Because of this call, Ji Siyue didn't sleep a wink all night. She didn't dare to check who had called until dawn. However, her phone had been smashed to pieces, so she couldn't make any calls. Helpless, she could only log in to her computer QQ to find someone.
After looking around, she finally found someone online.
[Ji Siyue]: Guys, is anyone online?
Ten minutes later.
[Yaoyao the Cutie]: What's up?
[Ji Siyue]: I received a threatening call last night. I was so scared that I smashed my phone... Can someone come and pick me up? I'm too scared to go out and report it to the police by myself.
Although Ji Siyue's timidity was partly to blame, it was always better to be careful.
[Yaoyao the Cutie]: I'll go there with Nangong Qi later. Don't go out for now and don't meet anyone. I'll inform Lao Qin.
[Ji Siyue]: Okay, I'll wait for you.
After closing the computer, Ji Siyue sat on the sofa and waited.
She couldn't help but wonder why things had come to such a dead - end at this point.
Where on earth had things gone wrong...
Half an hour later, there was a knock on the door.
Ji Siyue was startled. She tiptoed to the door and peeked through the peephole. Seeing that it was Zhu Zhiyao, she opened the door with relief.
"Why are you alone?"
Zhu Zhiyao stood outside the door helplessly and said, "Nangong Qi's master's tutor has something urgent to discuss with him. Lao Qin is still discussing things with Lawyer Liu. So I'm the only one who came. Shall I take you to the police station?"
"Come in first." Ji Siyue opened the door and made way, saying, "I have something to discuss with you."
Zhu Zhiyao paused for a moment. After entering, he suddenly said, "In the future, except for your boyfriend and very reliable relatives, don't let other men enter your room alone, and don't invite someone into your room on your own initiative, especially when you're alone!"
He said it earnestly, just like a caring old father.
Ji Siyue couldn't help but smile: "Why do you say that? It seems like you're over - caring."
"Don't you already know whether I'm over - caring or not?" Zhu Zhiyao suddenly said.
This time, Ji Siyue couldn't smile anymore. She just stood there blankly, as if thinking about something.
Yes, she had already noticed, but she had still been suspicious before he said these words. Now she was sure, and the doubts in her heart were like huge waves.
Zhu Zhiyao walked in instead. He picked up her smashed phone from the ground and said, "Don't worry. Since I've come in, I definitely won't make things difficult for you."
Ji Siyue remembered what he had just said, not to let anyone other than her boyfriend in. He wasn't her boyfriend, so he could only be in the role of a relative. Thinking back on their way of getting along, it did seem to be similar to that of relatives.
That is to say... After saying those words, he still came in, which meant he didn't regard himself as that kind of man, but as a relative.
"Thank you for still coming."
"They were all busy. Could I just leave you here alone to be scared to death?"
"You're right..." Ji Siyue murmured in reply.
Zhu Zhiyao looked around and found that except for this phone and the call last night, there seemed to be no traces of deliberate destruction here. He dispelled the idea that someone had broken into the room and said, "Pack up and let's go. Your eye bags are almost touching the ground. You must not have slept well last night, right?"
"Ah?" Ji Siyue subconsciously touched her eyes and said, "I was really scared to death! Someone called in the middle of the night. It sounded like a ghost was shouting for me to die on the phone. Coupled with what happened at the base yesterday... By the way, let me show you!"
Ji Siyue went upstairs and gave the bead she had taken out from the base yesterday in the chaos to Zhu Zhiyao.
"Didn't I post a Weibo last night?"
Zhu Zhiyao took the bead and looked extremely solemn: "So what you said in your Weibo was true!"
"I've never told a lie! I didn't take it out yesterday because the mirror was too broken. I wasn't sure at that time whether it was broken by this bead or not. But after I received this call... There must be someone who wants to hurt us. So..."
Ji Siyue didn't continue because she saw that Zhu Zhiyao's face was the most serious she had ever seen. It was as if it was covered with ice, looking quite scary.
She unconsciously shrank her neck: "You... What's wrong with you? Your face looks really scary!"
"We must call the police immediately. Now we have enough evidence to file a case!"
"No no no! I wanted to discuss with you... to see if we could wait a little longer to see if this person would commit another crime. I want to catch him..."
Before she could finish, Zhu Zhiyao frowned and growled directly: "No! Do you know how dangerous this is?"
"I know! Trust me!"
Zhu Zhiyao didn't say a word. He just stared at her.
After a while, he said, "You really want to do this, don't you?"
Ji Siyue hesitated for a moment, then nodded firmly, looking at him: "I want to try it my own way. If we call the police now, we may never catch that person. Before I threw my phone out last night, it was an unknown number, and it was a landline... It must not be easy to find!"
"... Okay."
"Ah?" Ji Siyue was a bit incredulous.
He just agreed like this? She had even prepared a long speech to persuade him.
Zhu Zhiyao finally grinned and smiled faintly: "I thought that if I didn't let you do it, you would surely talk for a long time. You're already tired enough, so I agree with you."
"... Hehe... If it were Lao Qin, she would definitely carry me on her shoulder and take me to the police station directly." Ji Siyue sniffed: "Sorry! I didn't mean to make a comparison. Because except for you, no one else has helped me like this. You're the first one."
Although she had always been with them before, she had always been taken care of by Qin Chengyao. Zhu Zhiyao was the first one to help her like this.
"You haven't had a good rest, but you still want to do this. I know your determination. Instead of confronting you, it's better to discuss with you what to do. But I'll say it again. Without the police's personal protection order, it will be troublesome if something happens."
"I know. I don't regret it. This is my own choice. I have to do something..."
"Sigh..." Zhu Zhiyao took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll accompany you. Now tell me what you specifically want to do."
