FYLMT CH 17

Chapter 17 – Intimidation

After some time, she gradually accepted her brother’s scolding. He was right. When she thought about it, during high school, she devoted herself to studying, maybe she didn’t care about these kind of things. And also, Xu Chang was too good, how could she even think about that? How dare she think about it? The gap between her and Xu Chang is too big, they are opposite apart. She thought that only girls like Zhao Cancan is worthy of him.

Perhaps Xu Chang was blinded for a while, and accidentally liked her. But what about it? Ten years have already passed. In the past ten years, both of them have undergone tremendous changes, experienced different lives, and walked on parallel roads that do not intersect.

They haven’t seen each other for ten years. Qin Xiangnan misunderstood him and Xu Chang must be the same.

Thinking of this, Qin Xiangnan was relieved.

No, Xu Chang is not the same as he was back then. If she keeps on holding on to this matter, she can no longer face Xu Chang.

Ten years later, she was fortunate enough to meet him again, maybe they could still be friends. If they were going to cross the gap, they might not even be able to stay friends.

She decided not to take this matter to heart and need to forget it as soon as possible.

The quickest solution is to focus on work.

This is how she has been over the years. As long as you work hard, you can forget about any unhappy and troublesome things.

Now that the summer season has started, the days are getting hotter. Qin Xiangnan still needed to go out to work from time to time. These days, she felt that she has tanned a lot.

That day, she dragged her tired body and went home form work.

She pulled out her keys from her bag and accidentally brought out a small thing from her bag by the hook of the key holder, and the key accidentally fell on the ground.

Qin Xiangnan bent down to pick it up. She glanced at the doorstep, there seemed to be a white object. She looked closely and found that a white envelope was lying on the ground, half jammed and half exposed outside the door. She picked up the key and the envelope.

Taking a closer look, the crooked writing on the envelope read:

Qin Xiangnan’s collection.

Qin Xiangnan couldn’t think of anyone that would give this letter to her in this particular way.

It felt thin, maybe a piece of paper was inside.

When she opened the door and went in, she opened the envelope.

There was a photo inside. The photo was new.

It seemed like the photo was only taken today. In the photo was Qin Xiangnan herself. The clothes are the same as what she was wearing today, the bags and shoes were also the same.

It’s a picture that was taken when she walked out of the building this morning!

Who took this? Who was so bored that they took a photo of her and stuffed it under her door?

Qin Xiangnan guessed that it was just a small prank.

She set it aside, not thinking much.

But the next day and the third day, she went home on the evening and receive similar pictures that was taken the day it was sent. She started to get nervous, feeling that things didn’t seem as simple as she thought.

She studied the handwriting on the envelope. The other person wrote the words with a black pen. The handwriting was not beautiful, but it was written with strength and printed in large size.

Except for these words, the rest of the envelope was white without any marks.

Who took this picture? Why did they do this?

It is a little scary when she thought about it but it didn’t really cause her harm. She wants to wait and see what this person wants to do. If it was a prank or not…

When she went out on the fourth day, she deliberately observed the surroundings carefully. It seemed that there was nothing abnormal and there were no suspicious person. It was strange. Maybe the person was just playing a prank and got tired?

Qin Xiangnan was busy for the whole day and didn’t think about it until she came back from work that night. She started to think as soon as she entered the corridor. Will there be any pictures today?

She went up to the third floor and went to the doorstep of her apartment. She found out that there were no white envelope but a small box instead.

Qin Xiangnan was surprised. Is there a new trick today? Who is so bored?

She carefully observed that the box was not small, and the size could fit a ball. Above the box, there was a written word “Qin Xinganan” on a black pen. In addition, there was an ordinary yellow cardboard box.

She took the key out of her bag, opened the door, and held the box with both hands.

It’s not heavy. What’s in it?

She suddenly smelled a strange scent, a little fishy, like… blood?

She was startled, and immediately out the box on the ground. She was afraid to bring it into the house.

What… what is it…

Out of curiosity and wanting to found out the truth, she decided to open the box.

She took out a scissor, stood as far away as possible, and carefully opened the sealed box.

A little slowly, the box was fully opened, she moved a little forward, extended her head, and peeped inside.

At a glance, she saw a fluffy white thing, and when she looked closer, “Ah!” She screamed, fled into the house, and slammed the door shut.

She leaned against the door, covering her chest, panting heavily, and face pale.

She saw it. It was a bloody white dead cat. She also saw the eyes of the cat that was staring wide at her.

Is this intimidation? Someone took her picture to show her on purpose, and then today they took a cat to scare her. She must call the police! This is terrible!

She found her cell phone in horror. At the moment, a strange phone call came in.

She answered it.

“Is this Qin Xiangnan?” It was a man’s voice, which was strange and familiar, as if she heard it somewhere but she couldn’t remember where.

“Yes, who are you?” Her heartbeat was beating fast.

“Did you receive it?” The voice was weird and terrifying, making her feel chills on her back.

“Who are you? Why are you doing this?”

“Aren’t you fond of taking photos? Do you still like cats? Oh, I forgot to tell you, did you recognize the cat? The other day, you saw it and fed it some food. Since you like it, then I’ll give it to you! Haha!”

This man is a pervert! He secretly took photos of her, and even killed a stray cat!

“What the hell do you want?! I’ll call the police!”

“You report it! Even the police can’t control me, hahaha! I’m downstairs in your house right now, should I go up and find you?”

Qin Xiangnan didn’t want to continue with this perverted nonsense. The more she listens, the more she is afraid. She ended the call and called the police immediately!

She then secretly opened the curtains and looked downstairs. Under the big tree, there was a faint shadow! When he saw Qin Xiangnan looking at him, he hid behind the tree.

Her heart almost jump to her throat, someone was really watching her! She closed all the widows and tightened the curtains. Sitting on the couch, she was restless and didn’t know when the police came.

After thinking, she called Qin Xiangbei.

After the phone beeped twice, it was immediately connected.

“Qin Xiangbei, where are you? Can you come over?” She said, her voice anxious.

“I’m on duty. What happened?”

“It seems like I’m being stalked by a pervert. He just put a dead cat in front of my house. I’m a little scared. But I’ve already called the police. You should continue with your work. The police will come soon.”

“Are you all right? Would you like me to take a time off?”

“No, the police should be here soon. It’s okay.”

“Then you must be careful. If someone knocks on the door, you should see who it is first before opening.”

“Okay.” After making the call, Qin Xiangnan was still uneasy. She couldn’t figure out who she provoked but the voice was familiar…

Why is the police not here yet?

After waiting for ten minutes, she finally heard an eager knock on the door which made her shocked! She grabbed a pair of scissors that she used when she opened the box.

Was the police her or…

She stroked her chest and slowly walked towards the door. The knock on the door seemed eager, getting louder and louder…

“Who is it?” Her voice shuddered.

No one answered her She was scared, and the silence at the moment made her feel an ominous hunch. She then asked loudly again: “Who is it?”

“I’m… Xu Chang…”

Xu Chang? Qin Xiangnan couldn’t believe her ears.

“Are you really Xu Chang?” She tried to confirm again.

“It’s me. Open the door.”

The voice was really him!

She opened the door and saw that Xu Chang was standing in the dim light outside the door, his eyes were as dark as the expression on his face. Qin Xiangnan could see that he was anxious.

“How are you?”

Until she saw Xu Chang with her own eyes, she couldn’t believe it.

“Are you okay? Your brother told me about your situation.”

Oh, that was it. Qin Xiangnan looked at him steadily…

At the moment, Qin Xiangnan had a pale face, holding a scissor on her hand, her eyes were dull.

Xu Chang looked at her and said, “Can I come in?”

“Come in now.” The scissor on her hand were tightly grasped.

When Xu Chang walked in and looked at her like this, he felt that she was very cute. He held back a smile.

“Such a small pair of scissors, do you want to cut the flowers?”

Qin Xiangnan realized that she was still holding the scissors in her hand, she then threw it away immediately, smiling awkwardly.

“What do you want to drink? I have some…” There is seemed to be nothing at home as she was too busy. “There is boiled water…” It was the only drink available.

“Okay.” He said with a smile.

It’s hard not to dislike him!

When Qin Xiangnan was preparing to boil the water to entertain the guest, someone knocked on the door again.

The two looked at each other. Qin Xiangnan was not as nervous as she was just now because Xu Chang was there.

“I’ll open the door. Don’t move.” Xu Chang looked at her and said it.

“Well, does that… Do you need scissors?” She was a little embarrassed. Is it better than none? The scissors can also be used for self defense.

By chance, Xu Chang laughed and said nothing. Then he smiled and opened the door.

Qin Xiangnan looked nervously outside the door.

This time, it was really the police!

Standing at the door was Captain Huang and the little policeman that she had met before.

Captain Huang was surprised to see Xu Chang opening the door.

“Does Qin Xiangnan live here?” Captain Huang asked.

Qin Xiangnan saw that the man was the police officer and ran over.

“Captain Huang, it’s a coincidence. I ran into you every time.” Qin Xiangnan said.

“It’s really you, Reporter Qin! I thought the name was familiar!”

Captain Huang looked at Xu Chang again, and saw that he still had plaster attached to his hand. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he came to a realization. “Isn’t this Dr. Xu? It turns out that Dr. Xu is your boyfriend?”

…

Qin Xiangnan wanted to say no, but the little policeman found the dead cat on the box at the door.

“Reporter Qin, was the dead cat sent by the suspect?” The little policeman looked at the box in horror.

“Yes. When I came back from work, I saw the box on the doorway.” She said.

“Okay, then we’ll take it back to investigate. By the way Reporter Qin, when we came in, we didn’t see anyone outside. We may need to investigate the surrounding, and we can draw a conclusion after checking it.” Captain Huang said.

“Thank you, Captain Huang. Oh yes, there’s one more thing.” Qin Xiangnan hurried into the room and took out the three envelopes from the drawer in the living room. “Captain Huang, these are what I received the first three days. I saw it on the door when I came home at night.”

Captain Huang looked at the three photos on the envelope and said angrily: “This pervert! He dared to sneak a photo of you! Reporter Qin, rest assured, we must catch this suspect as soon as possible. If there is nothing else, we’ll go first.”

“Captain Huang, I’ve really troubled you this time.” Qin Xiangnan said gratefully.

Captain Huang laughed a little and said that it was all right.

“We didn’t catch the suspect today. I’m still a little worried that Reporter Qin is not safe at home. However, we can rest assured when Dr. Xu is here.”

Qin Xiangnan repeatedly said yes.

Captain Huang and the little policeman accepted the case, and did not forget to investigate as soon as possible before leaving.

After they left, Qin Xiangnan closed the door.

Suddenly, there was a distinguished guest at home.

She glanced at Xu Chang, feeling that the atmosphere was a bit wrong. She touched her hair. She then said, “Xu Chang, it’s all right. You can rest assured and go home.”
