Chapter 587: A False Alarm?
She was a little panicked, the last person she wanted to see at this moment was Pei Tingyuan, she looked at the door again, afraid that someone would suddenly knock.
When she first booked this hotel apartment, she deliberately asked a lawyer to use someone else's name, maybe she thought too much about it?
She swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously, Aunt Du has been in this industry for more than ten years, how could she not see the change in her mood, and asked softly: "Miss Qiao, are you not feeling well? I'm going to call a taxi and take you to the hospital?"
Qiao Xihe waved her hand, if those people were really sent by Pei Tingyuan, as soon as she went out, didn't she just hit the ground and throw herself into the net?
"I'm fine...... It's ......" She pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go back to my room to rest first, and if someone knocks on the door and says they're coming to me, they'll say there's no one here, and they're in the wrong place." If they try to break in, contact the hotel's security. โ
Aunt Du looked at Qiao Xihe, her lips moved, and she responded, "Okay, I understand, Miss Qiao." โ
All she needs to do is follow her employer's instructions, and the employer's family affairs have nothing to do with her, and there are no rules when she asks.
Qiao Xihe slowly stood up, and with the support of Aunt Du, he returned to the bedroom.
"Close the door too. Qiao Xihe lay on the bed and said.
Aunt Du nodded and closed the door.
Qiao Xihe clenched her mobile phone, stared at the door nervously, and listened to the movements around her with bated breath, and the birds flying outside the window, chirping twice made her think it was noise, and what she was thinking about was what the two men in black suits were doing, were they asking the residents at the front desk of the apartment, or had they already taken the elevator and walked towards the room where she was?
No, she couldn't just sit still, got up and put on her slippers, and tiptoed to the back of the door, listening to the sounds outside.
Time passed extremely slowly, a layer of fine sweat appeared on Qiao Xihe's forehead, and there was still no movement outside the door.
She went to the bedside and hid behind the curtains to look around, the black sedan still parked in front of the apartment, and the two men were clearly not gone.
Qiao Xihe quickly returned to the back of the door, and as soon as he stood firmly, he heard the doorbell.
"Jingle bellsโjingle bellsโ"
The sound was like a thunderbolt, rumbling in her ears.
Her heart suddenly rose to her throat, and she almost forgot how to breathe.
Aunt Du went to answer the door, but she didn't open it, but asked through the door, "Which one?"
The person outside the door said: "Hello, I am a maintenance worker of the apartment property, the owner's house upstairs in your house is leaking, so we have to replace a section of pipe, it will be more convenient to walk from your house, I don't know if it is convenient? It only takes half an hour." โ
Aunt Du said, "Water leakage, my house doesn't affect it?" she said as she opened the chained door through a crack, and looked at a few people outside the door vigilantly, "Could you please show me your work card?"
"Yes, ma'am. The visitor picked up the badge hanging on his chest and held it up to her.
Aunt Du looked at it, and sure enough, it was the property, and there were steel stamps on it, and there were two people standing behind the maintenance worker, one holding a toolbox, and the other with a section of pipe at his feet.
She hesitated for a moment, and then an old lady in her sixties and seventies came out and begged: "Trouble you, just let them go in and repair it, otherwise my family will be affected by the Water Enma and will suffer, this is the house that my daughter has worked hard to buy for a long time to support my old age......"
The property maintenance worker said: "Yes, if this pipe is not repaired, your family will suffer sooner or later." โ
Aunt Du relented and said, "Okay, you guys come in." I'll get shoe covers for you, be careful, don't stain my house, I'm a cleanliness person. โ
The maintenance worker said: "Don't worry, Auntie, if it gets dirty, our property will send cleaning staff to help you clean it up." โ
"Okay, okay. Aunt Du put down the chains, opened the door, and let the people from the property in.
The old lady kept thanking Aunt Du, "Excuse me, thank you, thank you......"
"It's fine. Aunt Du thought about it, closed the door, and then followed the people of the property to the kitchen, watching them methodically disassemble the top cover of the ceiling and start replacing the pipes.
Qiao Xihe listened to the movement outside meticulously.
She stroked her chest and let out a long sigh of relief, was it a false alarm?
She came to the bed again, and the black sedan disappeared into the door of the apartment at some point.
Qiao Xihe completely relieved her mind and planned to go back to bed to rest, with such an emotional change just now, she now feels that she can sleep anytime and anywhere.
At this moment, Aunt Du's "ahh
Her heart tightened, and she almost asked, "What's wrong?", but after thinking about it, she covered her mouth and quickly walked to the back of the door.
Aunt Du said, "The pipeline is repaired, you can go." Eh, what the hell are you going to do, if you don't go out again, I'm going to call the police!"
Qiao Xihe felt that the people outside were coming to the bedroom, looked left and right, and hurriedly got into the closet.
She had just moved in, so there were only a few clothes and a few sets of bedding in her closet, empty enough for her to hide here as an adult.
As soon as she closed the cabinet door, the bedroom door was opened, followed by Aunt Du's scolding, "I have called the police, please all go out!"
The maintenance worker glanced around the house, turned back to Aunt Du and smiled: "Auntie, don't be nervous, I'm just taking a look at the situation in the house, if there are any problems, I can help you fix it by the way?" We are really kind, Auntie, we are all property staff, and we are not robbers." โ
Aunt Du said angrily: "You are too enthusiastic, okay, go out quickly, I'm going to take a lunch break." โ
"Okay, then I won't bother you. "The maintenance worker owes himself and goes out with his men.
Aunt Du hurriedly locked the door, looked out from the cat's eye for a long time, and made sure that the maintenance workers got on the elevator and left, and then returned to the bedroom in a hurry.
"Miss Joe? โ
Qiao Xihe came out of the closet, smoothed the broken hair that fell from his ears, and asked, "Are they all gone?"
Aunt Du said: "Yes, they are all gone, I think these people are too strange, how to look at it at home, if it is not really a work permit for the property, I have to wonder if it is a criminal who has mixed in." Fortunately, it was a false alarm, Miss Qiao, you can sit down and rest, it's okay. โ
Qiao Xihe went back to the bed and sat down, thought about it, picked up his mobile phone, and called the lawyer.
"No, let's live in another place. โ
