“How am I supposed to sleep now?”

Ye Qianqian felt like she were going crazy. She clung onto Shen Zhilie tightly and said, “Old Shen, don’t bother with this anymore. I think we came across as people who are easy to bully. That’s the only reason why he’s targeting us. As long as we aren’t afraid of him, I’m sure there’s nothing he can do to us. You…”

“Qianqian,” Shen Zhilie cut her off.

Ye Qianqian was so terrified that her eyes gleamed with tears. As she looked at Shen Zhilie, her expression was filled with confusion and helplessness.

Shen Zhilie said reassuringly, “Nothing will happen.”

“But…”

“No ‘buts’…” Shen Zhilie patted her lightly on her back. “Even my grandmother said that I’ll live to a ripe old age.”

“Your grandmother’s words aren’t always reliable!” Ye Qianqian retorted immediately.

Shen Zhilie took a deep breath. “What am I to do with you? When my grandmother says something good, you refuse to believe it. On the other hand, when she says something bad, you believe it wholeheartedly.”

“I don’t…”

“You don’t? Think about it on your own whether or not you do.”

Ye Qianqian had no answer to that.

Shen Zhilie gazed at her and said, “Nothing will happen. I’ll let the police know what’s going on.”

“You’re going to make a report?” Ye Qianqian was shocked. “If the guy finds out, won’t he come after us?”

“He’ll come after us all the same even if I don’t.” Shen Zhilie stared at her. “Don’t believe the words of such people. Since he’s dared to come at us, it’s just going to be a matter of time. I’m notifying the police as a preemptive measure. But in order to catch him, we’ll have to bait him out.”

“What are you thinking?” Ye Qianqian felt very unsettled about the situation.

Shen Zhilie looked at her but didn’t reply.

…

After giving Inspector Lin a call, Shen Zhilie and Ye Qianqian soon met up with him.

It was six in the morning, and the city of Kingstown had not yet awakened. Inspector Lin had worked through the night and hadn’t slept a wink. Shen Zhilie and Ye Qianqian hadn’t slept, either.

After sending someone out to buy breakfast, Inspector Lin had the couple ushered into a hidden room within the station.

“Inspector Lin, I’ll need your cooperation,” Shen Zhilie said.

Inspector Lin took a look at the absolutely petrified Ye Qianqian and nodded his head. “Tell me everything. I’ll make the necessary arrangements.”

“I don’t need anything today. Just send someone to take good care of her.” Shen Zhilie glanced at Ye Qianqian. “I’ll go on my own. I’m guessing that the person wants to meet me for a second time. Let’s do this…”

Ye Qianqian went through the motions of eating her breakfast, but she couldn’t taste a thing. After that, Shen Zhilie managed to coax her into getting some sleep on an empty couch in the police station.

With her head resting on Shen Zhilie’s lap, Ye Qianqian soon drifted off to sleep. She fell into a deep sleep, and by the time she woke up, it was already noon.

Ye Qianqian quickly jumped off the couch and rushed out. Everyone walking around was dressed in their uniforms. When the police officers saw Ye Qianqian, they were visibly stunned.

Ye Qianqian yelled out, “Shen Zhilie!”

Her cry attracted many people’s attention. A female police officer walked up to her and said, “He left for a moment to buy some lunch. Don’t worry.”

Ye Qianqian heaved a sigh of relief before asking, “How long has he been gone for?”

“He just left. He told me to let you know when you woke up.”

“Where’s Inspector Lin?” Ye Qianqian felt that something was amiss.

The female officer was dumbfounded for a moment before she quickly replied, “He’s off working.”

Ye Qianqian’s heart sank. She turned around and returned to the room that she had just come out of and awaited Shen Zhilie’s return.

Her wait stretched into an hour, and Ye Qianqian couldn’t contain herself any longer. She looked at the female officer and asked, “Just where did he go?”
