Outer Room.
In the living room.
It was already past seven in the morning.
Fang Shuiling ran out of the inner room in a panic. Xie Ran followed closely behind, holding his frightened girlfriend's hand and soothing her. The two sat down on chairs.
"I'm just afraid of rats." Fang Shuiling still looked shaken.
"I know. It's okay now, it's okay." Xie Ran patted her hand.
Fang Shuiling exhaled. "We should scatter some rat poison under the bed."
Xie Ran gave a grunt. "That's the bad thing about single-story houses. Too many rats and bugs. If Brother-in-law hadn't stopped me, I would've killed it just now."
Killed it?
Who the hell did you think you were going to kill?
Dong Xuebin could guarantee that if Xie Ran had lifted the bedsheet and looked beneath the bed just now, the one who would have died would definitely have been Xie Ran.
Dong Xuebin was the last to come out of the inner room. Before closing the door, he glanced beneath the bed, then stepped out and shut the door tightly. Once he let out a breath, the danger signal was temporarily lifted. But it still wasn't safe. As long as Fang Wenping remained under that bed, she was a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment. The key was to get Xie Ran and Fang Shuiling out of here as soon as possible. As long as they stayed, Dong Xuebin would have no peace.
"What kind of tea would you like?" Dong Xuebin asked.
"No need, plain water is fine. We already poured some ourselves." Xie Ran was very polite. "Don't trouble yourself, Brother-in-law. By the way, haven't you eaten breakfast?"
Fang Shuiling said, "Brother Dong just woke up, so he definitely hasn't eaten. I'll make something."
