I’m Really Scared
Chapter 210: The Microcosm Explodes

Three hours ago, Lin Shuman had just completed her necessary tasks, including her duties as a member of the Special Security Group and matters related to transforming the orphanage into a shelter.

Her next task was to follow and document Guan Shan's movements, a long-term mission that had never been terminated.

However, since Guan Shan's contributions had increased, the surveillance on him had loosened, and constant monitoring was no longer required, only periodic reports.

Technically, Lin Shuman didn't need to make this trip at night.

But this time, she had something important to discuss with Guan Shan, requiring his opinion, so she had to come over.

When Lin Shuman arrived at Guan Shan's house, the birthday cake delivery had just reached the doorstep.

She walked in through the open door, noticing the colorful decorations everywhere.

Lin Shuman paused, realizing Shen Dinghua was celebrating Guan Shan's birthday.

She felt a twinge of envy but quietly found a corner to stay in, minimizing her presence.

Lin Shuman still had some psychological shadow from Shen Dinghua.

Back in that bloodied alley, Shen Dinghua's smiling glance had left a deep scar on her.

It was like a scene from a horror movie!

Even though later Xia Lei's investigation found no energy readings and Shen Dinghua's background was clear, suggesting it was just a coincidence or her imagination, Lin Shuman couldn't fully believe it.

She was sure she hadn't seen wrong, and the lingering fear and dread remained in her mind. Shen Dinghua was definitely hiding something! However, if even Xia Lei, a former A-rank, said there was no problem, it meant this issue was beyond her reach. Lin Shuman, being an experienced intelligence officer, knew when to step back.

Do your job and nothing more.

Lin Shuman thought this, watching the pair's interactions from the dinner table to the couch and even upstairs.

She felt full just from watching them! When the house finally quieted down at night, Lin Shuman breathed a sigh of relief, ready to report her business.

Waiting for a while, she ate an emergency energy bar, hearing footsteps from upstairs—Guan Shan, she assumed.

Lin Shuman felt relieved, heading up to report.

Because of her fear of Shen Dinghua, she moved cautiously, avoiding unnecessary noise.

As she got closer, she heard Guan Shan and Shen Dinghua talking.

"..."

She was sure she only heard one set of footsteps...

Feeling uneasy, Lin Shuman considered retreating but found herself just half a meter from the bathroom door.

Since I'm here, might as well...

Curious, she heard words like "angry" and wondered if the couple was arguing.

From her observations, Guan Shan and Shen Dinghua seemed like a model couple, with no signs of conflict.

Curiosity got the better of her, making her want to understand the reason.

Having observed Guan Shan for so long, she felt almost like watching a drama, deeply invested in their story.

Missing a part felt uncomfortable.

"Just a bit closer, to hear better..."

Lin Shuman moved forward, about to lean on the door when she realized it wasn't locked.

Moreover, it opened inward! Meaning her weight and push force opened the door! "!!!"

Lin Shuman was stunned, not reacting as she tumbled in, seeing Guan Shan and Shen Dinghua in the bathtub, embracing.

"Plop."

Her energy bar fell to the ground as her mind froze, overwhelmed by embarrassment and shock. What? What did I see? What were they doing? Lin Shuman's face turned crimson, her thoughts a chaotic mess.

Worse, her surprised exclamation drew Guan Shan and Shen Dinghua's attention, both turning towards her.

Clearly, her "out of bounds" behavior caused her invisibility to fail, especially with Guan Shan's level. He could see her now.

In that moment, falling into the room, Lin Shuman's expression twisted, almost feral.

No! No way!!! This can't happen!!!!

She couldn't let this be discovered! It would be a social death! The third squad's Lin Shuman, caught spying on a couple during a mission, her reputation would be ruined!

Lin Shuman felt a surge of energy, her microcosm igniting, bursting with potential.

Disappear, all of you!!! ——

"Hey?"

Guan Shan heard a familiar voice, his heart skipping a beat. Looking up, he saw no one.

He was puzzled.

Strange... With Lin Shuman's level, I should see her once she makes a sound.

Did I hear wrong? Was it not her? "What's wrong? Get up, or you'll catch a cold."

Shen Dinghua extended a hand, pouting, helping Guan Shan up and checking him over before looking at the broken switch. "This switch is really poor quality."

Sorry, switch, you have to take the blame.

Guan Shan laughed awkwardly. Can't say it's because I'm too strong...

After cleaning up, they laughed off the incident, leaving it behind.

As Guan Shan walked out, he saw a half-eaten energy bar on the floor, the same kind Lin Shuman had given him before.

It was her...

Guan Shan, understanding, put Shen Dinghua to sleep and went downstairs.

"Lin Shuman? You there?"

Lin Shuman peeked out from behind the kitchen wall, acting casual. "Looks like you found my clue."

Guan Shan looked at the energy bar in his hand. This is... a clue? "Your powers seem stronger." He laughed. "Want some cake? There's some left."

He took the cake from the fridge, placing it on the table. "What did you need to tell me?"

Lin Shuman looked at the cake, nodding. "Do you remember Li Li?"
