After finishing dinner, Suiyi went to her bedroom and locked the door from the inside.
He glanced at the surveillance footage without making it obvious, and the more he looked, the more annoyed he became.
Sui Yi went into the bathroom to tidy herself up. After washing up, Sui Yi remembered that the watch that the original owner used to contact informants had been left in the front hall because she was going to wash vegetables.
Sui Yi quickly ran out and searched the places she had been to for the special watch, but she couldn't find it anywhere.
In this family, besides myself, only Lou Yan would take the initiative to do anything.
Following her memory, Sui Yi arrived at Lou Yan's door and knocked, but no one answered for a long time. Sui Yi turned the doorknob; the door wasn't locked. Anxious, Sui Yi opened the door and went inside.
She had just stepped inside when, as if remembering something, Sui Yi bent down to check if anyone was in the room.
When Suiyi looked over, there was no one inside. She cautiously walked in, like a thief, because such behavior would be particularly damaging to her image.
Suiyi gently closed the door, but when she turned around, she saw a figure behind her and was startled.
"Ah!" After recognizing Lou Yan, Sui Yi patted her chest to calm her wildly beating heart.
"What? Feeling guilty?" The man's handsome eyes held a mischievous glint as he looked at her, even his thick eyebrows seemed to ripple with a gentle smile, curved like a crescent moon in the night sky. His fair skin accentuated his pale pink lips, his handsome features were striking, his face perfectly shaped, and dressed in pure white, making him even more imposing. She stared intently, unwilling to look away.
Sui Yi was immediately captivated by the man's handsomeness. Not to mention having traveled so much around the world, even in real life, she had seen plenty of handsome men. Her entire family was full of good-looking men and women.
Moreover, having seen so many worlds, I have indeed seen every type of handsome man, but none of them are as aggressively handsome as Lou Yan.
For a moment, I was stunned by the sight.
Seeing the woman captivated by him, the man's mood suddenly improved. He watched her leisurely, waiting to see when she would awaken from her daze of his beauty.
Sui Yi looked at the man, and as she looked, she thought of Luo Jingli. The two really did look alike. She wondered if she was seeing things, but she could actually see his shadow in him.
Sui Yi woke up with a start, and seeing the man's somewhat regretful eyes, she was speechless.
"What a pity. How do I look?
"He's beautiful, even prettier than me," Sui Yi replied with a smile, subtly implying that the man was like a woman.
"Really? It's my honor. My dear wife, you've come to see me so late. Are you lonely? Do you need me to help you relieve your worries and loneliness?"
"-_-|| Of course not!" Sui Yi quickly retorted. She had almost forgotten the real reason she came here!
"Um, have you seen a watch?" Sui Yi didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.
"A watch? Well, let me think... I think I saw a watch like this in the kitchen earlier, but I don't know if it's still there."
Hearing the man's provocative tone, Sui Yi almost wanted to punch him. However, being a newcomer, she decided it was best to keep a low profile.
Sui Yi took a deep breath at this moment. Would she believe a man's words? That was impossible.
Sui Yi, seeing the man's amused expression, felt a surge of anger and was determined not to let him get away with it. Sui Yi straightened up, walked forward, and approached Lou Yan. Suddenly, she reached out and wrapped her arms around Lou Yan's neck.
"My dearest husband!" After Sui Yi's sudden attack on Lou Yan, Lou Yan froze! In that instant, he didn't know what to do and was extremely conflicted.
On one hand, he disliked being approached so closely, and on the other hand, he had a strong aversion to germaphobia, usually keeping people at least three feet away. It's no wonder he froze after being suddenly approached like that by Sui Yi.
On the other hand, he didn't dislike her closeness at all; on the contrary, he felt a sweet warmth in his heart, as if he were bubbling with happiness. He couldn't bear to let her go.
Lou Yan, as expected of the leader, possessed remarkable composure. In no time, he regained his senses, looked at the woman in his arms, reached out and pulled her hand down, then pushed her out the door without a word.
After Suiyi came out, the man slammed the door shut. Suiyi was left feeling locked out.
He stood outside the door and gave the middle finger.
Sui Yi returned to her room, surprised by the man's composure. Even with a soft, warm body in his arms, he remained calm. Was it true, as the rumors said, that he was attracted to men?
However, when Sui Yi thought about how the original owner of this body seemed to have slept with men, this claim fell apart on its own!
Sui Yi walked to the bedside, thinking about the original owner's life, unsure of what to say. Being an undercover agent is an extremely dangerous thing. When police officers go undercover, they will do anything to complete the mission, and will do any request made by the other party. But the original owner sacrificed her lifelong happiness.
All her efforts were aimed at gaining the other party's trust, because even the slightest lack of trust would lead to mission failure. After all, she wasn't the female lead, able to attract all sorts of men and always manage to escape danger with the help of benefactors. And if the mission failed, she would lose her life, just like the original owner who died in a gang shootout.
Therefore, the most important thing is to stay alive by any means necessary. In a cruel environment, holding on for that belief means you can't care about anything else!
To be honest, during the time she was working undercover for Lou Yan, she was just like any other woman; as long as she had a heart, she would fall in love.
She clearly had taken a liking to Lou Yan! After Lou Yan was drugged, she took the initiative to offer herself to him. When she learned that the Nine Gates and the Black Tiger Gang had a deal, she would try to find a way to give the Nine Gates some information.
The original owner's death this time was due to a moment of carelessness, which allowed the Black Tiger Gang to take advantage of the situation and capture him, resulting in his death.
Sui Yi really admires this kind of woman. Although fate is unfair, she is always firm in her choices. She does things with great principle, and she is also able to endure hardship and persevere.
Thinking of this, Sui Yi felt a pang of dejection, because she was certain that Lou Yan had taken the watch. But if she couldn't get it back, all she could do was pray that no one contacted her. Otherwise, her situation would truly be dire.
Life boils down to one word: gambling. So Suiyi can only gamble that one day Lou Yan will forget to bring his things with him, and then he'll have a chance to get them back.
