"kindness?"
Xu Yao's smile vanished instantly, and he warily scanned his surroundings: "Sister-in-law, have you discovered anything?"
"I think I'm being watched."
Ye Nian'an spoke calmly, as if she were talking about a trivial matter: "So I'd like to ask you for a favor..."
"Damn it, which bastard dares to set his sights on the Chu family? He's got a death wish!"
Xu Yao cursed fiercely, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, then looked at Ye Nian'an with a serious expression: "Sister-in-law, these are all minor matters, just give me your instructions!"
"OK."
Ye Nian'an stopped beating around the bush and directly told Xu Yao her thoughts.
Those who were monitoring him were just errand boys hired by Zhao Zhaodi; there was no point in arguing with them.
Instead of turning this into a problem, we might as well turn it into an opportunity to resolve the trouble.
At the same time, Ye Nian'an sneered inwardly, as if Zhao Zhaodi had forgotten something very serious.
If she really was connected to that group of "thieves," then the diary that recorded her embarrassing moments was right in her hands.
They're really fearless!
I will not attack unless attacked.
If someone offends me...
A ruthless glint flashed in Ye Nian'an's eyes!
I will surely kill him!
Xu Yao nodded emphatically after hearing this: "Okay, leave this to me! I guarantee I'll handle it perfectly!"
As the two were chatting, the three little ones had already packed their things and ran out happily.
"Mommy, look! It's a lion cub! Awooo!"
Dada held up a small, yellowish-brown lion doll, opened her little mouth to imitate a lion's roar, and her chubby little face was extremely cute.
"My favorite puppy toy!"
Er'er hugged a black puppy plush toy, her eyes narrowed into slits with laughter, and she couldn't resist giving the puppy a kiss on the cheek.
"Mine is a pink bunny!"
San San hugged her pink rabbit doll tightly with her two chubby little hands, as if afraid that someone would snatch it away.
The three little ones accurately found the special toys that Xu Yao had brought them from the bag.
After all, lions, dogs, and rabbits are their favorite animals.
The bag also contained White Rabbit milk candy, malted milk powder, glistening purple grapes... a dazzling array of things they love to eat.
Ye Nian'an clapped her hands and said gently, "Kids, did you say thank you to Xu Yaosu?"
"Thank you, Xu Yaosu!"
The three little ones shouted in unison, their sweet, childlike voices melting hearts.
"Hey hey hey~"
Xu Yao's heart was almost melted by these three adorable children. His smile was as bright as a flower, and he wished he could give them all the good things in the world.
"You're welcome. I'm glad the kids like it."
He watched the three little ones hugging their toys and chattering away, and felt a warm glow in his heart, thinking that the trip had been well worth it.
Over the next few days, Ye Nian'an didn't go anywhere much, staying in the yard taking care of the babies.
Life went on like a glass of lukewarm water, calm and uneventful as if nothing had ever happened.
She simply waited peacefully for the New Year and for the college entrance examination results to be released, seemingly unaware of the prying eyes outside the courtyard wall.
Haicheng Second People's Hospital.
When the people Zhao Zhaodi sent out didn't find anything, they returned to report, and the latter couldn't help but clench her fists.
"Did that woman really not contact anyone suspicious? And didn't she go out?"
She stared at the man who came to reply, her voice hoarse as if it had been sanded.
“Indeed, madam, it’s absolutely true! These days she’s just taking the children for walks and sunbathing, and sometimes she goes to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things. She’s run out of things, and we’ve been watching her closely!”
"Could it really not be her...?"
Zhao Zhaodi's shoulders slumped, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes piled up like a crumpled piece of paper.
After retreating from the initial frantic rush, the little confidence I had also dissipated.
Actually, if you think about it carefully, even if Ye Nian'an is highly suspicious, it is completely impossible to explain how those people managed to move so many things without anyone noticing when there were people around.
Even the police couldn't find anything.
This has become an unsolvable problem.
"Madam, let's put our hopes on the police officers."
Zhao Jiadi couldn't help but offer some advice.
Perhaps, Ye Nian'an's storyline really is wrong.
According to Shi Fangfang, the police had suspected Ye Nian'an several years ago and had searched for clues and investigated traces, but they had not found anything suspicious.
And there's one more crucial point...
Previously, Ye Nian'an had no idea where Zhao Zhaodi's house was or what its layout was like.
Even if she hired someone to empty the storeroom, not to mention how she managed to do it without alerting anyone, she didn't know where the storeroom was, where Zhao Zhaodi's room was, or how much stuff there was.
How can we accurately allocate manpower?
"Relying on those incompetent police officers? I think we should forget about it."
Zhao Zhaodi clutched her chest, panting heavily, her dentures grinding together in her mouth: "They were quick to arrest Shikai, but they pretend to be deaf and dumb when it comes to investigating cases!"
"Madam, about this job..."
The man rubbed his hands together, a calculating look in his eyes—
This job of watching people is easy; you just need to come in and check in every day to get paid. I wish I could keep doing it.
Zhao Zhaodi's eyes flickered, as if she couldn't make up her mind.
But then she suddenly shook her head, a terrifying light flashing in her eyes.
"No! It must be related to Ye Nian'an! Old Zhao, do you remember? Shi Fangfang said that Ye Nian'an has the ability to seize people's life force!"
"Ever since she left the Zhang family, the Zhang family has suffered a great misfortune, and things haven't gotten better yet. That little vixen must have some kind of evil magic!"
"Shikai might be framed, and that bitch Ye Nian'an might have used some kind of evil magic to manipulate him! It must be! As long as we keep chasing him, we'll definitely find something to hide!"
Her hair was a mess, plastered to her sweaty forehead, and the corners of her mouth were twisted into a strange arc, making her look somewhat frightening.
Zhao Jia was speechless for a moment. This wasn't investigating a case; it was clearly a case of being possessed.
But Zhao Zhaodi needs this kind of sign to distract her.
Seeing her like this, the man quickly and cautiously said, "Then... I'll continue with my business?"
Anyway, as long as you work, you get paid.
It depends on the person. If the investor is willing to pay, they'd be more than happy to do so.
"Look! Keep a close eye on them!"
Zhao Zhaodi suddenly raised her voice, as if afraid no one could hear her: "She'll write down everything she buys, even a needle! I'll pay for it no matter how long she watches or how much it costs! Even if I have to keep an eye on her until next spring, I'll wait until she slips up!"
"Madam, please calm down, don't get too agitated..."
Zhao Jiadi reached out to help her, but she shook him off.
"I'm not agitated! I'm calm! I'm clear-headed! It's Ye Nian'an! It must be her!"
Just then.
Tap tap tap.
Hurried footsteps echoed down the corridor, growing closer and closer until they finally stopped with a thud at the ward door.
The door was pushed open with a bang.
