517: Chapter 512: I’m So Envious of Yun Xinyan!
Having just kissed Ye Tian, Bai Lan’s face was flushed with excitement, as if she wanted more.
She immediately adjusted her mindset and glared angrily at the sleazy man in front of her!
“Was it you who poisoned me?”
Bai Lan accused the sleazy man, and as soon the passengers heard the mention of poisoning, they all moved away immediately.
The sleazy man looked at Ye Tian with a face full of surprise.
He had previously been a thief, adept at stealing money without detection, not to mention the simple act of injecting someone with a poisoned needle.
Moreover, hadn’t this man been continuously kissing Bai Lan just before?
How could his reaction be so quick?
“What nonsense are you spouting?
Although Ye Tian had caught him red-handed, the sleazy man still refused to admit to it.
“Still not admitting it?”
Ye Tian scoffed, then pointed with his toe to where the poisoned needle had fallen.
“The poison on this needle should be enough to kill a grown man.
If you still won’t admit it, then we can just search your briefcase to see if there’s anything incriminating inside!”
Not only was he caught red-handed, but the contents of his briefcase were also exposed.
How could the sleazy man have any chance to refute?
Frantic with rage, the sleazy man reached for Ye Tian’s neck, as if ready to fight to the death.
But the difference in their strengths was too great.
Before his hand even got close to Ye Tian, it was already caught by Ye Tian, whose grip was as strong as a vice, rendering the sleazy man’s hand immobile.
With a crisp sound, Ye Tian had actually crushed the sleazy man’s hand!
“Ahhhhhhhh~~~~~~~~~~~”
The sleazy man screamed in agony, but since all the passengers knew he was a bad character, nobody sympathized with him; they let him scream.
Seeing the sleazy man being brutally beaten by Ye Tian, Bai Lan also vented some rage.
This guy really got what he deserved!
“If you don’t tell the truth now, I will break all your limbs!”
Ye Tian continued to scoff coldly, his voice filled with iciness.
The sleazy man looked at Ye Tian as if he wanted to kill him.
Before Ye Tian, the sleazy man kowtowed repeatedly, confessing his crimes in front of all the passengers.
“I saw this woman was beautiful and wanted to have her, so I followed her every day.
During the crowded times on the bus, I used a silver needle to inject poison into her body.
This poison, when diluted, can control a person, and if used undiluted, it can kill instantly…”
The sleazy man’s crimes were numerous, and the passengers all wanted to beat him up.
Ye Tian loudly asked the bus driver, “Driver, where is the nearest police station?
I want to take this shameless creature there!”
The driver immediately replied, “It’s at the next stop, I’ll stop the bus then!”
While they were talking, the bus reached the stop.
Ye Tian, escorting the sleazy man and Bai Lan, got off the bus.
The police station was right before them.
Ye Tian took the sleazy man directly into the station, bringing the sleazy man’s briefcase, which contained deadly poison and naturally served as evidence.
In front of the police, the sleazy man once again confessed to his crimes.
It turned out that this sleazy man was named Li Dongfang, a released convict who had previously been imprisoned for theft.
Unexpectedly, after his release, he had stopped thieving and had become a pervert…
“People can change their environment, but not their nature, Officer.
People scum should not be allowed out to endanger society!”
Ye Tian shook his head as he spoke, and the police immediately replied, “Sir, rest assured on that point.
This guy hasn’t changed his ways, and this time, he won’t be getting out for a while!
On behalf of the police station, I thank you.
If it weren’t for you, this criminal might still be at large!”
After recording his statement, Ye Tian and Bai Lan left the police station.
By then, it had gotten completely dark outside.
“Ye Tian, thank you for catching the pervert for me.
Now, I won’t have to be afraid when I get off work!”
Bai Lan softly thanked Ye Tian, who waved his hand and said, “Lan, we’re practically family.
It’s what I should do!”
“It’s getting dark; you should hurry home to be with Yun Xinyan.
I’m not worried on my part!”
Bai Lan said reluctantly.
Ye Tian could certainly read her concerns.
“Lan, what do you take me for?
I, Ye Tian, am a gentleman.
It’s already late, and you’ve just emerged from the shadows of encountering a pervert.
How could I possibly bear to let you go home alone?”
Ye Tian’s words touched Bai Lan, and she didn’t refuse but silently nodded her head.
Since they were not far from Bai Lan’s home, the two of them didn’t take the bus but walked directly.
Bai Lan hung her head, unsure of what to say.
Under the moonlight, her face was flushed with embarrassment, and she dared not meet Ye Tian’s eyes.
Although they didn’t speak much along the way, Bai Lan still felt a sense of security.
For some reason, being with Ye Tian always made Bai Lan feel exceptionally reassured.
After a while, Ye Tian finally brought Bai Lan to her home!
Bai Lan’s home was just a small apartment, adequate for a single woman…
“Come in and have a seat!” Bai Lan warmly invited and passed a pair of slippers to Ye Tian, “They are my slippers, the size is a bit small, please don’t mind.”
As she spoke, Bai Lan went into the kitchen.
Unable to refuse such hospitality, Ye Tian couldn’t decline and he walked straight into the house.
Although the house was small, it was very tidy—evidently, the female lead, Bai Lan, had put a lot of effort into her home!
Ye Tian sat on the sofa for a while, and Bai Lan soon brought out two cups of coffee from the kitchen.
It wasn’t instant coffee, but made from ground coffee beans, exceptionally fragrant; Ye Tian, who was quite a connoisseur, knew that the coffee Bai Lan made was not something just anyone could taste.
“Lan, I didn’t know you had such skills?”
Ye Tian smiled, brought the coffee to his lips, and took a sip, feeling a fragrant aroma that left him longing for more.
Bai Lan sat down next to Ye Tian, sighed, and said, “These years I’ve been on my own.
I picked up the skill of making coffee, but never had anyone to share it with, until now.
Ye Tian, you visiting my home is a perfect chance for you to try it.”
Ye Tian didn’t hesitate and drank down a cup of coffee, instantly feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.
“Ye Tian, thank you…”
Bai Lan softly said, her eyes filled with gratitude.
“Lan, between you and me, why be so formal?”
Ye Tian said with a smile, as Bai Lan had thanked him many times, and he had grown callous to it.
“Even though it might sound tiresome to you, besides expressing my gratitude, I don’t know what else to say…
Ye Tian, at the company, you helped treat my gynecological disease, then you helped detoxify me, defended me from thugs when we played pool, and after work, you dealt with that pervert who was always staring at me…”
Bai Lan rambled on and on, unceasing in recounting all that Ye Tian had done for her, her words laden with nothing but gratitude.
Seeing Bai Lan’s emotions pour out, Ye Tian accepted them all!
“Lan, a great guy like me naturally has to help a coworker.
And since you’re so beautiful, who else would I help if not you?”
Bai Lan blushed slightly when Ye Tian complimented her on her beauty.
“Ye Tian, am I really that beautiful?”
“Of course!” Ye Tian nodded.
“Lan, not only are you beautiful, but you also have a stunning figure.
I think even Xinyan can’t compare to you.”
“But then, why am I still alone up to now?”
Rather than feeling happy, Bai Lan felt melancholic upon receiving Ye Tian’s praise.
She was no longer young, and while many men were interested in her, none of those she liked felt the same.
The only one she did like was already taken…
“Don’t worry, Lan, matters of fate like marriage, when it’s your time, you can’t escape it!
Lan, I believe you will definitely find a perfect match!”
Ye Tian said, comforting Bai Lan.
Looking at the time, he realized he had been at Bai Lan’s home for over half an hour.
“Lan, look at the time.
If I go back any later, Xinyan might get upset!”
As he spoke, Ye Tian stood up, and Bai Lan watched silently.
When Ye Tian reached the door, Bai Lan couldn’t hold back her feelings and suddenly embraced him from behind!
“Lan, what is this…?”
Being held by such a beautiful woman made Ye Tian feel a bit awkward, but Bai Lan did not let go.
She buried her face into Ye Tian’s back, and her voice was unusually soft as she spoke.
“Ye Tian, I envy Yun Xinyan so much!”
With just one sentence, Bai Lan fully expressed the emotions in her heart.
Although Bai Lan knew Ye Tian was a great man, unfortunately, he was already the husband of Yun Xinyan, the CEO of Yun Corporation, and she couldn’t get too close to him.
But she couldn’t stop her feelings, and that’s why Bai Lan ended up embracing Ye Tian from behind…
Perhaps realizing her actions were a bit much, Bai Lan quickly apologized, and Ye Tian smiled and didn’t mind.
“Lan, I’m heading out now!”
Bai Lan then let go and let Ye Tian leave her home.
Having left Bai Lan’s apartment, Ye Tian walked along the roads of the city; it was already late, and there were no buses, so he had to take a cab home.
However, just as Ye Tian was about to hail a cab, he heard a familiar voice!
—It was Liu Fei’er’s voice.
Although loud, due to the empty streets at night, there was no one to respond to Liu Fei’er’s calls for help.
