Ji Lin'an didn't turn around, and said calmly, "You can choose to stay at home."

Thousand-Mile Eyes got up and followed us with a cheerful smile: "I want to go with you. How can I miss such a grand show as killing off my love rival?"

I turned and glared at Qianliyan again.

Just in case, we changed into protective suits, armed ourselves with guns, and Ji Lin'an and I hid in three corners to ambush Zhu Chen. After waiting for almost an hour, my hands were sore and slippery from holding the guns, and my hands were covered in sweat. I peeked out and looked at Ji Lin'an. He was looking in my direction. We made eye contact, and I gave him a wronged look. He blew me a kiss from afar, and I happily shrank back to my original spot.

After waiting for another hour and still not seeing Zhu Chen, Ji Lin'an poked his head out and coughed lightly. Qianliyan and I immediately poked our heads out to check. Ji Lin'an looked at Qianliyan and made a V-sign with his hand, pointing to his eyes and then to the surrounding area. Qianliyan understood and took out his phone to check. Two minutes later, Qianliyan said, "There isn't a single person around here."

Upon hearing this, I didn't want to stay squatting on the ground for another second. I stood up and stretched out a huge yawn: "Maybe he has already moved to another place, or maybe he saw a vision of the future before we took action and knew that we would be harmful to him, so he hid."

Ji Lin'an nodded: "That's possible. His computer wasn't left here, which means this isn't the shelter he intended to stay in for the long term."

I slowly walked to Ji Lin'an's side: "So what do we do now? Shall we go back first?"

After we got home, Qianliyan suddenly exclaimed, "Oh dear, we were worried that the sound of our phones would alert them, so the three of us silenced them. You see, your ex-boyfriend approached the villa more than an hour ago, and he warned us more than once, giving us three warnings. The most recent warning was when he was less than 5 meters away from us."

I frowned instantly: "So, Zhu Chen might have received a warning too, and used his Flash ability to come back, but he was too fast for us to notice?"

Ji Lin'an's expression was somewhat unpleasant: "Just watch the surveillance footage and you'll know."

We watched five minutes of slow motion, comparing the time of the last warning to the actual time, and finally found Zhu Chen. He had indeed returned, but he went into the garden and hid by the window outside the front door. From that angle, he could see the eagle eye hiding in the corner on the second floor. After observing for two minutes, Zhu Chen quickly ran away.

Thousand-Mile Eyes shrugged: "Alright, we've alerted him this time. It'll be even more difficult to catch him now."

Ji Lin'an placed one hand on his chest and the other on his chin: "He probably won't be back at the villa for a while. We can move there temporarily. He's not much of a threat to us on his own. Let's avoid the mysterious organization first."

I thought for a moment and shook my head, saying, "I think that given Zhu Chen's personality, he will go back. He will go to confirm whether we are still there, or rather, the reason and justification for our ambush on him. In the surveillance footage, he can only see the 'all-seeing eye' from outside, but not you and me. He will definitely have to figure it out. Even if he doesn't confront us directly, he will definitely find out what happened."

Qianliyan looked at Ji Lin'an and said, "Should we still go to the villa? We're caught between a rock and a hard place."

I gave Thousand-Mile Eyes a disdainful look: "You're wrong. It's true there's a wolf in front, but behind you, at most, there's a wildcat."

Ji Lin'an's eyes were cold and sharp, and a hint of impatience was revealed at the corner of his mouth: "Then we'll move in openly and honestly. If he has the guts, he can come out and confront us head-on. If he doesn't have the guts, he can only peek and then hide away in a sorry state."

Thousand-Mile Eye slapped his thigh: "What if he gets found by a mysterious organization and becomes their lackey?"

I looked at Ji Lin with an innocent expression and nodded: "That's what I was thinking too. Otherwise, we could pretend to ally with him. I know him well; a few flattering words and he'll be all over the place. As long as we make sure his skills don't fall into the hands of the mysterious organization, it'll be fine."

Ji Lin'an's face was dark, and I felt the temperature around us drop significantly. Was this man jealous again? Did I say something wrong?

I leaned close to Ji Lin'an, linked my arms with his, stood on tiptoe, pressed my face against his shoulder, and looked up at him with my big, blinking eyes: "Ji Ji, what do you think? Do you think my plan is feasible?"

Ji Lin'an looked down at me without saying a word. I continued my offensive, reaching behind his neck with one hand and forcefully pressing his head down to face level with mine. I planted a kiss on his cheek and blinked at Ji Lin'an. He stared at me expressionlessly. I continued kissing him, kissing him again and again. Just as I was about to give him the fourth kiss, Qianliyan suddenly spoke: "The mysterious organization is here!"

Ji Lin'an and I immediately ran to the soundproof room. When we got there and Qianliyan still hadn't come in, Ji Lin'an and I cautiously peeked out to look at him.

I whispered, "Why aren't you coming in yet?"

I saw Thousand-Mile Eyes leisurely lying on the sofa eating a box of Planet Cups. What time is it and he still has the mood to eat this? Wait, I hid it so well, how did he steal the Planet Cups from my space?

Ji Lin'an chuckled and pulled me toward the door, saying, "Alright, let's go out. If the mysterious organization really comes, they'll run faster than we do."

I put my hands on my hips and said, "You bastard, how dare you mess with us and steal my Planet Cup! I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget."

I rushed to Qianliyan as fast as I could, grabbed a cushion and threw it at him. Qianliyan calmly licked the empty box clean, dodged the cushion, stood up and ran behind the sofa, still holding the spoon and the empty box and twisting around in place. We chased each other, while Ji Lin'an calmly sat down in the kitchen and made a cup of tea.
