And at this time on the eighth floor.
After finding her room according to the house number, Jiang Xi took out the key from her bag.
"Click--" The key was inserted into the door lock and turned gently, making a slight clicking sound.
She was about to push open the door when suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the next room, accompanied by the loud noise of the door panel colliding with the wall, and the man's surprised and excited voice.
"Hello! New neighbor!!"
"???"
Seeing the tall black figure running towards him, Jiang Xi's pupils shrank and he subconsciously stepped back holding the suitcase.
What the hell!?
The other party seemed to realize that his excitement had frightened the new neighbor, so he quickly stopped and raised his hand to indicate that he meant no harm.
"Sorry, sorry, did I scare you?"
He touched the back of his head awkwardly, with a sheepish smile on his face, "Hello, I'm your next-door neighbor. I... I just haven't seen a neighbor for a long time. I've always lived alone on this floor, so I'm a little excited."
Finally at this moment, Jiang Xi finally saw the man's appearance clearly.
The man was about 27 or 28 years old. He was wearing a loose black sweatshirt and sweatpants of the same color. He was barefoot and wearing a pair of flip-flops.
His face was not very handsome, and could even be said to be sloppy. The stubble on his chin was not cleaned up, his eyes were squinted, and there were dark circles under his eyes, and he looked like he had just stayed up all night. His hair was greasy, and when he smiled, his eyes narrowed into a small slit, which made people feel repelled but also found it difficult to refuse his enthusiasm.
Jiang Xi frowned calmly, but in order to maintain a good relationship with her neighbors, she still greeted him politely, "Hello, I'm Jiang Xi."
"Hello, hello, I'm Yang Hongjie." Yang Hongjie smiled and extended his hand, intending to shake hands with Jiang Xi.
“…”
Looking at the hand that had just touched the greasy guy, Jiang Xi's eyes twitched. She clenched the keys in her hand and nodded slightly, "Sorry, I have too many things in my hands."
The man was stunned when he heard the words. The friendly smile on his face suddenly disappeared, his face fell, and he even stared at her with some anger and resentment.
Seeing this, Jiang Xi's heart skipped a beat and he swallowed.
This should be the last helpful and sunny neighbor.
But this sunshine...is it serious?
She forced a smile and calmly changed the subject, trying to keep her tone gentle: "Oh, by the way, I also brought a gift. I'll give it to you when I've sorted it out."
"Gift!?"
Hearing this, Yang Hongjie's face instantly showed a surprised expression, "Really?! Neighbor, you are such a good person! I will help you move the suitcase! How about it!!"
“…Ha, ha, no need, I can do it myself…”
Seeing the other person's expression change again, Jiang Xi quickly revealed a distressed look, "I want to give you a surprise, the gift can't be seen by others, and the suitcase is not heavy, I can do it myself."
Hearing this, the man smirked and said, "That's right. I'll go back first. I'll wait for your gift."
"……good."
Only when he finally entered the door did Jiang Xi breathe a sigh of relief.
It seems that this neighbor is not a good person either.
She was just about to pack her things when the phone in her pocket rang.
“Ding-ling-ling——”
Looking down, I saw the note above: Boss.
When I picked up the phone, a cheerful man's voice rang out from the other end: "Jiang Xi, you've moved in now, how do you feel?"
“…”
She is dying, believe it or not.
Jiang Xi exhaled, and as a normal person would react, his tone was mixed with a bit of fear: "Fuck, boss, I feel like everyone in this building is crazy."
Unexpectedly, the man on the other end got even more excited after hearing this: "What? Crazy?? That's great!!"
Jiang Xi: “…”
As if sensing Jiang Xi's silence, the man coughed, then spoke soothingly: "Jiang Xi, our line of work is all about digging up big news. Don't you know that our newspaper is going to go bankrupt? We've been waiting for your explosive news."
“……” Can you come and live here and dig it yourself?
Realizing that the call was for a message to him, Jiang Xi frowned and asked patiently, "Boss, what's so special about this building? I feel like there's nothing special about it except that there are a bunch of psychopaths living here."
The man seemed to have triggered some key words, and his tone suddenly lowered: "Don't tell me, it's true. Let me tell you, there is a peace rule in this building, and at midnight, all kinds of strange things will happen in this building. You just need to figure these things out for me."
After that, he added: "You see, it's such a simple thing."
“…”
Simple?
Did you know she was almost killed in the elevator just now?
Just because I looked at someone else’s husband for a little longer!
After knowing the important information at twelve o'clock, Jiang Xi took a deep breath.
When I hung up the phone, I couldn't help but curse loudly:
"God damn it! Why don't you come by yourself?!"
Then he hung up the phone casually.
[Hahahaha, this new guy is really interesting. ]
[What a despicable boss! He knew there was danger, but he wanted the news. He himself didn't dare to come, so he let his employees risk their lives for him. ]
[The newbie scolded well! I understand it so well! Thumbs up for you! ]
