Chapter 334: You're trying to scam me? You're too old!
Before receiving this call, Jiang Baige really wondered where Mo Songru had gone.
Unlike Xin Zhiping who works, Mo Songru is a home blogger. According to Jiang Baige's understanding, the place she spends most of her time should be at home: she takes pictures during the day when the weather is good and the sun is shining, and stays up late at night to edit the pictures when inspiration comes.
But since Jiang Baige moved into the house in Xingfuli Community, she rarely saw Mo Songru at home during the day.
She thought it was a problem with her daily routine.
But when asked about this, Xin Zhiping also said that sometimes she would run into Mo Songru going out just after she got up in the morning. She seemed to be very busy recently. However, Xin Zhiping also said that Mo Songru was in the early stages of her career, so it was normal for her to be a little busy.
So Jiang Baige didn't ask again later.
Although she always felt a little strange every time she passed by Mo Songru's closed door.
But we are all adults now, there is no need to get to the bottom of everything.
But now, when the call came to her cell phone, that certain "distance" was broken.
Jiang Baige picked up the phone and said "Hello".
The voice over there was intermittent, probably because of the recent thunderstorms, and the signal was a bit affected. Jiang Baige couldn't hear clearly, so she had to call out "Sister Mo" again.
This time it was clear, Mo Songru's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Bai Ge, are you free now? If it is convenient, can you come to Hongfeng Home?"
Red Maple Home?
These four words, which Jiang Baige had been trying hard not to think about recently, exploded in her heart like a thunderbolt.
Mo Songru added: "I am at Lao He's house now."
After Jiang Baige hung up the phone, she put on her rain boots and ran out with an umbrella.
Mo Songru didn't explain the details of the incident on the phone, but Jiang Baige heard the voice.
Old He was screaming at the top of his lungs, saying things like it hurt, that you were bullying an old man... and that sort of nonsense.
He looks just like the old bad guy who commits fraud in the news.
Jiang Baige didn't want Mo Songru to encounter this kind of thing. She couldn't understand why Mo Songru ran into Lao He again...
Her mind was full of questions, and her steps became faster. She ran and jumped, accidentally stepped into the dirty water and splashed her pants. The usual ten-minute walk was shortened by more than half.
She saw Mo Songru from a distance. He was wearing the red jacket he wore when he went out this morning. The two of them greeted each other in the living room.
She asked, why are you going out so early today?
Mo Songru replied, yes, the material has been almost shot, and we should take a good rest then.
Jiang Baige suddenly reacted: Could it be that Mo Songru is here to shoot materials?
Jiang Baige and two other policemen, one female and one male, arrived together. They walked around Jiang Baige and headed towards Mo Songru and Lao He.
Only then did Jiang Baige notice that Lao He was actually lying on the ground.
How dirty… This was her first reaction.
Although the heavy rain has stopped today, the rain has been falling for several days and the city has been flooded. The water in the stinking ditches has overflowed and is lying on the ground. Just walking across it makes me want to go home and wash my shoes, let alone lying down.
Moreover, Old He was lying on the ground. Jiang Baige walked closer and heard him groaning intermittently.
"Sister Mo, are you okay?"
Jiang Baige walked over to Mo Songru. Before Mo Songru could speak, Lao He had already found an opportunity to find fault with her.
"She pushed me, what could happen to her?"
After saying that, Lao He turned his head to the police and said, "Comrade police, look... this little girl not only bullied me, but also called for help! You must stand up for me! Ouch, it hurts so much..."
Jiang Baige rolled her eyes and tried very hard not to laugh at the poor acting.
After all, she has been in the crew before.
Compared with Lao He, those actors in the crew who failed to pass the remake dozens of times and were scolded by the director until they burst into tears all felt a little "wronged".
The male police officer said helplessly, "Old man, how about this, if you feel uncomfortable, we will call an ambulance for you and you can go to the hospital first?"
"Of course I'll go! Ask her to call a taxi for me!"
Old He stretched out his hand, pointed at Mo Songru, and poked the air a few times.
Mo Songru rolled his eyes and refused to tolerate it: "Hey, didn't you want to smash my phone just now? Why do you want me to call an ambulance for you now? I don't even know if your phone was broken..."
"You are so slanderous!"
Mo Songru blinked and pointed at Lao He's arms: "When you fell down just now, didn't you protect your phone in your arms? Don't hide it in front of the police comrades, take it out and use it quickly. Otherwise, if the treatment is delayed, then..."
"You...you slandered me! It was obviously you who pushed me!"
Veins bulged on Lao He's forehead, but he spoke with full energy, so how could he not look hurt at all?
But if that was true, even if he called the ambulance himself, Mo Songru would have to pay for it.
But the fact that he got angry out of shame showed that he knew Mo Songru was innocent.
Old He turned to the female police officer and said in a commanding tone: "Then call me an ambulance! Aren't you servants of the people?"
"We can call an ambulance for you. But the cost..." the female police officer said in a businesslike manner. She also had a rough idea of the whole matter from what Lao He said. "You and your family will have to bear the cost."
Hearing the second half of the sentence, Old He flew into a rage. If he hadn't been pretending to be weak, he would have jumped up from the ground.
"Why are all the young girls nowadays so sharp-tongued and have no sympathy at all? They either push the elderly or ask them for money! The world is going downhill! People's hearts are no longer the same as they used to be!"
Jiang Baige was so angry that she almost laughed.
It was clearly him who did something wrong, but he is always the first to put the blame on others, and even uses the "rising height" to accuse everyone else of doing so.
As expected, the most humble person is invincible.
Not only Jiang Baige, but even the female police officer was left speechless.
She exchanged a glance with Jiang Baige and Mo Songru, and a thousand words were unspoken - she only hated that she was a public official now and had to remain calm.
But Jiang Baige is not.
Jiang Baige was not surprised at all that such a villain would deliberately rent out a toxic house to others so that they could collect rent and inhale formaldehyde manually...
Maybe in his previous life, he allowed Mo Songru's roommate to continue living in the house after being diagnosed, and he even gained a good reputation for helping others.
It's so ridiculous.
The perpetrator finally turned out to be a good person, and Jiang Baige was almost furious.
But just as she was gathering her strength to attack Lao He, Mo Songru grabbed her and shook his head gently.
Jiang Baige looked at Mo Songru in confusion.
The latter calmly took out a small black square box from his pocket and shook it: "Oh, what a coincidence, the ugly behavior of some people just now has been recorded."
As he spoke, Mo Songru turned to the two policemen and said, "I don't know if this can be considered as evidence that he is blackmailing me?"
