Chapter 1010: They Met Again
Two hours later, Han Xue arrived at Lishan Road that was located in the north of the city and parked her car at a parking lot by the road.
It was 10 AM so the weather was very warm and the temperature was 30 degrees Celsius.
She took out her sun umbrella from the car. It was a green umbrella and she used her umbrella to shade her from the sun as she walked 200 meters to arrive at a residential area.
This was a newly built row of flats so most owners had only just gotten their keys or had yet to get their keys. Thus, the occupancy rate was very low and it was not even at 10%.
The only people she saw after she entered the residential area were two young people and a middle-aged couple with their child. She arrived at Block 1-15 and went up to the 23rd floor of the building. She was the only person in the lift because there were so few occupants.
She arrived at unit 2302 and pressed the doorbell.
The door opened 10 seconds later.
Ye Yi stood at the doorway with an arm resting on the door frame and his other hand in his pockets which added to his charm.
Han Xue covered her nose and coughed softly at the strong scent of cigarettes that came rus.h.i.+ng at her.
“Why is there such a strong cigarette smell?” she asked with a frown. She hated the smell of cigarettes and was thus extremely sensitive to its scent.
A small smile danced on Ye Yi’s lips as he invited her into the apartment.
“Come in!”
Han Xue entered the room and saw that it was an ordinary three-bedroom apartment. It wasn’t very s.p.a.cious and it was only 120 square meters.
There were some betel nuts, cigarettes, and wine bottles laid out on the table in the living room.
It seemed as though someone had been drinking and smoking here earlier which explained why the scent of cigarettes was so strong.
“Is there anyone else here?” she asked.
She looked around the house and noticed that Ye Yi seemed to be alone in this apartment.
Ye Yi rubbed at the white jadeite ring on his left finger and continued smiling. His smile seemed a little sinister which made her feel very uneasy.
“I’ve sent them off on an errand,” he said.
He pointed at the sofa and gestured for her to sit.
Han Xue sat beside Ye Yi and there was a gap of 50 centimeters between them.
Although they had already been intimate with each other, Han Xue had always been terrified of Ye Yi, especially after she found out that he had murdered w.a.n.g Lan.
Ye Yi opened a bottle of red wine and poured a gla.s.s for Han Xue before he poured himself a gla.s.s as well.
He pa.s.sed the gla.s.s of wine to Han Xue but Han Xue shook her hands and said, “I can’t drink because I told Ye Hao that I’m out to look for a job.”
She drank frequently but she couldn’t afford to drink today for fear of her secret being discovered.
“Oh…” Ye Yi pursed his lips and smiled as he placed the wine gla.s.s back on the table. Then, he poured her a cup of tea and said, “Have some tea then. You should be able to drink this.”
Han Xue accepted the cup of tea and took several sips before she turned to him and said, “The police haven’t contacted me for a while. I guess they must have given up.”
She had been living in terror every day because she was afraid that their deeds would be discovered or that the police would be able to find clues pointing to them.
Ye Yi smiled coldly as he placed a hand on Han Xue’s shoulder and patted her shoulder.
“Don’t worry, as I’ve said before, they won’t be able to find anything,” he said.
Ye Yi was confident that he wouldn’t be discovered because this was not the first time he had murdered someone. He had become better at it over time.
“Oh yes, has his att.i.tude toward you improved?” Ye Yi asked. He hadn’t been in touch with her for some time but he knew that she had acted on his suggestion and pretended to commit suicide. He also knew that she had successfully tricked everyone at the Ye family as well as her own relatives and friends.
