642 · Haining Cat Island (52)
Brother Li sent an address to everyone, and the exploration team members were divided into two groups. One group waited for the burst pipe to be repaired at Maode College, and the other group followed Guan Hongyan to Brother Li's house.
Li Ge's home is in a new residential area on Haining Island. After getting off the bus, everyone walked a long distance and finally stood in front of the community gate.
During working hours, there were no people in the community. Only one or two cats would occasionally flash in the green belts or grass. Everyone followed the house numbers on the address and went to each house one by one, and finally found where Li Ge lived.
"We're actually pinned down," Guan Hongyan looked up at the second floor and curled her lips, "Damn, this is too tight a defense."
When they were video chatting with Li Ge just now, they could vaguely see that the window that was open in the last video was now closed. They thought it was just locked from the outside, but they didn't expect it was not blocked with wooden boards.
"This is too..." She scratched her head and saw the shadow of a cat flashing in the shadow of the tree next to her. She quickly swallowed the words in her mouth and changed the subject, "Rice noodle rolls, we are in your area now."
When it comes to playing the villain, is there anyone more talented than Lu Changfeng?
Lu Changfeng was obviously already familiar with this business. He nodded, took a few steps forward, and banged on the door aggressively: "Open the door! Open the door!"
No response.
Lu Changfeng turned around and looked at Guan Hongyan, and she made a mouth gesture that said "keep smashing".
"Open the door! I know someone is at your house!" Lu Changfeng turned around and slammed the door a few times, "Open the door!"
This time, after a few seconds, a female voice came from the door: "Who is it?"
"Looking for Wu Zhili! Open the door!" Lu Changfeng raised his voice and slammed the door a few more times.
The footsteps inside the door gradually approached and finally stopped at the door, probably looking outside through the peephole.
"Du Zhongsheng, hurry up," Guan Hongyan pushed Bai Jinshu imperceptibly, "it's your turn now."
Bai Jinshu: ...
He took a step forward, replaced Lu Changfeng's position, and nodded at the cat's eye: "Hello, let's look for Wu Zhili."
Perhaps it was because he looked much friendlier than the scarred Lu Changfeng, coupled with his beauty that could never be defeated, the person behind the door paused for a long time, then opened the door a little and looked at the person outside cautiously.
"Why... are you looking for Wu Zhili?" A middle-aged woman's face appeared at the door.
Seeing so many people at the door, a hint of surprise appeared on her face, and the exploration team members at the door were also surprised for a moment.
"This doesn't seem like..." Guan Hongyan turned her head and whispered to Wu Meng beside her, "This doesn't seem like what Brother Li said."
Li Ge only mentioned his mother to them three times. The first time he said that she could communicate with cats, and the next two times she locked Li Ge in the room and did not let him go out to work.
Therefore, in their impression, the image of Li Ge's mother is actually more powerful, that of a middle-aged woman who has the final say, and may be a little arbitrary and has a bad temper.
But the woman who opened the door was completely different from what they had expected.
It can be seen from her appearance that she must have a close relationship with Li Ge. The two people's facial contours and eyebrows are very similar. Considering their ages, this person is undoubtedly his mother.
But what was surprising was that Li Ge's mother, who opened the door, had a very kind look. She didn't look like an unreasonable person, nor did she look like a dictatorial parent who would lock her son at home for several consecutive times and not allow him to go to work.
The barrage is much more direct:
【Frog, Auntie is so pretty. 】
【Auntie is so pretty, what can be wrong with her?】
[This doesn't look like the kind of parent who would lock their children up at home. Is there a misunderstanding between you two?]
[I despise those people whose values are determined by their appearance. They are not like me. I just want the rice noodle roll that upset Auntie to apologize.]
【? You kid. 】
[Auntie and the Cat Saint stand together, and the whole screen lights up.]
[Such a beautiful person would never do such a thing. Sister Yan, you must help auntie to redress her injustice! ]
【Rice Roll: Feed me peanuts. 】
After a few seconds of surprise, Guan Hongyan quickly remembered the main business: "Why are we looking for Wu Zhili? Doesn't he know why we are looking for him?"
"You are..." Li Ge's mother looked at the people who came, her eyes slid from Lu Changfeng's face to the faces of others, then to Bai Jinshu's face, and then looked back and forth between Bai Jinshu and Lu Changfeng.
He was probably surprised that someone like Du Zhongsheng would appear in the same team with Lu Changfeng. The former seemed like a face that would appear in various entertainment news at any time, and the latter... the latter seemed like a member of a gang.
Fortunately, being similar to Hei has its advantages. The scar on Lu Changfeng's face has a deterrent effect and aroused enough vigilance. Li Ge's mother frowned and lied, "Wu Zhili is not at home now. Go look for him somewhere else."
"You are kidding me," Guan Hongyan said bluntly, "Of course we came here because we knew he was at home. Please ask him to come out."
Li Ge's mother frowned, but still said, "He's really not at home."
"You're not at home, right? If you're not at home, we'll know if we go in and take a look!" Lu Changfeng got Guan Hongyan's look and pretended to take a few steps inside, trying to force his way in.
"You... who are you? I'm going to call the police!" Li Ge's mother took out her cell phone and looked like she was going to call the police.
Just when everything was about to break out, a voice came from behind Li Ge's mother: "Mom, these people are here to find me."
"Looking for you?!" Li Ge's mother turned around and saw Li Ge's figure. She hurriedly took a few steps forward and lowered her voice, "Who are these people who are looking for you? Are they here to collect debts? To lend money? Or have you offended someone? Do you want to call the police?"
"No need, Mom," Li Ge said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "These are all my employees."
"Your employees!" Li Ge's mother raised her voice by eight degrees, "These are your employees?!"
"That scarred face, that shady girl with dyed hair, and that... that..." She searched for an adjective with great difficulty, "that good-looking pretty boy?!"
Scarface·Lu Changfeng: ...
The questionable hair dyeing girl Guan Hongyan: …
Little White Face·Bai Jinshuo: …
Even across a long corridor, the members of the exploration team outside the door could feel the disbelief in Li Ge's mother's words, and the meaning of "what kind of people did you find?" was almost overflowing.
Barrage:
[In the eyes of the aunt: Letting a wolf into the house. ]
[The rice noodle rolls in the eyes of the aunt: debt collection gang. ]
[Sister Yan'er in the eyes of her aunt: not a good person. ]
[Auntie's view of the cat Saint: He is good-looking. ]
[? You didn't even mention a word about that pretty boy.]
[Auntie is a decent person, auntie is good, auntie praises cat son for his good looks, and the son is also good. ]
【What about rice noodle rolls and Sister Yan'er? 】
[I have seen through the true faces of you netizens. ]
The barrage was filled with comments, and in the unknown space, Li Ge didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"No, Mom... they are all my employees, not some bad friends... dyeing hair is very common in big cities outside. As for the scar... well, he got hurt while protecting his friend..." Li Ge lied, and only felt relieved when he saw the suspicion on his mother's face faded a little, "these people came to me just... uh..."
Why did you come to see him?
Ask him what happened to the cats on Haining Island? I can't just say this to his mother.
When this group of people came, they didn’t tell him what excuse they used!
Li Ge was so anxious that he turned around and glared at his boss. Fortunately, the people at the door were very reliable. Doctor Du immediately stepped forward and nodded to Li Ge's mother inside the door: "We are here to ask for an explanation from the boss."
"What do you mean?" There was a hint of vigilance in Li Ge's mother's eyes.
"Maode Academy closed down after only a few days of opening, and we all signed contracts!" Wu Meng quickly added, "Now the store says it can't open anymore and is closing. What about our salaries? What if our social security and medical insurance are cut off? What about our window period? What if the next company eliminates us during the interview?"
As expected of a newcomer to the foundation, Guan Hongyan gave her an admiring look.
If it were these old hands, they would have been in the foundation for who knows how long and had been out of touch with the lives of ordinary people for how long. Not to mention social security and medical insurance, they would not even know what the window period is.
"It's not that I don't want to open a store... Then, then I'm not..." Brother Li looked like he was about to blurt out everything, but when he was about to say it all, he stopped urgently and said, "Why don't we go outside and talk? Let's talk for a while."
"Okay," Guan Hongyan crossed her arms, "You have to give us an explanation anyway."
Several people left from Li Ge's door and found a place far away from his house. Li Ge let out a long sigh: "Damn - your acting skills are too good. I was fooled just now. I thought you really wanted me for medical insurance and social security."
"So we don't have medical insurance and social security?" Wu Mengyouyou.
"Uh... this, this is not important!" Brother Li quickly changed the subject, "The main problem now is that I don't think the method we discussed will work!"
"What doesn't work?" Guan Hongyan wondered.
Didn’t they discuss how to play both the good cop and the bad cop? Now that the good cop has just arrived, why does Brother Li say that won’t work?
"Oh...it's me..."
"Wait a minute," Guan Hongyan interrupted him and took out her cell phone. "We can use this to communicate."
Guan Hongyan: [There are cats around here. Your mother will know what we are talking about.]
【Oh oh oh, right, right! 】 Li Ge suddenly realized, 【You guys are really geniuses! 】
He lowered his head and typed a bunch of words: [I wanted to ask before you guys came. After all, she’s my mom. I could just throw a tantrum and lie on the ground and refuse to leave. But when I was halfway through, you guys came.]
Everyone: …
No wonder Brother Li is so dirty.
[Anyway, my mom didn’t even tell me when I threw a tantrum, so how could she possibly tell you guys!]
That's not necessarily the case.
Everyone looked at each other, and Bai Jin said: [Aren't you curious? Maode Academy was smashed and the water pipes were chewed off, that's all? Now everyone on the street wants to find out who did it. ]
Brother Li: [!!!]
Li Ge: [What should I do? [Cat crying.jpg]]
Guan Hongyan glanced at the emoticon with disdain: [We have our own way. ]
Bai Jinshu: [After we go in, don't say anything. Just agree with whatever we say.]
Li Ge: [Can this really work? ]
Bai Jinshu: [Yes.]
