CHAPTER 190: CHAPTER 190: JIANG PING

She actually never blamed her sister-in-law from start to finish.

Because ever since her sister-in-law came into the family, she never did anything excessive.

On the contrary, every time there was a family birthday or holiday, she would buy gifts and clothes for her parents and her.

Conflicts are inevitable in a family, but she felt that as long as her sister-in-law treated her parents well and her brother well, she was satisfied.

Fan Lalan looked at Lin Xiaoyan, saw the sincerity in her eyes, and for the first time felt a burst of happiness.

It was the joy of being understood by a sister, yes, at this moment Fan Lalan regarded Lin Xiaoyan as her own sister.

After the two separated, their relationship became much closer.

In the evening, when Lin Hao came back from work, he saw his wife and sister having a joyful conversation in the kitchen.

He and Laicai came back, neither of them noticed.

"Ahem..."

"Woof woof..."

One man and one dog stood at the kitchen door and made noises to indicate that they were back.

"Honey?" Fan Lalan heard the sound and turned around to see her husband had come back. She walked over with a face full of joy.

"Go wash up, it’s almost time to eat."

Lin Hao nodded, and peeked at his sister who was cooking, "Looks like we’re in for a treat tonight!"

At night, Fan Lalan nestled in her husband’s arms and said emotionally, "Wasn’t I...quite harsh before?"

Lin Hao was just feeling his daughter’s movements when he suddenly heard his wife’s question. His scalp tingled, and he immediately refuted with a strong desire to survive, "How could that be? Who said that! My wife is obviously gentle, virtuous, and sensible, how could she be harsh!"

Fan Lalan laughed listening to Lin Hao’s words.

"Today I went shopping with Yanyan, and Yanyan bought me a lot of maternity clothes, baby clothes, and skincare products..."

Fan Lalan continued, "All paid for by Yanyan."

Lin Hao nodded, "Well, when she gets married, we’ll make it up to her."

"Okay," Fan Lalan said with a smile.

That night, it seemed everyone had a good dream, except... Jiang Ping!

At this moment, Jiang Ping was lying in bed, turning off her phone to prepare for sleep.

Closing her eyes, the confusion from returning home yesterday afternoon reappeared in her mind.

After leaving the hospital yesterday at noon, she went to meet her best friend. After they had dinner together, she went straight home.

Upon returning, she found water stains in her kitchen sink.

But she clearly didn’t eat at home in the morning or at noon, she hadn’t cooked, so why were there water stains?

She had cooked dinner last night, but after a whole night and the following morning, how could it still be wet?

Then she went to the bathroom to take a shower and found the toilet lid was up!!!

She only lifted the lid when cleaning the toilet, she never lifted it otherwise!

At that moment, she thought someone had broken into her house, and she immediately ran into the kitchen, grabbed a knife, and searched the entire house.

She checked the cabinets, the balcony, under the bed... she checked everything, and found nothing.

She wondered if she had remembered incorrectly.

Last night, she changed her door lock’s code, and before going to work this morning, she checked every corner of the room and took photos for record.

When she returned tonight, she checked again and found nothing unusual.

Jiang Ping breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed she had scared herself.

She lay in bed, thinking about the video she had just watched of a single woman living with a dog; she hesitated whether to get a dog for security.

But she was also concerned about the dog’s destructiveness, so she fell asleep in her dilemma.

"Ring ring..."

The six o’clock alarm went off, and Jiang Ping struggled to get out of bed, transforming into a hardworking person.

Squinting, Jiang Ping picked up her phone and groggily headed to the bathroom.

The first thing to do after getting up is to go to the toilet!

Jiang Ping, eyes closed, walked to the familiar spot, pulled down her pants, and sat down.

"Ah!"

Jiang Ping bounced up and turned to look at the raised toilet seat.

Her drowsiness vanished instantly, and she looked around the bathroom cautiously, finding no one.

But her heart was now racing.

She was sure now that besides her, there was someone else in the house!

Last night, she clearly did not lift the toilet seat!

Jiang Ping nervously and quietly locked the door.

She picked up the mop in the bathroom and checked every corner of the bathroom again. After making sure there was no one, she immediately took her phone to send a message for help to her best friend.

At the same time, He Qi’an had brought people to Jiang Ping’s residential area.

According to Lin Xiaoyan, Jiang Ping was murdered at seven thirty this morning.

At six forty-five, the person hidden under Jiang Ping’s bed silently counted down in his heart.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

Yet, Jiang Ping, who should typically come out after fifteen minutes in the bathroom, did not.

The person frowned but remained motionless under the bed.

"Knock knock... Hello, is anyone home?"

Suddenly, a knocking came from outside the door, causing both hearts inside the house to jump.

The bathroom was close to the entrance, and she clearly heard someone knocking on the door outside. Now, she just wanted to flee this terrifying place quickly.

"Knock knock..."

"Hello, property management. Is anyone home?" He Qi’an was knocking at Jiang Ping’s door with his team, glancing at the time. There was half an hour before Jiang Ping was to be murdered, so she should be safe.

The person under the bed quietly moved, shifting further inside.

Jiang Ping picked up her phone and quickly opened the door, shouting, "Yes, one moment."

She didn’t dare to look inside the house, instead rushing to the door and opening it as fast as possible.

When she saw a group of police officers standing there, she suddenly burst into tears.

Fear swept over her and she clung to the officer in front of her, sobbing uncontrollably.

He Qi’an stepped aside, and Jiang Ping hugged Zhang Ming, who was behind He Qi’an.

Zhang Ming: ......

"Officer, I... I think there’s someone... in my place... Lucky you... you came... scared me to death..." Jiang Ping sobbed as she recounted her fears.

He Qi’an motioned with his eyes for Zhang Ming to comfort the victim, while he led his team inside to search the house.

Hearing that the newcomers were police officers, the hidden person panicked internally. How did the police come? He hadn’t exposed any flaws...

"Come out!"

He Qi’an walked into Jiang Ping’s bedroom and immediately noticed someone under the bed. He bent down to look and indeed saw a man in black clothes curled up at the furthest corner under the bed.

All the officers came in and together they pulled the man out.

Realizing someone had actually been caught, Jiang Ping felt even more fear.

She staggered back inside and looked at the captured person.

"It’s you!"

Jiang Ping saw the man’s face clearly, and her eyes widened in shock.

"How do you have my house key? Why are you hiding in my house? What do you want to do?" Jiang Ping asked angrily.

The man looked up, a smile full of affection appearing on his face, "Because... I like you!"

Looking into the man’s eyes, Jiang Ping shivered all over, her scalp tingled, and she was terrified to the extreme.
