Chapter 77 Your Husband is a Monster
When she went downstairs, Fan Yi and Xiao Liu were already sitting at the dining table waiting for her as usual.
On the table, half were her favorite foods, and the other half were fresh produce that suited Fan Yi's taste.
She usually didn't pay too much attention to Fan Yi's diet, and she deliberately avoided watching Fan Yi eat.
This time, when she passed by the dining table, she took a special look at the recipe in front of the man.
There was a plate of shrimp skewered alive, and a porcelain bowl piled high with octopus legs, which, even after being cut, were still wriggling in the bowl because their nerves hadn't been completely killed. Salmon fillets were stacked together, and because they hadn't been processed at all, they were a bright orange-red.
(The author is reluctant to describe further, fearing that some of you might be disgusted by the associations. After all, the author himself is disgusted.)
...Si Tang looked away, not daring to look at the bowl of octopus legs any longer.
"Sister Sitang, good morning."
"Tangtang, good morning."
Fan Yi raised a gentle smile, his narrow dark eyes sparkling like water.
"Good morning." Si Tang greeted them as usual.
But Si Tang himself knew that he could no longer be as defenseless as before.
While sitting down to eat, she began to look at Fan Yi intentionally or unintentionally.
The man ate with swift, skillful movements, yet still graceful. His face, expressionless, seemed indifferent and cold. Only when he swallowed his food did his beautiful eyes narrow slightly, as if savoring the delicious meal... His expression shone with a strange innocence that was all the more terrifying.
For some reason, Si Tang felt a little fear in his heart.
It was a kind of fear of the unknown, as if the person in front of him was not this person, but someone wearing a mask and a veil... unknown.
Her swaying eyes swept across the man's hand holding the knife and fork, which shone like jade in the light, white, slender and flawless.
A week ago, she had seen a deep wound there. Even if it healed, it would be impossible for it to be completely scar-free in such a short time.
Her chest was beating rapidly, the chopsticks in her hand were frozen in place, her eyes were forced to look away, but she couldn't stop her trembling lips and straightened shoulders.
…She felt she couldn’t stay here any longer.
She seemed to take a deep breath and stood up. She swallowed and said quickly, "I'm...full. I'm going out first."
The figure that was walking away seemed to be in a hurry and fleeing, as if there was a monster living in the house behind him.
Si Tang quickly left Haiyuan with his chaotic thoughts and frightened mood.
As she closed the door, her steps became faster and faster. In the end, she almost ran to the garage, drove away quickly.
......
In Haiyuan's living room, as Sitang left, a silence as heavy as dead water fell.
8856 just came back to his senses. He looked at the direction of the gate in confusion, not understanding why Si Tang suddenly left as if he had seen a ghost.
When he turned his head back, he saw that Lord Fan Yi had stopped eating. He slowly put down the knife and fork in his hand, squinted his eyes and stared at the direction where Si Tang left. He seemed to be in deep thought for a long time, his eyes as dark as ink.
"Lord Fan Yi...has she noticed something?" 8856 felt heavy-hearted.
His eyes suddenly fell on Fan Yi's flawless and bandaged hands, as if he guessed what the problem was.
A hint of evil appeared on Fan Yi's beautiful face. He sighed lightly and spoke quietly.
"I really can't keep it secret for long."
There was helplessness in his tone, but more than that, there was a hint of excitement and anticipation.
The person sitting in the main seat slowly raised the corner of his lips, and a dark blue light surged from his narrowed eyes, gloomy and corrosive, and his whole body was filled with a mad and morbid look.
8856 shuddered subconsciously.

Si Tang drove the car to the city center street.
She pulled over to the side of the road, her heart still pounding from the pounding of her chest. She looked up, and saw a surging crowd outside the car window, giving her a slight sense of security.
At this moment, the cell phone suddenly rang. It was Ling Xubai calling. Si Tang picked up the phone and answered it.
"Hello?" She opened her mouth and realized that her voice was a little hoarse due to fear.
So the other party was obviously stunned for a moment before saying, "Are you okay? Miss Sitang."
Si Tang didn't say anything. Her mind was in a mess and she didn't know where to start.
"Where are you?" the other side asked again, with a concerned and gentle tone, "Would it be convenient for you to chat?"
Si Tang glanced at the building to his right and said directly, "I'll wait for you at the coffee shop downstairs in Ronghua Building."
"Okay, I'll be there now. See you later."
Si Tang hung up the phone, got out of the car and walked into the coffee shop. Because it was early morning on a weekday, there were not many people sitting in the store. Si Tang sat in a relatively secluded corner, his furrowed brow never relaxed.
At this time, the phone started ringing again. Si Tang took a look and saw that it was Fan Yi calling.
Si Tang paused, but finally chose to let the ringing stop automatically.
A quarter of an hour later, the door to the coffee shop opened. Si Tang looked up to see Ling Xubai, dressed in a dark trench coat, entering the room, looking dusty and tired. His figure was thin but erect, full of scholarly elegance. The dark coat only accentuated his pale complexion, but perhaps it was an illusion, his complexion actually looked better than last time, with a hint of rosy color.
He came over and sat down politely.
"Long time no see." He looked at Si Tang's face, "You don't look well."
Si Tang smiled, but it was a forced smile as she was still feeling frightened.
She sighed and asked straight to the point, "Mr. Ling, the message you sent me...I want to know if you are suspicious of something?"
Ling Xubai did not answer immediately, but took out a stack of documents from the file bag beside him.
"Take a look at these first."
Si Tang took it over. It was nothing more than an investigation into Fan Yi, which was exactly the same as her original investigation, but with a little more information.
"This is?"
"Have you carefully investigated his interpersonal relationships?"
Si Tang was immediately stumped by this question. When she first investigated Fan Yi, she had only done a simple background check, and that was all done abroad, so there was no way she would have carefully investigated his interpersonal relationships.
But Ling Xubai's next words shocked her.
"He doesn't have any connections at home or abroad." Ling Xubai said in a deep voice, "He doesn't have any social connections. It's like he appeared out of thin air and came to you like this."
"Ms. Sitang, your husband..." At this point, Ling Xubai seemed to not know how to continue and paused.
"You suspect he is..."
"Yes, your husband is a monster." Ling Xubai interrupted her in a deep voice, meeting her gaze. "For your own safety, you should stay away from him."
The string in Si Tang's mind suddenly broke.
"What I said is not without basis." He said lightly with a softened tone.
