As soon as Su Li arrived at her door, she smelled a strong odor of smoke.

"Xiao Chen!"

She pushed open the gate and rushed in, only to find Su Chen sitting in the yard, starting a fire to burn something.

"Sister, you're back." Su Chen looked up, her fair face covered in soot, making her look quite comical.

"What are you doing? I thought the house had burned down when I was outside. Why did you start a fire? Put it out quickly."

"I'm going to make you a barbecue, don't worry, it won't burn down the house."

Su Li saw clean food laid out to the side, each skewer prepared.

This kid isn't just sitting idle at home.

She pulled out a stool next to her, sat down, looked at him, and asked, "You called me back so urgently just to eat barbecue?"

"Yes, you need to be well-fed to work properly, and I also helped you get rid of those crazy suitors."

How do you know about obsessive suitors?

"My sister is so beautiful, she'll definitely shine wherever she goes."

Su Li gently patted his head. "You little rascal, you're quite the smooth talker."

The phone on the coffee table rang.

Su Chen, busy grilling skewers, said, "Sis, could you bring me my phone for a second?"

Su Li casually picked up her phone, but her beautiful eyes froze when she saw the phone number displayed on it.

"Xiao Chen, why did this number call you?"

Su Chen shrugged. "I don't know. It's called me several times today. I thought it was a pyramid scheme call, so I didn't answer. I didn't expect it to call again now."

"Okay, it's a pyramid scheme call. I'll block it for you right now."

Su Li quickly and permanently blocked the phone number.

After putting down her phone, she couldn't calm down for a long time.

If she remembered correctly, this number belonged to the information department of the Quan Group. The fact that they called Xiao Chen meant that they had found Xiao Chen's phone number.

Behind all this, Quan Ye had been relentlessly pursuing her.

Su Li had only relaxed for a few days, but now she's starting to get nervous again.

"Xiao Chen, I'll get you a new phone tomorrow and also get you a new SIM card from Yucheng."

Wow, you're so generous, sis?

"You are being rewarded for your excellent performance."

On a sunny afternoon, Su Li took Su Chen to participate in a middle school math competition, where Su Chen won first place.

The entire audience cheered for him, and as the champion's sister, she was also invited to speak on stage.

Su Li stood in the middle of the stage, listening to the enthusiastic applause from the audience, her face beaming with smiles.

"Thank you everyone for your support of Xiaochen."

She bowed in gratitude, and when she stood up, she saw that the audience was suddenly empty, and Xiao Chen beside her was also gone.

She began to panic, watching the stage gradually darken, feeling as if she were being swept into an endless abyss.

"Xiao Chen? Where did you all go?"

She ran towards the end, where a cloud of black mist gathered, and a figure slowly appeared.

The man's tall and imposing figure loomed over her, exuding a powerful aura.

Su Li stumbled and fell to the ground as she ran, looking up at the approaching figure. The man's handsome face was filled with bloodlust, and his dark eyes stared at her like the Grim Reaper.

"I've been so good to you, why did you run away? Do you think you can escape!"

His large hand gripped her neck, lifting her up.

"don't want!"

Startled, Su Li screamed and kicked off the blanket, sitting up abruptly.

Her face was covered in cold sweat. When she opened her eyes, she found herself lying in a room, and everything around her was not the same as the furnishings in the Peach Garden room.

She turned on the bedside lamp, patted her chest deeply, still shaken.

"It was just a dream."

Su Li picked up the water glass from the bedside table to drink, but found it was empty.

She got out of bed, put on her shoes, and dragged her weak body out of the room.

My steps were unsteady, and the image of that man filled my mind.

The dream I just had felt so real.

More than two months have passed, and she has cut off all contact with Haicheng. He must not be able to find her now, right?
