Li Man didn't sleep well last night, and she got up early in the morning. When she returned home, she collapsed on the bed and fell asleep.
She didn't know how long she had slept when she suddenly heard the sound of the bedroom door handle turning, followed by an unfamiliar voice saying, "Why is it locked? Is she inside?"
Immediately, the door was slapped and Huang De Han's voice sounded, "Li Man, are you inside?"
Li Man lay on the bed without moving and replied, "I'm sleeping, don't bother me."
Zhao Liang and Huang De Han outside the door exchanged a glance, and Huang De Han said, "Have you eaten? I brought some dishes back, come out and eat together."
Li Man didn't move and replied, "I'm not hungry, you guys go ahead and eat."
Li Man always believed in one truth: when someone is overly attentive, they either have ulterior motives or are trying to steal something. Last time he was overly attentive and poured milk for her, what is he up to this time?
Li Man wasn't that naive, she didn't want to go out and cooperate with his act.
"Can you come out? I brought a friend, please give us face," Huang De Han said in a pleading tone, emphasizing that he had brought a friend with him, hoping she would give them face.
But Li Man knew he had ill intentions, so she remained unmoved. "Sorry, I'm really tired. You guys go ahead and eat, I won't come out."
Huang De Han was furious but couldn't do anything about it. He brought Zhao Liang home with the intention of dealing with Li Man in his presence.
But Li Man refused to come out, and he couldn't find an opportunity.
He exchanged a glance with Zhao Liang and they went back to the bedroom to discuss their strategy.
"What do we do if she won't come out?" Zhao Liang asked.
"How about we eat first? I don't believe she can hide in her room forever. Once she comes out, you find an opportunity to take action," Huang De Han said.
"Okay!" Zhao Liang readily agreed.
By the way, this Zhao Liang was also desperate for money, that's why he cooperated with Huang De Han like this. And Huang De Han assured him that nothing would go wrong, and even if something did, he would take the blame.
The two returned to the living room, and Huang De Han placed the dishes he had brought on the coffee table. He also opened two bottles of beer, and they drank and watched TV.
Li Man lay on the bed, feeling more and more uneasy. Huang De Han rarely brought friends home, so why did he suddenly bring someone today? And he even kindly asked her to go out for a meal.
Li Man thought about the recorded conversation she had eavesdropped on and became even more suspicious of Huang De Han's intentions.
She quickly took out her phone and called Tan Xi Yuan, asking her to come over.
Tan Xi Yuan didn't understand and asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Man didn't know how to explain over the phone, so she said, "Huang De Han brought a friend home, and I suspect he has ill intentions towards me."
Tan Xi Yuan chuckled lightly and said, "Are you watching too much TV? He brought a friend home, how could he have ill intentions towards you?"
"Oh, I'll tell you later, please come quickly."
"Alright, I'll call you when I arrive."
"Don't come in later, just wait for me at the door."
"Okay, be careful, I'm on my way now."
"Good, hang up."
Li Man hung up the phone and began to pack her things. She knew she wouldn't be able to come back tonight.
40 minutes later, Tan Xi Yuan arrived. Before knocking on the door, she called Li Man to let her know that she had arrived.
When Li Man opened the door, Huang De Han happened to be opening the door for Tan Xi Yuan.
"Li Man, let's go," Tan Xi Yuan shouted from the doorway without stepping inside.
