Chapter 1481: Chapter 1474: Mystical Tracks (8)

She alertly glanced at the Yu Family’s driver, who also sensed something and pricked up his ears without a word. Although their pace remained unchanged, their bodies tensed up, ready to deal with any emergent issues.

The footsteps behind them seemed to detect that they were noticed, retreating slightly. But even those scattered steps were picked up by Lu Weixi and the driver. Approaching the entrance to the residential area, she gave a nod, and the driver fell back, heading to find the source of the footsteps.

The owner of the footsteps must have felt something amiss, as they turned tail and ran. The driver immediately gave chase, and the two of them quickly disappeared into the night of Yan City.

On her end, Lu Weixi had already entered the residential area. These old apartment buildings might have exterior walls and courtyards but lacked surveillance cameras and access control systems. The so-called property management was just undertaken in conjunction with a nearby cleaning company. Still, seeing the familiar buildings and her own room not too far away, she breathed a sigh of relief.

The events of today were truly bizarre. Maybe the person apprehended in the parking lot was sent by Qin Zhiyou, but what about the footsteps outside just now? As she was pondering this, her phone rang. It was a message from the driver she had just spoken to: "Caught him. It was just a thief trying to snatch something."

She exhaled in relief, thinking exactly; in broad daylight under the watchful heavens, who would dare attack her? She even considered the possibility of Hanhai and Bai Family’s involvement, which was entirely unnecessary. Then, Lu Weixi replied: "Thank you for your effort, I’m sorry for the trouble of running around late at night."

The driver responded: "No problem, as long as you are safe."

Lu Weixi was replying to the message, just as she looked up to see the entrance of her building. She quickened her pace and opened the door.

It was dim and dark inside the building’s hallway, with the sensor light bulb below also broken. Living on the first floor, it was pitch dark when Lu Weixi entered, so she had to use her phone as a flashlight to find her keys. At this time of night, her mother should have long been asleep. She had previously planned to stay overnight at Xue Feifei’s place and already informed her mother about it. Now, it would be inappropriate to wake her. She had to open the door herself.

"This bulb too, it was working just yesterday, why is it now..."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly heard a noise behind her, like the sound of leather shoes. In the quiet hallway, it was exceptionally clear.

Lu Weixi’s hair stood on end, and in an instant, she froze, not daring to move. The sound of the leather shoes was right behind her, then something sharp pressed against her lower back, followed by a man’s voice: "Don’t move, unless you fancy a double-fatal outcome."

Qin Zhiyou had been working all through the night.

The New York stock market closed at half-past two in the morning. Although trading had ceased, there was still much work to follow up on, and he had no time for rest.

By six o’clock the next morning, he had nearly finished arranging everything, poured himself another cup of coffee, and finally took a moment amidst the busyness to pick up his personal phone. It was then that he realized it had been powered off. He quickly turned it on, and a message from the bodyguard he had arranged appeared: "Mr. Qin, the Young Madam has noticed that we’re tracking her."

Qin Zhiyou was stunned momentarily, almost spilling his entire cup of coffee. He quickly checked Lu Weixi’s messages and saw many from her, but the last one read: "I’m safe now, with Sixing and Feifei looking after me; I’m fine."
