The end of the world starts with failing the exam

He didn't sleep all night.

Fortunately, after transforming into an ancient descendant, his physical fitness was several times stronger than that of ordinary people, and he didn't feel anything special even after staying up several nights in a row.

At least I don't have to be like before, always afraid that I will die suddenly at home and no one will collect the body.

After getting up, Chen Jing first went to take a hot bath.

When he came out wearing a yellow bathrobe with Pikachu printed on it and saw the mess in the living room, he just felt a headache...

"Did you sneak out last night?"

"..."

"What are you looking for when you rummage through the cabinets?" Chen Jing reluctantly picked up the broom and started cleaning, then picked up an empty potato chip bag, "You're not looking for something to eat, are you?"

"..."

Seeing that Bai Aji was too guilty to speak out, Chen Jing knew the answer.

Forget it, don't blame it.

After all, we agreed to treat it to a barbecue yesterday, but all the barbecue ended up in Li Mobai's and his own stomachs.

"Remember to pick up the trash after eating in the future. If you should throw it out in the trash can, throw it away. Don't throw it on the ground. Do you understand?"

"it is good!"

Hearing this crisp reply, Chen Jing felt like a mother for a moment.

How is this like raising a child?

Even though he hadn't found a partner yet, he actually ended up living a life of raising a baby ahead of schedule... But fortunately, at least the child was quite obedient.

"Yes, that's the trash can. Throw all those messy things in there. Remember to close the lid after throwing out the trash!"

At this moment, the living room felt like a quagmire.

There was black liquid like asphalt everywhere.

Chen Jing was sitting cross-legged on the beanbag, teaching Baiaji how to throw away garbage with his paws, while chewing a popsicle slowly.

Although those animal claws emerging from the black water look very strange, it is undeniable that... this guy learns things really fast!

It was almost time for Chen Jing to start thinking about how to teach it to wash, cook and take care of the housework.

With Bai Aji's help, the messy rental house looked brand new in just half an hour.

Even under the "erosion" of the asphalt-like liquid, the floor was as bright as a mirror and not even a speck of dust could be seen.

Chen Jing gave Bai Aji a thumbs up with satisfaction and did not hesitate to praise him.

"Good boy, you're so good!"

When children do well, parents have to praise them. After all, cultivating children's enthusiasm for doing housework must start with praise...

It wasn't until he was so embarrassed to praise Aji that Chen Jing started to walk around the house while talking on the phone.

He wanted to take stock of what luggage he needed to take with him. After all, he would be moving to Sentinel Ridge soon...

"Yes, Brother Zhao, I don't want this half month's salary. My sudden resignation will also have an impact on you... Okay, I'll be here in a minute."

hang up the phone.

Chen Jing immediately started packing his luggage.

In fact, there are not many things that need to be taken away, except for electronic products, there are no big items.

The furniture in the house basically belonged to the landlord. As for the beanbag and other miscellaneous things he bought later, he had no intention of taking it away.

The landlord is an old aunt.

When she first came to rent a house, she waived the deposit for Chen Jing because of his "beautiful" appearance. So now she suddenly quits the rent and wants to move out, which makes Chen Jing feel a little embarrassed...

But fortunately, he has already paid next month's rent in advance, and the remaining rent will be regarded as compensation, and for a small, well-decorated apartment like this in a downtown area, he should not have to worry about customer sources.

"Oh, Xiao Chen, do you think the rent is too high?" The landlord's aunt on the other side of the phone was still trying to persuade her with a very sincere tone, "If you think the rent is not suitable, aunt can come to talk to you! "

"Aunt Zhang, it's mainly because there are things going on back home... When I come back from work, if I still have a chance, I will definitely rent your house again!"

"Are you leaving tomorrow? How about two days later?" The landlady on the other end of the phone was extremely enthusiastic. "Auntie, will she cook you a meal?"

"No, Auntie, I appreciate your kindness. The main reason is that we have agreed over there that we must go back tomorrow..."

Chen Jing was still a little afraid of this old aunt who would come to greet her every now and then.

"Aunt Zhang! I have cleaned the house! When I leave tomorrow, I will put the key on the fire cabinet outside! Remember to pick it up!"

Before the landlord could say anything else, Chen Jing said hurriedly.

"Thank you for taking care of me, auntie. I hung up the phone when you called me! I will contact you when I have a chance in the future!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

The luggage has been packed by him and placed at the entrance.

What he has to do now is to seize the time to go out and go to the company to complete the resignation procedures.

Although the company is not far from where he lives, it takes time to go through the resignation procedures, and he dare not delay...

Wait until Chen Jing returns to the rental house again.

It was already evening.

As soon as he entered the community, he saw Li Mobai standing downstairs smoking.

"I thought you were going to let me go!" Li Mobai ran over the moment he saw Chen Jing, still complaining, "Didn't I tell you to stop running around!"

"I have something to do before I go out."

"Where have you been?"

"Go through the resignation procedures." Chen Jing held a cup of milk tea in his hand and drank it slowly with a straw in his mouth. "I plan to go back to Sentinel Ridge to live for a while."

Hearing this, Li Mobai seemed to be slightly stunned for a moment.

Although this change in micro-expression was almost fleeting, Chen Jing could see it clearly.

"Why do you suddenly think of going back?" Li Mobai asked calmly, his worried look was not fake, "Did something happen at home?"

"Well, my grandfather is missing." Chen Jing sucked a pearl through a straw and chewed it slowly in his mouth.

"Your grandfather disappeared?! When did it happen?!"

"Yesterday, or maybe the day before yesterday..."

Chen Jing said without changing his expression, repeating the same words he used to deal with the police.

he said.

While observing the expression on Li Mobai's face.

"The old man called me that day and said he was not feeling well, so I hurriedly asked for leave and rushed back to have a look..."

Chen Jing sighed and put on a sad expression.

"You also know that the mountainous road near my home is not easy to walk. In addition, I had a bit of heat stroke that day, so I walked relatively slowly. As a result, it started raining heavily before I got home, so I had to find a place to take shelter from the rain at night... "

Li Mobai listened very carefully, and he didn't know why he was serious.

"When the rain stopped, I went home and saw that my house looked like it had been robbed. It was turned into a mess and the old man was missing..."

"Did you call the police?" Li Mobai asked.

Chen Dingding nodded, his expression becoming increasingly helpless.

"Of course I called the police. They asked me to wait for news first. They are still investigating, but I want to go back and take a look. Maybe I can find some clues..."

"When are you leaving?" Li Mobai frowned.

"Tomorrow."

Chen Jing yawned. He was cleaning and going through resignation procedures. He was a little tired after a busy day.

"Didn't I promise to accompany you to the class reunion? I just have a good meal tonight and will be on the road early tomorrow morning."

"Why do your words sound so unlucky..."

Li Mobai looked at Chen Jing helplessly, feeling that this boy's temper had not changed. After all these years, he could still make people mad with just a few words.

"How about I send you to Sentinel Ridge now? I'll accompany you, otherwise I won't worry about letting you go back alone."

"It's okay, I can just go back alone..." Chen Jing smiled, "Should we go to the hotel at this point?"

At this moment, Li Mobai seemed to have no intention of going to the class reunion to eat melon and listen to gossip.

He had a solemn look on his face, as if he was also worried about Grandpa Chen Jing's disappearance.

"Are you going or not?"

"what?"

"Didn't you ask me to accompany you to the class reunion?" Chen Jing said helplessly, "If you don't go, I will go home and cook. I'm hungry..."

"Go! Go now!" Li Mobai came back to his senses and said hurriedly, "I parked the car outside, let's drive there directly! We can get there in ten minutes!"

"Do you have an umbrella in the car?" Chen Jing suddenly asked.

Li Mobai was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said no.

"Then wait for me to get home and get an umbrella." Chen Jing pointed to the dark cloudy sky above his head, "I think it's going to rain tonight."

"Rain? The weather forecast didn't say it..."

Li Mobai raised his head in confusion, only to realize that the sky had already changed.

"What's going on...it wasn't like this just now..."

He remembered clearly that when he got out of the car ten minutes ago, there was still a blue sky and white clouds above his head, but now it was completely dark.

Thick rain clouds are rolling crazily in the sky. They seem to be closer to the ground than before, as if they will drag the sky down with them at any time.

"It is going to rain."

At this moment, Chen Jing smelled a moist smell in the air.

"You go to the car and wait for me. I'll be back soon."

Chapter 71: Fighting for a Parking Space

After identification again.

Chen Jing still smelled the extraordinary scent from Li Mobai.

It smells exactly like Smith and the others.

Are you from the association?

After thinking about it, Chen Jing felt that it was very possible.

Because yesterday he hid by the window and saw clearly that Li Mobai had communication with the person sitting in the Santana.

Chen Jing couldn't forget that car.

I just didn't expect them to be so patient and follow them all the way from the door of the Anshui County Police Station... So Li Mobai was also the person called by the association?

Let Li Mobai approach him. What is the purpose of the association?

Are you trying to get information out of the old man?

Or……

Have they seen through the trap you set up?

"Why don't you speak?" Li Mobai asked.

"I haven't had a good rest and I'm too lazy to talk." Chen Jing leaned his head gently against the car window, with no expression on his face.

He looked at the sky covered with dark clouds, his soft and white face reflected in the car window glass, and there was a trace of doubt in his clear eyes.

"The weather seems a little strange."

"Maybe it's going to rain heavily..." Li Mobai disagreed.

He was more worried about Chen Jing's condition than the weird weather changes.
