Chapter 171 [(*^▽^*)]
The group of middle-aged women chatted amongst themselves about Zhou Nanyue, and finally exclaimed in amazement.
"Holy crap, is this for real?"
"How could something I saw with my own eyes be fake?"
Lin Leyou added, "It's definitely true. Yesterday, he stopped me on the street and demanded money from me!"
Upon hearing this, the police officer sensed an opportunity and asked, "Oh, what's going on?"
Lin Leyou was extremely annoyed by Zhou Nanyue, and her tone was not good when she spoke, "What else could it be? I went out yesterday to get my ears pierced and wear this earring. On my way back, he stared at me. I thought he was just looking at me for a couple of seconds, but I didn't expect him to stop me and directly ask for money, saying that if I didn't give it to him, he would make me suffer."
"I told him that there are so many people on the main road and there are surveillance cameras, how dare he just rob someone like that?"
"He glanced at the security camera, muttered 'bad luck,' and left. I never expected to see him in the neighborhood again today with someone... Hmm?"
Lin Leyou paused mid-sentence, then his expression turned strange, as if he had just realized something. "Could these two be after me?"
The police officer quickly asked, "Where do you live?"
Lin Leyou gave the exact address of his rented apartment, and after checking, the police confirmed it was indeed in the same building! Although they didn't know which floor it was on, it was definitely not a coincidence!
The police officer took out paper and pen, saying, "Please explain it again in more detail."
Lin Leyou recounted the story in detail with a sorrowful expression. He did not mention that he had sent Zhou Nanyue's mother to work at the factory the previous night, as it was best not to be disturbed.
Police officer: "Young man, you need to be careful. This Zhou Nanyue is a regular at the police station. He hasn't committed any crimes yet, so we can't arrest him. If you really have any problems, remember to call the police immediately!"
Lin Leyou nodded, "Thank you, officer. I understand."
The police couldn't keep an eye on Zhou Nanyue all day long, so they had to let Lin Leyou go back. However, they didn't all leave; one plainclothes officer stayed behind to keep an eye on Zhou Nanyue.
Zhou Nanyue is really too difficult to deal with, and he often gets into trouble. This time he brought a friend here, so he must be keeping an eye on Lin Leyou.
After Lin Leyou returned to his residence, the little spider continued to monitor Zhou Nanyue. Of course, while Zhou Nanyue and the others were sleeping, the little spider would also go to check on other things nearby.
For example, the plainclothes officer standing nearby.
Lin Leyou initially thought the plainclothes officer was there to protect him, but something completely unexpected happened.
After Zhou Nanyue woke up, the plainclothes officer actually looked left and right and walked over to him, and then started chatting with Zhou Nanyue.
The little spider leaned closer to listen to what they were saying.
Zhou Nanyue: "It's you? What are you doing here?"
"What else could it be? The police know you've been here, and they specifically sent me to keep an eye on you. You absolutely cannot do anything to this person!"
Zhou Nanyue: "What's the big deal? Just say we've shaken off your pursuit, okay? Things like this have happened before, haven't they?"
"No way! The past is the past, and the present is the present. Now, I'm ordered to keep an eye on you and that person at the same time. If you really try to get rid of him, I'll definitely be fired."
Zhou Nanyue was furious. Just then, his friend walked over. "What's wrong?"
Upon seeing him, Zhou Nanyue had a sudden inspiration, "In that case, let's do it this way..."
Lin Leyou sneered inwardly when he heard them say these words. To be honest, it was indeed a good idea. If it were anyone else, they might have been robbed or even killed.
Unfortunately, they're after me. I'll teach them a lesson they deserve. Zhou Nanyue should be locked up in jail, and hopefully never come out again.
Ten minutes later, Zhou Nanyue strolled leisurely out of the residential area, whistling, with the plainclothes officer following behind. Zhou Nanyue's friend parted ways with him halfway through the journey.
They slept all day, and it was almost dark when they left the neighborhood. Lin Leyou hadn't slept either, waiting for them to come find him.
Of course, Zhou Nanyue was still being watched by plainclothes officers and had no way to leave, but that didn't matter. He couldn't leave, but his friends had ways to leave.
The plainclothes officer was ordered to keep an eye on Zhou Nanyue, so he kept an eye on Zhou Nanyue. If he lost track of Zhou Nanyue, he was to go back and keep an eye on Lin Leyou.
As long as Zhou Nanyue stays in one place and doesn't move, then other places are none of his concern.
Time flew by, and as the night deepened, Lin Leyou finally met the person she was waiting for around one o'clock in the morning. Zhou Nanyue's little spider had already returned and was hanging in the corner of the corridor outside the door.
Three dark figures quickly appeared in the dark stairwell. One of them looked familiar, and the other two were probably Zhou Nanyue's gambling buddies.
Lin Leyou really didn't expect that Zhou Nanyue would actually do such a thing after seeing her earring on the street and failing to get money from her.
It's amazing how strangers I've never met before could cause such a commotion. Sometimes reality is even more surreal than fictional stories.
Lin Leyou's lips curled up. He didn't go to sleep. Instead, he got up and went to the balcony, hiding in a corner. As long as you didn't go out onto the balcony, you couldn't see him at all.
People outside were picking the lock. Lin Leyou heard the sound of the lock being picked, and within the little spider's field of vision, one of the people was holding professional lock-picking tools.
After fiddling around outside for less than five minutes, the front door of my house opened silently, without using a key or making any noise. It was amazing.
There are indeed many hidden masters among ordinary people!
Lin Leyou peeked inside from the balcony and saw three people quietly searching for something in the house. Unfortunately, apart from some household items, there was nothing of value, not even cash.
Of course, real-world items can't be put in a backpack, so Lin Leyou's cash and cell phone are all on his person.
He's not someone who likes to buy luxury goods. He's already planned to buy some nice things after he moves into the villa. There's no need to buy anything now that he's renting.
The three of them walked around inside for a while before returning to the living room, where they huddled together and spoke in hushed tones.
"There's no one in the room!"
"There aren't any in the toilet either!"
"We've checked other places, but he's not here. Has he not come back today either?"
"If you didn't come back, you didn't come back. But what about the money? Do you have any money?"
"No, we've looked everywhere. The clothes and stuff are all cheap stuff, the kind you can find in supermarkets. Is this guy surnamed Zhou trying to scam us?"
"If this person were really that rich, would they live in such a run-down neighborhood?"
Lin Leyou felt that the term "dilapidated neighborhood" was somewhat inaccurate. The neighborhood was actually quite nice, but in the eyes of this group of people, wealthy people would definitely not live here.
"Damn! Could we have been scammed?!"
"That Zhou guy dares to lie to us? Let's go back and beat him to death!"
"Really not a single penny?"
"I guess the person didn't come back. They had their wallet and phone with them, so it's normal that they don't have a place to stay."
"We're already here, it seems a bit of a loss if we don't take anything. Let's look around some more. It would be good to get a couple of new clothes; we can't go back empty-handed."
"Okay, I'll go take a look."
When Lin Leyou heard them say that, his lips twitched. When he secretly looked inside, he suddenly noticed that two of the three men had knives stuck in their pants!
I see...
Since that's the case, then he won't hold back!
They came to steal, so they didn't turn on the lights when they entered the room, so...
"Ah! My foot!"
One of them screamed and crouched down, clutching his ankle as if he had been injured by something and was in great pain.
"What happened? What's wrong?"
Although the lights were off inside, some distant lights outside allowed them to see something. He took his hand off his ankle and looked at it.
"Blood! It's all blood! My feet hurt so much... my feet..."
The man was terrified when he saw the blood, and he also saw that his shoes were gradually soaked with blood, and he was even walking with a limp.
The other two were even more startled. They were certain that there was no fourth person in the house besides the three of them, and that the injured person had been walking in front of them while the two of them were walking behind.
There was no one in front of them, and only the two of them were behind them. There was no way anyone else could have attacked them, so what happened?
The three of them belatedly realized they were afraid. "Could this... could it be a ghost?"
They were so frightened that they forgot to turn on the lights. Just as they were on guard, another person suddenly felt a chill on his wrist and screamed again.
He watched as a wound appeared out of nowhere on his wrist, and blood gushed out.
He was terrified and immediately pulled out the fruit knife from his waistband, wildly waving it around. The two people who had been standing next to him were caught in the crossfire, suffering cuts on their faces, arms, and chests.
The three screamed and screamed incessantly. Only then did Lin Leyou pick up his phone and call the police. There was a police station nearby, and the police car appeared downstairs in less than three minutes.
The police heard shouts coming from upstairs as they went upstairs. Without waiting, they kicked the door open with brute force.
He turned on the light and saw three people in the room covered in blood. One of them was lying down, his life hanging in the balance, while the other two were still wildly waving knives around. One of them was shouting frantically that there were ghosts.
The other one was shouting, "You motherfucker, there's a ghost!" and then unleashed a barrage of attacks on the person who shouted "there's a ghost!" The two of them ended up slashing at each other with knives.
Even after the police kicked the door open, the two men continued their attack. In the end, the officers had no choice but to pin them down in pools of blood and then take them to the hospital.
