Chapter 17

So-called small arrays are actually some small mechanisms and some feng shui formations.

For example, placing a few silver needles at the door spring, when someone enters the room by non-normal means, the silver needles will fly out to pierce the unwelcome guest. For instance, Chu Nan can use the feng shui layout to place some potted plants or mirrors at the entrance to change the room's feng shui, thus reversing the qi flow in the room, which can have a certain influence on the people staying in the room. However, the second method is difficult to operate and has significant side effects; a slight mistake could cause it to backfire on innocent people. Therefore, Chu Nan decided to use the first method!

Once he made up his mind, he would act immediately—this was Chu Nan's consistent style.

At this moment, he sprang up from the bed, then lightly slung the cloth bag over his shoulder, and slowly walked out of the room.

Then, he walked to the adjacent room 2107, knocked on the door, and pressed the doorbell. After waiting for about a minute, no one came to open the door, so he basically concluded that no one was inside. It made sense; today was Wednesday, the busiest day for office workers. Li Mengru was out, and her close friend was not a student, so she must have been busy.

Therefore, he turned back to his own room, and without a second thought, he went to the balcony. After roughly measuring the distance between his balcony and the neighboring one, he leaped over to the adjacent balcony as lightly as a hare.

However, unexpectedly...

With a "clunk," Chu Nan almost knocked over a flower pot on the balcony. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and caught it steadily.

"Phew..." Chu Nan wiped the sweat from his forehead.

At this moment, in the bathroom of the room, Xia Yuechan was soaking in a bathtub full of bubbles, wearing headphones, her beautiful eyes closed, listening to music quietly. She was extremely tired recently and didn't hear any noise outside the bathroom at all.

"Clunk." "Clunk."

Chu Nan walked quietly in Li Mengru's home, or more accurately, in Xia Yuechan's home.

He was very careful, even being cautious that not a single hair of his would fall to the ground.

"Hmm, the feng shui layout here is quite good..." Chu Nan squinted his eyes, examining the layout of the residence, thinking that Li Mengru's close friend must have specifically consulted a feng shui expert.

"However... the position of the bathroom door is not very scientific." Chu Nan slowly walked to the bathroom door and pondered for a while.

"Ugh, forget it, I'm not here to check the feng shui, why am I thinking about these things? I need to quickly set up some mechanisms and leave!" Chu Nan was speechless at his own carelessness. Thinking this, he walked to the door, slowly opened it, and placed a few needles he had prepared in advance at the door spring. Then, he installed the key trigger point at the door lock to avoid injuring those who opened the door with a key. The mechanism would only be triggered if the door was opened by unconventional means.

Moreover, Chu Nan did not apply any powerful poison to the needles; it was still his effective paralyzing liquid, which did not cause any substantial harm to human health. Therefore, even if it injured an innocent person, he could easily deal with it.

His actions were swift and decisive, and the entire process took less than five minutes.

"Clap, clap."

Clapping his hands, Chu Nan stood up, looked at his setup with satisfaction, and nodded to himself, saying, "Done!"

However...

What he didn't expect was...

Behind him... a voice, cold as ice, suddenly sounded!

"What did you finish?"

"Huh?!!"

Hearing this, Chu Nan was startled!

Someone?!

There was actually someone in the room?!

Damn! I miscalculated, I miscalculated!! Could it be Li Mengru's friend is at home? — But why didn't I hear any movement after knocking on the door for so long?!!

At this moment, he hadn't turned around, but a series of questions flashed through his mind. However, he was very clear that the cold voice from behind was not an illusion! In other words... his supposedly secret infiltration had been caught red-handed!

At this moment, Chu Nan cursed himself for his lack of experience again!

"Whoever this woman is, I absolutely cannot let her see my face!"

Thinking this, Chu Nan didn't hesitate and went to open the door to escape!

But he didn't expect... the cold voice behind him said very calmly, "Don't leave through the front door. There are surveillance cameras in the hallway, and your face will be recorded. I only need to press a button to have the security personnel of this apartment complex close the elevator and seal off the hallway, and you won't be able to leave. Unless you jump from the balcony."

As she spoke, the owner of the voice turned to look at the balcony.

"Hmm? The balcony door is open. — Did you sneak in from the balcony?" The voice was still cold and calm, but there was a hint of surprise in her tone. Clearly, she found it hard to understand how this obviously slender figure managed to sneak in from the 21st floor.

"..."

Chu Nan was silent for a moment.

The woman was right; he dared not leave through the front door, as that would expose his face. He had appeared in the hallway before and was definitely recorded on the surveillance cameras. If he went out now, even if he covered his face, a comparison would reveal the inconsistency!

But... do I really have to turn around and face this woman...

Wouldn't that expose me?

While Chu Nan was hesitating, the woman behind him said coldly, "Forget it, I won't make things difficult for you, a mere assistant. Go back and tell Zhou Yunqiang not to secretly use underhanded methods anymore. I, Xia Yuechan, have said it: I will not compromise. There are still three years until the wedding. Please ask him to abide by this three-year agreement and give me a completely private space. During these three years, I am nominally his fiancée, but in reality, there is no substantial relationship between us. Please don't harass me anymore and give me these last three years of freedom. Otherwise, I, Xia Yuechan, would rather die than marry him!"

"..."

This... wow... I seem to have accidentally discovered something?

However, upon hearing this, Chu Nan's heart suddenly skipped a beat... This woman seemed very smart, but as the saying goes... being too smart can lead to one's downfall! This also provided Chu Nan with an excellent excuse to escape at this inopportune moment!
