Chapter 16
Hearing this, Lin Yiyi showed a hint of panic on her face. She looked at Lin Sheng with a slightly evasive gaze and hurriedly explained herself.
"You're overthinking it. I wouldn't do anything to a dress. It's just a bottle of perfume. I'm giving it to you!"
As soon as she said that, Lin Yiyi took out the bottle of perfume from her bag and handed it to Lin Sheng. She thought Lin Sheng would be polite, but unexpectedly, Lin Sheng took it without hesitation.
Lin Sheng took the perfume, sprayed a little on himself, and then gave it back to Lin Yiyi.
"Let's leave it to someone who needs it more. My sister's mouth is really bad, and it would be so embarrassing if it stinks other people in such a big occasion. I'd better keep it."
Lin Sheng didn't look at Lin Yiyi's expression. He immediately walked away, took a look around the venue, and went straight to the dessert area.
The wealthy ladies at the table looked at her with disdain at her attire and took a few steps back, deliberately keeping a distance from Lin Sheng.
"Why did the security let someone like that in? It's such bad luck!"
"Where does this smell of poverty come from?"
As he spoke, everyone present immediately covered their noses, it really seemed like that was the case.
Lin Yiyi was so angry that she didn't notice what was happening on Lin Sheng's side. When she looked up, she saw that everyone around her was covering their noses. She suddenly panicked and covered her mouth with her hands.
But then I heard Lin Sheng standing in front of the dessert table, holding a plate in one hand, turning around to look at Lin Yiyi, and slowly said,
"Lin Yiyi, they said the perfume you bought smells weird. These rich girls don't like it. Remember to try a different one next time."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the people present changed, and a strange atmosphere filled the whole place.
Lin Yiyi held the bottle of perfume tightly in her hand, and her heart suddenly felt choked. She gritted her teeth and looked at Lin Sheng, then smashed the perfume to the ground. The fragrance filled the entire conference hall and was very choking.
Seeing this, the people around didn't dare to say a word and looked at Lin Yiyi in fear.
Seeing this, Lin Sheng sneered and turned around to continue eating dessert.
Seeing Lin Yiyi's willful temper without caring about the occasion, Lin Zheng felt unhappy and scolded Wen Qingrou beside him.
"Look, this is the good daughter you raised! She has brought shame to the Lin family!"
Wen Qingrou looked anxious and quickly chased after him.
At this time, a waiter came forward and cleaned up the perfume on the floor.
Lin Sheng turned around and saw Lin Yiyi leaving the venue angrily, and his eyes involuntarily fell on the waiter.
The temperature was over 20 degrees Celsius. The waiter was wearing a work uniform with a high-necked inner layer underneath. His hands were wrapped in white bandages. He left after cleaning.
Lin Sheng stared at the waiter's back and keenly noticed that the waiter had a slightly sloping shoulder and the height of his shoes seemed inconsistent.
"What are you looking at?"
Xu Guannan walked to Lin Sheng with a glass of wine, noticed Lin Sheng's expression, and asked in confusion.
Lin Sheng withdrew his gaze, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, but he did not make a definite conclusion and replied lightly,
"It's okay, I just saw someone and felt something was wrong."
Xu Guannan didn't understand what she said, but a seed of vigilance was planted in his heart.
Lin Yiyi rushed out of the hall, her mind full of Lin Sheng's smug face, which only made her feel more angry.
"Damn Lin Sheng, why don't you die with your short-lived mother! Why are you everywhere?"
"Do you really want her to die?"
A strange voice suddenly came from behind Lin Yiyi.
Turning around, she didn't see anyone. Lin Yiyi's heart suddenly panicked. She pretended to be calm, put her hands on her heart, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.
"Who is playing tricks? Come out here!"
But then I heard that voice speak again,
"Ms. Lin, you don't need to know who I am. I'm just an insignificant person. Let me ask you again, do you really want Lin Sheng to disappear?"
When Lin Sheng was mentioned again, Lin Yiyi's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and she gritted her teeth and answered,
"I wish she would die!"
"Haha, I will definitely help you fulfill your wish. Miss Lin, have a good rest tonight. You won't be able to see her tomorrow."
Hearing this, a terrifying thought suddenly popped up in Lin Yiyi's mind, which made her panic.
"You...you don't want to...kill her, do you? If you get caught, it's not me who ordered you to do it. It has nothing to do with me!"
"Don't worry, this matter is between you and me, and no third person will know."
Lin Yiyi felt a hint of anticipation in her heart. Fear, nervousness, and secret joy intertwined in her heart, and an intriguing look appeared on her face. As if uncertain, Lin Yiyi lowered her voice and continued to ask,
"So...what do you want from me?"
Lin Yiyi looked around and saw no one. The guests were gathered in the hall. Lin Zheng and Wen Qingrou were entertaining them. At this time, no one was passing by on the path outside.
"I don't need any reward. I just do it for my own pleasure. Don't you think killing is a very relaxing and enjoyable thing?"
The clenched hands suddenly shook. Lin Yiyi stood there, not daring to move. Her whole body began to feel cold. Only then did she realize what kind of person the other person was.
Perhaps it shouldn't be called a human; "beast" would be a more appropriate description of this sound.
Lin Yiyi began to feel scared. If the other party attacked others based solely on his feelings, would she be the next one?
"Don't worry, Miss Lin. I won't kill you. Killing someone requires timing. Only when the time, place, and people are right can it be a good time to strike."
Lin Yiyi felt her scalp tingling, and she looked around vigilantly, trying her best to determine the location of the sound, deliberately delaying time.
"When do you plan to make your move? After today, Lin Sheng might go back the day after tomorrow."
"Why rush? Night is the best time to get down to business. I've already found out. Lin Sheng will be here for at least three days. The police officer next to her will also be here. It will be more exciting to do it under the police's nose."
Lin Yiyi further realized the madness of this man and couldn't help but exclaimed,
"Are you crazy? If he finds out and you fail, not only will Lin Sheng not die, but you'll be caught too, and we'll both be finished! I don't want to go to jail!"
The other party seemed to see through Lin Yiyi's thoughts and warned her,
"Ms. Lin, it's best to put away your little thoughts. There are some things you can't know too much about, otherwise you will die miserably."
Hearing this, Lin Yiyi's whole body trembled, and she felt a chill coming from behind her. She wanted to escape from this place desperately, but her feet felt like they weighed a thousand pounds and she couldn't move an inch. Her forehead was already covered with sweat.
Suddenly, there were footsteps behind her. Lin Yiyi's eyes widened instantly and she turned around to look.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?"
A waiter was holding a transparent garbage bag, which contained the fragments of the perfume bottle that Lin Yiyi had broken.
Lin Yiyi met his clear eyes and realized her own loss of composure. She quickly adjusted her expression, took a deep breath, and asked casually,
"I'm fine, where are you going?"
The waiter picked up the bag in his hand and answered honestly,
"Go to the intersection and throw this away. The smell is too strong and a bit choking. We have a lot of customers today, so we have to treat them well."
Lin Yiyi didn't think much about it. She just wanted to leave this damn place as soon as possible. She waved to the waiter absentmindedly.
"I know. Go ahead and get busy."
The waiter nodded and went about his business.
Lin Yiyi stood there, recalling the voice just now. Her limbs felt cold. Instead of returning to the lobby, Lin Yiyi went straight back to her hotel room.
She couldn't calm down. As soon as she closed her eyes, the voice echoed in Lin Yiyi's ears, making her back feel cold. She didn't care about anything else for the moment and immediately started packing her luggage.
"Knock, knock, knock."
There was a sudden rapid knock on the door. Lin Yiyi's whole body trembled. Her hands that were packing her luggage suddenly trembled in the air, and her clothes fell to the ground. She didn't have time to pick them up, and Lin Yiyi rushed to the door in an instant.
Instead of opening the door immediately, she held the door handle tightly. Lin Yiyi was nervous, her throat moved slightly, and she asked the person outside the door hesitantly,
"Who is it? I'm not feeling well and I'm resting."
"Knock, knock, knock."
The knock on the door sounded again, and Lin Yiyi felt the urgency of the person outside the door more clearly. Her attention was instantly focused, and her hands clenched tighter. The room was so quiet that she could hear her own heartbeat.
Lin Yiyi waited fearfully, her heart almost jumping out of her throat, when she suddenly heard Wen Qingrou's voice outside the door.
"Yiyi, you feel uncomfortable somewhere. Do you want to go to the hospital? Let mom come in and take a look."
Hearing Wen Qingrou's voice, Lin Yiyi let out a deep breath, and her tense nerves relaxed in an instant. She sat down on the floor exhausted, trying to calm her inner panic.
Before she could open the door, it was opened from the outside.
Wen Qingrou's voice then reached Lin Yiyi's ears. Hearing the anxiety in Wen Qingrou's tone, Lin Yiyi suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction.
"Haven't you opened the door yet? Hurry up, I don't know what's happening to Yiyi inside."
The door opened, and Wen Qingrou rushed in first. She glanced around the room, but couldn't see Lin Yiyi. She shouted in a more urgent tone,
"Yiyi? Yiyi? Where are you? Don't scare mom."
"Mom, I'm here."
Lin Yiyi's weak voice came from behind the door. Wen Qingrou hurried over to look at the sound and saw Lin Yiyi sitting weakly on the floor. Her frown relaxed in an instant and she sighed helplessly.
"Why are you sitting here? The floor is cold. Get up quickly. Why didn't you open the door just now? You made me worry."
Lin Yiyi stood up with the help of Wen Qingrou, a forced smile on her face.
"It's okay, I was just packing up and didn't have time to open the door."
Wen Qingrou helped Lin Yiyi to the sofa beside her, raised her hand to feel the temperature of Lin Yiyi's forehead,
"What are you packing for? If you're really feeling unwell, I'll go to the hospital with you. You don't look well."
Lin Yiyi grabbed Wen Qingrou's hand, her expression showing a moment of nervousness.
"Mom, I want to go home."
"The birthday party isn't over yet, why are you leaving so early? Are you mad at Lin Sheng?"
When Lin Sheng was mentioned, Lin Yiyi recalled that voice in her mind. A trace of panic flashed in her eyes, but she quickly suppressed it.
"It's not because of her. I just want to go home."
Wen Qingrou didn't ask too many questions, she just thought Lin Yiyi was really a little tired, so she agreed.
"Well, we'll go back tonight after the guests leave."
“Dong—dong—.”
There was another knock on the door, but this time, the sound was unusually heavy.
