Chapter 411 Si Chen'S Vigilance
Of course, things were just as I'd guessed.
There was a secret between Chi Xiaocheng and Si Chen that they were hiding!
If this were the Su Tao from before, the straight Su Tao, she wouldn't overthink it. She would just assume Si Chen really had something to discuss with Chi Xiaocheng.
But how sensitive was she now?
As early as when Si Chen arrived in his car, Su Tao had noticed it: the moment he saw Xiaocheng, his eyes lit up, and then he started making all sorts of signals.
Clearly, he still harbored special feelings for Xiaocheng!
Deliberately lagging behind her just now was just an excuse to ask Xiaocheng out.
And then…
Su Tao didn't dare to think further, because she knew that the naive Xiaocheng was no match for Si Chen, that schemer.
It could only be said that Si Chen completely ignored her warning from last time.
Thinking of this, Su Tao deliberately picked up her newly bought clothes, shook them vigorously a few times, and then turned to walk toward the door. "Then I'll call you after I shower, okay? You can take this time to put the new clothes outside the window to air them out and get rid of the smell."
Chi Xiaocheng nodded lightly. "I know, Tao Tao is really something. You don't want to leave me even for a little while~"
Although she was very happy too.
Chi Xiaocheng picked up the newly bought pajamas and casual clothes, turned, and walked toward the small balcony attached to the room.
But the moment Su Tao walked out of the room, Chi Xiaocheng immediately threw the clothes down and stealthily came to the door.
She pressed her ear to the re-closed door, listening carefully to Su Tao's footsteps fading away.
Then, the sound of the exhaust fan in the adjacent bathroom started up, quickly followed by the sound of water from the shower.
At this, she felt relieved. "Looks like Tao Tao is already showering."
After haphazardly draping the clothes on the clothes rack on the balcony, Chi Xiaocheng quickly slipped out of the room and headed downstairs.
But as she went downstairs, the previously closed bathroom door quietly opened again.
Su Tao had only made a little noise, and she hadn't even taken off the hair tie holding her high ponytail.
She was even more convinced of her earlier thoughts.
"Si Chen must have said something to coax Xiaocheng, that's why Xiaocheng is so eager to go find him!"
Xiaocheng, ah, Xiaocheng, you must not be deceived by that bad man, Si Chen!
Su Tao tiptoed after her, and when she saw Chi Xiaocheng walk into Si Chen's room, she immediately came to the door.
She held her breath, ready to burst in at any moment.
And after Chi Xiaocheng entered the door, Si Chen's first question was, "Does Su Tao know you came here?"
Chi Xiaocheng shook her head. "No, she went to take a shower. It'll be at least half an hour, right? You kept giving me signals earlier. What did you want to say?"
Si Chen first poured Chi Xiaocheng a glass of water, then took a deep breath. "Actually… it's a guess of mine. It's a bit mystical, but if it's you, I think you should be able to talk to me about it."
"Mm-hmm?"
Chi Xiaocheng rarely saw Si Chen's expression so serious.
She sat down on the computer chair and took a small sip of water. "Is it related to what I called you about today?"
"Maybe it's a little related?" Si Chen said. "Actually, it's a very mystical feeling. Sometimes, I feel like someone is watching me all the time."
"Especially recently, the frequency of this feeling has been particularly high." Si Chen's expression turned a little somber. "What makes me even more uneasy is that I occasionally get ideas that don't seem to belong to me."
"You know, I've already carved 'Never Love Tao' on my back, and we're completely in the same boat now. From the beginning until now, I've never had any thoughts of betraying you or leaving you."
"To put it in more pragmatic terms, I rationally believe that you and the mysterious power behind you are more worth investing in than Su Tao's War God father."
"Someone like me has already put all my chips into your game, and it's even less likely that I'd have any strange ideas about you."
"That's why!" Si Chen's voice grew louder, but also deeper. "I actually occasionally get the idea of 'kidnapping you to threaten the power behind you, so I can easily achieve my goals by borrowing your power.'"
After speaking, Si Chen let out a long breath.
He knew that it would be better to keep these words in his heart.
Saying such things might make Chi Xiaocheng suspicious, and in serious cases, the two of them might even develop a rift, and the trust he had worked so hard to gain would collapse.
But if he wanted to get an answer, perhaps only the girl in front of him could provide it.
After listening quietly, Chi Xiaocheng couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and ask, "How do you know that these suddenly generated ideas aren't just hidden in your subconscious? Kidnapping me and then threatening the power behind me, that is indeed a very good approach."
Si Chen rolled his eyes at Chi Xiaocheng. "Nonsense. I can't even beat you, why would I choose to kidnap you at the risk of my life? Su Tao can turn me into a pile of minced meat with one punch."
"Besides, I studied psychology, I'm very clear about my personal situation."
Compared to the distrust that Chi Xiaocheng might generate.
Si Chen was more afraid of the inexplicable thoughts that appeared in his mind.
Chi Xiaocheng sat up straight. "Tell me about your guess?"
Si Chen pursed his lips. "My guess might be a little mystical. The earliest I felt something was wrong was with the apple you gave me."
"Apple?"
Chi Xiaocheng asked in confusion, and then remembered that it was the poisoned apple she had Si Chen prepare for Chu Lingfeng.
Si Chen: "The one for Chu Lingfeng. When I got it, I felt like that apple made my hair stand on end, and my whole body was very resistant to that thing. I even had the illusion that if I took a bite, I might die."
"Then, when I stuffed it into Chu Lingfeng's hands, I found that Chu Lingfeng had the same feeling as me."
"And during this process, besides the two of us, there was a bodyguard in the back who picked up all the apple scraps and stuffed them into Chu Lingfeng's mouth."
"I asked that bodyguard, and he said he didn't feel anything, but a stranger thing happened."
Si Chen swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Before saying those words, he gave a precautionary shot. "I'm not suspecting you of anything, I'm just saying my guess, don't get angry, okay?"
"Oh, don't talk nonsense, keep talking."
Chi Xiaocheng was also a little anxious. She thought of a possibility she had never considered.
But… she still had to see what Si Chen's subsequent guess was.
And this 1.9-meter-tall man continued to speak according to Chi Xiaocheng's words, "I bribed an insider next to Chu Lingfeng. Because of the possibility of exposure, he only reports to me once a month."
"And according to the summary the insider gave me last time, Chu Lingfeng, after eating the apple, went to the capital for that period of time."
"Had no luck at all!"
