"No money?"
"Looks like the guy you're dating isn't very generous..." the chubby girl said meaningfully.
Lin Ziyan tugged at the fat girl; this girl was shameless and would do anything if pushed to the limit.
She had just seen the fierceness in his eyes.
Hou Fangguan said, "I'll pay you back next time."
He had his hand in his pocket, clutching the thirty yuan, and felt a burning pain in his heart as if someone were constantly rubbing it with a knife.
Only then did he realize that Lin Ziyan was not so easily fooled.
Her husband looked like a wolf poised to pounce; if looks could kill, he would have been dead several times over.
"Money aside, have I ever dated you?" Lin Ziyan said indifferently.
The original Lin Ziyan had never actually dated the man in front of her; at most, she had admired him. But Hou Fangguan, being shrewd, kept her hanging on.
Moreover, only Lin Ziyan's roommates at school found out about this.
To maintain a good image, Hou Fangguan never walked side by side with Lin Ziyan.
"No." Hou Fangguan closed his eyes and had to admit it.
He regretted it. Why didn't he agree immediately and let his classmates know?
"From now on, treat each other like strangers." Lin Ziyan was too lazy to say anything more to him.
"I'll pay you back as soon as possible." After saying that, he suddenly rushed out of the crowd, stumbling and falling several times while running.
He felt a gaze following him relentlessly, like a venomous snake, making him break out in a cold sweat.
After walking out of the village, Hou Fangguan collapsed onto the ground.
He turned to look at the faint light, his legs trembling.
Lin Ziyan's husband is terrifying.
What I had previously imagined was just a dream, and one that would never come true.
The old lady from the Lin family seemed to know something; the way she looked at him made him feel uneasy.
How many times has he fled in defeat? He'll never dare come back again...
He was panting heavily when he saw a figure riding a bicycle and ducked into the bushes.
Wei Caixia had already seen him and quickly rode past him.
Hou Fangguan got up, dusted himself off, and resignedly walked to the town.
It would take at least an hour to walk there; he should have stopped that bicycle earlier.
Thinking this, Hou Fangguan started jogging, and the closer he got, the more familiar the figure seemed.
Wei Caixia sneered and rode her bicycle to the police station.
As the thick, dark ink pressed down, the lights in each house gradually went out.
After the whole village quieted down, the sound of the waves came with the wind.
Lin Ziyan leaned against the terrace, her long hair cascading down her back, a refreshing breeze ruffling a few strands.
A faint fragrance of osmanthus lingered in the air, enveloping Lu Yun Shen as soon as he approached.
The events of tonight have probably spread throughout the entire village, but he looked at the person in front of him and he seemed completely unaffected.
Lin Ziyan was indeed unaffected; she wouldn't be distracted by strangers.
Hou Fangguan? She had almost forgotten that name.
Lin Ziyan knew why he had come to her again.
When someone becomes rich, they'll always be coveted.
If she were down on her luck now, that person would probably stay as far away as possible.
"Your hair is almost dry, why aren't you going to sleep?" Lu Yun Shen hugged her from behind, smelling the fragrance of her hair, his heart felt as if it were being teased by a feather.
"Did you spill the vinegar?" Lin Ziyan's lips curled into a smile.
He held her tighter than before, as if afraid she would fly away.
Lin Ziyan paused slightly, then turned to look at him. "I don't know that person at all. You should understand what I mean."
Lu Yun Shen lowered his eyelashes slightly, moved closer to her neck, and gently bit her.
I don't know why, but he always likes to bite her. Is this an instinctive reaction to liking someone?
“I know you look down on people like that; they’re too weak,” Lu Yunshen said calmly.
He was terrified that one day he would wake up to find the person in front of him wasn't her anymore.
Hou Fangguan's appearance today brought back the worries that had been buried deep in his heart.
Lin Ziyan raised an eyebrow, wrapped her arms around his neck, and placed a kiss on his thin lips, as light as a dragonfly skimming the water.
"Yes, you're exactly my type," she admitted.
Lin Ziyan added in her mind, "It always has been."
She knew what Lu Yunshen was worried about, but they couldn't control what he was worried about.
Lu Yun Shen's eyes brightened at her words, and his heart felt as if it were wrapped in honey, filled with sweetness.
"The system you asked me to make before is ready to use. All the tests so far have been successful," Lu Yunshen said, changing the subject.
Lin Ziyan nodded slightly. With this system, the warship she was drawing could finally set sail.
Our territorial waters defense has always been weak. Sometimes, ships from other countries come and go, and without a monitoring system, we simply cannot drive them away in time.
“Sara has disappeared.” Lu Yun Shen frowned. Before, he only suspected it, but now he was basically certain of his guess.
The fact that Wang Erniu and Chen Niaoshu were able to escape is probably related to Sara.
Yan Shen didn't lose any important data, not because she didn't take action, but because she didn't have time.
"How could you have thought that she was related to what happened last time?" Lin Ziyan didn't notice anything amiss.
Sara and Chen Niaoshu have almost no relationship. It was Sara who stepped in to prevent Chen Niaoshu from changing the forms during the last competition.
Lin Ziyan recalled the scene of meeting Sara in Germany, and there really wasn't a single flaw in it.
Not only in Germany, but even in Fuzhou, the two seemed to have no contact with each other alone.
Lu Yunshen: "She wasn't in the country that day. I checked her immigration records and found that she had gone to country A."
Later, he sent people to check at the immigration checkpoint, and it turned out that the person who left the checkpoint was not Sara at all.
Moreover, she was able to shake off the people he sent to keep an eye on her, so her abilities should not be underestimated.
He may also be a member of a foreign organization that has been hiding for many years.
Lu Yun Shen's gaze deepened. If that were true, then Yan Shen had let a wolf into the house.
…
At this moment,
Inside the Tengyun Technology building.
Sara is reviewing documents; having been on the job for over a month, she doesn't dare to relax for a moment.
The management here may seem loose, but it is actually very strict.
Security checks are required to enter and exit, and even bags are thoroughly searched, making it virtually impossible to take documents out.
Tengyun Technology is very mysterious.
Sara thought to herself, but did not stop what she was doing.
Haibi Village should be quite lively tonight; it would be good if we could cause them some trouble.
"Looks like I still need to climb higher; my position doesn't give me enough authority," Sara murmured.
A dark shadow loomed overhead, and she abruptly looked up, her gaze icy.
"Engineer Yao, it's so late, why aren't you leaving?" The man pushed up his glasses and spoke gently.
"Engineer Chen, I'll look up some more information and then head back in a bit." Sara breathed a sigh of relief, but her expression quickly returned to its usual indifferent state.
Her new identity: Yao Xi.
The engineer in front of her, Chen, is from Beijing. She just graduated and joined Tengyun in the same batch as her.
Every engineer here is exceptional; Tengyun's compensation is comparable to that abroad, but not many people know about it.
"Then I'll head back to my dorm first." Engineer Chen nodded, turned, and left.
Sara watched his departing figure thoughtfully, perhaps she could approach it from other angles.
