Chapter 675 Midnight Knock (1/2)



However, if that noise continues tonight, she will definitely call the property management immediately and ask them to take care of it.

Seeing that Yuan Fang and Yan Xiaoxiao were already discussing what the person who was disturbing the peace in the middle of the night was doing, Lin Xi sighed helplessly and then reminded Yan Xiaoxiao.

"Your forehead looks a bit grayish. Remember to go home early tonight and don't open the door to just anyone in the middle of the night."

Fortunately, the yin energy on Yan Xiaoxiao's body was not severe, and judging from her appearance, it didn't seem like she was going to have any major problems.

At most, it's just bad luck.

As for Lin Xi's instruction not to open the door casually at night, it was naturally because her luck was not good today, and the yin energy was heavy at night, making it easier for something to happen.

Yan Xiaoxiao and Yuan Fang were stunned when they heard this.

The two exchanged a glance, quickly realized what was happening, and then both looked at Lin Xi.

"Master Lin, is something going to happen to me/her tonight?!"

The two asked Lin Xi in unison.

Lin Xi neither shook her head nor nodded, but simply said, "There might be a little trouble, but it's nothing serious. Just stay home tonight and don't go out or open the door to anyone, and everything will be fine."

The reason why I didn't go into detail is because that's all I can tell from Yan Xiaoxiao's appearance so far.

Upon hearing this, Yan Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief.

However, according to Lin Xi, the trouble she encountered wouldn't be too big, and she could simply stay at home as instructed.

But the thought of the possibility of encountering danger still made Yan Xiaoxiao feel uneasy.

So she quickly said to Lin Xi.

"Xiao Lin, no, Master Lin, do you have any way to guarantee that I will be 100% safe? I'm still a little scared."

Seeing that Yan Xiaoxiao was really nervous, Lin Xi took out a talisman and said to her.

"This amulet can protect you, but are you sure you want to buy it?"

Lin Xi felt that Yan Xiaoxiao's problem wasn't too serious, so there was no need to buy a talisman.

When Yan Xiaoxiao heard that there was such a thing as a talisman, she was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

After finding out the price of Lin Xi's amulet, she quickly transferred the money to her, then carefully placed the amulet close to her body, and finally felt completely at ease.

Perhaps it was because of the amulet that Yan Xiaoxiao felt refreshed and energetic, and even the fatigue and weakness she felt after waking up in the morning disappeared.

She was in great spirits all day.

It wasn't until she was about to leave work that she remembered what Lin Xi had told her that morning.

Judging from Lin Xi's tone, something is most likely going to happen outside tonight.

Normally, Yan Xiaoxiao, a master gossip enthusiast, would definitely dig deep and find out what's going on outside.

But tonight, she decided to strictly follow Lin Xi's instructions: go home immediately after get off work, and then close the doors and windows as soon as she got home. No matter who knocked on the door at night or what noises were going on outside, she would not open the door!

From the time she got off work until she got home, she followed the plan strictly.

The refrigerator at home is full of vegetables, and she is used to cooking for herself after get off work. So, once she gets home, unless she wants to go out, she has everything she needs and doesn't have to go out at all.

After locking all the doors and windows, Yan Xiaoxiao made herself dinner. After eating, she immediately washed up and went to bed, deciding to put on her headphones and scroll through her phone for a while before going to sleep.

As long as she falls asleep, and with the amulet on her person, nothing that happens at night will affect her.

However, she had a good plan, but before she knew it, it was past eleven o'clock.

It seems she didn't watch for very long; three or four hours passed in the blink of an eye.

When Yan Xiaoxiao saw the time, she was shocked.

How did her time slip away again without her noticing!

hateful!

It was almost midnight. Yan Xiaoxiao thought about her plans before leaving get off work. Although she was still a little reluctant to put down her phone, she finally did.

However, for someone like her who forces herself to put down her phone and go to sleep, her mind is clear at this moment, and she doesn't feel sleepy. She needs to get going for a while.

During the process of preparing, Yan Xiaoxiao unconsciously began to listen to the sounds outside.

Although she was prepared not to open the door no matter what she heard, she was still secretly worried about what might happen outside tonight.

But after listening for a while, they didn't find anything unusual.

Just as she was getting sleepy, she suddenly heard a familiar voice again.

Yan Xiaoxiao's eyes suddenly widened.

That sound!

Wasn't that the disturbing sound she heard last night when she was half asleep?

I can't believe that the person who was disturbing the peace last night wasn't reported, but they're back again tonight!

She instinctively reached for her phone on the bedside table to call the property management, but stopped short of making a move.

She realized that if she called the property management now, they would definitely come up to her to ask for more details, and might even come to her home to listen to the so-called "noise disturbance." In the end, they might even ask her to continue to assist in the investigation.

Normally, Yan Xiaoxiao would never have complained about cooperating with the property management.

But not tonight!

Lin Xi had specifically instructed her not to open the door to just anyone at night.

So if the property management comes later, she'll have to open the door for them, which would go against Lin Xi's advice to her.

After some hesitation, Yan Xiaoxiao decided not to call the property management to complain tonight; she could just endure it for another night.

She quickly pulled out her headphones and put them on, trying to block out some of the noise.

But not everyone shares her idea and intends to endure it a little longer.

Yan Xiaoxiao's neighbor couldn't stand it anymore.

Last night, Yan Xiaoxiao wasn't the only one who heard the annoying noise; almost all the residents on this floor heard it.

However, it was too late yesterday, and most people were in a similar situation to Yan Xiaoxiao, sleeping in a half-awake state. Although they were woken up briefly, they quickly fell back asleep.
