At ten o'clock in the evening, Xu Weiwei just got off work from the bureau and returned home!
After all, there was such a major bank hijacking case during the day, so she was busy and somewhat overwhelmed for the entire day!
However, it could be seen that she was in a good mood today.
This case could be considered the biggest bank robbery case in the history of Yangzhou City. The culprits were ferocious and possessed lethal weapons, yet the incident concluded with zero casualties.
Just now, the bureau chief had also told her that superiors had called multiple times to praise their branch, and that if she, Xu Weiwei, was considered for the position of deputy director next time, her chances would be quite high.
Opening the door, Xu Weiwei paused, then tiptoed to the door of the adjacent room.
Looking inside through the peephole, Xu Weiwei couldn't help but mutter, "So late, and that guy isn't even home?"
It had to be said that the biggest contribution to today's major bank robbery case was Ye Cangtian.
All eight robbers were killed by Ye Cangtian alone, and he had also discovered the bombs planted by the robbers.
Otherwise, even if the troops stationed in the suburbs had arrived, they would have been helpless against these criminals, and it was possible that these guys would have blown up the bank building before leaving.
This would have resulted in immeasurable casualties!
"I really can't see through this guy! His marksmanship is so accurate, he's definitely not simple!" Xu Weiwei snorted, thinking to herself that she absolutely had to find an opportunity to investigate the guy's background.
...
In the Half Moon Bay Villa district.
Helplessly, Tang Xinwan eventually had to arrange for Ye Cangtian to stay in the room on the second floor, because the only bedroom on the third floor was where her parents used to live.
To keep her parents' bedroom exactly as it was, that bedroom on the third floor naturally could not be used for lodging.
Therefore, the only vacant room was on the second floor.
Next to her own bedroom was a well-organized guest bedroom, which was usually reserved for close friends when they visited.
So, out of necessity, she had to arrange for Ye Cangtian to stay in this guest room.
Having a "uninvited guest" in the house made Tang Xinwan feel both annoyed and a little uneasy.
After all, this was the first time a man other than her father had stayed in her home!
There were naturally many awkward situations.
Especially thinking about the scene in the bathroom earlier made her blush during dinner, leading Aunt Zhang to think she was sick.
So, after quickly finishing her meal, Tang Xinwan went upstairs directly.
However, after returning to her bedroom, she couldn't help but recall the experience in the bank building during the day. All of it wasn't a dream, but reality!
Those bandits who killed without blinking an eye!
The feeling of being forcibly pulled from the hostages with a gun to her head!
These scenes replayed in her mind, causing her pretty face to turn pale once more.
This was the first time in her life she had experienced something so terrifying; she had even thought she was going to die at that moment!
"I didn't expect it was him who saved me!" Tang Xinwan murmured to herself.
Ye Cangtian!
It was Ye Cangtian who appeared when she was at her most desperate that she was saved!
This made her mood suddenly complex. Someone who, in her opinion, was from a different world, someone she could never fall in love with, had actually saved her life at a critical moment.
Although she hadn't said it out loud, she was subtly touched.
Now that the person was staying in her house, and in the room next door, it greatly calmed her somewhat panicked and anxious mood, and her eyes gradually became tired. Before long, she fell asleep with steady breathing.
Perhaps, if Ye Cangtian hadn't been staying in her house, she wouldn't have fallen asleep so quickly.
...
Late at night!
In a detached villa of the He family!
A glass of expensive red wine was smashed to the ground with a bang, accompanied by a furious roar through gritted teeth: "Damn it, Liu Zhendong actually set me up?"
He had excitedly called Liu Zhendong to ask about the results of his revenge, only to be met with Liu Zhendong's scolding!
It was obvious that Liu Zhendong had taken his money but hadn't done the job!
This made him extremely angry!
He hadn't given this guy benefits often over the years, all with the thought of having these people help him out in the future. He never expected that after receiving benefits, they would falter at the critical moment.
"Ye Cangtian, who exactly are you!"
He Chuan clenched his fist. He wasn't stupid. The fact that Liu Zhendong was willing to offend him rather than act against Ye Cangtian surely meant that Liu Zhendong was wary of the other party.
However, this person was a figure in the underground world. Even if he had scammed him, there was nothing he could do about him!
Was he really going to let that brat Ye Cangtian swagger around comfortably?
He Chuan couldn't do it, and he couldn't swallow this humiliation!
Just then, a middle-aged man heard the commotion and walked in, asking, "Young master, what happened?"
"It's nothing!"
He Chuan gritted his teeth and replied. Then, thinking of something, he looked at the middle-aged man with a gleam in his eyes and quickly asked, "Uncle Zhong, I've encountered some trouble. There's a guy who's a tough nut to crack, and the people I know can't handle him. Can Uncle Zhong help me deal with him?"
Uncle Zhong! He was a butler in the He family, but he had a hidden identity for many years.
"Young master, you know I haven't been in that line of work for many years, and I also promised the master..." Uncle Zhong said with a wry smile, shaking his head helplessly.
He Chuan couldn't help but feel disappointed. He had been hopeful, as he knew very well that his family's butler was not simple; he had been an assassin in his youth.
"However, if the young master is truly in unsolvable trouble, I do know some 'friends' who can be hired for a sum of money!" Uncle Zhong said slowly after a moment of hesitation.
"Really? Money is not an issue!" He Chuan's eyes flashed with surprise.
"But if the master finds out, I..."
"Don't worry, my father is on a business trip to Kyoto and won't be back for a week!" He Chuan waved his hand dismissively, feeling exceptionally good.
...
The next day!
Tang Xinwan woke up on time. As soon as she finished washing up and went downstairs, she saw Ye Cangtian tending to the flowers and plants in the yard with the housekeeper Aunt Zhang.
This guy had quite the skills, actually winning over her family's housekeeper first!
Tang Xinwan ate breakfast at the dining table and softly muttered, "Yesterday was just an exception. Today, that guy must leave my house!"
Letting this guy stay yesterday was already unprecedented for her. Although they were considered engaged couple in terms of relationship, Tang Xinwan absolutely would not let that guy stay in her house.
Even though he had saved her life, it was one thing at a time, and she wouldn't fall for him because of it.
Half an hour later!
Tang Xinwan directly walked into the garage and drove her Maserati President. As soon as she exited the garage, Ye Cangtian stood with a smiling face at the entrance of the yard.
Just as Ye Cangtian was about to get into the car, the car window rolled down, and Tang Xinwan said coldly, "From today onwards, you are not allowed to come to my house without my permission! Also, take a taxi to the company yourself and don't be late!"
After speaking, without waiting for Ye Cangtian to retort, she drove the car out of the yard and sped away.
She saw Ye Cangtian's distressed look through the rearview mirror, and a hint of a smile appeared on her icy-cold face.
Ye Cangtian stood dumbfounded at the entrance of the yard, his smile stiff. After a long while, he couldn't help but complain, "Burning the bridge after crossing it! Besides, where am I supposed to catch a taxi from here?"
This was a wealthy district, and every household had its own luxury car, so it was very difficult to catch a taxi near the Half Moon Bay residential area.
