Chapter 673: A Chance Encounter
For several days in a row, Qiaochen kept offering his courtesy to Wu Nuo.
Wu Nuo wanted to refuse, but Qiao Chen always ignored Wu Nuo's refusal on the grounds that "what I want to do is my own business, it has nothing to do with you".
Wu Nuo had no choice but to let the dust go, after all, it was good to have someone to help prepare breakfast every morning.
That night, while Wu Nuo was resting in his room, he was suddenly knocked on the door severely.
"Who is it?" Wu Nuo asked in surprise.
But soon, the sound of the beating stopped again.
Wu Nuo thought that Qiaochen had a spare key here, and wondered if it could be Qiaochen coming, so he asked tentatively: "Qiaochen, is it you?" ”
But no one answered outside the door.
Wu Nuo felt a little scared.
"Qiaochen, if it's you, you can answer, don't scare me!"
There was silence all around, and the movement outside also stopped abruptly, as if it was just Wu Nuo's auditory hallucination.
Wu Nuo knew that it was definitely not Qiaochen outside, because Qiaochen would never pretend to scare himself like this.
So, Wu Nuo hurriedly rushed over and locked the door.
At the moment when Wu Nuo locked it, the handle outside the door was also turned with a force, but fortunately, Wu Nuo locked it in time, otherwise the door would have been opened by the people outside.
"It's dangerous!" Wu Nuo sighed for a while, and cold sweat began to seep out of his back.
The person outside the door turned the doorknob a few times and found that the door was locked, so he gave up.
Wu Nuo's whole body was curled up in the quilt, shivering.
Because the phone happened to be in the living room, she just wanted to call the police or ask others for help now, but there was no way, so she couldn't risk rushing out to get the phone.
"Who the hell is out there?" The more Wu Nuo thought about it, the more frightened he became, for fear that the man would suddenly break down the door.
But fortunately, the people outside lingered for a while and left.
But Wu Nuo still didn't dare to go out, so he shrank in the bed until dawn.
Early the next morning, Qiaochen came over to make breakfast for Wu Nuo as usual, but as soon as he entered the door, he saw that the living room was in a mess.
Qiaochen was shocked, and hurriedly knocked on Wu Nuo's door.
"Nono, are you in there?" Warp Dust shouted as he banged on the door.
Wu Nuo heard Qiaochen's voice, and the string that had been tense in his heart relaxed, so he hurriedly went to open the door for Qiaochen.
"Nono!" Qiao Chen looked at Wu Nuo with two dark circles under his eyes, and was surprised for a while, "What happened, why did the living room become like that?" ”
"The living room?" Wu Nuo walked out of the door and took a look, only to find the mess in the living room.
Wu Nuo told Qiaochen about last night's events, and Qiaochen was also surprised when he heard it.
"Could it be a thief?" Qiao Chen guessed, "I've heard that the security in this area is very poor, and there are often thieves!" ”
Wu Nuo checked the situation in the living room, and indeed found that the slightly more valuable items were looted.
"It seems that the house was really visited by thieves last night." Wu Nuo said with a sigh of relief.
"Good thing you didn't open the door!" Qiao Chen also felt scared for Wu Nuo for a while, "But in this way, it is really unsafe for you to live in this kind of place as a woman!" ”
"There's no way around that." Wu Nuo sighed helplessly and replied, "This place is relatively close to the new store, and the transportation is convenient in all aspects. Moreover, the main thing is that it is not realistic to find a new place to live in a short period of time. ”
Qiaochen felt that he had an obligation to protect Wu Nuo's safety, and he couldn't let Wu Nuo stay at home alone during this time.
But on the other hand, Qiao Chen was afraid that his idea would make Wu Nuo disagree.
After hesitating for a moment, Qiao Chen cautiously spoke.
"Nuno, you see that this place is so dangerous now, I really can't rest assured that you live alone." Qiao Chen said to Wu Nuo, "Otherwise, let me stay with you during this time, so as to ensure your personal safety!" ”
Wu Nuo did not answer.
Qiao Chen thought that Wu Nuo was thinking of some reason for refusal, in order not to make it difficult for Wu Nuo, he hurriedly spoke: "If you really feel inconvenient, then I ......"
"Yes." Wu Nuo interrupted Qiaochen's words without thinking.
Qiao Chen was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had heard something wrong just now.
"Nono, what did you just say?" Qiao Chen looked at Wu Nuo with a surprised face, "You just said, what can you?" ”
"I said, you can stay with me for a while." Wu Nuo answered Qiao Chen's question affirmatively, "I'll go clean up a room for you!" ”
Wu Nuo's answer made Qiao Chen feel very surprised.
"Oh my God, I'm not dreaming!" Qiao Chen thought very excitedly, "Nuo Nuo actually let me live in her house, does this mean that I have taken a big step closer to my goal!" ”
The more Qiao Chen thought about it, the happier he felt, and he almost hummed a minor tune.
"After all, I have to thank the thief last night!" Qiao Chen thought happily in his heart.
In fact, the reason why Wu Nuo agreed to let Qiaochen stay with her for the time being was because she was really scared.
If another gang of thieves came tonight or something, she couldn't be sure if she would have the same luck as last night.
So, Wu Nuo cleaned up a room for Qiaochen and let him live temporarily.
And Wunuo's situation is not single, and other residents in the community have also encountered the same situation as Wunuo.
Therefore, when Wu Nuo went downstairs, he saw a large group of people gathered behind the door of the neighborhood committee, about to appeal about this matter.
"Those thieves are so rampant!" The residents of the community were indignant one by one.
"That's right, such a community, how dare we continue to live!"
"The security of our place should be well managed, otherwise what is the use of us paying so many property fees!"
But the people in the neighborhood committee never responded positively.
"Why didn't the people from the neighborhood committee come forward to respond to the questions?" Puzzled, Wu Nuo asked the surrounding residents who had lived here for a long time.
"Those guys are just idle eaters." An aunt said while nibbling on melon seeds, "I'm used to being idle, it must be difficult to ask them to do something practical!" ”
"Appealing here or something, it's a waste of time!" Another melon-eating resident also responded, "Anyway, you still have to rely on yourself to take precautions, and you can't expect those people to do anything practical!" ”
Wu Nuo felt that the results had not yet come out, so why were these people's thoughts so pessimistic.
At this moment, Wu Nuo heard a few more people talking about this matter as they walked.
"If the appeal is useful, will it have to wait until now?"
"That's right, I've said this thing more than ten times, and there hasn't been any action yet, and the neighborhood committee doesn't care at all."
Hearing the conversation of these people, Wu Nuo originally had a glimmer of hope, but now he is back in a predicament.
She realized that it would be a bit difficult for them to handle the matter.
Do you really have to find a place to live again?
But to everyone's surprise, this appeal really had a very significant effect.
The security of the community was soon improved.
Moreover, there are even additional manpower around the community to patrol from time to time, so there are basically no more thieves breaking into the house.
This phenomenon is very surprising to everyone, because it has not been effective before, so this appeal was just a chance, but I didn't expect it to be effective.
But after all, it's a good thing, so people don't think much about it.
On this day, Wu Nuo was about to go out to buy groceries, and near the entrance of the community, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.
"Qin Changxu?" Wu Nuo was very surprised, "Is that Qin Changxu?" ”
Wu Nuo felt very strange, and was not sure if that person was Qin Changxu.
"It should be someone who looks alike, how could Qin Changxu appear here." Wu Nuo thought to himself, and wanted to turn away.
However, just as Wunuo turned around, he was stopped.
"Nono!"
Wu Nuo turned around and saw Qin Changxu running towards him.
"It's really him......" Wu Nuo thought in surprise.
Although he didn't know why Qin Changxu appeared here, out of politeness, Wu Nuo still greeted Qin Changxu.
"Such a coincidence, Qin Changxu." Wu Nuo smiled, "I just happened to go grocery shopping, so I won't invite you up for tea!" ”
Wu Nuo said politely, turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Qin Changxu.
"Wait a minute, Nono!" Qin Changxu stood in front of Wu Nuo and said, "I came here to find you on purpose. ”
"Looking for me?" Wu Nuo looked at Qin Changxu puzzled, "Is there anything to find me?" ”
"Nuno, the community you live in now is not very safe!" Qin Changxu said to Wu Nuo, "I hope you can move out of here and find a safer place to live." ”
Wu Nuo was speechless.
"This community was really not very stable some time ago, but now it is much better, and the security has risen, so you don't have to worry!"
"Nuo Nuo, in terms of public security, that's because ......" Qin Changxu wanted to continue to say something, but was coldly interrupted by Wu Nuo.
"Well, at the end of the day, these are my own problems, and they don't have much to do with you." Wu Nuo replied coldly, "I still have something to do now, so I won't talk to you about it!" ”
After Wu Nuo finished speaking, he turned around and left, no longer paying attention to Qin Changxu.
Qin Changxu looked at Wu Nuo's distant back and sighed helplessly.
"Nono, why don't you understand......"
Now, the renovation of the new bookstore is almost finished.
In order to stabilize the supply problem between various suppliers and bookstores, and ensure that the supply of bookstores will not be out of stock or stop supply, Wunuo decided to temporarily look for some new investment points.
