Chapter 324 Then Pretend to Be Strong
"I've already given up. Whether it's true or not, we'll see tomorrow." Xia Wange packed up the stall and put it back into his bag. "Anyway, I said you'll be in jail tonight. If not, come to me at this time tomorrow to get your money back."
After saying that, Xia Wange left without looking back, leaving the people behind in frustration and rage.
He shook his hands fiercely and cursed the liar. After checking the time, he hurried back to the community and home. He opened the curtains slightly.
When it was completely dark, the figure he had been dreaming of finally appeared in the high-powered telescope. The moment the figure appeared, he stared at it intently.
He saw the other person talking and laughing on the phone on the balcony and seemed very happy, and frowned.
He packed up his things decisively and walked to the building opposite. When the housekeeper saw him, he stood up and said, "Mr. Wu, the landlord of the house you rented asked me to remind you when I saw you that it's time to pay the rent for the next quarter."
The man frowned and said impatiently: "I know."
After saying that, he hurried upstairs.
He went home first and put on a maintenance worker's uniform. When the sound of water in the toilet stopped, he took a small box at hand, went straight upstairs, and knocked on the door of the room he had been thinking about day and night. "Ms. Zhou, I am the maintenance worker you hired downstairs. Your downstairs neighbor said that the pipe above is leaking and the wall is wet. I came to see what's going on."
"Leaking? How is that possible? I don't use the kitchen." The door was opened a crack.
The man expressed deep sympathy and said, "I checked downstairs and found that the leakage is very serious. I am here just to rule out whether it is a problem with your plumbing. If not, then the gentleman downstairs can just pursue the problem with the property management. The repair cost is only a small part, and the renovation cost is the big part."
The woman inside the door looked up and down at the other person's clothes and said, "Wait a moment."
She grabbed a piece of clothing and put it on over her nightgown, then opened the door. "Then come in and take a look. This house is not mine. I hardly ever eat at home, so it's definitely not my kitchen that's the problem."
The man smiled, put on shoe covers and closed the door, then walked into the room and went to the kitchen as if he knew the way there. After looking around the kitchen carefully, he squatted down and opened the cabinet under the sink.
"Look, there is no water mark at all. It definitely isn't a leak in my house," said Ms. Zhou.
The man stood up and stared at the other's calf for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry, Miss Zhou, I still have to go to the bathroom to check. The bathroom and the kitchen are very close, so I'll go check it out too."
"How do you know my last name is Zhou?" The woman was very sensitive to other people's gazes. She took a step back and said, "It's not convenient for you to go into the bathroom. There are my personal belongings in there. Or you can wait a while before going in. I'll clean up first."
"It's okay, Miss Zhou. I'm just going to check the water leak." The man grabbed the woman's wrist and said fiercely, "What shameful things are hidden in your bathroom that cannot be seen by others?! I want to see what's in there! I'm so good to you, I watch all your dramas! Even if you're just a background board, I can find you and print it out! Even if you're in a group performance for a few seconds, I can cut it out. I like you so much! Why do you talk and laugh with others on the balcony every day?! Ah! Tell me!"
"Let go!" The woman tried desperately to pull her hand free, but the other party held it even tighter.
"Bitch! Isn't the purpose of your acting to be watched by others?! I know you recently got a good drama, tell me! Did you find a sponsor to act in that drama?! How can you be so despicable! You are such a self-degrading thing!"
The woman was frightened and her eyes turned red. "You! Let me go! I'm calling the police!"
The man, with red eyes and a ferocious face, pressed her against the wall. When he was about to lean forward, a leg stretched out and the knee hit the man's key part heavily.
Xia Wange put her hands in her pockets and looked at the man who was sweating in pain while holding his lower body, and said coldly: "She said let go, didn't you hear it?"
"Yes, it's you?!" The man was in so much pain that he was dizzy. He barely looked at the person who came in. "It's you, you charlatan! How did you get in?! I clearly closed the door!"
"You talk too much." Xia Wange raised his foot and kicked the other person on the chin, and the other person felt a piercing pain in his tongue.
"Ms. Xia, Miss Xia, we helped find your cat." A noisy voice came from the door.
"I'm here." Xia Wange shouted to the person at the door while taking off her thick clothes and draping them over the frightened woman. She leaned over and whispered in her ear, "I know you're scared, and I know you're a good actress. Now you have to act like the heroine who is not scared and wants to expose the other person's criminal behavior to the public."
Soon the property management staff came in, "Miss Xia, your cat... ah? W-What's going on?!"
"He said there was a water leak downstairs! He wanted to come and check it out! And then he tried to molest and rape me!" The woman, who had been crying out of fear, quickly cheered up after hearing what Xia Wange said, with a determined look in her eyes.
The property manager stared at the man's face for a few seconds, "Wu, Mr. Wu??! Aren't you the tenant downstairs......"
"I've called the police." Xia Wange held the cat in her arms and glanced at the man on the ground with sarcasm.
The look in his eyes clearly said, see, if I say you will go to jail, you will go to jail.
The man was so angry that he bit his tongue and could only yell, "Liar, liar..."
Xia Wange nodded to the woman, then left with the cat in his arms. Ms. Zhou quickly chased after her to the door, "Thank you, thank you. If it weren't for you..."
"I just came to look for the cat, and your door happened to be open, so I heard the noise." Xia Wange smiled.
"I'll give you this dress back."
"It's okay, you can put on your clothes first." Xia Wange waved her hand, "I also live in this neighborhood, and I'll be back soon. It's not convenient for you to get your clothes now. By the way, the blinds on your balcony are installed upside down. From a downward angle, you can see almost everything. Please pay attention to it."
The woman looked at Xia Wange, her eyes red with emotion, tears could no longer be stopped, "I didn't know this would happen, it's all my fault, I wasn't alert enough, I almost made a big mistake..."
"It's none of your business. You are the victim. The one who is wrong is the abuser. You are not wrong." Xia Wange comforted, "I know this incident will make you feel bad... By the way, aren't you good at acting? Then you can pretend that you are very strong and that you have not been defeated by this incident at all. No matter what happens in the future, you will become more courageous."
"How long do I have to perform?" Ms. Zhou burst into laughter after hearing what Xia Wange said.
"If I could, I would act for the rest of my life."
