Chapter 838 Why are there so many things going on!

"I've made myself perfectly clear. There's nothing wrong with the ball, and there's nothing wrong with your house either. Don't worry, after today, that ball shouldn't come out again."

Zhai Yizhong frowned, not at all comforted. Ye Wanxi and the others hadn't even stayed at their house for an hour.

Throughout the entire process, the other person remained within his sight, and he was certain that the other person had not done anything unnecessary.

If that's the case, why is she so certain that the ball won't come out again?

"Miss Ye, are you...?"

Just as Zhai Yizhong was about to ask another question, the door was opened once again.

Everyone turned around and saw a woman in a smart suit, wearing heavy makeup but still unable to hide her fatigue, walk in.

"Xiaofeng, why are you back so soon? Didn't you say there was an emergency at the company?"

The person who arrived was Zhai Yizhong's wife, Ji Yafeng. She smiled wearily and said, "The manager found a replacement, so he sent me back first. This must be Miss Ye?"

Ye Wanxi looked at her for a while before taking the initiative to greet her: "Hello."

"Hello," Ji Yafeng said apologetically. "I should have picked you up from home with Yizhong today, but something came up and I was held up. Have you been here long? Yizhong, why didn't you invite Miss Ye and the others to sit down?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Wanxi quickly stopped her, saying, "No need, we've already disturbed you for so long, we're about to go back."

"Going back already?" Ji Yafeng looked surprised. "What about our family's affairs..."

"Ms. Ye said there's no problem with the ball, and there's no problem at home either."

Hearing her husband say this, Ji Yafeng frowned as well: "But that ball was clearly..."

"Sometimes abnormalities are not necessarily bad things."

Zhai Yizhong and his wife were taken aback: "What do you mean by that, Miss Ye?"

"Think about it carefully, both of you. Although some strange things have happened in your family, have these strange things really harmed your family members?"

This question stumped the couple. After thinking about it carefully, they realized that whether it was the electrical wires being chewed up, stepping on something, or bouncing a ball in the middle of the night, it was always their belongings that suffered, but they themselves were unharmed.

It's just because of the unknown, all sorts of speculations, and an uneasy, suspicious mind that scares oneself quite a bit.

"Even if... even if it doesn't hurt us now, who can guarantee what will happen in the future? Besides, I clearly threw that ball away..."

Ultimately, Ji Yafeng still couldn't accept that there might be something she couldn't see or control in her own house; the thought alone made her feel uneasy.

Ye Wanxi didn't offer any further explanation, but instead turned to look at the layout of their hall: "Was the wire that was chewed up on the first floor?"

Zhai Yizhong didn't know why Ye Wanxi suddenly asked this, but he still answered truthfully, "Yes, they're all on the first floor."

"Where can the child reach?"

Zhai Yizhong's expression changed slightly, and he fell silent immediately.

Ye Wanxi then asked Ji Yafeng, "Did you get up in the middle of the night to take the child to the toilet?"

"right."

"You sleep with the child?"

“We don’t usually sleep together. The child sleeps with her grandma or sleeps alone. That night, her grandma had a slight cold, and it was thundering and raining outside. Yizhong was also away on a business trip, so I simply went to the child’s room to sleep with her.”

"The children's room doesn't have a separate bathroom?"

"No. On the second floor, only my room and my grandma's room have separate bathrooms."

"So, you took her to the bathroom in your room?"

"No, we went to the first floor because the wind was too strong that night. The master bedroom door was blown shut and locked from the inside, and the key was inside. The backup is with Yizhong; he can't open it until he comes back the next day, so I took her to the first floor. When she stepped on that thing, I just happened to..."

Ji Yafeng suddenly fell silent. Zhai Yizhong noticed something was wrong and turned to look at his wife: "What's wrong?"

"I stepped on it just as I was leading Tingting downstairs."

Bai Haoqi, who was listening nearby, immediately grasped the key point: "You woke up in the middle of the night, right? You took the child downstairs in a half-asleep state and were quite frightened when you stepped on something, weren't you?"

She was quite frightened, wasn't she? She was still a little dazed and couldn't open her eyes, but she was instantly wide awake.

“Mr. Zhai told us that a month ago you left work early one time and took a car home by yourself without waiting for him to pick you up. On the way home, you felt that someone was following you and spying on you. Since then, there have been frequent strange noises in your house.”

"Yes...that's right."

"Didn't you ever consider that these commotions might be a warning sign?"

"Warning?" Zhai Yizhong's expression changed slightly. "What warning? Miss Ye, do you mean my wife is in danger?"

Ji Yafeng's expression also changed, and she gripped her husband's hand tightly, somewhat flustered.

"Mrs. Zhai looked haggard, with a dark complexion, sunken cheeks, protruding facial bones, and a broken line at the birth canal. This indicates that Mrs. Zhai has been plagued by villains recently, and if not dealt with properly, her life may be in danger."

Upon hearing Ye Wanxi's words, both husband and wife couldn't help but gasp.

"What...what should we do?"

As Zhai Yizhong spoke, he couldn't help but grasp Mrs. Zhai's hand, seemingly lost in thought: "Could it be that the person following Xiaofeng that night wasn't... but a real person? Someone was tailing Xiaofeng, trying to harm her."

"That's something Mr. Zhai will have to investigate himself. Compared to the dangers at home, you two should be more careful about the dangers from outside. That's my advice to you both."

Ye Wanxi turned to look at Feng Tianyu and said, "Let's go back."

"Um."

Zhai Yizhong opened his mouth as if to say something, but Bai Haoqi gave him a wink, and he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Ye Wanxi's words made the couple somewhat uneasy, but out of politeness, they still escorted Ye Wanxi and her companion to the door.

Ye Wanxi stood outside the courtyard, watching Grandma Zhai and the child come out from the gate inside the courtyard. Her eyes flickered slightly, and she asked casually, "Did Mr. Cui's family ever keep pets before?"

"A pet?" Zhai Yizhong was still wondering who wanted to harm his wife when he heard Ye Wanxi's words. He paused for a few seconds before reacting. "It wasn't exactly a pet. My grandmother used to have a mongrel. But after Tingting was born, Xiaofeng felt it wasn't good to keep cats and dogs at home, so she gave it away. Why is Miss Ye asking about this?"

"It's nothing." Ye Wanxi withdrew her gaze and followed Feng Tianyu.

Zhai Yizhong watched the two figures walk away, pondering her words. Then, as if struck by a sudden thought, he turned to look at the old lady: "Could it be..."

On the other side, Ye Wanxi and Feng Tianyu got into the car, glanced at the time, and said, "It's almost noon, let's go eat first."

"Okay." Feng Tianyu was about to recommend a few restaurants for Ye Wanxi to choose from when the familiar phone rang again.

"..." There are so many people involved!
