Chapter 83: 82 What Help Did He Provide?

82 What Help Did He Provide?

Holding the wishful thinking that he might be able to sneak in, Li Ang came to the front of Wang Gong Apartment for the second time.

After looking toward the sixth floor where his home was, he first took a deep breath, then gripped the Holy Spirit Pendant on his chest and entered the apartment lobby on tiptoe.

However, whether he had already gone to sleep or the badge effect offset it so he didn't notice, Li Ang passed through the lobby on the first floor of the apartment and went all the way into the stairwell without seeing the strong old man appear with scissors, or even the manager auntie.

So... can I go home?

Li Ang, overjoyed, quickened his pace and went upstairs. Just as he raised his hand to knock on the door, the door was pulled open from the inside before he could knock, just like countless times in the past three years.

"Brother?"

Looking at Li Ang outside the door with a smile, seemingly very happy, Anna couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Didn't you say you were very busy these two days and wouldn't be back to sleep for now?"

"Mmm, I was indeed very busy, but suddenly I'm not so busy anymore, so I can come back... By the way, I haven't had dinner yet, is there... er..."

Looking at the strong old man sitting at the dining table in the room, glaring at him, Li Ang's smile couldn't help but freeze on his face.

No... why are you still setting an ambush?

"Brother, you didn't have time to help us move the luggage this morning, Uncle John helped move it up. When I was busy tidying up the room this afternoon, Bobby Laien and Fei Liya also relied on him to take care of them, and he even helped lull them to sleep just now."

Seeing Li Ang staring at the strong old man, Anna smiled and took the initiative to explain:

"Uncle John helped our family so much and refused to accept the hard work fee I offered. I didn't know how to thank him, so I finally decided to invite him to have dinner at home, just as a thank you."

"..."

So... you were the one who let the devil in?

After opening his mouth speechlessly, Li Ang moved his stiff facial muscles, forced a smile, and said:

"That really is something to thank him for, er hehe, that... how is Mr. John eating?"

"Good."

Answering Li Ang's question with few words, the strong old man's mouth corners pulled slightly, revealing a stiff smile, and then he stood up and reached for the basket next to him where the big scissors were placed.

Holy crap!

Just as Li Ang's expression changed and he was about to flee, he heard a dry cough coming from behind him.

"Cough..."?!!!

This is... a pincer attack?

Turning his head and seeing the familiar face of the manager auntie, Li Ang's heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly grabbed the 【Holy Spirit Pendant】 on his chest, ready to defend himself at any time.

However, the auntie who had successfully sneaked up behind him didn't attack but smiled and raised the large plate in her hand, handing over the beef bread roll with a crispy crust.

"Young man~ starving, right? Want to try a piece?"

"Er... it's okay... I'm actually not very hungry..."

"If you're not hungry, then move aside and let auntie pass... hehe, this thing is quite hot."

"Ah! Okay!"

Moving aside in a daze and letting the manager auntie pass, Li Ang sniffed the fragrance left behind and looked at the strong old man who kept fiddling with the big scissors opposite him, falling into confusion for a while.

Are you letting me in or not? Why are you two attitudes different?

"Brother?"

Seeing Li Ang lingering at the door and not entering the room for a long time, Anna couldn't help but blink in surprise, then walked over and pulled him in.

"Didn't you say you haven't had dinner yet? Sit down and eat!"

"Er... okay."

Walking halfway around the big table and sitting in the place farthest from the strong old man, Li Ang, who felt uncomfortable being stared at, picked up a knife and fork, bit the bullet, cut a piece of meat roll, and ate it without tasting it.

After observing for a while and discovering the reason for Li Ang's awkwardness, Anna couldn't help but reach out and pinch his thigh, then said with some reproach:

"Didn't you tell me before that although Uncle John looks a bit fierce, he is actually a warm-hearted good person? Why are you so reserved yourself?"

"..."

Big Brother isn't being reserved, but worried that because he thinks I don't look like a good person, he will pick up the scissors and snap...

"Hehe, men are all like this."

After looking at Li Ang's rather complex expression, the manager auntie with white curly hair smiled at him and kindly rounded things off:

"My old man is the same. He actually praised your brother to me, saying that although he works at the Police Department, he is actually a pretty good person and hopes to get along well with him in the future and try to be closer... Put it down, why do you keep touching those broken scissors?"

Forcibly slapping the strong old man's hand and snatching the big scissors that had been polished shiny, the manager auntie moved the large basket away with effort, and then roared at the strong old man who was at a loss after having his scissors snatched and was looking at her with wide eyes:

"Go wash your hands! Your scissors are covered in dirt, how can you eat after touching them?"

"Oh..."

After being roared at by the manager auntie, the strong old man's back, as strong as a bear, couldn't help but arch slightly, then reluctantly left his seat and went to the bathroom, looking back three times every step.

Phew... looks like auntie's status in the family is higher than uncle's, so I seem to be safe...

Looking at the strong old man who went to wash his hands pitifully, Li Ang let out a long sigh of relief, his smile became more natural, and he sincerely gave the auntie a thumbs up.

You are truly skilled at managing your husband!

After waving her hand with embarrassment, the manager auntie said with a smile:

"No, no, it's not what you think, the old man lets me do it."

After waving her hand, the manager auntie smiled and continued:

"Let's talk about you. Anna said you are from the Cleaning Bureau of the Police Department. What does your bureau do every day?"

"This... it's just helping out, dealing with some more troublesome situations, etc."

Looking at Anna, who was also full of curiosity beside him, Li Ang pondered for a moment and said with some difficulty:

"As for the specific work content, some are not very suitable to talk about while eating... Shall we talk about your family instead? Mr. John he... er..."

Seeing Li Ang suddenly stutter, the manager auntie couldn't help but pause and immediately looked toward the bathroom following his gaze.

Then the manager auntie was extremely speechless to find that her husband was washing his left hand while using his right hand to make a scissor shape, gesturing at Li Ang through the glass, while his mouth was making "snap" "snap" mouth shapes.

"Wash your hands properly!"

After roaring at the strong old man again, the manager auntie turned back and nodded with some apology:

"Unlike me, who is responsible for preventing danger, my old man has a stubborn personality and can't stand... hmm... you should understand what I mean, right?"

"Mmm, understand."

Hearing the manager auntie's words, Li Ang nodded in realization, roughly knowing what was going on with this couple.

Wang Gong Apartment has two abilities, one is "accidental avoidance" and the other is "evil object extermination". It seems they are each responsible for half, and the strong old man is responsible for the "extermination" part, which is why he has been glaring at him.

"Hehe, it's good that you can understand."

After hinting at her family's situation, the manager auntie glanced at Anna, who was listening in confusion, and continued with a smile:

"Young man, the Cleaning Bureau is a good place. Although I don't know much about you, I have met people from your Cleaning Bureau before.
