Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 198: What a coincidence
Qiao Sang walked out of the store with her repaired phone.
Considering that people with social phobia often suffer from mild nomophobia, she didn’t wait until tomorrow but went straight back to school to deliver the phone to Jin Feifan.
This repair and delivery caused Qiao Sang to return home an hour later than usual.
Entering the community, just as she reached the corner, she saw two men in black suits loitering at her doorstep, occasionally peeking inside her house.
The two men stood ramrod straight, looking like bodyguards.
Qiao Sang’s first thought was: In this hot summer, aren’t they bothered by wearing that…
Although two strangers appeared at her doorstep, Qiao Sang didn’t take it too seriously.
Although Tianjingyuan was not the most expensive community in Hanggang City, it was considered a wealthy area with a complete security system, with guards on duty 24 hours a day, and outsiders could not enter without registration.
Just then, she saw a Little Chubby Dove fly out of her house’s courtyard.
“Wait!” Qiao Sang immediately patted Ya!’s back, telling it to stop.
“Ya!”
Ya! also noticed the two humans not far ahead.
Qiao Sang stood frozen on Ya!’s back, only to see the Little Chubby Dove that flew out of her courtyard land on the shoulder of one of the men in black suits and shake its head.
Holy cow! Illegal entry!
Immediately, N news articles Qiao Sang had read before appeared in her mind.
“Girl Living Alone Encounters Stranger Sneaking into Room”
“Woman Living Alone in Liaocheng Discovers Stranger Hiding Under Her Bed, Who Laughs Instead of Fleeing”
“27-Year-Old Girl Living Alone Stuffed into Suitcase and Dumped”
“Warning to All Girls Living Alone: Do Not Pick Up Stray Pets, The Other Party Is Actually…”
The last news article was something she had seen on her phone not long ago, where some people exploited women’s soft-heartedness by having their Pets feign pity to be picked up and brought home, then using the Pet to determine if the person was living alone and easy to target.
It could be said to be very despicable.
Qiao Sang fell into thought; she was female and lived alone, and it wasn’t her narcissism, but even though she hadn’t fully matured yet, her face was quite pretty!
Could she have been targeted?
Thinking of this, Qiao Sang touched her face, and the more she thought about it, the more it seemed to be the case.
“When you two walk past, look fiercer,” Qiao Sang said to Ya! and Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.
“Ya!”
Ya! realized something, looked at the two humans ahead, nodded, bared its fangs, and immediately put on a fierce expression.
“Qunbao~”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s eyes lit up, it took off its ring, pulled out a portable mirror and a pen from inside, and began touching up the tic-tac-toe scar drawn on its face in the mirror.
Before Qiao Sang could walk over, the thinner of the two men in black suits seemed to sense something and turned to look in her direction.
The other party was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and said something to the person next to him, and the two walked towards her together.
In an instant, Qiao Sang’s entire body tensed.
Are bad guys this blatant now?!
Should she strike first and just tell Ya! to attack them?
Fortunately, her rationality was still intact, and she forcibly suppressed the urge to beat them up.
There was no substantial evidence now, and even if the nearby surveillance captured the Little Chubby Dove flying into her house, what if they lied and said it was an accidental entry?
After all, it was a Pet that went in, not a person.
The two men in black suits looked at the Yan Ling Dog and Treasure Hunting Ghost, who were staring intently at them, and silently stopped their steps about two meters away from the girl.
“Hello, are you the resident of unit 1705?” the thinner man in black suit asked.
Qiao Sang shook her head and said, “No.”
The two men in black suits were stunned; they looked at each other, and finally, the thinner man in black suit couldn’t help but say, “But recently I’ve seen you entering and exiting unit 1705.”
Before Qiao Sang could speak, the fatter man in black suit next to him turned and questioned, “Are you mistaken?”
“No way, I remember all the residents in our community, and she definitely lives in unit 1705,” the thinner man in black suit affirmed.
The girl had a Yan Ling Dog that had been in the news and a rarely seen Treasure Hunting Ghost by her side. Although she had just moved in not long ago, how could he possibly remember such a conspicuous presence incorrectly?
Our community… Qiao Sang heard their conversation and precisely searched for the keywords within it.
Could she have thought wrong…
“Who are you?” Qiao Sang asked.
“We are the community security guards. It’s like this: the owner of unit 1707 just reported to us that their house had two white glutinous fruits stolen by a Pet, and that Pet seems to have run into unit 1705, so we came to take a look,” the thinner security guard explained.
As expected of a high-end community, even the security guards dress so meticulously…
It’s a good thing I held back just now; otherwise, I would have been incredibly embarrassed.
Qiao Sang laughed awkwardly twice: “Haha, so that’s how it is. I just got back from outside. Do you want to go in and take a look now?”
“Didn’t you say you’re not the resident of unit 1705?” the fatter security guard frowned.
Qiao Sang said shamelessly, “I’m just a tenant. I thought you were asking about the owner.”
The fatter security guard’s face darkened, and just as he was about to say something, his gaze met the Yan Ling Dog, which was baring its teeth and looking at him, and he instantly swallowed his words.
“Then let’s go in and take a look,” the fatter security guard turned to the thinner security guard next to him and said.
As he said this, his eyes lit up, looking like he wanted to set off immediately.
Qiao Sang watched his reaction from the side, narrowing her eyes.
“What are you looking at? She just got back,” the thinner security guard reprimanded, then turned to Qiao Sang and said somewhat apologetically, “He just arrived and doesn’t know any better. We were also worried about wild Pets breaking in. We already let the Little Chubby Dove fly in to take a look.”
“It’s good that you weren’t here; it’s fine. If you find any wild Pets, just contact us.”
He secretly grumbled to himself, what a joke, they were security guards, not police.
For two white glutinous fruits, to casually search the house of a Yu Beast Master who clearly couldn’t be offended, what if they held a grudge?
This newcomer really didn’t have his head on straight.
The fatter security guard became anxious upon hearing this and said, “But…”
Before he could finish, Qiao Sang interrupted him: “Was the Pet that stole the white glutinous fruits caught on camera?”
The thinner security guard was stunned for a moment: “We don’t know what kind of Pet it was, only that it was blue.”
Qiao Sang asked, “Was the surveillance unclear?”
“The surveillance didn’t capture it,” the thinner security guard said awkwardly.
“Oh?” Qiao Sang raised an eyebrow: “Then how did you determine that the Pet that stole the white glutinous fruits ran into unit 1705?”
The fatter security guard stepped forward: “I saw it. I saw it run inside.”
Qiao Sang listened to his words and asked with a smile, “Where is this uncle from? Your accent seems a bit different from ours.”
“He’s from the Ancient Mist region,” the thinner security guard interjected: “He just arrived the day before yesterday.”
Ancient Mist region… Qiao Sang immediately thought of Water Luyana, who also came from the Ancient Mist region.
What a coincidence…
