The middle-aged man frowned, and directly slammed the security door shut, so fast that the wind coming from the door panel made Eric subconsciously take a step back.

"Get out!" The middle-aged man's angry voice came from behind the door, "Don't think I don't know that you are a fraudster, and you want to use my mobile phone to make that kind of fraudulent phone call and steal the money in my bank card!

"......" Eric was speechless, but he was glad in his heart.

He looked back at his house, knocked on the door again, and said helplessly: "Uncle, I really live in this house, not a fraudster, please don't be so excited, okay? Although there are many scammers and scam calls now, can you not be so vigilant? If you don't believe me, I can open the door of my house and show you?"

With that, he walked back, took out the key in his pocket, and opened the security door.

"Uncle, do you see it? I really live here, I really have an emergency, please help. ”

The middle-aged man who was peeping through the cat's eye turned red, knowing that he was wrong to be a stranger.

"It's all because the liars are so rampant now, what's wrong with my vigilance, I'm not wrong......" he muttered quietly, but instead of opening the door, he pretended not to hear, and went back to his bedroom.

With such a humiliating thing, how could he face others again?

He wouldn't apologize to people in person, saying that if he blamed people, it would be better to do something that didn't happen.

"Uncle?" called Eric again.

There was no response for a long time.

Eric knew that the middle-aged man would not come out, let alone borrow his phone.

He smiled slightly, and his face quickly returned to calm.

After seeing the appearance of the middle-aged man, and over his shoulder, seeing the simple and slightly messy layout of the house, and the faint musty smell from the house, especially when the man felt that his eyes seemed to be on the house, and he stood on tiptoe to block it, he roughly estimated the man's character.

He was a cowardly, stupid, good-looking, self-respecting man, which meant that a few words could provoke a man.

Therefore, he seems to be persuasive, but in fact he belittles men.

Although the middle-aged man was stupid, he still heard it, and naturally no matter what he said, he refused to help.

Eric showed a helpless look, returned home, and said to Qiao Xihe: "I'm sorry, there is no one in the household, and the family refuses to lend me a mobile phone, and treats me as a fraudster." ”

Qiao Xihe sighed, she heard the movement in the corridor.

You can't blame Eric for this kind of thing, after all, between strangers, helping is love, not helping is duty, and listening to the complaints between Aunt Du, scam calls have been rampant recently, and I don't blame people for being so vigilant.

Eric asked, "What now?" or ...... I'll help you go downstairs, find a public phone, call and ask?"

Qiao Xihe looked at the wall clock again, and there were only five minutes left before the lawyer's meeting ended.

Her heart pounded, and she walked briskly back to her room and opened the closet.

Eric and Aunt Du followed curiously, and saw her take out her hat, scarf, and mask, and arm herself fully.

"What ...... you," Eric frowned.

Qiao Xihe looked in the mirror and confirmed that there was no problem with his dress, before he said, "That's it, I'll go downstairs and make a phone call in person." I remember there was a convenience store nearby, so you could make a phone call there!

With that, she was about to rush outside, but Eric grabbed her arm.

"Xihe, don't go, I'll just go, it's dark now, after the heavy snow last time, the snow hasn't melted yet, the wind is cold and biting, it's not good for your health." Eric persuaded, motioning to Aunt Du with his eyes to help say a few words.

Aunt Du followed and persuaded: "Yes, Miss Qiao, Eric is right, your body may not be able to bear the cold in the middle of the night." ”

Qiao Xihe shook his head and said, "I'll be careful, and I've worn so much, armed from head to toe, where will I catch a cold?"

Eric was a little anxious, "Xihe, you insist on going by yourself, don't you believe me?"

There was a sudden silence in the bedroom.

Aunt Du licked her mouth, feeling that the atmosphere in the bedroom had become even more somber and depressing.

Eric was the first to break the silence and asked, "Is that it, Xihe?"

"......" Qiao Xihe coughed lightly and said, "No, I just want to confirm it myself." ”

Eric said: "I understand your feelings, but also take into account the actual situation. Your body, not suitable to go downstairs now, will catch a cold. I'll go, okay? I promise, I'll run, I'll run back, and tell you as fast as I can. ”

Qiao Xihe looked at him, his eyes showed concern and sincerity, but ......

Some things may be coincidental or unintentional, but too many coincidences and unintentional things come together, which indicates that someone deliberately arranged it.

She didn't want to doubt Eric, she didn't want to think about it, and now that the matter was urgent, she wanted to call herself.

"Eric, thank you for your kindness, but I want to go in person, this matter, I have to go in person. She said, "Besides, it can't be that I go alone, Aunt Du will accompany me?

This time, the problem was thrown to Eric's side.

He smiled helplessly, Qiao Xihe is indeed a person who is not easy to fool casually.

Even if you can lie to her once or twice, but if it's a little too much, she will definitely see it.

Do you really want her to know what Pei Tingyuan has done for Qiao Minglei?

He had a hunch that when Qiao Xihe knew, he would have to return to Pei Tingyuan's side, and everything he had done so far would be in vain.

How could he be willing to lose to Pei Tingyuan?

Qiao Xihe had already gone to put on his shoes, and he didn't stop him.

This trip is inevitable.

However, something should happen on the way.

Eric narrowed his eyes and followed, "I'll go with you, one more person will take care of you, and Aunt Du and I can rest assured." ”

Qiao Xihe looked at him, and after a few seconds, he said, "Okay." ”

So, the three of them went out together, took the elevator downstairs, and walked to the convenience store not far away.

"Xihe, be careful. Eric whispered, standing beside Qiao Xihe, blocking the eyes of passers-by.

"Hmm. Qiao Xihe lowered his head, his eyes kept glancing at the convenience store, and his heart beat faster.

After some arguments, it was long past the time to talk to the assistant.

What happened to my father?
