In the dead of night, Tang Si’s phone call was like a lifeline.
The man’s words were abruptly interrupted.
After a brief silence of two seconds on the other end of the phone—
Song Yi heard a man’s soft chuckle coming from over there, a sound emanating from his chest, resonating through the receiver, particularly captivating.
"Lying stark naked on the coroner’s autopsy table. That’s what I an."
"Miss Song, what are you thinking?"
This was not a good ti for flirting. Song Yi took a deep breath: "Why say such a thing?"
She already realized sothing was terribly wrong at ho.
She was also very clear that Tang Si knew what was going on, so she was eager to know the answer.
Thinking carefully, no wonder he let her co back, maybe all of this was part of his plan.
"You don’t need to know this answer now." He said over the phone, his voice particularly low and rich: "I called to tell you, do what you should do, go to sleep if you should sleep. I’m watching over you, nothing will happen."
Maybe it was because of the mobile phone, or maybe because he was up in the middle of the night, Song Yi felt his voice was a bit hoarse.
"Why should I—" trust you?
"You can only trust , you have no choice. Unless you want to be on the autopsy table, watched by n."
Before Song Yi could finish her words, she was directly interrupted by the man.
She was at a loss, suddenly feeling terrified. Within just a few days of interaction, had this man already figured out her character and thoughts?
It seed like he could guess everything she was thinking about.
Song Yi’s red lips moved slightly, her bright eyes looking at the living room opposite, outside it was pitch black, a deep rainy night, with a torrential downpour.
She didn’t know where he was, in what position.
"You wouldn’t, didn’t you say you called to save ?" she said.
"Song Yi, I can tell you, there are two people’s DNA in Wu Wang’s house, one is yours, the other is your best friend Mu Wanxue’s, and Mu Wanxue is now a suspect."
Tang Si’s tone was heavy, his voice even: "If you make any moves that alert them tonight, I will arrest you as an accomplice."
At this, Song Yi’s mind went briefly blank. At this mont, she was like a driftwood on water, ethereal with no support.
She couldn’t choose whom to truly believe.
On one side was her best friend, on the other side were the police.
"Xiao Yi, not coming to sleep?" Mu Wanxue’s voice ca from the room at this mont.
Instantly, Song Yi’s breathing fell out of rhythm.
A string was clearly pulling at her heartbeat, tightly, on the verge of snapping at any mont. She was frozen in place.
She had never felt anything terrifying in her own ho before.
If Tang Si had fixed his gaze on soone and was still watching at night, then the likelihood was high—
"Sleep." Tang Si’s voice ca again, he slowly said: "Trust , I can protect you."
His low voice ca from the phone, slowly penetrating her eardrum. His tone was on a level plane but clear and calm, steady and forceful, giving a strong sense of conviction.
The way he spoke carried so inexplicable power, making one want to obey unconditionally.
This was perhaps his charm, thought Song Yi.
In an instant, a certain sense of security spread layer by layer, flooding her entire body, shrouded by this feeling.
"Okay."
She knew this protection was based on the police’s duty to the people, based on his professional responsibility.
After hanging up the phone, Mu Wanxue asked: "Who was that?"
Song Yi gently smiled, climbed onto the bed, covered herself with the blanket, and placed her phone under the pillow.
Then she softly said: "I lost my phone a few days ago, been traveling and couldn’t find a good phone, also didn’t contact the company, had a lot going on."
Mu Wanxue lightly nodded, suddenly she called out: "Xiao Yi."
"Hmm?"
At this ti Mu Wanxue also lay down, lightly grabbing Song Yi’s slender wrist: "Does tonight count as sleeping with you, hmm?"
Mu Wanxue asked half-jokingly.
