Chapter 384: Misunderstanding Clarified

As soon as Yin Dong finished speaking, his eyes swept down her face, and his long eyelashes like crow wings twitched slightly. "Your style is quite... unique, a mix and match style?"

Jiang Yuan ran out of the shower. She casually put on a vest, a thick nightgown over the vest, and a windbreaker over the nightgown. Her short, half-dry hair hung wetly in front of her forehead, with a few strands still sticking up on top of her head.

The way she was dressed was not much different from that of a refugee.

Jiang Yuan's face was tense, knowing that she couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she simply turned away, not wanting to see the expression on his face.

The hint of playfulness on his face flashed away, and he slowly turned her face back, his tone stern, "Who do you think you are?"

Jiang Yuan was forced to meet his eyes, her throat lowered, and she replied nonchalantly, "You thought he was a pervert, okay?"

He casually pushed down the few strands of hair on her head and said, "If there really are bad guys, do you think you can prevent them from breaking into the door with just this one?"

Jiang Yuan looked up at him, then lowered her head and kicked the door with her foot, "And this."

His attention was drawn to the red device under her feet. It was a metal instrument with two suction cups connected to its two ends, one above and one below. One end was firmly attached to the door and the other end was close to the ground.

Yin Dong suddenly thought of the things Kuang Ye had described before, saying, "What is this?"

Jiang Yuan gave its full scientific name, "A magical device that can sound an alarm and block doors."

Yin Dong took a careful look at it. Although this device was small, it cleverly utilized mechanical principles and had very high resistance. If someone tried to force their way in by brute force, not only would they not be able to get in, but the alarm might also sound.

He stared down at her, "If you didn't open the door just now, would I be unable to come in even if I counted to 100?"

Jiang Yuan was unwilling to admit that she was the one who let him in.

"Should I praise you for being smart, or call you stupid? Even when you're scared like this, you're still so stubborn. I've never seen you so irritating. When you want to use me, you try every possible way to seduce me, and when you don't want to use me anymore, you just walk away. Am I not even worthy of hearing the truth?"

He was breathing heavily and looked like he was trying hard to suppress his anger.

Jiang Yuan's heart was churning with bitter emotions. "I wanted to explain to you, but you didn't give me a chance to speak."

Yin Dong thought of the day she disappeared. She stood in front of the car and spoke to him in a veiled manner. She had said at the time that she had something to tell him, but unfortunately, when he saw her getting out of Yan Yiru's car, he was already furious.

Later he waited for her for ten days, but she didn't come to see him, so he flew to Lancheng in anger.

"So you're just letting it go? You don't even want to explain?"

Jiang Yuan raised her head, her voice also filled with anger: "I called you, but you didn't answer."

He took a deep breath and said, "The owner of the ramen shop said you should go there and wait for your boyfriend."

Jiang Yuan blinked her eyelashes, and a hint of surprise flashed in her dark, bright eyes. "What boyfriend?"

Yin Dong stared at her closely. "What were you planning to do at that ramen restaurant that day? Why was Yan Yiru there too?"

Jiang Yuan slowly recalled the scene of that day: "The private detective found out that Zhang Yujun and the other two were in that chemical plant. I wanted to go and see for myself if it was them. The ramen shop owner asked me if I was waiting for the man from the opposite site to come out to meet him. I was afraid that Xue Shan would find out later, so I went with it. I didn't know Yan Yiru would go there, and he bribed the private detective..."

Yin Dong now wished he could ask someone to catch the old man immediately.
