"We'll talk about it later."
Su Qingzhi immediately understood that he must have discovered something unusual, which was why he was being so cautious.
She didn't ask any more questions until they had driven three blocks when Shen Zhiyu whispered, "Stop the car."
Su Qingzhi responded.
Shen Zhiyu got out of the car, his movements swift and decisive.
He walked around the front of the car and went to the driver's seat.
"Niannian, are you feeling better now? You look much better than before. If you're not angry anymore, I'll drive the car away, okay? I can't let you keep holding your anger in your chest."
Su Qingzhi raised her eyes and looked at his face.
She stared at him for a moment, and then she understood a bit of what he was thinking.
This guy had actually been trying to coax her for a while.
She deliberately pouted, feigning displeasure.
"At least you still have some conscience and know to apologize. But..."
"If you talk to those women of dubious origin again, I won't let you off so easily. Don't think I don't know how strange that woman looked at you just now."
Shen Zhiyu nodded quickly and expressed his agreement.
"I understand, I promise! From now on, I won't look at you or listen to you, I'll only recognize you. Other women are like air to me, I won't even glance at them if the wind blows by."
As he spoke, he subtly gestured towards the bottom of the car with his lip.
He subtly glanced down, signaling her to watch her step.
Su Qingzhi immediately understood.
She opened the car door, then bent down and cautiously peered under the car.
Her gaze swept over the metal frame inch by inch, and she finally noticed something unusual: a small object was stuck there.
"Li Haitang did it?"
Shen Zhiyu stood to the side, his expression slightly solemn.
"It's not certain yet. Maybe it's one of her people, or maybe someone else is watching us."
But neither of them rushed to touch it.
After all, the origin of this small device is unknown, and rashly disassembling it may trigger some kind of warning mechanism.
It could even cause bigger trouble.
Shen Zhiyu straightened up and gently patted the car door.
"You sit in the front, I'll drive. Don't squat here for too long, it'll attract attention."
"I'll take you to the mall later. You can buy whatever you want—clothes, bags, jewelry, anything. Consider it my way of making amends, okay? Consider it my way of atoning for my sins."
Hearing this, she curled the corners of her mouth.
"That's more like it."
She said it casually, then added a warning.
"If you do it again, don't expect me to forgive you like this again. Next time, I might not be so lenient."
"Okay, okay, I'll remember that."
Shen Zhiyu readily agreed.
"From now on, I'll avoid women whenever I see them, and I'll even step aside to avoid old ladies walking towards me, okay? I definitely won't cause you any misunderstandings."
The two got into the car after talking.
Su Qingzhi got into the passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt.
Shen Zhiyu closed the car door, adjusted the seat position, and skillfully started the engine.
They had only driven a short distance when they passed a section of road with deep water.
Just as they were about to pass by, Shen Zhiyu suddenly stepped on the gas.
With a loud "splash," the wheel plunged into the water.
After running several hundred meters, the road ahead became dry and smooth again.
Shen Zhiyu slowly stepped on the brakes and parked the car in a safe area.
Wearing gloves, Shen Zhiyu squatted under the car and carefully examined the small device.
Sure enough, after that intense wading through the water, the miniature device was completely soaked.
The edges of the casing were stained with murky water, and the internal circuit board showed obvious signs of short circuit.
He gently took it off and pulled a small, sharp folding knife from his pocket.
Carefully pry open the outer shell with the tip of a knife.
As the last metal cover was lifted, the internal structure was fully revealed.
Miniature microphone, signal transmission module, battery pack...
All the characteristics match.
"It really is a miniature listening device."
Shen Zhiyu turned to look at Su Qingzhi, his gaze darkening.
"The design was very discreet, probably professional-grade. But now that it's flooded, it's probably ruined and can no longer transmit any information."
After he finished speaking, he quickly destroyed the core components inside, ensuring that the data could not be repaired or recovered.
Then he took out a clean tissue, carefully wrapped the remains, and handed it to Su Qingzhi.
"Put it in your spatial storage and dispose of it. Don't leave it outside, just in case someone tries to trace its origin."
Su Qingzhi took the paper package.
She nodded silently, and a faint light flashed in her palm as the package vanished into thin air.
They entered her storage space.
After these things were done, there were no more unusual signs around.
The two of them finally relaxed and leaned against the car to start chatting.
"Actually, I felt something was wrong yesterday."
Su Qingzhi spoke first.
"A person who looks like my eldest aunt suddenly appeared next to Grandma, and her words and actions were just as impressive. She even managed to win over the lady, serving her tea and water and showing her concern. Don't you think this is too much of a coincidence?"
She paused, then looked directly at Shen Zhiyu.
“My aunt disappeared for many years without a trace. How could she be ‘accidentally’ discovered at this time? Moreover, there was something strange about that person’s eyes. They didn’t seem like the excitement that relatives should have when they reunite. Instead, they seemed to be testing him.”
Shen Zhiyu leaned against the car.
He nodded and said in a low voice.
“I also have my doubts. Moreover, after that person appeared, the safe key disappeared, the old photos in the old man’s study were moved, and even the backyard surveillance footage showed a brief interruption.”
