Shen ChiYan's sudden outburst caught Song QiNian off guard.
What boyfriend?
"What? You dare to find a boyfriend during the cooling-off period but dare not admit it!?"
Song QiNian's expression shifted. She didn't know why Shen ChiYan was here. She was grateful, but that didn't mean he could wrongly accuse her with such nonsense!
She stood up and glared at Shen ChiYan furiously, gesturing with her hands, "Your hand is bandaged, you can leave now."
Song QiNian walked to the door, opened it, and looked at Shen ChiYan, her meaning clear: he should get lost.
When had the always arrogant Fifth Master Shen ever suffered such humiliation? His face was as terrifying as it could be.
But he showed no intention of leaving. Instead, he sneered, "Embarrassed by guilt?"
Song QiNian gestured angrily, "I don't know what you're talking about, leave!"
"Don't know what I'm talking about? If you don't have a boyfriend, how can there be a man's clothes and shoes in your house? Song QiNian, I really underestimated you!"
Only then did Song QiNian realize Shen ChiYan had misunderstood.
She really couldn't figure out this person. He was the one eager for a divorce, and even if she found a boyfriend, it would have nothing to do with him. Why was he acting as if she had cheated?
"It's none of your business!"
"Song QiNian!!!"
The anger that had just subsided in Shen ChiYan flared up again. "Don't forget we're in the cooling-off period. As long as we're not officially divorced, you're still my wife. If you dare to see another man at this time, I won't touch you, but I'll kill him!"
He strode towards Song QiNian, trapping her between the wall and himself. "Speak! Who is that dog man?"
Looking at the unreasonable Shen ChiYan in front of her, Song QiNian was truly tired.
Knowing that confronting Shen ChiYan wouldn't do her any good, she gestured to explain, "There's no dog man. These clothes are here because Guan MingXu was afraid it wouldn't be safe for a girl to live alone."
Hearing this, Shen ChiYan's expression turned even uglier. "Guan MingXu came to see you? And you let him in? Don't you know Guan MingXu has designs on you? Alone in the house, what did you do?"
Song QiNian: "..."
Weren't the clothes and shoes the main point? Why did it deviate to this?
Song QiNian pushed Shen ChiYan away. "Guan MingXu is just my friend, Mr. Shen. It's late, I want to sleep, please leave."
Shen ChiYan looked around the house and the bathroom, seeing no signs of male habitation, and then snorted, "You think I want to stay here?"
With that, Shen ChiYan called Gao KunLun.
"Send up a set of clothes and a pair of shoes."
Gao KunLun was efficient. Within half an hour, he had delivered the clothes and shoes to Song QiNian's home.
Shen ChiYan took off his suit and shoes in front of Song QiNian, then threw Guan MingXu's clothes and shoes to Gao KunLun. "Take them down and throw them away."
Gao KunLun greeted Song QiNian with a smile and took the clothes away.
After Shen ChiYan was dressed, he said to Song QiNian coldly, "Before we are completely divorced, I don't want to see any other man's belongings in the house you live in."
Shen ChiYan left. Song QiNian looked at the clothes and shoes he had left behind, her heart filled with complex emotions.
But the next second, she rushed into the bedroom, locked the door, and hid under the covers.
That ghost had been scared away by Shen ChiYan; it probably wouldn't come back, right?
In the car, Shen ChiYan's face was grim. "Where is he? Did you catch up?"
Gao KunLun: "The security guards were watching the entrance, no one came out, and the surveillance didn't capture anyone. I guess it was likely a resident of Qili Xiangdu."
"Investigate! Check house by house. I want to see what this woman, who was pretending to be a ghost in the middle of the night to find Song QiNian, is up to!"
"Yes."
As soon as dawn broke, Gao KunLun had already brought the person before Shen ChiYan.
"Mr. Shen, the person from last night is him!"
Shen ChiYan looked at the man before him, his handsome face, gaunt from lack of sleep, looking even uglier. "How is it a man?"
"It's him! A red dress and a wig were found in his home."
Shen ChiYan stared down at the man, who, terrified by Shen ChiYan's powerful aura, immediately knelt down. "Mr. Shen, spare me, I won't dare to do it again!"
"Why did you pretend to be a ghost in the middle of the night to scare Song QiNian?"
The man trembled incessantly. "I just thought she was pretty and wanted to make friends with her. But she wouldn't talk to me and kept avoiding me, so I got angry and sought revenge. Mr. Shen, I really just wanted to scare her, I had no other sordid thoughts!"
"No sordid thoughts? You sought revenge because she ignored you, and you call that not sordid? You should be glad she's fine, otherwise, dying ten thousand times would be too good for you!"
"I was wrong, I'll never dare again!"
"Gao KunLun, get him out of here. From now on, I don't want to see him in Jinghua City!"
"Yes!"
Shen ChiYan rubbed his temples, his mood extremely foul.
Meanwhile, after Shen ChiYan left, Song QiNian fell asleep. She hadn't been resting well these past few days and had finally slept soundly.
As she took the elevator downstairs in the morning, she overheard the elderly ladies downstairs discussing what had happened last night.
"I heard that female ghost was a man's prank. Fortunately, he's already out of the complex."
"Yes, they say he took a liking to a girl on the twentieth floor, and when she ignored him, he sought revenge. There are all sorts of people these days. Girls living alone must be careful."
"We're lucky in disguise. The security here is said to be hired from a professional bodyguard company. Those young men are all handsome and dashing. We can feast our eyes too."
So it wasn't a ghost, but someone pretending to be one!
As Song QiNian left the complex, she saw that the security guards had indeed been replaced. The previous guards were older uncles, but the current ones were well-built youths who looked like they could fight.
Song QiNian woke up at ten o'clock in the morning. Since she was already late, she decided to take half a day off and took a taxi to the hospital.
She handed the doctor the hair of Mu YuXin and the cigarette butt of Lin XingAn, asking the doctor to perform a paternity test.
The results wouldn't be out so soon, so Song QiNian had to return to work to wait for the news.
Not long after she left the doctor's office, Shen QiWen walked into the same office.
Shen QiWen badgered and bribed the doctor, and soon extracted information.
"DNA test? Are you sure?"
"Sure."
"Did she say whose hair it was?"
"No."
Shen QiWen narrowed his eyes. Who was the owner of this hair?
Why would Song QiNian check the DNA of Lin XingAn and the owner of this hair for no reason?
