Just after being thrown into the lake, seven beautiful women blocked the door calling him "husb

The door was slammed shut.

boom!

The loud noise echoed through the empty apartment, making everyone's head buzz.

Chen Ye leaned against the cold door, looking as if his bones had been removed.

His body slid uncontrollably, and he finally collapsed to the ground.

My heart is still pounding.

The effects of alcohol, anger, and a hint of panic that he himself was unwilling to admit.

Three forces surged and crashed through his body.

【Hold!】

What the hell is this monster?!

He spent so many years in KTVs, those chaotic places, in his past life.

What kind of difficult customers haven't I seen?

Some were drunk and disorderly, some were physically abusive, some refused to pay their debts, and some even carried knives.

But none of them could have pushed him to this point like the girl in the white dress tonight.

She did nothing.

I didn't scold him, I didn't hit him, and I didn't even say another word to him.

She just followed along.

In this bizarre way, they gradually crushed his psychological defenses.

Chen Ye was panting heavily, and he raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

He swayed as he got up from the floor and walked into the living room.

Take a bottle of ice water from the refrigerator.

I unscrewed the cap and gulped down most of the bottle.

The cold liquid slid down my throat.

It calmed his burning head down a little.

She'll leave, won't she?

A girl can't just stay outside someone else's house all night.

Chen Ye comforted himself in this way.

He walked to the sofa and lay down.

But as soon as I close my eyes, all I can see in my mind is that white figure.

She sat upright in the corner of the KTV room.

She followed him at a distance, neither too close nor too far, on a deserted street late at night.

Finally, at the elevator door, she wore a polite yet innocent smile.

Those images looked like pop-up ads from someone infected with a virus.

It was going wild in his head, and he couldn't turn it off.

No.

Can't sleep.

Chen Ye suddenly sat up from the sofa and rushed to the entrance.

Staring at the smart home control panel on the wall.

My finger hovered over the "Access Control and Monitoring" icon for a full half minute.

In the end, he still clicked it.

The screen lights up.

The motion-sensor lights in the corridor emitted a cool, pale glow.

The white figure huddled in the corner, squatting on the ground.

She buried her face in her knees, looking small and pitiful, helpless.

But Chen Ye only felt a chill run down his spine.

You're really not leaving?!

What exactly is she trying to do? Is she after money? But I've already given her all my money!

[For sex? I may be handsome, but does that mean I deserve this kind of relentless pursuit?]

Could it be... someone sent by a competitor to sabotage me? A new honey trap tactic?

A series of thoughts flashed through his mind, only to be rejected one by one.

wrong.

Neither is correct.

This Wen Yi felt completely different to him than the others.

Chen Ye turned off the surveillance cameras.

He paced back and forth in the living room, feeling restless.

He drank another half bottle of ice water, then forced himself back to his bedroom and lay down on the bed.

Pull the blanket up and cover your head.

sleep!

Whether she dies or lives out there!

I don't care anymore!

One minute.

five minutes.

ten minutes.

Useless.

As soon as he closed his eyes, the white figure squatting at the door would appear clearly before him.

It's even clearer than watching 4K high-definition.

[Fuck! I give up, okay?!]

Chen Ye suddenly threw off the covers and jumped out of bed.

He rushed to the entrance again and turned on the security camera.

She's still here.

She went from squatting to sitting against the wall with her legs curled up, making her look even smaller.

He couldn't hold it in anymore.

He could no longer bear this mental torment.

He suddenly reached out and yanked open the apartment door!

"Splash—"

The light was blinding and the sound was sudden.

This startled Wen Yi, who was sitting on the ground, so much so that she trembled all over.

She suddenly raised her head, her face filled with fear and panic.

Chen Ye stood at the doorway, looking down at her, his chest heaving and his eyes red.

"What the hell do you want?!"

His anger, which he had suppressed all night, finally erupted at this moment.

The voice wasn't loud, but it carried a fierce force that seemed capable of tearing someone apart.

Wen Yi shrank back, her lips trembling, as he yelled at her.

He couldn't utter a word for a long time, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Speak!" Chen Ye took another step closer.

"I...I..." Wen Yi finally found her voice.

Her voice was barely audible, like the buzzing of a mosquito: "I...I'd like to ask you..."

"What are you inviting me to? Are you inviting me to watch you perform performance art in front of my house in the middle of the night?"

Chen Ye interrupted her without any politeness, his words full of sarcasm.

"No..." Wen Yi shook her head desperately, and tears finally fell.

She seemed to have used up all her strength.

Only then did he manage to say that sentence in its entirety.

"I'd like to ask you... to help me with a lawsuit..."

The air froze instantly.

All of Chen Ye's anger, irritability, and vigilance were stunned by those words.

To...to file a lawsuit?

He stared blankly at the girl in front of him, who was crying her eyes out.

I wonder if I'm still drunk and hallucinating.

[So after all that... they're here to deliver business?]

[Are you crazy, lady?! Who delivers business like that?! You almost scared the client to death, you know?!]

This reversal is too outrageous.

It was so outrageous that Chen Ye didn't know how to react for a moment.

He stood there, stunned, staring at Wen Yi, who was sitting on the ground.

They remained in a standoff for about ten seconds.

Chen Ye finally couldn't take it anymore.

He was so tired, physically tired, and mentally tired even more.

He didn't want to put on another midnight show with this woman with her eccentric thought process in the hallway.

"Come in."

He stepped aside, making way for the doorway.

His voice was dry and tired.

Wen Yi was stunned for a moment, seemingly not quite understanding.

"Do you want me to treat you?" Chen Ye said again, sounding annoyed.

Wen Yi then seemed to wake up from a dream and hurriedly got up from the ground.

Because she had been squatting for too long, her legs went numb, and she stumbled and almost fell again.

She leaned against the wall and limped into Chen Ye's apartment.

The moment she walked in, her entire aura changed instantly.

Outside the door, she was the mysterious stalker who drove Chen Ye mad.

But once inside this private space belonging to Chen Ye...

She immediately transformed back into the timid and reserved little rabbit she was in the KTV room.

She stood in the entryway, looking around the luxuriously decorated apartment with unease.

Her high heels left several gray marks on the floor, making her even more flustered.

Chen Ye closed the door and looked at her.

My anger inexplicably flared up again.

He was tormented by this woman all night.

Are we just going to leave it at that?

On what grounds?

A mischievous thought quietly began to sprout in his rogue heart.

[He's been tormenting me all night; if I don't get my revenge, all that suffering I've endured tonight will be for nothing.]

Chen Ye walked to the bar without making a sound and poured himself a glass of water.

Then, he carried the water and walked towards Wenyi.

"Please sit down."

He pointed to the sofa in the living room.

"Thanks……"

Wen Yi thanked her quietly, walked to the sofa, and sat down carefully.

His body was taut and straight.

Chen Ye placed the water glass on the coffee table in front of her.

Then, instead of sitting on the single sofa opposite, he went straight to sit next to Wen Yi.

Very close.

They were so close that their knees almost touched.

Chen Ye was so close that he could clearly smell the cheap perfume on her.

Wen Yi's body stiffened instantly.

She instinctively tried to move to the side.

But the sofa is only so big, where could she possibly move it to?

Chen Ye could clearly sense her tension and resistance.

well.

This is exactly the effect I wanted.

He picked up his wine glass and gently swirled the remaining half-full of wine inside.

"Speak, what case is it?"

His voice sounded languid, with a hint of drunken hoarseness.

Wen Yi, however, became even more nervous, like a student being called on by the teacher to answer a question.

"It's...it's about my father..."

She spoke haltingly, her voice trembling with tears.

As Chen Ye listened, his heart was stirred.

This kind of case is very special and difficult to handle.

Chen Ye looked at her frightened expression.

He slowly put down his wine glass.

Then, under Wen Yi's horrified gaze...

He slowly raised his right arm.

The movement was slow and aggressive.

That hand crossed the safe distance between them and reached straight for her shoulder.

Wen Yi's breathing stopped.

She tried to dodge, but her body was too stiff to move.

Just as Chen Ye's hand was about to touch her shoulder.

She recoiled sharply as if pricked by a needle!

He shrank into the corner of the sofa.

She crossed her arms over her chest and looked at Chen Ye with a terrified expression.

Chen Ye's hand remained frozen in mid-air.

He looked at her, so terrified.

A wicked smile slowly spread across his face.

He withdrew his hand and leaned back lazily.

He crossed his legs, looking both relaxed and arrogant.

Then, he proceeded slowly and deliberately.

Enjoying her startled expression, he uttered those words.

"Didn't you come back with me on your own?"
