Chapter 452: If You Can't Get Out, It's Like Being Dead

The weather is now much warmer than before, but it is only April after all, and the temperature difference between day and night is large.

Even though the hottest temperature during the day can reach over 10 or 20 degrees, the temperature at night is only around 10 degrees. No one would sleep on the street unless absolutely necessary.

Jiang Baige already knew the answer to why Cao Xiong was "forced to do so".

She used her thumb and index finger to zoom in on the map on her phone.

Cao Xiong is not only in the building materials market.

His location is right near "Dinghao Home Furnishing City"!

Taking into account the possible errors in positioning, Jiang Baige had to prepare for the worst: maybe he had sneaked in before the home furnishing city closed and was now on the rooftop, with everything ready, just waiting to drop a fatal brick on Xia Ping'an's head the next day.

Jiang Baige miscalculated.

She only calculated the distance from Cao Xiong's residence to the building materials market. She didn't expect that a desperado like Cao Xiong would have a completely different way of thinking from normal people: if he had no money, he would just sleep in the open, and if he wanted to kill someone, he would just sit back and wait.

All his actions cannot be speculated by human thinking, otherwise we will be put in a passive position like Jiang Baige is now.

Jiang Baige glanced at the time. It was not yet three o'clock, but she was completely unable to sleep.

She turned over and got up, wanting to call Xia Ping'an, but her fingers stopped again, and she almost forgot that it was the middle of the night.

She might be the only one who can't sleep tonight.

Maybe Cao Xiong is gathering his strength for the crime he will commit the next morning.

Xia Ping'an was unaware of the danger and must have been sleeping soundly.

She said that Cao Xiong hasn't come to harass her much recently and she feels much better than before, but she doesn't know that this is the calm before the storm.

Jiang Baige was lost in thought until the sky began to brighten. She made a cup of instant coffee in the kitchen, washed her face and rinsed her mouth in a hurry, and ate something to fill her stomach. When she walked to the subway station, she found that the entrance to the subway station was under maintenance and would be open two hours later than usual.

She simply hailed a taxi and drove directly to the gate of Xia Ping'an's community.

Xia Ping'an had mentioned the name of the community to her once before, but did not tell her the specific apartment building and house number.

In the taxi, Jiang Baige saw that it was past six o'clock and finally dialed Xia Ping'an's number.

"White...white dove?"

Xia Ping'an was a little surprised when she received the call. She spoke with a strong nasal tone, as if she had just woken up.

"Did it wake you up?"

"No...I should get up and get ready for work."

This is a common feature of all workers in big cities: they have to get up early to commute, and they are always sleepy and yawning.

Jiang Baige cut to the chase: "You can't go to work today."

"what?"

"I'll talk to you when we meet..." Jiang Baige said. The driver just stopped at the gate of the community. Jiang Baige scanned the code to pay first, and then continued the conversation that had just been interrupted after getting off the car. "I'm at the gate of your community now."

Xia Ping'an was still a little confused until he saw Jiang Baige downstairs.

She hadn't had time to change her clothes and was still in her pajamas with a knitted coat on top.

Because she shared the house with other people, Jiang Baige came suddenly, and now everyone was getting up and washing, and the public space was quite crowded, so she had to make an appointment with Jiang Baige to meet downstairs.

Jiang Baige didn't care about those details at all.

My heart, which was originally hanging in the air, finally calmed down after I saw Xia Ping'an.

"I saw Cao Xiong at the building materials market yesterday." Jiang Baige got straight to the point, "I heard him say that he was going to hit you to death with a brick today."

"what?!"

Xia Ping'an couldn't remember how many times he had been surprised today.

She looked up subconsciously. The small six-story building looked so friendly and peaceful.

But even if there are only six floors, if something falls from above and hits you on the head, it could be fatal.

"Cao Xiong...really wants to kill me?"

"If you don't believe me, I can take you there."

Xia Pingan waved his hands hurriedly: "No, no, no, this is too dangerous... Is this the reason you came here? In fact, you can tell me on the phone..."

"I wanted to contact you yesterday. But after thinking about it, I decided to stop you in person."

After hearing this, Xia Pingan laughed: "If I insist on going to work, can you still tie me up?"

Jiang Baige's expression was serious: "Have you ever thought about it? Since Cao Xiong is going to throw a brick at you, he must have gone to the rooftop to make arrangements in advance. If he doesn't wait for you, with his personality, do you think he will just leave like that?"

"what do you mean……"

"I was afraid that if he didn't see you, he would not give up easily, but would be even angrier... Do you think he would just pick up a few bricks and throw them down to vent his anger?" Jiang Baige sighed, "So I had to come here today anyway, so I might as well meet you and explain the interests involved."

Although telephone and Internet are good, they are still not as good as face-to-face communication.

This is Jiang Baige’s consistent view.

Because in addition to text and sound, she can also clearly see the expression of the person in front of her, and make a more accurate judgment about the other person's thoughts based on this.

Now, she could feel that Xia Pingan was somewhat convinced by her.

"Okay." Xia Pingan finally gave in. "I can trust you. I won't go there today and won't go to work. I usually work very hard and have saved up a lot of vacation time. It shouldn't be a problem for me to take a day off."

Jiang Baige achieved her first goal and the taxi fare was not in vain.

Xia Ping'an stretched and asked Jiang Baige: "Have you had breakfast? Do you have any other plans today? How about waiting for me to change clothes..."

Jiang Baige's expression still did not relax: "No, I still have to stop Cao Xiong."

"You go stop him? This... this won't be dangerous, right?"

Her tone was uncertain and her eyes were no longer as relaxed as before.

"Of course there will be danger, but Ping An, do you think that if he fails today, given his character, will he just give up?" Jiang Baige patiently analyzed the current situation, "But next time, I may not be so lucky to know his plan in advance, so..."

"We must eradicate the roots?"

"It's not that serious." Jiang Baige patted Xia Ping'an's shoulder and asked her to relax. "But we must come up with a permanent solution so that he won't be able to harm anyone again in the future."

Xia Ping'an shook her head. She couldn't think of any solution.

Ever since she was harassed by Cao Xiong in her new home, she has been thinking about this question every day, but has never come up with an answer.

And she remembered that they had discussed this matter many times.

Jiang Baige understood what Xia Ping'an meant: "We were all wrong before. In fact, the solution to Cao Xiong is far away in the sky, but it is also close..."

She pointed at Xia Pingan.

Xia Pingan pointed at himself and asked in surprise: "Me? You mean, I can send Cao Xiong to the police station and make sure he never gets out?"

"That's right." Jiang Baige nodded firmly.
