After Si Jinyan left, Chi Li stayed in the living room on the first floor.
Without any communication equipment, Chi Li did not expect to be able to open the door on the first floor and go out. At this moment, he did not want to come into contact with Si Jinyan, so he sat on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor.
After sitting for a while, the door of the master bedroom was opened. Chi Li did not raise his head. After a while, he heard the sound of the door closing again. Only then did Chi Li raise his head. The sound of the door closing came from the room next to the master bedroom. Si Jinyan entered that room.
Chi Li sat for a while and suddenly felt a little cold. The window in the hall was open. It was already the beginning of winter here, and spring had already entered the place where Chi Li was before.
Chi Li was only wearing a pair of pajamas. He didn't realize that he seemed to be more sensitive to temperature needs than before, and habitually attributed this to the temperature difference brought about by this strange place.
Chi Li sat for a while longer, got up and walked to the second floor.
Just as he finished climbing the last step, the study door was pushed open, and Si Jinyan happened to come out and looked at Chi Li.
Si Jinyan's lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.
Chi Li saw Si Jinyan glance away, pass him by, and walk downstairs.
Chi Li breathed a sigh of relief, but felt his heart sink inexplicably.
It seemed that only the master bedroom in the villa had been cleared out for habitation. Chi Li returned to the bedroom, but Si Jinyan did not come back near midnight.
There was no longer a strange chain restricting his movement on Chi Li's wrist. He could move freely throughout the villa. He never even saw Si Jinyan again.
Since the last incident in the hall, Si Jinyan left, and Chi Li has not seen Si Jinyan again.
Two days have passed.
In the past, Chi Li wouldn't have thought anything of it, but after all the incidents with Si Jinyan, Si Jinyan's behavior seemed abnormal.
Chi Li also did not forget to take advantage of the opportunity when Si Jinyan was not in the villa to look for opportunities to go out or contact the outside world.
As he expected, the villa had a sound security system, and its defense capabilities were not as good as Marshal's Residence, but it was more than enough to trap a person without any equipment or tools.
Chi Li is not the only one left in the villa, there is also the strange housekeeper.
The disappearance of Yuan Ru left a small pimple in Chi Li's heart, but now Chi Li has no chance to ask about Yuan Ru again.
The unfamiliar housekeeper will cook for Chi Li on time, prepare new clothes for washing every day, and respectfully tell Chi Li: "If you need it, you can contact me through the communicator on the bedside."
In addition, Chi Li rarely sees this housekeeper during normal times, and he seems to deliberately avoid Chi Li.
Chi Li couldn't help but guess Si Jinyan's intention, but what he thought more about was how to get out of here.
That night Chi Li had fallen asleep.
It was raining outside the house, and the moderate rain fell on the leaves and into the soil, and hit the buildings, which just blurred people's hearing.
Until Chi Li was awakened by a knocking sound that was slight at first and then became louder and louder.
It was like someone was tapping the wall with a mallet, and the sound continued, slowly changing from a calm and rhythmic tone to an urgent one.
Chi Li was woken up by this weird banging sound. After listening for a while, he couldn't fall asleep again.
Because he realized that this was a noise deliberately made by someone, as if to attract people's attention.
Chi Li hesitantly and cautiously opened the bedroom door.
In the empty and silent villa, the sound of rain outside suddenly became louder. The wind blew the branches outside the house, and shadows fell on the walls through the windows, which were eerie and mottled. A chill spread with the continuous and strange beating sounds.
He stood quietly at the door of the bedroom for a moment, and surprisingly found that the housekeeper seemed not to be affected by the sound. If the housekeeper had heard it, he would most likely walk out of the door like him.
Chi Li frowned slightly, there was indeed something fishy about this, but after a moment, not only did he not retreat from fear, he even felt a faint sense of hope.
Chi Li walked towards the place where the sound came from, searched for a moment, and finally came to a closed door.
Chi Li knows the location of this room. According to the orientation, it is in the easternmost corner of the back of the entire villa.
Thinking of this, Chi Li's heart skipped a beat.
He was holding a decorative metal candlestick in his hand. After opening the door, a flash of lightning suddenly lit up outside the room.
His eyes closed slightly as a conditioned reflex, and he waited until the brightness brought by the lightning passed before he adapted to the darkness again.
Outside the window of the utility room, a pair of gloomy eyes were staring at Chi Li in the mud. After the lightning, those faintly glowing pupils were hidden in the dark night.
Chi Li was completely unaware of this scene.
