In the evening, an auntie and her daughter pushed a food cart over to deliver dinner to the workers at the construction site.
Yu Miaomiao intercepted them beforehand.
She lied, saying she wanted to film a short video, transferred two hundred yuan to the auntie, and asked to be taken inside to experience delivering meals to the workers.
Although the auntie didn’t understand, who could refuse two hundred yuan falling from the sky? Besides, having an extra person to help serve food was like getting free labor.
She happily agreed and even lent an apron to Yu Miaomiao.
Disguised, Yu Miaomiao sneaked in, helping to serve meals while looking for a chance to slip away.
She was just one step away from success, but unfortunately, the man guarding the gate also came to get his meal.
The auntie was too busy and shouted, “Let the new girl serve you!”
The man’s gaze fell on the “new girl.” At a glance, wasn’t this the person who claimed to be Yu Lixin’s younger sister?
Yu Miaomiao was chased out again!
She was so angry she wanted to kill someone.
“It’s fine.” Brother Ming suddenly appeared beside her. “When everyone’s asleep tonight, I’ll sneak in and steal that card for you.”
“I’ll go.” The Brother Gui who had asked for her help was also there.
They could turn invisible to retrieve objects, which was indeed simple. The reason they hadn’t wanted to do this earlier was because there were surveillance cameras in the workers’ dormitory.
Yes, the dormitory had surveillance cameras, leaving no privacy for anyone.
“We’ll find a way to cut the power for a while and restore it after we’ve stolen it.”
As they were discussing the specifics, a worker in uniform quietly approached.
“Are you really Yu Lixin’s younger sister?” he asked, stepping forward.
Yu Miaomiao nodded.
“Sister-in-law already came and took all of Brother Yu’s things. What’s left are just some miscellaneous items of little value.”
“I want to see where my brother lived.” She played the emotional card at the right moment.
The man nodded. “Alright, I’ll take you in through the back later. Let’s say eight o’clock—wait for me behind the construction site!”
Great, she hadn’t expected things to take a turn for the better.
If she could handle it herself, it would be best not to let the Brother Guis intervene. It would be troublesome if it attracted the Investigation Bureau.
“Thank you, brother!”
“No need. Your brother was such a good man, sigh.” He sighed, then perked up. “Eight o’clock, be on time.”
These people, weighed down by life, always downplayed tragedies.
At eight in the evening, Yu Miaomiao changed into black clothes and sneaked to the back of the construction site like a thief. The man willing to help was already waiting for her.
“Follow me.”
There was a gap in the construction site’s fence, just big enough to slip through.
Yu Miaomiao followed him, skillfully avoiding the guard post, and entered the dormitory where the deceased had lived.
The so-called dormitory was just a long row of prefabricated houses. The walls were thin, the windows small, and there was no air conditioning—just two fans blowing at each other.
One room had twelve beds, crammed with twelve sweaty, exhausted men. The smell was overwhelming.
Yu Miaomiao coughed as soon as she entered.
The man who had brought her felt a bit embarrassed.
“It’s all men, the smell isn’t great—that’s Brother Yu’s former bed, and that’s his cabinet.” He pointed them out to Yu Miaomiao one by one.
The bed was already empty, and only a plastic bag remained in the cabinet.
“Are any of those drawers his?”
“We all share the drawers. Brother Yu’s charger was left in the outermost drawer. Sister-in-law said she didn’t want it.”
Yu Miaomiao walked over and pulled open the outermost drawer. Inside was a paper box from a razor packaging, containing a charger, razor blades, old-fashioned mechanical lock keys… all sorts of messy, useless things.
But digging through to the bottom, she saw that bank card.
“Xiao Feng, who’s this?” someone asked.
“That’s… Sister Yu, wants to see the place her brother used to live!”
“Didn’t you hear the boss say no one’s allowed to contact Yu Lixin’s family, or they’ll get fired? Why’d you bring her here!” the person protested.
