Quick Wear: Another day of being criticized for falling in love at first sight

Chapter 1117 A Passerby Cannon Fodder in an Infinite Flow Dimension (Part 40)

Especially in this room, the delicate, sweet fragrance belonging to Miaomiao became even stronger, almost lingering in the air.

In the days they spent together before, he was obsessed with the unique fragrance, but never before had he been able to pinpoint her location so precisely by scent alone, and even vaguely sense her breathing and heartbeat.

This is a keenness born from extreme desire and restraint.

On the day they were separated, his worry and longing for Miaomiao almost drove him crazy, and every minute and every second was agonizing.

His mind went through countless analyses of Miao Miao's every smile and gesture during their time together, and even the scent on her body that he craved.

Countless analyses and countless recollections completely ignited his twisted possessiveness.

All he wanted to do was hold her tightly in his arms to make sure she was safe, but reason held him back.

After all, in the real world, their relationship only exists because of Tan Jiashu; one is Tan Jiashu's brother, and the other is his sister.

Essentially, they were still in a state of unfinished friendship. How could Xie Chenzhou dare to truly reveal his emotions? What if he frightened her and put her in danger?

What he wanted was her absolute safety and her absolute trust in him, even if she didn't like him, she should at least be willing to be with him alone.

Rather than risk a direct declaration of love and jeopardizing the relationship, it's better to approach each other in a different way...

The identity of "Officer Willie" gave him a perfect excuse.

He suppressed the surging longing and frantic desire in his heart, deliberately slowed his breathing, adjusted his posture, and lay straight on the bed as if he had been exhausted by the late night and was about to fall asleep. He even deliberately made a soft snoring sound.

He was like a lurking beast, his eyes closed, but all his senses were wide open, precisely capturing every movement in the room.

He knew that with Miaomiao's vigilance and decisiveness, she would not stay hidden in the shadows forever and would eventually take the initiative to investigate.

What he had to do was use her investigation to create an "unexpected" confrontation.

At least before they clarified their identities to each other, he could legitimately approach her with reasons unknown to the truth, even if it was just physical contact, which would be enough to soothe his torment and longing throughout the day.

He missed her so much, he was going crazy with longing!

But their relationship and the perilous situation they faced did not allow him to reveal even a trace of it.

Therefore, he could only use this almost obsessive method, under the cover of fighting, to greedily feel her presence and touch her body temperature, and slightly alleviate the longing in his heart.

Xie Chenzhou closed his eyes to rest, his body surrounded by an aura that seemed relaxed but was actually tense, quietly waiting for his "little prey" to approach him.

Meanwhile, Harris, who had already gone downstairs, was also carefully inspecting the inside and outside of the house after arriving on the first floor.

He was suddenly questioned until the early hours of the morning, and his eyes were already so tired that his eyelids were heavy, but he still didn't forget to check if there were any "potential dangers" around him.

Of course, because of Officer Willie, he would not open the cellar below to confirm whether his new wife was living peacefully down there, but he could investigate the surrounding clues.

Fortunately, everything was exactly the same as before he left, even the blanket on the floor was in its original place, and there was no other sound on the entire first floor except for his breathing.

After confirming that it was generally safe, Harris returned to his room on the first floor. The room was fully furnished, and even had a bulky computer that was rare even in the police station.

Harris turned on his computer and found the cellar video on the screen. Perhaps because he was too tired, he only glanced at the live monitoring.

The cellar on the screen was pitch black, with only a huddled figure on the mattress vaguely visible. Harris guessed that the wife, being physically disabled and having not eaten, had long since lost the strength to resist, and the children were sleeping peacefully, which was good.

They are a happy family of four, and that will never change!

After confirming that everything was on track except for Willie, Harris quietly opened the door a barely noticeable crack.

The house is safe, so the most dangerous thing now is the dirty dogs that come outside begging for shelter.

He curled his lips into a sinister smile. So what if Officer Willie really found some clues and wanted to search his house?

Aside from the cellar incident, he was very clean and virtuous.

And once he finds the cellar, he'll be just like those wives who want to escape or are even hysterical—none of them will come out alive.

Over the past few years, he had honed his killing skills to an unparalleled level through his encounters with several women, whether by blowing them up, stabbing them, strangling them, or cutting them in half...

Harris, lying in the room, had a rather frighteningly sinister expression, but no one present appreciated it.

Unbeknownst to him, the cellar he thought was safe enough was actually a trap set up to suspend him in mid-air. If Xie Chenzhou hadn't arrived, Harris would likely be hanging by his own neck by now...

Upstairs in the guest room, after Miaomiao silently counted to one thousand behind the window, the snoring of Officer Willie outside had become steady and continuous, and it didn't sound like a pretense.

Miaomiao's eyes sharpened, and without further hesitation, she quietly picked up another bundle of hemp rope she had found earlier from the corner and held it in her hand.

She moved with utmost lightness, as silently as a cat, toward the bedside, preparing for a quiet confrontation.

Miaomiao's plan was simple: first, she would gag the "Officer Willie" to prevent him from shouting and attracting the attention of the downstairs mosaic, and then tie him up to find out his identity and purpose.

If he's a good person, cooperate with him to deal with Mosaic; if he's in cahoots with Mosaic, then don't blame her for being ruthless—crippling an NPC is better than getting yourself killed.

Miaomiao held her breath and approached the bedside step by step. As she got closer, she could even see the fine downy hairs on the man's face.

Just as she raised the rope, preparing to bend down and start working, the man who had been "sleeping" suddenly opened his eyes!

There was no trace of sleepiness in those eyes, only a deep, unfathomable calm and sharpness.

Miaomiao was startled and was about to back away when her wrist was grabbed by the other person.

Immediately afterwards, a warm, large hand unexpectedly covered her mouth first, silencing all her screams.

"Shh!"
