Jiang Chi took it over and looked at it, and said, "This is an investment certificate. Looking at the data, if you have invested a lot of money, the return will be very rich."

"The driver is about to send?"

"The premise is that the investment is successful. This is the mentality of a gambler. If you succeed, you will reach the peak, and if you fail, your family will be ruined." Jiang Chi checked again, and there was actually an IOU mixed in it.

Jiang Chi raised his chin and motioned Chu Xin to take a look.

Obviously, the driver is a gambler, even borrowing money to invest.

"Looking at his appearance, it doesn't look like the investment was successful." Jiang Chi added.

……

Alice's room on the second floor at this time.

Tong Chengcheng took a step ahead and took Alice back to the room.

As soon as the door opened, Li Xin was found warming up by the fire inside.

"Bring Alice back?" Li Xin asked in surprise.

Tong Chengcheng nodded.

"What's the matter, why are you crying like this?" Li Xin saw that Alice was crying into a disfigured face, and wiped the tears off Alice's face.

"There was a male tenant upstairs who was very fierce. I don't know why he scolded Alice."

While talking, Tong Chengcheng led Alice to sit around the fireplace.

"...Today is Christmas Eve, the weather is really cold."

"Will Santa Claus come to give me presents this year?" Alice finally stopped crying after being coaxed for a long time, and instead raised her head to think about Christmas presents.

"What does Alice want?" Li Xin smiled and touched her little head.

Alice thought for a while, with a look of disappointment on her face.

"I can't get anything."

"How do you know if you don't try it?" Tong Chengcheng said, "Have you never received a gift before?"

In the Western context, Christmas should be a very important holiday.

No matter how poor a family is, it shouldn't miss Christmas completely.

Alice whispered: "It used to be...it's gone now."

"Because there is no money?" Tong Chengcheng sympathized with the little girl.

Li Xin was also very sad.

"I heard that hanging a piece of toasted bread in the fireplace will bring a good harvest in the coming year." Tong Chengcheng said suddenly, looking at the flames burning in the fireplace.

"Then make bread at night?" A familiar voice came from behind.

It was Chu Xin who happened to be back.

"Have you gained anything?" Tong Chengcheng asked.

Jiang Chi pushed Chu Xin and asked him to take a seat near the stove.

"The male tenant upstairs who yelled is probably a driver who failed to invest. We even found an IOU from his room. It seems that he owes a lot of money." Chu Xin said after sitting down.

Li Xin felt that these words were inappropriate for children, so she pushed Alice into the small room inside.

"I also received a letter today, which was addressed to Qin Fang in 302. The sender seems to be his father, and he seems to often ask him to borrow money."

Tong Chengcheng's eyes lit up; "Is the driver Qin Fang's father?"

Gu Dongqiang immediately continued, "But why do you write letters when you live so close?"

"That's right, it's too much." Tong Chengcheng rarely felt that Gu Dongqiang's words made sense.

Chu Xin frowned: "Have you noticed? This apartment is always exuding a certain atmosphere. Alice, Qin Fang, the old lady, and the driver are all very strange. They have something in common."

Just like what the dead house said, the people upstairs are too weird.

"What do they have in common?" Gu Dongqiang asked.

"I'm still thinking..." Chu Xin rested her chin on her knees, feeling a little tired.

"Are you tired? Go to sleep in the afternoon, Alice is here, and today seems to be quite safe?" Tong Chengcheng wondered if Christmas Eve was really safe.

"But I still want to go out and check about the driver." Chu Xin was thinking about this.

Chu Xin's words entered Jiang Chi's heart, and he also wanted to go out to check the driver's information.

"I'll go check it out later," Jiang Chi said.

Tong Chengcheng looked at Jiang Chi's indifferent face, but felt that Jiang Chi was extremely reliable.

And the boss is too kind, Chu Xin took over all the work of running out when she was sick, but she still had to keep a cold face.

Tong Chengcheng vaguely felt that the way these two got along was a bit cute.

"I'll go with you." Tong Chengcheng followed.

Gu Dongqiang immediately followed up and said, "I'll go too."

Jiang Chi looked at Tong Chengcheng and Gu Dongqiang respectively, and finally his eyes fell on Gu Dongqiang: "You take care of the house."

Gu Dongqiang: ...

Li Xin was also moved after listening for a long time: "I also want to go out for a walk, and I can't breathe because I've been bored in this room."

Jiang Chi did not stop Li Xin.

Seeing this, Gu Dongqiang felt a little unhappy.

Jiang Chi would rather have a pregnant woman than him?

"Don't you just dislike me for not being a girl?" Gu Dongqiang became angrier the more he thought about it, and couldn't help complaining, "Is it interesting to exclude people..."

At first, he thought it was okay for these people to know each other, but after a long time, he gradually felt that they always liked to exclude him from the outside world.

It was the same with the investigation upstairs before, Chu Xin only asked him to be in charge, but the two of them went directly to investigate the clues.

Thinking of this, Gu Dongqiang's eyes couldn't hold back and "scratched" Chu Xin's face.

It seemed that they regarded Chu Xin and Jiang Chi as the culprits of forming a clique.

Jiang Chi watched him go out coldly and didn't respond.

"Xiaogu is angry?" Li Xin subconsciously felt that she had provoked him. Didn't everyone get along well before?

"Don't you guys want to go out and have a look? Hurry up while it's still bright," Chu Xin said.

Li Xin looked at Jiang Chi and Tong Chengcheng in embarrassment, "Why is everything like this all of a sudden?"

Tong Chengcheng comforted Li Xin: "Sister Xin, don't think too much, it's not against you."

"Is that aimed at you...?" Li Xin looked bewildered.

Jiang Chi didn't wait for Tong Chengcheng's reply, so he said, "Let's go out first."

"Bring Alice." Before leaving, Jiang Chi went to the back room and called Alice out.

Bringing her along will prevent her from having an accident to a certain extent.

"Why don't you ask Xiaogu to keep an eye on it?" Li Xin wanted to use this banner to coax Gu Dongqiang.

Tong Chengcheng sighed.

If he can do well, why don't they give him a chance?

Gu Dongqiang's anger was nothing more than that he felt that Chu Xin and Jiang Chi were too strong, as if they were in charge of everything.It may not be obvious once or twice, but he can't bear it if there are too many times.

But Gu Dongqiang forgot one thing, the dangers and troubles were all dealt with by Chu Xin and Jiang Chi, and Chu Xin cooked the meals, but he had no guts, no ability, and no love.

Every time Gu Dongqiang only cared about the work he wanted to do, it was really dangerous, and he hid faster than anyone else, so who would treat him like this?

The last time Alice's mother asked who cooked the meal aggressively, he sold Chu Xin when he came up, and it was good enough for Chu Xin not to care.

Then Chu Xin and the others stopped giving him work, and he felt that they were too strong and pushed him out.

Jiang Chi was too lazy to argue with him.

"Blame me for talking too much. If I stayed here too, there would be nothing wrong with it." Li Xin realized later, and figured out some meaning.

"He will always think so if you don't tell me." Jiang Chi said.

The reason why Jiang Chi didn't let Gu Dongqiang go out was that he really didn't trust him, and that Gu Dongqiang had already gone out before, even if it was Li Xin and Tong Chengcheng's turn.

But when people's ideas reach a dead end, they often end up in the dark.

Jiang Chi didn't say any more, but turned around and told Chu Xin, "You sleep here. Take your medicine."

Then he left with Tong Chengcheng and Li Xin.It happened that the soldiers were divided into two groups, Jiang Chi was in one group, and Tong Chengcheng and Li Xin were in a group with a support.

Chu Xin sent them away, obediently took the medicine Jiang Chi brought back, and then wrapped herself in a blanket and collapsed on the sofa in Alice's room.

You have to look at Gu Dongqiang's face when you go back, there's no need to feel uncomfortable.

It's warmer here.

Perhaps it was because of the effect of the medicine that Chu Xin fell asleep not long after.

It was a deep sleep.

The only sound left in the room was the "crackling" sound of the flames burning.

After an unknown amount of time, the door was quietly opened by someone.

The one who came in was Gu Dongqiang who had just left.

He went back to the room directly because he was angry, but he stayed in the room for a long time and didn't see anyone coming back.

They can't all go out to check the information.

When I came in, I saw that only Chu Xin was left, and even Alice was gone.

Gu Dongqiang looked around and found something like a medicine bottle on the table.

He picked it up and shook it. The writing on it was not in English, so he couldn't understand it.

Where did this guy get the medicine?

He uncapped the bottle to sniff it.

As a result, as soon as the cover was removed, the door behind him was opened.

Gu Dongqiang was timid, so he was so frightened that he threw the medicine bottle out on the spot.

"Whoa, whoa."

The pills were scattered all over the place.

The door opened, but no one was there.

Gu Dongqiang thought it was the wind, so he didn't pay much attention. He knew that he had caused trouble, so he rushed over to pick up the pills.

The floor of Alice's room was not clean, it was even a little dirty, and there were some women's hair wrapped in the dust.

After stuffing everything back into the medicine bottle, he hesitated, Jiang Chi and Chu Xin were tied together tightly, if Jiang Chi found out, he would definitely be glared at by that cold face.

Finally he hastily put the lid back on, intending to put the bottle back on the table as if nothing had happened.

No one saw it anyway...

It's not for him to eat.

However, at this time, a figure flashed in.

Gu Dongqiang almost scared himself when he turned around.

Why did the tenant from 302 upstairs come here?

Where did he come from? !

Qin Fang came in and looked at the flustered Gu Dongqiang, and then at the medicine bottle in his hand.

A smile of unknown meaning appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Qin Fang suddenly approached Gu Dongqiang, and Gu Dongqiang subconsciously took a few steps back.

But Qin Fang still stood in front of him.

"What?" Qin Fang asked with a smile.

"... Medicine." Gu Dongqiang was overwhelmed by the opponent's aura, and replied in a low voice.

Qin Fang reached out and took the medicine bottle back.

He knocked off the bottle cap with one hand and opened the door.

I saw a beautiful arc across the air, and the medicine bottle was thrown out.

Because the lid was not covered, the pills were scattered all over the floor again.

This completely confused Gu Dongqiang, what do you mean by this?

Qin Fang maintained his smile, and pointed to the direction outside the door with his slender fingers, "Go and pick it up."

"..." Gu Dongqiang, who was stunned, hadn't recovered for a while.

"Go and pick it up. I don't want to say it a third time." Qin Fang's voice was full of oppression.

Right now, Gu Dongqiang is a sober living person, he dare not follow Jiang Chi and others to confront the NPC, so he has to bite the bullet and go out to pick it up.

One by one, after picking it up again, he consciously handed the medicine to Qin Fang in front of him.

Qin Fang took the medicine bottle with a smile, and then threw it away again.

"Go pick it up."
