Taking advantage of the opportunity he gave me to light a cigarette, I moved the documents in my arms to my armpits.
"From your accent, you're not a local, right?"
My heart suddenly shook, and I asked with a smile, "How did you see that?"
"The people in our place are relatively complex, and the Monan people speak with some Liaodong dialect."
Chen Changming is indeed a heinous bastard, but from a certain perspective, his transformation from a liar to a principal is inseparable from his carefulness.
I nodded to myself and said with a smile, "It's true that you are not from the local area, but from the next county."
"What a coincidence, so am I."
Chen Changming held a cigarette in one hand and pointed at me: "I know someone whose figure is very similar to yours."
"Hmm..." He gestured a few times in the air: "They are about the same height."
He kept chatting with me, and I could only speed up on my feet to try to leave as soon as possible.
After all, the document in my arms was very thick, and the file cover was a bit slippery. I could clearly feel that the file bag under my arm was constantly sliding down.
After walking a few steps, he asked again: "Is your face burned?"
I was slightly startled, and just about to nod, I immediately shook my head: "It's a burn."
"Oh, right, right." He said with a look of realization, "You said it before, I forgot."
"If it's convenient, could you take off the mask?"
Chen Changming suddenly went straight to the point, which made me stop immediately.
He looked at me seriously: "Don't think too much, I am a doctor. If possible, I hope to help more people."
Seeing that we were about to reach the fork, I speeded up a bit.
After finally reaching the door, we exchanged a few false polite words before getting away from him.
The file bag also slid down to my waist at this time. If I stayed there for another minute, I would be exposed immediately.
However, I can vaguely feel now that Chen Changming's intentional or unintentional probing just shows that he has begun to doubt.
There are many small shops in front of the school that can apply for phone cards. I randomly found one and applied for a new card.
When I got to the corner where there was no one around, I started calling according to the phone number on the file.
The first call was made to Zhang Zhaodi’s parents.
The person who answered the phone was a very old woman, and her voice sounded weak.
I asked straight to the point, "Are they Zhang Zhaodi's family?"
"who are you?"
"You don't need to know who I am, I..."
When the words came to my lips, I was a little speechless.
It is extremely cruel to tell an elderly person in person that her child has died tragically.
I really couldn't bear it, so I changed to a softer approach: "Zhang Zhaodi hasn't contacted you for a long time, right?"
"We just talked on the phone yesterday."
This answer made me feel dizzy for a moment. Chen Changming did such a good job in finishing the film that even his parents were fooled.
Only I know that it was Chen Changming’s careful planning.
"Then let me ask you, how long has it been since she came home?"
"Oh, it's been more than a year. My son is busy with work. I heard he's doing great in a big hospital!"
In her words, it is not difficult to hear her pride in Zhang Zhaodi.
Unfortunately, I want to destroy this pride.
"Let me tell you clearly, something happened to your daughter, and Zhang Zhaodi who called you has always been fake."
"Nonsense!"
The old woman on the other end of the phone suddenly became furious, with a torrent of curses mixed with dialects.
I held the microphone far away and waited patiently for her to finish scolding her.
The most difficult thing in the world is to reason with unreasonable people.
While she was catching her breath, I quickly interjected: "We are strangers, so there is no need for me to lie to you about this."
"I said "Liar, you are a liar!"
In desperation, I could only use my trump card: "Give me your bank account number and I will pay your travel expenses."
After hearing this, the other party stopped cursing and read out the card number after a long while.
Fortunately, I found some money from Zhang Hanshan, deposited it in the bank, and called him directly.
When I called the phone again, I just said: "I have never seen a scammer give you money first, right?"
With this method, I received a truckload of scoldings, but I also convinced all the parents.
And I became a pauper again.
The time I agreed with them is tomorrow at noon, and the location is at the school gate.
I want to completely expose Chen Changming’s face in public!
