The 99th Divorce

Shen Zhilie thought it was quite funny, but he felt frustrated and defeated at the same time. He wanted to laugh out loud but couldn’t bring himself to do it. He said, “Why is it that I can’t even manage to change the topic? Honey, don’t be afraid. It’s going to be all right…”

Ye Qianqian still felt a little afraid. She raised her eyebrows and asked, “What if he comes back to look for me?”

“No, he can’t find you. Let’s go out to stay at a hotel for a few days first, and then we’ll come back and move when we find a new place.”

“Okay.” Ye Qianqian was still feeling a bit apprehensive deep down. She thought about it and went to have a look at the long-range surveillance camera that she bought before. She had bought it for fun, but she never used it.

It had two small cameras with a powerful night vision function. Although it wasn’t particularly expensive, and the resolution wasn’t very high, it was sufficient to ensure her safety.

Ye Qianqian plugged the two cameras in, one of which she placed on the shoe cabinet on the porch. The shoe cabinet itself was very high, with some ornaments placed on it. The small camera was put behind the ornaments, and its angle allowed it to capture the area of the entire living room.

“Camera monitoring?” Shen Zhilie looked at the small gadgets Ye Qianqian was playing with. He chuckled and said, “Is this kind of monitoring going to be of any use in the end?”

“It doesn’t matter whether it’s useful or not. Let’s use it. I just don’t feel very comfortable here otherwise.” Ye Qianqian looked at Shen Zhilie with apprehension in her eyes.

What had happened really terrified her. In all twenty-six years of her life, she had never encountered such a thing before. She used to think that this kind of thing couldn’t happen to her. However, when she encountered it, she suddenly realized that death was close. If she had bad luck, she could simply be walking down the road or going downstairs and likely get attacked, then pass away.

The more she thought about it, the more terrifying the world seemed to her. Ye Qianqian placed another small camera in the room. After looking for the right angle for quite some time, she finally decided to put it on top of the wardrobe. She connected it to the Internet. The mobile phone screen was able to capture movements in the entire room.

Shen Zhilie watched her rushing about with this business and decided to just let her be. He was just glad that she turned out to be all right!

After packing up a few clothes, Ye Qianqian took the computer with her. After double-checking all her valuable items, Ye Qianqian went out.

After she finished with the packing, Ye Qianqian called up Ye Youyou. Ye Youyou picked it up quickly. She seemed to be surprised to see that it was Ye Qianqian calling. “Sister?”

“Mm-hmm, Youyou, where are you?”

“I’m at home. Are you coming over? I just made a little cake. Come over and have a taste of it.” Ye Youyou suddenly recalled that it was Monday. “Do you have to go to work today?”

“I asked for a leave. Sobs. Youyou, I was scared to death just now!” Ye Qianqian began to complain, but she soon shut up and said, “How about I go to your house? Wait for me for a moment.”

“Well, come on.” Ye Youyou looked at the time. It was already past nine in the morning.

Shen Zhilie’s car had been in the garage for a long time. It hadn’t been driven for more than half a month and was covered with ash.

“I thought you drove the car. It’s such a waste,” said Ye Qianqian. “Let’s get it washed.”

“Well, get inside first.” Shen Zhilie opened the car door for her. Just when Ye Qianqian got in the car, Shen Zhilie felt that someone was staring at him. The feeling was fleeting. He looked around, but he couldn’t find anything that looked weird. The underground garage was very silent, with not a single person to be seen nearby.
