Why do they just refuse to admit that I worked here?! "
After walking out of the small restaurant, Xu Qian was still brooding over this matter.
Zhang Heng, who was next to her, did not answer her question. "Next, let's go to the place you rented before."
"Oh, so you really came this time just to listen to my tragic story?"
"No, I just want to further confirm something," Zhang Heng said.
"What is it?"
"Let's talk about it after we go to the place you rented."
Zhang Heng waved his hand and hailed a taxi. Xu Qian looked at Zhang Heng, but she did not get in the car immediately. Instead, she said, "You have been keeping me in suspense since last night. Why don't you just tell me what you want to do? Our current relationship … is almost like a grasshopper on a rope. Are you still worried that I will betray you? When those guys came in just now, I didn't ask them for help. In fact, I have been doing what you said to cover for you. "
"It's not that I don't believe you, but this kind of thing is a little difficult to explain. And it may be difficult for ordinary people to accept it. I think it's better to do it step by step."
"Then why don't you tell me the conclusion first, and then do it step by step?"
Zhang Heng thought for a while, "Well, I think you should try to stay away from your boyfriend."
"What?"
"As I said, it may be a little difficult to accept the conclusion directly."
"I just don't understand. Should I be with my boyfriend? What does this have to do with my previous experience?"
"This is what I want to prove to you next." After Zhang Heng finished, he gestured for her to get in the car.
Although Xu Qian still had a lot of questions to ask, she finally decided to do as Zhang Heng said, especially when the taxi driver was getting impatient and began to honk. Xu Qian did not stay any longer and sat in the back seat.
Ten minutes later, the two arrived at the place where Xu Qian used to live on the first floor. It was a small ten-story residential building. Although it was said to have ten floors, the original building only had six floors. The upper four floors were added, and the first floor was transformed into a shop and rented out.
Xu Qian took Zhang Heng to the side, found a safe passage, and pushed the door open. It was filled with goods from nearby shops, and there was only a small passage in the middle that could allow one person to pass.
Xu Qian seemed to have guessed what Zhang Heng was thinking. "This is the first floor. No one will care about this kind of thing. Those shops don't want to spend money to rent a warehouse, so they put some of their goods here. They have been doing this since I was here. As for what happens in the fire, I guess they can only pray that it doesn't happen."
Xu Qian said as she led Zhang Heng through the pile of goods, walked to the elevator on the second floor, and pressed the up button. Unlike the convenient and fast single-person elevator in Yacheng District, the elevator here was more similar to the apartment elevator in Zhang Heng's memory. It was push-button, and the elevator carriage would vibrate slightly when it went up.
Xu Qian chose the seventh floor. When she opened the door, the first thing she saw was the clothes hanging in the corridor. Xu Qian bent down and went through the drying rack with ease. She came to a house with half of the house number missing.
"This is the place where I lived when I was on the first floor. What should we do next?" Xu Qian stopped outside the door.
"Are you sure this is the place? Do you remember who the tenant was after you?"
"Well, she came to look at the house before I moved out. She even left her luggage in the house. However, the tenants here are very mobile. After such a long time, I don't know if she is still here," Xu Qian said.
"Let's take a look first," Zhang Heng said as he knocked on the door.
After a while, the door was opened from the inside, and a man wearing only a pair of beach shorts walked out. "Who are you looking for?" he asked in an unfriendly tone.
"Jiang Hong. Does she still live here?" Xu Qian asked.
The man looked at Zhang Heng and frowned. "There is no Jiang Hong here. You are looking at the wrong place." After that, he was about to close the door again, but he did not expect a hand to stop him the next moment.
"Next time when you lie, don't pause first. That way, others will know that you are thinking about how to answer this question. It will be beneficial to you," Zhang Heng said as he walked into the house. The man's expression changed, and he yelled, "Hey, boy, don't get yourself into trouble."
After that, he slammed his shoulder into Zhang Heng, trying to use his body to knock Zhang Heng out of the house.
However, he obviously overestimated his strength and underestimated Zhang Heng's body. Zhang Heng did not dodge at all, allowing the man to slam into him. In the end, Zhang Heng's body only shook a little, but the man in the beach pants staggered from the recoil. He could no longer block the door, and he could only watch Zhang Heng walk straight into the house.
Xu Qian hesitated for a while before following Zhang Heng into the house. As soon as she entered the house, she was shocked to see a naked girl handcuffed to the bed. Her body was covered with bruises, and one of her eyes was swollen.
"Jiang Hong?" Xu Qian was also stunned for a moment before she recognized the girl and cried out involuntarily.
Zhang Heng took off the bed sheet and draped it over the girl. He then raised his head at the man in the beach pants. "She is a tenant here. Who are you? Thief? Robber? Did you stop robbing me and attack the victim instead? "
"Bullsh * t! I am her husband," the man in the beach pants scolded. "Who are you? Why did you break into my house?! "
"Just think of it as us doing good deeds." Zhang Heng glanced at the handcuffs on Jiang Hong's hands. There was an electronic lock underneath. "What's the password?"
"Do you think I will tell you?" the man in the beach pants sneered.
Without another word, Zhang Heng twisted the light bulb on top of his head and smashed it on the corner of the table under the surprised look of the man. After that, he pressed the man's head against the wall and stabbed the broken light bulb into his eyes.
"Let's talk nicely. I will give you the password, 8672." Seeing that the glass spikes on the broken light bulb were less than 1cm away from his eyeballs, the man in the beach pants was taken aback and quickly told Zhang Heng the password.
Xu Qian entered the string of numbers and unlocked the handcuffs. She then took out some clothes from the wardrobe and asked Jiang Hong to change into them.
During this time, the man in the beach pants wanted to speak several times, but he swallowed his words when he saw the broken light bulb in front of him. It was not until Zhang Heng withdrew his hand and walked out of the house with Xu Qian and Jiang Hong that he said, "Where are you taking my wife?"
"Mind your own business," Zhang Heng put the gun back in his bag. "Do what a husband should do. Why don't you start by changing a new light bulb?"
