Chapter 144: It's empty anyway, so why not just sleep here?
The bodyguard in charge of reconnaissance reported back: "The falling rocks are quite large, we need to wait for a professional clearing vehicle to arrive, it may take a while."
Yun Yang turned to look out the window. It was pitch black outside, and all she could hear was the howling of the sea wind and the muffled sound of waves crashing against the rocks in the distance.
Something's not right.
Yun Yang's brows furrowed slightly.
It's not surprising that there was a rolling stone.
But she still couldn't help but overthink.
Because the system was too quiet, there was no further activity after I left.
Something unusual must be going on.
Her heart tightened, and she immediately took out her phone.
"I'll contact my family to see if they've been burgled again."
As she spoke, she dialed the phone number of the bodyguard in the villa.
The call was quickly connected, and a bodyguard's respectful voice came from the other end, reporting that everything at the villa was normal and there were no abnormalities.
Yun Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Maybe I'm just being too sensitive.
After hanging up the phone, the car returned to silence.
Time passed by, second by second.
The waiting process is always long.
The sound of the wind outside the car was like a lullaby. Xiaoxin had fallen asleep leaning back in his seat without anyone noticing, and was breathing steadily and softly.
Listening to the little guy's even breathing, Yun Yang also felt a wave of drowsiness wash over her.
So much happened today.
She had been on edge the whole time, and now that she relaxed, her eyelids started to droop.
She closed her eyes, her head bobbing up and down, and finally fell into a deep sleep.
I don't know how much time has passed.
"Boom!"
The sound of a tow truck operating could be heard in the distance; the vehicle shook slightly before restarting.
But Yunyang and Xiaoxin were both sleeping too soundly to be awakened.
It was already late at night when the car smoothly drove back to the seaside villa.
The car door was gently opened.
Fu Xiaoting unbuckled his seatbelt, turned to his side, and carefully picked up the already sleeping Yun Yang in his arms.
Her body was light and soft, sinking into his arms, her head unconsciously rubbing against his chest.
Fu Xiaoting paused, looking down at her peaceful sleeping face with an unprecedented tenderness in his eyes.
He held her in his arms, turned around, and got out of the car.
"Sir, something's happened..."
A bodyguard rushed over in a panic, about to report loudly.
"Shhh."
Fu Xiaoting immediately made a shushing gesture and swept his sharp eyes over.
The bodyguard's voice abruptly stopped.
Fu Xiaoting lowered his head and glanced at Yun Yang in his arms. Her brows furrowed slightly in her sleep, but thankfully she didn't wake up.
He gave Guchiro a wink.
Then, carrying Yunyang, he walked into the villa without looking back and went straight upstairs.
No matter what terrible thing happens, it has to take a backseat now.
Yunyang went to sleep.
She had already suffered enough today, and he couldn't bear to let her worry about anything else.
As Gukiro watched his master's retreating figure, he understood perfectly.
He turned around, his face darkening, and looked at the bodyguard who had come to report, lowering his voice.
"What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic?"
The bodyguard swallowed hard and said nervously, "Butler Ju, those two people in the basement have both run away."
Another bodyguard led Pan'er over.
The little girl's eyes were red, and tears still clung to her fair face, making it seem as if she had been crying for a long time.
As soon as she saw Jukiro, her tears fell even harder, and she sobbed as she spoke.
"I...I drugged the uncle who guards the basement."
"Then...then the door opened."
Pan'er quickly explained, shaking her little hand vigorously: "But I don't know what happened! As soon as I realized what I had done, I immediately told the other uncles!"
Gukiro's brows furrowed deeply.
He knew that Butler Yun and Miss Shen both liked the child very much.
So, I patiently tried to make my voice sound less frightening.
Have you encountered any suspicious people?
The little girl sniffed, tried hard to recall, and then shook her head.
"There is no suspicious person."
"I only encountered one suspicious cockroach in the kitchen."
"There shouldn't be any cockroaches this season, and that cockroach can even fly."
Gukiro: "..."
Flying cockroaches?
For a moment, he couldn't tell whether the child was genuinely stupid or pretending.
How could a five-year-old girl drug two well-trained bodyguards without them noticing, and even open a specially made door lock?
Looking at the little girl crying her eyes out, he felt utterly overwhelmed.
Helplessly, he waved to the bodyguard beside him.
"Lock him up first."
He swore to God that he had tried his best to keep his voice down.
But it still scared Pan'er so much that she trembled all over, and her crying instantly rose a notch.
"Wow--"
Gukiro sighed.
He simply couldn't believe that such a young child could cause any great trouble.
There must be someone behind this.
So he changed his mind and said, "Never mind, let's take her back to her room to sleep first."
"I'll go upstairs to find the gentleman now."
...
Fu Xiaoting was not in his room.
They are currently in Yunyang's room.
He half-squatted by the bed, propped his chin up with one hand, and quietly looked at the sleeping girl on the bed with a focused and gentle gaze.
He reached out and gently tucked a strand of hair that had fallen across her cheek behind her ear.
He lowered his head and placed a soft, feather-like kiss on Yun Yang's smooth forehead.
His gaze fell on the empty pillow next to Yun Yang.
It's empty anyway, so why not just sleep here?
Forget it, I'll just think about it.
He carefully got up and tiptoed to the door.
His steps suddenly stopped.
They turned back.
They took Yunyang's empty pillow.
...
The next day.
Yunyang was awakened by the clanging sound of a truck.
She groggily opened her eyes, turned over, covered her head with the blanket, and tried to go back to sleep.
But not long after that...
"Bang!"
The door was suddenly pushed open.
A striking blue figure rushed in like a gust of wind.
"Yunyang! I've missed you so much! A day apart feels like three autumns!"
Shen Mingyue's loud voice instantly dispelled all of Yun Yang's sleepiness.
Yunyang peeked out from under the covers and rubbed her eyes.
"This is more like one night than a day."
Despite her complaints, she immediately sat up in bed and perked up.
He grabbed Shen Mingyue's arm and looked her up and down, scrutinizing her from left to right.
"Why are you back so early? Did they do anything to you?"
Shen Mingyue waved her hand casually and sat down on the edge of Yun Yang's bed.
"How could they let me die a worthless death at home?"
Her tone was relaxed, but Yun Yang still detected a subtle hint of melancholy.
The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat melancholic.
Yunyang patted her hand: "Don't say that, you will definitely live to be a hundred years old."
Shen Mingyue, however, seemed unconcerned.
"It's just a fact! Let's not talk about that!"
She suddenly leaned closer to Yunyang and winked mysteriously.
"Don't underestimate me just because I was only back for a short while; I've had quite a fruitful trip!"
"I brought all my fur back with me!"
Yun Yang stared at her in shock: "...Mao?"
"Didn't you bring anything of value back?"
"What are you talking about? My fur is the most valuable thing in the world!"
Yunyang tried to correct her logic.
"No, no, no, it should be called precious, but I think you can't eat hair if you're hungry. Of course, you can decide for yourself."
"In order to have a place to put these furs," Shen Mingyue raised her chin and announced with a proud look, "I've asked for a building in the city center."
Yun Yang's eyes widened suddenly.
"Really? A whole building?!"
Shen Mingyue nodded smugly.
Yun Yang excitedly grabbed Shen Mingyue's arm and began to shake it.
"Real estate! My God! You won't have to worry for the rest of your life! They just gave it to you so readily?"
Shen Mingyue's eyes suddenly dimmed at that moment.
"They told me to kill Xiao Jun and my aunt."
"Then, help me settle everything and make sure I don't actually go to jail."
Shen Mingyue gave a self-deprecating laugh.
"I don't believe them for a second."
Yun Yang stared blankly at Shen Mingyue, her mind buzzing, still unable to process the enormous amount of information.
Let her kill Fu Xiaojun and Su Wanqing?
When the incident comes to light, Shen Mingyue's real estate will become her estate.
So they were betting she wouldn't live to spend the money, that's why they were so generous.
Just then, another shock came.
"Bang--"
The room window was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
Xiao Xin jumped in through the window, using both his hands and feet.
A gust of cold wind rushed in.
His face was deathly pale, his expression panicked, and his blue eyes were filled with terror.
"elder sister!"
"Pan'er is missing! She's gone!"
