"The Big Buddha Temple is open 24 hours a day, just to receive poor people like your friend. Go now, there's no time to lose. If you go tomorrow morning, it might be too late."

Tang Tang hesitated after hearing her mother's advice. She wondered whether she should go out right now. But when she entered the room and saw Saipan lying on the bed without any sign of sleep, she sighed and said, "Forget it. My friend is sleeping like a dead pig now."

"Okay." Tang Tang's mother stammered, "Then take care of yourself."

"I understand, I understand." Tang Tang hung up the phone impatiently.

As soon as the call was hung up, the next call came.

"Who is it..." Tang Tang frowned and found that it was her boss who called. She looked at the time and it was almost twelve o'clock. What did Zhou Pa Pi want to do by calling at this time?

"Hello, boss, what's up?" Don't say Tang Tang's tone was impolite. People like her who are born in the 00s and don't have mortgages or car loans are needed to clean up the workplace now. It's time to get off work, so don't talk to me about business.

Tang Tang also has his own business. If he gets fired, the worst that can happen is that he can go to work in his own factory.

"Xiaotang, although I know it's a bit presumptuous to disturb you at this time, but I saw your circle of friends and I know you are still awake. The company has a plan that needs you to modify, and the user needs it urgently. Can you come to the company?"

"You know how to be so presumptuous at this time? It's already twelve o'clock." Tang Tang angrily scolded the other person, "No."

"Really not going? I'll give you triple your salary for working overtime tonight?"

"Do you think I need that little bit of money? You called me when it's almost time to go to bed. I'll leave that little bit of money for you to buy a coffin for your mother." Tang Tang hung up the phone after saying that.

The phone rang again, and it was Zhou Baopi again. Tang Tang felt that she was a little impulsive just now, so she picked up the phone again, planning to reorganize her words. This time she wanted to scold the other party until he hung up.

"Xiaotang, I know you are not happy about it. After all, this is outside of working hours, but the client needs it urgently. Really, please come to the company, please?"

The other party's pleading voice made Tang Tang frown. As the saying goes, you shouldn't hit a smiling person. The other party was so humble that she felt embarrassed to continue scolding him.

Just because she couldn't start scolding didn't mean she agreed to work overtime so late.

"I don't live at home. I live in the dormitory with my friends. There's a curfew in the dormitory, and I can't go out." Tang Tang made an excuse to answer. Anyway, that's what the note said.

"I see. I'll send the design to your computer. Please take care of it."

Tang Tang was about to agree, and she was rummaging through her luggage, looking for her computer. Then she realized that she didn't bring her computer with her. "I'm sorry, I came in a hurry today and I didn't bring my computer. You can find someone else."

"Then you can handle it on your phone."

"No, are you stupid? What are you going to do with your phone? Why don't you call a few other people to get up and deal with it? They can definitely use computers faster and better than I can use a phone."

Tang Tang really felt that Zhou Baopi was being unreasonable today. It was ok for him to ask her to work overtime so late, but he also asked her to use her mobile phone to handle work?

Can a mobile phone and a computer be equally efficient? If she really uses her mobile phone, she might not be able to finish the task even if she doesn't sleep tonight.

The more Tang Tang thought about it, the angrier she got, so she hung up the phone and wanted to follow Tang Tang's example and go to bed and sleep.

But another call came in.

"Why are there so many calls tonight... If it's still that Zhou Paopi, I'm sure..." Tang Tang looked at Xiaona on the incoming call contact list and took a deep breath.

This Xiaona is Tang Tang’s childhood friend. They played in the same yard together. Later, she became successful and was admitted to study abroad.

"Hello, Xiaona? It's so late, what do you want to talk to me about?" The call was not an overseas call, but Tang Tang didn't see it and didn't think much about it.

"Tang Tang, I'm back home. Can you come out with me for a drink?" Xiaona's voice was filled with a sad, crying tone, which made people feel pity.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming back? It's so sudden... I'm not at home now, I'm in a friend's dormitory and I can't go out." It's not that she couldn't go out, but Tang Tang felt very tired. She wouldn't be off work tomorrow like she was in Saipan, so she planned to decline Xiaona's request. She was already a career person, how could she play like before.

Chapter 242 But, She's Already Dead

“Really can’t we come out for a drink… wuwuwuwuwu…” The person on the other end of the phone started crying, “Ziming, that unfaithful man, dumped me. I’m heartbroken… Xiaotang, come out for a drink with me… I don’t know what I can do… Life feels so bleak.”

"Wait, don't." Tang Tang could tell that the other person was in a bad mood, so she put on her coat and was about to go out.

After all, they have been childhood friends for so many years, so what if he really loses his job because of a hangover?

You can still find a job, but if your childhood friend is gone, then the relationship you have built over the years will be gone.

Speaking of Zhou Paopi, Tang Tang really couldn't stand him. He even called her and asked her to work overtime using her cell phone just now.

Who does he think he is?

"Tang Tang, where are you going so late at night?" Saipan rubbed her sleepy eyes and climbed out of the bed. She was woken up by the urge to pee. She lay in bed in a daze as soon as she came back and had not been to the bathroom at all.

"Xiao Na is heartbroken and is now drinking in a bar. I'm going to watch over her to prevent anything from happening to her."

"Wait, the Xiaona you are talking about is Liu Na?" Saipan's eyes suddenly widened as big as light bulbs.

"Yeah, you know her? Yes, I should have told you about this best friend..."

"But isn't Liu Na dead?" Saipan stammered.

Saipan's words were like a bolt of lightning, striking Tang Tang who was answering the phone.

"I remember your best friend was hit by a car after returning to China... You cried to me for a long time..."

"Xiao Na... is dead...?" Tang Tang looked at her phone in disbelief.

"Hello, what's wrong, Xiaotang, come out and have a drink with me." Xiaona's crying voice came from the other end of the phone.

"If Xiaona is dead... who is the person who is talking to me..." Tang Tang looked at her phone in horror, "Yes, yes... Xiaona died a long time ago... a year ago..."

"Are you using your cell phone? Doesn't the dormitory rules say that you shouldn't use your phone after 11:30?" Saipan also realized that Tang Tang seemed to have encountered something serious. His eyes followed Tang Tang down and saw the cell phone in Tang Tang's hand.

"Don't use your cell phone after 11:30..." Tang Tang thought about how her mother had called her from the beginning and wanted her to leave the dormitory. Later it was Zhou Paopi, and then Xiaona, all of whom wanted her to leave the dormitory.

Normally I wouldn’t be able to make a phone call for several days, but now the calls come one after another.

Who is the person who called?

Many things are self-evident.

"Hang up, Tang, hang up!" Saipan shouted loudly and reached out to grab the phone from Tang Tang's hand.

Tang Tang subconsciously dodged Saipan who was rushing towards her, but at the same time she hung up the phone.

Only after the call was hung up did the two of them breathe a sigh of relief.

After a long while, Saipan sighed and continued.

"Tang Tang...

"From now on, can you please abide by the dormitory rules?"

"Yeah..." Tang Tang agreed, but she was a little unhappy.

Although I knew that this was my own fault, I still felt uncomfortable being lectured by Saipan.

Because in her subconscious, the reason why she encountered these things was because of Saipan.

Saipan went to that black-hearted company and signed an agreement with an unknown cost, which led to her encountering one strange thing after another. Then, she was dragged into the water by the other party just because she cared about them.

And yet, now, I am still preaching to myself.

So Tang Tang knew that it was because of her failure to abide by the dormitory rules, but she was still subconsciously unhappy.

After all, if it weren't for Saiban's unconscious behavior, she wouldn't be dragged into this and wouldn't have to abide by these dormitory rules.

"Go to sleep." Saipan told Tang Tang after she finished taking a shower. She was very tired after a day of work, and she believed that Tang Tang was the same.

There was a knock on the door.

Neither Saipan nor Tang Tang knew who was knocking on the door at this moment.

They looked at each other and shook their heads.

The two of them even tiptoed towards the bedroom, not wanting to attract the attention of some unknown being outside.

The knock on the door became more urgent.

"Hello, is anyone inside? There is a fire in this building, come out quickly." A strange male voice was heard outside.

But this time, neither Saipan nor Tang Tang believed the voices outside.

The two even hugged each other and covered themselves with the quilt.

The dormitory rules have already stated that the quilt is absolutely safe. As long as it is not something that opens the door and invites in, the quilt can keep out all demons and monsters.

The knocking on the door outside disappeared after a while.

"Finally, is it over?"

They both breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to go to bed.

"Wait, don't turn off the lights."

"Does that work?"

"Whether it's useful or not, I just want peace of mind."

"Knock knock knock." The door was knocked again.

The two people hugged each other and could feel the other's body tremble noticeably.

But after what happened before, no matter what happened outside, these two people would no longer respond.

"Strange... According to the property management, there are indeed employees of that strange company living here." Li Boluba stood outside the dormitory door, with his assistant following him to record the situation. "And the lights are still on, so there should be people inside."

Li Boluba turned the door handle and found it was locked. "It is indeed locked. If you go out, you shouldn't turn on the light."

"Is there anyone inside? Can you open the door?" Li Boluba shouted, "We are the police, and we are here to investigate something. Please open the door."

There was still no response from inside. Saipan and Tangtang were like frightened birds, and no longer dared to respond to the sounds outside.

"Still no one replied... What on earth is..." Li Boluba stroked his chin and thought.

"Officer Li... could it be that... the people inside have already...?" his assistant whispered.

When he thought of this possibility, Li Boluoba's expression instantly turned serious.

The two looked at each other.

Finally, Li Boluba shouted loudly, "If the people inside don't answer, we will break in."

Saipan and Tang Tang still did not answer, and still treated the people outside as that kind of thing.

Li Boluba had no choice but to knock on the door with his assistant.

Unexpectedly, no matter how much strength the two of them used, when they hit the door, the door did not move at all, as if it was fixed to the space.

"This is weird." Li Boluba frowned and thought, whose anti-theft door is of such good quality? He was tempted to build a door like this.

"We can't open the door with our own strength. In that case, should we call the property management of the community or request tool support?"

Chapter 243 I have a cold. Only one update today.

"Call the fire department." Li Boluba was also wondering where there could be such a conscientious anti-theft door manufacturer these days.

"Did the people inside hear you? If you still don't answer, we'll call the fire department." Li Boluba knocked on the door twice in the end without any hope.

Hearing this, Tang Tang inside couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to open the door.

After all, no one wants to get involved in the troublesome things that happen in the fire department.

"Don't open the door. Have you forgotten what happened just now?" Saipan stopped Tang Tang.

"Can……"

"Listen, people outside, I don't know if you are telling the truth, but what I can tell you is that we will not open the door until the sun rises." Saipan shouted loudly from the door.

"What happened in there? Why do we have to wait until the sun rises to open the door?" Li Boluba shouted at the top of his voice.

He really felt puzzled. Why did they open the door without having to wait until the sun rose before opening it?

Could it be that something shameful is being done in there?

Or collect some evidence.

"Whatever the case, we won't open the door before the sun rises.

"If you were a real police officer, you would understand us.

"It would be dangerous if we opened the door before the sun rose."

"What are you talking about?" Li Boluba felt that they were talking at cross purposes.
