scent, fear and anxiety evident, “Originally… I thought after a month I could leave… that’s why I did not tell the truth. Now that the house has burned down, maybe Mr. Ye would allow me to resign, so I can focus on finding a place to live?”
Ye Sihan’s dark gaze was intense as he pressed her uneasy expression, then, after a moment, released her chin and turned to leave.
Tang Yu came to her senses and hurriedly followed him, “Mr. Ye, if you won’t let me resign, could you allow me to take some leave to find a house? Otherwise, I’ll have nowhere to stay tonight.”
Ye Sihan slowed down and turned, only to have a figure pounce at him, thudding to the ground, clinging to his legs—
