Chapter 10 Being Pursued

The manipulator behind the scenes had actually found these people to target her. If she ever found the truth one day, she definitely wouldn't let him have an easy time.

"Yesterday when I went downstairs to buy groceries, I noticed a few suspicious people seemed to be following me. When you arrived just now, did you notice anyone suspicious?"

Sister Li thought for a moment, then her eyes suddenly showed a look of nervousness.

Would those people remain lurking here, waiting for Miss to appear?

"This... I didn't pay attention."

After arriving at the residential complex, she had been looking for Sister Li's house number, and her guard had been lowered.

She had never imagined that those people would track her here.

"When you leave later, you must be more careful."

"Okay."

Suddenly, Sister Li changed the subject.

"Miss, have you really signed a three-month contract with Mr. Qin?"

She had received a call from Yin Xi early in the morning, and she was very surprised after learning about her decision.

Yin Xi gave a wry smile and slowly replied, "Yes. Currently, this is the only way to resolve the Yin family's urgent crisis.

Moreover, I am also repaying his kindness in saving me."

Of course, she had another purpose. However, these were not convenient to tell Sister Li.

"Okay. I support Miss's decision. He saved you and is willing to help the Yin family repay their debts, so you should indeed repay him."

At this moment, Yin Xi's phone rang. She took it out and saw the words "Mr. Qin" displayed on it.

Last night, after signing the contract with him, Yin Xi had saved his phone number under those three words.

"Hello?"

"Did you get the box?" A deep, pleasant voice came from the other end of the phone. It was Qin Siye.

"Mmm. I got it," Yin Xi replied.

"Then don't linger outside for too long, go home as soon as possible."

Go home? The man's warm, mellow voice sent an inexplicable warmth through her heart.

She had a home again now. Even if it was only for three months, a flicker of emotion still arose in her heart.

"Okay. I'll be right back."

After hanging up the phone, Sister Li looked at her with a smile, "Miss, is that Mr. Qin calling?"

"Mmm."

"Mr. Qin is truly a good person. It seems he cares about you a lot."

Thinking of the butler who had followed her and the phone call just now, Sister Li even had a thought in her heart.

If Miss and this Mr. Qin could turn their pretend relationship into a real one, it might be a beautiful marriage.

Yin Xi just smiled slightly, not continuing her words. Instead, she stood up from the sofa and bid her farewell.

"Sister Li, I'm leaving now. I'll visit you again when I have time."

"Alright. Miss, please go slowly!" Sister Li gently pushed Yin Xi's box towards her and saw her off to the doorway.

Not long after Yin Xi and Steward Liu walked out of Sister Li's building, Steward Liu discovered those same people again.

Fearing he might startle Yin Xi, he didn't say anything, pushing Yin Xi's box forward quickly.

Yin Xi also sensed something amiss and followed closely, not saying a word.

It was only at this moment that she realized how fraught with danger her surroundings were.

And Qin Siyan's concerns and arrangements were all correct.

As soon as the two got into the car, Steward Liu started the engine and drove away quickly.

He wasn't afraid of those people, but he was worried that Yin Xi might get hurt.

Therefore, the best plan for now was to skillfully shake them off.

Not long after the car drove off, Steward Liu saw a black sedan closely following them in the rearview mirror.

"Miss Yin, please buckle up!" Steward Liu said to Yin Xi in the back seat, then sped up the car. "Read books aloud."

Hearing this, Yin Xi immediately grabbed the grab handle on the side of the car.

The car turned into a small road and made several sharp turns at intersections. Driving at high speed, Steward Liu made the car behind them spin in circles and finally managed to shake them off completely.

Finally, the Maybach smoothly drove forward on the main road, and Yin Xi, still shaken, came back to her senses.

"Miss Yin, are you alright?"

"I'm... I'm fine." Yin Xi gently smoothed her disheveled hair, forcing a smile to her lips. "Steward Liu, I really didn't expect your driving skills to be so good!"

"Where, where. You've made me look foolish, Miss Yin. My driving skills are far inferior to Master's!" Steward Liu replied humbly.

Oh? Qin Siye, with his low-key, steady demeanor, like an old cadre, would be such a good driver?

The car quickly arrived at Star Blue Bay. As soon as Yin Xi carried her box to her room, she received another call from Qin Siye.

"Hello? Yin Xi, Steward Liu said there was a car chasing you on the road just now. Are you... alright?"

This was the first time he had called her by her first name, and Yin Xi's heart inexplicably began to beat faster.

She was sure that this was the most pleasant-sounding time anyone had ever called her name since she was born.

"I'm fine. Thank you!" Yin Xi replied immediately.

"That's good. Don't leave the house for the next couple of days. I'll handle everything," the man's voice on the phone was still pleasant and charming.

"Okay!" Yin Xi replied obediently, then suddenly asked, "I'm a bit worried about Sister Li now. Will they go and trouble her?"

Those thugs couldn't catch her earlier. If they turned back to find Sister Li, wouldn't Sister Li be in grave danger?

"Don't worry, they won't. I will handle this matter," Qin Siye's words were brief but his voice was firm.

He had already sent people to keep an eye on them. If those people dared to go back, they would be caught red-handed.

Suddenly, after hearing his words, Yin Xi felt as if a stone had been lifted from her heart.

"Okay."

By the side of the road, in a black Audi, several men looked dejected, not saying a word.

One of them took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Miss Lu, I apologize! We lost her."

Lu Yutong, on the other end of the phone, suppressed her anger and asked in a low voice, "What did the person accompanying her look like?"

"He was a man in his forties, looked very strong, and was driving a black Maybach," the man who called replied.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yushan frowned.

This Yin Xi truly was capable. It seemed she had underestimated her. She had managed to latch onto an old man in such a short time?

"Did you get the license plate number?" Lu Yushan wanted to find out who that man was.

The caller's phone was on speaker, so everyone in the car could hear her words clearly.

He looked at the others, and they all shook their heads.

"No."

"What are you people eating? You bragged about your abilities, and this is all you've got?" Lu Yushan's angry voice immediately came from the phone.

The air in the car suddenly became tense. Everyone held their breath in unison, not daring to breathe heavily.

After a while, the man holding the phone cautiously asked in a low voice, "Miss Lu, what should we do now?"
