Seeing Xia Yue Shan nodding in acknowledgment, Lin Yu continued to ask:

"Then am I deceiving you to pursue your sister?"

"You must have seen that with your sister's current attitude towards me, it would be easy for me to pursue her."

"But until today, I haven't made any intimate moves towards her."

"Xia Yue Shan, whether you believe it or not, I don't like your sister."

"Although your sister is pretty and has a good figure, she's not my type. I prefer the pure and cute girl type."

"And to say something a bit shameless..."

"Given your sister's age, it would be like she's robbing the cradle if I were to date her."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yue Shan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly nodded in agreement, saying:

"What you said is indeed quite shameless."

Lin Yu, keeping his composure, gave him a hard knock on the forehead, ignoring Xia Yue Shan's howl of pain, he continued:

"So think about it, why would I go through all this trouble to come to your house for dinner every day?"

"I'm not after money or lust, so I can't possibly be traveling all this way to your house every day just for a meal, right?"

Holding his head and grimacing in pain, Xia Yue Shan had to admit, albeit unwillingly, that Lin Yu's words were reasonable.

Just like in crime investigation TV shows, when the police are eliminating suspects, they always look for a key point, which is the criminal's motive.

Most premeditated crimes have a motive.

Whether it's for money, lust, or revenge, there's always a reason.

From what he could see, apart from the dinner every night, Lin Yu didn't seem to have taken anything from him or his sister.

Thinking of this, Xia Yue Shan looked up at Lin Yu, his face drooping, and apologized in a low voice:

"I'm sorry, Brother Lin Yu, I shouldn't have doubted you."

Seeing Xia Yue Shan apologize, Lin Yu didn't feel the slightest bit of joy from winning the argument. Instead, he felt more melancholy. He sighed and patted Xia Yue Shan's head, pouring out his heartfelt words like beans.

"Xia Yue Shan, actually, even if you hadn't come to find me just now, I would have come back to find you."

"Your sister is a very good person, I wouldn't just sit by and let a tragedy happen because of a moment's anger."

"As for when that disaster will come, I'm sorry, I don't know."

"If I knew, I wouldn't need to go through all this trouble to do so many things."

"I could just stake out in advance, and when the bad guy appears, I could kick him to death and it would be over."

"And do you know?"

"I really hate eating fish, especially freshwater fish. No matter how I cook it, I can always taste a disgusting earthy smell. Every dinner at your house is a torture for me."

"Ah."

Xia Yue Shan was surprised and said weakly:

"But my sister said you love fish the most, and you eat a lot of fish every night."

"I have no choice."

Lin Yu spread his hands and said helplessly:

"I lied that I love eating fish in order to get close to your sister and protect her like I do now."

"Now I have to pay for my lie."

Xia Yue Shan pursed his lips, his whole face wrinkled, looking even more guilty.

"Alright, let's go back."

Lin Yu patted his shoulder and said:

"Go back and stay with your sister more, protect her well."

"You, will you come tomorrow?"

Xia Yue Shan's voice was aggrieved, as if he was afraid that Lin Yu would be angry and no longer care about his sister.

"Of course I will."

Lin Yu grinned at Xia Yue Shan and said:

"I can't trust your sister's safety to you, you little dummy."

"Alright, go home."

Lin Yu urged Xia Yue Shan to go home again, and then planned to turn around and leave.

Before he could turn around, he paused. Lin Yu thought for a moment and felt that since they had already talked so much, it wouldn't hurt to let Xia Yue Shan know a little more.

Looking at Xia Yue Shan, who was about to turn around and leave with a drooping face, Lin Yu called out to him and said in a solemn tone that he had never used before:

"Xia Yue Shan, destiny is something that no one can figure out."

"You may think that we have taken so many preventive measures so far, but they may not necessarily be effective."

"Even what we're doing now might be fueling the fire, unknowingly giving a push to the bad thing that might happen."

"These are all uncertain things."

"What should we do?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Yue Shan anxiously asked:

"Is there no way to ensure my sister's safety?"

Looking at Xia Yue Shan, who seemed to regard him as a lifesaver, Lin Yu slowly shook his head and said regretfully:

"I'm sorry, there isn't."

"What we can do now is to do our best, carefully observe every detail in life, and stay 100% vigilant when something unreasonable happens."

if there's only a slight inconsistency in something, or even if it seems reasonable, you can't let your guard down."

"Perhaps only in this way can we have a chance to beat it."

Saying this, Lin Yu extended his index finger, pointing towards the star-studded night sky.

Xia Yue Shan looked up at the sky, and after lowering his head, his expression became extremely serious. He nodded heavily and said:

"I understand."

...

"Bamboo, what are you doing?"

Sun Tao, who was lying on the bed playing with her phone, looked up and asked.

"I can't find my wallet."

Xia Mu Zhu, who was walking around the bedroom, flipping things here and there, said with a frown.

"Ah?"

"Did you lose your wallet?"

Sun Tao jumped up from the bed, asking worriedly:

"When did you lose it?"

"I don't know, I clearly used it when I went shopping yesterday."

Xia Mu Zhu lifted the goose-yellow desk lamp on the bedside table, glanced under the lamp base, and after not seeing the familiar wallet, she put the lamp down and said.

"Could it be under the lamp?"

"You silly girl."

"What does the wallet look like?"

"I'll help you find it."

Sun Tao rolled off the bed and looked at Xia Mu Zhu, asking.

"It's a porcelain blue rectangular small leather bag with a gold buckle."

Xia Mu Zhu briefly described the appearance of the wallet, and Sun Tao immediately joined the search party.

The two of them flipped and searched, and it was only after Sun Tao had flipped the mattress for the third time without finding the wallet that they finally accepted the fact that the wallet was lost.

"Was there anything valuable in the wallet?"

Sun Tao turned to look at Xia Mu Zhu, asking worriedly.

Xia Mu Zhu thought for a moment and nodded, saying:

"Yes."

"All three of my bank cards are in the wallet, along with a few thousand yuan in cash, and my ID card is also in the wallet."
