There was an eerie silence in the parking lot. Xu Xiu looked at Lin Youqiao and Lin Lou calmly.

Something flashed through her mind quickly, and then she closed the car door decisively:

"I suddenly felt that this place has beautiful scenery, and it would be nice to stay here for a night."

The little kid who was holding Da Kefu and about to get on the bus paused, immediately stood back in front of his mother, and was the first to agree:

"Yeah, I live here with my mom."

Xu Xiu touched his head and said to Shen Xingyi:

"The holiday estate next door is yours, right? Would you mind letting us stay there for a night?"

"Of course I don't mind."

Shen Xingyi immediately asked his assistant to prepare, while he and Xu Xiu each held one of the little kid's hands and walked towards the resort.

The sudden change left Lin Youqiao unable to react.

She looked at Shen Xingyi hesitantly, and instinctively stepped forward to stop the three people:

"Brother Xingyi, you, you won't send me off?"

Shen Xingyi raised his cold eyes slightly, his dark pupils seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and he spoke in a warning tone:

"Ms. Lin is a little out of line."

Lin Youqiao's heart was shaken, and the inexplicable fear made her move away a little in an instant, and she watched them leave.

The Lin siblings were the only ones left in the parking lot.

Lin Lou also took off his gentle disguise and looked at her with an ambiguous look:

"Sister, do you still want to take my car back?"

Lin Youqiao retracted his gaze and glared at him fiercely.

It was all his fault. He suddenly showed up and disrupted his plans.

She ignored Lin Lou and turned to walk towards the resort.

Lin Lou withdrew his gaze with a hint of boredom, and after a moment of silence, he also stayed in the resort.

*

After settling down in the resort, Xu Xiu hesitated again and again, and when he was about to look for Shen Xingyi, there was a sudden knock on the door.

After seeing through the peephole that it was Shen Xingyi, she opened the door with a little surprise.

Shen Xingyi had already finished washing up. He was wearing a silver-grey silk pajamas, his hair was limply scattered on his forehead, and he didn't even wear glasses. His phoenix eyes looked directly at Xu Xiu:

"I'll tell Jean a bedtime story."

Xu Xiu made room at the door to let him in.

Listening to the low voice coming from the house, Xu Xiu sat on the sofa, thinking about today's events in his mind.

All signs indicate that today is the day Ji Zhirun will take action against Shen Xingyi.

When Xu Xiu learned about the plot before, he was very puzzled as to how Lin Youqiao happened to be in the car.

Logically, Ji Zhirun would not hurt her, so he must have chosen a time when she would definitely not appear.

But Lin Youqiao showed up and saved Shen Xingyi by coincidence.

Xu Xiu once wondered whether Lin Youqiao might not be completely unaware of the matter as was written in the plot.

Is it possible that she already knew it, but was just going to go with the flow?

Lin Youqiao's performance today seemed to confirm this. She did know something, so she was eager to get into Shen Xingyi's car.

If this is true, then she is too terrifying. Not only did she know Ji Zhirun's plan, she even took advantage of it to make Shen Xingyi look at her with admiration.

However, what Xu Xiu didn't know was that Lin Youqiao not only knew about it, but she was the one who pushed the whole thing forward, subtly influencing Ji Zhirun to want to kill Shen Xingyi.

Xu Xiu fell into deep thought, so absorbed in it that he didn't even notice when Shen Xingyi came out.

When she saw the extra hot milk in front of her, she subconsciously raised her eyes.

Shen Xingyi said softly:

"Little Jean has already fallen asleep."

Xu Xiu nodded, asked him to sit on the sofa as well, and said seriously:

"Last time I talked to you about the safety of your car, have you ever taken it seriously?"

“I changed a new group of people.”

"So...did you find anything?"

Shen Xingyi raised his eyes and looked directly at her, speaking slowly and calmly:

"Have."

After hearing that there was really a situation, Xu Xiu's expression changed obviously. She pursed her lips nervously and suddenly didn't know how to continue explaining.

Shen Xingyi did not embarrass her and took the initiative to tell her everything.

It turned out that after that incident, he asked someone to conduct another detailed investigation and indeed found a special person.

He did not alert the enemy, but instead kept an eye on the man.

"and then?"

Xu Xiu couldn't help but ask.

Shen Xingyi still answered slowly:

"Just today, he tampered with the car I was driving today after the driver parked the car in a suburban parking lot."

"That……"

"Don't worry, the car we were originally going to take has been replaced, so there are no safety issues."

Shen Xingyi knew what she was worried about, so he took the initiative to explain.

Xu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Her obvious abnormality made Shen Xingyi unable to help but twist his fingertips. When he habitually wanted to push the frame on his nose, he realized that he was not wearing glasses.

After a pause, he took the initiative to confess:

"I'm sorry. After you mentioned it last time, I asked someone to investigate for your and Xiaoran's safety."

Xu Xiu raised his eyebrows:

"Are you investigating me?"

"I'm sorry, I'm just worried that someone might threaten you, so I did this."

Xu Xiu was not particularly angry, he just suddenly realized something, and all his previous doubts were resolved.

Shen Xingyi said that he investigated her, which probably meant that he investigated all the people who were related to him.

Ji Zhirun specifically talked to him at the banquet, but the two had never met before, so Shen Xingyi naturally suspected him.

So an investigation was launched into him.

So, after Xiaodouding was kidnapped last time, he immediately investigated Ji Zhirun and ruled him out.

Xu Xiu finally understood.

Shen Xingyi looked at her and asked softly:

"Well, can you help me solve my doubts now?"

Whether it was the last reminder about the car, or her sudden change of mind and unwillingness to get in the car this time.

Was he really threatened by Ji Zhirun or someone else as he guessed, or was there some other reason?

Xu Xiu no longer hesitated.

Although I couldn't tell him that I was a time traveler and therefore familiar with the plot, it was easier to find other excuses.

She uttered the excuse she had prepared long ago:

"I happened to see Ji Zhirun on the phone. He mentioned that he would do something to your car. I wasn't sure if I heard it wrong, so I didn't dare to say it out loud."

Xu Xiu didn't say Lin Youqiao's name in the end.

She originally wanted to make up a story about overhearing the conversation between Ji Zhirun and Lin Youqiao, since Shen Xingyi had no way to investigate anyway.

However, after weighing the pros and cons, she gave up.

Although Shen Xingyi and Lin Youqiao don't seem to have any possibility at the moment, but this is also true in the plot. The more indifferent he is in the early stage, the more he will chase his wife to the crematorium in the later stage, so Xu Xiu dare not gamble.

She was afraid that one day Shen Xingyi would really repent towards Lin Youqiao as in the plot. If that day came and he remembered that she had "slandered" Lin Youqiao in the past, he would probably not let her go.

For safety reasons, Xu Xiu still hid this part.

Shen Xingyi narrowed his black eyes slightly and soon noticed the loophole in her words.

"Then why did you refuse to get in the car today?"

"I just wanted to stay here for one night, but I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."

Xu Xiu's excuse came out without any hesitation.

Anyway, Shen Xingyi has already sensed the danger, so there is no need for her to expose herself and arouse suspicion.
