The net has been cast. According to the information provided by You Lixuan, this middle-aged man is not simple. He has multiple identities to conceal his true identity and is also extremely vigilant.
The villa was surrounded by surveillance cameras, and the professionals only managed to set up the cameras under the pretext of painting the trees.
It's quite difficult to obtain evidence that he engaged in espionage.
The phone vibrated again.
The screen lights up.
“I need your cooperation. Surveillance alone is not enough. I found out through some means that Ke Youfang has something to deal with tomorrow afternoon and probably won’t be back until very late. So I’ve decided to have someone install something to disrupt the signal in the surveillance cameras at his villa. Can you stall his adopted daughter?”
Jiang Cheng thought about it for a moment.
"How much time do you think you need?"
"It will take at least an hour, because we can't keep track of the man's exact movements. It will take at least that long from planning to completion."
"I see."
The sun rises and sets.
As dusk fell, he walked out of the school gate. Ke Bing didn't say goodbye to him like she had that day, and hurriedly turned the corner.
Jiang Cheng appeared to be talking to his brothers, but his eyes kept glancing towards the corner.
A luxury car drove up shortly after.
It whizzed through the streets in front of the school gate.
Through the half-open window, Jiang Cheng caught a glimpse of a middle-aged man with meticulously combed hair, and Ke Bing, whose eyes were filled with gloom, sitting in the back row.
Perhaps, boarding this train meant she was returning home from school, driving from Sunset Boulevard into the twilight, from a simple and beautiful paradise to hell, and from the outside world back to her cage.
······
"Brother, I made a rice bowl today. It's my first time cooking."
"Oh, oh, oh."
"?" Luo Xiaoli's hand, which had picked up the chopsticks, suddenly paused. Her eyes narrowed as she looked at Jiang Cheng, whose mind was not on eating at all.
He was holding up his phone, as if he were chatting with someone.
The perceptive Xiao Li immediately sensed that something was wrong.
She floated up behind Jiang Cheng and found that he was indeed chatting with someone, but he was doing so by sending text messages.
"Who are you chatting with, brother? You seem so focused." She whispered in Jiang Cheng's ear.
Jiang Cheng was startled when he didn't notice when Xiao Li got up from her seat and floated behind him.
"You scared me!"
"You haven't answered my question yet."
"classmate."
"Male or female?"
"Why are you asking this?" Jiang Cheng asked, looking puzzled.
"Hehe, just curious." Luo Xiaoli chuckled sarcastically, sat back down in her seat, and poked the innocent potato chunks with her spoon.
He was indeed chatting with a girl, and it was Ke Bing.
The information is roughly as follows.
"Will you be free tomorrow?"
"What's wrong, Jiang?"
"I bought two movie tickets for 'Peach Blossom Hero vs. Chrysanthemum Monster.' Are you interested in going?"
"·····"
Are there really movies in the world that are that brain-dead? Just hearing about them makes you want to watch them!
Ke Bing, in the villa's bathroom, wrapped her wet hair in a towel and thought for a moment before replying to the message.
Jiang Cheng invited her to see a movie, which can be interpreted as going on a date.
Ke Bing has never been on a date in his life.
After the misunderstanding was cleared up, she no longer had such a strong aversion to Jiang Cheng. On the contrary, after getting to know him better, she found him to be a pretty good person.
But going to the movies with male classmates was an impossible dream for her.
She wanted to agree, but if her twisted adoptive father found out, she didn't know what terrible price she would have to pay.
Upon realizing this, Ke Bing's initially happy expression turned melancholy.
It seems I have no choice but to refuse...
Just as she was about to edit the message to decline, a sound suddenly came from outside the bathroom door, startling her so much that she almost dropped her phone.
"Bing'er," was Ke Youfang's voice. He was completely unaware of how shameless it was for an adoptive father to stand in front of his daughter's bathing room and eavesdrop. "I won't pick you up tomorrow night. I have important things to do. Come back by yourself."
"I understand... Father."
Ke Bing was terrified and tried her best to make her voice calm.
She only breathed a sigh of relief when the footsteps outside the door faded into the distance.
Accident.
Extremely unexpected.
Everything seemed to have been arranged, and Ke Bing's beautiful eyes showed a hint of hesitation.
My father would occasionally go out to do things at night, and he would not return until the early hours of the morning.
This means she has enough time to watch a movie.
Ke Bing couldn't send the message she wanted to reject.
She longed to live like a normal girl, free to go to the movies, go shopping, and eat whatever she wanted.
Moreover, dating a guy she has a crush on.
This kind of wishful thinking made her yearn for it even more.
Ke Bing gritted her teeth and made the bravest decision of her life; her heart was pounding like a rabbit's.
"Okay, let's go see it together tomorrow."
