On the other side, Qin Lang and Xiao Lu were listening to the copied data, which consisted mostly of audio data obtained from the laboratory, but so far they hadn't found anything useful.
Qin Lang lowered his eyes, but his mood remained inexplicably irritable.
Inside the hotel elevator, Lin Rou was wearing a hat for simple disguise. She had learned from the detective that Bai Yan had just left the hotel and wasn't wearing the bracelet, so the bracelet should be in her room now.
The spatial bracelet, Lin Rou's spatial bracelet!
Lin Rou suppressed her excitement and, upon reaching the floor, was about to look for Bai Yan's room when the door to another room on the same floor was pushed open. "Are you a hotel employee? We don't think we called room service?"
Lin Rou lowered her head: "Sir, it was room service that the next room called."
As she spoke, she naturally pushed her tools to the guest room door, then used the stolen employee card to swipe open the door. Her superpower was Lin Rou's greatest source of confidence, which also made her completely unafraid of being discovered...
At worst, we'll just silence them.
A dark glint flashed in Lin Rou's eyes, and she quickly began searching the room again.
She soon noticed a velvet box placed on a milky white coffee table. She opened the box and found a jade bracelet with a lustrous sheen inside.
A flicker of excitement flashed in Lin Rou's eyes. Just as she was about to pick up the jade bracelet, she remembered something, immediately bit her finger, and dripped her blood onto it.
A layer of light visibly appeared on the surface of the jade bracelet, and Lin Rou's eyes shone brighter and brighter: It was it, it must be the space jade bracelet that Bai Yan had in her previous life that could hold a lot of supplies!
With a thought, Lin Rou's gaze fell on the decorative porcelain vase next to the table, and soon the vase disappeared.
After confirming it again, Lin Rou immediately put the jade bracelet into her backpack as if it were a precious treasure.
Before her rebirth, she possessed wind-based abilities, which were not very lethal. After her rebirth, she awakened lightning-based abilities.
Although it was only in its early stages, destroying the hotel's surveillance system was enough. After destroying all the evidence, Lin Rou picked up her bag and left.
Just as she reached the hotel entrance, two police officers in formal attire approached her. Unaware that she had been discovered, Lin Rou continued walking forward. However, the two officers walked directly towards her, and one of them reached out and stopped her, handcuffing her hands.
"You are involved in a theft case. Please cooperate with our investigation immediately."
...
At that time in the restaurant
After Zhou Yunan finished ordering, he looked up and saw Bai Yan looking down at her phone, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.
She ignored him and deliberately looked at her phone, still putting on airs?
Zhou Yunan felt dissatisfied, so he tapped the table with his finger. Bai Yan, however, did not look up and continued to look at her phone screen.
Zhou Yunan didn't want to call her, so he tapped the table a little louder than before. Bai Yan glanced at him, but he didn't say anything. Instead, his thick eyebrows furrowed tightly, and he looked at Bai Yan with displeasure.
"Xiao Yan, where has your manners gone?" Zhou Yunan asked in a low voice, tapping the table. "I invited you out for dinner, but you didn't even look at me. Your eyes were glued to your phone. Do you think that's polite?"
Before Bai Yan could speak, a waiter from the restaurant came over and whispered, "Sir, the guests next to you have complained. Please do not bang on the table."
Bai Yan chuckled.
Zhou Yunan's fingers tapped stiffly on the dining table. Bai Yan smiled and said, "It seems you're more impolite than me?"
As the waiter left, a flash of annoyance crossed Zhou Yunan's eyes.
"Alright, stop being so petty. Haven't I given you enough of an out?" Zhou Yunan said. "Bai Yan, you know my personality. I'm the kind of person who's always right or wrong."
"Yes, I was late for your birthday party, but it was for the company! The Zhou family's assets are not as good as your Bai family's, and I know your brother looks down on me. I can only work hard to develop the Zhou family to change his opinion of me."
Zhou Yunan spoke with increasing emotion and distress: "I'm doing this for our relationship, why can't you understand me?"
In the past, if Zhou Yunan had said something like that, Bai Yan would have understood him immediately and then apologized to him pitifully with tears in her eyes.
But Bai Yan couldn't understand it at the moment. After a while, she frowned and asked, seemingly puzzled, "So you mean you agreed to attend my birthday party, but on that day you were not only late, but you didn't even show up."
"It was my fault that I embarrassed myself on my birthday, and I should apologize to you?"
Zhou Yunan was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to his senses.
She then smiled and said in a doting tone, "You women just love to fuss over these rituals."
But to be concerned about these things is to love him.
She was indeed still hopelessly in love with him.
"Okay, okay, it's my fault. I shouldn't have been late for your birthday party. I apologize."
"If something like this happens again, even if I don't go to company meetings and cause Zhou's to lose a deal worth hundreds of millions, I will still take care of my darling's feelings, okay?"
Bai Yan looked at Zhou Yunan: He said it was all his fault, but in reality he was shifting all the responsibility onto the original owner of the body.
He was so pure and innocent, and everything he did was for the original owner of the body. Yet the original owner acted up and acted out because of the ritual of a birthday party, and he even forgave her for her ignorance.
If the original owner of this body were here, given her personality, she would be completely controlled by Zhou Yunan's attitude.
Even Bai Yi'an's obstruction was verbally blamed on the original owner, because it was the resistance from her family that caused him trouble.
He kept repeating this question in order to make the original owner feel guilty.
Over time, she will become increasingly inferior to Zhou Yunan in their relationship, until he completely controls her.
So even without the apocalypse, Zhou Yunan was already in control of the original owner of this body, and being in control of the original owner meant being in control of Bai Yi'an, this sister-protecting maniac.
"Honey, stop being so temperamental. Too much of a good thing can be bad."
Zhou Yunan said, "You know what kind of person I am. I never bow down to a woman. If it weren't for loving you, I wouldn't have taken the initiative to go to you last time."
After being turned away last time, Zhou Yunan originally wanted to wait for the other party to apologize to him.
But this month his younger brother and stepmother have become increasingly active, and he wants to get rid of them once and for all.
A glint of darkness flashed in Zhou Yunan's eyes, but his tone was gentle: "Baby, I told you before about the losses at Zhou's Investment. You went to your brother and asked for 1 billion to help me, right?"
Bai Yan looked up at him, and Zhou Yunan continued, "After I learned what you had done for me, I knew that you loved me too. So I made an exception today and bowed my head to you again."
“I’ve met many women and had many girlfriends before, but you are different from them.”
He curled his lips into a wicked smile and said, "You're the only woman for whom I'm willing to offer a way out."
Even though Bai Yan had seen all sorts of extreme cases, her brows couldn't help but twitch at this moment.
