Lu Xiaoman's face flushed red, but she didn't dare to do anything to Qin Bai.
She took a few deep breaths to suppress her anger.
"I understand. We'll be there in a bit. Just have Cao Fengjiao open the door; it's a simple matter."
Lu Xiaoman said.
"Very good, let's go now."
Qin Bai didn't like to waste time, so he led Lu Xiaoman directly towards Cao Fengjiao's house.
Arriving at Cao Fengjiao's door, Qin Bai stood in the blind spot of the peephole and winked at Lu Xiaoman.
Lu Xiaoman understood that now it was all about her performance; whether she could satisfy Qin Bai depended on this.
She reached out and knocked on the door a few times.
Who is it?
Cao Fengjiao's voice came from inside.
"Sister Cao, this is my Xiaoman."
Lu Xiaoman gave a sweet smile and spoke into the room.
"It's you! What brings you here? Where's Jiang Haochang?"
Cao Fengjiao asked, somewhat puzzled.
After all, Jiang Haochang was the one who came to discuss things with her before, so why did Lu Xiaoman come this time?
Lu Xiaoman smiled and said, "Haochang was exhausted last night and is still resting, so he asked me to come over."
"I'd like to discuss the specific details of the plan with Sister Cao."
It has to be said that women are natural actors; Lu Xiaoman's lies were so convincing that no one could tell at all.
Cao Fengjiao had no suspicions and was about to open the door when she seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, hasn't that brat come out yet?"
"Yes, we've tried several methods, but we can't guarantee we can lure him out."
"So, if all else fails, just let me step in. As long as I'm involved, I'm sure I can..."
Cao Fengjiao opened the door, but instead of Lu Xiaoman, she saw Qin Bai.
Cao Fengjiao reacted quickly and tried to close the door immediately, but Qin Bai was faster and reached out to open the door.
"Cao Fengjiao, you think you can do anything by just taking action? Lure me out? No need, I'm already out."
Qin Bai walked in with a smile.
Cao Fengjiao was so frightened that she backed away repeatedly. Her husband also noticed that something was wrong and quickly came to Cao Fengjiao's side.
"Lu Xiaoman, you bitch! I trusted you so much, and you actually got together with this bastard! Where is Jiang Haochang? Tell him to come see me!"
Cao Fengjiao was furious and pointed at Lu Xiaoman, cursing loudly.
Lu Xiaoman stood obediently behind Qin Bai without saying a word.
"Alright, stop acting in front of me. I already know that you and Jiang Haochang conspired to harm me."
Qin Bai sat down in the chair with a flourish and looked at Cao Fengjiao.
"How do you suggest we resolve this? If you can't give me a satisfactory result, you should know what will happen."
Seeing Qin Bai's expression, Cao Fengjiao immediately calmed down.
She and her husband were already old, and it was clearly impossible for them to deal with Qin Bai, a young man.
Moreover, Qin Bai had an accomplice by his side!
She just couldn't understand why Lu Xiaoman would give up Jiang Haochang and get together with Qin Bai.
"Rabbit... Qin Bai, what do you want? I have nothing left at home."
Cao Fengjiao said very straightforwardly.
"Because of what you said, I have nothing to eat now. Otherwise, I could give you plenty of food right now."
Cao Fengjiao placed all the blame on Qin Bai.
If she knew that Qin Bai had saved her life by revealing this matter in advance, I wonder what she would think.
bump!
Qin Bai slammed his hand on the table, startling Cao Fengjiao.
"I mean, give me an explanation, understand?"
Seeing Qin Bai's unfriendly gaze, Cao Fengjiao was very frightened.
She was genuinely worried that Qin Bai would beat her to death in a fit of rage.
It's often said that young people are prone to getting carried away with their emotions, and that's not impossible.
"I have no choice. I have no food and no money. What else can I do? Give you the house?"
Cao Fengjiao shouted in despair.
"That's not what I need. Just do me a favor, and I can let you go for now."
Qin Bai said calmly.
"What kind of help? Tell me."
"You must know everyone in the neighborhood very well, right?"
Upon hearing this, Cao Fengjiao said with great confidence, "Of course! No one knows better than me who lives in the neighborhood, what their names are, and what they do. I know it all!"
"Great! I want you to tell me the information of several locksmiths in the neighborhood, including their names, addresses, and so on. I need it all!"
Qin Bai wasn't stupid; he wouldn't directly tell Cao Fengjiao that one of them was a locksmith who could unlock combination locks.
Once she finds out, she'll definitely have other ideas.
"Locksmiths? What do you need their information for?"
Cao Fengjiao was very puzzled. If she remembered correctly, Qin Bai's house seemed to have changed to a combination lock, right?
What's the use of locksmiths who can only open ordinary locks?
"This is not your business. Just tell me directly."
"Oh well……"
From Cao Fengjiao, Qin Bai learned about the three locksmiths.
The three locksmiths are Niu Dehong, Sha Fu, and Zeng Qiangguo.
Since Qin Bai didn't know the names of the two locksmiths who survived his previous life, he had to go to each of them one by one to ask.
"I can let this matter go for now, but if you do anything else, it won't be that simple."
After Qin Bai finished speaking, he left directly, with Lu Xiaoman following closely behind him.
After they came out, Qin Bai said to her, "Go back by yourself, don't follow me."
Lu Xiaoman felt wronged. She felt that Qin Bai was like a scumbag who used her and then dumped her.
Unfortunately, Qin Bai was like a demon king in her heart, and she dared not resist him at all.
But before leaving, she still asked, "How is Haochang?"
“I gave him a good beating and then let him go, but it seems he didn’t go back to find you.”
Qin Bai then gave the reason he had already prepared.
Lu Xiaoman's eyes dimmed. Her previous actions were tantamount to betraying Jiang Haochang, and there was no longer any possibility between her and Jiang Haochang.
In her eyes, a woman must depend on a powerful man.
She previously relied on Jiang Haochang because he was very rich.
But now, she wants to rely on Qin Bai because Qin Bai has shown her that even without money, a man can still be very powerful.
Lu Xiaoman immediately lowered her head, made a rubbing motion with one hand, and her voice carried a hint of grievance.
“I’ve been with him for so long, and he just dumped me like that. I don’t know what to do now.”
"Qin Bai, can you tell me how a woman like me is supposed to live?"
