Bai Yao's inspection report came out, and as expected, no further problems were found.

Zhao Chenji came to the hospital early in the morning, and by the time he finished the discharge procedures, it was already noon.

"Let's go eat something, and then send you back, if there is anything inconvenient these days, call me, and I will help you deal with it." Zhao Chenji always cares about Bai Jin, and he has never found a partner so far, so some people have doubted his sexual orientation.

Bai Jin and Zhao Chenji have known each other for many years, and from the first day they met, his mother-like personality has always been the same. Even if he refuses him now, he will be mistaken for politeness and become meaningless, so he has to acquiesce to his suggestion and follow Zhao Chenji to the parking lot.

I saw a gray Porsche SUV not far away with the headlights lit up, although Bai Yao has not studied the car, but even people who don't understand cars at all can see that the steel beast in front of him is very valuable.

"I've always wanted to ask, is it a good salary to sell insurance?"

"It's not high, we mainly rely on commission income."

"Although I think it's unlikely, is it possible that your performance is very good?"

Zhao Chenji looked at him as if he was looking at a fool.

"So how much money did you make last month?"

"After tax, about 180,000."

……

……

"Great, so that I don't have to feel too guilty about charging you thousands of dollars for your mobile phone."

"What are you talking about, I only have you in Hedao. Get in. Zhao Chenji really felt from the bottom of his heart that the relationship between himself and Bai Jin was second only to blood relatives.

"Thank you, loved ones." Bai Jin actually doesn't quite understand what Zhao Chenji means by relatives, for him, relatives, lovers, and friends are just the names of social relations, and in his concept, these can be summed up in one word, called people he knows.

The reason for this situation may be related to his original family, Bai Yao's biological parents are in the catering business, and they have to start purchasing ingredients before dawn every morning, and they don't close until two or three o'clock in the middle of the night, and he has rarely felt the warmth of the family since he was a child. In his memory, the time when he had the most contact with his parents was when he helped out in the store every summer. This kind of life made Bai Yao self-reliant very early, and also made Bai Yao prematurely accustomed to the day when no one shared joy and no one shared sorrow. Later, his father died prematurely due to overwork, and his mother remarried to another businessman soon after, and like many restructured families, his stepfather did not have a positive impact on Bai Jin, but made him even weaker in interpersonal relationships. In the past five years after graduating from college, Bai Yao has further lost his enthusiasm for life, and many things can't be taken to heart.

But Bai Jin just has a cold temperament, but it doesn't mean that he is a boring person. For example, Zhao Chenji described Bai Jin as a funny artist who didn't recognize his six relatives. Although even he couldn't explain what this title meant.

"Speaking of which, I do have something to ask you for." Bai Jin remembered that the rented apartment was about to expire.

"It's rare, it's rare, you're really going to find someone to help. To be honest, I just asked you to call me if you have something to do, and I just said it casually, and I didn't think about it at all. We've known each other for nine years, right? I haven't seen you ask for help. ”

"If it's inconvenient, forget it."

"Don't don't, convenient, convenient, you say."

"I'm looking for a new apartment, preferably with a storage room."

"Change houses? Then don't look for it, you just move in with me. I still have an empty house in my house. ”

"Don't." Bai Jin refused without even thinking about it.

"My family is so big, it's a waste to live alone, you move here, and I don't charge you rent."

"Don't." What hurts more than refusing without hesitation is refusing twice in a row without hesitation.

"Come on, come on, I'll tease you, I knew you wouldn't come. Why don't you go to the 'crocodile net' to see, which one you like, I'll accompany you over in the afternoon." ”

"Crocodile nets?"

"You don't know? Big brother, have you really lived in Hedao? Crocodile network is the largest local life forum in Hedao, housing rental, second-hand transfer of any information, known as the first intelligence distribution center in Hedao, you search for housing rental posts, directly find the landlord, you can save an intermediary fee. I'll send you the URL, and you can go up and see for yourself if there is a suitable one. ”

Bai Yao opened the website sent by Zhao Chenji, and the page design of Crocodile.com was quite simple, so simple that anyone who saw it would think of an IT migrant worker with a beard who was alone in a dimly lit basement maintaining code. The different sections on the webpage are sorted according to the activity of the day, and the current first place is "Hedao Life", with an activity of a terrifying 10 million, and you must know that the permanent population of Hedao is only 4 million. It's amazing how much appeal this humble website has.

Opening the real estate section, a bachelor apartment quickly attracted Bai Jin's attention. A quiet location, an independent storage room, although the rent is not cheap, but with the ability of a mouse, as long as he wants, he doesn't need to worry about money at all.

Click on Collection, but an ad pops up.

"Download the crocodile app and pay attention to the things around you at any time."

The advertising pop-up window emitted a red-green light like spiritual pollution, and Bai Yao's brows suddenly twisted together, and he subconsciously stretched out to the fork in the upper right corner. Just as he was about to point to the screen, his finger stopped.

Bai Yao's biggest flaw is that he is not good at socializing, he neither cares about what is happening around him, nor does he have access to information. Just like he has lived in Hedao for 5 years, but he just discovered that there is a large community like Crocodile Net that collects information about Hedao.

All kinds of strange things have happened around him recently, if Huang Jiu is really a cat, the gap in intelligence is likely to be his own death hole. The coincidences that kept happening, like a kind of magic, kept pulling him forward towards the predetermined destiny. Bai Yao watched through the car window as the high-rise buildings continued to move backwards, and this beautiful city was gradually turning into a stage for the decisive battle between mice and cats. For Bai Yao, the crocodile net will be an indispensable source of information.

Eventually, his finger slid to the download button.

Zhao Chenji drove the car to a stop near the department store, and this foot brake pulled Bai Yao back from his thoughts.

"It's strange, it's not a weekend, why are there so many people?"

Bai Yao followed Zhao Chenji's gaze and saw hundreds of people gathered in the square in front of the department store.

"Could it be that the mall has done some activity?" Zhao Chenji muttered to himself.

At this time, Bai Jin's mobile phone sent out a crisp notification ringtone, which was a message pushed by Crocodile.com.

"A knife robbery is taking place at the International Trade Department Store, with pictures of the scene."

Bai Yao clicked on the post and showed it to Zhao Chenji.

"At 11:40 a.m., two masked gangsters armed with knives robbed the Baolu jewelry store on the first floor of the China World Department Store. The security guard stepped forward to subdue one of the gangsters, and the other gangster kidnapped a female customer and was confronting the security guard, but the police have not yet arrived at the scene. The store manager was stabbed several times during the fight with the gangsters and died on the spot. The following are photos of the scene. ”

In the photo, a woman is strangled by gangsters and carries a shining silver watermelon knife around her neck. In the pool of blood lies a man in a suit, he should be the store manager mentioned above, and the security guards are guarding the door with sticks, and they are confronting the gangsters. From the point of view of taking pictures, the landlord who posted the post should be at the front of the scene.

"Let's go, let's see."

Without waiting for Bai Jin to react, Zhao Chenji had already opened the car door and squeezed into the crowd.

Assuming that curiosity is indeed the source of progress, Zhao Chenji can single-handedly accelerate human civilization by 500 years.

Bai Jin looked at Zhao Chenji's disappearing back, shook his head, he had to rub shoulders with hundreds of people, he would rather sit in the car and watch the live broadcast of pictures and texts on the crocodile network.

The post of knife robbery has hundreds of posts at such a moment, including many on-site photos supplemented by enthusiastic people, the operation mechanism of the crocodile network is unusually simple, but it is not to display the information provided by the masses without filtering, and then among the many contents, select the most topical content and push it to users, that's all. As a result, it is precisely this simple mode of operation that is unique in the context of increasingly strict information regulation, and it has attracted many users.

"Whew!" The crowd in front of them suddenly let out a loud exclamation as if something had happened.

Bai Jin hurriedly refreshed the post.

Sure enough, someone uploaded the latest photo again. In the photo, there is an additional figure in a security uniform at the feet of the gangster. Through the information replied to the post, it was learned that the security guard successfully avoided the gangster's sight, sneaked behind him, and pounced on the gangster's saber when it left the hostage's throat and shouted at it with it. It's a pity that he patronized the gangsters, but ignored the environment around him and stepped on the glass on the ground. The sound alarmed the gangsters, and the hand holding the saber waved back, slashing right at the security guard's neck, slicing his trachea.

Bai Yao put the photo to the maximum, only to see the security guard breathing hard with his mouth open, his eyes full of fear and unwillingness. Maybe it's realizing that time is running out, and his face is full of tears.

What was he thinking at this moment? Is it praying to the gods and Buddhas, or is it remembering that there will be no one to take care of the wife and children at home in the future? Bai Yao only felt a cramp in his stomach, fortunately he hadn't eaten since the morning, otherwise Zhao Chenji's luxury car would have been full of vomit at the moment.

Someone uploaded a video of the scene, and the gangsters became even more irritable after being attacked, not knowing what they were shouting, and from time to time they slashed the security guards on the ground with the saber in their hands. The security guard was completely immobilized at this point, perhaps fainting, or perhaps dead. The hostage had cried into tears, her legs so weak that she could barely stand, and it was clear that what was happening in front of her was beyond the limits of what she could bear. At this time, the picture shifted to a little girl in the crowd. The little girl, about 4 or 5 years old, was held by an adult woman, constantly struggling to run in the direction of the jewelry store, and screaming for her mother in tears. A voice outside the screen said to the woman holding the child in her arms, hurry up and take the child away.

That's the end of the video. Bai Yao pinched his heart and watched it 3 times, and every time he saw the picture of the little girl, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"They're just irrelevant people." Bai Jin kept admonishing himself.

The swords in the gangster's hand were slashed down one by one, so that Bai Yao closed his eyes, and the little girl's heart-wrenching cry came from the mobile phone: "Mom, Mom." ”

Bai Yao suddenly opened his eyes, as if a great joy had happened, and laughed indulgently in the car.

"yes, why didn't you think of it?" Bai Jin felt a little sweaty in his palms, "People, get ready for the arrival of the Rat God!" ”
