Working in Dongguan: The Girls I Met Over the Years

Chapter 65 set up a plan

Ma Junjie walked outside but did not go downstairs.

Instead, they went to the end of the corridor and stood near the public restroom.

He planned to wait and see, hoping the suspect would take the bait.

I waited for about ten minutes, I don't know if someone notified me or if it was just a coincidence.

Wang Hu and Skinny Monkey returned with smiles on their faces.

Ma Junjie watched them go into the dormitory.

So he quickly moved closer and stood outside the door to eavesdrop.

Just as he leaned in to listen, he suddenly heard Wang Hu say to the skinny monkey,

"Skinny Monkey, don't rush, go and close the door first."

The skinny monkey chuckled and said,

"There's no need. That kid Ma Junjie won't be back anytime soon."

"Let's hurry, search the bags!"

"Go quickly!" Wang Hu shouted. Skinny Monkey had no choice but to turn around and close the door.

Upon seeing this, Ma Junjie quickly hid.

When they returned, they found that Skinny Monkey had only left the door slightly ajar, merely making a show of it.

Ma Junjie smiled coldly, thinking to himself,

"You sons of bitches, you're all going to die!"

With that in mind, he peered through the crack in the door and carefully observed the situation inside.

He heard Wang Hu ask Fatty Tiger,

"Gian, are you sure the money's in this bag?"

Gian responded with an "Ouch!"

"Absolutely true!"

"That kid told me himself, it can't be wrong!"

"Heh, how can there still be such foolish people in this world? They actually tell others where they hid their money!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Hu was taken aback, his brows furrowing as if deep in thought.

After a few seconds, he said very excitedly,

"Fat Tiger, Skinny Monkey, don't move! I have a feeling something's not right!"

"That kid Ma Junjie doesn't seem stupid. Could there be a trap here?"

Upon hearing this, Fat Tiger and Skinny Monkey stared at each other, bewildered.

After a few seconds,

The skinny monkey suddenly burst into laughter.

He scoffed dismissively.

"Tiger, don't overthink it."

"That kid Ma Junjie isn't as smart as we think."

"If you ask me to analyze it, I think it's very likely that Fat Tiger's honest and simple appearance misled Ma Junjie, making him think that Fat Tiger was a reliable person!"

"However, little did he know that Fat Tiger was actually the worst. As soon as he heard the news, he immediately called us, hahaha!"

Ma Junjie, listening outside, gritted his teeth in anger.

However, since the others hadn't touched their bags yet, he held back and didn't make any rash moves.

Then I heard Fat Tiger say,

"Tiger, I think Skinny Monkey has a point. Ma Junjie just came from the countryside, he's still quite naive and easily trusts people."

"That kid Ma Junjie has always been really nice to me. He just said he was going to go downstairs and buy me some iced watermelon!"

"Tiger, don't hesitate, let's get started and find his money first!"

As he spoke, Fatty Tiger squatted down and, with a "whoosh," pulled Ma Junjie's bag out from under the bed.

At the same time, prepare to open Ma Junjie's bag.

Ma Junjie kept a close watch from outside.

He was just waiting for them to open the bag so he could rush in, catch them red-handed, and leave them speechless.

But at this crucial moment,

Wang Hu stopped him again.

"Gian, don't move! Don't fucking move!"

Fat Tiger paused, then stopped and complained.

"Tiger, what are you waiting for!"

"Just like before, a quick search, find the money, then pin the blame on outsiders—nobody knows a thing!"

The skinny monkey chimed in.

"Yeah, Tiger, you were so decisive when you stole that four hundred dollars before. Why are you hesitating today? It's not like you."

Wang Hu spat at the skinny monkey with a "pui" sound.

He cursed.

"Damn it, you two are all brawn and no brains, what do you know?"

"Based on my understanding of Ma Junjie, I feel that he is already suspicious of us, and this time he deliberately set a trap to ensnare us."

"Trying to trap us?" Skinny Monkey and Fat Tiger exchanged glances, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Next second,

They all burst into uncontrollable laughter.

Fat Tiger said,

"Brother Tiger, so you mean Ma Junjie is watching us from outside the door right now?"

"So, did he hear everything we said?"

The skinny monkey also laughed loudly.

"Tiger, I've realized you're overthinking things."

"If that kid really is outside, I'll secretly show him right in front of him!"

After saying that, the skinny monkey bent down, preparing to open Ma Junjie's bag.

Wang Hu stopped him again.

"Skinny Monkey, don't do anything stupid! Don't act impulsively and get me into trouble too!"

"I suspect there's not a single penny in that bag; Ma Junjie just lied!"

Upon hearing this, the skinny monkey stopped.

He smiled at Wang Hu.

Then he looked towards the doorway.

He suddenly cursed.

"Ma Junjie, if you're fucking out there, get the hell in here!"

"The three of us are going to steal your money, and let me tell you, the four hundred dollars you lost last time were also stolen by the three of us!"

"Come in, come in and hit me!"

After a while, there was no movement outside.

The skinny monkey said to Wang Hu,

"Wang Hu, do you see anyone here?"

"There really is someone; they must have broken in!"

After saying that, the skinny monkey lowered his head, opened the bag without a second thought, and searched through it.

Wang Hu cried out in pain, "Ouch!"

He cursed.

"You two idiots! I knew I shouldn't have come with you!"

"Damn it, when he comes back and sees the bag has been moved, he'll definitely get suspicious again!"

As soon as the words were spoken,

Suddenly, I heard voices outside the door.

The group immediately quieted down and strained their ears to listen.

One of my roommates just came back from the factory.

Seeing Ma Junjie standing at the door, he shouted curiously.

"Ma Junjie, why are you standing at the door instead of going in?"

"What, is the door locked?"

The three people inside were terrified upon hearing this.

Wang Hu lowered his voice and shouted anxiously.

"Skinny Monkey, what the hell are you still doing with his bag? Close it and put it away!"

"I told you, but you wouldn't listen! Damn it, Ma Junjie is really out there!"

Fat Tiger was so scared that he trembled all over.

His speech became shaky and incoherent.

"Tiger, we...we're doomed..."

"Skinny...Skinny monkey, hurry...hurry up and put it away..."

As soon as the words were spoken,

With a loud "bang," the door was kicked open.

Ma Junjie walked in.

Fat Tiger took one look, cried out "Ouch!", and collapsed to the ground.

He kept shaking his head and muttering to himself.

"Brother Jie, I'm so sorry, so sorry..."

Wang Hu saw that Ma Junjie's face was ashen, cold and serious.

So scared that he kept swallowing.

He explained,

"Ah... Ah Jie... You... You saw it, this has nothing to do with me."

"I...I even tried to persuade him, it was all Skinny Monkey's...his idea."

The skinny monkey was furious when he heard this.

He grabbed a piece of clothing from Ma Junjie's bag and threw it on the ground with a "thud."

He pointed at Wang Hu and cursed.

"Wang Hu, you're such a bastard! We agreed to be brothers, sharing joys and sorrows, and you just sold me out!"

Then, he turned his head to look at Ma Junjie and said,

"Ma Junjie, now that you've seen it, you won't lie. I really did want to steal your money."

"But let me tell you first, the four hundred yuan you lost last time was stolen by Wang Hu. We were just helping him out."

Wang Hu exclaimed "Ouch!" and pointed at the skinny monkey.

"You...you...you fucking..."

Ma Junjie gave a cold laugh, raised his hand and waved it to stop him.

"Alright, alright, you three are all in the same boat, so none of you should criticize each other!"

"You bastards, you're all going to die!"

After saying that, he clenched his fist and walked towards the three of them...
