Pei Yao's words sounded like he was indirectly calling her blind.

The car was silent for a long time. No one dared to ignore Pei Yao's words. The external producer was the first to respond with courage and backbone: "Oh, I see, I see!"

The behind-the-scenes photographer was still filming, and said awkwardly: "Not blind, not blind!"

Xiaoyun raised her hand tremblingly: "I..."

"Youngest one, shut up." Lu Qi glanced at Xiaoyun, and his people also joined in the commotion.

Forced to remain calm, Lu Qi was ready to brush the matter off, unsure whether to lie to himself or others: "Boss Pei is a good joker, and you guys are quite trustworthy."

Pei Yao did not refute it. He looked at Lu Qi with a faint smile. Seeing that her eyes were evasive, he turned his head and looked out the window after saying this.

The atmosphere in the car relaxed. Regardless of whether others believed it or not, Lu Qi believed it a little.

Yes, if you didn’t like her, why would you fly from Beijing in the middle of the night to take care of her?

The car finally stopped outside a row of dilapidated buildings.

Lu Qi didn't look at him and hurriedly got out of the car from the other door.

Because the ground here still maintains the appearance of thirty or forty years ago, without asphalt, overgrown with weeds, and gravel road surface, Lu Qi took two steps, and his high heels were stuck in the cracks of the stones, with one foot high and one foot low.

Pei Yao slowly got out of the car, stood by the car and looked at her as if she was running away, with a slight smile on his lips.

The behind-the-scenes engineer got out of the car carrying the camera, but was stopped by Pei Yao halfway: "Did you capture that scene just now?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Pei, I will definitely delete it!" The behind-the-scenes artist was only called by Lu Qi to shoot the scene of "Lu Qi's professionalism" as a gimmick, who knew that he would shoot "Pei Yao's confession"?

Pei Yao took the camera and played with it for a while. It was a 3M camera, not big, not a big machine for filming. It was more suitable for shooting behind-the-scenes footage, but the image quality was pretty good.

After flipping through the footage for a while, he handed the camera back to the behind-the-scenes engineer: "Who told you to delete it? Edit it and send it to me tonight."

Behind-the-scenes artist: “…” Who said he was joking just now?

After walking around the gravel road leading to the demolished houses, you will soon see a group of dilapidated and desolate residential buildings. The corridors upstairs face the outside, and yellowed clothes are hung on the green iron railings to dry.

It is enough to remind people of the Walled City in Stephen Chow's movie Kung Fu Hustle, but it is even bigger in scale.

Listen to the external relations producer reminding: "Mr. Lu, be careful. In order to worry about the arrival of the demolition team, the security team in the building has set up sentries and will issue an alert if they see strangers entering."

"It's so powerful. If you don't know, you might think it's some illegal organization." Lu Qi smiled faintly, looked up, and indeed saw one or two people on the building not far away looking at them.

Seeing that she wasn't paying attention, the external relations producer said sternly, "Most of the remaining people here are either pickpockets or scoundrels. They really can't be considered law-aware."

As they were talking, they passed by the open space under the residential building.

It was a small playground made of sand. A few children had built a football net and were playing football in it.

I saw Lu Qi, the external producer, and Xiao Yun passing by and standing on the playground chatting.

A child of about eleven or twelve years old came over curiously, and his eyes fell on the white Chanel bag that Lu Qi was carrying.

The bag was particularly eye-catching. The leather was obviously very valuable. The pearl chain on it even shone slightly in the gray sunlight.

The child's gaze became more and more intense, and finally he made up his mind. He suddenly rushed towards Lu Qi, stretched out his hand, and snatched the bag away, then ran into the residential building in an instant.

It all happened so suddenly that when I finally reacted, I heard Xiaoyun scream.

"Hey! Teacher, your bag!"

The external relations producer came back to his senses and hurriedly chased after him: "Oh! I said, there is really no one here who is quiet! Mr. Lu, wait for me to help you get it back."

Before he could start running, Lu Qi stopped him with a smile: "What are you chasing after? You have to ask for it openly."

"what?"

The external producer was somewhat puzzled as he was inexplicably tripped by Lu Qi.

But then he heard footsteps approaching behind him.

Pei Yao spoke calmly, as if jokingly, "Teacher Lu has so many bags, but you really don't feel bad about it at all. Others would throw stones to test the water, but you throw bags to test the water."

He, the behind-the-scenes photographer, and the driver were not far behind Lu Qi and the others. They never took their eyes off Lu Qi and naturally saw everything the child did.

The reason why he didn't step forward was that Pei Yao had already guessed Lu Qi's plan.

Before getting off the bus, Lu Qi emptied his bag and carried it openly, as if to remind others to come and grab it.

If she didn't grab it, she might be anxious.

Lu Qi was very unhappy when she heard this person immediately figure out her plan: "You are the only one who understands me?!"

Not wanting to say anything more, Lu Qi strode inside.

I don't want to admit it, and I don't want to guess how much sincerity was in his previous confession. Now I just don't want to face him, but I have to work with him.

After listening to Pei Yao's explanation, the external relations producer realized——

They had no way of getting close to residential buildings before and could only use drones. The last time they got close, they were beaten. When they called the police, they took it for granted and accused them of trespassing.

But if the people inside snatched her bag, they could use the excuse to go in and check directly. If they were not allowed in, calling the police would be another matter.

Once you get in, in order to avoid any trouble, all the evil spirits will definitely come forward to negotiate.

Sure enough, as soon as I arrived at the residential building, several security guards surrounded me and said I was not allowed to enter.

Pei Yao, who had been behind Lu Qi, now stood in front of her.

She said, "My bag was just taken by a kid inside. I thought the kid was too young to go to juvenile detention. I'll just educate him and that's it. If you really don't let him in, I'll have to call the police."

The guards looked at each other and finally agreed: "Let's take them to see Brother Wang."

After confirming it, the guards decided to let Lu Qi and the others in to find Wang Mang, the person in charge, but there were too many of them, so only two people could go in.

Undoubtedly, it was Lu Qi and Pei Yao.

Walking behind the guards, we passed through several deep and dark corridors. The air was filled with the smell of dust and dirt.

Lu Qi looked at the people holding walkie-talkies, feeling a little nervous, and whispered to Pei Yao.

"Do you use intercoms to manage residential buildings?"

“Who knows, there might be even more unexpected equipment.”

Hearing Pei Yao's words in her ear, Lu Qi's eyes fell on the knife behind the guide and frowned: "I just sent you your information, have you read it?"

"I saw it, that's why I said there might be an accident."

"What should we do? It feels like we're walking into a dangerous place alone."

"Why not run now?" Pei Yao was not serious, but because of his joke, the originally tense atmosphere disappeared in an instant.

Lu Qi rolled her eyes at him, but then heard him say, "Teacher Lu, just focus on your work. I'll protect you."
