Chapter 50 -50: Divert Trouble East
“Everyone, hear me out, we are all neighbors here, let’s not spoil our relations.
Jhiang Yuan, you don’t remember me? We are all from the same building.
This is Song Yi from 2102, this is Ye Mianmian from 1101, and this is Zhang Kaiyang from 0902.
As for this old gentleman, he must be your father, right?”
Getting straight to the point, he mentioned everyone—what was he trying to do?
“We are all neighbors in this building, and I know you were out looking for supplies.
Here’s the thing…”
He said this, adjusting his glasses, pretending to be a dapper loser.
“Now that we are all facing difficulties, I think we should pull together.
Since you have supplies, you should bring them out to help those in need, don’t you agree?”
Jhiang Yuan looked at him. This man appeared fair, but he was actually the most selfish.
“Lawyer Sun, you know so much about each one of us, I’m sure you are just as clear about the rest of the families in this building!”
He looked at Jhiang Yuan, smiling slightly, with a trace of smugness: “Occupational hazard…”
“Ha, occupational hazards, or is it because you have relatives working as property managers!”
“What? Lawyer Sun is actually related to the property manager.”
“I had no idea; the property hasn’t said a word, I should have asked earlier.”
“He definitely knows some inside information.”
…
The people behind them murmured among themselves, looking at Sun Yian’s face which was not too good.
“Ms. Jhiang Yuan, you need to be responsible for what you say, I have absolutely no relation with Manager Liu!”
“Oh? No relation, yet you know his surname is Liu.”
Her retort did not intimidate him; instead, it brought out a light chuckle.
“I’m a resident of this complex, knowing the property manager’s family name is pretty normal, I believe many people here know this.”
Jhiang Yuan didn’t care, confident just like him.
“Yes, many people know his surname, but only you are related to him.
People say that every floor has an undercover agent sent by the property management, and I guess in Building 13, that’s you.”
“Don’t twist words and force logic here, we’re talking about your supplies.”
He said, his lips twitching slightly, displaying a nearly imperceptible smile.
“Here’s the thing, everyone, I do have some food, but it’s just a little snack.
However, our Lawyer Zhang is a relative of the property manager, and right in front of our property, there’s a big supermarket.
They are always so keen on collecting property fees; now that we are all facing difficulties, it’s only right that they help.”
Zhang Kaiyang was not dumb; he was usually very active and found a good opportunity now.
“Exactly, that supermarket by the property entrance belongs to the property, they’ve made so much money off us, now they definitely can’t keep it all to themselves.”
Ye Mianmian also chimed in: “I’ve been to that supermarket many times; they have so much grain, oil, and groceries, enough to feed a whole building without a problem.”
These remarks got others restless as well.
“I heard that a few from our building went out before, and the property folks didn’t want them to, nearly started a fight.”
“How can they do this, turning a blind eye during a crisis, why should they take so much money from us.”
“Exactly, make them send supplies over…”
“Agreed…”
“Right, make them send supplies over…”
Seeing that the crowd was fired up enough, Jhiang Yuan also took this chance to go downhill.
“Everyone, hear me out. If you want the property management to deliver rice and flour, we’ll need Lawyer Sun’s cooperation. Without it, they probably won’t bother with us…”
The pressure shifted to Sun Yian, and for once, he showed a touch of panic.
“I said, I have no connection with the property manager. It’s useless to keep bringing it up.”
“No news? I don’t believe that. Since you’re relatives, you must have WeChat contact. Dare you show your phone to everyone here…”
“You, I naturally can’t just show you my things.
Moreover, even if I have his WeChat, it doesn’t mean anything.”
Jhiang Yuan mimicked his pose, arms crossed, with a look of disbelief, “Do you think we are fools?
Normally, it’s already good enough to have the building manager’s WeChat, but you have the manager’s! Ask around, who else here has his WeChat?
Don’t say none, because no one even knows it.”
After all, the property manager wasn’t in any homeowner’s group.

The crowd was becoming agitated, and their looks toward Zhang Yian were increasingly hostile.
“Lawyer Zhang, could you please talk to the property management? We would all appreciate it…”
“Yes, Lawyer Sun, please be the good guy here!”
“I am telling everyone, that this entire matter is fabricated. You have to believe me…”
Jhiang Yuan decided to apply more pressure, seeing him falter, “Lawyer Sun, with all your evasions, do you not want us to get the supplies?
Look at you, sleek and well-fed, probably you haven’t lacked anything recently, but we can’t say the same. Our homes are out of supplies.
Or is it that the property management secretly delivered things to you to keep us quiet?”
“No wonder every time something comes up, he tells everyone not to fuss, not to be impulsive.
He just keeps inciting internal strife. Turns out, he’s just playing us for fools.”
“He definitely has lots of stuff at his home. Lawyer Sun, you shouldn’t be so selfish.”
“Indeed, we actually believed you…”
Feeling the situation was ripe enough, Jhiang Yuan decided it was time to pull back.
Currently, many were out of food, and wouldn’t think too deeply.
It was also Sun Yian’s fault for trying to appear superior, coming out today in a down jacket with a suit underneath.
In contrast to others, who were all in big cotton jackets and baggy cotton trousers, messy and unkempt.
After being home so many days, who could look polished?
Thus, it further cemented the fact he had been secretly supplied with food and drink.
“Lawyer Sun, let’s go send a message to the property management!”
Two burly men draped their arms around his shoulders, leading him away.
The rest, concerned about their food supply, followed.
The immediate danger was alleviated, but it still wasn’t completely safe.
Once they found out Jhiang Yuan had been making it all up, they would definitely refocus their attention on them.
“Hurry, move!”
With no one around, two men stayed behind to unload supplies while the other three began moving items desperately.
They had to climb to the ninth floor, involving five flights of stairs, neither too many nor too few.
But after several rounds, they were exhausted.
Jhiang Yuan also didn’t want Jhiang Xingzhi to tire himself out too much due to his age, as constantly running up and down was not feasible.
She took turns with Ye Mianmian going up, letting him stay below to keep watch and help with another man to unload supplies.
Everyone was pushing their limits, and in half an hour, incredibly, they were done.
Song Yi came over, packed up the kayak, and Jhiang Yuan collapsed on the couch in apartment 0902, utterly exhausted.
