Chapter 894 Gold Shop Robbers?
"You mean, you want to rent a room in an apartment right now?"
Hu Yifei looked at Tan Wenjie suspiciously, examining him from head to toe and left to right.
“That’s right.” Zhang Jiawen nodded.
After a brief moment of thought, he concluded that No. 001 was very likely living nearby, and possibly even in the Love Apartment.
After all, no one has ever demanded that the base must be powerful. Just by looking at the other party being turned into a human pig and soaked in a jar as a cadaver, you can tell that his combat intelligence is not high. He is obviously not a mature farming-type transmigrator.
Hu Yifei feigned shyness, gently scratching her cheek with a strand of hair: "You wouldn't be thinking of staying here because of me, would you?"
……
"What? You mean there's a top-tier handsome guy who, because you're beautiful, have a great figure, a sweet personality, a gentle voice, a high level of education, long hair, and long eyelashes, can't wait even a second longer and wants to stay here tonight?"
After receiving a phone call, Zeng Xiaoxian rushed to the bar and heard something unbelievable.
Others also arrived uninvited after receiving the gossip signal.
Hu Yifei looked slightly awkward, but stubbornly replied, "Of course!"
"Yifei, you wouldn't be... lying, would you?"
“How could that be! My charm is like…” Hu Yifei turned her head and looked around, pointing to the bar chandelier, “like this, anyone would be attracted to it.”
Snapped!
As soon as he finished speaking, the chandelier went out.
"Hey, why is the power out?" a voice came from behind.
Everyone: "..."
"Anyway, aren't you the chairwoman of the women's federation? Hurry up and help get it sorted out," Hu Yifei urged.
"He is the vice chairman of the apartment residents' committee!" Zeng Xiaoxian emphasized.
Driven by curiosity, the group swarmed over to see what the legendary top handsome guy looked like.
In a bar booth, Tan Wenjie sat on the sofa, turning his head left and right.
The faces were very close together.
"Ah Jie, let me introduce you," Hu Yifei said. "This is Tang Youyou, my roommate in room 3601."
"Hello, my name is Tang Youyou, and I'm an actress!" Tang Youyou introduced herself proactively, "I can get into character in a second."
Tam Man-kit nodded: "I was an actor before."
"Oh? You're an actor too? What works have you acted in?" Tang Youyou immediately became interested.
Tan Wenjie said, "School Beauty: The Horror School".
"A horror movie?" Everyone exclaimed in horror.
Tam Man-kit continued, "There are also 'Campus Belle 2: Terrifying Nurse', 'Campus Belle 3: Beach Party', and 'Campus Belle 4: Flight Attendant Escape'."
"Why does it sound a bit inappropriate?"
"Where can I see it?" Tang Youyou asked nervously, clenching her fist.
“There are no resources, and it can’t be seen on online platforms.” Tan Wenjie shook his head.
Zeng Xiaoxian raised an eyebrow: "Banned? Could it be...?"
Hu Yifei said disdainfully, "Ugh, what kind of lewd nonsense is in your head?"
"I didn't say anything!"
"Ok?"
"I'll shut up!" Zeng Xiaoxian immediately pretended to be obedient.
"It's my turn. I'm Zhang Wei, nicknamed Zhang Yida," Zhang Wei introduced himself. "I'm an intern lawyer. If you need any legal advice, feel free to contact me anytime. I can offer you a discount."
Tan Wenjie: "Definitely."
"It's my turn! It's my turn!" Zeng Xiaoxian exclaimed excitedly.
But Hu Yifei turned her hand and pointed to another person.
"This is Guan Gu."
"Hello, I am Guan Gu Shenqi, from Yokohama, Japan, and I am a cartoonist."
“I’ve been to Japan before,” Tan Wenjie said.
"Where are we going?" Guan Gu asked excitedly.
"Many places, such as Tokyo, Ikebukuro, and... too many to count."
He traveled to many places to catch ghosts.
What impressed you the most?
"The Sato Residence in Tokyo".
Others: "Is Sato's residence a tourist attraction?"
"That sounds familiar," Guan Gu Shenqi scratched his head. "Could it be the residence of some celebrity?"
Do you know Kayako?
"Eek~" Everyone rubbed their arms in unison.
Ju-on (The Grudge) – it would be strange if you didn't know about it.
"So when you said you went to Japan, you meant to watch Japanese horror movies," Zhang Wei said from the side. "In that case, I've also been to Crayon Shin-chan's house."
"Yeah, I've been there too—toilet, kitchen, bathroom," Zeng Xiaoxian said cheekily.
When the others looked at him with disdain, he said, "I was talking about Japanese prank comedy shows, is that wrong?"
"whispering sound!"
Giving the middle finger! *N
Finally, when no one introduced them, Hu Yifei pointed to the most lively man in the room: "This is the famous radio program host, Zeng..."
Zeng Xiaoxian suddenly raised his hand to stop him and said, "Wait, let me give you a hint. I'm a good man, I'm Zeng."
Tan Wenjie: "..."
Zeng Xiaoxian: "Zeng?"
Tan Wenjie: "..."
Zeng Xiaoxian: "Zeng~ It's okay, just say it."
Tan Wenjie: "Zeng Xiaoxian?"
"Haha, you really are my fan!" Zeng Xiaoxian's face was full of joy.
"Ah Jie, you actually listen to that midnight radio program?" Hu Yifei asked in surprise, and the others also showed expressions of shock.
“Yifei was speaking too loudly on the phone just now, and she kept calling out Zeng Xiaoxian’s name.”
Zeng Xiaoxian's smug expression instantly crumbled.
The others, on the contrary, burst into laughter.
"..."
After the joke, Zeng Xiaoxian was quick to act and soon finalized Tan Wenjie's rental contract, allowing him to move in that very night.
"Currently, only Yifei and Youyou live in room 3601. Yifei's younger brother Zhanbo and his friends went on a round-the-world trip, so the room has been empty. The four of us are living in room 3602."
"You can stay with us," Zhang Wei said eagerly. "The five of us can split the rent again, which will ease our financial burden."
The group: "..."
Faced with the stare, Zhang Wei had no choice but to keep quiet.
It seems the apartment doesn't have that many rooms; the only option is 3601.
"You can stay in Zhanbo's room," Hu Yifei said.
"That's not a good idea, Yifei. That's Zhanbo's room after all. If you..."
"I agree," the voice rang out.
Hu Yifei was seen dragging a laptop computer, which was in the middle of a video call, and on the other end was her younger brother, Lu Zhanbo.
"It will be a long time before we can go back, and even when we do, we may not necessarily stay at Love Apartment."
The matter was resolved satisfactorily.
Hu Yifei took her laptop to video chat with her younger brother, while the rest of the group sat together, looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Don't you guys feel like something's missing?" Tang Youyou asked.
The others nodded in agreement.
Then Hu Yifei's voice came: "Tonight, let's celebrate the arrival of our new friend and have a party together?"
"Lu Ziqiao!" The confusion in their hearts vanished instantly.
If Lu Ziqiao were standing here, he would definitely wave his hands and shout "Let's have a party!" to liven up the atmosphere, and then everyone would inexplicably end up completely drunk. "I have a question, should we split the bill at the party?" Zhang Wei asked.
Everyone: "..."
Tang Youyou asked, "Yifei, weren't you video chatting with Zhanbo? You're back so soon?"
Hu Yifei replied, "Egypt and we are in different time zones, so they should be asleep at this time."
“But,” Guan Gu Shenqi raised his hand and said in a four-tone voice, “it’s six hours ahead of Egypt here. It’s daytime in Egypt right now.”
Hu Yifei: "..."
That evening, Tan Wenjie successfully checked in.
After inquiring, it was confirmed that No. 001 had not participated in the plot of this world, as if she had really chosen to live in another place.
Inside room 3601, Tan Wenjie signed the contract.
"I just arrived here and don't have any cash on me," Tan Wenjie asked. "Could I pay tomorrow when I get some money?"
“Well…” Zeng Xiaoxian nodded, “Of course you can, but you can also pay by card.”
“I don’t have a card,” Tan Wenjie said. “You’re the chairperson of the Women’s Federation, you can definitely help with this.”
"He's the vice chairman of the apartment residents' committee!" Zeng Xiaoxian emphasized again, then patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, with Brother Xian on the case, it'll be a piece of cake!"
When he returned to 3602 with the contract, he found everyone except Lu Ziqiao crammed onto the living room sofa.
"How about it?"
“He has no money, so I will pay for him first.”
"No money? No way, his clothes look very expensive."
"Maybe they're just short of cash."
“I feel there’s another possibility; maybe he’s like Ziqiao.”
"You mean... a gigolo who lives off women?"
"I don't think so."
Zeng Xiaoxian waved his hand: "Stop having this paranoia. Wenjie is definitely not that kind of person. He's much better than Ziqiao. He could never be a lecherous playboy."
“Generally speaking, Teacher Zeng, what you’ve done counts as planting a flag,” Zhang Wei remarked from the side.
"Oh no, we're about to miss the new episode of 'The Devil's Stepmother'!" Zeng Xiaoxian immediately turned on the TV.
Just then, the television was broadcasting breaking news.
"Recently, a muscular and mysterious man robbed a mobile phone store, but because the store only displayed mobile phone models, the store only lost a few pieces of glass. The police are urging everyone to be careful, as the perpetrator is very likely to commit a second crime after failing to rob the store."
"Hunky build?"
"We're short of money."
"It seems to be in the vicinity of our apartment!"
Everyone turned to look at Zeng Xiaoxian.
"Could it be?" Zeng Xiaoxian grabbed his hair. "It shouldn't be."
"Don't scare yourselves," Hu Yifei said. "It's definitely not going to happen."
But the news broadcast on television silenced them all, because the blurry male figure in the picture really looked like Tam Man-kit.
The clothes are similar, the hairstyle is similar, and the height is similar.
"Could it be?"
The next day, early in the morning.
Tan Wenjie got up and went out. He hadn't experienced this kind of ordinary urban life for a long time and didn't have any special abilities.
In a daze, I thought I had returned to the time before I traveled back in time.
"No wonder Number 001 was unwilling to enhance this world."
There are two possibilities why this world might not be strengthened: one is that the other party hasn't reached that level yet and is unable to strengthen it.
Secondly, I hope to maintain the most ordinary world.
"Good morning! Want to grab something to eat?" Hu Yifei greeted him. "I just made fried rice with eggs."
"no need."
Do you think my cooking is bad?
"No, I'm allergic to rice."
"..."
If you don't want to eat, then you don't want to eat. Don't say you're allergic to rice.
Tan Wenjie said as he left, "I'm going out to get some money."
"Okay." Hu Yifei nodded.
After Tan Wenjie left, she immediately took out her phone: "The target has made his move, over!"
A few minutes later, Hu Yifei, along with Tang Youyou and Zhang Wei, secretly followed them.
Zeng Xiaoxian needed to catch up on sleep, Guan Gu was working on his manuscript, and Lu Ziqiao was still offline.
But the result was terrible; they lost them after turning two streets.
"Sister Yifei, if he really is a suspect, why don't we just call the police and have him arrested? Why do we have to follow him ourselves?" Tang Youyou asked, puffing out her cheeks.
"You even said that if you hadn't wanted to eat at a roadside stall, we wouldn't have lost you," Hu Yifei complained.
"It's all because that food stall smelled so good," Tang Youyou said a little embarrassed. "Besides, we were hiding right in front of the food stall to avoid being detected, and there was no one around. It would have been so awkward if we hadn't bought something."
"What? Nobody's here?" Hu Yifei exclaimed in surprise. "Then didn't he see us already?"
"I always felt that Ah Jie wasn't the wanted robber," Tang Youyou muttered after taking another bite.
"why?"
“The robbers must be masked, but he wasn’t wearing stockings.”
“Maybe he’ll only wear stockings when he finds a robbery target,” Hu Yifei retorted.
“I also think he couldn’t possibly be a robber,” Zhang Wei said. “And if it were me, I would never rob a jewelry store empty-handed.”
"Robbery of a jewelry store?" X2
The two were puzzled.
“That’s right, it’s a jewelry store.” Zhang Wei pointed to the jewelry store across the street. “I just saw Tan Wenjie swaggering in.”
Why didn't you say so sooner? X2
"You won't let me speak."
The three acted again, arriving at the entrance of the gold shop, only to see Tan Wenjie leaving under the enthusiastic escort of the gold shop salesperson, clearly indicating that both parties had reached a mutually satisfactory transaction.
"Could it be that he really isn't?"
Just then, Tan Wenjie saw the three of them and walked over.
Tan Wenjie asked, "Have you finished shopping?"
"what?"
"That's right, we weren't following you."
"I was forced into it!"
"Following me?" Tan Wenjie asked in confusion, then asked with a dark face, "Why are you following me? Tell me the truth now."
Three people: "..."
"You should tell the truth. You were trying to make money, and then we saw you go into the jewelry store." Hu Yifei was a little unsure of herself, after all, it would be very damaging to their relationship if she were to reveal that she suspected someone of being a robber.
"I'm a little short on cash right now, so I sold some gold," Tan Wenjie said.
"Gold, how much?" x2
The two girls present couldn't stand hearing this.
“That’s enough to cover the rent.” Tan Wenjie didn’t reveal anything, then he said with a straight face, “But you guys actually doubted me.”
"I'm sorry!" X3
"Ring ring ring—" The bell suddenly rang.
Hu Yifei answered the phone, and Zeng Xiaoxian's voice came through.
"The thief who stole the phone has been caught."
"Haha, so you got caught." Hu Yifei looked at Tan Wenjie awkwardly.
"You guys aren't really following Ah Jie, are you?" Zeng Xiaoxian asked.
Hu Yifei said helplessly, "Yes, and he caught us red-handed."
"..."
The misunderstanding was quickly cleared up; just fifteen minutes earlier, police had apprehended the robber at a scrap metal yard, where he was weighing and selling model phones he had stolen from a mobile phone store. (End of Chapter)
