After rebirth, she first killed the book thief, and she was busy writing articles to save people

Chapter 330 He is still looking for new victims

The house they rented was in the "Xingfuli Community", which was across the street from the "Hongfeng Home".

The agency’s location is right in the middle of the two communities.

When you come out of the agency and walk towards Xingfuli Community, you will definitely pass by Hongfeng Home.

So it’s nothing surprising to see Lao He.

He still had that fawning look on his face - when he looked like this, he must still be trying to attract customers; because when the negotiations broke down, he was definitely not like this anymore.

What Jiang Baige and Mo Songru remember most is his angry and humiliated look, because that was the last time they met him.

The impression is inevitably profound.

Old He didn't see them as he was concentrating on chatting with the two girls in front of him.

The two girls seemed to have just graduated, and were a little timid, keeping a distance from Lao He.

But he didn't leave immediately.

After listening to what Lao He said, just like Jiang Baige and the others had done before, they discussed something with each other in a very low voice.

Then he nodded to Lao He and followed him.

It seems that Lao He and Aunt Qin have their own set of rules for selecting "prey": they want girls who look well-behaved, preferably those who have just graduated, are college students, have high quality, are not worldly-wise, and are easy to talk to.

Jiang Baige knows that sometimes you should dress more neutrally.

Now she increasingly believes that "femininity" is not just a shaped concept in a philosophical sense, but more often than not, in reality, it is almost an insult.

Jiang Baige would rather others think that she is not someone who is easy to mess with.

After seeing Lao He, the three of them felt much worse.

We had just signed the contract and found a house that was good in terms of price, location and other aspects. After accomplishing this task, we felt relieved and everyone was very happy.

Although now Lao He and his poisonous house have nothing to do with them.

But Jiang Baige did not feel lucky to have survived the disaster.

Because if it's not them, it could be other victims.

She didn't expect that Mo Songru noticed something was wrong with her: "You don't seem happy? Is it because of Lao He's house...?"

Jiang Baige nodded.

Xin Zhiping comforted her: "Yes, it is annoying to see that old man. But it is all in the past... We didn't rent that house. We will be fine when we get to our own house later."

"My own home", these three words sound really good.

Although it's a rented house, it's at least a place to stay.

What Xin Zhiping said was right, but Jiang Baige was not unhappy because she felt unlucky seeing Lao He.

Mo Songru knew, because from Lao He’s attitude towards formaldehyde testing when they last met, she knew that there must be something wrong with the house.

"Are you worried there might be other victims?" she asked.

Jiang Baige sighed, raised her foot, and kicked the stone in front of her. But the stone seemed to be against her, and it rolled crookedly for a while and then stopped, almost tripping Jiang Baige.

At this time she really felt unlucky.

"As long as he keeps looking, he will definitely find someone to take over his house." Jiang Baige stepped around the stone, "Now he is worried that the price of the house listed with the agency is too high and it will be difficult to rent. But if the negotiation is successful and the price is lowered, someone will definitely take it soon. Anyway, it is easy to find a roommate for a three-bedroom apartment."

"But we can't control other people's affairs, right? Maybe...others are not so sensitive to formaldehyde?"

Xin Zhiping didn't understand the seriousness of the matter.

Because she didn't worry about finding a house, she didn't look up a lot of information about formaldehyde causing cancer like Mo Songru did.

One reason is that Xin Zhiping has already started working, so she is quite busy.

Secondly, she didn’t have any requirements. As long as Mo Songru and Jiang Baige were satisfied, she would be satisfied too.

To be honest, the person who suffers the most from renting this house is Xin Zhiping.

Mo Songru doesn't work, so he rents farther away to save on rent. Jiang Baige works but doesn't enforce attendance rules, so it takes more than 40 minutes to get to work, which is acceptable.

Xin Zhiping is different.

Although she and Jiang Baige take the same subway to work, Jiang Baige takes a direct route, while she has to change subways twice, and her one-way commute takes more than an hour.

Moreover, even if they can find a seat when they set out, they will not be treated so well after changing trains.

Therefore, she did not take much advantage of the fact that this community is located at the starting point of the subway line.

Since they no longer rent the house, as Xin Zhiping said, there is no need to tell her those details and add to her troubles. She is already busy enough at work.

Thinking about the nearly three-hour commute every day and occasional overtime work...if it were Jiang Baige, she probably wouldn't choose to share a house with them.

But not telling Xin Zhiping doesn't mean Jiang Baige can move on from this.

After she confirmed that Mo Songru would not rent the house, she wanted to discuss with Song Siwen whether she could make the matter public.

But Song Siwen's program lasted 2.5 years and he graduated at the beginning of the year.

I am now mostly out reporting news and don’t spend much time in Anjing.

Before contacting her, Jiang Baige looked through her circle of friends, but finally decided not to disturb her.

Later, I was busy looking for an apartment and couldn't take care of it.

But now that the house has been rented, she still feels a little guilty if she doesn't do something. So the next day after she saw Lao He taking people to look at the house, she went to Hongfeng Home again.

I didn’t expect to meet an “acquaintance”——

On the first day that Jiang Baige and her friends went to see the old He family's house, Aunt Qin also brought the two girls to see the house.

The girls seemed to recognize Jiang Baige as well, but they turned away and talked to each other, trying to pretend not to see her.

But Jiang Baige didn't care about that, she took the initiative to approach and said straight to the point: "Are you going to rent this house?"

The two girls' bodies tensed up visibly, and they were on guard. "Are you here to get information?"

"what?"

Jiang Baige was a little confused.

But before she could say anything, another girl continued, "I heard from Uncle He before that the negotiation broke down because of the house price, and you deliberately picked a problem with his house so that he couldn't rent it out..."

What you said... Jiang Baige was completely confused.

Although she knew that Lao He was a narrow-minded man and it was normal for him to say bad things about them behind their backs, she thought he would only complain to Aunt Qin, but she didn't expect that saying bad things about them would become a way for him to get close to the house viewers.

She asked back with some amusement: "Since you feel sorry for him, why don't you just rent the house?"

Seeing them standing outside the house and not with Lao He...it didn't look like they had rented the house. It seemed more like they had taken a fancy to the house and came to secretly investigate the surroundings.

Jiang Baige guessed right.

One of the girls suddenly put on a smile and asked, "So what was your reason for lowering the price? Can you give us some reference?"
