Chapter 87 Don't Let Him Ruin Things
"Sir, after leaving the box, the lady first met Miss Song Nuan. They only had a brief chat, and then she went to Nanshan Cemetery alone..."
The report came clearly from the receiver. Pei Yuezhou's fingertips unconsciously stroked the edge of the phone, his brows never relaxed.
Just that?
But Yu Zhi's appearance at that time did not look like nothing had happened.
Or was it because you went to the cemetery to pay tribute to a friend and were too sad?
But why did she go to the cemetery first after she left?
Pei Yuezhou was puzzled.
He placed his fingertips on his brow, his thoughts turning for a few times, and finally said in a deep voice into the receiver: "Find some time to talk to Song Nuan."
"yes."
Pei Yuezhou hung up the phone, and Yu Zhi changed her clothes and walked out of the room.
He looked up and saw Yu Zhi standing in the warm light, her beige knitted skirt making her skin look even clearer.
She wore a camel-colored short coat, and her long hair was loosely tied behind her head, revealing her slender neck.
Pei Yuezhou didn't say anything, but just walked around behind her, gently wrapped the scarf around her neck, folded it neatly, and finally tucked the corners carefully into the collar of her coat.
"It's windy outside, this will keep out some of the cold."
The two walked out of the villa side by side. The street lights in the courtyard were already on. The warm yellow light shone through the falling snow, casting mottled shadows on the ground.
As she walked along the stone path towards the garden, Yu Zhi could clearly smell the fragrance of plum blossoms wafting through the air, which was crisp and slightly sweet.
At this moment, Xiaoshui's voice suddenly sounded in my mind.
"Master Host, you guessed correctly. They are... mother and son. His age and identity were both fabricated... He has a strong motive for the Chengxi case."
She subconsciously clenched Pei Yuezhou's hand, her fingertips trembling slightly.
Pei Yuezhou noticed her little movement, and quietly slowed down his pace. He turned his head to look at her: "Are you cold? Do you want to go back and get a shawl first?"
"No need." Yu Zhi shook her head.
She avoided Pei Yuezhou's gaze and looked at the bushes on the side of the road, where a thin layer of snow had accumulated. "I didn't expect the snow to last so long this year."
"There were only a few in previous years, but this year is a bit special." Pei Yuezhou continued her words, but his eyes fell on her profile. Looking at her tense jawline, he already knew in his heart.
She was deliberately changing the subject.
"look."
Yu Zhi looked in the direction he pointed and saw a striking red.
“So beautiful.”
Yu Zhi subconsciously leaned closer to Pei Yuezhou, her shoulder gently touching his arm.
Pei Yuezhou noticed her movements, quietly moved towards her, and used the hem of his coat to block some of the wind for her.
"When spring comes, how about we go live in the mountains for a few days?" Pei Yuezhou suddenly said in a soft voice, "There's a wild plum forest over there, bigger than the one here. We can pick some plum blossoms to make jam and even boil plum wine."
Yu Zhi looked up at him. He was looking at the fallen plum blossoms on the snow with anticipation in his eyes.
She nodded gently: "Okay."
**
The fragrance of plum blossoms from the villa in the west of the city seemed to still linger in her nose. Yu Zhi sat in front of the computer in her study, but her fingertips no longer had the lightness of tapping on the keyboard as before.
During the two days she returned to the main house, she felt like there was a stone pressing on her heart.
The fog in front of her eyes had clearly been cleared, but she couldn't feel happy at all.
The screen suddenly flashed, and a light blue pop-up window popped up in the lower right corner.
It was the hacker she had been fighting with for a long time.
He always jumps out from time to time to compete with her.
If it were in the past, Yu Zhi would have accepted the challenge without hesitation.
But recently, she has been really exhausted.
[Are you being lazy again? Young man, it's not good to be unskilled.]
The text in the pop-up window was a bit provocative, and then the icons on the computer desktop began to jump disorderly, obviously the other party had broken through the first layer of defense.
Yu Zhi rubbed her tight temples, a trace of fatigue flashing across her eyes.
She typed the next line quickly.
[I'm not free recently, I'll compare it next time. ]
However, just as the reply was sent successfully, data disorder suddenly appeared on the screen. The originally orderly code flow instantly turned into garbled code. Then, the entire system interface was forcibly switched to binary mode.
[No choice.]
"It's really troublesome." Yu Zhi cursed softly and had to concentrate all her energy to deal with it.
The two's skills were evenly matched. During the code battle, the attack and defense progress bars on the screen went back and forth, and it was difficult to determine the winner.
Just when Yu Zhi cracked the seventh encrypted packet sent by the other party, two abnormal low-frequency signals were suddenly mixed in the data stream.
It is not the opponent's attack link, nor is it a regular device signal in the home LAN.
Her pupils shrank slightly, and she immediately paused the confrontation with the opponent and called up the signal spectrum analyzer.
On the spectrum graph, two red signal sources are particularly eye-catching. One is located in the 1.2GHz frequency band, with stable signal strength, and the location is displayed at the position of the celadon vase in the living room.
The other one is in the 0.8GHz low frequency band, and the signal fluctuates slightly with the moving trajectory. The tracing results point to Pei Yuezhou's black business car.
It is a monitoring device, and a professional-grade directional monitor that can automatically filter out environmental noise and only capture the human voice frequency band.
Yu Zhi's fingertips paused, and even her breathing slowed down a beat.
Who would install a bug in their home?
Is it directed at her or Pei Yuezhou?
She forced herself to calm down, and her fingertips moved quickly. While the other party was still dealing with her defense system, she quietly hacked into the signal channel of the monitor.
As soon as the connection was made, clear conversation was heard from the monitor in the business car. It was the voices of Pei Yuezhou and Lin Zhi.
"Have you made arrangements with Yu Heng?" Pei Yuezhou's voice was colder than usual. He no longer had the gentleness he had when facing her, but instead carried an unquestionable determination.
"Everything has been arranged. He's already checked into the hotel, and several people have been assigned to keep an eye on him." Lin Zhi's voice was very respectful. "But... as for Mr. Yu, do you want to give him a few more details? In case something unexpected happens..."
"No need." Pei Yuezhou interrupted him, without a trace of worry in his tone, "He just needs to follow the plan and lure out the person behind the scenes."
"But as for my wife..."
"She won't know." Pei Yuezhou paused, as if remembering something, and added, "Keep an eye on Song Chuhe, don't let him ruin my plans."
Song Chuhe’s people were also present in this overseas bidding.
Yu Zhi could no longer hear the rest of the words.
Her ears were buzzing and the provocative text on the screen was still flashing.
My fingertips suddenly lost their strength and the keyboard made a clicking sound.
The hacker seemed to notice her distraction, and the attack on the screen suddenly stopped. The pop-up window popped up again, but this time the text was less provocative and more doubtful.
【Why are you distracted? 】
Yu Zhi didn't reply, but just stared at the signal bar of the monitor on the screen.
While still transmitting, the conversation between Pei Yuezhou and Lin Zhi has ended.
