Chapter 40 The Ringing Continues

was busy, the "Ding Dong" mobile phone rang, Lin Chen clicked on it, and it was a text message:

Hello, I am the landlord, please send the rent fee to my bank account, Agricultural Bank of China 8836*********

It's time to pay rent again?

Reading this short message, Lin Chen pinched the stalk on the back of his neck with his hand, stood up from the ground, moved his sore waist and legs, and paced back and forth in the room.

The embarrassment of life, the frustration of work!

No matter how hard it is, no matter how tired it is, no matter how hard it is, there is only one way to face it! Hold on, hold on! If you can't hold on, you have to hold on!

Alas!

Putting down the phone, he sighed, leaned lazily on the wall behind him, and slowly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, I don't know if he remembered something, Lin Chen didn't smoke it, but put the cigarette back in his pocket.

Pick up the phone again and jump the page to the online banking.

He quickly glanced at the payment history he had made to the landlord and clicked back to the text page.

After the comparison, he quickly came to the conclusion that this text message calling for rent payment should be a fraud!

The landlord's mobile phone number and account number are incorrect, and the last few numbers at the end of the landlord's account that collects money are almost engraved in Lin Chen's mind.

Damn liars!

If people are unlucky, they really drink cold water and stuff their teeth! This statement is not false at all!

Lin Chen threw the phone on the table fiercely.

The window opened, leaning half of his body on the back of the chair, feeling the wind blowing in from the window, Lin Chen thought to himself, it was almost time to pay the rent, if he was really confused and sent the money over, it would be uncertain! It's easy to make some money!

These liars! I can't wait to skin them alive!

Life is enough of screwing! There are so many scammers popping up, quietly sucking people's hard-earned money!

The more Lin Chen thought about it, the more angry he became, he picked up his phone, casually edited a scolding text message, replied to it, and threw the phone on the desktop.

After a while, the phone rang, and the phone rang nearly ten times before Lin Chen picked it up.

An unfamiliar, unknown phone call.

It must be that liar! Is it because he scolded him, scolded too badly, and called to prepare to scold himself back?

I don't think I'm annoyed enough! What a fucking back!

Lin Chen decided not to answer, but the phone rang endlessly.

Isn't it just scolding!

Who's afraid of whom!

Let's see what he has to say, and see what else this liar has up his sleeve!

Lin Chen paused for a moment and picked up the phone again, but just listened, but didn't make a sound.

There was no sound on the other side of the phone, and after waiting for a while, there was no sound, strange, is it a scammer playing some tricks? Lin Chen gently put down the phone.

Lin Chen re-edited a text message:

Swindler! Play with me! you! And then sent it.

In less than a second, a text message came back, with only two words:

Die!

Immediately, the phone rang suddenly.

As soon as the text message came, the phone rang again, and it seemed that the scammer couldn't sit still. Lin Chen was about to scold him, he picked up the phone, but there was still no sound on the phone.

"Hello? Speak! Feed! Feed! If you dare to deceive people, don't you make a noise! And tell me to die! Damn it's you! Your uncle's! ”

There was no sound on the phone, Lin Chen glanced at his phone, and let out a heavy "Humph!" in his nose. He hung up the phone decisively.

Contrary to Lin Chen's expectations, the phone actually rang again, Lin Chen hesitated, but still answered, regardless of whether there was a voice on the phone, Lin Chen decided to accompany him to the end, he wanted to see what this liar wanted to do.

"Lin Chen?"

The landlord's voice actually came from the other side of the phone.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

"Ahem!" Lin Chen coughed lightly, "Oh! What a big landlord! It's me! Big landlord, I'm sorry, hehe, just now I.. Hehe, I thought it was a liar! What's the matter with you? I called again and again and I didn't make a sound! Is it fun for you to play around like this? ”

When Lin Chen heard that the other party was really the landlord, he felt really angry and helpless.

"Huh? What the? I'm kidding you? Who's playing with you! Mr. Lin, isn't it time to call me the rent? Rent my house, I collect rent, it's a normal thing! Can't I just make a phone call and ask? ”

From the voice on the phone, you can tell that the landlord is angry.

Also!

is in arrears of rent, and it is only natural to ask! It's nothing to make a phone call!

"Big brother landlord, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that!"

Lin Chen secretly estimated that there might be something wrong with the phone just now, there was no sound here, or there was no sound over there!

So, he hurriedly made amends, and continued on the phone: "I said Xiaolin! Your rent has been behind for a while! I don't care if you want it, it's not that you don't! I also have to support my wife and children! ”

"I know! Big landlord, I didn't mean to be in arrears, I'm not short of money! If you give me a few more days, I've been spending too much lately, and everyone has a time when they are short of money! Big brother, just be considerate of me! ”

"Your hands are tight, my hands are also tight, it's not easy for everyone, don't you say?"

"I know, I know! In this way, I will pay my salary in a few days, and as soon as I have money, I will call you immediately, okay? Let's go in a few days! ”

Lin Chen was almost pleading, and a long sigh came from the other side of the phone.

"Alas! Alright then, just do as you say! I don't want to force you, but who is easy! Then give you a few more days, and don't delay any longer! ”

After listening to the landlord's words, Lin Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt a lot more relaxed.

"Thank you, big brother! Don't worry, I'll call you as soon as I get paid next month! He unbuttoned the top of his shirt, transferred the phone to his other hand, and continued, "By the way, why didn't you make a sound after you made a few calls just now?" Have you changed your phone? ”

"I didn't change my phone, and I didn't call you, did I? I'll just hit it once, and that's it! Just this time! ”

"Huh?"

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "My phone has just been ringing for a long time, and no one has spoken when I picked it up, I thought it was you calling!" Did you text me asking for rent? ”

"When will I text you to ask for rent! Xiaolin, there are a lot of liars now, you have to be more careful! If you pay the rent, you have to call me to verify, and then call! ”

"Hmmm! I know! ”

"Also, my rent, in a few days, will be in a few days! We can't put it off any longer! ”

"Okay!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Chen was a little upset, so he frowned, put his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth in the room for a few steps.

In the kitchen, there was the sound of a kettle on the gas stove "hissing" hot.

If it's not the landlord, who made the call?

Swindler?

Scammers' text messages are generally sent in bulk, and I can't guarantee which fool will send him money in the past, and he will make a lot of money in one or two sums, and he will really have the leisure to call over and fight with himself?

Scammers only cheat people out of money, and they don't curse themselves at every turn!

Lin Chen silently shook his head, leaned over, and quietly cleaned up the newspaper on the ground, but his brain was spinning rapidly.

Think of that silent call as a harassing call!

This kind of phone call that only rings and does not make a sound has been received by Lin Chen before, and there is nothing unusual, it is not reported by the media, saying that many of these calls are to induce users to call back to carry out telecom fraud, and there are also waiting for users to call back for advertising.

It's really nothing except for the liars, it's the ads!

Are you too nervous?

If you're too nervous, you'll feel like nothing is right!

However, how can I not be nervous!

What happened to the well last night! He clearly saw the face of the woman in the well, what was going on!

The woman's face in the well only flickered, and Lin Chen regretted that he didn't dare to look at it more, so that he couldn't remember that face, and he couldn't tell if that face was the woman in black he saw in the subway! Since I met the woman in the subway, there have been frequent strange incidents on the left and on the right, and they all seem to be related to me, are they really related?

The kettle in the kitchen made a screeching hum and the water boiled.

turned off the fire, and the humming of the kettle didn't seem to stop, until Lin Chen poured the entire pot of boiling water into the kettle, his ears could still faintly hear the humming sound, which continued and rang.

It stands to reason that when the fire is turned off, the humming of the kettle will end, but now, the kettle is ringing endlessly.

No, the sound didn't come from the kettle, it came from himself!

Lin Chen put down the kettle and covered his ears with both hands, and the humming sound became clearer.

It's like an alarm!

Helplessly, the alarm seems to be in his ears, in his brain, he can't dodge, he can't escape, this continuous sound is enough to make a normal person crazy!

Lin Chen rushed back to the bedroom with his head in his arms!

He stuffed his ears with balls of cotton again, and dug his head into the quilt, and the damned hum showed no sign of abating.

Forced to be helpless, he smashed his fist on his head like a raindrop, and his mouth let out an uncontrollable "Ah! Yes! Yes! Voice.

This lasted for two or three minutes, and the tinnitus gradually subsided!

Coming out of the quilt, Lin Chen was already sweating profusely, he rushed to the bathroom and poured cold water on himself thoroughly, and the sound disappeared completely.

Walking out of the bathroom with a towel, Lin Chen's heart became even more nervous.

He firmly believes that if that sound continues like this, he will definitely hit the wall! No normal person can tolerate this kind of nerve-disturbing stimulation for a long time!

How could my always healthy self suddenly have tinnitus?

And it came without warning!

Lin Chen uneasily took out a book "Health Encyclopedia" from the bookshelf and slowly flipped through it against the shelf.

Here's what the book says-

About tinnitus: Tinnitus is the result of different pathological changes in many diseases involving the auditory system, with complex etiology and unclear mechanisms, mainly manifested as no corresponding external sound source or electrical stimulation, but subjectively sound sensation in the ear or skull. Clinically, it is both a co-symptom of many diseases and the first symptom of some serious diseases (eg, acoustic neuroma).

A chill rushed from his heels to the tips of Lin Chen's hair, and Lin Chen's heart was in his throat.

Neuroma?

Could it be that I would have this terrible disease?

No wonder the fortune teller of Yunfu Temple said that he would be like Xu Aqi, and he would only have three years of longevity!

No!

I've always been healthy and won't get this disease!

Behind this, isn't it said that the cause is complicated! Many conditions can trigger tinnitus! For example, you have earwax in your ears! Nervous!

Calm! Don't scare yourself yet!
