Chapter 49 -49: Corridor Encircled
Jhiang Xingzhi, upon seeing Jhiang Yuan safe and sound, suddenly had tears in his eyes, “My girl, dad is here to take you home.”
Such a simple and unadorned sentence also brought tears to Jhiang Yuan’s eyes.
No matter how grown up you are or how far you go, in the eyes of your parents, you are always a child that needs to be cared for.
Zhang Kaiyang and Ye Mianmian were also moved, but Song Yi remained calm, busying himself by securing the kayaks to the nearby window frame.
“We’re running out of time now, let’s hurry up and pack up!”
“All right!”
With the addition of Jhiang Xingzhi, the five of them quickly moved the supplies from upstairs down.
Song Yi looked anxious, and Jhiang Yuan, seeing the strong winds, felt nervous as well.
“Hurry up…”
The group quickly jumped into the boat, this time bringing plenty of ropes to secure the supplies.
“Kaiyang, you take the helm. Jhiang Yuan, go to the back with Ye Mianmian and keep watch.”
“Okay.”
The two exchanged glances and began to get busy.
Although they weren’t steering the boat, they couldn’t relax for a moment.
The wind was so strong now, and the rain showed no signs of stopping.
Not to mention, the obstacles in the road and the ill-intentioned passersby were enough to give them a hard time.
On their way back, they had to detour from afar. Zhang Kaiyang, being skilled, easily reached their destination.
However, the closer they got to the residential area, the more frightened Jhiang Yuan became.
The others felt the same, choosing today to pick her up was a reluctant decision.
If the wind hadn’t been so strong, waiting until evening would have been safest.
Sure enough, just as they entered the residential area, they were spotted by people upstairs who even called out to them.
Song Yi looked at Zhang Kaiyang and commanded, “Hurry back.”
“Oh, okay!”
Zhang Kaiyang steadied his nerves and bypassed the buildings in front, heading towards building 13.
When they reached the entrance of the building, the rain had already flooded the third floor; they went up from the fourth-floor corridor.
The windows could be opened directly, left that way by Song Yi before they left.
This way, they wouldn’t need to break a window and attract unnecessary attention.
He jumped down first, followed by Zhang Kaiyang. The two of them together secured the kayak with ropes, only then did the other three come down.
“I’ll unload with Jhiang Yuan here; you guys go directly send the goods to the ninth floor, Zhang Kaiyang leading the way, make sure no one gets left behind!”
“Okay, quickly…”
Not only she, but the others understood as well what was meant.
The tarp wasn’t fully unfolded; each person carried two large woven bags, grabbing as many boxes as they could carry.
Taking more would reduce the number of trips, thus greatly increasing their safety.
Once the three began to head upstairs, Song Yi called to Jhiang Yuan.
He moved the goods from the boat, while Jhiang Yuan received them at the window, placing them in the hallway.
They had been unloading for less than three minutes when someone appeared.
It was a man, seemingly familiar but not well acquainted.
“Hello, I was wondering, where did you get all these things?”
“Let me help you!”
With that, he tried to take the bag from Jhiang Yuan’s hands.
“Don’t touch my things.”
Her voice was loud, startling the man unexpectedly.
“Don’t get angry, I didn’t mean anything by it. I just wanted to help.”
“Sorry, I don’t need any help, please step aside.”
The man, not offended even though rebuffed, was really keen on knowing the situation with the supplies.
However, before he could ask again, two more people arrived.
“My god, there really are people back here. With all these goods, are you moving?”
Since they were using woven bags, which resembled moving, and hadn’t revealed the food inside, the situation remained stable for the time being.
Jhiang Yuan glanced over and had no desire to deal with this group of people.
Jhiang Xingzhi and his party had also returned, and upon seeing a few people ahead, their hearts sank.
“What are you doing, make way, can’t you see we’re unloading?”
As he spoke, a few more people came down from upstairs.
Song Yi jumped down from the boat as the goods were safer on it. With so many people around, if it came to outright robbery, there might be some who slipped through the net.
If they were kept on the boat, they just needed to guard the window.
“Jhiang Yuan, this time, I’ll go up with Zhang Kaiyang, and you guard…”

“Okay…”
Apparently, it wasn’t easy upstairs either, with not a few followers, and this way, they were indeed in danger.
They had only moved a little of the goods from these two boats, which was far from enough.
“You also be careful!”
“Hmm!”
Not to mention, at the very least, everyone was in grave danger now.
“Miss, I see your boxes are in original packaging, do you perhaps have a lot of goods? Could you sell some food to me?”
The speaker was a bespectacled man, genteel and very observant.
That was a box of bagged pork slices, ten bags to a box, and he had noticed it.
Jhiang Yuan knew today probably wouldn’t end peacefully.
If she agreed to his request, she might still maneuver a bit.
If she didn’t agree, then conflict would only escalate faster.
Since the supplies were already exposed, it was better to buy some time for Song Yi and the others.
Once back home, their stronghold was fortified enough to fend off some threats.
“Are you really willing to pay?”
Upon hearing a possibility, the man also became enthusiastic.
“Yes, I’m willing to pay, any food is fine.”
“We are also willing to pay, any food will do.”
While they were talking, one person had already started to reach out.
Jhiang Xingzhi had been watching, and now, with just a few baggage handlers in the hallway, three people with six eyes among them, he wouldn’t let him succeed.
“What are you fiddling with!”
As he spoke, he took a red tassel spear from the boat and handed Jhiang Yuan a Tang Sword as well.
Ye Mianmian also silently picked up a golf club, and all three took up combat stances.
The determination in their eyes sent chills down everyone’s spine.
Jhiang Yuan, very appropriately, let the blade shine with a cold light that involuntarily made people step back.
“What are you doing, thinking of using a knife?”
The speaker was the one who had just tampered with their belongings, and Jhiang Yuan’s gaze was icy cold.
“If you don’t mess around, I won’t do anything.
We don’t have that much food, most of it is luggage.
If anyone is still daydreaming, I don’t mind sending him to heaven.”
With that, she took a Taekwondo Black Belt’s headband from her pocket and tied it around her head.
As for the belt, forget it.
This was prepared beforehand, hoping to scare people at a critical moment.
Indeed, paired with her fierce gaze, it really did scare the crowd for a moment.
Song Yi and Zhang Kaiyang had also come down, followed by quite a few people.
“What is this, everyone wants to help us move?”
More and more people were gathering in the hallway, and even if a fight broke out, they didn’t stand a chance.
With so many people, they would be worn out.
Unable to use their space, they suddenly felt a bit panicked.
A familiar face emerged from the crowd, it was Sun Yian.
