Gentle Sleep Instructor
Chapter 649 Danger
He wasn't sure why he felt such intense fear towards this seemingly peaceful man, perhaps simply because he was Crimson?
"It really... it really is him." Fatty said subconsciously.
"Miss Lin gave me the surveillance footage. She also thinks something's fishy." Jiang Cheng said, "She also asked me if I knew where Pi Ruan went. They haven't been in touch for a long time."
After thinking for a moment, Fatty said, "Doctor, are we going to see Miss Lin now?"
Jiang Cheng glanced at the phone in Fatty's hand, indicating, "Call Huai Yi, we're going to pick him up."
Hearing that Huai Yi was coming along, Fatty showed a hint of wariness and lowered his voice, "Doctor, have you figured something out?"
There was no need to bring Huai Yi along for something like visiting Miss Lin, especially this late at night, unless... Fatty sensed danger in the doctor's actions.
"Are you worried this is a trap?" Fatty asked rapidly, "Miss Lin is just bait, and this is all directed by Pi Ruan... no, by Crimson?"
Since leaving the mission this time, Fatty vaguely felt that the doctor had changed a lot, sometimes even feeling like he was a different person.
Especially in communication.
Fatty then realized that there were oddities everywhere in this matter. If this was really Crimson's doing, would they leave a video for them as evidence?
Would they be found by ordinary people like Miss Lin?
Considering the feeling Luo He gave him, Fatty didn't think so.
So, there was a high probability that this was a trap.
Holding the phone, Fatty hesitated to call Huai Yi. Instead, he turned his head and advised Jiang Cheng, "Doctor, why don't we just skip it tonight? We'll go find Huai Yi in a bit, and the three of us can crash with his little sisters for the night. We can go find Miss Lin when it's light." He paused and continued, "That's safer, right?"
"We're going now." Jiang Cheng drove Huai Yi's car, turning left into a fork in the road, "I'm worried it will be too late, and Miss Lin will be in danger."
Fatty had heard of the methods of Crimson's people. If they found out their plot had been exposed, it was hard to say what would happen to Miss Lin.
Although Fatty didn't think their relationship with Miss Lin was that deep.
But since the doctor had decided, he would just do it.
He called Huai Yi, and the phone rang for a while before he answered, Huai Yi sounding breathless, as if he had just gone through a fierce battle.
Hearing that he was being asked to come out now, Huai Yi was reluctant, but Jiang Cheng took the phone and convinced him with just one sentence, "The Night Watchman is looking for you."
Then he hung up the phone.
Sure enough, only 10 minutes later, after Jiang Cheng and the others appeared downstairs at the hotel, Huai Yi, wearing only thin clothes, was already waiting there.
After getting in the car, Huai Yi's face was pale as he asked anxiously, "What does the Night Watchman want with me? And how did they know I was staying here?"
Jiang Cheng didn't explain the question. He didn't have the time, nor the mood. In the end, Fatty told him about Miss Lin.
Purely in terms of experience, Huai Yi was still qualified. Although he couldn't compare to the doctor, he was still much stronger than most people encountered in missions.
After hearing the whole story, he and Jiang Cheng agreed that this was likely a trap set by Pi Ruan and the others, using Miss Lin and taking advantage of the opportunity to understand the situation to lure them over.
Driving to the vicinity of Miss Lin's residence, Jiang Cheng stopped the car at a relatively far distance, then turned off the headlights.
"We shouldn't all go over there. We'll be done for if we're surrounded." Huai Yi suggested, "I think it's best if just one of us goes. The other two can stay outside and provide backup."
Fatty looked around and swallowed. "Good idea."
Jiang Cheng nodded, "That makes sense."
But then, Huai Yi, who had made the suggestion, vaguely felt that something was wrong, because Jiang Cheng and Fatty not only didn't move, but were staring at him.
"What... what are you looking at me for?" Huai Yi panicked a little, "You don't want me to go, do you? I'm not close to Miss Lin."
"That's true." Fatty licked his lips and continued, "It wouldn't be fair to assign anyone to go, since there would be some risk. How about... we take a democratic vote?"
"I have no objections." Jiang Cheng said.
About 30 seconds later, Huai Yi got out of the car alone, cursing, and walked towards Miss Lin's house wearing Fatty's work coat.
Jiang Cheng and Fatty stayed in the car, keeping a close eye on the surrounding movements.
Jiang Cheng reminded Huai Yi to turn on the phone call, so that they could get news from the outside at any time.
Finding the corresponding door number, he knocked cautiously on the door, but after only two knocks, the door opened with a "creak", which startled Huai Yi.
Because the door... wasn't locked at all, it was ajar.
Standing at the door and looking inside, it was relatively dark, and he could barely make out the appearance of a living room.
The area was relatively large, and the furniture inside seemed to be covered by a layer of black mist, turning into a series of blurred outlines.
Perhaps it was because of his preconceived notions, but Huai Yi always felt that these blurred black shadows would move when he wasn't paying attention.
Even more strangely, from his angle, he could just see a door at the innermost part of the room opening, like a bedroom.
The door was only opened a crack wide, and a faint light was emitted from inside.
The light source was relatively dim, probably a night light on the bedside table or something.
Huai Yi became extremely vigilant. After realizing that the door was not closed, but only ajar, he understood that there was a problem and immediately closed the call with Jiang Cheng and the others.
Moreover, he had no intention of going in at all. He slowly retreated, his footsteps were very light. Just as he was about to leave the range of the door, suddenly, through the crack, he saw a figure flash in the bedroom.
The cold sweat on Huai Yi's forehead instantly fell down.
It was a woman wearing a blue nightgown, with her head down, her long hair covering her face.
Huai Yi was so scared that his hair stood on end. He turned around and ran. He hadn't run far from the building when he ran into Jiang Cheng and Fatty.
Seeing these two people, Huai Yi was so excited that he almost cried. He was still worried that after the phone was disconnected, Jiang Cheng would know that there was a problem with him and would run away, leaving him behind.
As expected of Crimson!
Reliable!
Huai Yi was just about to describe what happened on his side when he found that Jiang Cheng's brow was slightly furrowed, and Fatty's face was not much better than his own, and he kept looking behind him.
They didn't seem to be here to save him, but rather like they were being chased by something.
Before Huai Yi could ask carefully, Jiang Cheng immediately led them to walk quickly in another direction.
After running a long distance, seeing Jiang Cheng slow down, before Huai Yi had time to open his mouth, he heard Jiang Cheng interrupt him and ask, "Tell me about your side first, why did you hang up the phone?"
