“Do
eyes
you know what will happen if you look at a man with such a burning gaze and invite him to bed?” Simon narrowed his
and walked over.
“What else could happen? Sleeping, of course!” Marina said matter–of–factly.
“Yes, you’re right. It’s just that what you thought might be a little different from mine.” Simon’s eyes revealed a hint of threat.
Marina’s beautiful eyes instantly narrowed. Then, she looked at Simon in front of her with a sigh.
“You’re just a bolster. Why do you always have evil thoughts about your owner? Since you’re a bolster, you have to do your best to help me sleep. If you still have other thoughts that you shouldn’t have, you’ll be thrown away!”
Simon was speechless.
Looking at the serious Marina in front of him, Simon sighed helplessly.
Marina was really ruthless.
But what else could Simon do?
Since Simon brought Marina back, he could only pamper her.
Simon took off his coat and slowly climbed into bed.
Seeing Simon finally recognize his identity as a bolster to help her sleep, Marina immediately stuck close to him.
Then, Marina found a very comfortable position and closed her eyes, preparing to sleep.
“Speaking of which, how did you sleep before you met me?” Simon looked down at Marina who was tightly pressed against his chest, and his eyes gradually softened..
“It’s not like I can’t sleep well all the time.” Marina’s voice was a little hoarse from sleepiness.
“Then how did it suddenly become like this?” Simon gently played with Marina’s soft black hair with his big hand.
Simon liked the feeling of Marina’s hair sliding over his fingertips now.
It was tingling as if Marina was unconsciously seducing Simon with her gaze.
It was seductive.
“About a year ago…” Marina mumbled.
“A year ago? Did something happen?” A person’s habits could not be changed suddenly. Usually, a new habit would come to them when they were stimulated by something.
“It’s not a big deal. It was just a car accident…” Marina’s consciousness had completely fallen silent.
Marina was almost mumbling the rest of her sentence.
Seeing that Marina’s breathing had stabilized, Simon did not continue asking. He only smiled and smoothed her messy hair.
Marina slept really quickly.
Simon did not even know that his body had such an instantaneous hypnotic effect before meeting Marina.
In the next few days.

Chapter 71
Marina had been staying in the hotel where Simon was staying.
After trying peaceful sleep, Marina could no longer accept her previous poor sleeping state.
Simon seemed to be very busy every day. Basically, he spent most of his time in the study.
Gavin, who had lied about his injuries and wanted to slack off, was caught by Simon on the spot. Gavin was also busy every day.
On the contrary, Marina basically slept until she woke up naturally every day.
After getting up and washing up, Marina could eat the breakfast that the chef had meticulously prepared.
After breakfast, Marina lay on the sofa and scrolled through her phone again.”
At noon, Marina would have lunch with Simon.
After lunch, Simon and Gavin went to work.
As for Marina, she changed her posture and continued to scroll through her phone..
Gavin was so envious when he saw how at ease Marina lived.
But at noon, one day.
Marina’s leisurely life was suddenly interrupted by a message.
It was from Quantum.
[Bro, there’s news!]
There was a link coming with the message.
Marina logged in to take a look, and her face instantly darkened.
[This is a post posted by a member this morning. He’s a police officer. He said that he encountered a particularly difficult case and wanted to seek help on the Darknet. I thought it was quite interesting, so I sent him a private message.]
[Then, I took the opportunity to hack into his computer and found this photo from his computer.] Quantum was the most information–sensitive person on the Darknet.
Quantum’s hacking skills were actually not much worse than Marina’s.”
However, it was unknown if it was because of Quantum’s wretched nature or something else, but he liked to secretly look through other people’s computers.
Moreover, after Quantum secretly looked through one’s computers, one wouldn’t notice anything.
Therefore, Quantum had a lot of secret information in his hands.
This was also why Quantum was one of the four big shots that they could not afford to offend on the Darknet.
Because once someone provoked Quantum, all of his or her secrets would be in danger.
Quantum could even find out that someone had wet the bed when he or she was three years old.
That was why Marina had asked Quantum to help keep an eye on the pattern.
Marina looked at the photo that Quantum had sent over. It should be a screenshot taken from the surveillance video.
The person in the photo was wearing a black baseball cap and a mask. He lowered his head very much, making it impossible

to see his appearance.
Marina could only vaguely see a tattoo on the back of the man’s neck.
The pattern of the tattoo was very similar to the pattern sent to Quantum by Marina.

[I’ve tried my best to restore the pattern of the tattoo, but the photo from the surveillance video is too blurry. I can’t be 100% sure. If you’re free, you can go and take a look yourself. The location is Solemwood in Calirina…] Quantum confirmed the location.
[Solemwood in Calirina?] When Marina saw this, she was stunned for a moment.
[What’s wrong? Is there a problem?] Quantum sensed the strangeness between the lines Marina sent.
[Nothing. I just thought it was quite a coincidence. Thank you for the information. I’ll transfer the remuneration to your card.]
[You’re welcome. If you have anything in the future, feel free to look for me anytime!] Quantum replied quickly.
In the end, Quantum even sent an emoji of a burly man counting money with a dirty face.
The man’s saliva flowed all over the ground.
Marina was speechless.
Marina ignored Quantum and logged into the Darknet. She found the post that Quantum mentioned and sent a private message to the poster.
In Solemwood Police Station.
In the conference room.
Almost all the leaders of the police station were gathered here.
“It’s been almost a week, but you still haven’t found a suspect?” The police chief, Alfred Leonard, shouted at the men under him with a serious expression.
All police officers below fell silent.
“Aren’t all of you usually quite arrogant? Why is it that now that something has really happened, there’s no one who can take responsibility?” Alfred slammed the table hard.
Everyone lowered their heads even more.
Among this group of people, there was a man around 40 years old who didn’t seem to feel Alfred’s anger at all.
He just stared at his phone as if he was waiting for an important call.
“Milton Charles!” Alfred obviously noticed the man’s absent–mindedness and shouted sternly.
However, Milton, who was called out, acted as if he didn’t hear anything and continued to stare at his phone.
“Milton!” Alfred was enraged by Milton’s attitude. Alfred picked up the cup beside him and threw it at Milton.
Milton still didn’t look up. He only gently moved half an inch to the side, and Alfred’s cup brushed past Milton’s ear and hit the wall behind Milton.
