Big socks! Do you even understand how you kiss a villain?

Shen Yan quietly met her gaze and slowly closed his eyes under her watchful eye.

With the arrow already on the bowstring, Zuo You felt a surge of heat in her heart. She gritted her teeth, climbed up his neck, and pulled him down a bit.

Shen Yan bent down obediently, her long eyelashes trembling.

Feeling her getting closer and closer, Shen Yan's lips curved into a barely perceptible smile. However, he did not receive the touch on his lips, but instead felt her warm breath brush against his lips.

A warm kiss touched her brow, and the world seemed to stop for a moment. Shen Yan heard his own heartbeat amplified a thousand times.

He could no longer restrain himself and wrapped one arm around her waist...

The next second, something touched his collarbone, slowly moving downwards. Shen Yan couldn't help but make a sound and finally opened his eyes.

"Shen Yan, I've done it again..."

Zuo You, snapping out of her daze, covered her nose with one hand and looked at him awkwardly.

Shen Yan's eyes trembled, his gaze shifting from the bright red blood on her fingertips to his own body, where a few drops of blood were slowly dripping down.

Zuo You reached out her other hand and wiped his collarbone and chest, saying apologetically, "Sorry, let me wipe it for you!"

However, when she opened her mouth, blood started flowing from her nose.

Shen Yan felt a sting in her eye and quickly took her to the bathroom to stop the bleeding.

"Shen Yan, do I have some kind of terminal illness?" Zuo You stared blankly at her hands covered in blood.

"Don't talk nonsense." Shen Yan took a towel and wiped the blood off her hands one by one, soothingly saying, "Your test results are all fine, don't overthink it."

He was trying to comfort Zuo You, but his slightly trembling lips betrayed his panic.

Zuo You laughed easily: "That's true. A strong woman like me with such vigor and vitality is definitely fine. It's probably just that I'm a bit overheated."

"But I was just one step away again today. Don't worry, I'll make it up to you once I've recovered!"

"Okay, you rest here first, I'll go contact the doctor." Shen Yan wasn't in the mood to joke around with her at the moment; he urgently needed to confirm some things.

Zuo You watched his hurried departure, and the smile on her face faded.

The phone rang again. Zuo You picked it up and saw that it was an email.

There's only one sentence inside: Scared? Come to Heartbeat Zone alone right now, and I'll tell you everything.

……

Heartbeat Zone is one of the most popular entertainment venues among young people in City A. Here, guests' privacy is absolutely protected. As long as you wear a mask, no one will know what you look like or your identity. All they will know is your soul.

Young people on the dance floor swayed to the music, and the dim lighting made the atmosphere even more ambiguous, making it hard not to get lost in it.

Zuo You turned her gaze away and touched the bracelet on her wrist.

The mysterious man's invitation did pique her curiosity, but she wouldn't be foolish enough to go alone.

With a powerful figure following her and the tracking bracelet on her wrist, she will be very safe.

【Come to room 001.】

Zuo You glanced at the email she had just received, then led Da Neng through the brightly lit corridor until they saw the 001 sign.

"Miss Youyou, let me go in first." Da Neng cautiously placed his hand on the doorknob.

Zuo You nodded, and Da Neng slowly pushed open the door.

However, the small room was empty except for a wooden box on the table in the center of the room.

A new message appeared in my email: "Since you don't trust me, there's no need for us to meet."

It seems the other party is determined to maintain the mystery to the very end.

The other party hadn't arrived yet, and Zuo You should have turned around and left, but for some reason, the wooden box held a great attraction for her, and she couldn't help but walk forward.

"Miss Youyou, are these your things?" Da Neng opened the box first, looking somewhat surprised.

Zuo You picked up a photo inside; it appeared to be a family of four.

A middle-aged woman in a cheongsam nestled sweetly in the arms of a man in a suit, with two children standing in front of them.

The boy, wearing a pink short-sleeved shirt, angrily pulled the girl's ponytail next to him, while his ear had already been twisted by the girl.

Is this her?

The fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, still bearing the marks of youth, glared angrily at the boy, and her face was identical to Zuo You's.

If your family knew you were with the person who killed them, do you think they'd be frantic with worry in heaven? Take a good look, you only have one chance...

The ethereal voice echoed in her mind, and Zuo You felt a lightness in her body, as if her entire soul had been sucked away by something...

On the other side, Shen Yan received Zuo You's complete medical examination report, and his usually indifferent face showed a change of expression.

"Young Master, all of Miss Zuo's data are normal, practically perfect, so you don't need to worry."

Looking at the test results, the doctor couldn't help but exclaim in amazement; he hadn't seen such perfect physical measurements in a long time.

However, Shen Yan's expression did not relax; instead, his brows furrowed even more.

After a long while, he took out his phone and made a call.

"Mr. Shen, what can I do for you?"

The call was quickly connected, and the other party asked in somewhat broken Chinese.

Shen Yan asked, "How has that woman been behaving lately? Has she shown any unusual behavior, or has anyone been looking for her?"

"Reporting to Mr. Shen, our people are monitoring her in shifts around the clock, and we have not found anyone suspicious approaching her."

Shen Yan thought for a moment and said, "Have someone turn on a video now. I want to see it with my own eyes."

"Yes, Mr. Shen, I'll get ready right away."

Shen Yan put down his phone and brought up the location display on it, which showed that Zuo You's location was moving rapidly.

His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly called Zuo You.

"Shen Yan, you miss me so soon?" A clear voice quickly rang out, full of cheerfulness.

Shen Yan, feeling more relaxed after being influenced by her, asked, "Have you gone out?"

After he finished speaking, he waited nervously for her reply, worried that she would be angry because of the locator.

"Don't worry, I'm just going to play in the Heartbeat Zone for a bit and I'll be right back. Da Neng is coming with me, so it's all safe!"

After she finished speaking, she asked Da Neng to greet her.

Shen Yan nodded, then suddenly realized she couldn't see, and added, "Come back early, and don't flirt with other men, or women either."

A giggle came from the other end of the phone, and Shen Yan's face flushed, especially since Dr. Li next to him was looking at him with a wide grin.

Shen Yan left with the phone in hand, and heard loud music coming from the other end, so it seemed that they had arrived at their destination.

Shen Yan couldn't help but give a few more instructions, and only hung up when the call came back from overseas.

"Mr. Shen, something terrible has happened! That woman has been switched!"
