Qin Bai shook his head decisively: "No."
Just kidding, Lu Xiaoman's situation is entirely her own fault. What does her current situation have to do with me?
Lu Xiaoman was only slightly taken aback before recovering. This wasn't the first time she had experienced Qin Bai's behavior, and she had already gotten used to it.
She knew that the first thing she had to do to win over Qin Bai was to change his impression of her.
In his mind, she was probably a woman who would stop at nothing to achieve her goals.
That was indeed the case, but this time she genuinely believed Qin Bai was different, and she wanted to follow him.
Unfortunately, it would be very difficult for her to make amends now.
Lu Xiaoman did not give up; she felt she still had a chance.
"Brother Qin Bai, is there anything I can help you with?"
The way he called out "Brother Qin Bai" made him tremble all over; the voice was just too sweet.
Her coquettishness had surpassed even Qiao Lianyi's, causing Qin Bai to frown slightly.
"Lu Xiaoman, don't try anything with me. We have nothing to do with each other anymore, understand?"
After Qin Bai finished speaking, he ignored the other person and left.
Lu Xiaoman's face stiffened; she hadn't expected Qin Bai to be so resolute.
"No man can escape my grasp, not Jiang Haochang, and not you either!"
If Qin Bai knew what Lu Xiaoman was thinking, he would probably scoff at it.
Do you really think he's that kind of lazy, stupid person?
Not to mention that he and she had some grudges against each other, and given that she was Jiang Haochang's woman, it was impossible for them to have any relationship.
Qin Bai quickly put the matter out of his mind, and the first person he went to find was Niu Dehong.
"This is it."
Qin Bai reached out and knocked on the door, and soon a muffled sound came from behind it.
"Hurry, we're out of food!"
It was clear from their voices that the other person was getting impatient from being harassed by so many people.
Qin Bai remembered something: some people like to get something for nothing, and they go door to door begging for food.
If you're lucky, you'll succeed.
If you're unlucky, at most you'll get a scolding, but you won't lose anything.
It was obvious that Niu Dehong did not give food to the others.
"Niu Dehong, is that right?"
Qin Bai asked.
"It's me. Who are you?"
Niu Dehong found it strange; the person outside seemed to know him, but he didn't know them.
He had only heard of Qin Bai's name, but had never seen Qin Bai in person, so naturally he did not know Qin Bai.
"I've come to you to unlock the door. If you help me unlock it, I'll give you food as payment."
Upon hearing this, Niu Dehong's breathing became heavier.
At this time, money is useless; only food is truly valuable.
"Really? What kind of lock do you want me to open? I can open any lock in the neighborhood."
Can you open the combination lock?
As soon as Qin Bai spoke, Niu Dehong's expression froze.
What is this? A combination lock?
Although combination locks are still locks, they are completely different from mechanical locks. Mechanical locks involve electronics, which he wouldn't know how to do.
"Are you fucking messing with me? Can a combination lock and a mechanical lock be the same?"
Niu Dehong was very angry, his voice filled with rage.
"That's not what I meant. I just found out you're a locksmith, so I came to try my luck."
"By the way, do you know anyone who can open a combination lock?"
This is Qin Bai's goal. If he's lucky, the first person he meets should be someone who can open the combination lock.
If not, he could simply ask the other party.
He believed that those in the same profession would know each other, and thus would know who could open the combination lock.
Upon hearing this, Niu Dehong said unhappily, "I don't know, get out of here."
Qin Bai frowned. The other party definitely knew, but didn't want to say it.
Since that's the case, Qin Bai was too lazy to waste any more time here.
Anyway, there are only two people left to choose from, so it's a 50/50 chance.
Qin Bai left and found a second locksmith, Sha Fu.
When he asked the same question, Shaf became even more agitated and immediately launched into a tirade of insults at him.
It seemed that unlocking the combination lock had triggered him, because this time Qin Bai didn't hold back and kicked the security door of his house a few times before leaving.
If neither of the first two is correct, then only one person remains.
Zeng Qiangguo.
Qin Bai climbed the stairs, and since the last person lived on the top floor, he was quite exhausted.
"If it weren't for finding this person, would I have climbed these stairs like this?"
As Qin Bai, panting heavily, was about to reach the rooftop, he heard a voice filled with despair coming from upstairs.
Don't hurt her!
The next second, a woman's scream rang out, then stopped abruptly!
Qin Bai's expression changed, and a crossbow instantly appeared in his hand.
He quickly climbed up, pressed himself against the wall, and stuck half his head out to look over.
The door of one of the houses was suddenly opened, and a man's crazed voice came from inside: "Zeng Qiangguo, weren't you so tough? I'll sleep with your wife right here in front of you, and then kill her. Doesn't that feel great?"
"You beast! I'm going to kill you, kill you!"
The other man's voice was filled with despair and anger.
Qin Bai leaned closer again, and this time he could clearly see what was happening in the room.
A man who looked like an honest person was knocked to the ground, his head covered in blood.
