Chapter 27 Night Owl - Nightingale
Chapter 27 Night Owl - Nightingale
Ten minutes later—
The car stopped near the cabin.
Lin Yu turned off the engine and looked at Su Wan: "We've arrived."
Su Wan then raised her head, her movements unhurried and deliberate.
Her cheeks were flushed with emotion, and her lips were moist and glossy.
"The timing was perfect!"
As she spoke, Su Wan slowly sat up straight, licked the corner of her lips with her tongue, and then impatiently opened the door and walked into the wooden house.
Lin Yu led Su Wan to the basement, where Su Xiaoya was curled up on a blanket in the corner, hugging her knees and staring at the wall, seemingly lost in thought.
Hearing footsteps, she turned around abruptly, and her eyes lit up instantly when she saw Lin Yu.
But then she caught a glimpse of Su Wan behind Lin Yu.
Su Xiaoya was stunned for a few seconds.
Then, tears welled up unexpectedly.
"elder sister....?"
Hearing the shouts, Su Wan's tears also fell.
She rushed over and hugged Su Xiaoya tightly: "Xiaoya...it's Xiaoya, it really is you..."
The two sisters hugged each other and cried.
Lin Yu leaned against the wall and watched quietly.
It took them quite a while to calm down a bit.
Su Wan cupped Su Xiaowan's face in her hands and examined her carefully: "You've lost weight...and gotten darker, but it's alright, it's alright that you're okay."
"Sister..." Su Xiaoya sobbed, "It was Brother Lin Yu... Brother Lin Yu saved me and has been protecting me ever since..."
Su Wan turned and glanced at Lin Yu, her eyes filled with gratitude.
Although she had thanked Lin Yu countless times, Su Wan still felt indebted to him.
She pulled Su Xiaoya to her feet: "Come on, let's leave here. I'll take you home."
"Going home?" Su Xiaoya's eyes lit up, and she asked curiously, "Is Brother Lin Yu coming along too?"
"Yes, Brother Lin Yu often comes to stay too." Su Wan nodded.
Su Xiaoya turned her head and stole a glance at Lin Yu, her face slightly reddening.
The three left the cabin and returned to the car.
Su Wan sat in the back seat with Su Xiaoya in her arms, asking questions all the way:
How have you been these past few months? Have you been injured? Have you been bullied?
Su Xiaoya answered each question in a soft voice.
Lin Yu glanced at the car in the rearview mirror.
These two sisters are indeed beautiful in their own way.
Su Wan is charming, with a maturity and resilience gained from experiencing the world.
Su Xiaoya was innocent, her eyes still holding an untainted purity.
However, Lin Yu could see that Su Xiaoya's gaze towards him carried a hint of affection.
I remember Su Xiaoya is also 18 years old. Although she looks petite and cute like Anna, she is already mature in many ways.
Lin Yu smiled slightly; he wouldn't turn down food that was practically in his mouth.
Without much thought, Lin Yu increased the car's speed.
Back at the apartment, Su Wan pulled Su Xiaoya to take a shower.
Lin Yu sat in the living room, listening to the sound of water coming from the bathroom and the sisters' laughter, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
He won't cause any trouble tonight, letting Su Wan and Su Xiaoya enjoy their time together.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Yu took out his phone and sent a message to Nightingale:
"Has the inventory of the secret vault been completed?"
Nightingale quickly replied: The inventory is complete, and the list has been sent.
Lin Yu opened the attachment.
A long list, from strange coins to all sorts of bizarre items, materials, ledgers...
The wealth that Chen Tianxiong has amassed over the years is indeed staggering.
There are nearly a million Ghost Coins and dozens of strange items of Sequence Nine.
However... it's not good to take too much, after all, we also need to give an explanation to the police station.
Once you've taken it, others will have to investigate more thoroughly!
So leave some trash behind, and take the good and useful stuff.
With that in mind, Lin Yu picked out a few useful items and had Nightingale deliver them.
The rest is unnecessary.
I had just put down my phone when the bathroom door opened.
Su Xiaoya came out first.
She was wearing Su Wan's pajamas, a white slip dress that was clearly too big, hanging loosely on her body, with the neckline slipping down to her shoulders to reveal a large expanse of fair skin.
Her hair was wet and hanging down, with water droplets dripping from the ends and into her collar.
Su Xiaoya's figure... is indeed top-notch, just like Su Wan's, both are naturally gifted.
When Su Xiaoya saw Lin Yu, her face flushed, and she whispered, "Brother Lin Yu..."
Lin Yu nodded slightly: "You need to dry your hair, do you need me to help you?"
"Mmm." Su Xiaoya walked over and sat down on the other side of the sofa with her legs together and her hands on her knees. Her posture was very well-behaved.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Yu picked up a towel and dried Su Xiaoya's hair.
Su Wan then came out, changed into her pajamas, and said while drying her hair:
"Xiaoya, you sleep with your sister tonight, and Brother Lin Yu will sleep in the guest room."
Su Xiaoya blinked:
"Then... will Brother Lin Yu feel uncomfortable?"
Lin Yu patted Su Xiaoya's head: "No."
"Okay..." Su Xiaoya lowered her head shyly, twisting the hem of her nightgown with her fingers.
She wouldn't be so shy if she were alone with Lin Yu, but Su Wan was also there, and Su Xiaoya was afraid that Su Wan would see that she liked Lin Yu.
The atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment.
Su Wan sensed it, gave Lin Yu a coquettish glance, and then pulled Su Xiaoya into the bedroom.
As soon as the door closed, Su Wan came out again and leaned against the door, saying:
"Honey, you should get some rest too~ I want to spend some quality time with Xiaoya tonight. I'll come find you after she falls asleep~"
As she spoke, Su Wan walked over and kissed Lin Yu before returning to her room.
Lin Yu was the only one left in the living room.
He leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes, and began to process the information he had gathered that day.
Chen Tianxiong is dead, but even bigger trouble is yet to come.
His superiors will never let this go.
There's also Shen Bing. Lin Yu needs to think about how to explain to her tomorrow why he didn't go to the police station, otherwise it will be easy for Shen Bing to guess that he has regained his memory.
Moreover, Chen Tianxiong's death would also be linked to him, and Lin Yu didn't want to be exposed so quickly.
As I kept thinking, drowsiness gradually crept in.
Late at night.
Only one wall lamp was left on in the living room, its dim light casting shadows of varying depths on the sofa and Lin Yu's face.
He leaned back on the sofa, his breathing gradually becoming even, his chest rising and falling slightly with each breath.
Lin Yu is a light sleeper, a habit he has always had.
So when the window made an extremely slight "click" sound, Lin Yu's eyelids twitched.
But he didn't open his eyes immediately.
The window was pushed open a crack.
A figure slipped silently into the room, moving so lightly that it didn't even make a sound when it landed on the floor.
It is a nightingale.
She was wearing a tight-fitting black leather outfit tonight, but not the combat uniform she wore during the day.
This outfit fits the body better, almost like a second skin, clearly outlining every inch of the curves.
She wore a pair of black stiletto high-heeled boots, but she walked without making a sound.
Nightingale stood in the center of the living room, her gaze fixed on Lin Yu on the sofa.
She stared at it for a long time.
There was awe, there was fear, but more than anything, there was a kind of obsession that she herself hadn't fully figured out...
This man is too dangerous, dangerous enough to accurately read her mind and body.
The danger was so great that she was driven to the brink of despair by Chen Tianxiong, whom she feared and hated the most, and she was even able to handle the situation with ease.
But she just couldn't help wanting to get closer to him.
The nightingale took a soft breath and started walking.
The high heels finally made a faint "tap" sound on the floor, clearly indicating a bit of unease.
She walked to the sofa, squatted down, and looked closely at Lin Yu's face.
Lin Yu seemed to be really asleep, his breathing was steady, his brows were relaxed, and he even looked a little...harmless?
But Nightingale knew this was just an illusion; the man's danger was ingrained in his very bones.
She reached out, her fingertips hovering above Lin Yu's cheek, hesitated for a moment, and didn't dare to actually touch him.
Her gaze then moved downwards, sweeping over Lin Yu's well-defined jawline, Adam's apple, and collarbone, finally settling on the open collar of his shirt.
Lin Yu's chest rose and fell slowly with his breathing, the outline of his muscles faintly visible beneath the fabric.
The nightingale's throat moved, and its breathing quickened slightly.
Then she bit her lower lip, as if she had made up her mind, and leaned closer to Lin Yu.
