Chapter 26: Encountering a bloody plot
Chu Qiao stayed in Nanyang Province for another day and bought a plane ticket back to Beijin City the next day.
As far as I remember, she shared an apartment in Beijinzhou with her boyfriend, who was her immediate superior.
Chu Qiao's image of her boyfriend Zhang Zhuo appeared in her mind. He looked quite handsome.
I didn’t have time to fall in love in my previous life, so it’s nice to find someone ready-made in this life.
Chu Qiao had a little bit of expectation.
It was already evening when we arrived in Beijinzhou.
Beijinzhou is completely different from the island cities in the south. As soon as Chu Qiao stepped out of the airport, he felt the dry and biting wind blowing in his face, and his outdoor clothes were rustling.
The western sky was blood red, with only a small half of the sun left visible.
Chu Qiao pulled his clothes tight and hailed a taxi: "Master, Sega Community."
The Sega community is located in the center of Beijinzhou, far away from the airport in the suburbs.
The taxi drove for more than an hour and stopped at the entrance of Sega Community. The entrance of the community was in European architectural style, with Roman columns and sculptures standing in front of the gate.
A security guard in a white uniform blocked Chu Qiao's way.
"Excuse me, miss, are you a resident here?"
"yes."
"I haven't seen you before. Please show me your ID card. I need to confirm that you are the owner."
Chu Qiao took out his temporary ID card, thinking of Mars's contactless facial recognition system.
The security guard took the ID card and looked Chu Qiao up and down, comparing the photo with the real person, thinking to himself: Where did this owner go? Why did he become so dark?
Chu Qiao urged, "Have you confirmed it?"
The security guard then returned his ID card to him and nodded repeatedly: "Excuse me, please come in."
Chu Qiao nodded slightly and walked in, stepping on the unfamiliar floor, taking the unfamiliar elevator, and feeling unfamiliar.
Following his memory, Chu Qiao found the apartment they rented. There were two pairs of shoes on the shoe cabinet at the door, a pair of purple high heels and a pair of black leather shoes.
Purple? Did the original owner of this body...have such...peculiar preferences?
Without thinking too much, Chu Qiao skillfully bent down, took out the key from under the foot mat, and turned the door lock.
The room was dark and the air was filled with the smell of red wine.
Chu Qiao frowned and turned on the light. It’s so late, why haven’t you come back yet?
On the table in the living room were plates of empty steaks, a lot of leftovers, and a half-open bottle of red wine.
Chu Qiao's doubts gradually grew. This man was so sloppy, completely different from the smart and capable man in his memory.
She frowned and walked to the bedroom, where deep snoring could be heard.
I endured the discomfort in my heart and turned on the light.
She was startled by the mess in the room, and her eyes followed the white shirt, black stockings, and purple underwear scattered on the floor to the bed.
One with short hair, the other with long hair, the two people were sleeping in each other's arms, and their bare shoulders exposed outside the quilt showed the intimacy of last night.
Chu Qiao’s first reaction was, it’s over, I took the wrong way, I walked into someone else’s house?
She shook her head and stepped back hastily, her eyes accidentally sweeping over the man on the bed.
This man looked similar to the one in her memory, the only difference was his temperament. The man in her memory had a pair of peach blossom eyes, and was clean and comfortable. Although he had a bad temper, at least he always took care of her in work and life.
The man on the bed had his face turned sideways, his eyes couldn't be seen clearly, his cheekbones were protruding, and he looked a bit mean. He was snoring while stroking the woman's bare shoulders with his hands.
The man turned over and muttered, "Baby, why did you turn on the light?"
The woman closed her eyes, put her arms around the man's neck, and murmured, "I didn't open it."
The man narrowed his eyes and slid his hand down the woman's smooth back.
I don’t know where Chu Qiaoding is, I don’t know whether I should remind him.
The woman beside him chuckled softly, "Hateful! It was obviously you who turned on the light."
“It’s not me…”
The man suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the door. There was a hint of panic in his eyes, but it only lasted for a moment before he calmed down.
"You, you're not dead?"
It turned out that he was not mistaken. Chu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this was Zhang Chao.
But, she pointed at herself, and then pointed at the two people on the bed in confusion.
"Um, Mr. Zhang, right? Aren't we... boyfriend and girlfriend?" Her memory was confused again?
Zhang Zhuo looked at the woman who had huddled under the quilt and suddenly grinned.
"Baby, are you angry? You only call me Mr. Zhang when you are angry. I thought something happened to you and you couldn't come back. Come here, baby, let's go together."
Chu Qiao opened his mouth slightly, together, what the hell?
Zhang Zhuo saw Chu Qiao standing there in a daze, looking just as weak as ever. The order was getting bigger and bigger, and he said in a more serious tone, "Can you make it or not?"
Chu Qiao blinked hard to make sure she wasn't dreaming. This person must be mentally ill. She sneered and asked, "So what if I don't go?"
Zhang Zhuo: "If you don't come, we'll break up. And don't even think about working here anymore."
"Break up? That's it." Chu Qiao said, thinking that it seems that love is not suitable for her, so she should continue to be a solo virgin.
Chu Qiao had no idea how to react to the breakup. Pain, not that much; sadness, no need; relief, though.
"You two continue. Sorry to bother you."
Chu Qiao turned and left.
Zhang Zhuo frowned, his face ashen. He thought Chu Qiao would compromise, or at worst be in agony, but Chu Qiao didn't care at all.
The man's self-esteem suddenly rose, he threw off the quilt, and walked out wearing only his underwear.
Zhang Zhuo slapped Chu Qiao's left shoulder with his right hand to stop Chu Qiao from leaving. Before his hand touched the shoulder, Chu Qiao grabbed Zhang Zhuo's left middle finger with his right hand, exerted force and twisted it.
With a "snap", Zhang Zhuo's middle finger twisted and the entire finger pressed against the back of his hand.
"Ah, it hurts, stop, stop."
Chu Qiao bent forward habitually and threw Zhang Zhuo over his shoulder, causing his back to hit the ground hard.
Zhang Zhuo groaned loudly and cursed: "Are you fucking sick?"
It’s okay to break up, but why would you curse at someone?
Besides, Chu Qiao had never eaten pork, but had he seen pigs run? In the past, the sisters in the Martian Guard loved to torture the male soldiers after a breakup, and an over-the-shoulder throw was considered a minor punishment.
Chu Qiao grabbed Zhang Zhuo's clothes and lifted him up like a chicken.
The woman on the bed put on her clothes and came out. Seeing this, she screamed in a shrill voice, "Why are you hitting me when you have something to say to me?"
Chu Qiao raised his head, without looking at him, and said lightly: "Shut up."
Chu Qiao: "Why did you break up? Because of her?"
Zhang Zhuo: "Put me down. I'm tired of you."
Chu Qiao frowned and punched Zhang Zhuo on the right cheek. In an instant, Zhang Zhuo's right cheek became red and swollen, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
The woman beside her couldn't believe what she saw.
Zhang Zhuo's eyes popped out: "If you dare to hit me, I'm going to fire you. You don't have to come to work in the company anymore."
Chu Qiao: "Thank you for resigning. I have no interest in the job of flight attendant in the first place." She turned to look at the woman and said sympathetically: "I really sympathize with you."
The woman screamed, "I do. It's none of your business. Let him go."
He let go of Zhang Zhuo's collar and pushed him towards the woman.
Chu Qiao really couldn't understand this woman. Was she willing to be deceived and toyed with?
She walked out without looking back. Zhang Zhuo limped out of the house and brought out a suitcase. "Take your dirty things away."
"Throw it away." Chu Qiao walked out of the community in a leisurely manner.
