Chapter 31 Got Played?
ad dialed five or six times again, and another number had called over thirty times in a row."Is there something urgent" Wang Lin looked at the unfamiliar number and decisively called it back.The phone...The next day, Wang Lin still woke up early and started his work as usual. The only difference today was that he greeted Xiaoyue with a good morning before getting out of bed.
Although Xiaoyue didn't reply, he didn't mind. He estimated that she probably hadn't woken up yet.
At the entrance of Yunlan Community, the delivery lockers were empty again. He had no choice but to call each one individually.
I wanted to ask the second son for help, but after calling him for a long time, he didn't respond at all. "What a waste!" Wang Lin thought to himself.
After calling everyone, strangely enough, there was someone who, even though they were at home, insisted on having their package left at the doorstep. Wang Lin also said that leaving it at the door would be easy to lose, but the other person said it was fine and that they wouldn't claim compensation if it got lost. This statement successfully caught Wang Lin's attention.
Was he worried about disturbing anyone He put the package at the door and took a picture of it, then sent a text message to the recipient. He tore up the shipping label and put it in his bag before turning around and heading downstairs.
After about half an hour, a phone call came. Before Wang Lin could speak, a voice came from the phone.
"Hello, has the delivery been placed at my front door I just went to pick it up, but I didn't see it."
Wang Lin frowned, "I put it at the door as you requested and also sent you a text message. I even took pictures when I put it down."
"The voice on the phone immediately rose in volume. “What do you mean You're saying you just left it at my doorstep and walked away And I didn’t even get a text!”
Wang Lin patiently explained, "I'm sorry, you misunderstood me. Why don't you ask the neighbors upstairs Maybe someone took it"
"I just moved here! I don't know anyone. How could they possibly recognize me Come back and help me look for it, please!" The voice on the phone grew louder.
"Okay, I'll go help you find it once I finish my work."
"No, then when will it be They might have already taken my package! Come and help me find it now!"
"I really can't right now, I'm busy here. Wait until I finish up here and then I'll come over, what do you think" Wang Lin suppressed the emotions in his heart and patiently explained again.
"I told you! Come over here right now!" the person on the phone shouted.
"Okay, okay, just wait a moment," Wang Lin helplessly hung up the phone and finished his work faster.
Five minutes later, the phone rang again, "Where are you! It's been so long!"
Wang Lin looked at the time and said helplessly again, "It's only been five minutes. Even if I run as fast as I can, I won't be able to make it."
"Come on, my things are very expensive!" the person on the phone urged.
This person knows what they're talking about. They know that telling delivery workers something is valuable will make them pay more attention to finding it. If it's just a few dollars worth of stuff, many delivery workers won't bother looking for it.
"Okay, okay, I'll be there in a bit," Wang Lin said dismissively.
Finally, Wang Lin finished all the work in his hands and went to help find the express delivery.
He looked at the piece of paper in his hand. The recipient's name was Xiao Pei, apartment 501, building two. That meant there were only two apartments upstairs. It was good he had asked.
Coming to Xiaopei's house, he wouldn't let him in. Wang Lin asked briefly and went upstairs to knock on the door. He knocked for a long time, but no one opened it.
If everyone is not home, who else could have received the delivery or cleaning service
Wang Lin just happened to have the contact information for this sanitation company. I called them.
After a ring, the phone connected. "Xiao Wang What's up Is something wrong"
"Well, Uncle Zhang, I just wanted to ask if you came to Building No. 2 this morning"
"No, I usually go to Building No. 2 in the afternoon to clean. In the morning, I'm always at Buildings 5, 6, 7, and 8."
"Are you the only one cleaning in this community now" Wang Lin asked.
"Yeah, it's always just me. What's up" Zhang Shu was a bit curious. He asked out of the blue, "What's going on"
"It's nothing, someone threw a package at the door of apartment 2 this morning. So I just wanted to check if you might have taken it as trash."
"Oh, how many units are there"
"It's Unit 501," Wang Lin didn't hide anything from Zhang Shu, who was actually an owner in this complex. He had lived here for many years and knew most of the people. Perhaps he could even lend a hand.
"Oh oh, Old Cui's house is rented out How come it's abandoned at the door I know both units on the sixth floor, one is preparing to sell the house, and the other has been on a long business trip and no one has lived there recently!"
Wang Lin, hearing this, became even more confused. "It's not from the floor above, and no one from downstairs would pass by the floor above, so could it be..."
He looked at the door to 501, hoping it was just a thought. "I'll ask other delivery riders, maybe someone thought I dropped it and picked it up for me."
In the group.
Wang Lin: Did anyone at Yunlan Apartment Building 2, Unit 501 pick up a delivery package [Picture]
"No"
"No"
"No"
Song Wenxiao: "What's wrong Mùtóu, did your package get lost"
Wang Lin: "That's right, I sent him to the door, and he was gone in less than half an hour."
Little Rabbit Lao Ba: "I think you got scammed. Yesterday, I also sent it to the door, and then they called me saying they didn't see it. I just paid the money today."
"No way, you can still play like that"
"Yes, I had one like that a few days ago too. Was the recipient's name Xiao Pei"
Wang Lin: "Yes, he just moved in."
"It's her. Now, I personally deliver her parcels and make sure they reach her hands directly. I absolutely won't leave them at the door. If I do, I'll consider it a problem delivery and refuse to send it."
Wang Lin: "Damn it, why didn't you say anything in the group We see each other every day! You could have just mentioned it when we met!"
"I didn't expect her to become a professional."
Wang Lin: "......Goodbye!"
Wang Lin put down her phone, "If that's the case, then as long as Xia Pei doesn't admit to receiving it, he has no way. Oh well, I'll go find her."
At Room 2, Unit 2, 501, Wang Lin knocked on the door. When it opened, Xiao Pei looked a little nervous and said, “Did you find it”
Seeing her like this, Wang Lin was even more certain in his heart that he had been cheated. "Are there other people in your family"
"What about my husband"
"Why don't you ask your husband, see if he put it in" Wang Lin wasn't giving up, deliberately giving her a way out to see if she would admit it.
And now standing at the door, if she went to ask her husband, she wouldn't be able to keep herself outside.
Most people, when unpacking a courier package, habitually leave the box at their doorstep. As long as they step away for a while, and don't need to enter the house, they can see it right there.
But Xiao Pei directly said, "I asked, he didn't take any deliveries today."
Wang Lin, hearing this, had basically given up struggling. If what Lao Fu said was true, there was no need to check the surveillance footage; there would be no results anyway.
But he immediately thought of another way. "What did you buy"
"A box of cosmetics costs about a thousand yuan." At this moment, Xiao Pei's eyes were already filled with smiles.
This is it, this is letting you relax your guard.
"This delivery is probably lost, I'll compensate you!" Wang Lin intentionally put on a sorry expression.
"Okay, you can just transfer it to me directly" Xiao Pei immediately agreed after hearing Wang Lin finish speaking.
"Well, could I see the proof of value"
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll go get my phone." After saying that, she turned around and went to get her phone.
Wang Lin seized the opportunity, craning his neck to look into the room. In an instant, he saw a newly opened express delivery box.
The menu on the box was gone, it was inside Wang Lin's bag. Wang Lin took a deep breath and prepared to expose everything directly in a while.
When Xiao Pei refused to admit it just now, the only way Wang Lin could think of was to distract her and go see if there was a delivery box he had sent in the room.
Meanwhile, Xiaobai wore a sleep shirt. Summer sleep shirts are very cool, but the downside is that they don't have pockets. She also didn't have her phone in her hand, so Wang Lin guided her to get her phone, giving himself a chance to check out her room. If there wasn't even a delivery box, he would have to admit defeat.
But, the result is good, or it was seen by myself.e Pi, he was instantly furious."Old man! What's with you always butting in Don't you have apprentices"Zhuge Liang thought of his disciple, a face full of anger and frustration, and angrily said."You'...
