A woman in the house?

This didn’t seem like something particularly noteworthy.

His home was supposed to have Yayun as his wife, and even if Yayun was gone, there was still Baishuang.

Lin Yi spoke gently, “Yun Ling, Yayun and I are engaged—of course she should be at home.”

The matter of his wife leaving wasn’t something people at the company knew about, nor was there any need to publicize it.

“No, someone knocked out several of our employees just to get your address. I only just found out about this. She already knows where you live and has gone to your place—she might even be inside right now. You need to be careful!”

Hearing this, Lin Yi’s expression immediately tensed.

Someone went to the company specifically to find out where he lived? Coming to settle a score? He couldn’t think of anyone he’d offended.

Unless… it had something to do with Yayun?

No, he couldn’t go back now.

What if it was some deranged killer or sadist? Walking in would be like stepping right into a trap.

News like this wasn’t uncommon online—women breaking into the homes of men living alone and brutally assaulting them. The details were often left vague, but most victims ended up permanently disabled.

“Did something happen?”

The muscular woman stepped beside Lin Yi. “If not, then hurry home.”

She needed to start searching the entire neighborhood immediately.

From now on, no one except security personnel was allowed to roam freely in the complex. Anyone else would be treated as a suspect in the recent attack on residents.

“Captain Li, there seems to be some trouble at my place. I need to call the police.”

The muscular woman’s badge read “Li.”

“What kind of trouble?”

“Someone might have broken into my home. It’s dangerous to go back right now.”

“What? …Alright, don’t call the police yet. I’ll go with you to check. If someone really did break in, I’ll handle it.”

Captain Li frowned. She couldn’t afford another incident in the complex. One person sneaking in and knocking out residents was bad enough—if another broke into a home, she might as well resign as security captain.

She absolutely couldn’t let this get reported.

“Okay.”

Lin Yi nodded. He had full confidence in Captain Li’s combat abilities.

With a physique like hers, only Li Huayu could possibly compare.

This was a woman who could deadlift 1,600 kilograms—and that might not even be her limit. Her profile as security captain hadn’t been updated in two years.

By now, she might have improved even further, to an even more absurd degree.

Having her around at least gave him some peace of mind.

“Lead the way.”

Captain Li forced a smile that looked more painful than a grimace, maintaining an air of politeness.

Lin Yi stepped into the elevator and pressed the button for the 13th floor.

When Captain Li followed, the spacious elevator suddenly felt cramped.

Lin Yi could even smell something dangerous in the air.

It wasn’t like his wife Yayun, nor Baishuang, nor any of his ex-girlfriends or the other women he’d met. It was a feral, beast-like aura, thick with menace.

Studying Captain Li’s reflection in the elevator’s polished surface, the more he looked at her terrifying, exaggerated muscles, the more unreal it seemed.

What is this woman, some kind of Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin experiment?

Trenbolone…

If she punched him, he’d probably drop dead on the spot.

Thank god that damn loli system hadn’t given him any trash missions involving her—otherwise, he’d be a goner.

[Big bro called me? ❛‿˂̵✧]

“Shut up!”

[Okayyy (ૢ˃ꌂ˂⁎)]

Arriving at his door, Lin Yi entered the passcode. The lock stuttered briefly before the door opened.

“The lock’s been tampered with,” Captain Li suddenly remarked.

“Really?”

Lin Yi inspected it but saw no obvious signs of damage.

“Some experts can pick locks without leaving a trace—almost indistinguishable from using a key. The marks are extremely subtle. Ordinary men wouldn’t notice, but someone like me, with special abilities, can spot the difference.”

Lin Yi was puzzled.

Eyes again.

First, Li Huayu’s medical license had something about special eyes, and now Captain Li.

Just how many people in this world have special eyes?

“Stay at the door from now on. Here’s a stun baton. If anything happens, run immediately.”

Captain Li carefully handed him the baton.

Lin Yi took it.

Holy shit, this is heavy—way heavier than a normal stun baton.

What’s the voltage on this thing? Could it actually kill someone?

His shock was cut short as Captain Li strode into the apartment with steady steps.

She scanned the room, scrutinizing every corner.

Something’s wrong.

Why are there cameras and recording devices everywhere?

Captain Li’s guard shot up.

This man behind me… isn’t simple!

Is he… planning to make a move on me?!
