"what?"

Hearing that Feng Lan was holding a knife, Lin Xiaoyu became even more nervous.

"Rui Rui, you must be careful. I'll be there soon."

After hanging up the phone in a hurry, Lin Xiaoyu jogged to the side of the road to get a taxi. When she arrived at the store, the scene in front of her stunned her.

The newly renovated shop had been smashed into a mess. Not only was the glass broken all over the floor, but even the samples on the shelves were thrown all over the place.

After looking around and not seeing Feng Lan, Lin Xiaoyu walked cautiously towards the utility room.

Hearing the footsteps getting closer, Zhang Rui thought it was that crazy woman coming and was so scared that she didn't even dare to breathe.

It wasn't until she heard Lin Xiaoyu's voice outside that she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Rui Rui, it's me. Are you in there?"

Hearing this, Zheng Rui opened the door of the utility room with horror in his eyes.

"Xiaoyu, you're finally here. You didn't see your mother's expression. She actually wanted to kill me with a kitchen knife."

Seeing her best sister turned pale with fright, Lin Xiaoyu felt full of regret.

"I'm sorry Ruirui, it's all my fault. Let's hire two security guards starting tomorrow to prevent this kind of thing from happening again in the future."

As she spoke, Lin Xiaoyu carefully checked several times and was relieved only after she was sure that Zhang Rui was not injured.

Unexpectedly, when Zhang Rui heard that she wanted to hire a security guard, she hurriedly said something with a wry smile.

"Oh, Xiaoyu, there's no need to hire security guards. Today's situation was purely accidental. Besides, our store is not big, so there's no need to spend that extra money."

Naturally, she could see that this girl was beginning to feel bad about money again, and Lin Xiaoyu frowned helplessly.

"Okay, let's talk about this later."

Today's incident served as a wake-up call to Lin Xiaoyu. Even if she had to ignore the security, she had to think of some way. Fortunately, Zhang Rui was not hurt, otherwise she would have regretted it to death.

Suddenly, Lin Xiaoyu thought of an important question. Since it was her mother who came here with a kitchen knife to cause trouble, she had been in for a while, so why didn't she see that woman?

Looking quickly around the store, Lin Xiaoyu asked again.

"Rui Rui, where is my mother?"

Zhang Rui looked around and said helplessly:

"I don't know either. She wanted to kill me just now, so I hid in here in a hurry. When I called you, I heard that woman smashing things outside. How come she's gone now?"

Lin Xiaoyu was shocked. For some reason, she suddenly had a bad feeling.

Recalling the harsh words Lin Hao left when he came to cause trouble a few days ago, she hurriedly took out her cell phone and called Feng Lan.

Unexpectedly, I heard a power-off tone from the other end of the phone.

Seeing her best friend staring at her phone in a daze, Zhang Rui took a sneak peek and asked in a low voice.

"Xiaoyu, what's wrong with you? I see your mother isn't in a very good mental state and is wearing a hospital gown. I guess she won't answer the phone."

The words fell,

Lin Xiaoyu suddenly came to her senses. She quickly put away her phone and was about to say something to Zhang Rui when a voice suddenly came from the door.

"Hello, we are from the street police station. We received a report that someone was committing a crime here and are here to investigate the situation. May I ask who is in charge here?"

Seeing that it was the police who came to her door, Lin Xiaoyu was slightly stunned, but the next second she hurried forward to respond.

"Oh, comrade police officer, I'm the person in charge here."

Thinking that the policeman was here to arrest someone, Zhang Rui followed closely.

The policeman looked at the situation inside the store and then looked at the two young girls in front of him.

"Were you two in the store at the time? Was anyone injured?"

Lin Xiaoyu shook her head to deny it.

"No one was hurt. My friend was here before I just came over."

After hearing this, the police immediately turned their attention to Zhang Rui who was standing nearby.

"What's your name?"

Zhang Rui has been afraid of this dress since she was a child. Although she has never done anything wrong, she has an innate fear in her heart.

She subconsciously took Lin Xiaoyu's arm and responded with a trembling voice.

"Oh... I... My name is Zhang Rui, nicknamed Ruirui, I'm 21 years old, born in the year of the dog. The police officer just scared me to death. Do you know, I almost got..."

"Okay, little girl, don't be nervous. We are just investigating the situation. Just answer whatever we ask you. If there is anything you forgot, we will add it later."

When someone reports a crime, the police have to take a statement. Zhang Rui is a chatterbox, and if she was allowed to continue talking, there would be no way to write anything in the statement. So she was stopped by the police before she could finish her words.

Zhang Rui was very cooperative and even spoke in a very cautious tone.

"Okay, go ahead and ask me. I will tell you everything I know and I promise not to cause any trouble for the police."

Seeing that the girl in front of him was a little nervous, the policeman wanted to let her relax, so he took the initiative to sit down and talk on a chair scattered on the ground.

But before that, we need to preserve the evidence.

"Let's first investigate the damage to the store, and then sit down and talk after we take some photos."

Almost at the same time, the two sisters responded in unison.

"Ok!"

"Ok!"

After the voice fell, the two looked at each other and Lin Xiaoyu asked the police another question.

"Comrade police, can I ask who called the police?"

As far as she knew, Zhang Rui did not call the police, and Lin Xiaoyu had just arrived, so naturally she had no time to make a phone call and think carefully about the course of events.

It was very suspicious that Feng Lan suddenly disappeared after smashing the store. Now someone called the police for no apparent reason, which made her wonder if there was some conspiracy involved.

But the police just smiled and politely refused.

"I can't tell you that yet. We have requirements to keep the information of people involved in the case confidential."

Since the police officer refused to speak, Lin Xiaoyu did not ask any further questions. After all, it was all work, and it was understandable that personal information would not be disclosed to the public.

Since Zhang Rui was the only one present at the time, the police officer's investigation of the case naturally had nothing to do with Lin Xiaoyu.

While they were taking the statements, Lin Xiaoyu looked around every corner of the store. She had never expected that the store, which was about to open, would be turned into this state in the blink of an eye. For a moment, she couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

At present, the maternity and baby products on the first floor have basically been smashed. Thinking that there is a baby swimming pool on the second floor, Lin Xiaoyu prepared to go up and take a look.

After all, the price of a swimming pool is much more expensive than these scattered items.

But just as Lin Xiaoyu stepped onto the stairs, a sinister and murderous kitchen knife followed her silently.
