Although Hong Kong was a developed region at that time, even the most developed regions always have some relatively backward areas.

For example, urban villages in big cities, and rural suburbs of Shanghai.

And the place right now is probably a similar place.

"How much!?" the girl asked, pulling out her pink wallet from her waist to pay the bill.

See it!

Lin Zhengyi quickly took out his wallet, handed over a thousand-yuan bill, and said, "I can take care of it!"

Hearing this, the younger woman quickly took out her money and handed it to the driver, saying, "You helped me, how can I let you pay? I can manage!"

"No, no, I'll do it. I'm a man, how can I let a girl pay?" Lin Zhengyi said seriously.

Just as the two were arguing.

The driver was decisive. He took Lin Zhengyi's money directly, then took out a handful of change from the front storage compartment of his car, handed it to Lin Zhengyi, and said, "That way, you don't need to argue anymore."

Hearing his words, Lin Zhengyi smiled.

The younger sister could only helplessly accept this fact.

Later!

After Lin Zhengyi took the change, the two of them got off the bus.

immediately!

The driver stepped on the gas and drove away.

But as she watched the driver's departing figure, the young woman suddenly realized something was wrong!

"Wait, Lin sir, shouldn't you have left with the driver? Why did you get out of the car with me?" Zhong Xiaomei slapped her forehead and said.

And after hearing what she said...

Lin Zhengyi also realized what had happened, slapped his forehead, and said, "Oh no, I was so busy chatting with you that I forgot for a moment."

He paused for a moment, then quickly added, "By the way, in your village, are there taxis or buses going back at night?"

"No, I don't!"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiaomei shook her head.

If it's a bustling area, of course there will be cars.

But this is a village in the suburbs. Where would a car come from so late at night?

"Then what should we do?" Lin Zhengyi looked worried.

Hear this!

Zhong Xiaomei thought for a moment and then said, "What else can we do? Come home with me first and stay at my place for the night. There will be a bus passing by tomorrow morning, and you can take it back then!"

After all, Lin Zhengyi only came here to save her.

At this point, she couldn't just ignore it, could she?

Although bringing a man home late at night was somewhat inappropriate, the fact that he was a police officer made her trust him more and feel much more at ease.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhengyi could only say with a helpless expression, "Then that's the only way!"

"Okay, come with me!"

At this moment, Zhong Xiaomei said this and then led the way.

But what Zhong Xiaomei didn't notice was that Lin Zhengyi's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible glint of cunning before he followed.

Chapter 545 How about I touch it?

That's right!

Lin Zhengyi did it intentionally; it wasn't an accident.

He wanted to stay.

As for the reason.

It's easy too!

He wanted to go to his younger sister's house to see if her brother had left the prison with his four fellow inmates and returned home. Only in this way could he determine the timeline of the ingenious plan and thus decide when to intervene.

but!

It's late at night now. If he doesn't come up with an excuse and just asks to go to his younger sister's house, what normal girl would agree?

Letting a strange man into your home late at night? Are you out of your mind?

Even though Lin Zhengyi is a policeman, he has revealed his identity, which still seems a bit strange.

Therefore, Lin Zhengyi deliberately pretended to be careless and let the driver leave, thus creating the illusion that he couldn't get back. In addition, considering the favor he had done for her before, there was a high probability that the younger sister would agree to let him go home to rest for the night.

of course!

Lin Zhengyi could have simply asked his younger sister and older brother whether they had been released from prison or not, and he would have gotten the answer.

But he didn't have any connection with the other party's older brother, so it would be too strange to ask directly.

Therefore, Lin Zhengyi chose the current approach.

Thinking about it!

Lin Zhengyi followed Zhong Xiaomei and soon arrived at a two-story house.

The house looks a bit dilapidated from the outside, but it's still passable, and it's clear that it's been inhabited for many years.

After following Zhong Xiaomei into the room, the first thing you see is a small living room.

The living room has a sofa, a table, and a TV; although small, it has everything you need.

It's clear that Zhong Xiaomei's daily life is quite good.

“There are four rooms on the second floor. Two are bedrooms, one is a storage room, and the other is a bathroom. My older brother and I usually each have a bedroom, but my older brother went in these days and hasn’t come out yet, so his room is empty. I’ll tidy it up for you later, and you can stay in his room!” Zhong Xiaomei said.

"Ok!"

Lin Zhengyi nodded, naturally having no objections.

After all, it's someone else's house to stay in!

However, Lin Zhengyi also extracted the information he wanted from Zhong Xiaomei's words: Zhong Xiaomei's older brother, Juanmaoji, is currently still in prison.

This means the story hasn't even begun yet.

Lin Zhengyi's eyes flickered involuntarily.

Also at this time!

"By the way, Lin sir, have you eaten dinner? Do you want me to cook you something?" Zhong Xiaomei seemed to have thought of something and turned to Lin Zhengyi, asking with a smile.

"I ate. I went to the food street to eat, and I just finished eating when I ran into your situation!" Lin Zhengyi replied in the same way.

"That's good!"

After saying this with a smile, Zhong Xiaomei pointed to the sofa next to her and said, "Lin sir, sit here for a while. I'll go tidy up your room. Oh, and the TV remote is on the TV stand. There are drinks in the refrigerator. Help yourself to whatever you want to drink."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhengyi opened his mouth as if to say something, but then said nothing and simply nodded, saying, "Okay!"

Actually, he initially thought he would clean it up himself, but then he changed his mind and decided against it.

The reason is very simple!

This is Zhong Xiaomei's house. Putting aside the fact that Zhong Xiaomei would most likely not agree to me cleaning up, if Lin Zhengyi insists, the two of us will probably have to argue, which would be a huge waste of time. I should just say that I am not familiar with this place at all and that I don't even know where the blankets and sheets are, which might actually delay things.

and so!

He let it go.

immediately.

Zhong Xiaomei then went upstairs to tidy up the room.

Lin Zhengyi sat for a while, but got really bored, so he turned on the TV and watched for a bit.

Half a day later!

"Da da da!"

As the sound of footsteps approached, Lin Zhengyi saw Zhong Xiaomei coming down with a pair of shorts in her hand.

Look at this scene!

Lin Zhengyi was stunned for a moment.

What are you doing with your underwear?

Simply!

Zhong Xiaomei seemed to sense Lin Zhengyi's confusion, so she smiled and explained, "Lin sir, you must have sweated a lot while running with me, right? You definitely need to take a shower, right? So I prepared some shorts for you!"

"I was originally going to prepare a bathrobe for you, but I don't have any other bathrobes at home. These are a pair of shorts that my older brother bought but hasn't worn yet. You can change into these shorts when you take a shower."

"As for your clothes, I'll take them to wash later. The weather has been quite nice these past few days, and if nothing unexpected happens, they should be dry by tomorrow morning. Then you can change into them."

Listen!

Lin Zhengyi then realized why the other person was holding the large shorts.

Feelings are something you replace while you're showering!

That's very thoughtful.

"Thank you then!"

After saying this with a smile, Lin Zhengyi stepped forward and took the pair of shorts.

"Oh, right, I've already filled the bathtub with hot water for you upstairs. You can go take a shower now!" Zhong Xiaomei added.

Upon hearing that Zhong Xiaomei had considered things so thoroughly, Lin Zhengyi said, "You really have considered everything so thoroughly."

"This is what I should do."

Zhong Xiaomei said with a smile, "You're a guest, so I should take good care of you, right?"

"You took care of her not just a little, but extremely well. A girl as caring as you is a rare find in Hong Kong these days!" Lin Zhengyi praised.
