Chapter 300 Evil Thoughts
Hearing her mother mention her eldest brother, Su Xiangnan, Su Xiangwan felt a little worried.
After my older brother returned, he only showed up for a few days at the beginning, said he had something to do, and then left. He has never come back since.
What could possibly be keeping him so busy these past few days that he hasn't even had a chance to show his face?
They didn't even make a single phone call.
Although she had doubts in her heart, Su Xiangwan did not show them in front of her parents.
Instead, she smiled and reassured her, "Mom, my older brother is all grown up, and he's always been reliable, so you don't need to worry too much!"
"That's true. Your older brother is always the most reliable person. He's been away for so long and only just returned. He must have been very busy." Hearing Su Xiangwan say this, Su's mother was still worried, but she didn't continue the topic.
The eldest son has a special status, and everything he does is for the country and its people.
For this, he also bears enormous risks.
These parents, though worried, could only respect their son's wishes.
Xu Yirou got up later than Su Xiangwan.
After all, she wasn't like Su Xiangwan, who had a spatial dimension to accompany her and a spiritual spring to nourish her body.
Especially... her interactions with Wu Yong'an were real-world.
So she slept until lunchtime before getting up.
After grabbing a quick bite to eat, Xu Yirou strolled towards the Gu family's courtyard.
At this moment, she was extremely grateful that she had listened to Su Xiangwan's advice and moved into the new home early.
Being just a few steps away from Su Xiangwan, it couldn't be more convenient for them to move around together.
Just as she approached Su Xiangwan's courtyard, she saw a disheveled person peeking around outside the courtyard.
Upon seeing her approach, he quickly shrank back and then disappeared from sight.
Xu Yirou's eyes flashed, but she pretended not to notice anything amiss and knocked on Su Xiangwan's courtyard gate with a normal expression.
After Uncle Wang opened the door, he walked in at a leisurely pace.
"Miss Xu, our eldest daughter lives next door."
Wang Bo and Xu Yirou were already familiar with each other, and he spoke directly as soon as she entered the room.
"Thank you, Uncle Wang."
Hearing Uncle Wang's words, Xu Yirou thanked him and, without needing Uncle Wang to lead the way, went directly through the moon gate between the two courtyards to the neighboring courtyard.
As soon as I entered the garden, I heard a burst of laughter and cheerful chatter.
Niannian was playing around the toy train that Su Xiangbei had bought for her, while the others chatted and occasionally teased the little guy, Niannian.
"Yi Rou, you're here!"
Seeing Xu Yirou walk over, Su Xiangwan waved to her, gesturing for her to sit down next to her, and poured her a cup of hot tea.
After Xu Yirou politely greeted the elders, she sat down next to Su Xiangwan and whispered to her, "Sister-in-law, when I came here just now, I noticed a suspicious person outside your house, staring at your yard. He looked like he had ill intentions. Have you offended someone recently?"
"Staring at our yard?" Su Xiangwan paused in peeling the orange, her eyes suddenly turning sharp.
"That's right, but the other person was disheveled, so I couldn't see his face clearly. I'm very sorry. I can only confirm that he was a man."
Xu Yirou said somewhat shyly.
After all, the incident happened too suddenly, and the other party was quite far away and very alert. After she appeared, he turned around and left.
Therefore, she didn't have time to see the other person's face clearly.
"A man."
Upon hearing this answer, Su Xiangwan pondered for a moment.
After all, the answer was too general, and they couldn't determine exactly who it was.
Hearing their conversation, Gu's father said, "In that case, let's all be careful during this time. Anyway, the gate between the two courtyards has already been opened, so when the two families visit each other, we can go through the moon gate."
As he spoke, he glanced at Niannian and said, "The most important thing is to keep a close eye on Niannian and not let him go out, lest bad people take advantage of him. Also, the three of you, from now on, Zhengyu and Chengyuan must pick you up and drop you off at school, and try not to leave you alone."
Upon hearing this, Su Xiangwan frowned and said, "We're alright, we almost never have a chance to be alone, but Yi Rou is..."
Wu Yong'an is away on a mission, so Xu Yirou is all alone at home.
Especially since she lives in a spacious courtyard house; what if the other party really has their eye on her...?
Thinking of this, Su Xiangwan said, "Yi Rou, why don't you come and stay with us?"
Xu Yirou hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I think it's better not to! This is just my guess; maybe I'm just worrying too much!"
It's really not a good idea to move into Su Xiangwan's house just because of a baseless guess.
Moreover, how long will this stay last?
Xu Yirou hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and refused.
At worst, I'll just be more careful lately and keep the doors and windows closed at all times.
This area is one of the safest places in the capital; no one would be so bold as to break into a house and do something wrong.
After hearing Xu Yirou's refusal, Su Xiangwan did not insist any further.
He just decided in his heart that he would ask Wang Zhengyu and the others to pay more attention to the surrounding movements.
Su's father and mother also took note of this and immediately ordered their men to investigate thoroughly.
Because Wu Yong'an had gone on a mission, Su Xiangwan let Xu Yirou stay at home for dinner.
Only after Wang Zhengyu escorted Xu Yirou back did he feel at ease.
In the following days, Wang Zhengyu and his group kept a close eye on the movements around the courtyard.
However, no further suspects were found.
Apart from the occasional beggar passing by, no other strangers were seen lingering here or behaving suspiciously.
The crowd felt a little more at ease.
Perhaps the other person was just a beggar who was passing by and became jealous of the Gu family's wealth; who knows?
However, that night, just as Xu Yirou finished reading her book and was about to go to bed...
Suddenly, a noise came from the courtyard.
It sounded like something heavy had fallen to the ground.
"who?"
Xu Yirou asked in a low voice.
There was no answer from the person outside the door, only the sound of footsteps approaching her room.
Xu Yirou's heart jumped into her throat instantly.
Although the doors and windows were all closed tightly.
But even at this moment, she still felt like she had a thorn in her side.
Sure enough, the next moment, her door was kicked open.
The man's rough, malicious voice came through the door to Xu Yirou's ears: "Open the door! You bitch, how dare you ruin my good time! I'm going to kill you today!"
