Villa Charm

"Are you going to investigate this case?"

"Yeah!"

"Wait a moment, I'll turn off the computer..." Miao Ruolan also stood up.

"...This..."

"What do you mean 'this'? Under the current circumstances, I absolutely won't allow you to go out and investigate alone," Miao Ruolan said.

Fine then...

Lin Xiaosu could only compromise.

He honestly hadn't intended to bring her along. Why? Because this case had a special nature and would definitely involve content unsuitable for minors. It was already awkward for a man and a woman to be in the same room, but even more so to watch "adult" films together. It was a bit dangerous...

However, what she said made sense. The current situation was indeed special. Before they planned to expose everything, it was best not to go out alone, especially at night...

Outside Hongxing Pharmaceutical, Lin Xiaosu and Miao Ruolan sat by the pond, looking like a young couple on an outing.

They were waiting.

Waiting for the target to appear.

As the sun set, the target finally appeared: Wang Changfa, in his forties. The prime of a man's life, wealthy, and not yet old. His youthful dreams were within reach. Even more crucially, his wife didn't bother with him. For such a person, if he didn't break free now, when would he?

Beside the Feichi car outside, his driver bowed respectfully, "Boss, are we going home?"

"You go home. Give me the car!"

Then, Wang Changfa got into the car, and the Feichi car sped off towards the south of the city.

Behind the Feichi car, Miao Ruolan drove, her speed was quite high, but her car's horsepower was ultimately too small. Seeing the Feichi car about to disappear from sight, she became a little anxious, "We really need to buy a car. It's a disadvantage to handle cases like this."

"It's okay, he can't get away!" Lin Xiaosu said.

For the latter half of the journey, he instructed Miao Ruolan on driving. They made a series of turns and arrived at Tashan Lake.

The side of Tashan Lake near Tashan was a villa district.

The wealthy people of Fengcheng were all willing to build a secluded villa here.

It was elegant and refined, nestled against the mountains and by the water. However, the villas here were very mysterious. Rarely did any prominent figures appear in person. Most of the time, it was others who acted on their behalf, be it lovers or family members, to acquire land and build houses in their names. In reality, these villas all belonged to those prominent figures – of course, these prominent figures were operating by the standards of a small county.

"There!" Lin Xiaosu pointed to a villa on the side near Tashan Lake.

Miao Ruolan's gaze sharpened, and she saw it.

The Feichi car had just pulled into the garage, and the garage door closed immediately.

Very secretive...

If it weren't for him, she probably would have lost track of it...

Miao Ruolan parked her small electric scooter under the shade of the willows.

"What now?"

Lin Xiaosu raised his gaze, "Up the tree."

Miao Ruolan was a little excited, "Which one?"

"That one!" Lin Xiaosu pointed gently.

It was a large willow tree next to the villa. At this time of year, the tender willows were shedding their catkins. The sturdy old willow, with its water-fresh branches, the clear Tashan Lake, and the majestic Tashan, along with the elegantly decorated villas by the lake, all combined to form the beautiful scenery of Tashan.

Sitting in this old willow tree, one could see into the second floor.

If they jumped down from the tree, they could even reach the roof of the third floor.

It was truly the most ideal spot for eavesdropping.

Miao Ruolan looked around...

"Let's go!"

The two walked along the lakeside. In the vast night, no one paid them any attention. They reached within three meters of the old willow tree. Miao Ruolan sprang from the ground and disappeared.

The next moment, Lin Xiaosu also disappeared from his spot.

They landed on the willow tree simultaneously. Behind them, shielded by the old tree, they were close together, able to feel each other's body heat.

And to anyone else, even if they were deliberately paying attention, they wouldn't have noticed their presence.

Lin Xiaosu's Heavenly Dao Insightful Eye pierced through time and space, rewinding!

Day and night rapidly shifted before his eyes. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat. Last night, this car started. What did that signify? It signified that Wang Changfa was here last night.

So, did anything happen in the villa?

Continuing to trace back, the most thrilling scene appeared.

The mistress of the villa, a seductive woman, entered a second-floor room.

The second-floor room had curtains, but the wind was strong yesterday. A gust of wind blew them aside, allowing Lin Xiaosu to see half of the bed.

On the bed, Wang Changfa was wrapped in a bath towel. The woman entered the room, smiled charmingly, filling the room with a spring-like atmosphere. Her own bath towel flew off, and then...

To determine if she was the one poisoning people, the best way was to see with your own eyes if she was infected. If she was infected, she was likely also a victim. If she was not infected, then the probability of her being the poisoner increased dramatically, as it indicated she had detoxified herself beforehand.

During this Time Reversal, he only saw one thing: the two of them had played with a bunch of mosaics yesterday.

However, with the curtains obscuring the view, it was impossible to see clearly. He needed to look more closely.

Lin Xiaosu exited Time Reversal and switched his vision back to the current scene.

The target locked was someone's bathing at this very moment...

There were no curtains in the bathroom.

Only glass.

This glass, steamed up by the mist, generally prevented anyone from seeing anything.

But how extraordinary was Lin Xiaosu's Heavenly Dao Insightful Eye?

The mist automatically cleared under the Heavenly Dao Insightful Eye, and even with the glass's reflection, it was not enough to interfere with his vision.

As the water rushed down, he saw the most wonderful scene.

Everything he should see and shouldn't see, he saw it all...

She wasn't infected!

After she finished bathing, a new scene appeared, and Lin Xiaosu's heart leaped...

Her hand reached out to the small platform in the bathroom where the shower gel was placed. Her slender fingers pressed it three times. A hidden compartment inside flipped open, revealing a metal bottle. She opened the bottle, and inside was a pale red liquid. She applied the liquid to a certain spot, carefully tucking in the edges...

Lin Xiaosu felt a bit embarrassed to watch. His gaze shifted to Miao Ruolan. Miao Ruolan wasn't looking at him; she was looking at the window, but her chin had turned red.

The bathroom door seemed to be knocked on.

The sound didn't reach him, but Lin Xiaosu could still see the airflow fluctuations on the door with his Heavenly Dao Insightful Eye, indicating a knock.

The beautiful woman flipped her hand with extreme speed, quickly putting away the small bottle and placing it back into the original hidden compartment. With a light brush of her hand, the compartment seemed to disappear into thin air.

A shy smile appeared on her face as she opened the bathroom door.

Outside, of course, was Wang Changfa. He opened his arms and embraced the woman in front of him. The woman shrank into his arms. Lin Xiaosu stared at her mouth. He couldn't hear her voice, but he actually possessed the mysterious skill of lip-reading.

Lip-reading meant judging what someone was saying by looking at their lips and tongue movements, without listening to their voice.

This skill was not easy to acquire, but Lin Xiaosu had been diligently practicing it during this time and had managed to master it.

Why did he have to possess this skill?

Because it was a significant drawback of Time Reversal.

Time Reversal could only show images; it couldn't transmit sound.

That's why he had practiced this skill so hard. Now, he could make the silent images from Time Reversal transmit the spoken words of that time into his brain.

The woman said, "No... good man, wash first..."

So, she washed first. As she was washing, things started to go off track, and something inappropriate happened in the bathroom.
