Chapter 50 Negotiation
After sitting in the car for about ten minutes, the door was opened again. The first people to come out were those burly brothers. They walked straight towards the car and then got in one by one.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
At this moment, I heard the sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling coming from inside the house.
I turned around nervously, looked at the brothers and said, “You guys didn’t… beat someone up…”
The older brothers all shook their heads. The one sitting in the front laughed and said, “We don’t hit old people.”
Not long after, Nancy also came out of the house. She stood in front of me and said, “Get out of the car.”
I got out of the car swiftly, and the people in the car drove away immediately.
Nancy took my phone and dialed 110. After the call was connected, she pinched her throat and began to cry: “Hello! 110! My house was robbed! Someone broke into my house. This is…”
I stared in amazement at Nancy acting beside me, while outside the door, the old man’s roar and curses could be heard continuously from the house.
As Nancy hung up the phone, I looked at her in confusion and said, “What on earth did you do?”
Nancy shrugged, “Nothing, I just took those people to your house and smashed some things.” Then she suddenly asked, “Those ornaments in your house don’t cost much, right?”
I nodded. “It’s not expensive. It’s okay.”
Nancy breathed a sigh of relief. “Now we just have to wait for the police to arrive. When they arrive, we’ll call it a day.”
Five minutes later, the police car drove into the community very efficiently. At this time, nearby residents leaned out of their homes to watch this joke.
When the police got out of the car, they saw Nancy and me at first sight . They came straight towards us, and the leading officer asked us, “Were you the ones who called the police?”
Nancy’s expression twisted immediately, and she held the policeman’s hand and said, “I was the one who called the police! Police comrade! My friend’s house was ransacked! Someone broke into the house! They also smashed things in the house crazily…”
When the police heard the noise, they immediately ran to the door of the house with their men. At this time, the two residents upstairs also came out after hearing the noise.
A lot of people gathered at the door of the house in an instant, and the elderly people in the house were all terrified when they saw the police.
The police were very efficient. While arresting the man, they also took photos of the crime scene at home.
I walked into the house and saw that the living room was a mess. Basically everything that could be broken was broken, but they were all insignificant decorations.
It seems that those big guys at the construction site just now were also picking cheap things to smash.
Nancy stood behind the police and said bitterly, “I don’t know where these old people came from! As soon as I entered the house, they chased me out and smashed things in the house! Look, what has this house become!”
The leading officer turned around, looked at Nancy and me, and asked, “Whose home is this?”
Nancy pointed at me. “Her.”
The policeman fixed his eyes on me and asked, “Do you know all these people?”
Next to me, Nancy pinched me hard from behind, and I immediately said, “I don’t know him, I’ve never seen him before.”
At this moment, the police suddenly shouted to the neighbors outside the house: “Do you know all the people living in this house?”
The neighbors outside the house shook their heads and said, “We don’t know them! We only know the employer of this family, the little girl in front of you. We have never seen these elderly people before. They are not from here.”
With the help of my neighbors, I felt completely at ease.
The police officer nodded, and then ordered his men: “Take these people away and return to the bureau for investigation.”
The elderly people in the house were taken away one after another, with fear revealed on their faces. After all, it was the first time they were caught by the police, so they must have been very nervous.
Nancy and I followed the police car to the police station because we needed to take a statement.
On the way, Nancy secretly told me that she had bribed the police and the crime of trespassing was definitely established. The problem now was how many days those elderly people would spend in jail.
When I heard about going to jail, I was surprised. Nancy smiled confidently and said, “Just wait for your Pamela and Dean to come and beg you!”
Nancy ‘s hand tightly the whole time . It was my first time experiencing something like this, so I was quite nervous.
As soon as I walked out the door and turned on my phone, the screen showed a lot of text message reminders of missed calls one after another.
There’s Pamela ‘s and there’s Dean ‘s.
I guess they knew about this.
I stood there holding the phone, and after a while, I received a call from Dean .
As soon as I answered the phone, he spoke in a very calm and easygoing tone, ” Candice , where are you? Let’s meet!”
I suddenly felt it was very ironic. He didn’t show up when I asked him to before, but now that something happened, he came to me.
I was about to refuse, but Nancy snatched the phone from me and said into the receiver, “Let’s meet, Dean! Let’s meet at the coffee shop we always went to when we were in college. Be there at five o’clock sharp.”
After saying that, Nancy hung up the phone, stuffed the phone back into my hand, and said through gritted teeth, ” Candice, can’t you be a little tougher? You act like a bullied little wife every day!”
I was not convinced and followed her angrily, “Why am I not tough anymore! I am very firm in my attitude towards Dean now , okay? Today I still…”
Nancy turned around suddenly, “If you are tough, grab a man and stand in front of Dean right now ! Tell him that you will cheat too, and we are all the same, so who is afraid of who!”
Yes, I have also thought about whether I should retaliate against him in the same way, but if I did that, my parents would be devastated.
Nancy shook her hands helplessly, “Forget it, it’s useless to say anything, just wait and see what I do!”
Nancy and I arrived at the agreed restaurant, the familiar aroma of coffee hit us as we entered the door.
This store is an old store that Nancy and I often visit. When we were in college, Nancy and I both had boyfriends. My boyfriend was naturally Dean , and Nancy ‘s boyfriend was an out-and-out nerd, but his name was very nice, Lingnan.
But to be precise, Lingnan was not Nancy ‘s boyfriend, because at that time Nancy only liked him unilaterally, and Lingnan had never agreed to Nancy ‘s confession, not even once.
Speaking of Ling Nan, he is probably the most law-abiding man I have ever met. He never had a relationship, never went to a bar, never drank or smoked in four years of college. In short, he has all the qualities of a good man. The only shortcoming is that he doesn’t know how to have a relationship.
Ling Nan basically spent the entire four years of college in the library, and Nancy also pursued him for the entire four years, but it just didn’t work out.
According to Nancy , “It’s a pity that he has such a handsome face. He was wasted by the library.”
At that time, this coffee shop was the gathering place for the four of us. Whenever we had nothing to do, we would come here to sit. Especially when the final exams were approaching, we would ask Lingnan to come here to tutor us. Every time the tutoring lasted until late at night, Nancy would volunteer to not go back to the dormitory and stay in a nearby hotel.
The one I remember most vividly was when Nancy booked a themed couple room in order to hook Lingnan. As a result, Lingnan didn’t even take off his clothes that night and slept next to Nancy with great concentration for the entire night.
Nancy told me several times in despair that she doubted Lingnan’s sexual ability…
Of course, I just took it as a joke.
Nancy and I found a seat by the window. After we sat down, Dean walked in from the door , and behind him, Pamela, who had a gloomy face, followed .
The mother and son stood in front of me, one after the other. The moment Pamela saw me, she opened her mouth to scold me, but before she could say anything, she was suppressed by Dean ‘s eyes.
It seems that they are planning to reconcile this time.
