Chapter 167 Backfire

Xia Lili rubbed her hands and said, "I just wanted to ask if the sender looks friendly."

"At the laundry shop I used to work for, a customer had their carpet cleaned, but when they picked it up, they insisted we had switched it. It was such a mess..."

She looked embarrassed: "If this sender looks like someone who is not easy to deal with, then I have to be extra careful and take pictures of the traces when washing it to be sure."

"You're quite considerate." The middle-aged delivery man recalled: "The sender was a thin woman, wearing a hat and a mask. Judging by her attire, she seems to be well-off. You should be able to rest assured."

Xia Lili's eyes flickered. The image described by the elder brother was almost the same as the woman who came to pick up the carpet in her hallucination.

"But the strange thing is that she gave me this large piece at the side gate of the park."

The delivery guy was puzzled: "The stuff in here is quite heavy. I don't know how she got to the side gate of the park."

Just then, footsteps were heard at the entrance of the alley.

When Xia Lili saw it, she thought something was wrong. It was Feng Jinyan who came back!

There is no time to replace the carpet!

Feng Jinyan walked briskly, looking at the delivery man with a bad look in her eyes: "Lao Cao, what were you talking about with that little girl? Are you trying to cheat her out of her money and sex? Are you trying to get her to eat the young grass?"

The delivery guy quickly shook his head: "No."

Xia Lili explained, "No, Sister Feng, this guy told me that this shipment is valuable and requires a signature."

"I was debating whether to sign it myself or call you to do it!"

She muttered softly, as if she was afraid of making a mistake: "I'm afraid of disturbing you playing mahjong."

Feng Jinyan grabbed a pen, signed the delivery man's order, and sent him away.

Feng Jinyan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the delivery man walking away.

Feng Jinyan took in Xia Lili's expression and asked, "He didn't say anything bad about me, did he?"

"No, Sister Feng, does that delivery guy often say bad things about you?" Xia Lili's eyes were as clear and innocent as a college student.

"That's good." Feng Jinyan breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that this free apprentice would run away.

She and Xia Lili warned: "Stay away from him and don't believe what he says."

"He was unsuccessful in pursuing me before, and he got so angry that he spread bad words about me everywhere."

Xia Lili doubted the truth of Feng Jinyan's words. Did the delivery man know that he had pursued Feng Jinyan in the past?

Xia Lili glanced at the express box by the door. She wasn't sure whether Feng Jinyan had come back temporarily or had come back specifically to deliver this large item.

If Feng Jinyan leaves in a while, she will have a chance to replace the original with the fake one!

"Sister Feng, weren't you playing mahjong tonight? Why did you come back so suddenly?"

Xia Lili put on a harmless smile and said, "Did you forget to take something? Why didn't you just give me a call? I'll just send it to you."

——"No, I rushed back after receiving the news that the express delivery order had been delivered to the store."

Feng Jinyan's words completely dampened Xia Lili's hope.

As she spoke, she found a knife on the counter to open the package.

Xia Lili glanced at the time. It was only 10:32 pm.

In the hallucination, didn’t Feng Jinyan start unpacking the carpet delivery at 11:30 pm?

Could it be that Feng Jinyan changed her mind because I was in the store? She was afraid that the delivery man and I would expose her as a black-hearted capitalist, and she, the free labor, would run away, so she came back specially?

Xia Lili smiled bitterly.

"Don't just stand there like an idiot. Come, help me put this package on the ground and unwrap it."

Feng Jinyan began to greet Xia Lili.

Xia Lili responded and did as she was told. "Sister Feng, are you going to wash this tonight?"

Feng Jinyan explained as she unpacked the clothes: "This order is very important. The customer asked me to expedite the cleaning. If I finish it a day earlier, I can make an extra 400 yuan."

Xia Lili thought to herself, so that's how it is. Feng Jinyan probably thought that since she was back, she might as well wash the carpet early and make money sooner.

From this we can see that the woman who sent the carpet cleaner was very anxious to clean the carpet.

Seeing Feng Jinyan cut open the express box, Xia Lili gave up the idea of ​​stealing the carpet.

The two of them took out the things in the box together. A strong smell mixed with mold, stinky and fishy smell hit them in the face. Xia Lili almost vomited even though she was wearing a mask.

Feng Jinyan had seen a lot of storms, but when she saw the carpet in the box, she just frowned, "Oh my God, it hasn't been washed in years, and the smell is so strong!"

Exactly the same words as those in the hallucination.

But this time, with Xia Lili's help, it wasn't so difficult to take it out.

The carpet was spread out, and it was the same European-style carpet as in the illusion.

"This carpet looks quite expensive. To think they sent it to a small place like mine to be cleaned."

The carpet didn't look old, the pile was still thick and dense, but the whole carpet looked dirty and messy.

The dark brown stain seeped deep into the fabric like old, clotted blood.

Xia Lili adjusted the frame of her glasses and calmly filmed everything.

Hardened black grease accumulated on the edges, like the marks left by long-term friction from shoe soles; even more uncomfortable were a few sticky marks that had a suspicious luster under the light.

Feng Jinyan identified the stains on the carpet.

"This is so hard to clean. If he's so rich, he should ask for more cleaning fees!"

Feng Jinyan picked out the detergent she needed and asked Xia Lili to help hold it.

Then she and Xia Lili moved the carpet to the backyard where they washed large items.

Xia Lili used the motion of unrolling the carpet to conceal it, quickly scraping the worst-stained area with a utility knife. As the blade passed, black and red debris fell off—like clumps of old blood and grease, with a few suspicious dark fibers mixed in.

She quickly put the crumbs into a small transparent bag.

At this time, Feng Jinyan put on gloves, an apron and waterproof rubber shoes.

After she was dressed, she picked up the hose and began to wet the carpet.

Xia Lili quickly stepped aside.

"Sister Feng, do you need my help?"

Feng Jinyan said to the carpet: "Not now, I'll call you when I need your help later."

Xia Lili returned to the laundry shop.

Her eyes fell on the delivery box containing the carpet in the store.

After careful inspection, she found the express box had the flash delivery order number printed on it.

The receiving address is Jinyan Laundry and the shipping address is the side gate of Panhu Park.

Xia Lili secretly wrote down the order number and address.

She looked carefully at the appearance of the express box, trying to find some useful clues.

She found that the express box packaging was printed with Lingyu Building Materials.

This express box was originally used to store building materials.

Xia Lili turned the express box over and checked it carefully, and found that the original express delivery number was still attached to the box!

One side of the express delivery note has been worn out a lot, but the recipient's address can still be vaguely recognized!
