Chapter 835 Strange Noises at Home
But after that, the two lost contact again.
Bai Haoqi's sudden call to her at this moment truly surprised Ye Wanxi.
Upon hearing the name "Bai Haoqi," Feng Tianyu instinctively perked up his ears. He hadn't forgotten that before confirming his relationship with his junior sister, he had once misunderstood the relationship between this person and his junior sister.
Although it was later confirmed that his junior sister did not have any romantic feelings for him, who can guarantee that this guy did not have any designs on his junior sister?
Ye Wanxi was unaware of what her jealous senior brother was thinking. After a brief moment of surprise, she quickly answered the phone.
"Young Master Bai?"
"Miss Ye, it's so late, I hope I haven't disturbed you."
"No, I was just about to go home. Is there something you need, Young Master Bai, for calling me at this hour?"
"It's like this, I have a very good friend, and some strange things have been happening to his family recently. Although nothing seems wrong with his family, he's still quite uneasy. So, I'd like to ask Miss Ye to go and take a look. I wonder if Miss Ye has the time?"
Ye Wanxi naturally had no reason to turn away business that came to her door, and besides, she had met Bai Haoqi a few times and had a reasonably good understanding of his personality.
The fact that the other person asked her for help suggests they have a good relationship. Her going now is a way of doing him a favor, as a way of thanking him for his strong support during the last pandemic.
"Sure, I'm free these next couple of days. When is a convenient time for your friend?"
Bai Haoqi's tone revealed a hint of joy upon hearing this: "He's available anytime, the specific time depends on your arrangements, Miss Ye."
"Then let's do it tomorrow morning. Give me his address and let him know in advance, so that I don't suddenly show up and offend them."
"Don't worry, Miss Ye, I will explain the situation to him in advance."
"Then it's settled."
After finishing her business, Ye Wanxi hung up the phone, but when she turned her head, she met Feng Tianyu's bright eyes.
"……What's wrong?"
"Are you going to see Bai Haoqi tomorrow?"
Ye Wanxi blinked and explained, "I'm not going to see Bai Haoqi, I'm going to see Bai Haoqi's friend. Something strange has been happening at his friend's house lately, and he asked me to go and see if there's anything wrong."
Feng Tianyu's eyes flickered slightly: "Will Bai Haoqi also be going tomorrow?"
Ye Wanxi was slightly taken aback, then shook her head and said, "I don't know about that, I don't think so."
Should? Feng Tianyu's mind lit up instantly: "I'll go with you tomorrow."
Ye Wanxi looked at him suspiciously: "Don't you have to go to work tomorrow?"
She hadn't forgotten that just two days ago, Guan Xuan had specifically called to complain about her boss openly skipping work and not doing his job, and she was crying terribly on the other end of the phone.
"It's nothing." Feng Tianyu said matter-of-factly, not caring at all. "Anyway, I've already taken half a month off, so a day or two won't make a difference."
Ye Wanxi: “…”
She had a feeling that Mr. Guan was going to cry again.
Guan Xuan did cry, and he cried very loudly. While working overtime, he secretly cursed his love-obsessed boss. His words and actions revealed the powerless rage of a working man and the jealousy and hatred of a single person.
Unfortunately, as an exploited worker, no matter how indignant he was, he ultimately couldn't outmaneuver his own boss.
The next morning, Ye Wanxi and her companion left early and arrived at the address Bai Haoqi had given Ye Wanxi on time.
Bai Haoqi's friend lives in a simple yet elegant two-story villa. It's not very big, but it has a small courtyard with a soft lawn, where one or two children can play.
As if hearing a commotion outside, someone soon came out to meet them.
Two people came out: one was Bai Haoqi, whom Ye Wanxi and her companion knew, and the other was a tall, thin man who looked a year or two older than him.
The moment Feng Tianyu saw Bai Haoqi, he had a feeling of "I knew it" and became more cautious and wary of him.
"Miss Ye." Bai Haoqi greeted Feng Tianyu with a smile, noticing his slight surprise. "President Feng is here too. Please come in."
Ye Wanxi and Bai Haoqi nodded and followed Bai Haoqi and Bai Haoqi into the courtyard.
"Let me introduce you. This is my friend, Zhai Yizhong. Yizhong, this is Ms. Ye, whom I mentioned to you before. This is President Feng, Ms. Ye's... boyfriend."
Zhai Yizhong's smile was somewhat forced. Of course, he knew who Ye Wanxi was and what her relationship was with this President Feng.
He just didn't expect that Bai Haoqi's invitation would not only bring Ye Wanxi, but also get President Feng as a bonus!
"I've heard so much about you. Haoqi has mentioned Miss Ye to me several times before. Haoqi has been weak since childhood, and if it weren't for Miss Ye, he definitely wouldn't have recovered so easily."
Just as Ye Wanxi had expected, Zhai Yizhong and Bai Haoqi had grown up together since childhood, so their relationship was naturally closer than that of others.
Zhai Yizhong's grandfather was a herb farmer who collected medicinal herbs. He had a cooperative relationship with Old Master Bai, and the two families became quite familiar with each other over time.
In addition, Zhai Yizhong was only a few years older than Bai Haoqi. Bai Haoqi didn't have many playmates when he was young. Only when this older brother came to the house with his grandfather to deliver medicine would he play with him. That's how the two became familiar with each other.
Later, Bai Haoqi's grandfather passed away, and the cooperation between the two families ended.
However, Zhai Yizhong and Bai Haoqi did not lose contact because of this. On the contrary, when Bai Haoqi's health deteriorated, Zhai Yizhong would often send him some precious medicinal herbs that were not available outside to help him recover.
In other words, it was Zhai Yizhong who got into trouble. If it were anyone else, Bai Haoqi might not have been willing to ask Ye Wanxi for help.
As they were talking, they pushed open the door and entered the house. The house was not particularly luxurious, but it was very clean and tidy.
Even the foam boards and children's toys laid out along the edge of the hall were neatly arranged, without the slightest sign of disorder.
Ye Wanxi glanced around the hall and got straight to the point: "Young Master Bai said that a lot of strange things have happened in your family recently. Could you tell me more about them?"
Zhai Yizhong subconsciously turned to look at Bai Haoqi. After seeing him nod, he sighed and said, "This is what happened. About a month ago, my wife was feeling unwell and came home early. She kept feeling like someone was following her. But every time she turned around, she couldn't see anyone. In the end, she got really scared and ran home."
“I thought that was the end of it. After that, I paid close attention to her surroundings and picked her up from work on time every day, so that I would no longer let her take the bus home alone at night. But I never expected that from that day on, some strange noises that had never happened before would frequently appear in my house.”
