Chapter 113: Chapter 90: Suspicions

In the car, Wang Jin didn’t ask much, his own upbringing and strict rules made Sui Yi curious about Yhan Qingwu’s background again...

"Miss Sui, are you thinking about our young lady’s background?"

"Hmm?" Sui Yi glanced at Wang Jin, "It’s fine."

"If Miss Sui goes to the Provincial City eventually, you should find out."

Sui Yi didn’t respond, but she understood the underlying meaning in Wang Jin’s words—was she not qualified enough yet?

It really was Tang Hanyan’s style, indirect yet enabling you to understand on your own.

Upon arriving in front of her own villa, the yard was somewhat lively, with security and others present. As Sui Yi got out of the car, she heard Wang Jin speaking from behind.

"Miss Sui wouldn’t mind if I told the lady about tonight’s event, would you?"

"Of course not."

"That’s good."

Wang Jin drove off, and the security guards each showed a look of surprise.

Originally, every resident here was considered a prominent figure in Nanxun, and they were always polite to each resident, but the moment they saw Wang Jin and the car, their politeness turned into awe.

"Miss Sui, we need to ask you some questions, if you could please..."

Sui Yi turned around and was faced with many security personnel, sighing internally—this matter still needed to be addressed, and it looked like a peaceful night’s sleep was not in the cards.

--------

The security personnel directly classified the incident as a bold thief having entered Sui Yi’s house, discovered mid-way by Sui Yi, who then escaped by jumping into the river. Sui Yi naturally went along with this, rounding the story out smoothly, without a forceful attitude, which the security personnel, who had braced for difficulties from Sui Yi, gladly appreciated, and they were even more obedient to Sui Yi’s requests to trivialize the matter.

They even turned a blind eye to the messy scene in Sui Yi’s room.

No matter what happened, trivializing issues was always their highest principle; after all, they were not police and didn’t want everything to be crystal clear, especially since it was obviously at the request of the residents...

Just to show their sincerity and their thoughts on making amends, the property management would cover all losses...

After dismissing the group, Sui Yi realized that her computer was also included in the losses.

Computer?

Sui Yi entered the room to check on the computer, hearing Wang Pu say, "Just now that gentleman checked it and said the computer couldn’t be started up again, they can compensate for a new one, but if Sister Sui Yi has important data inside, we could also find someone to fix it..."

"There’s no important data, never mind."

It was just the data that Ninth Miss had sent. If she sent it for repairs, there was no guarantee that someone with unclean hands might leak the data. It would be easier just to ask for another copy.

But...

Sui Yi tapped the laptop keyboard thoughtfully.

If that shadow was targeting her, why would it turn on the computer? If it was after the computer, why damage it?

Was the goal just to prevent her from seeing those files? But she could just ask Ninth Miss for another copy...

And how did that shadow find her residence in town, considering she had always seen it as a wild, irrational beast, capable of such a complex series of actions like tracking, following, attacking, and damaging the computer.

Baffling indeed.

Thinking about it, Sui Yi just glanced at the laptop, just a glance since it was said to be broken, so never mind.

She then went to check on the old lady, with Auntie Wang and Wang Pu right by her side. Wang Pu made a shushing gesture to Sui Yi,

she nodded, lightened her footsteps, peeked at the old lady, then carefully adjusted the quilt, and was about to leave.

Suddenly feeling a chill in the room, she noticed the window was wide open and frowned, walking over to close it but then stared out the window for a while.

Auntie Wang and Wang Pu were a bit anxious, perhaps because Sui Yi’s aura had been growing stronger lately, though she was unaware, others felt it quite distinctly.

After a moment, Sui Yi finally closed the window, turned her head, and left the room with the two.

All throughout, not a sound was made, which caused Auntie Wang, who had initially wanted to ask about what exactly happened with the thief, to immediately dismiss the idea. However, Sui Yi herself brought up the topic, of course not revealing everything, just saying a few half-truths.

"Since the thief has come once, they probably won’t come again, otherwise... they wouldn’t just be a thief," Sui Yi said lightly, and Wang Pu nodded, leading Auntie Wang away.
