“Xin’er, you fell off again?” Ji Ting looked at Lin Xin’er who had fallen from the sofa with a flash of inexplicable light in her eyes. “How many times is this?”

Lin Xin’er sat up from the floor and rubbed her back.

She had that dream again.

Actually, it’s not a very accurate description to call it a dream, because it was only a flashes of few sporadic pictures from beginning to end.

A bottomless abyss, a rough puppet doll, and a vague figure standing on top of a cliff.

Lin Xin’ers eyes were still a little hazy, apparently not fully awake yet, “How can I fall asleep on the sofa?”

“You were on it when I came out of the room.” Ji Ting replied while picking up her things.

Lin Xin’er sat blankly on the floor and looked at the busy Ji Ting, “Are you going out?”

“Well, I’m going to pick-up my dry-cleaned clothes.”

Lin Xin’ers face flashed with doubt, “You haven’t taken it back yet?”

Ji Ting finally turned around and looked at Lin Xin’er with a smile. “Xin’er, are you confused due to sleep? I should pick it today.”

Lin Xin’er frowned slightly and didn’t speak.

“Don’t just sit around. Don’t you have an appointment this afternoon? You won’t be able to go if you tarry.”

Appointment? Lin Xin’er tilted her head and thought, yes, she still has ‘work’ in the afternoon.

Climbing up from the ground, Lin Xin’er also began to prepare to go out.

“Then I’ll go first.” Ji Ting said these words and walked out of the door quickly.

Ji Ting is Lin Xin’ers tenant. Lin Xin’er originally lived in this two-bedroom apartment alone, but the house of more than 9 square meters with only her inside always made her feel a little empty.

So she tossed out the old pile of accumulated debris and posted a rental notice online.

Lin Xin’er has simple requirements for her tenants, only three.

Single woman, have a legitimate and stable job, and have no bad habits.

Ji Ting came to the door very soon. Due to Lin Xin’ers nature of ‘work’, she was originally not suitable for living with others, but Ji Ting is undoubtedly an ideal tenant for her.

Ji Ting, who graduated from a domestic key university, works in a research institute after finishing her doctorate degree. She rarely stays at home and would not ask about Lin Xin’ers affairs.

There is only one thing than Lin Xin’er has to care about.

The perfect tenant had only one requirement from the landlord – not to enter her room without permission.

Thinking of this, Lin Xin’er glanced at the closed door again.

People are like this, the more you are not allowed to do things, the easier it is to arouse your curiosity.

But curiosity is one thing, and Lin Xin’er still have some propriety.

So since Ji Ting moved in, she has never been in that side room again.

Lin Xin’er once asked her what research she was doing while chatting, but Ji Ting just smiled mysteriously and gave her two words – state secret.

This girl is not studying nuclear weapons in secret, isn’t she?

Lin Xin’er shook her head, left her thoughts behind and then went out.

There’s one thing that Lin Xin’er has always been ignoring.

That is, why does a national elite like Ji Ting came out to rent?

*****

Xingyao Jewelry, VIP Reception room.

“Actually, I am getting married.”

Lin Xin’er whispered this and she bowed her head with shame.

The woman sitting across her showed a standard professional smile and said to Lin Xin’er, “Congratulations to Miss Chen.”

Hearing this, Lin Xin’ers eyes darkened, “But my father doesn’t approve of my marriage. He thought my boyfriend’s career was not good enough.” Lin Xin’er said as she raised her head and looked expectantly at the opposite woman, “So Miss Zhang, you must choose a diamond ring that will impress my father in the name of my boyfriend.”

Miss Zhang, who has long been versed on human interaction, realized the situation instantly. She smiled at Lin Xin’er and said, “Don’t worry, I will definitely choose a diamond ring that is worthy of Miss Chen.”

Lin Xin’er assuredly nodded and said, “Thank you. Please contact me as soon as you have chosen.”

Miss Zhang nodded, took out her business card and handed it to Lin Xin’er, “This is my card. If Miss Chen have any concern, you can contact me at any time.”

Lin Xin’er looked down at it. Zhang Yue, Marketing Manager, Xinyao Jewelry.

Her mouth slightly hooked at the corner, but when she looked up, she showed a grateful expression. “Thank you so much, Miss Zhang.”

Leaving the VIP reception room, Lin Xin’er maintained a gentle smile like a refined young lady. She walked out of the door of Xingyao Jewelry and took a taxi.

“Fragrance café.”

Lin Xin’er sat down casually in the back seat, completely without the previous gentleness she earlier had.

The driver was instructed to drive the car to Fragrance café.

Lin Xin’er took out her mobile phone and dialed a number. With the tone of voice exactly the same as Zhang Yue just now, “Hello, Mr. Wang. This is Zhang Yue. I have contacted you before. Well, yes, I’m sorry to have kept you waiting. Okay, I will be right there.”

Hanging up the phone, Lin Xin’er looked at the mobile phone and smiled.

When she arrived at the café, it was already half past three in the afternoon. Lin Xin’er saw her target, Wang Wei, in an obscure corner.

Wang Wei is a young man wearing a black suit and a meticulous hairstyle.

Lin Xin’er sneered in her hearth. He looks normal, but actually is a beast in human clothing.

“Mr. Wang? I’m Zhang Yue.”

Lin Xin’er sat down on the sofa opposite him and handed the business card that Zhang Yue had given her just awhile ago.

Wang Wei took the card and looked at it for a while before nodding to Lin Xin’er.

Lin Xin’er said, “As I said before, if it wasn’t because I am in an urgent need of money, I would not have sold this ring to you at such a low price.”

But Wang Wei did not answer. Instead, he took a sip of coffee and asked, “I have a distant relative who also works for Xingyao Jewelry and happens to be from your marketing department. Her name is Li Qian, I don’t know how she is doing now?”

Lin Xin’ers eyes flashed quickly. She looked at Wang Wei and said, “Mr. Wang may have remembered wrongly. There is no Li Qian in our marketing department.”

Wang Wei smiled at Lin Xin’er, put down the coffee cup in his hand and said, “Maybe I remembered it wrong.”

Lin Xin’er also smiled at him. She keeps all the names of Xingyao Jewelry employees inside her head.

“I can accept your price, but I want to see the goods first.”

“No problem. I’ll get everything ready and will get back to you again.”

When Lin Xin’er left Fragrance café, it was just four o’clock. She went on a different route and took a taxi home.

The taxi stopped in front of an ordinary residential area. Arriving at the 21st floor where her house was located, she opened the door a little bit tiredly and entered inside. There was no one around, but Ji Ting’s dry-cleaned clothes were placed on the sofa. It seems that she has something else to do after she came back?

Lin Xin’er opened the refrigerator and found that there is only one can of beer left inside.

She stretched out her right hand and hesitated for only a moment before picking it up.

She walked into her bedroom and placed the phone on the table, in which has other mobile phones with different brands and models.

Sitting in front of the computer and drinking a cold beer, Lin Xin’er sighed comfortably.

After casting the net for so long, it was finally time for her to harvest.

Lin Xin’er is certainly not Zhang Yue, the mananger of the jewelry store, nor is she Miss Chen. She is not going to get married, and she does not even have a boyfriend.

Everything is just a hoax.

Lin Xin’er did not know who her real parents were. Her adoptive parents only told her that she was picked up on the road. The family went poor so she had to drop out from school, and then her adoptive parents disappeared overnight.

But Lin Xin’er didn’t blame them. After all, they are really not related. And they had already supported her for so many years.

She can’t continue to study and can only make money to support herself. What else can she do? This problem bothered Lin Xin’er for a day, and she found out that she was talented in some aspect, that is, deceiving people.

Therefore, when other children were studying mathematics, Lin Xin’er was studying the tricks of deception; when other children’s moral, intellectual and physical development was in full swing, Lin Xin’ers skills made rapid progress.

Although deceiving people is not a good thing, Lin Xin’er still has her morals.

This time, Wang Wei, the target, is also a liar, a scum who likes to cheat ignorant girls.

Lin Xin’er heard that he had been doing this for a long time and finally formulated this plan, ready to teach Wang Wei a lesson.

After turning on the computer, the junior high school class group kept flashing.

[Ah, Pei: First love, you haven’t woken up yet?]

[Cuihua: Can you be normal?]

[Ah, Pei: Last night you called someone sweetheart, and now you ask them to be normal. . . ]

[Cuihua: →_→ Xiaodai, you see, you have so many sick friends. Are you happy?]

[Xiaodai: Dr. Ye, seeking treatment. I just got shot by an arrow on the knee.]

[Ye Long: You give up treatment~]

[Ah, Pei: Dr. Ye is a dentist, he has no cure for the arrows in your knees. ╮(╯_╰)╭ ]

[Cuihua: (⊙ o ⊙) Ye Ye is a dentist?]

[Ye Long: No. Lao Lin is.]

[Ah, Pei: What about you? Andrology?]

[Ye Long: Gynecology.]

[Ah, Pei: 0.0 I often feel like a woman. When can you have a look?]

[Ye Long: Come for treatment when you are free. Don’t give up.]

Looking at these chat records, Lin Xin’er smiled helplessly. This group of people have graduated from university for over a year and they were even poorer that the other.

Lin Xin’er tapped her fingers on the keyboard.

[Lao Lin: I’m here. Who is looking for me?]

[Xiaodai: Reporting to Dr. Lin, there is a deep well ice over there, how to deal with it?]

[Lao Lin: Human destruction.]

[Xiaodai: Got it!]

[Ah, Pei: You can’t do this to me. I still have a baby in my stomach!]

[Ye Long: ………Drag it out for ten minutes!!!! ]

[Cuihua: Xin’er, what time do you go out to work every day?]

[Lao Lin: My work?]

[Cuihua: Do you still go to school?]

[Lao Lin: … No, it’s just that my work have no fixed time.]

In this circle of junior high school students, Lin Xin’ers identity is a doctor.

When she graduated from junior high school, she told everyone that she was going to a high school abroad. No one knew she was dropping out.

Over the years, she ‘completed’ high school and university with everyone and successfully became a dentist.

She has always played this role well, even in class reunions.

Closing the dialog box, Lin Xin’er drank the beer in her hand, then clicked on the romance novel she has been following recently.

Lin Xin’er never reads romance novels but she has been following this story, because this novel called <<All for Prosperity>> is too interesting.

This is not because of how interesting the plot is, but rather how everyday countless readers make complaints about it.

This has also become a required pattern for Lin Xin’er to relax everyday.

However, when she clicked into <<All for Prosperity>> today, she found that its status has changed to ‘completed’.

Lin Xin’er sucked at the corner of her mouth. She looked at the word count in the upper right corner of the screen and saw she has wrote more than 113,000 words! Is the author finally cannot take the complaints from fans anymore?!

This was a little hard for Lin Xin’er to accept. How could the author deprive her of the only joy in her life!

Thinking like this, Lin Xin’er clicked in as usual and patiently finished the last chapter.

Then Lin Xin’er could only ‘haha’.

Before the flame of love between the male and female lead was ignited, the female lead jumped off a cliff and killed herself under the evil machinations of the villainess?!

What the f*ck! Have you considered the feeling of the male lead? Is he just there to make soy sauce?

Lin Xin’er held back the anger in her heart and was ready to talk to the author about life.

However, no matter how she slides the mouse, the screen was not responding. After that, the computer simply goes blank.

A glare of white light dazzled Lin Xin’er and she subconsciously closed her eyes.

When Lin Xin’er opened her eyes again, she is standing in front of a fierce looking strange man.

This is not the most frightening. The most frightening thing is that the man is still holding a dagger in his hand, and that the tip of the dagger is buried in her body.

Lin Xin’er looked down at the dagger that had sank into her abdomen and the blood dripping from the wound.

Lin Xin’er finally couldn’t restrain the emotion that has welled up on her throat, and cried out in horror.

“Help!!!!!!!!!! Someone’s trying to kill me!!!!!!!!”
