Around one o’clock in the morning, there was still no sign of movement in the rented apartment. Xiao Yufan began to doubt whether his prediction had been wrong—maybe it had just been a dream…
Suppressing his sleepiness, Xiao Yufan forced himself to stay alert. If he gave up now, he knew Yi Han would definitely mock him.
“This is so boring. I have work tomorrow. I don’t have time to waste here with you…”
Perhaps she really was tired, Yi Han murmured softly. Although the dim surroundings made it impossible for Xiao Yufan to see her expression clearly, he could still sense her disdain, which only made him feel more irritated.
Just as he was about to stand up and retort, Xiao Yufan suddenly detected a faint rustling sound outside the room. The door quietly cracked open a narrow slit, which gradually widened. The entire process was eerily silent.
Carefully controlling his breathing, Xiao Yufan knew they absolutely couldn’t let the intruders discover their position. Although he was confident he could quickly subdue the two trespassers, he couldn’t guarantee Yi Han wouldn’t get hurt.
He could feel Yi Han’s nervousness too—her body was trembling slightly. After all, she was just a woman, and it was natural to feel fear in such a situation.
“Don’t worry. They won’t find us!”
As footsteps drew closer, Xiao Yufan whispered into Yi Han’s ear. The entire house had already been set up. Even if the two hadn’t shown up tonight, whoever had come would still have been scared off permanently.
The two intruders didn’t even glance at the valuable items around them, heading straight toward the bedroom. It was clear—they weren’t here for money.
“Ahh…” Suddenly, a piercing scream shattered the silence of the house. The scream was chilling. As soon as it echoed out, Xiao Yufan clearly felt the two intruders’ steps falter, while he secretly chuckled in the shadows.
The sudden sound, of course, had been triggered by Xiao Yufan. But this was only the beginning. Since they enjoyed playing games, he naturally had to play along.
A small remote control appeared in Xiao Yufan’s hand. As he pressed different buttons, eerie sounds erupted from all corners of the room. In the dead of night, each sound was bone-chillingly unsettling.
If sounds alone weren’t enough to seem strange, now the lights in Xiao Yufan’s bedroom began flickering continuously…
Under the dual assault of sound and light, Xiao Yufan knew even the bravest person would feel fear—it was a natural instinct. He believed those two were already on the verge of breaking down.
The two people in the living room were now panicking, so much so they’d even forgotten why they had come. All they could think about was escaping this place as quickly as possible.
“They’ve got some nerve. Guess I’ll have to give them a stronger scare. Poor guys—hope they don’t end up traumatized for life…”
Suddenly, Xiao Yufan felt a bit sorry for the two unlucky souls. Of course, if it weren’t for his ability to foresee the future, it might have been him and Yi Han enduring this terror tonight. If he didn’t properly scare these two, whoever was secretly plotting against them wouldn’t be deterred.
Soon, Xiao Yufan truly showed them what terror meant. When a mysterious object glowing with a dim green light lunged from his bedroom, the two intruders didn’t dare hesitate any longer—they scrambled out in panic, probably never to forget this night for the rest of their lives…
…
After the two “thieves” fled the apartment, the two hiding in the shadows finally emerged, though Yi Han was still visibly shaken.
From the intruders’ actions upon entering, Yi Han had already figured something out—it definitely hadn’t been a robbery. It seemed the people targeting their company had started resorting to underhanded tactics…
“Now… is everything okay?” Without realizing it, Yi Han had grabbed Xiao Yufan’s arm. As soon as she noticed, she hastily let go. The darkness perfectly concealed the blush on her face.
“Everything should be fine. Of course, if you’re still scared, you’re welcome to come to my bedroom…”
Xiao Yufan shamelessly suggested. This little incident at the rented apartment had temporarily eased the tension between them, giving him a secret thrill.
“Go to hell…” Yi Han turned and walked toward her own bedroom. Even imagining it made her guess the lewd expression Xiao Yufan must be wearing right now. Naturally, this only made her feel like cursing him out…
