CHAPTER 564: CHAPTER 564: THE WINDOW PAPER NATURALLY BREAKS

Ye Chen only took one glance, but now, it was completely an uninhabited wilderness, all around were cultivated with agricultural crops, and it was clear that this should be a place that connects the city and countryside.

"This, what place is this?"

"This was where I used to hide. It’s impossible for me to hide in such a bustling part of the city, as that would easily draw attention from others. So, we have our own specific pattern for hiding."

As he spoke, Ye Chen nodded his head, understanding this point quite well. Then, he glanced at the time; it had only been 20 minutes since they got in the car.

However, Anying had clearly told him that it would take 40 minutes to enter, so it seemed that the next 20 minutes would have to be walked on foot.

Finally, the two walked through the crop field.

"Do you not feel any fear when you pass through here alone on ordinary days?"

"Hehe, I’ve gotten used to it. Moreover, for people like us in this profession, it is very normal to walk through places like this, so I have already gotten experience in this aspect, no worries at all."

"Is it just passing through this place?"

"Yes, turning here and then walking forward, we can reach the village. Actually, I rented a small courtyard in the village, so that place should be my hiding spot."

"I see, but then, if that’s the case, why didn’t we drive straight to the village? Why did we have to come to the crop field on the other side of the village?"

"I never walk through the village because it would draw attention from other people there, so I don’t want anyone to know that I’m living in this village."

"Isn’t this being too cautious?"

"It’s not being overly cautious; it’s about life. If I expose my whereabouts, how would I deal with all this?"

Ye Chen thought about it carefully, and it seemed to make sense.

After all, he wasn’t in this profession, so he felt somewhat unfamiliar when talking about these matters.

If that was the case, it seemed he could only continue to follow his direction and trust that he would eventually get results.

Unconsciously, the two had been walking for about 20 minutes and finally reached a rural path.

"Do you see? From here to the end, that’s the back of the village, and then, that place is where I am."

"I finally understand. In this way, you really won’t come into contact with anyone, and even the villagers living there won’t know that such a person has ever lived in the village."

"Right, all these are arrangements made for later matters. From here, if we go forward for about four to five minutes, we should get there. Let’s hurry."

While speaking, he continued walking forward.

After walking a distance with Anying, he looked back at Ye Chen, feeling like Ye Chen was following along but always seemed restless.

In fact, there was no need to ask too much, Anying knew what Ye Chen was thinking about at this time; he was certainly worrying about Lin Yaru.

"Don’t worry, didn’t they already say before? Lin Yaru’s identity and background are quite special, being the sole heir of the Lin Group. So, even if Yang Da holds her, he wouldn’t dare do anything to her."

"But I worry that Yang Da might become desperate and if he really harms Lin Yaru, I might never have peace of mind for the rest of my life."

"Hehe, are you genuinely worried, or have you really fallen in love with this woman?"

Upon this question, Ye Chen suddenly froze, then looked up at Anying.

"What do you mean?"

"Actually, I’ve told you before, our women’s intuition is very accurate. From the way you two interact and handle things, I can see that there already is a feeling between you two, just separated by a thin layer of window paper. I believe, once this window paper is pierced through, you two will be able to break through this barrier."

"Window paper? I remember, you once told me, you wanted to be the one to break it."

"Correct, that’s why, after this experience, I believe that layer of window paper will naturally break, and then the two of you can be together openly."

"All these are things for later, for now, even if I wanted to do this, it’s probably just wishful thinking. Whether she wants the same is another matter. Additionally, I still can’t fully understand her family background; maybe, we aren’t meant to tread the same path."

"Whether or not you tread the same path, that will be discussed in the future, so for now you can rest easy. These are just temporary difficulties, I believe, we’ll soon figure it out, and here we are."

While talking, the two of them had walked out of the rural path and then, he looked ahead; right in front of them was indeed an old, run-down farmhouse.

"This courtyard is really inconspicuous, next to it is a sewage ditch, and standing here, I can even smell the unpleasant odor coming from there."

"Why would you choose this place? And living here, don’t you get bothered by the smell?"

"I chose this environment exactly because it wouldn’t attract other people’s attention. Who would think that a person of status would hide here? Come, follow me."

While talking, they walked forward, then opened the courtyard gate and finally entered the courtyard.

At this moment, Anying stood there, then carefully observed the door lock and her frown deepened.
