Chapter 31: The Lily in Bloom

"How do you know?"

Shang Aiting's finger shook, and the ashes fell on the smooth floor, but she didn't care anymore, staring at Lin Xiangcheng, and even breathing became a little quicker.

Even with Xie Yuanliang's promise, she had a half-believing attitude towards Lin Xiangcheng, and it was not until then that she finally believed that the latter had the ability to solve the nightmare.

After all, she never told others about the content of the nightmare, but Lin Xiangcheng could tell the habit of the terrifying monster in one word. At the end of the nightmare, the monster did tighten her neck with tentacles every time.

Xia Wei, who was sitting next to her, couldn't help but look at Lin Xiangcheng in surprise.

"In your dream, how many monsters are there in total?" Lin Xiangcheng asked without answering.

"One end... maybe more, I don't know. Even if there are plural monsters, I can't tell it at all." Shang Aiting rubbed his forehead, staring at Lin Xiangcheng with bloodshot eyes, "You have a way to solve my problem, right?"

"Maybe, I can't guarantee that it will be solved." Lin Xiangcheng said slowly.

According to Shang Aiting's description, the monster that appeared in her nightmare should be an evil small predator called the throat-locking monster. The creature level of this monster is generally around level 3. If there is only one, it can be easily solved with Lin Xiangcheng's strength and Udon.

But if the number rises to two or three, it will be a bit difficult, and if it is more, he can only protect himself.

"Please, as long as you can prevent me from having nightmares, you can pay me as much as you want!" Shang Aiting's eyes faintly showed a plea.

She hasn't been in the eyes for more than 60 hours, and she relies on coffee to refresh herself. In the past month, she had extremely poor sleep quality. Every time she woke up from a nightmare, she was sweating all over and had a long time to recover. The long-term torture made her fall into a state of depression and anxiety, and even affected her work, and had to take leave to stay at home.

If she continues like this, she suspects that she will go crazy first before she dies suddenly.

So after confirming that Lin Xiangcheng might have a way to solve the problem, Shang Aiting's shell that was difficult to maintain was immediately broken, and his weak side was revealed.

"I'll do my best." Lin Xiangcheng nodded.

Shang Aiting took a few quick breaths, suppressing her inner urgency, and whispered: "What do I need to do?"

Lin Xiangcheng was about to answer when the sound of the door being knocked suddenly sounded, interrupting their conversation.

At the same time, you could vaguely hear a voice outside shouting, as if it was a woman.

"Aiting, Aiting, are you at home? Open the door quickly."

Hearing this voice, Shang Aiting immediately frowned, saw Lin Xiangcheng and Xia Wei coming to question, and explained in a low voice: "It's a fellow villager of mine."

"You are not local?" Xia Wei asked curiously.

"I have been in Qingyang City before. I was transferred to Tianxin City four months ago because of work needs."

Qingyang City is next to Tianxin City.

Shang Aiting looked very unwilling to pay attention to the person knocking on the door, but she had no choice but to shout and knock on the door. Finally, she frowned and stood up and walked towards the entrance.

A moment later, Shang Aiting walked back, followed by a girl in her twenties with beautiful facial features and a healthy body.

"Aiting, don't be angry, I'm very worried about you..."

Halfway through her words, she suddenly noticed Lin Xiangcheng and Xia Wei in the living room and said in a daze: "Who are they?"

"Who they are has nothing to do with you, Yanzhu, if you have nothing to do, hurry back, I have something to do." Shang Aiting sat back on the sofa, without looking at He Yanzhu, frowned and rubbed her temples hard.

He Yanzhu seemed to have never heard of Shang Aiting's words of expelling guests. She squatted down in front of her step by step, looking at her haggard face with distress, "Aiting, why are you not accustomed to this kind of environment?"

Are you not accommodating to the local conditions? Tianxin North District and Qingyang City are only less than 200 kilometers apart. Lin Xiangcheng looked at He Yanzhu's expression and movements and always felt that there was something subtle.

"I'm fine." Shang Aiting breathed, suppressing the irritability between her eyebrows and said lightly, "You can't help me even if you stay here. You'd better go back, you have to go to work, right?"

"You are not as important as your work, Aiting, I can't rest and take care of you."

"No, I even called the nanny away."

"But I can't rest assured that you are alone at home!"

"I'm not used to living at home with one more person."

"I, I won't bother you, Aiting, please..."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Lin Xiangcheng and Xia Wei's eyes gradually became strange. Seeing this, even the blind man could see that the relationship between the two was not ordinary, especially He Yanzhu, whose love and care between her eyebrows were almost unconcealed.

In most men's minds, the scene of two beautiful women in close contact is very attractive. This is the same as some women think that two handsome men in close contact are very beautiful, but most people do not realize that the premise of this mentality is that they can join in at any time.

As if he noticed the eyes of Lin Xiangcheng and the others, Shang Aiting couldn't help but raise his voice: "I said, Yan Zhu, I don't need anyone to take care of you. Go back, I still have guests to receive."

"Then tell me who they are?" He Yanzhu looked at Lin Xiangcheng and Xia Wei with a cautious look.

Shang Aiting frowned and showed an impatient look. Lin Xiangcheng did not intend to let them continue the argument, so he simply took the initiative to say: "I am Lin Xiangcheng of Sunflower Firm. This time I came to solve Ms. Shang's trouble."

"Firm?" He Yanzhu quickly reacted, "You are a private detective!"

She looked at Shang Aiting in shock, "Aiting, you, you won't be confused, right? Even if you want to treat a nightmare problem, you should go to the doctor. Why did you find a private detective? What can they help you?"

Xia Wei raised her brows and snorted, "When you think about it, you will know that if you see a doctor, you will still look like this? Since we can sit here, it means that the master recognizes our ability. However, you, you can't do anything, but you keep pestering us here, delaying our work."

"Who, who is pestering me!" He Yanzhu glared at Xia Wei.

Xia Wei glared back without fear, hugged her hands in front of her chest, and snorted coldly: "Now I have to add a lack of self-knowledge!"

"I think you are liars. I have never heard of private detectives who can cure diseases!" He Yanzhu stood up angrily, and even Lin Xiangcheng took his anger together, staring at the two of them with fierce eyes, "With me here, don't expect to deceive Aiting, don't be afraid to tell you, I'm a karate black belt. If you don't leave now, don't blame me for giving you some trouble!"

"Haha, by chance, I have practiced Taekwondo, why don't we use the same trick?" Xia Wei moved her shoulders.

He Yanzhu's face immediately became gloomy. She took a deep breath and simply took off her coat.

"Okay, I'll let you see the power of karate!"

After the words came, she had already stepped forward and grabbed Xia Wei's wrist.

Xia Wei curled her lips and was about to take action. Lin Xiangcheng kept pressing her shoulders. Before she could come back to her senses, the latter had already taken a step forward and blocked her, and crossed her arms to support Xiang He Yanzhu's palm.

Lin Xiangcheng is quite familiar with fighting skills. He knew at a glance that He Yanzhu used the grappling and throwing skills in karate. Once he was caught, he would either flip over and receive his body, or be locked and pressed to the ground. This is how the promotional video explained, but unfortunately it did not say what to do if the other party was disobedient.

He Yanzhu's palm suddenly stopped when it was several centimeters away from Lin Xiangcheng's arm. No matter how hard he tried, he could not go further. Instead, as Lin Xiangcheng exerted force, he shook his whole body retreated several steps and almost fell to the ground without leaning back.

After stabilizing her body, she looked up at Lin Xiangcheng, her eyes full of horror and disbelief.
