Chapter 394: House Arrest
“Xiaoxiao, what are you doing here?”
When Du Ze opened the door, he did not expect to see Shen Xiaoxiao standing not far away. His expression changed slightly, but he quickly reacted. He immediately took off his coat and draped it over Shen Xiaoxiao’s shoulder.
It was a chilly night. Shen Xiaoxiao had wanted to visit Da Bao, but she did not expect to see Du Ze. Why was he here?
“I heard Da Bao’s voice. Is she here?”
“Da Bao’s voice? You must have heard wrong. This is my bedroom and study. The voice you heard might be my cell phone. I recorded our Da Bao’s voice as a ringtone.”
Shen Xiaoxiao was stunned. She looked at Du Ze and didn’t know how to react. He even recorded Da Bao’s crying. He wasn’t Da Bao’s father. Why was he so attentive and flirtatious?
D*mn Liu Yufei. She was really an idiot. She did not let any man go and left such a mess behind!
However, she still needed to contact Yan Kuan through Du Ze. She absolutely could not let him notice anything.
Although she still had some doubts in her heart, the crying was indeed gone. After thinking for a while, Shen Xiaoxiao said reluctantly, “It’s good that it’s not Da Bao crying. I’m going back to rest.”
“I’ll send you back. It’s been so many days. I miss you very much.”
Du Ze’s words made Shen Xiaoxiao’s whole body feel goosebumps. She held it in for a while, almost striking him. After thinking for a while… She suddenly stopped and asked Du Ze, “How’s 19? Didn’t you say that he’s better? Why didn’t you bring him to see me?”
Du Ze’s expression changed again. Even the hand that was about to put on Shen Xiaoxiao’s shoulder stopped in midair. After a while, he said, “His injury is different from yours. It’s too serious. He can’t get out of bed yet. Let him rest in the hospital. Don’t worry, I’ve hired a professional nurse. I won’t let anything happen to him.”
“He can’t get out of bed yet. Sigh, it’s bad luck to work for a boss like me. If something happens to the Ouyang family, it will implicate him. After he recovers, I’d better give him a sum of money to return to his hometown. Otherwise, he’ll lose his life one day. I naturally can’t treat a loyal person unfairly.”
Hearing Shen Xiaoxiao’s words, Du Ze secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He nodded and said, “En, I think it’s fine. Don’t worry. Let me handle this matter. When the time comes, I will make arrangements to ensure that he won’t have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life.”
“I’m going back to my room. You should go and rest. I’m still in the midst of my confinement. My body still needs rest.”
Du Ze understood this sentence. Although he felt uncomfortable, he still felt that Xiaoxiao’s body was more important. There was still plenty of time in the future. Anyway, Xiaoxiao was already living here now. It was only a matter of time before they were together. He didn’t need to be in a hurry. However, he missed Xiaoxiao too much. Her every frown and smile could make him fall head over heels for her.
After sending Shen Xiaoxiao back to her room, Du Ze looked around. Xiaoxiao had walked out of her room so easily. It was not good after all. If she found out about it, it would be a problem. It seemed that he had to prepare in advance.
Moreover, Xiaoxiao wanted to contact the outside world every few days. He should plan carefully.
Du Ze was an expert in computer software programs. Every other day, he sent a small notebook to Shen Xiaoxiao, telling her that she could go online and chat.
Shen Xiaoxiao was overjoyed. Du Ze actually connected her and was willing to let her communicate with the outside world. It was just that it was inconvenient without a cell phone.
However, having a computer was still better than having nothing. Moreover, using the Internet to communicate with Yan Kuan was the same.
The first thing Shen Xiaoxiao did was to send an email to Yan Kuan’s personal email address. However, before sending the email, Shen Xiaoxiao hesitated again. This Du Ze didn’t even let her use her phone, yet he gave her a computer alone. Could this computer have been tampered with?
For example, if the email couldn’t be sent out, or if it was sent out, the other party wouldn’t be able to receive it at all?
She did not forget about Du Ze’s ability. He was someone who worked in the computer industry. Even Yan Kuan said that his skills were top-notch. Wouldn’t it be a simple matter to stop her from sending an email?
Shen Xiaoxiao deleted all the messages that she had edited previously. Instead, she changed to another message. It was a very simple message, “I’m at Du Ze’s place.”
If Yan Kuan saw it, it would be great if he could come and save her. However, if Du Ze had hijacked this email, then it would prove that his every move seemed to be fine, but in reality, she was indeed under Du Ze’s house arrest.
The email had already been sent out. She did not know if she would receive a reply. Shen Xiaoxiao waited at the side. After half an hour, there was a reply to the email.
Shen Xiaoxiao opened it. It was a reply from Yan Kuan. However, the content of the reply was: “Take good care of your body. I’m back in China.”
First, he said that he wanted her to take good care of her body? Second, he said that he was back in China?
Just these two sentences made Shen Xiaoxiao’s heart turn cold. This Du Ze was indeed spying on her. How could Yan Kuan say that he was back in China?
He was originally from China, but no one else knew about it. However, when it came to Yan Kuan returning to China, he was guessing whether he was in China or not. He should be here because he had not found her yet. Yan Kuan would not leave her alone. She believed this very much.
For a moment, Shen Xiaoxiao lost all interest in playing on the computer. She even laid on the bed a little sulkily. If Yan Kuan could not find her, then she could only rely on herself to take care of her body, take good care of Da Bao, and find an opportunity to escape.
Du Ze sat in front of the computer and read the email thoughtfully. Who was Xiaoxiao sending this to? Pei Li? Impossible. Pei Li was already locked up. Although it was an economic crime, he would not be released so quickly. Could it be Da Bao’s biological father, Yan Kuan?
However, he had received news that Yan Kuan had already gone abroad. Even if Xiaoxiao wanted to ask him for help, there was nothing she could do. What he was most afraid of was Xiaoxiao sneaking away when he was not paying attention, especially now that her body was slowly recovering. Xiaoxiao had been in the underground club for more than ten years. She was skilled. If her body was completely fine by then, he might not be able to stop her.
Why couldn’t Xiaoxiao stay by his side with peace of mind?
In that case, he had to think of a way.
Shen Xiaoxiao got up the next day. She only felt extremely sleepy and wanted to sleep. This situation had been the same for three consecutive days. Shen Xiaoxiao was such a smart person. She immediately knew that she had been tricked, and the person who had drugged her was Du Ze. It could only be him.
It seemed that Du Ze was afraid that she would run away. Shen Xiaoxiao hated him so much, but she had no choice but to eat. If she didn’t eat, then she definitely wouldn’t have the strength to take the child away.
Looking at the bowl of bird’s nest that the nurse brought every day and the way she stood by the side with Da Bao in her arms, watching her eat before she left, using Da Bao to threaten her, Shen Xiaoxiao’s heart grew colder and colder…
