Chapter 347: Chapter 347 Bringing the Body Pillow Home (1)_1

Xia Wan’an thought she must have misheard, and with a slight frown, she held her breath and listened carefully again.

The pitter-patter continued without stopping... The three villas by Lin Lake were all hers... She was the only one to live there. How could there be a sound of running water?

Could it be that she had forgotten to turn off a faucet? No, after returning home this evening, she had only used the water in the kitchen downstairs and the bathroom in the master bedroom...

The usually calm kitten hurriedly jumped from the vanity mirror to the nearby wardrobe, its meows becoming increasingly frenzied.

As Xia Wan’an listened to the cat’s cry, the more she thought, the more worried she became. No longer feeling sleepy, she hesitated in bed for a moment, and finally got off the bed, phone in hand.

As she reached the bedroom door and pulled it open, the sound of running water outside suddenly stopped.

Xia Wan’an’s heart jumped into her throat, and her hand, gripping the doorknob, shook violently. After a long time, she mustered up the courage to step out of the bedroom.

As she stepped into the hallway, she clearly saw the light in the guest bedroom opposite the staircase suddenly go out.

Her hand trembled and her phone nearly dropped to the floor.

She was the only one living in this small villa, and she rarely went to the guest room, so usually, the light there remained off. But it was on just now... Did someone illicitly enter her guest room? Was the sound of the running water coming from there?

It’s no wonder the kitten behaved so unusually. Was it because a stranger had intruded into her home before she returned from work?

A thief?

In just the blink of an eye, Xia Wan’an turned around and hurried back into her master bedroom.

Until she knew whether the person in the guest bedroom was a man or a woman, or if they were armed, she couldn’t confront them... because she was visible while they were hidden. If she did confront them now, it could easily give them the impression that she had discovered them, prompting them to react impetuously.

As Xia Wan’an locked the door to her bedroom, she clearly heard the door to the guest room next door open. Then she heard footsteps drawing closer to her bedroom door, from far to near, slow but steady.

Normally, if it was a thief and they were disturbed, their first reaction would be to run downstairs and escape as quickly as possible... But this person, he didn’t flee, he was coming towards her bedroom... indicating his target was not her possessions, but she herself.

As this thought flashed through Xia Wan’an’s mind, she could clearly feel her bedroom door being gently pushed from the outside.

Xia Wan’an’s heart lurched as she immediately picked up her phone.

Her first response was to dial "110," but after unlocking her phone, she realized that if the intruder heard her reporting to the police, he might break in and make her situation even more dangerous...

She couldn’t send a text either, since it was nearly one in the morning, and the likelihood of someone seeing her text in time was low.

As these thoughts raced through Xia Wan’an’s mind, she randomly picked a number from her call history and dialed it, hanging up as soon as it connected.

The person outside was pushing against the door with more force, with the faint sound of a doorknob being twisted.

Sweat broke out on Xia Wan’an’s anxious palms. As she mentally counted to three, considering which number to try next if there was no callback from the last call, her phone screen lit up accompanied by a pleasant ringtone.
