Chapter 53 -53: Zhang Kaiyang’s Family Under Siege
Regardless of the cold weather, she quickly got up to see what had happened.
The surroundings were still shrouded in fog, and nothing could be seen, but the noise just now definitely wasn’t fake.
Jhiang Yuan hurriedly lay back down under the covers, and Xiao Nuan shivered, seemingly feeling the chill from outside.
There should be some news online. She opened WeChat, and indeed someone in the group had asked, but no one was discussing it.
At this moment, only a few people had power on their phones, and moreover, everyone was clueless about what was happening.
Jhiang Yuan checked the small group chat, but there was no activity; probably everyone was still sleeping.
It was only five-thirty, and she had slept for three hours, which was quite refreshing.
Despite trying to lie down again, she couldn’t sleep anymore.
Having something on her mind was just like this, an old problem.
Jhiang Yuan, undeterred, began to search relentlessly online.
There were no updates, and no recent news either.
Now, unlike before, when something happened, it would immediately be shared online.
Now everyone was trapped at home. They could see what was nearby, but had no idea about anything further away.
It felt like going back to primitive times, most importantly because the internet was starting to become unstable, intermittent.
Entering a title, it would take half an age to search anything.
If the internet were to collapse, it would certainly cause panic.
Modern people had already grown accustomed to living alone, but they absolutely could not withstand being without the internet.
Jhiang Yuan sighed, turned off her phone, and forced herself to try to rest a little longer.
After being busy for such a long time, her body was sore and aching terribly.
“Ding~”
A message came in, and she couldn’t help but open it to look.
Zhang Kaiyang: “Help, they are prying open my door…”
Jhiang Yuan jolted up from the bed.
Given the speed of the internet, this message was probably not just sent; it must have been at least three to five minutes old.
Without time to think further, she hurriedly dressed and went to check.
These people, perhaps having failed to benefit from Sun Yian, had now targeted them.
Zhang Kaiyang was the first one, and the next would be the other three.
She couldn’t ignore it, also for the safety of her own family.
After getting dressed, she armed herself.
When she arrived at the living room, Qin Yue was startled.
“What’s wrong, sweetie?”
As Jhiang Yuan was changing shoes, she spoke, “There’s danger for the guy on the ninth floor, they are coming for us, I need to go check.”
Hearing this, Qin Yue became frightened as well.
“Don’t go, let your dad check what’s going on. You stay at home.”
“Mom, if something happens on the ninth floor, who do you think will be their next target?
If we all hide away, no one steps forward, their audacity will only grow.”
Qin Yue didn’t want Jhiang Yuan to get hurt, but hearing her daughter say this, she was anxious too!
“Wait a moment, I will call your dad, and we’ll go together!”
“Mom, just stay at home. Dad shouldn’t go either. Take care of Xiao Nuan and make sure not to open the door.”
As long as the door remained closed, they would be safe…
Jhiang Yuan didn’t say much more, as the situation was quite critical.
Upon leaving, she coincidentally ran into Song Yi, who was opening the door in the stairwell, accompanied by the imposing Little One…
The two exchanged a smile, and one after the other, headed towards the ninth floor.
When they reached the sixteenth floor, Ye Mianmian was bundled up tightly. Seeing the two of them was like seeing saviors.
“Brother Song, Sister Yuan, hurry and save Zhang Kaiyang.”
“Don’t be afraid, let’s go see…”
Jhiang Yuan said as she pulled Ye Mianmian along. The girl seemed frightened and was still trembling a bit!
“I sneaked a peek and I think there were about seven or eight people. It’s quite noisy now, and more and more people are gathering at the entrance.
I got scared and came up to find you all.”
Ye Mianmian had also gotten up to use the bathroom when she saw the message on her phone, which worried her too.
“Mianmian, you did the right thing. In a situation where the other side has many people showing off, finding a way to protect yourself and minimize unnecessary losses is smart!”
Jhiang Yuan spoke to her as they reached the ninth floor.
There were probably about twelve or thirteen people in the hallway, and there seemed to be more coming this way.
“Woof, woof…”
Little One charged ahead, leading the way into the crowd.
The door of room 0902 was nearly falling apart and looked like it was about to be smashed open.
The two men nearby, wielding sledgehammers, were startled by the sudden appearance of the large dog and the three people with Song Yi.
The video of the murder on the twenty-first floor was still circulating in the group. Now, armed and with an air of arrogance, they intimidated everyone around them.
Jhiang Yuan’s sharp eyes immediately noticed Sun Yian at the back, still dressed decently, seemingly unaffected by the situation.
The two men swinging the sledgehammers were in foul moods, seemingly having exerted a lot of effort, to the point of stripping down.
“So you’re all here too, huh? Want a piece of the action?”
Song Yi stood at the front, not saying a word.
Jhiang Yuan had already drawn her Tang Sword, and Ye Mianmian had raised her golf club.
“Click…”
The door opened from the inside, and Zhang Kaiyang came out fully armed, still holding a kitchen knife.
“What are you doing, bullying right up to someone’s doorstep? That’s too much.”
“Bro, just share some of the supplies, and this won’t be an issue. We could also save ourselves some time.”
“You’re not much to look at, but you dream pretty big. Why should I give you my stuff?”
“Bro, if you’re going to talk like that, don’t blame me for not being nice…”
“Then let’s try it!”
Zhang Kaiyang waved the kitchen knife in his hand, his resolute appearance quite intimidating.
The big man was not easily frightened and swung his sledgehammer towards him.
In this situation, Zhang Kaiyang was definitely at a disadvantage; these two men were up to no good.
If not dealt with now, they would be trouble later.
“Little One…”
Song Yi called out, and the dog immediately lunged, biting the man’s thigh.
“Ah…”
A squeal like that of a butchered pig resonated as the big man swung the sledgehammer, but Little One nimbly dodged it.

As people nearby thought to step forward to help, the dog let out a threatening growl.
The man hesitated for a moment and did not dare to advance.
However, the hallway was so narrow that it became very crowded with more people.
“Sun Yian, this must be your doing. Come out, stop hiding in the back like a turtle!”
Jhiang Yuan shouted loudly, capturing everyone’s attention…
Following her words, they began to look for Sun Yian.
The prominent lawyer at the back of the crowd was exposed to everyone’s view.
“Jhiang Yuan, I know you’re all in this together, but in these critical times, we need to pull together to overcome challenges.
You’ve also taken a fair share of supplies, I saw you moving them upstairs.”
Indeed, as soon as he spoke, he started setting the tone.
First, he claimed they were together, setting the three of them against everyone else.
Then, he brought up the issue of supplies, with people already starting to feel envious!
