Break-in!_1 The house that Dongfang Linglong rented was a three-bedroom, two-living room apartment, located on the eighteenth floor of the Hengtian Huafu. The Dongfang family holds a great deal of power in both the political and business spheres in China, and Dongfang Linglong is far from lacking in funds. Normally, she wouldn’t rent a house to live in. However, Dongfang Linglong was delegated by the family to carry out specific tasks at the local level; there was no need for her to buy a house in Yan City. Hengtian Huafu is a newly built residential building, all fitted with elevators. Located near the picturesque Xiangjiang River, the price per square meter was considered extremely high in Yan City, usually around 6000 yuan. Upon opening the door, Dongfang Linglong, exhausted, collapsed on the sofa. She turned on the TV remote and idly watched the chattering programs, not wanting to move an inch. Today had been an utterly horrible day for Dongfang Linglong! She had never thought the criminal police and armed police of the entire Yan City would one day be played around by that hateful throat-cutter. To be led around indiscriminately, like headless flies, by this man? “Damn! So damn hateful!” Dongfang Linglong pounded several times on the cushion, harboring deep hatred towards the mysterious throat-cutter. This man had committed eight crimes in a row in Xiangnan Province, with methods that were horrifying. The women who fell victim to him met with tragic ends. “I am in a terrible situation, but lucky for that girl Purple Jade. Today, she got through it pretty well without being teased by the guy behind the throat-cutting.” As these thoughts crossed Linglong’s mind, there emerged an image of a handsome, cool-looking face. To herself, she thought, “I wonder what sort of person Lv Zhong is. Uncle Zhao seems to trust him a lot. He said he could find the throat-cutter, is that true?” Remembering how Zhao Ziyu hurriedly rushed over to City No.1 High School today after receiving a call from her uncle, Zhao Yuanyi, Dongfang Linglong became somewhat curious. From the mouth of Zhao Ziyu, she was led to believe that Lv Zhong possessed magical medical skills. But that wasn’t enough to satisfy her curiosity. She wanted to know how Lv Zhong would assist the police in catching the throat-cutter. Just as she was about to pick up her mobile phone and call Zhao Ziyu to inquire more about Lv Zhong, her phone suddenly began to buzz with an incoming call. Because they were previously engaged in capturing the throat-cutter, all police phones were set to vibrate. Dongfang Linglong glanced at the caller ID on her phone and saw that Zhao Ziyu was calling. She hurriedly picked up, to hear Zhao Ziyu’s eager voice on the other end of the line, “Sister Linglong, are you home yet?” Speak of the devil and he shall appear! Dongfang Linglong cracked a tiny smile and replied, “Just got home. By the way, you’re lucky you weren’t at Zhongtian Star City, otherwise, you would’ve been led around like the rest of us…” “Sister Lingling? You really are at home? Then I can rest easy.” It seemed as though Zhao Ziyu let out a sigh of relief, cheering on the other end of the line. “Little girl, why does it matter if I’m home or not?” Dongfang Linglong then chuckled, “I am a police officer, and I drove home, I should be safe. You have nothing to worry about. Don’t forget, my combat skills are not weak.” “No! We are currently tracking the throat-cutter, and Lv Zhong said he first went to Zhongtian Star City, then to Laoxiyuan Market, and even to Pingyue Park. Now he’s heading towards Dongjiang Avenue and the old campus of Yancheng Normal University. I’m worried that he’s following you…” Zhao Ziyu anxiously called out from the other end of the phone. What?! Dongfang Linglong, startled, felt a chill run down her spine. She quickly asked, “You mean you’re with Lv Zhong right now? Where are you guys? How do you know where that man is?” “We’re on our way to Lianhu Square by car, we’ll be at your place soon. By the way, Lv Zhong is right next to me. Oh no, he says the throat-cutter has already infiltrated into Hengtian Huafu. Be careful, we’re rushing over immediately. Also, our armed police force is also on their way. Okay, I gotta go. If anyone knocks on your door, don’t open it. Remember, he knows advanced disguise techniques, even more advanced than Ah Zhu’s from Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils…” Dongfang Linglong was left dizzy from what she heard, she started to suspect whether Zhao Ziyu had been drinking. What a joke. She and Lv Zhong are still in Lianhu Road, how could they know that the throat-cutter had already snuck into Hengtian Huafu? How could this be possible? To think that Lianhu Road is a direct distance of five to six miles from Hengtian Huafu. Even if they had the fabled “Thousand-Mile Eye”, they couldn’t possibly see what was happening that far away, could they? After all, the city is full of high-rise buildings. Who is Lv Zhong? How could he see so far? Could it be that he has a “Thousand-Mile Eye” and “X-ray Vision”? Moreover, is there really such an incredible disguise technique in this world? That’s just far fetched! Dongfang Linglong shook her head slightly, a smile full of disbelief spread across her face, “Little Jade, what nonsense are you spouting? You’re not drunk…” But before she could finish her sentence, the call had already ended. “That girl must be drunk!” Dongfang Linglong muttered incredulously. She knew very well that Zhao Ziyu really liked to drink, and when she got drunk, she would often start talking nonsense. She had been lying on the sofa for a while now. Dongfang Linglong hadn’t had any proper food for lunch or dinner today, and now she was starting to feel a little faint from hunger. Hearing that Zhao Ziyu was coming over, she put her mobile phone on the sofa, stood up, and prepared to make some food. Just at that moment, she stopped in her tracks. Instead of heading towards the kitchen, she stood still, listening intently. Footsteps! Although faint, there was no doubt that these were footsteps. Not from outside, but Dongfang Linglong could tell that they were heading towards her apartment door. Who could it be? Could it really be the throat-cutter that Zhao Ziyu had spoken about? Did he really follow her to Hengtian Huafu? “Knock knock knock…” A series of soft knocks could be heard, and in the quiet night, they easily reached inside the apartment. “Could it really be the throat-cutter?” A wave of confusion surged through Dongfang Linglong’s mind. But there was a mix of thrill and fear; she calmly moved towards the door. Through the peephole of the door, what Dongfang Linglong saw was a playful smiling face right before her. It was a face she was quite familiar with! It was her! It was Zhao Ziyu! “Damn it, you brat trying to scare me!” Dongfang Linglong scolded and flung open the door, ready to mess around with Zhao Ziyu. But at that moment, she sensed something was off! Because at that time, Zhao Ziyu was dressed in men’s clothes, men’s shoes. And this person was five to six centimeters shorter than Zhao Ziyu! Disguise Technique! Dongfang Linglong immediately recalled Zhao Ziyu’s warning earlier. She turned pale, just as she was about to speak, the figure darted in like lightning. A large hand veined with bulging muscles was already tightly clutched around her beautiful, graceful neck.
