In the dimly lit video, the stranger scanned his surroundings once before opening the fridge door and taking out a bottle of something to drink for himself.
The man acted as if he were in his own home. He didn’t seem the least afraid or nervous! For someone to act like this, it must be because he was used to breaking into homes or because he was completely unafraid of the family that lived in the house. Alternatively… he could have come prepared, which made it completely unnecessary for him to worry if Shen Zhilie and Ye Qianqian would pose a threat to him.
Shen Zhilie narrowed his amber eyes suspiciously and stared at the man. The man searched around the living room, and after he looked around once, he opened the door to the bedroom and seemed to go inside.
“Is there a surveillance camera in the bedroom?” Shen Zhilie asked.
Ye Qianqian immediately stood up and said, “Yes! Did he go in there?”
After Ye Qianqian stood up, she helped to switch the surveillance footage to the one in the bedroom. However, the moment she switched views, she was immediately greeted by an enlarged human face!
Caught off guard in the darkness, Ye Qianqian sprang up and fell backward. Shen Zhilie also jumped in fright, but he managed to react quickly and grab hold of Ye Qianqian before glancing at the cellphone in his hands.
The face in the cellphone was laughing maniacally, and Ye Qianqian yelped out, “Screenshot it! Screenshot it!”
Shen Zhilie managed to react and took several screenshots of the image. The man seemed fearless. With a grin, he pointed his middle finger at the camera before he opened his mouth and took out a white object to block the lens.
When Ye Qianqian saw this, she was instantly seized with fear. After having relaxed for an entire day, she was now extremely tense. “Old Shen…”
When Ye Qianqian spoke, it was clear from her voice that she was trembling and terrified. It was obvious that she was on the verge of tears, and it made Shen Zhillie’s heart ache.
He pursed his lips and pressed her against his chest as he comforted her, saying, “Don’t be afraid. I think it’s best to get your brother-in-law to help out with this matter.”
Li Jinnan was rather well-known and respected and thus would be in a rather significant position to speak to the local police. If they wanted the police to send men quickly, it would be better to have Li Jinnan voice the request. However, it was very late, and it was hard to gauge if he would still be awake.
“Don’t be afraid. I’ll make the call.”
Shen Zhilie took out his phone and called 110 before giving Li Jinnan a call. Thank heavens! Li Jinnan sounded wide awake and spirited.
When Shen Zhilie vaguely related the incident to Li Jinnan, the frown on Li Jinnan’s face deepened.
Ye Qianqian couldn’t help but sob softly as she said, “Will we die? What if that guy is a psychopath and simply wants to kill us?”
Shen Zhilie was in the middle of his call when he heard Ye Qianqian’s fearful question. His brows knitted together into a frown as he said, “Don’t let your imagination run wild. Li Jinnan, we’ll leave it to you, then.”
“Do you have the photo?”
“Yes.”
“Send it over to me. I’ll get my men to announce the order for this man’s arrest.”
“Sure. I’ll send it asap!” After Shen Zhilie hung up the phone, he sent the screenshot to Li Jinnan over WeChat.
He didn’t reply to him, but after around twenty minutes, he suddenly replied, “We’ll wait for news.”
“That was very fast and efficient!” Shen Zhilie secretly exclaimed, and when he realized that the woman in his arms was still trembling, he tightened his arms around her and said softly, “Don’t think about it. Go to sleep.”
However, it was impossible for Ye Qianqian to fall asleep now. She hugged Shen Zhilie tightly, and as she choked on her sobs, she said, “I’m afraid.”
