Mu Zihan sat on the sofa with his head lowered down. Occasionally he would glance at Ai Lin who was sitting on her bed. It had been almost 30 minutes since he was neglected by her.
Ai Lin occupied herself with 1001 thoughts. Her knitted brows illustrated how serious the things in her mind. However it was misunderstood by certain someone.
" Say, you really think the attackers know my current address? They will come to assassinate me again?" After almost an eternity (to certain someone), finally Ai Lin opened her mouth to ask.
" Haa?" Mu Zihan who was in his own world, imagining he was punished by 1000 hits, was startled. He never thought Ai Lin would start talking to him again by asking those questions. But he relieved she had stopped sulking.
" Actually that isn't what I'm thinking but it really happens now. After I sent people to erase all your traces on that day, to take more precaution I ask someone to monitor your house. Eventually my guess is right. There's a few people who keeps loitering around your house."
Upon listening to that, Ai Lin deepened her knitted brows.
After waking up from her coma, Mu Zihan offered her a helping hand. He volunteered to investigate her attacking case because she could not find out the attackers purposes. On top of that, she still didn't know who were the attackers. Afraid she might be attacked again, Mu Zihan instructed his subordinates to erase all her traces on that day.
" Then, do you find out who are those people?" Ai Lin was really curious. Who were that damn bastards and why they tried to kill her? She didn't think she had any animosity with anyone nor had made any enemy before.
With helpless look, Mu Zihan shook his head. " Although we already have some clues in our hand, but the perpetrator knows how to hide himself well. All the leads were blocked. It seems your enemy is not an ordinary person."
Ai Lin was in a trance again. Not an ordinary person? Who was it?
As a freelancer, she would do any job given and the most dangerous one she had done to make a living was being a private investigator. However before accepting any job, she would make sure the job would not expose her to dangers. That was her promise to Lu Qi Feng before he agreed to her be a private investigator. Indeed, most of her clients who hired her to be their private investigator were rich, but not to the point to be an extraordinary. Even people in her circle were also ordinary one.
" Don't think too much about it. I'll settle everything for you." Looking at her complex face, Mu Zihan knew what she was thinking. He walked towards her and sat beside her.
Ai Lin lifted her head and stared at his clear dark eyes. Although they had not knew each other for long, but she knew she could trust his words. He would never sully a promise he made. But how could she be at ease?
" Believe me. I will protect you so no one can hurt you again." He caressed her face with determine look. He made a vow to himself. From this moment, I, Mu Zihan won't allow anyone to hurt her ever again. Whoever dare to do that will have to face him first.
" En," Ai Lin nodded her head.
" But how about my work? I still need to go back to A City or else my clients will complain and I won't be able to earn a penny. Not only that, I still haven't received full payment from my last job. It'll be my loss then. But I don't have other place to stay if I don't go back to my house. What should I do?" She was truly stress over this matter. If not going back to her house, where else could she go? It's not like she was a rich woman and have many houses. Thinking about this, she felt like crying.
Mu Zihan delighted upon hearing that but he tried hard to hide his smile. He pretended to be worry and threw a suggestion. " How about your friends? Maybe you can stay over at their place temporarily and I'll send someone there to protect you."
She went silent. Friends? Of course she had friends, many of them. But she knew well they only willing to be her friends on the surface only. Being an orphan, she already used to received contempt and disgust looks from others including from her so-called-friends.
As for true friends, it could be counted with one hand only and most of them were not staying at A City except him, Lu Qi Feng. But still, how could she go and find him? Although she used to stay at his house for days but that was when he was a single man. Now, he was an engaged man and she didn't have heart to disturb his honeymoon period with her fiancée.
Moreover, it would not be easy for her. Although she had decided to end her crush on him but how her heart could be calm when seeing him with other woman? Even thinking about it, it pained her a lot.
With a wry smile, Ai Lin shook her head weakly. " I don't want to trouble them with my problem."
