The noise outside made Director Li go out to mediate. He first pulled Pei Shi Yu into the room and said, "Say less. Why don't you go back and look again? I'll stay here with Lin Che. If it's really lost, the security guards are the most suspicious, or someone picked it up in the elevator."

"I've searched the whole house."

"Is there a backup of the data?"

"It's all contracts and project proposals."

"That's a headache. Why don't you post a lost and found notice at the stairwell of the apartment building with a generous reward?"

"Will it work?" Pei Shi Yu asked softly.

"There's still a glimmer of hope if you post it. People who pick it up won't have any use for anything but the wallet, and the phone can't be unlocked."

Speaking of this, Director Li pointed the finger at me...

"Lin Che, really, why did you ask him for taxi money? If the bag can't be found, how can this misunderstanding be resolved?"

"He spoke very rudely right away, and I only asked him for it to vent my anger," I replied a little guiltily.

"Leave the matter of finding the bag to you. Shi Yu is very busy, and you have nothing to do these days anyway."

"How can I find it? I can't even get inside."

Pei Shi Yu interjected, "I have important matters today. I have an appointment with a client. Give me some money. I have nothing now. I need to buy a phone first. My ID card is lost, and I can't even replace the SIM card."

Pei Shi Yu's words reminded me of a girl I used to work with at a nightclub who now works at a telecommunications company after turning over a new leaf, but I didn't take the initiative to say it, not knowing if she would appreciate it.

Director Li touched his pocket and said, "I came out in a hurry and didn't bring a bag. It's all in the office. I have money in my phone, but it's useless to transfer it to you."

Looking at Pei Shi Yu's embarrassed appearance, I slowly took out a bank card from my wallet and asked, "Do you want mine? Interest will be charged."

Director Li quickly snatched the card and stuffed it into her hand, saying, "If you want interest, ask me. Consider it my loan to you."

Then, as if squeezing toothpaste, I added, "I know someone who can replace the card."

"Then take Shi Yu to replace the SIM card first. It's useless to stay here. Replace your card first, then look for the bag."

Director Li arranged everything very thoughtfully, and I became the sacrificial lamb because they were all busy people, and I was just an idle person.

Pei Xiang Long outside was gone. He was chased away by his daughter, so the corridor returned to silence. When the police saw that we were leaving, they looked like they were sending off a great Buddha, and the expression on their faces clearly relaxed.

Before we left, he also told us a few times, "Look for it yourselves first. If you really can't find it, come and find me."

Only Director Li agreed. I was the first to walk out of the police station. Pei Shi Yu came by taxi. Our grudges were too deep, so she didn't take the initiative to get into my car, but just stood at the door waiting for Director Li.

My car stopped at the door for a while. If the conflict between me and her could be resolved through this incident, I think it would be worth it, at least it wouldn't be so awkward to meet each other.

I rolled down the car window and heard Director Li say to her, "Shi Yu, take Lin Che's car. There's nothing that young people can't talk through. If you find it, call me. I have to go back to the company right away."

"Then you go first."

After Director Li left, Pei Shi Yu had no choice but to get into my car. Without money or a phone, it wasn't even convenient to take a taxi.

After she got in, I waited for her to fasten her seat belt, but she seemed to have forgotten about it and kept looking outside. Seeing that I didn't start the car, she turned to look at me.

Just then, my eyes happened to be fixed on her chest. Her good figure really made me lose my mind.

When I came back to my senses and saw her looking at my face very angrily, I pretended to be righteous to cover up my gaffe, "Seat belt!"

As she fastened her seat belt, I slammed on the accelerator and rushed out of the police station. Because I was absent-minded, I almost hit an electric car again, scaring Pei Shi Yu to scream. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and slammed on the brakes!

After this incident, I saw her nervously pulling on the handrail above the door frame, her eyes fixed on the road.

I didn't say anything, just didn't take the initiative to talk about the indecent behavior just now. It was just an unintentional act, but because of my past record, I think it only confirmed the image of a rogue to her now.

I drove directly to the telecommunications company, parked the car, took out my phone, and called the other party (Xiao Ling), and after making an appointment, I went to find her.

When I went in, she was busy. Seeing me, she smiled and said, "Brother Lin, please wait a moment."

"It's okay, you go ahead and do your work."

Pei Shi Yu was carefully picking out phone models at the counter. I had also bought my phone here a few days ago, and Xiao Ling had chosen the package for me.

After waiting for about ten minutes, I heard Xiao Ling say, "Brother Lin, it's done."

I walked over and pointed at Pei Shi Yu and said, "A friend of mine lost her phone, along with her ID card. Can she replace the SIM card?"

"Go to the police station and get a temporary ID card first. You can't replace it without an ID."

Xiao Ling's answer made me very upset. It was almost time to get off work, and there was definitely no time to run back and forth again. Not only could I not replace it here, but the window at the police station was also closed for the day.

So I walked to Pei Shi Yu and said, "Replacing the card requires a temporary ID card."

She quickly looked up to confirm, "Can't replace it?"

"Yeah, you could get a temporary ID card at the police station just now."

Then I added, "It's too late to rush back now. They're all off work."

She walked to Xiao Ling and asked, "Can I buy a card?"

"You also need to register with your ID card."

"Then forget it."

After Pei Shi Yu finished speaking, she walked out very decisively. I followed and asked, "If you need to make a call, you can use my ID card to get a card first, and then cancel it after you replace your own."

She stopped and replied with some suspicion and doubt, "It's useless without contact information, and I can't log in to WeChat."

"You should have a common group with Director Li, right? You can ask Director Li to explain it first, and call your newly purchased number if there's anything."

After hearing what I said, Pei Shi Yu hesitated for a while before replying, "Then go do it, and I'll pick out a phone."

That day, Pei Shi Yu swiped my bank card and installed a SIM card with my ID, but her attitude towards me didn't change at all. After I sent her to the company, she didn't even say thank you, and just pulled the door open and left, only turning back to say, "You go find the bag."

I don't know why, but being taken for granted by her would make me feel willing. Looking at her leaving back, I really felt very idle.

I didn't leave immediately, but sat in the car and lit a cigarette. This was my second time here. Let's not mention the first time. The things that happened now seem a bit like a divine intervention.
