Big brother, stop it.
The atmosphere in the living room of three people was polarized.
The two people at the small dining table were eating enthusiastically, while Gao Cong'ai on the sofa was sitting quietly, his arms resting on the armrests of the sofa, supporting his forehead and looking at the small dining table.
Li Zhu was frightened by being stared at, so he took his bowl and chopsticks and hid in the kitchen.
The thin wooden door blocked out any external sight, and Li Zhu felt much more relaxed. He turned on the faucet, and a beeping sound came from his head.
365: "Friendly reminder, your first credit payment is overdue for three hours. Please pay it off as soon as possible. If it exceeds five hours, you will be penalized."
Just before the credit repayment deadline, Li Zhu was under investigation and the system prompted him once.
Li Zhu's attitude is the same as it is now.
"Let's just give up." He rinsed the dishes carefully. "I don't want to be a deadbeat. If I have to blame someone, blame it on how hard it is to accumulate positive value."
I have to deliver food during the day and don’t have time to find people to donate their love and gain favor.
When he returned home at night, Lang Feng's feelings for him were a continuation of the original owner's. Recently, because he repeatedly stepped on his minefields, his negative value was rising rapidly.
As for Zhuang Hengchuan, Li Zhu did not find a chance to show his ability.
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
Zhuang Hengchuan walked in with slightly wet hair.
Lang Feng: "Is it raining outside?"
"It just started." Zhuang Hengchuan walked into the living room and was stunned when he saw the stranger.
Lang Feng didn't know how to introduce them, so he just said they were friends.
Zhuang Hengchuan didn't say anything. It had nothing to do with him anyway. Just as he was about to enter the room, Li Zhu came straight towards him from the kitchen.
Li Zhu: "Did they cause you any trouble?"
"No." Zhuang Hengchuan opened the door and reflexively turned around to look at the young man following him.
Li Zhu stared at him, then raised his hands in surrender. "I'm not going in. I just want to tell you something. If you have any difficulties, just tell me."
Zhuang Hengchuan said "thank you" and closed the door with a bang.
Li Zhu sighed, didn't give me a cent, and returned to his room in a depressed mood.
As soon as I sat on the bed, Gao Cong'ai came in.
The two of them sat in a row together.
Li Zhu suddenly had an idea. Isn’t there a ready-made one in front of him?
He asked, "Mr. Xiao Gao, let me ask you a presumptuous question."
Gao Cong'ai: "If you know it's presumptuous, don't ask."
"..." Li Zhu choked and kicked the stool next to him in anger. "Didn't you say we were friends? It turns out there are many things that can't be said between friends. I respect you, so I won't ask. I'm just a little sad..."
Gao Cong'ai found his tone very interesting: "You can always talk to me in this tone."
Li Zhu's face fell: "Thank you, I don't want to."
"At least until bedtime." Gao Cong'ai conceded, "I can answer your two presumptuous questions."
Li Zhu was unprincipled: "Deal."
"First question," he said, "are you lacking love?"
"No, I don't need it." Gao Cong'ai touched Li Zhu's hand that was supporting the bed, "But I want friends."
The cold fingertips brushed against Li Zhu's body, and goose bumps appeared on his body.
Gao Cong'ai pursed his lips and asked childishly, "Can we shake hands like friends?"
Li Zhu saw his own reflection and desire in his eyes.
He raised his hand: "Okay."
When their palms touched, the sticky feeling of sweat made Li Zhu feel a little uncomfortable.
Gao Cong'ai let go of his hand: "Sorry, I was too nervous."
Li Zhu grabbed a tissue and wiped it off: "It's okay."
He asked the second question: "You and Gao Congyu obviously have a bad relationship, so why do you live together?"
Gao Cong'ai's eyes began to blur, and his lips moved silently, but the movement was too small for Li Zhu to read the content.
Just when he thought Gao Cong'ai would not answer, the man gave a strange smile.
The smile did not reach his eyes, and his dark eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of ice.
"Because..." he said, "We are a family."
These words did not make Li Zhu feel any warmth. On the contrary, he felt an indescribable chill in his heart.
An image of a poisonous snake spitting its tongue in the damp grass came to my mind.
Gao Cong'ai's expression changed quickly, and when he spoke again, his expression was calm: "I'm tired and want to wash up."
Green Tea Lizhu is online: "Okay, I'll get you the towel and toothbrush I've carefully prepared."
Gao Cong'ai smiled at him.
You can't even say thank you, why don't you show some appreciation by giving him a raise?
The bathroom at home was small, barely big enough for one person. Gao Cong'ai, who was a bit taller than Zhuang Hengchuan, felt very awkward standing there.
Li Zhu looked through the glass door, lost in thought at the shadow inside that was lowering its head.
Covering his eyes with one hand, Lang Feng couldn't stand it and said, "Brother, why are you still peeping at people taking a bath?"
Li Zhu slapped his hand and said, "I'm thinking about something. If you keep nagging me, I'll sew your mouth shut."
Lang Feng knew that he wouldn't really sew it, so he curled his lips and said, "Then tell me what you're thinking about, and I'll help you analyze it."
It’s not impossible. If two people think about it together, maybe they can come up with new ideas.
Li Zhu pushed the person back to the room and sat cross-legged on the bed.
"I have a friend."
Lang Feng had heard the story of making friends out of nothing, but he held back his laughter and didn't point it out.
Li Zhu glared at him and continued, "One day at noon, he was delivering food to a random person. That person thought my friend was a nice guy, so he added his contact information and asked him to help run errands and deliver things at a certain time every day. After delivering three times, he even gave him a large reward. Tell me, why did that happen?"
"Didn't you say it's because your friend is a nice person?" He can't even figure out such a simple thing. I must be even dumber than him.
Li Zhu thought it was his fault because he did not tell the whole story and he could not blame his brother.
He added: "The person who asked my friend to run the errand was instructed by someone else."
Lang Feng's eyes widened: "Fuck, brother, are you playing a spy game?"
“…” Li Zhu fell on the bed with his head raised. He was going to be pissed to death.
He waved his hand: "Please go out and leave me alone."
Lang Feng scratched his head awkwardly, his expression suddenly serious. "What's the purpose of someone behind the scenes paying you to run an errand? Why only you and not someone else?"
Yes, why not ask someone else to deliver it?
Li Zhu frowned, trying hard to recall the original owner's first encounter with Manager Wang.
At 11:30 am that day, he received an order to deliver a piece of sushi.
Logically speaking, a leader like Manager Wang does not need to wait at the door himself, and can let the doorman or receptionist do it for him.
But when the original owner arrived, Manager Wang was stretching his neck in anticipation.
In addition to the original owner, there were two other riders who delivered the items to Manager Wang almost at the same time.
The three of them had a common experience: Manager Wang asked them to take off their helmets.
He said the weather was too hot and asked them to dissipate the heat to avoid heatstroke. He also asked the receptionist to bring three towels to wipe their sweat and give them water.
Except for the first two or three months after entering the industry, the original owner had to complete more than 2,000 orders per month on average, sometimes even 3,000. He met all kinds of people, but this was the first time he met someone as kind as Manager Wang.
Through the conversation, the original owner realized that this was not the first time he had met Manager Wang and the other two riders, as they had delivered meals before.
Only the original owner and Manager Wang were strangers, and he became Manager Wang's main chat partner.
In just a few minutes, he sold his situation thoroughly.
Before leaving, Manager Wang added his personal WeChat, and the other two riders looked at him meaningfully.
One of them said, "Brother, this is to get you a job."
——
Li Zhu unraveled this memory, and the last sentence "take the job" might not have been a casual remark.
Is it possible that Manager Wang also asked other people to deliver snacks to the Gao family?
The purpose of food delivery is for screening.
With a "click", the door was pushed open by a pale hand.
Li Zhu saw Gao Cong'ai's eyes become hot, and rushed forward excitedly. Like a brother, he punched the man in the chest. "I thought you were lying, but it turned out to be true! You can stay as long as you want. I won't tell on you."
Gao Cong'ai's hair was wet. He inserted his fingers into his black hair, and the slightest movement caused water droplets to splash onto Li Zhu's face.
Li Zhu spoke quickly: "Gao Cong'ai's targeting of me was not random; it was a process of screening, and Manager Wang was the one who screened them."
Gao Cong'ai didn't say yes or no, his expression was dull.
Li Zhu didn't notice his abnormality and said to himself, "I'll find a chance to verify it."
Gao Cong'ai responded incoherently, his lowered gaze resting on Li Zhu's hand that had touched his.
The punch was neither light nor heavy, and the force of the contact was clear. He seemed to be able to feel the other person's body temperature through the clothes.
Gao Cong'ai's Adam's apple moved, and he lowered his head and passed Li Zhu to sit on the bed: "I'll sleep with you tonight."
"Go to sleep." Li Zhu said indifferently, "I'll get you a towel blanket later."
Gao Cong'ai lay down with his hands folded on his abdomen.
The straight posture reminded people of a peaceful corpse. Lang Feng was frightened by the thought and hurriedly grabbed his shorts and vest and went to the bathroom.
That night, Chen Pingfang did not come back. Several men lined up to take a shower and lay down on the bed tiredly.
It was Li Zhu’s first time sleeping in the same bed with someone, and he wasn’t quite used to it.
He turned sideways, facing Gao Cong'ai with the back of his head, closed his eyes and counted sheep to hypnotize himself.
Li Zhu couldn't sleep anymore because of Lang Feng's soft snoring from the bed next to him. He didn't want to turn over and face Gao Cong'ai, so he simply unlocked his phone and did something serious.
He opened the rider groups one by one and sent a message to each one.
Hope Road Xiao Xu: [Which two guys have delivered meals to Manager Wang with me before? Manager Wang asked me to transfer red envelopes to you guys.]
If you don't give them some sweet treats, some people will choose not to respond for fear of causing trouble.
[It's me, it's me. Manager Wang pulled us aside and chatted for five minutes.]
[After the chat, Manager Wang affectionately calls you Xiao Xu]
The three people exchanged secret codes, and Li Zhu privately added two people to form a small group.
Each person was given five dollars.
Xiao Zhang from Jianmin Road: [It's too little, isn't it? Is Manager Wang so stingy?]
Linyin Road Xiao Wang: [So why did Manager Wang give the red envelope?]
Hope Lu Xiaoxu: [The manager asked me to ask you how many times you have delivered meals to him, and have any of your colleagues delivered meals to him?]
Jianmin Road Xiao Zhang: [? ]
Boulevard Xiao Wang: [? ]
Li Zhu's heart was bleeding, and he gave another person a small red envelope of five yuan.
Xiao Zhang from Jianmin Road: [Tell me the truth. How much money did Manager Wang give you? Did you cheat on it?]
Hope Lu Xiaoxu: [Okay, Manager Wang didn’t ask me to ask this, I just wanted to ask this myself]
Linyin Road Xiao Wang: [You should have told me earlier. I've only delivered to him twice, and so have everyone else at our station.]
Xiao Zhang from Jianmin Road: [It's the same here. My friend from Ping'an Road said that everyone at their station has delivered to Manager Wang.]
Hope Road Xiaoxu: [Manager Wang orders takeout every day?]
Xiao Zhang from Jianmin Road: [Not just every day, at least three orders at a time]
Little Wang from Boulevard: [It's strange. I heard the Red Moon Club has staff meals, but Manager Wang always orders cheap takeout... Does he have some special habit?]
Hope Lu Xiaoxu: [Is it possible that he didn't eat at all?]
Jianmin Road Xiao Zhang: [How would I know that, buddy? What on earth are you asking?]
Hope Lu Xiaoxu: [Don’t do anything, go to bed early]
After saying this, Li Zhu exited the chat software.
It's so weird.
What was Gao Congyu's purpose in asking Manager Wang to do this? Was it specifically targeting the rider group, or was it also targeting others?
Assuming Gao Congyu is the murderer and the original owner is the one who was screened out, what is the purpose of killing him?
Leading a group for a long time leads to too much work pressure, and the mentally abnormal person relies on killing to vent?
Or was Gao Congyu born with a disease?
Li Zhu's heart was in a mess. He turned over and looked at Gao Cong'ai. He was indeed not asleep, but his sleeping posture was very good.
Put your hands under your face and curl up your legs together.
Li Zhu heard that this was the posture of a fetus in the mother's womb, implying a lack of inner security.
"Hey." He asked, "Why did Gao Congyu choose me?"
"I don't know." Gao Cong'ai stammered, "They don't let me know too much."
Very good!
Gao Cong'ai did not deny it!
Li Zhu also grasped a key point: they.
"who are they?"
"I don't know him. He's probably a psychopath like me." Gao Cong'ai curled his lips sarcastically. "If you want to know, I can help you monitor him."
Li Zhu perked up and sat up: "What's the exchange?"
Gao Cong'ai said: "Be your only friend."
Li Zhu felt that he was obsessed with the word "friend" and asked curiously, "Why is it the only one?"
"Too many friends are too noisy and annoying," Gao Cong'ai said. "One is enough."
Li Zhu: “?”
Gao Cong'ai smiled, quietly moved his fingers, and tapped the back of Li Zhu's hand.
The static electricity brought a slight sting, and Li Zhu pulled his hand away abruptly: "Stop touching me and go to sleep."
"Oh." Gao Cong'ai whispered, "Good night."
Li Zhu also closed his eyes, and opened them again after a while. After making sure that Gao Cong'ai was asleep, he got up and went to the bathroom.
Dealing with a madman like Gao Congyu was tiring enough, and he didn't want to deal with another one. He didn't dare to agree rashly, but at least he had to learn more about him.
There is a small plastic stool in the bathroom for scrubbing your body.
Li Zhu sat down with his legs together and typed the three words "Gao Cong'ai" into the search box.
He clicked on the first search result.
It's a forum link.
The building has more than 400 floors, and the latest comment was three days ago.
The post is from a certain university and is titled: [Uncovering the neurological behavior of Gao Cong'ai, a Class 25 student (feel free to share any information you have)]
