Chapter 046 Jinjiang Debut
"He has anything else to do?"
Fang Xingye sat down and asked in annoyance, "It's already like this, how much worse can it get?"
Bai Mian: "Fang Qiong didn't become a security guard after graduation. He has been working as a security guard since he left the village. The tuition you gave him for college was squandered by him."
Fang Xingye slapped his thigh and said, "This prodigal son! I worked hard at home to farm and saved all that money. I usually don't want to spend it, and I don't want to go to the hospital when I'm sick. But he spends money lavishly. It makes me so angry!"
Fang Xingye said, squatting on the ground in frustration, his eyes red: "I worked so hard for so many years, and I thought I had trained a college student, but I didn't expect that it was all in vain in the end! The most important thing is that everyone in the village knows that he has been admitted to Nancheng University, and the whole village has eaten my pig-killing dishes. Now that it has become like this, how can I have the face to go back to the village? I have become a joke in the whole village!"
The surroundings were silent, and no one knew how to comfort Fang Xingye. Fang Xingye was silent for a long time, and said self-deprecatingly: "Some time ago, this bastard bought a lot of things for my home, such as nutritional supplements and massagers. I thought he had made a fortune outside. Now that I think about it, I guess he bought them with the money I gave him for his college tuition. In the end, the wool comes from the sheep!"
"No," Bai Mian said, "These things were indeed bought with his own money. Since he became a security guard, he can earn over ten thousand yuan every month."
Fang Xingye's face was filled with hope again. "How could this be? I've seen his pay slip. His monthly salary as a security guard is only 3,000 yuan. Where does he get so much income? Does being a security guard give him bonuses? If that's the case, then being a security guard wouldn't be bad."
Bai Mian shook his head slightly: "This money was not paid by the security company, but earned from his side job. In addition to being a security guard, Fang Qiong has a second identity."
"What identity?" Fang Xingye asked nervously.
"A thief." Bai Mian said slowly, "As a security guard, he has been using his job to steal the owner's things, and then selling the stolen items through second-hand websites to make a profit."
Hearing these two words, Fang Xingye's last glimmer of hope was shattered. His knees went weak and he fell to the ground. He and his wife had worked hard to raise their son for so many years, but not only did they fail to cultivate a talent, they also cultivated a thief.
He murmured, "This bastard, damn it, has the guts to steal things. When I find him, I will break his legs and make him sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Let's see if he dares to steal things from others again!"
"Master, tell me what he stole. No matter how valuable it is, I will return it to him, even if I have to work like a slave for him!"
Bai Mian: "Underwear, he stole the underwear of female residents and then resold it. Since the amount of underwear was not high and did not meet the standard for filing a case, the residents in the community did not call the police."
"Underwear... women's bras and panties?" Fang Xingye's face turned pale and blue. "Why did he steal that? Does he have a tumor in his head?"
Lame Brother told Fang Xingye: "Some men like to buy some underwear that others have worn from the Internet. This is a fetish. There are all kinds of people in this world. It's normal that you haven't heard of it."
Fang Xingye's lips trembled, his chest rose and fell, and his blood pressure rose due to anger. He barely supported himself and stood up, and said to Bai Mian:
"Master, I can accept that he didn't get into college, but I can't accept that my son is a thief, and that he stole so-so despicably. This is simply a great shame! People in my Fang family can be unsuccessful, but they can't break the law! This is too outrageous. I can't just believe you after hearing a few words from you. I also want to hear what my son has to say."
As he spoke, he picked up the phone on the ground and prepared to call his son. Bai Mian reminded him, "Don't call your son now. The consequences will be serious."
Fang Xingye: "Why?"
Bai Mian: "Because he is stealing underwear from someone else's house."
After Bai Mian finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter. Fang Xingye felt very embarrassed. He said without caring, "Impossible, my son would not do such a vile thing. I have to make a phone call to prove it to you!"
He glanced at the time. It was 2:30 in the afternoon, which was past lunch time. If he called, his son would probably answer.
Thinking of this, he dialed the phone.
Bai Mian didn't have time to stop him and sighed helplessly.
————————
In the Longdi Garden community, Fang Qiong was climbing up the pipe outside the building. He used to climb trees often in the village, so he was very familiar with this set of movements. In just a few minutes, he climbed to the balcony of a house on the fifth floor.
This is an upscale residential area where every household has an open balcony. Normally, people hang their clothes on the balcony, which makes it convenient for Fang Qiong to steal underwear.
Today was Fang Qiong's turn to rest. No one could have imagined that he, who was supposed to be sleeping in the dormitory, would appear in the community. He glanced at the time. It was 2:30 in the afternoon. The security team would not start patrolling until 3 o'clock. There was still half an hour, which was enough time.
Fang Qiong has been eyeing this family for a long time. He knows that there is only a woman living alone in this household. The woman goes out to work during the day and comes home at night. There is no one at her house during the day, and this balcony is a blind spot for surveillance. There is simply no better choice than this.
Fang Qiong turned over and jumped onto the balcony of this family. He picked up the underwear that the woman had hung on the clothes rack. He counted the number of pieces and estimated the price in his mind.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the room. Curious, he moved closer and looked through the glass door, and found a man and a woman being intimate.
Fang Qiong felt itchy, so he tiptoed and hid behind a large green plant on the balcony, wanting to secretly watch the whole show.
When he saw the woman's face, Fang Qiong recognized her as the hostess who lived here. She would greet him when she went to and from get off work. However, he did not know this man and it seemed that he was not the owner of the place.
Fang Qiong had only watched for a few minutes when the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open. A man stormed into the bedroom and yelled at the man and woman on the bed, "How dare you, you two, do this in my house?"
Fang Qiong covered his mouth and laughed secretly. It turned out that this was the real male owner of the house, and the one next to the hostess was the "adulterer". It turned out that he had witnessed an affair!
The man and woman on the bed were both startled. The woman hurriedly sat up and put on her clothes. The man who was caught cheating looked calm. He got out of bed and walked to the male owner, handed him a cigarette, and tried to talk to him, but was slapped away by the male owner.
The male owner pointed at the adulterer angrily and cursed: "Xiao Sun, you are such a piece of shit. If I wasn't afraid of going to jail, I would really want to stab you to death! I treat you as a brother, but you cheated on me!"
Xiao Sun squatted down silently, listening to the man's scolding, not daring to talk back.
The man became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He continued to curse, "How did I treat you when you were unemployed and came to me for help? I used all my connections to get you a job as a driver in my wife's company, but what happened to you? In the house I bought, you were lying on my bed, with my wife sleeping. Is this how you treated me? Fuck you, I asked you to drive for my wife, not for me and my wife!"
Xiao Sun smoked a cigarette and still didn't dare to speak.
The hostess on the bed put on her clothes, walked down slowly, and stood in front of Xiao Sun in an imposing manner, saying to the host: "Don't talk about him, come to me if you have anything to say, I took the initiative, so why don't you go home and forbid me to find a man? Am I going to be a widow for the rest of my life?!"
The man was almost gritting his teeth: "Bah, is it that I don't want to go home? It's all for work! At the beginning, the company said that if I was sent to the south, I could only go home once a year, but my salary would be doubled. I asked for your opinion and you agreed. I went so far for this family. If I hadn't worked so hard, how could I have such a good life now, and how could I have this big house?"
"When I first went to the South, we had such a good relationship, and you cared about me every day. But later on, you gradually became cold. I realized something was wrong, so I bribed the neighbors across the street to help me keep an eye on you and let them notify me as soon as you brought a man home. I didn't expect that I would actually catch you in bed, you shameless bitch!
The woman snatched Xiao Sun's cigarette and took a puff herself: "That's right, I don't care about shame. I want a man. I am a living person with my own needs. To tell you the truth, I am tired of this long-distance marriage. Besides, I have been doing well in the company these years. I have been promoted and given a raise twice in a row. Even if I leave you, my living standard will not decrease. Let's get a divorce."
The man was furious: "You don't have to mention it. It's over between us a long time ago. It was over since the first time you cheated on me! But since you betrayed me, I won't let you go so easily. I will make posters about your cheating and post them everywhere in the company so that everyone will know what kind of person you are. I will ruin your reputation in the company!"
The man lowered his head and kicked Xiao Sun who was squatting on the ground: "And you, Mr. Sun, if you do something like this, you can forget about keeping your job!"
Hearing this, Xiao Sun clenched his fists, stood up, and changed his previous timid attitude: "No, you can scold me anything you want, but you can't make me lose my job. My family still depends on my salary to survive. If you dare to make me lose my job, I will not let you leave this door today!"
The atmosphere between the two men became tense, and the male host said provocatively: "Okay, let's try and see who can't walk out of this door!"
Just as the two men were about to fight, Fang Qiong was enjoying his meal when his cell phone suddenly rang. He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat and quickly hung up the phone, but the ringtone was still heard by the three people in the room.
The three of them walked to the balcony together. The man kicked away the pot of green plants and saw Fang Qiong hiding behind it.
The three people's faces changed. The male host said to the female host in disbelief: "Not only did you find men behind my back, but you also found two at a time. Your appetite is too big, isn't it? Why didn't I realize that you are such a woman before? Tell me the truth, how many adulterers do you have outside!"
Xiao Sun was confused: "Sister-in-law, do you have another mistress outside?"
The hostess was horrified and could not argue: "No, no, this is really not mine. I don't know him at all. I don't know how he got here. He suddenly appeared here!"
The male owner sneered disdainfully: "Come on, do you take me for a fool? I don't even know how he got here, you must have brought him home, could he be able to fly over rooftops and walls?"
The hostess shrugged: "I've already told you, if you don't believe me there's nothing I can do."
The man was so angry that his face turned pale: "You still don't admit it. Your underwear is in his hand. What else can I say? Come on, I don't want to waste my energy on you anymore. The three of you are having an affair, which is a crime. I'm calling the police now. If you have anything to say, tell them!"
As he said this, the man was about to call the police. Fang Qiong immediately panicked when he saw this. He was afraid that the police would find out that he was a habitual thief and put him in jail. In desperation, he climbed over the balcony railing and jumped towards the pipe, trying to escape through the pipe.
Perhaps because he was too panicked, he didn't grab the pipe this time and jumped directly off the building and fell on the ground in the community.

Fang Xingye's call to his son was hung up. He was a little embarrassed and explained to the people around him: "My son is probably on guard duty. It's not convenient for him to answer the phone while on guard duty. I'll call him later. Anyway, believe me, my son will never do such a dirty thing."
After a few minutes, Fang Xingye picked up his phone again and prepared to call Fang Qiong. Before he could dial, Fang Qiong called him back. Fang Xingye happily showed everyone:
"Look, he called me on his own initiative. I was just saying, my son must have been busy just now!"
Fang Xingye picked up the phone, and a strange voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Hello, are you Fang Qiong's father?"
Fang Xingye sensed something was wrong and immediately replied, "Yes."
The strange voice said, "Uncle Fang, I'm the captain of the security team. Fang Qiong is in trouble. He jumped from the building and broke both his legs. He is unconscious. The ambulance just sent him to the Municipal People's Hospital. The doctor said that the family members need to sign. Please come quickly! The specific situation is very complicated. I will tell you in detail when we meet..."
As Fang Xingye listened, he loosened his grip unconsciously, and the phone in his hand fell to the ground with a bang, breaking into pieces. He didn't care about the phone anymore and ran outside.
Bai Mian looked at his back and said, "He... didn't seem to give me any money."
After today's three fortunes were told, the crowd dispersed. Bai Mian said goodbye to the audience in the live broadcast room and turned off the live broadcast. It was still early today and she had nothing to do anyway, so she planned to go back to her room and read a book for a while.
Bai Mian stood up and just walked up to the second floor, she heard someone calling her from behind.
"master--"
She turned around and saw Li Mo and his wife standing at the door. Li Mo greeted them, "Master, did I bother you? We have been watching your live broadcast and came here specifically when you finished your business."
Bai Mian smiled at Li Mo and asked, "Are the test results out?"
"Well," Li Mo said with red eyes, "Just like you said, this child is really super male. I have made up my mind that I can't have this child no matter what. I plan to go to the hospital for surgery to abort this child."
Bai Mian knew that Li Mo was sad, so he patted her shoulder gently without saying anything.
Gao Jin kindly advised: "Don't be too sad. Having a child depends on fate. You two should calm down and live a good life. Maybe the baby will come one day."
Li Mo shook his head. "No, the doctor said that the possibility of us getting pregnant naturally is almost zero. We have discussed it. We just want a child of our own. In fact, this child does not have to be related to us by blood. Even if he is born by someone else, as long as he is raised by us, he is no different from our own child."
Gao Jin looked surprised: "Are you planning to adopt?"
"Yes," Li Mo nodded and looked at Bai Mian. "Master, we plan to adopt a child. I have already made an appointment with the orphanage. We will go to visit the children in a while. I would like to ask you to go with me and help me check and see which child to adopt."
"An orphanage?"
Bai Mian suddenly remembered that this was where he grew up.
