Chapter 27 Monitoring
Lin Guzhi could hear Dong Xiaoduan's little thoughts, and Yao Anxin, as a manager, could naturally hear them as well.

Yao Anxin added: "Thank you for your hard work." However, the subsequent arrangements inevitably involved different treatments.

She said, "The thief has already run away and probably won't come back. Besides, you called the police, Xiao Dong. In that case, you should go home quickly. You are soaked all over. If you don't go home and change clothes, you might catch a cold."

She knew that although Lin Guzhi had bought a mobile phone, he had not yet applied for a SIM card, so she said, "I'll call a car for you. What's your address?"

Lin Guzhi did not refuse, nodded and said: "Thank you, Manager Yao. I live in Heping No. 1 Community."

Yao Anxin and Dong Xiaoduan were both stunned and slightly surprised.

"Peace No. 1? The houses there are not cheap."

Yao Anxin said as she entered the address on her phone.

Lin Guzhi said: "That's my classmate's house. Xiaoxi and I have nowhere to live, so we borrowed it to stay temporarily."

Yao Anxin thought of Lin Guzhi's cell phone and Xiaoxi's harmonica, nodded and said, "Your classmates are pretty good."

She called a car for Lin Guzhi and said, "Okay, the car is ready. It will be here in five minutes. Xiaodong, Guzhi, go home to change clothes and rest. You will have to hold on here tonight. Although the thief probably won't come again, it's better to leave someone here."

The embarrassment on Dong Xiaoduan's face flashed away, and he patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Manager Yao! Leave it to me, I can handle it."

Yao Anxin smiled and said, "Of course it's okay with you watching over me. I trust you."

Dong Xiaoduan was immediately delighted after hearing Yao Anxin's praise.

Yao Anxin added: "You don't have to stay up all night, just stay here and go to sleep. Get up if there's any noise."

Dong Xiaoduan patted his chest and said that it was okay and he would take care of everything.

Yao Anxin suggested taking a look at the window, and several people went to the wall to take a look, but they couldn't see any clues. They just felt that the thief was very strong and climbed very high.

You have to know that the window on the wall is so high, and there is no place to step on from the outside. It must have taken a lot of effort for the thief to climb up.

Five minutes passed quickly, and the online taxi that Yao Anxin called for Lin Guzhi arrived.

He said goodbye to Yao Anxin and Dong Xiaoduan, and got into the car with Xiaoxi.

After the car drove out of the warehouse yard, Yao Anxin walked into the gatehouse from the warehouse door and said, "Xiao Dong, turn on the surveillance camera. I'll take a look. There should be a camera at the window, right? Let's see if there is a picture of the thief's face. We can also hand it over to the police and provide some clues."

Dong Xiaoduan slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, how could I forget this? It has to be you, Manager Yao! I can't do it. I can't remember these key things."

Yao Anxin seemed not to hear Dong Xiaoduan's flattery and waited for Dong Xiaoduan to open the video for playback.

He didn't respond at all, and was talking and laughing with Lin Guzhi, and even told him to go back and rest...

Dong Xiaoduan grumbled unwillingly in his heart but did not show it. He bent over and stood in front of the surveillance monitor, operating the mouse to select the camera at the location he wanted to view and clicked it.

While clicking the mouse, he reported other situations to Yao Anxin: "Manager Yao, the thief came in just now and ran away before he jumped out of the window. Do you know how he escaped?"

Yao Anxin asked: "How did you run away?" She answered with a calm tone. When communicating with employees, this kind of tone is most convenient for guiding employees to stop talking nonsense and get down to business.

Now this reply also has the same effect.

Dong Xiaoduan said: "He ran away suddenly, as if he was scared. Before he ran away, he said something like 'it's you, you're here too', as if he was afraid of someone.

"Manager Yao, this is really weird. I thought the thief was talking about Lin Guzhi, but Lin Guzhi said no, he thought he was talking about me. Who do you think he was talking about?"

Yao Anxin shook her head, indicating that she didn't know, but she couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Are you talking about Gu Zhi? Does this guy have any secrets?
Dong Xiaoduan was still guessing: "I'm not talking about me or Lin Guzhi, who else is in the warehouse? Xiaoxi? Are you kidding..."

"Stop guessing and turn on the replay." Yao Anxin interrupted Dong Xiaoduan's chattering, "Won't we know who it is just by watching the replay?"

"Yes! Yes! Why didn't I think of that? It has to be you, Manager Yao. No wonder you can be a manager!"

Dong Xiaoduan's flattery came rolling in again.

Yao Anxin: “…”

But when Dong Xiaoduan turned on the playback, he was suddenly stunned: "Manager Yao, the surveillance video was not saved."

Yao Anxin frowned.

"That shouldn't be the case. Why didn't it get saved?"

Dong Xiaoduan muttered to himself and checked carefully, only to find that the surveillance recording function was not turned on, and the storage space was empty, with nothing in it.

"Manager Yao, the save function is not turned on. I don't know who maintains this. I haven't touched the surveillance camera since I came here."

He reported and explained, and hurriedly said that this was not his work error.

"Ah."

Yao Anxin nodded, somewhat distracted.

Dong Xiaoduan was kind enough to say something to Lin Guzhi: "It wasn't Lin Guzhi either. He didn't touch the surveillance camera. As for the little girl he brought with him, she certainly wouldn't do that."

Yao Anxin glanced at Dong Xiaoduan and seemed to have a different opinion of him.

But she was not in the mood to care about the surveillance now. She was just wondering who Lin Guzhi was and whether he had some secrets.

Is it safe to keep him in the supermarket?

……

"Crack, crack, crack—"

The rain tonight is not like last night. Last night the rain stopped after a while, but tonight it is endless.

Lin Guzhi and Xiaoxi took an online taxi all the way back to Heping No. 1, and the rain was still hitting the car windows.

The driver dropped Lin Guzhi and Xiaoxi directly at the door of Unit 1 in Building 2 to save them from getting wet in the rain when getting out of the car.

After taking the elevator upstairs, the two heard the sound of musical instruments in the house.

It seems that the female singer is composing again and has not gone to bed yet.

Lin Guzhi directly fumbled for the key from the door frame and opened the door, which scared Xia Qing who was inside the door.

The moment the door opened, Lin Guzhi and Xiaoxi saw Xia Qing, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, suddenly started playing the guitar, holding the guitar and asked, "Who?!"

Fortunately, the next moment, Xia Qing saw who was coming, patted his bulging chest and let out a long sigh: "You two scared me to death! Why are you back at this time? Aren't you supposed to be on night shift?"

Lin Guzhi said: "A thief came to the warehouse, and I chased him and got soaked. The manager sent me back to change clothes and rest."

Only then did Xia Qing notice the wet clothes on Lin Guzhi's body that were tightly attached to his body, and she was unable to take her eyes away for a moment.

How come this guy has such a good figure?!

　Thanks to Cricket a Cricket and Qiu Diao for the reward.
