The book-crossing case happened! The villains all want me to go to jail

On the edge of a bustling city, there stands a quiet and mysterious villa. This villa is like a mysterious castle hidden in the night, surrounded by tall trees like silent guardians, isolating it from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. Its owner is Stantelish, a wealthy and influential figure in the business world.

It was a gloomy rainy night, with thunder roaring and lightning flashing across the sky from time to time. Stentlish woke up from his sleep and felt his throat was very dry. He subconsciously reached out to touch the head of the bed, and couldn't help wondering: "Strange, usually at this time of the day there would be a glass of water prepared by Xie Xuan'an at the head of the bed, why is there no water today?"

Thinking back on these days, he was really spoiled by Xie Xuan'an. Xie Xuan'an did everything for him, meticulously, and he didn't even need to do anything. Xie Xuan'an seemed to be able to read his mind and always accurately meet his needs. "Am I almost losing my ability to take care of myself because of his spoiling?" Stentlish thought to himself, "But this kind of life where I don't have to worry about anything is really comfortable and addictive."

He muttered, "This is a terrible night. It's really uncomfortable." Then he slowly went downstairs in his bathrobe to get a glass of water from the kitchen. When he passed the living room, he was surprised to find that the door was open, and the cold wind and rain were pouring in, while Xie Xuan'an's figure was disappearing in the darkness.

"Xie Xuan'an?" Stantelish raised his voice and shouted.

There was no response, only the sound of wind and rain at night echoing in the empty living room.

After a while, Xie Xuanan came back in a hurry, panting heavily, his face was as pale as paper, his eyes were tired and nervous, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat and rain. His hands unconsciously tugged at the corners of his clothes, trembling slightly.

"Sir, I just want to get some fresh air."

Stentlish frowned and asked suspiciously, "Breathing in the middle of the night? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"

Xie Xuanan stammered, "Sir, I'm feeling depressed."

As the days passed, Stentlish felt more and more that some of his thoughts and decisions seemed to be influenced by an invisible force, but this feeling was always fleeting. For example, once he was about to refuse an important business cooperation, but when the words came to his lips, he agreed to it. Looking back on it later, he himself felt puzzled.

One morning, Stantelleish was getting ready to go out for an important business meeting.

He stared at Xie Xuan'an and asked puzzledly: "Xie Xuan'an, how did you know I was going to wear this suit today?"

Xie Xuanan quickly replied: "Sir, I noticed that you spent a long time looking at this suit yesterday, so I guessed you would wear it today."

A thought suddenly flashed through Stentlish's mind: Why did he accept Xie Xuan'an's arrangement so easily? But this thought was quickly forgotten.

One day, Stantelish was chatting with a friend in the study and mentioned that he had lost a precious watch. As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Xuan happened to pass by the door of the study. His footsteps paused, a strange look flashed across his face, and his eyes quickly dodged.

Stantelish noticed it and immediately called out to him: "Xie Xuan'an, stop!"

Xie Xuan'an looked confused: "Sir, what do you want me to do?"

Stentlish stared at him closely. "What's wrong with your expression when you mentioned the watch just now?"

Xie Xuanan said in a panic: "Sir, I'm just a little surprised that you have such an experience."

Xie Xuan'an often found excuses to stay in Stantelish's room. Stantelish didn't care at first, until one time he returned to the room early and found Xie Xuan'an standing in front of the closet, holding a piece of clothing he had never seen Xie Xuan'an wear. His eyes were focused and complicated, and his fingers were unconsciously stroking the corner of the clothes.

"Xie Xuan'an, what are you doing?" Stantelish shouted angrily.

Xie Xuan'an was so scared that his hands trembled, and his clothes fell to the ground. He stammered, "Sir, I'm tidying up the closet."

"Clean up the closet? Do you think I'm blind?" Stentlish walked forward. "What's wrong with this clothing?"

Every time he encountered such a situation, Stantelish was full of suspicion and anger, thinking that he must clarify the matter and not be kept in the dark again. But when Xie Xuan explained and apologized kindly and took good care of him, he would waver and think that maybe it was just a coincidence and he was overthinking.

There were more and more small accidents at home. A painting that Stantelish treasured suddenly fell from the wall and the glass broke, while Xie Xuan'an was cleaning nearby.

Stentlish angrily accused: "Xie Xuan'an, how did this painting fall down?"

Xie Xuanan answered innocently: "Sir, I really don't know. I have been cleaning carefully."

Another time, an important document he had placed in his study disappeared. He searched for it for a long time but couldn't find it. A few days later, he discovered it in an unexpected corner. There were some slight wrinkles on the edge of the document, as if it had been secretly flipped through by someone.

Stentlish rushed to Xie Xuan with the document in his hand and asked, "Did you move this document?"

Xie Xuanan waved his hands quickly: "Sir, it's definitely not me, how dare I!"

Whenever someone mentioned some specific time, place or person in the conversation, Xie Xuan would always prick up his ears unconsciously, with a look of special concern. Once, when everyone was talking about a charity dinner many years ago, when a retired business celebrity was mentioned, Xie Xuan suddenly stopped what he was doing, his eyes became deep and distant, and he bit his lip.

Stantelish noticed it and couldn't help wondering: Why wasn't he more alert when he saw Xie Xuan'an's reaction?

Stenterish began to feel that Xie Xuan'an seemed to know some of his privacy. For example, when he was typing in the password of his personal account, he felt someone was watching him from behind. Later, he found that there were slight changes in the funds in some accounts, but he could not find any definite evidence.

"Xie Xuan'an, did you tamper with my account?" Stantelish stared at him sternly.

Xie Xuan'an anxiously defended himself: "Sir, how could I do such a thing? You are wronging me!"

Xie Xuan'an would sometimes suddenly disappear for a while, and when asked where he had gone, he would always be vague.

"Xie Xuan'an, you said you were dealing with personal matters again this time. What exactly is it?" Stantelish asked impatiently.

Xie Xuan'an lowered his head: "Sir, it's not convenient to say."

Once, he disappeared for two whole days. When he came back, he was covered in dirt and leaves from somewhere unknown, and his clothes were torn in several places.

"Where have you been these two days? Why are you like this?" Stantelish glared at him.

Xie Xuan'an's eyes flickered: "Outdoors, fell."

Some of the equipment and tools at home also began to behave abnormally. The kitchen stove would automatically ignite when no one was using it, and the bathroom faucet would suddenly start running in the middle of the night. Every time these situations occurred, Xie Xuan'an was always the first to appear on the scene, seemingly actively dealing with the problem, but his eyes revealed a subtle nervousness, and his fingers would rub unconsciously.

"Xie Xuan'an, are these strange things related to you?" Stantlish asked.

"Sir, it really wasn't me. I'm also confused." Xie Xuan'an explained hurriedly.

Xie Xuan'an's appearance was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples in Stantelish's heart. Xie Xuan'an was a newly recruited male servant, and his care for Stantelish was meticulous, even able to accurately meet his most secret needs.

Stantelish enjoyed this thoughtfulness at first, but soon his vigilance was awakened.

"How can an ordinary Chinese college student who claims to have never done this kind of work have such ability? Does he have other purposes in approaching me?" Stantlish said to himself.

He began to secretly investigate Xie Xuan'an's background. During the investigation, Stantelish often fell into deep thought, constantly analyzing every piece of information he obtained. He would toss and turn at night, thinking about the connection between Xie Xuan'an's various suspicious behaviors.

The result was a mediocre resume - a college student from a top school with no other notable experience.

This made Stantelish even more suspicious.

Once, Stantelish brought Xie Xuan'an to a private horse farm. He personally mounted the horse and showed his skillful riding skills and agile posture, which attracted everyone's admiration.

"Xie Xuan'an, you try it." said Stantelish.

Xie Xuanan hesitated a little: "Sir, I'm afraid I can't do it." But he still got on the horse. At first, his movements were a little stiff and his body was tense.

Stentlish yelled, "Relax, boy!"

Before long, Xie Xuan'an was able to gradually master the balance and trot the horse.

Stentlish was puzzled: "This adaptation is too fast."

In the fencing hall, Stantelish, holding a long sword, had a wonderful duel with his coach.

"Xie Xuan'an, it's your turn." said Stantelish.

Xie Xuan'an's first few moves seemed unfamiliar and clumsy, but after practicing a few times, his sword style improved significantly.

Stentlish was secretly shocked: "This speed of progress is unusual."

On the golf course, Stantelish swung the club freely and the ball flew far and accurately.

"Xie Xuan'an, it's your turn." Stantelish handed the club to Xie Xuan'an.

Although Xie Xuan'an's first shot was not satisfactory, after several attempts, his hitting distance and accuracy improved significantly.

Stentlish's gaze became more serious: "What on earth is going on?"

Occasionally, Xie Xuan'an can be seen talking to himself in front of the mirror when no one is around, with an expression that is sometimes ferocious and sometimes confused.

There were some strange objects in his room. Sometimes Xie Xuan would suddenly fall into a brief state of unconsciousness, and when he came back to his senses he could not remember what had just happened.

In the days that followed, Xie Xuan'an's behavior became increasingly bizarre, but Stantelish was unable to find any conclusive evidence.

Until one day, Stantelish received an anonymous letter with only one sentence in it: "Be careful about the people around you." But at the end of the letter there was a strange circular symbol, which made people puzzled.

Stantelish fell into deeper confusion. He didn't know what was going on, and the truth behind Xie Xuan'an was still confusing.
