The man in the gray robe was sprawled on the roof.
A group of cockroach-like black beetles were moving back and forth on his dangling ankle. Just by being grabbed, the bone in his ankle was crushed and fractured.
As for the other part … it was already … too late to save it …
Why did this happen?
He just wanted to kidnap a little brat. This kind of thing was not even in the top three things he had done. How could he have met such a ruthless person?
The man's eyes were dead. He twitched a little, and then a ferocious look appeared on his face.
"… Even if I don't give up 1.5 million, I will definitely take revenge. Just wait for me!"

When Mo Li returned to Ying's apartment, Xu Shenxing was preparing noodles in the kitchen.
Seeing that Jasmine had returned, his face revealed a relieved expression.
"You're finally back. I couldn't even get through to your phone. I was so worried."
He was mainly worried about the safety of the earth.
Putting down his chopsticks, he wiped his hands on his apron, "I know you're tired of the takeout from the place where I work. How about we eat noodles today? As for friends, don't worry. You'll get one eventually. "
He thought that Mo Li came back so late because he didn't make any real friends and couldn't bring anyone home. He thought that Mo Li was embarrassed by his boasting yesterday.
"That … Sorry to disturb you." Cui Yingying, who was following behind Mo Li, greeted Xu Shenxing timidly, "Hello, I'm Mo Li's … classmate. My name is Cui Yingying."
Xu Shenxing was stunned.
Mo Li's little face was full of pride.
"Could, could it be that Mo Li has something on you?" Xu Shenxing asked worriedly.
"No, no." Cui Yingying's mouth twitched, "Why do you ask?"
"Because my Mo Li isn't good at making friends …"
"Ah, I can't deny that." Thinking of the things that happened to her in school, Cui Yingying could only smile bitterly.
"Mr. Landlord, we brought meat back ~"
Mo Li turned a deaf ear to the two of them slandering him. He raised the plastic bag in his hand and said proudly, "Thank us!"
"Wu …"
Because Qin Xingyan wasn't around, Xu Shenxing didn't have a place to collect rent. Song Yu was busy with her accounting exam, so she didn't come to work for the past few days. As a result, the standard of food in Ying Apartment dropped again and again. If Xu Shenxing hadn't found a temporary job in Shaxian a few days ago, they would have to go back to the days when salted vegetables were just plain porridge.
"Thanks a lot … Do you want to ride on my shoulder or lift me up?" he asked Mo Li reluctantly.
"This is sexual harassment, landlord."
Mo Li gave him a look of disdain.
Xu Shenxing didn't say anything. He just stared at Mo Li's washboard, then …
"Hehe …"
He sneered.
Mo Li kicked Xu Shenxing's leg hard. Then, ignoring the latter rolling on the ground, he ran to the kitchen to get a few plates and prepared to pour out the food he brought.
"Sorry for making you laugh." After noticing Mo Li's strange look, Xu Shenxing immediately got up, pretended nothing happened, and smiled elegantly.
"No, I just think that you have a good relationship with Mo Li." Cui Yingying showed some envy, then asked, "Are you Mo Li's …?"
"I'm her guardian. If I have to say, I'm probably her father or something like that." Xu Shenxing answered with some uncertainty.
"But I heard her call you landlord …"
"Because I'm the landlord of this apartment." Xu Shenxing said matter-of-factly.
"Eh … But? Eh? "Cui Yingying felt that her understanding was not on the same channel as his explanation.
"Let's eat ~"
Before Cui Yingying could figure out what was going on, Mo Li was already knocking on the table and waiting for dinner.
"Ahhhh! My noodles! "
Xu Shenxing also came back to his senses and screamed as he ran back to the kitchen.
So, the main dish for dinner turned into a suspicious paste …
Even so, the atmosphere at the table was very good. There weren't many people, but the unique atmosphere of Sakura Apartments made people involuntarily intoxicated. Especially the conversation between Mo Li and Xu Shenxing, it always made Cui Yingying want to laugh.
"It's so late, Yingying, is your family okay?"
Because dinner started late, it was almost eight o 'clock by the time it ended.
The sky outside the window was already completely dark. Most people would be worried if they didn't come home this late.
"I'm okay." Cui Yingying replied with a smile, but the faint bitterness in her smile made Xu Shenxing understand something.
It seemed that although she was quite financially comfortable, this girl seemed to be a poor child.
"If that's the case, why don't you take a shower here before going back?" So Xu Shenxing suggested, "Although my family is poor, when the apartments were built, they paid special attention to the public bathrooms. The inside of the bathrooms is much more luxurious than the outside!"
Although not many people knew about it, there was a hot spring in the basement of Sakura Apartments … but the temperature was a bit strange …
"It's okay, I don't have any clothes to change into …" Although she was sweating a lot (Sakura Apartments only had electric fans, and because there were outsiders, the air conditioner Mo Li sent couldn't work), Cui Yingying still smiled and refused Xu Shenxing's invitation.
After Mo Li came back from the bathroom, Cui Yingying decided to say goodbye.
"I'm really happy today, thank you for your hospitality." She thanked Xu Shenxing who was about to go take a shower.
"Oh, no need, no need … Mo Li, you're not going to send me off."
"Between friends … there's no need to be so polite." Mo Li who was lying on the sofa said righteously.
"Look away from the TV before you say something like that!"
In the end, Mo Li was kicked out of the house by Xu Shenxing and went to send Cui Yingying off.
Mo Li walked in front of her angrily and kept saying bad things about Xu Shenxing. But for some reason, Cui Yingying felt that the relationship between the two of them was at a level that ordinary family members couldn't compare to.
"Hey, Mo Li … what's the relationship between you and your landlord?" She couldn't help but ask.
"The relationship between the landlord and the tenant." Mo Li's little face had a 'what are you talking about?' expression as he answered matter-of-factly.
"No, I'm talking about your relationship with him …" Cui Yingying realized that her question was a bit abrupt and could only speak incoherently.
After Mo Li realized that Cui Yingying wasn't joking, he put his finger on his chin and thought for a moment before answering, "When I came to this world, he was already by my side. That's it. "
"So that's it …"
He didn't know if Cui Yingying misunderstood, but the girl showed a gentle smile of understanding.
