Chapter 190 New Crisis

The mysterious man's confession made Lin Yanan and Ruan Jianan feel complicated. Before they could fully digest it all, a new crisis arose in their lives.

Lin Yanan found that she often received some anonymous threatening letters. There was no information about the sender on the envelopes of those letters, and the words on the letter paper were crooked, as if they were done intentionally to cover up the handwriting.

"Watch out for your family, this is just the beginning."

"Don't think that this is the end of the matter. The nightmare is still to come."

Such threatening words made Lin Yanan feel terrified. She did not dare to tell Ruan Jianan the contents of the letters, fearing that it would add more pressure to him, but she herself was in a state of high tension and fear all day long.

There were strange noises at home from time to time. Sometimes it was the sound of something heavy falling to the ground in the middle of the night, and sometimes it was the sound of someone walking quietly. Lin Yanan was always frightened by these noises and her heartbeat accelerated, but she didn't dare to check it out alone.

One night, Lin Yanan was awakened by a sharp noise. She opened her eyes and found that the room was dark, with only the faint moonlight from outside the window pouring in through the gap in the curtains. The noise continued, as if someone was hitting something hard.

Lin Yanan trembled and woke up Ruan Jianan beside her, "Jianan, listen, what's that sound?"

Ruan Jianan rubbed his eyes, sat up, and listened carefully. "Don't be afraid, Yanan, I'll go take a look."

He picked up the flashlight and walked out of the room carefully. Lin Yanan hid nervously under the quilt, waiting for Ruan Jianan to return.

After a while, Ruan Jianan came back, his face was a little pale. "Nothing, maybe the wind blew something down."

Lin Yanan clearly felt that he was hiding something, but she did not ask any questions and just hugged Ruan Jianan tightly.

At the same time, Ruan Jianan's work also encountered a huge setback. Due to fierce market competition, the company's performance declined sharply and began to lay off employees on a large scale. As a member of the department, Ruan Jianan faced the risk of losing his job.

"Boss, I have been working diligently in the company for so many years. Can you reconsider it?" Ruan Jianan tried to persuade the boss to keep his position.

The boss shook his head helplessly and said, "Jian'an, I can't do anything about it. This is the company's decision."

Ruan Jianan returned home in despair. Seeing Lin Yanan's worried look, he forced a smile. "Yanan, I'm fine. There will always be work."

Lin Yanan knew that he was being stubborn, and felt even sadder. "Jian'an, no matter what, we will face it together."

In order to find new job opportunities, Ruan Jianan went out early and came back late every day to attend various interviews. However, due to the bad market situation, suitable job opportunities were few and far between.

Lin Yanan also tried to find a job for Ruan Jianan through his connections, but was unsuccessful.

The financial pressure on the family is increasing. The children’s education expenses, mortgage, daily expenses, etc. are like mountains pressing on their shoulders.

One day, when Lin Yanan was tidying up her room, she found a diary of Ruan Jianan. She hesitated for a moment, but still opened it.

"I feel like I can't hold on any longer. Yanan and the child are suffering with me, but I can't do anything about it."

Seeing these words, Lin Yanan's tears welled up in her eyes.

Just when they felt desperate, a mysterious phone call came.

"If you want to get out of your current predicament, just do as I say..." The voice on the other end of the phone came in a low and strange voice.

Lin Yanan and Ruan Jianan fell into deep fear and confusion. They didn't know whether this mysterious call was salvation or another trap.
