Chapter 426: Being manipulated (two chapters in one)

The light from the street lights outside the window shines into the dark room, making a small corner of the room bright.

In the quiet living room, suddenly, a figure appeared out of thin air.

Lin Li, who left the mysterious island, returned home with a bag of freshly picked strawberries.

"Crack."

Turn on the lights at home, and the dark room immediately becomes bright.

I glanced at the clock hanging on the wall behind the TV and found that the time was almost half past nine.

Due to poisoning, he was forced to leave the dock of the Red Blood Gang and hid on a mysterious island. He then fell into a coma and slept for almost an hour.

After checking the time, Lin Li muttered to himself, "It turns out that it was only an hour after I fell asleep. I thought I slept for a very long time!"

After saying that, he walked to the kitchen carrying a bag of fresh strawberries that he had just picked. He wanted to wash the strawberries.

Outside Ping'an Garden Community, under the street tree across the street, Zhu Daqi was leaning on the big tree, puffing on a cigarette with a cigarette in his mouth, looking a little sleepy.

It has been more than ten hours since he left home early this morning. During this period, he did not take a break and felt a little tired.

"call……"

He took a deep breath, and then two streaks of white smoke came out of his nostrils. The cigarette in his mouth was almost finished, so he took it off and threw it into the trash can next to him.

"Made, this cigarette is too infrequent. I smoked a pack in just a few times."

Zhu Daqi took out a cigarette from his pocket and found that there was only the last cigarette left in the pack. He cursed and lit the last cigarette, then rubbed the empty cigarette and threw it away.

"Eh?!!!"

Suddenly, Zhu Daqi, who had just lit a cigarette for himself, found that the target he was staring at was the light at home.

"I'm finally home. You really made me wait!"

When Zhu Daqi noticed that the lights in Lin Li's house were on, he looked surprised. Then he quickly took out his mobile phone from his pocket and called Chen Xiaoyan.

"Hello." The call was quickly connected, and a mature voice came from the other side.

"Sister Yan, the lights at home of the man named Lin Li are on. He should have gone home," Zhu Daqihui reported.

Chen Xiaoyan, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, turned her head and looked at the room where Wang Hao was after hearing what Zhu Daqi reported.

Because Wang Hao was attacked by a strange beast and suffered serious injuries. Not only did he lose his fighting ability, but his limbs were also temporarily disabled. Therefore, even if he knew that Lin Li was back home, there was nothing he could do.

"Okay, I understand, just keep staring at him and don't alert him.

Wang Hao's body will still need a few days to fully recover. During the period when he is recuperating, you should find out the target's work and rest schedule, and then we will work together to take him down." Chen Xiaoyan explained.

Zhu Daqi did not know the special identities of Chen Xiaoyan and Wang Hao, nor did he know that Wang Hao had used his interpersonal relationships to ask his friends to send him special medicines that could help his body recover quickly.

Therefore, after hearing what Chen Xiaoyan said, he frowned.

In his opinion, Wang Hao suffered such a serious injury and did not go to the hospital for treatment. It would take at least half a month to recover with just some medicines bought from the drugstore to treat the injury.

Just thinking about the current operation of waking up early and working late every day to monitor the target, and it will continue for half a month, makes people feel very crazy.

"Sister Yan, Brother Wang's injuries will take a long time to heal without going to the hospital for treatment!

Now I drive to monitor the target every day. After a long time, it is easy for flaws to be exposed and then be discovered by the other party..." Zhu Daqi, who was a little tired of the surveillance mission, said euphemistically.

Chen Xiaoyan naturally heard the implication of Zhu Daqi's words, and she immediately said in a gentle tone.

"Zhu Daqi, it doesn't take that long for Wang Hao to recover from his injury. He can return to his best condition in five days at most, so you just have to hold on for the next five days.

Didn’t you mention before that you wanted to have dinner with me? After this incident is over, let’s watch a movie together after we finish the meal!”

Chen Xiaoyan's promise made Zhu Daqi's eyes light up. The tiredness he had accumulated over the past few days from going out early and returning late at night was wiped away at this moment. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and replied seriously.

"Sister Yan, don't worry! Whether it is to monitor the target for five days, ten days, or one month, I will stick to it to the end."

When Chen Xiaoyan saw that she had just written a bad check, Zhu Daqi's attitude immediately changed 180 degrees, and she couldn't help but reveal a smile full of disdain on her face.

This kind of operation of playing with a man in the palm of her hand is not difficult for her at all.

After giving the passive Zhu Daqi a shot of chicken blood, there was nothing more to talk about, so Chen Xiaoyan hung up the phone.

At this time, a figure slowly walked out of the guest room.

When Chen Xiaoyan heard the noise, she turned around and saw Wang Hao, who was very weak, coming out of the room. She quickly got up and walked over, helping him to sit on the sofa in the living room.

"Wang Hao, if you don't stay in the room, lie down and recuperate, what are you doing out here?" Chen Xiaoyan picked up the kettle on the coffee table, poured a glass of water for him, and asked.

Wang Hao took the water glass, took a sip, and said to Chen Xiaoyan, "I have been lying in the room for a long time, and I want to come out and move around. I just heard you talking to Zhu Daqi on the phone. What did he say?"

"He just told me on the phone that the lights in the house of the man named Lin Li were on." Xiaohong recounted what Zhu Daqi reported.

"It's a pity that I was injured, otherwise, I would have set off to his home right now." Wang Hao said somewhat depressed.

"Do you think we can really get clues about Liu Menglong's murder from him?" Xiaohong poured herself a glass of water, put down the kettle, and said hesitantly.

"After all, Liu Menglong was killed to deal with him. Now we can only use him as the entry point to launch the investigation." Wang Hao said with a frown.

"Yes." Chen Xiaoyan nodded, then she took her mobile phone, opened the takeout ordering software, and said to Wang Hao, "I'm a little hungry. I'm going to order some takeout. Do you want to eat some together?"

Because of his injury and limited mobility, Wang Hao didn't even take a few bites of the previous dinner.

Now that he was feeling much better, Wang Hao, who was hungry and growling, naturally wanted to have a big meal, and then the two of them ordered a bunch of takeaways.

…………

"Mom, I went back to my room to go to bed." Zhou Tongtong looked at the time and found that it was almost ten o'clock. She had to get up early to go to school tomorrow, so she went back to her room to go to bed very consciously.

When Xia Qing saw her daughter going back to the bedroom to sleep, she stood up and walked to the kitchen. After a while, she left the house with a pot of carrot stew and mutton sealed in plastic wrap.

Lin Li was eating strawberries in the living room while watching the nightly news that reported on exotic beast hunters.

"Ding dong."

The doorbell rang suddenly. Lin Li got up and walked to the entrance. After opening the door, he found that it was his next door neighbor, and he was holding a pot of carrot stew in his hand.

"Lin Li, are you back? I cooked carrot stewed mutton for dinner. I originally wanted to bring it to you while it was still hot, but I didn't expect you weren't at home at that time..." Xia Qing looked at the black tank top and beach shorts.

Lin Li said with a smile.

"I went out to do some things before, and I just came back not long ago..." Lin Li explained with a smile.

"Try this pot of carrot stewed with mutton..." Xia Qing handed over the small pot in her hand. Lin Li thanked him and took the pot of carrot stewed with mutton.

Then, when he saw Xia Qing turning around to go home, he called out to the other party, "Wait a moment."

"Huh?" Xia Qing looked at Lin Li doubtfully, and left without any explanation.

After a while, Lin Li left and returned, holding an empty small pot in one hand and half a bag of strawberries in the other.

"I poured out the mutton and returned the basin to you... I remember Tongtong told me before that the fruit she likes to eat is strawberry. I just bought this strawberry today. It tastes quite good. You can take it back and wash it.

Wash it and feed it to her."

Xia Qing took the empty pot and half bag of strawberries from Lin Li, said thank you with a smile, and left.

"boom."

After closing the door, Lin Li returned to the kitchen and looked at the carrot stewed mutton that Xia Qing had just delivered on the stove. He thought for a while, turned on the microwave, put the carrot stewed mutton in the microwave to heat, and prepared to eat them all as a midnight snack.

Already.

…………

In the room with pink as the main color, there are many cute plush toys placed on the cabinet in the corner.

Zhou Tongtong was lying on the bed, sleeping quietly, with a stuffed giant panda beside her pillow.

This is the little companion she picked out from her pile of stuffed animals before going to bed to sleep with her.

Outside the window, the quiet night sky is dotted with stars, and the bright moon slowly changes its position in the sky as time goes by.

At this moment, in Zhou Tongtong's room, the concentration of free spiritual energy in the air was much higher than at any other time.

If any cultivator uses his mental perception to explore the situation in Zhou Tongtong's room, he will definitely find it.

The strength of the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from this little girl sleeping soundly on the bed is infinitely close to the limit of breakthrough, and she may break through to the initial stage of the first stage at any time.

Once a breakthrough is achieved, Zhou Tongtong, who has just entered the first grade of primary school and is only six years old this year, will become the youngest practitioner in history.

Breathing in and out, the spiritual energy floating in the air was absorbed into the sleeping Zhou Tongtong's body in an orderly manner. Suddenly, a cluster of pale golden light like a flame appeared between her eyebrows.

"Xiao Bai, Xiao Hei, be careful. You are running so fast. What if you fall?"

Zhou Tongtong muttered with her small mouth, making a slight murmur.

At this moment, she was in her dream, watching the little white cat and the little black cat running on the high fence.

Under the cover of night, two little wild cats were so courageous that they chased and fought on the narrow wall without fear of falling.

Suddenly, the two little wild cats that were chasing each other stopped.

"Meow...???" The two little wild cats had doubts on their faces. They turned their heads quickly and looked around, as if they were looking for something.

"Meow...Xiao Bai, I seem to hear Zhou Tongtong's voice, do you hear it?" The little black cat did not see the little girl and said to his little friend.

The little white cat had the same feeling as the little black cat, but after thinking about it, it felt that it was impossible for the little girl to go out to find them at this time.
