Supremely Talented Tyrant

Chapter 2156 - 2357: The Whole Story from Beginning to End

Originally, she was in a state of extreme fear and tension because the door suddenly opened, afraid that it was a burglar. That would be terrible. But when she saw it was Hao Jian who opened the door and heard Hao Jian's voice, she couldn't restrain her emotions any longer.Immediately, tears flowed out from the corners of her eyes, streaming down her cheeks uncontrollably. She was really scared; being a girl living alone and suddenly experiencing such a thing made her tremble all over with fear.

At that time, she was scared, her mind blank, not knowing what to do. Then she thought of Hao Jian; at that moment, she only thought of Hao Jian, even forgetting her parents. The only one she thought of was Hao Jian. When his name popped into her mind, she felt less afraid and hid aside to take out her phone and quietly called Hao Jian.

When the call connected, she wanted to speak but heard the sounds outside growing louder. She was afraid that if she opened her mouth, the sneaky burglar outside would hear her, so she was too afraid to speak for dozens of seconds until Hao Jian was about to hang up, then she started talking.

Soon after, when the noise outside quieted down a bit, she dared to say a few words, leading to the scene now.

Unable to control her emotions suddenly, she stood up abruptly and rushed toward Hao Jian. Originally, Hao Jian was just standing there, but Zhang Danlin suddenly threw herself into his arms.

She tightly hugged him and started sobbing—crying in a particularly choking manner. Hearing this, he realized how scared and distressed she had been. A girl living alone at home, with only a nanny around, feeling lonely, and facing such a situation, who wouldn't be frightened?

If it were Liang Xiaohan, he believed she would run to the kitchen, grab a knife, and scare the burglar away. He doubted not for a second that Liang Xiaohan would act like this if she encountered such an event. But if it happened to Zhang Danlin, the outcome would be entirely different, just like now.

Outside of school, she seemed carefree and happy, but often, it was like this; because she's so lonely at home, she needed to release at school, showing a happy side. After all, who wants others to think they're inferior, unable to even show happiness?

Just like this, Zhang Danlin hurled herself into Hao Jian's arms, hugging him tightly and crying, tears soaking his shoulder, wetting the fabric of his clothes. Seeing this, he sighed silently within, thinking what a poor girl she was.

Normally, he should have kept some distance, making sure there wasn't too much contact, especially not hugging like this. But given her mental state and the ordeal she just experienced, what she needed now was comfort and a hug.

So, letting her hold him to release pressure, he couldn't say a single word. Saying more might hurt her further. He couldn't be heartless towards a girl who had been harmed, so he simply let her hug him without saying anything.

"I'm scared!" Zhang Danlin said, chokingly.

Hao Jian felt guilty, saying, "Sorry, I came late, but now that I'm here, you don't need to worry about anything, I'm here so everything will be fine."

Zhang Danlin nodded, saying, "I know, I feel reassured now that you're here, but I couldn't hold back my tears, so they just flowed out."

Hao Jian patted her head a few times to comfort her, saying, "It's okay, cry, let it out, you'll feel less wronged and won't feel so sad, come on, cry."

After crying quite a bit earlier, shedding so many tears had soaked Hao Jian's shoulder through. Now, even if she wanted to cry more, she felt like she couldn't. Seeing she stopped crying, Hao Jian comforted her for a while, saying, "Don't worry, now that I'm here, everything's fine, you don't have to worry anymore."

As he spoke, he took her hand and said, "Come with me, let's find the burglar who came to your house, beat him up, and see if he dares to come again."

Zhang Danlin nodded. To prevent her from being afraid, to give her a sense of security, he held her hand and didn't let go as they walked out. He had been cautious coming upstairs earlier, estimating the burglar wouldn't have heard him, meaning they must still be inside.

He wanted to capture this burglar, give them a good beating, let her vent, and then hand the thief over to the police for them to face severe and rightful punishment.

Holding Zhang Danlin carefully, he walked out of her bedroom and along the corridor, watching and listening intently for any sign of the burglar's location. So, he took Zhang Danlin through two or three rooms, but found no sign of the burglar.

What surprised Hao Jian was that the burglar should have flipped things over, but there was no sign of disturbance in the rooms he checked; they remained unusually tidy. Seeing this, he was surprised and checked a few more rooms, all were like this, making him frown.

Thinking it abnormal, based on Zhang Danlin's description, she heard this noise and realized a thief had broken in, leading to her fear. But why, as it is now, not a single main room or the living room showed any sign of disturbance, it shouldn't be like this.

If the burglar caused noise while flipping through things, the place should be messy. With that in mind, Hao Jian took Zhang Danlin to other rooms, but the result was the same: not a single sign of disturbance.

Zhang Danlin puzzledly said, "Maybe they've already left?"

Hao Jian shook his head, saying quietly, "Impossible, if they ran away, I'd have noticed."

His hearing was sharper than most, several times normal people's hearing; he could hear footsteps immediately. So, if the burglar wanted to escape, there would certainly be footsteps, likely hurried, and he'd definitely hear. Since he would hear it but didn't, they must still be inside.

However, just then, after finishing his words, Hao Jian's brows suddenly furrowed as if he had heard something, his ears twitched, dragging Zhang Danlin to run downstairs toward a room. The sound became increasingly clear and audible.

With a "bang!" he rushed over and pushed open a slightly ajar door. Upon opening it, what he saw inside startled him, including Zhang Danlin, who widened her eyes in shock, clearly frightened.

"This..." Zhang Danlin stared wide-eyed at the scene.

Hao Jian heard sounds downstairs and urgently led Zhang Danlin down, then opened the door, initially thinking they'd catch the burglars once the door was open. Yet, once opened, the scene that appeared before them was surprising.

Inside the room were not burglars, but three or four kittens.

Indeed, it was the noise made by the kittens that attracted Hao Jian. Seeing this, he roughly understood what had happened. As soon as the kittens saw humans suddenly appear, they were probably startled, immediately scattering, scrambling out of the room. They quickly ran into the living room, and emerged, making a leap to jump out of the opened window.

Hao Jian's face brightened with recognition, saying nothing; immediately, he turned on the lights in both the room and living room, checking room by room. Zhang Danlin, still fearful, followed him throughout. Upon finishing the check, they realized no signs of things being overturned, except for a few objects dropped on the floor.

Seeing this, Hao Jian understood the situation fully. Glancing at Zhang Danlin, he led her into the living room, pointing at the open window, asking, "Well... did you forget to close this window when you went to bed tonight?"

Seeing Hao Jian pointing, Zhang Danlin was surprised, rushing over to see the window indeed open, exclaiming, "Ah! I didn't realize I had forgotten to close the window."

Speaking, she walked over and closed the window.

By now, Hao Jian had grasped the full sequence of events. Feeling a sense of relief, he lay back on the sofa.

Seeing Hao Jian like this, Zhang Danlin was slightly surprised, not knowing what had happened.

Recognizing her confusion, Hao Jian smiled and pointed to the sofa, saying, "Don't worry, I already figured out what it was. Sit down, and I'll explain it to you."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Danlin nodded and sat down.

Then Hao Jian began to speak, "This incident is actually quite simple. It wasn't that a burglar broke into your house, rather, you forgot to close a living room window before bed, and coincidentally, some mischievous kittens ran inside, causing a ruckus."
