The moment Yu Jiamu saw the figure on the ground, his previously agitated mind instantly cleared.
He slammed on the brakes with his right foot, his heart pounding, and the surge of adrenaline made him break out in a cold sweat.
I almost bumped into her.
This realization terrified him, and his teeth even felt weak.
Yu Jiamu quickly unbuckled his seatbelt, got out of the car, and ran to Lin Zhenzhen's side.
How did you get here?
Lin Zhenzhen reached out and grabbed his arm, using it to stand up.
The wound on my leg was being pulled and throbbed with pain.
She took a deep breath and forced a smile.
He took out his phone and typed: Didn't I say I was going to go with you? Why did you leave first by yourself?
Her smile unsettled Yu Jiamu.
He lowered his head, somewhat flustered, and said, "I thought you didn't want to."
A hand gently stroked his head.
Lin Zhenzhen brought her face close to his and gently shook her head.
He mouthed the answer: I'm willing.
She suddenly remembered something and frowned slightly.
Yu Jiamu's heart leaped into his throat: "What's wrong?"
Lin Zhenzhen: I left something on the road.
The two drove back, and when they reached a certain spot, Lin Zhenzhen tugged at his sleeve, signaling him to brake.
Yu Jiamu never expected that what she was talking about was actually a suitcase.
A mix of overwhelming sweetness and frustration surged within me.
Yu Jiamu now feels that he was a fool for having such wild thoughts half an hour ago.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong."
He grabbed Lin Zhenzhen and, like a spoiled dog, licked and bit her earlobe.
Lin Zhenzhen pushed him away and then lightly patted his shoulder.
Yu Jiamu was stunned for two seconds, then looked at her with a somewhat aggrieved expression.
Lin Zhenzhen clasped her hands together and said seriously: You are not allowed to drive like that in the future.
Yu Jiamu curled his lips into a smile, his eyes narrowing into slits with pleasure.
He clung to her again, whispering in her ear, "I know, I promise I won't do it again."
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and quickly paused on Lin Zhenzhen's lips.
Consider this a small advance reward for me.
Lin Zhenzhen's eyes widened: What kind of reward do you get for making a mistake?
Yu Jiamu seemed to suddenly realize something and said "Oh".
"Then I'll give it back to you?"
He quickly followed up, and this time he didn't just dabble.
Even when they got off the bus, both of them were still breathing unsteadily.
Lin Zhenzhen walked straight ahead, seemingly in a huff, while Yu Jiamu slowly followed behind, dragging his suitcase.
To anyone else, this would look like a scene of a husband coaxing his wife home after a fight between the young couple.
Stepping out of the elevator, Lin Zhenzhen placed her finger on the fingerprint lock.
With a "beep", the door opened.
Such a natural and small gesture filled Yu Jiamu with a sense of satisfaction from the bottom of his heart.
The missing part in my heart was filled to the brim.
Only the person in front of me can fill the huge void in my soul.
Yu Jiamu put the box in the master bedroom.
As he walked, he said, "The bed I ordered will arrive soon. I'll make do on the sofa for the next couple of days."
Turning around, I found Lin Zhenzhen frowning and staring at the computer screen.
The screen was still showing the interface where he sent an email to Yu's father, with several thumbnails of Wen Hongying and her lover next to it.
Lin Zhenzhen stepped forward and zoomed in on the picture, zooming in again and again.
Finally, the mouse hovered over the man's face.
Her face turned deathly pale in an instant, and she slumped into the chair as if she had seen something terrifying.
Yu Jiamu stepped forward, turned off the computer screen, and held her protectively in his arms.
She gently comforted him, "What's wrong?"
Lin Zhenzhen closed her eyes, seemingly deep in thought.
After a long silence, she took out her phone and said: I suspect that the fire back then was not an accident.
Yu Jiamu's brow twitched suddenly.
He realized: "Is it related to Wen Hongying?"
Lin Zhenzhen nodded: The man who followed me back then was him.
She pointed at the computer, her fingers still trembling slightly.
Yu Jiamu had heard her mention being followed before. Based on the timeline, the two incidents, being followed and the fire, occurred within a few months of each other.
If he was Wen Hongying's lover, he would have a strong motive to commit the crime.
Yu Jiamu had a vague conclusion in his mind.
He originally intended to say that he would investigate the matter himself.
But he stopped himself from saying it.
He pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go to the police station with you first thing tomorrow morning to report this situation."
After saying that, he added, "I will also arrange for people to investigate along this line of thought. What do you think?"
Lin Zhenzhen looked into his eyes and nodded.
Yu Jiamu smiled and patted her head: "Don't worry, I won't act on my own again."
Lin Zhenzhen had indescribable feelings.
She looked up, stood on tiptoe, and gave him a kiss.
She suppressed the urge to flush her already burning cheeks and explained: "A reward."
Yu Jiamu was taken aback, and a dangerous black light surged in the vortex in his eyes.
Such small gestures were an irresistible provocation to him.
This person has completely captured my heart.
Let her laugh, scold, and rave, she can mold and flatten him as she pleases.
Yu Jiamu was eventually pushed out of the room by Lin Zhenzhen.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, your revenge progress bar has increased by 10. Current progress: 10/100.]
Before it could even get serious for two seconds, the cold electronic voice switched to the system's pig grunts in an instant.
[Oh my god, Wen Hongying's lover has been arrested. Finally, our mission is showing some progress.]
【Oh.】 Lin Zhenzhen didn't seem very interested.
The system, assuming she was complaining about the slow progress, quickly explained: "Don't worry, we're the type to build up our momentum gradually. The progress bar will rise very quickly later on."
Once one of the arsonists is apprehended, the truth will soon come to light by meticulously investigating each case.
Lin Zhenzhen suddenly stopped what she was doing.
How many more contribution points do I need to accumulate before I can return to the real world?
[Um, let me check. The host currently has 34,020 contribution points, and will need approximately 56,930 more!]
Lin Zhenzhen: ......
Is this even human language?
[It's alright! Host, if you want to resolve the contribution point issue quickly, I can apply for double the difficulty of the next small world.]
[You'll get tons of contribution points then!]
Lin Zhenzhen collapsed onto the bed, exhausted. Her mind was foggy, and she couldn't hear what it was saying at all.
I just instinctively replied: 【Add, add, add quickly.】
While she was asleep, the system in her mind was working hard to review the difficulty of the small worlds to be conquered.
A small world displaying star ratings "?" suddenly popped up in front of it.
The system opened the detailed introduction, and after reading only two lines, its eyes immediately lit up.
"Wow, you can do that?"
The system made its decision: "That's it, that's it!"
Soon after, Lin Zhenzhen, who was deeply mired in the quagmire, wished she could travel back to this moment and knock this idiotic system unconscious.
