Pei Yan was already upset when he saw the scene in front of him, and now when he heard Lin Man's impatient tone, his attitude also turned cold.

"Lin Man, if you can't do the work, don't do it. Who taught you to wash clothes like this? Do you know how many documents I have destroyed due to the water leakage in your house?"

Lin Man was confused. "What's the leak? Who did the laundry? Explain clearly."

"Hello! Pei Yan?" I heard a beeping sound in my ear, and Pei Yan had already hung up the phone.

Lin Man glanced at the off screen of her mobile phone and quickly took a taxi back home.

Pei Yan's villa was surrounded by property staff. The water at the door was above Lin Man's knees. The brown paper bag containing the documents floated to Lin Man alone. When she touched it, the words "top secret document" were revealed as it was soaked by water. There was even Pei Yan's signature on the red seal.

Lin Man's forehead twitched twice.

Property management: "Hurry up and get another pump. There are three supercars in the basement garage! We can't handle it anymore!"

The water level has submerged Pei Yan's underground garage, and the pump brought by the property is still running non-stop. She can only hope that this matter has nothing to do with her family, otherwise Pei Yan will blackmail her to death for the losses.

Many staff members waded past Lin Man in the water, and many people from the Pei Group also came, apparently wanting to rescue the soaked documents.

Lin Man withdrew her gaze and when she looked up again, she saw Pei Yan sitting on the high steps smoking, as if all the panic and restlessness had nothing to do with him. Lin Man found it a little funny.

She picked up the documents floating on the water and threw the wet pile in front of Pei Yan. "Boss Pei is indeed not an ordinary person. He can sit there calmly in such a situation."

Lin Man pursed her lips and said nothing. In fact, she also wanted to see Pei Yan's miserable appearance as he waded into the water to rescue the documents.

It's just a pity that Pei Yan always looks calm and composed no matter what situation he's in. Is he pretending? Lin Man thought so. After all, people are people. How can they never lose control?

Hearing Lin Man's words, Pei Yan chuckled, "Shouldn't you be the one I should be most worried about right now?"

Seeing Lin Man's puzzled expression, Pei Yan flicked the ash off his cigarette and kindly reminded her, "The market value and financial losses of these things of mine are clearly marked. If they are damaged, you will be compensated according to the price. You have a company and property in Haishi, and... a boyfriend. I'm not worried that you will run away and have no place to ask for money."

Property management: "Ms. Lin! The water pressure in your home is rising too fast, and another water pipe has burst!"

Lin Man's mind had been in a daze because of Ji Ze's matter, and she only woke up completely now.

Pei Yan stood up impatiently and pulled Lin Man to her door. "What are you standing there for? Open the door quickly."

Lin Man took out the broken half of the key and said, "The lock core is broken."

There was nothing she could do. She could only blame his bad luck. He had so many houses to live in but had to live next to her. Maybe the water leak in her house was caused by his bad luck.

Pei Yan's face was completely gloomy. "Lin Man, are you kidding me? It's your washing machine that's leaking, and now it's causing me unpredictable losses. Not only are you not actively dealing with it, you're also acting like you won't repent, right?"

"You didn't use water yesterday! Then who in your family was using water? A ghost?"

Lin Man was a little speechless after what Pei Yan said, "Of course I didn't respond actively. If you want to extort money, just tell me who used water! Thanks to you, the lock cylinder of my house broke last night. I didn't even live at home!"

Pei Yan stared at Lin Man for a long while with his dark eyes, and said faintly: "Then who is in your house..."

In an instant, Lin Man seemed to have thought of something. She looked at Pei Yan and broke into the room.

The property management team pried the door open very quickly. Without the resistance of the door lock, water rushed out with the door slamming open. Lin Man's body swayed twice and she almost fell down until a pair of slender and powerful hands supported her from behind. She was able to stabilize her body. The floor in the house was lifted up by the blisters, and there was not a single intact spot on the wall.

All three underground water pipes burst, and no place in the entire house was spared.

Lin Man ignored the still gushing water and walked towards her cloakroom with her eyes fixed.

"Stupid woman." Pei Yan frowned, waded through the water to turn off the main valve, and the water in the pipe finally stopped.

"Ah!" Following Lin Man's scream, Pei Yan walked in quickly and saw Lin Man looking at the empty closet with shock.

"Where is my bag?" The bag cabinet was empty, with only a few unbranded small bags left on the ground.

"Where's the watch? Where's the necklace?" Lin Man opened the box of decorations, but found it was empty.

"My money is gone too!" Lin Man couldn't believe it at first, but when she saw the empty safe, the one million yuan in cash she had put inside was gone! She finally realized that her house had been robbed!

The clothes in the closet were thrown on the ground, some even floated away with the water, and the clothes with tags were looted!

Lin Man took a deep breath, and Pei Yan picked up the box on the ground, seeming to be interested.

"This thief has really bad taste."

All the things he took were worthless and difficult to sell. Besides, what valuable jewelry would this woman have after leaving him?

Pei Yan pondered secretly, but Lin Man was about to explode. She was already upset because her house was robbed, and now Pei Yan was making sarcastic remarks!

"Yes! This thief not only has bad taste, but also has a stupid brain! Why did he come to steal from my house? He should have come to steal from your house! Go to your basement and drive away those cars! And take away all the watches of various colors that you specially collected! Replace the wine in your wine cabinet with DDT to kill you!"

Lin Man kicked the empty box next to her and was about to take out her cell phone to call the police, but Pei Yan grabbed her wrist!

His eyes were deep as he asked, "How do you know that I have a hobby of collecting watches of different colors?"

Even the people closest to him didn't know about this. How did Lin Man know about it?

"I don't remember telling you that."

Pei Yan's dark eyes were like a blade, as if he wanted to cut open Lin Man's brain to see what she was thinking. Her abnormal behavior during this period had even exceeded everyone's expectations.

Lin Man's heart trembled. She knew that it was indeed not Pei Yan who told her this, but she saw it in her previous life when she followed Pei Yan in order to find out Gan Tian's whereabouts. How could a male chauvinist like Pei Yan let others know that he had such a hobby.

Lin Man was not flustered. She raised her eyelids and said, "I saw Gan Tian buy it. Didn't she buy a whole series of watches in different colors for you? Did she buy it for Jiang Xuzhi?" Lin Man shook her head, seeming to be very regretful. "It turned out that it was not for you. I didn't expect Jiang Xuzhi to have such a girlish habit. It's really surprising."

Lin Man's pretense of being relaxed did not dispel Pei Yan's doubts.

Once, just when Pei Yan thought that Lin Man would live off his assets after divorcing him, Lin Man used the divorce money he gave her to easily increase the company's market value several times.
