After rebirth, she first killed the book thief, and she was busy writing articles to save people Chapter 448: The development of the matter turned out to be...

The woman shook her head, stood up from the ground with the help of Jiang Baige, and said thank you.

Her foot seemed to be sprained, and she walked with a limp. Jiang Baige hurriedly asked the people around to make way for her, and helped her to sit down on the flower bed by the roadside.

When everyone saw that the farce was over, they remembered that they still had to go to work and quickly dispersed.

The woman looked at Jiang Baige, who was accompanying her without any hurry, and was also a little curious: "Aren't you in a hurry to go to work?"

As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Baige carefully and found that she was dressed the same as Cao Xiong: a hat, a mask, and sunglasses, and did not look like she was going to work.

Jiang Baige read the information from her eyes and asked directly: "Do you also know Cao Xiong?"

The woman suddenly became alert.

Jiang Baige was very familiar with this defensive posture.

It is common among women who work and live alone in big cities: they are highly alert to all unfamiliar people and things.

The same is true for Jiang Baige herself.

The first priority now is to make the woman sitting next to me let down her guard.

She thought of the "difficult" woman that Cao Xiong had mentioned on the phone before, and immediately decided to use this "prototype" to make up a story and apply it to herself.

"Don't be nervous. I'm dressed like this today to avoid him."

"Why are you hiding from him?"

The woman's expression became tense, as if she was worried about Jiang Baige. After all, she knew how troublesome it would be to get involved with a big, unreasonable, beastly man like Cao Xiong.

"Hey, this is a long story..."

Jiang Baige took off his sunglasses, looked at the woman with sincere eyes, and told the story.

She said that she had hired Cao Xiong to do the work for her house renovation not long ago. However, he not only cut corners but also did some dirty things. She caught him red-handed but he refused to admit it. In the end, although she fired him, it was a very unpleasant experience.

Originally this matter would have passed, but the decoration had to continue, so she still had to come to the building materials market.

She knew that Cao Xiong lived nearby, and she also knew that he was lazy and often delayed going to work until noon. That was why she came here early on purpose to avoid him.

But she still dressed up in advance so that even if she met such a man, she would not have to conflict with that unreasonable man who only used brute force.

I didn't expect to meet her today.

"It's just... I didn't expect him to come and cause trouble for you today! You don't even know, when I saw you two arguing, I was so scared that my legs went weak... I'm not as brave as you, and I actually confronted him head-on!"

Jiang Baige gave a thumbs up and deliberately turned the topic back to the other party.

The other party did not respond immediately.

In silence, Jiang Baige suddenly realized that there was a huge flaw in her story: because the building materials market basically opens at 10:30 or 11:00, and she was standing here before 8:00, saying that she was here to look at building materials, it didn't make sense at all.

If the girl in front of me has lived nearby for a long time, it is impossible for her not to know this.

Just as she was thinking about making up her lie, the woman opposite her suddenly said, "So, he also cheated you?"

She used the word "also", which means that her experience is similar to what Jiang Baige just said.

Thinking back to the time when Cao Xiong had been causing trouble for her, the content of their argument, and what Cao Xiong had said on the phone that day...

In a flash, Jiang Baige had a not-so-bold guess: it was very likely that the woman in front of him was the owner that Cao Xiong had mentioned on the phone before, the one who fired him, "caused" him to be driven away by the foreman, and left him homeless!

She had to find a way to get something out of the woman.

Unexpectedly, the woman took the initiative to talk about her own affairs.

The woman's name is Xia Ping'an, she is a programmer. She worked diligently for ten years, saved money desperately, and finally bought a house. After getting the house, she immediately started to promote the decoration work.

The foreman was a relative of her friend, so the coordination was normal. She also found a designer who understood her needs and did not design things randomly, so everything went relatively smoothly.

Things started to go wrong after the demolition was completed and a plumber named Cao Xiong showed up.

Just as Jiang Baige said, this person was very lazy. He came to work almost at noon every day and finished work before six in the evening. The construction period was delayed again and again.

Xia Ping'an felt that this was not a viable option, but she was very busy at work and the new house was quite far away, so she could not go to supervise the work every day. So she discussed with the foreman to install a few cameras.

The foreman didn't have any objection, but Cao Xiong was particularly disgusted with the camera.

After the camera was installed, it would break down every few days or it would not record any images.

Xia Ping'an was forced into a corner. One day, after coming to see the new house, he said, "Then I'll go back first," but in fact he didn't leave at all. Sure enough, he ran into Cao Xiong stealing electrical wires in the room and calling others to sell them.

"No wonder I said my house is only about 60-70 square meters, why do I need so many wires! I guess he's using them to make money!"

Now that she had discovered that Cao Xiong was up to something, she absolutely could not keep him any longer.

She immediately called the foreman over and made it clear that she would not use this person again. After the foreman took Cao Xiong away, he made it clear that he would replace him with a plumber.

After Cao Xiong was fired, he was replaced by a man who looked more honest and worked more seriously and steadily.

The camera was no longer problematic, the water and electricity renovation was progressing normally, and Cao Xiong did not appear again. Xia Ping'an originally thought that the matter was over.

Who would have known that one Friday night, after work, she wanted to go see the new house, and as she walked to the door, she saw Cao Xiong.

Before Xia Ping'an got close, he smelled a strong odor of alcohol.

She covered her nose and loudly asked Cao Xiong what he was doing in her house. But Cao Xiong pretended to be crazy because of drinking and made advances towards her.

Xia Ping'an was not prepared and was blocked in the corridor by him. He could only scream and call for help.

Fortunately, her next-door neighbors heard her and helped her. They also called the police. The property management also rushed over. Cao Xiong tried to run, but they held her back. The police also arrived soon.

But Cao Xiong still resisted stubbornly, relying on his brute force.

In the end, they took great pains to capture him. On the way to the police station, she heard the police say that they had never seen a suspect with such great strength.

But when he arrived at the police station, Cao Xiong became obedient.

He insisted that he did not mean it, but was just drunk and hoped to reconcile.

"So what happened in the end?" Jiang Baige was fascinated and eager to know how the story developed.

At this time, Xia Ping'an showed a slightly smug smile.

"He's a guy who only has muscles but no brains. He had no idea that the surveillance camera at the door of my house had already recorded his every move!"

At this point, Xia Ping'an's expression darkened again: "Who would have thought that when he saw that the evidence was irrefutable and he couldn't argue, he would actually beat me in front of the police!"
