Chapter 396: Chapter 371: Just Ordinary Water?

Lin Xiaoxiao had a puzzled look in her eyes, "What does my brother-in-law want water for?"

Still, she took the water out of her bag and handed it to Li Chen.

"This is the bottle, he bought it himself at that time, a whole bag of them, and then one for each person."

Li Chen took the water. If his intuition was correct, Mu Yi must have tampered with this water.

"Brother-in-law, is there something wrong with this water?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked.

Li Chen shook his head, "Don’t know yet, have to wait for the tests."

"Brother-in-law, you suspect Mu Yi?" At this moment, Lin Xiaoxiao also realized that Li Chen had always been wary of Mu Yi.

Li Chen held the water and admitted, "Xiaoxiao, the first time we met Mu Yi, I felt he was dangerous and somehow familiar.

"

"Intuition?" Lin Xiaoxiao curled her lips, "Brother-in-law, you make judgments based on intuition?"

"Yes, for example, I think on the rocking horse earlier, I could have actually gone a step further." Li Chen unexpectedly changed the topic.

Lin Xiaoxiao’s face turned red, and she huffed, "I’m not talking to you anymore."

Really, the reason she had wanted to take a seat on the carousel was also because of some little schemes. Why did you have to say it out loud?

Soon, the two arrived at Lin’s Group, and after entering the building, Lin Xiaoxiao went straight to look for Lin Yi, while Li Chen went to the lab.

"Yo, Mr. Cheen, how come you’re back?" the moment he entered the lab, Yang Zi teased him.

"I guess it’s too hot outside," a colleague joined in.

"Cut it out, surely he didn’t catch a woman," Zhao Qi laughed heartily.

Li Chen rolled his eyes and threw the water bottle over, "Hurry up, test this water for anything special."

Zhao Qi caught the bottle, looked it over, and snickered, "Mr. Cheen, you planning to start selling water?"

"Enough of your jokes, hurry up and test it, I’m waiting for the results," Li Chen took a seat at his desk.

"Alright." Zhao Qi stood up and, along with a few others, began pouring the water to prepare for testing.

It wasn’t long before Zhao Qi and the others came over.

"Mr. Cheen, your water is very normal," they reported.

"What do you mean normal?" Li Chen inquired.

Zhao Qi chuckled, "It means nothing’s in it, this water’s just like any other bottled water, the components are all the same."

Just ordinary water?

Li Chen was taken aback. Had he guessed wrong? That wasn’t likely.

"Mr. Cheen, this water is perfectly fine to drink," said Yang Zi as he took a sip from the bottle, then tossed it back towards Li Chen, who caught it.

Li Chen looked at the water with doubt filling his eyes. Was Mu Yi really not a problem? He acted too normal, and Li Chen found nothing wrong with him.

He placed the water aside. Perhaps this matter would have to be left to The Dark Division to investigate.

...

Time passed quickly, and before long, it was time to leave work.

The sky outside was filled with sunset glows. Li Chen and the Lin sisters got into the same BMW and then drove towards the direction of their villa.

"Xiaoxiao, is your car fixed yet?" asked Li Chen.

"It will take some more time," Lin Xiaoxiao replied, looking back.

Li Chen sat alone in the back seat, watching the two sisters chatting and laughing in front, feeling very frustrated. This really won’t do, it felt like his status at home was plummeting.

Once home, Lin Xiaoxiao started muttering about the heat and went upstairs, while Lin Yi headed to her own room first.

Li Chen grabbed a can of soda from the fridge and then turned on the TV, lying down on the couch.

The news broadcast was on, and coincidentally, the anchor was discussing the case of a serial killer.

"According to police reports, the body of a female was found by Ancient Path Lake on Fragrant Avenue. The victim is estimated to be around twenty-two years old, with her right chest torn open, and her heart missing. The police have begun an investigation into the matter.

"Prior to this, similar incidents have occurred eight times. Police say this is a series of homicides, with the earliest case dating back to about a month ago.

"The perpetrator is believed to be a psychologically disturbed killer who targets young women.

"We also want to remind our viewers, especially young women, it’s best not to go out alone at night, and definitely not to isolated places..."

As the news concluded, the program quickly moved to the next story.

After watching the news, Li Chen shook his head. Catching this person would be tough, mainly because it was uncertain when he would strike again.

Li Chen took another sip of his drink and then went to use the restroom. He walked up to the second-floor bathroom, pushed the door open, and entered.

Afterward, Li Chen skillfully unbuckled his belt and, pulling down his pants, aimed at the toilet seat and began to urinate.

The sound of flowing water, "whoosh whoosh whoosh," filled the room, giving Li Chen a moment of relief, lasting for about ten seconds.

After finishing, Li Chen began to pull up his pants, flushed the toilet, and was about to leave when he suddenly saw Lin Xiaoxiao standing next to him, staring blankly.

Xiaoxiao?

Li Chen also became stunned, his hands still holding up his pants, while Lin Xiaoxiao looked at him, hands crossed over her chest. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Lin Xiaoxiao wasn’t wearing any clothes, only using her top to cover herself.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

After a brief and awkward silence, Lin Xiaoxiao finally reacted. With Li Chen watching her, she closed her eyes, opened her mouth, inhaled, and a sharp sound seemed to be on the verge of bursting from her throat.

F*ck, don’t scream, sister-in-law!

Li Chen tensed up and immediately rushed over, trying to cover Lin Xiaoxiao’s mouth but in the next second, he slipped on the floor, losing his balance and charging forward uncontrollably.

F*ck, why is this floor so slippery?

Then, unable to stop his momentum, Li Chen’s left hand landed squarely on Lin Xiaoxiao’s chest.

Damn, this is unlucky.

Li Chen was speechless inside, but when he opened his eyes, he froze.

Holy, holy sh*t!

Li Chen was truly stunned, his mouth agape, as he gazed along Lin Xiaoxiao’s legs, looking upward, and further upward...

Beautiful, just too beautiful.

Just as Lin Xiaoxiao was about to scream, she realized Li Chen had disappeared, and along with him, the clothing that had been covering her chest.

Lin Xiaoxiao was startled, hurriedly crossed her arms over her chest, and anxiously looked around, but Li Chen was nowhere to be seen.

She breathed a sigh of relief, but when Lin Xiaoxiao accidentally glanced downward, she discovered Li Chen lying on the floor. In shock, Lin Xiaoxiao let out a shrill scream and immediately stepped back, unhesitatingly stomping on Li Chen’s face.

"Brother-in-law, you pervert!"

"Smack."

Lin Xiaoxiao’s foot pressed down on Li Chen’s face, leaving a mark, snorted, and walked away.

Li Chen cried out, but while lying on the ground, his mind was filled with the vision of Lin Xiaoxiao’s secret place he had just glimpsed.

Damn, worth it, so worth it!

"Xiaoxiao, I didn’t know you were in here," Li Chen said, seeing that Lin Xiaoxiao had no reaction, he continued, "I swear, I really didn’t see anything just now."

He shouldn’t have said anything at all but mentioning it made Lin Xiaoxiao react like an enraged lioness, baring her teeth and claws at him.

"You were lying there for so long and you say you saw nothing?" Lin Xiaoxiao was too ashamed to even bring it up, her face burning with embarrassment just thinking about it.

"Nothing, I saw nothing," Li Chen hurriedly shook his head, joking aside, he couldn’t admit it even if it killed him.

"Nothing?" Lin Xiaoxiao glared, "How could there be nothing?"

"Really, there was nothing."

"Really nothing?" Lin Xiaoxiao was full of disbelief.

"Really nothing," Li Chen stated, his face the picture of innocence.

Lin Xiaoxiao snorted and turned to leave, "Whether you saw something or not, you are not sleeping with my sister tonight."

Damn, this girl.

Li Chen shook his head, thinking how she had been teasing him on the rocking horse just this morning. Why had she suddenly changed her tune?

Li Chen felt it was necessary to talk to her; otherwise, wouldn’t he be deprived of his pleasurable night?

Remembering how he had been stirred up earlier in the afternoon, he became instantly eager.

Just as he was about to leave the restroom, at that moment, Li Chen’s phone started to ring.

A call at this time?

Li Chen was surprised.

Taking a look, he saw it was from Yang Xin.

As soon as he answered, he heard Yang Xin’s slightly panicked voice, "Li Chen, are you free?"

"What’s wrong?" Sensing something was off from Yang Xin’s tone, Li Chen quickly asked.

"I just finished tutoring a student and I keep feeling like someone is following me, plus I’ve twisted my ankle. There’s no one around, no cars, and I’m scared," Yang Xin’s voice trembled, clearly aware of the recent news about a serial killer on the loose.

Li Chen was alarmed and said, "Where are you? I’ll come right now!"

As soon as Yang Xin reported her location, she became panicked, "He’s coming after me!"

Li Chen, obviously anxious as well, said, "Xinxin, hold on, I’ll be there immediately!"

Lin Xiaoxiao, who was sitting on the couch, turned her head and saw Li Chen rush out of the villa like a gust of wind.
