Chapter 272 Face Swap
Yi Ming didn't react to the commotion at first, but after hearing voices outside again, he slowly got up.
He looked outside with a hint of excitement, his eyes filled with undisguised desire. How long had it been since anyone had come to him on their own initiative…
Who could it be? If it's Ye Ran, that would be perfect...
Yi Ming quickly walked to the door, opened it, and his warm smile froze when he saw the middle-aged woman standing there.
Looking at this young man who hadn't showered for who knows how many days, Aunt Wang from the neighborhood committee couldn't help but scold him:
"Look at you, young man, why do you lock yourself in your room all day?"
When did you move in? I heard a while ago that new people moved into this house, why didn't you come to the neighborhood committee to let them know?
Yi Ming was speechless. What was going on? Why was an older woman suddenly knocking on the door?
Aunt Wang continued rambling, but Yi Ming had no interest in listening to her nonsense. He looked up and glanced around.
It was almost lunchtime, and there was no one in the alley except for this plump middle-aged woman in front of me, who kept rambling on and on.
Yi Ming listened to her long ramblings absentmindedly. Although he was impatient with her words, at least she was a living person, which was much better than him lying in bed alone.
After Aunt Wang finished her lecturing with lingering enthusiasm, Yi Ming replied perfunctorily, "I understand, thank you, Auntie."
After saying that, Yi Ming closed the door directly, startling Aunt Wang outside.
"That kid has no manners."
Aunt Wang walked to the alley entrance, cursing and swearing, and said to Lu Yi standing there:
"Don't call me next time something like this happens. People like that are beyond saving. Even if you ask someone else to tell me ten more times, it won't make a difference!"
Lu Yi smiled and slipped a red envelope to Aunt Wang, saying, "I was just a little worried about people like this living nearby. They never go out all day long."
Thank you, Aunt Wang. But I'm afraid he'll find out about this later and say we weren't honest enough.
Aunt Wang's smile was almost too big to contain. She quickly stuffed the red envelope into her pocket. "Don't worry, we're all neighbors, I'll keep it a secret for you."
Don't worry, Aunt Wang, you've got a tight tongue! From now on, I'll keep an eye on this young man for you. If anything happens, Auntie will tell you!
Lu Yi smiled even more broadly, "Then I'll trouble you. I'll treat you to dinner then."
Aunt Wang walked away with a smile on her face. Su Ji emerged from the corner and asked, "Is this auntie reliable?"
"She's alright! I heard she's the most tight-lipped person around here, and she's reliable too. Maybe she really can help us figure something out?"
Su Ji nodded, "These older women are indeed stronger in this aspect."
Lu Yi nodded in agreement, "Most importantly, did you figure anything out?"
Su Ji's eyes lit up. "I can tell, this person's face has probably been tampered with!"
"What do you mean?" Lu Yi's lips parted slightly. "Does it mean a face swap?"
Su Ji nodded, "That's right. We don't know what this person looked like before, but his face must have been altered, which is why it looks like this."
That's precisely why, with a face that isn't his own, he looks so fake, giving off an unreal feeling.
Lu Yi frowned slightly. "I can only think of one reason why someone would do something like this: this person must be someone we knew before."
But he dared not appear before us looking like that again, so he changed his face.
