Chapter 496 It's Not His Call
Chen Ge nodded and did not refuse: "Let's drive."
"Thank you." Huang Ling was soaked all over and sat in the driver's seat: "My house is not far from here, I can get there in ten minutes."
The headlights came on, and Huang Ling drove a few others through the rain screen and drove along the road to the distance.
No one said a word along the way, everyone was thinking about their own things.
At one o'clock in the morning, the car drove to the community where Huang Ling rented. The location is very remote, very close to Liwan Town.
"In the past, the city planned to vigorously develop the eastern suburbs, but I didn't know why it was abandoned. As a result, this large area of half-built buildings was left behind. The people who originally lived here also moved out due to various reasons such as transportation and living. Let's go." Huang Ling drove the taxi directly into the community, there was not a single light on in the huge community, it felt like entering a ghost town: "A few years ago, when the eastern suburbs of Jiujiang were going to build a new district, the housing prices were high. It's scary, and now there are only chicken feathers left, and there are residents like us who have been trapped."
Through the conversation, Chen Ge came to understand the past of this woman. She and her husband used all their savings to buy a house in the eastern suburbs of Jiujiang a few years ago.
At the beginning, the two were ecstatic to grab a house in the eastern suburbs and waited for the establishment of the new district in the eastern suburbs to increase the value of the house.
But who knows that it didn't take long for the developer to postpone the delivery of the house due to problems such as financial breakage and debt disputes.
In order to buy a house, the young couple spent all their family savings and owed a lot of foreign debts. They joined forces with other owners to find an explanation for the developer, but the other party has delayed it until now.
The project was inexplicably stopped, and the house bought with all the savings became an unfinished building that could not be moved in. The husband and wife could only live by renting a house.
Life is not easy. During this period, my husband also had a car accident, and now Huang Ling is basically supported by herself.
"It's here, that's it." Huang Ling stopped the car and hurried upstairs with her bag, Chen Ge and Xiao Gu following behind.
In the residential building, only the lights on the first floor can be used normally. The walls are black, which seems to be the cause of dampness. There is a faint musty smell in the corridor.
"Jia Ming!" Huang Ling came to the fourth floor, and while using the key to open the door, she shouted into the house. She was extremely frightened and worried that what she feared would become a reality.
Looking at Huang Ling who was in a panic, Chen Ge and Xiao Gu didn't speak. In their opinion, since Huang Ling's husband would call at that time,
And knowing that there are ghosts in the car, it means that he himself is probably dead, and he has become a ghost.
The key couldn't fit in the keyhole for a long time, Huang Ling's hands trembled anxiously, but at this moment a man's voice sounded in the room.
"Why did you come back? Where did you go at night? I'll call the leader of your company..." The door opened from the inside, and a haggard, crippled man appeared in front of Huang Ling.
"Jia Ming?!"
Huang Ling was very excited when she saw the middle-aged man, she directly reached out to hug him, but was avoided by the middle-aged man without a trace: "Your clothes are soaking wet, what are you doing here?"
"I'll tell you later, it's alright if you're not in an accident, I really terrified me today." Huang Ling's voice choked: "I'm going to change my clothes first, these two are my saviors, wait for me. Will drive them home."
Huang Ling entered the house, and the lame man blocked the door, without any intention of letting Chen Ge and Xiao Gu enter the house and sit.
Chen Ge and Xiao Gu outside the door looked at the lame man and felt strange. This man was alive and well, how could he have called Huang Ling at that time? How did he predict that the 104 bus was full of ghosts?
"Your wife met a bad guy, and it was the two of us who bravely saved her." Chen Ge glanced inside the house, the room was neatly tidy, this man was a standard housewife, and there was nothing strange about it.
"Hey! Where are you looking?" The man was very wary of Chen Ge.
"It's okay, can you lend me your cell phone? My cell phone is out of power, and I want to report safety to my family." Chen Ge said lightly.
"Then you wait here." The lame man entered the room and handed Chen Ge his cell phone.
"Thank you." Chen Ge flipped through the communication records, and the man did make several calls to the woman tonight, but none of them got through.
Wasn't he calling?
Chen Ge pretended to send a few messages, then fanned out the record and returned the phone to the middle-aged man.
In the room, Huang Ling had already changed her clothes, and she exuded a mature and intellectual beauty in casual clothes: "Husband, you stay at home, I'll send the two of them back, this is what I promised them before."
"No!" The lame man refused directly without thinking: "It's after 1 am, I'm not at ease if you follow them out, let them take a taxi by themselves, we'll pay for the car."
"It's raining so hard outside, where do you want us to find a taxi?" Chen Ge looked at Huang Ling with a straight face: "What do you think?"
Huang Ling hesitated for a while, but finally walked out of the room: "Husband, the situation is more complicated. I'll tell you in detail when I get back."
"You can't go anywhere tonight! You have to run outside at one or two in the morning? Are you crazy?" The lame man reached out to grab Huang Ling's arm, but was stopped by Chen Ge.
The man was obviously a little afraid of Chen Ge, and he didn't speak too confidently: "What do you want to do?"
Holding the backpack with one hand, Chen Ge's eyes narrowed slowly, staring at the lame man's face: "I am a very reasonable person, I have fulfilled her request, if she fails to fulfill her agreement with me, then Don't blame me for being rude."
The atmosphere was a little tense, and finally Xiao Gu and Huang Ling persuaded at the same time, the lame man snorted coldly and reluctantly agreed.
"Don't mind me, my husband is a little cautious, as usual." Huang Ling handed the umbrella and towel to Xiao Gu: "I didn't thank you well before in the car."
"It's okay, I understand." Xiao Gu took the towel with a smirk and wiped his face.
"Don't linger, you two, go downstairs first." Chen Ge walked downstairs expressionlessly, without saying a word during the whole process.
Walking out of the corridor, Chen Ge sat in the co-pilot of the taxi. He unzipped his backpack and reached into the bag to grab something.
After Huang Ling saw that her husband was not in an accident, she finally let go of her dangling heart. Only after she lost it did she know how to cherish it. She decided to never quarrel with her husband again and live a good life.
The taxi started and drove into the rain. Chen Ge, who had been silent, finally spoke up.
"Huang Ling, have you noticed that your husband has become different from the past since a certain period of time?"
The rain hit the car window, Huang Ling heard Chen Ge's words, and thought for a while: "No difference? What's wrong?"
Chen Ge paused for a moment and said slowly, "I suspect that man is not your husband."
