47: Chapter 47 Oh no, something bad is going to happen?

Su Yun raised an eyebrow.

"He returned it to you? Are you sure that was the original key and not a fake one he had made later?"

"Or perhaps, before he returned it to you, he had already secretly made a spare?"

Chen Xinyi was completely stunned.

She recalled the breakup from half a month ago.

Zhou Kai was her college classmate; he looked gentle and well-mannered, and at first, he was completely obedient to her.

But after they got together, she realized this man had an extremely strong desire for control.

He wouldn't let her wear short skirts, wouldn't let her talk to other men, and even her social media posts had to be approved by him.

Whenever things didn't go his way, he would become hysterical, smashing things, punching walls, and even self-harming.

Chen Xinyi could no longer stand this suffocating love and proposed a breakup.

That day, Zhou Kai knelt on the ground begging her, crying until he was a mess of snot and tears.

Seeing that his attempts to reconcile were futile, his face suddenly changed. He stared at her with sinister, brooding eyes and said something that still haunts her nightmares to this day.

"Chen Xinyi, you are mine in life, and you will be my ghost in death."

"You can't get rid of me; don't even think about escaping me in this lifetime."

At the time, Chen Xinyi just thought he was speaking in anger, so after getting the key back, she blocked him. But she never imagined...

"Remember now?"

Su Yun watched Chen Xinyi's shifting expressions and knew she had made the connection.

"It seems your ex-boyfriend's love for you is truly... earth-shattering."

Although Su Yun was speaking in a teasing tone, his eyes were fixed on the system panel in the void.

Just a moment ago.

In the system display, the man named Zhou Kai was lying flat on the attic floor.

His eyes were glued to a monitor linked to a pinhole camera, and he was toying with a gleaming boning knife in his hand.

That knife was one he had stolen from the kitchen downstairs.

And that pinhole camera was pointed directly at Chen Xinyi's bed!

At this very moment, Zhou Kai watched the panicked Chen Xinyi on the screen, a twisted, perverted smile curling the corners of his lips.

That smile was filled with greed, desire, and the madness of someone about to destroy everything.

His Sin Value was skyrocketing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

From the 3 points it was just a moment ago, it had jumped directly to 80!

And it was still rising!

This meant the guy had already developed the intent to kill!

Su Yun's heart skipped a beat.

He couldn't delay any longer.

If he didn't take action, this place would become a crime scene tonight.

"Listen!"

Su Yun suddenly raised his voice, his tone becoming unprecedentedly serious.

"Now is not the time to reminisce about the past."

"Chen Xinyi, grab another phone and call the police immediately!"

"Tell them someone has broken in to commit a crime, and make sure you give them the address clearly!"

Chen Xinyi was jolted back to her senses by this shout and scrambled to find the spare phone on the nightstand.

"C-call the police..."

Her fingers were trembling so much she couldn't even unlock the screen, and it took several tries before she finally managed to dial 110.

Just then.

Su Yun suddenly spoke into the microphone, centering his breath, and shouted with all his might.

"Zhou Kai!"

This roar, amplified by Chen Xinyi's phone at maximum volume, exploded in the empty bedroom.

The sound was so loud that even the crystal chandelier swayed.

"I know you're up there!"

"And I know you're watching the livestream!"

"If you don't want to die, stay put!"

"The police are already on their way! You're trapped like a rat in a jar now!"

This move of Su Yun's was a desperate gamble.

Instead of letting that pervert hide in the shadows and wait for an opportunity, it was better to expose him directly and break his psychological defenses.

Moreover, this was also to buy time for Chen Xinyi.

As long as that pervert panicked, he would reveal a flaw.

Sure enough.

The moment Su Yun finished shouting those words.

Thud!

A loud noise suddenly came from the ceiling above.

It sounded like something heavy had slammed hard onto the floor.

Immediately after, thud-thud-thud-thud!

A rush of frantic and messy footsteps sounded wildly above Chen Xinyi's head.

The sound was too clear, too real.

It wasn't the sound of marbles, nor was it a mouse.

That was the sound of a grown man running!

The livestream chat exploded.

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap! There really is someone!"

"Did you hear that? Those footsteps! They're right above!"

"Oh my god! I have goosebumps! This is more intense than a horror movie!"

"The streamer is amazing! Calling him out directly like that!"

Chen Xinyi heard the sound and screamed in terror, almost dropping her phone again.

"He's running! He's running!"

"He's coming down! Master, save me!"

Su Yun's eyes narrowed.

In the system display, Zhou Kai was scared out of his wits by Su Yun's shout.

He hadn't expected that despite hiding so well, he would be ferreted out by a web streamer.

The fear of being watched and exposed instantly transformed into extreme anger and despair.

Since he was exposed, he would go down fighting!

Grabbing the boning knife, Zhou Kai rushed toward the attic exit like a crazed beast.

"Quick!"

Su Yun commanded sharply.

"Push all the cabinets and chairs to the door!"

"Barricade that door firmly!"

"No matter what sounds you hear outside, absolutely do not open the door!"

Chen Xinyi's survival instinct kicked in at this moment.

She scrambled up from the floor and scurried to the door.

She locked the door and engaged the security chain first.

Then, she pushed the heavy vanity with all her might to block the door.

Creak!

The heavy solid wood furniture scraped against the floor, making a harsh sound.

Just as she managed to wedge the vanity behind the door.

Bang!

A loud crash slammed hard against the bedroom door.

The entire door shook violently, and dust from the door frame rained down.

"Chen Xinyi! You bitch!"

Zhou Kai's hysterical roar came from outside the door.

The voice didn't sound human at all; it sounded more like a demon crawling out of hell.

"How dare you look for other men behind my back!"

"And you dare to call the police?!"

"Open the door! Open it for me!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The repeated impact sounds struck Chen Xinyi's heart like heavy hammers.

With every impact, the seemingly sturdy door let out an unbearable groan.

Even the area around the lock had started to crack.

"Ah!!!"

Chen Xinyi broke down in tears, using all her strength to hold the vanity firmly in place.

"Go away! Get away!"

"Help! Someone save me!"

The over two hundred thousand viewers in the livestream held their breath.

The chat was moving too fast to read.

"Did she call the police? Why aren't the police here yet?"

"This door won't hold for long! That guy is crazy!"

"This is terrifying! Is this what a paranoid person is like?"

"Streamer, think of something!"

Su Yun watched the precarious door on the screen, his palms sweating slightly.

This was a livestream, after all.

If someone actually died, it would be a huge disaster.

But fortunately, he had already anticipated this step.

Back when the connection first started, he had sent a message to Qin Yumo using another phone.

And he had sent Chen Xinyi's address.

Calculating the time, they should be arriving soon.

"Chen Xinyi! Hold on!"

Su Yun called out into the microphone, his voice steady and powerful, injecting a glimmer of strength into the desperate girl.

"Don't be afraid! He can't get in!"

"Listen to me, the police are at the door!"

"You have to trust the police, and you have to trust me!"

The impacts outside the door became even more violent.

Zhou Kai seemed to be using his entire body to ram the door, accompanied by the screeching sound of metal scraping against wood.

That was him hacking at the door with the boning knife!

Crack!

A large hole was hacked into the position of the door lock.

A bloodshot eye peered through the hole, staring intently at Chen Xinyi inside.

"Found you..."

The chilling voice made the blood in Chen Xinyi's veins freeze.

Just at this critical juncture.

Woo! Woo! Woo!

A sharp, loud siren suddenly came from outside the window.

From far to near, it instantly pierced the night sky.
