Chapter 254: You’ve seen it?
How does the saying go? Truth is stranger than fiction; Lin Yi originally intended to be a gentleman.
But unfortunately, just as he was about to put it back, the small lock on the little box unexpectedly popped open.
Probably because it wasn't actually locked.
As the tiny latch opened, there was a "click," and a stick-like object fell out.
His gaze instinctively followed it, and Lin Yi was suddenly dumbfounded.
Simultaneously, in his mind appeared the teaching equipment frequently used in Teacher Boduo's instructional videos over the years.
Indeed, this thing was none other than the legendary "Big Head, Big Head, No Worry for Rain"!
Perhaps out of shock or sheer impulse, Lin Yi picked it up to confirm he wasn't overthinking it.
The next moment, he reached out and grabbed it.
With a light press of the switch, a familiar buzzing sensation emanated from his hand.
"Holy shit! It really is teaching equipment!!"
Especially when he picked it up, Lin Yi was flabbergasted to find it was even forked.
My goodness, who knew this violent chick had such a side!
Imagining that beautiful yet fierce girl under a moonlit, windy night... No, stop right there, it's becoming inappropriate for younger audiences.
Shivering all over, he quickly repackaged the item and carefully put it back where it was.
Moreover, perhaps feeling guilty, he didn't throw it into the cardboard box.
He cast a glance at the delicate high heels beside him and decided not to bother.
Shimmying the cardboard box over to block the 'little box', he hastily shut the tailgate.
"Wow, guess you can't judge a book by its cover..."
Naturally, his sighs were just that, but Lin Yi understood well.
He had just looked at her ID and knew she was six years older than him.
At 25 or 26, it's the prime age to be as fierce as a wolf or a tiger...
Shaking his head hurriedly, he resolved not to dwell on such pointless thoughts. The more he thought about it, the urge to find Xiao Zihan grew.
Ring, ring~
But just as he stepped through the company door, his phone rang in his pocket.
Pulling it out, he saw it was an unknown number.
Still, Lin Yi had long been accustomed to it.
After all, there were too many people wanting to collaborate with him.
So, Lin Yi didn't give it much thought and answered the call right away.
Before he could speak, a cold woman's voice came through the phone:
"Where's my stuff?"
Hearing the somewhat familiar cold voice, Lin Yi instantly knew who it was.
He had just been holding someone's study tool, so there was no way he couldn't recognize her now.
Perhaps a bit guilty for this reason, he originally thought about giving her a cold shoulder; after all, she drove off with his car and went silent.
But now, somewhat sheepishly, he spoke up:
"You mean the stuff in the car? I tossed it in the trunk. Come to Zhaonuclear Group to pick it up if you have time!"
After hearing Lin Yi's words, there was a brief silence before a colder voice emerged when Lin Yi thought the line had disconnected:
"Did you look at the stuff in the trunk too?"
Upon hearing that, Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat, but he couldn't admit it. Although his mind was saying, "If you're right, why be scared?", his words didn't come out as strongly:
"Ahem, how would I know what's in your trunk? Everything from the front, I put in a box and tossed it in the trunk. If you want it, come get it; if not, I'll just throw it in the trash."
After another slight pause, she said, "I'll be there immediately," and hung up.
Although Ouyang Ying is only twenty-six, it's important to note that she spent two years on a task force.
Especially after studying criminal psychology in college, a few words are enough for her to extract the information she wants.
Even though Lin Yi had only said a sentence, she guessed he should have seen the items.
Based on their two interactions and briefly exchanged words, Ouyang Ying directly noticed a subtle change in Lin Yi's tone.
No matter how Lin Yi tried to act unaffected.
However, Lin Yi completely failed to detect this.
After hanging up, he congratulated himself for his quick thinking.
The distance to Ouyang Ying's workplace wasn't far, so it wouldn't take long; thus, Lin Yi, who had reached the entrance, turned back towards the parking lot.
Unconsciously, touching her teaching tool left him with a guilty conscience.
Before, he wouldn't have waited in the car, and even if she came, he wouldn't meet her so easily.
Sure enough, perhaps fearing Lin Yi would go check again if he hadn't noticed, Ouyang Ying reached the school entrance in just over ten minutes.
