Chapter 65 -65 Fleeing the Battlefield
The sound of the lock being picked was faint, but audible.
Our front door, aside from the addition of a padlocked iron chain, hadn’t been specially reinforced.
The intruders came aggressively, and choosing to strike late at night must have been premeditated.
Now in Building 13, we are well-known, with the enemy lurking in the shadows and us exposed in the light.
It’s hard to say who was coming, but certainly, they were from the opposing side.
Song Yi glanced at Jhiang Yuan and Jhiang Xingzhi, then made a hand signal.
The night light was placed by the door, and now they were accustomed to the visibility outside, able to discern the specific situation.
He nodded, and the next second, Song Yi fiercely opened the inside door.
“Ah!”
The people outside screamed for a moment, clearly startled by the sudden turn of events.
“You, how did you come out?”
The question was laughable, and Jhiang Yuan scoffed coldly.
“You’re here prying at my door in the middle of the night without sleeping, and you’re asking us how we came out?
Have you no shame? Are you here to steal something, huh?”
Her tone was sharp, and the three people on the other side also steadied their nerves.
“Hmph, you had someone beat up my mom during the day, don’t you think you owe us an explanation now?”
So they were here to stand up for the old lady, none of them were any good.
Jhiang Yuan gave Song Yi an apologetic look, as if to say she was sorry for getting him involved.

“An explanation? What kind of explanation do you want, why didn’t you come earlier?
Choosing to come in the middle of the night, who doesn’t know your petty tricks? Stop trying to act tough with me!”
The woman got worked up too, perhaps feeling emboldened because a door separated them, so she wasn’t overly concerned.
“Hmph, you’ve done those shameful acts, and now you want to just walk away from it. I’m telling you, if you can’t give a satisfactory answer today, neither of us will have it easy.”
Oh, now she’s throwing a fit.
“In that case, you better be prepared to face the consequences.”
As Jhiang Yuan spoke, she pulled out a baseball bat.
She had been practicing with it for the past couple of days.
At least, she thought, it wouldn’t splatter blood everywhere.
And with the support of her special ability, she could get anything she wanted instantly, which was convenient.
“Hmph, who’s afraid of whom? I’m telling you, bullying an elderly person, you’re going to see how you’ll compensate for this today.”
Is that all?
Still daring to claim they weren’t here to extort us?
Jhiang Yuan started to find it amusing and suddenly laughed.
“So tell me, how would you like me to compensate?”
Thinking they showed weakness, the other party instantly became more confident.
“Hmph, we can’t go to the hospital now, and we have no way to get a check-up for the old lady. If her condition worsens, it won’t be a small matter. You just pay two hundred thousand for medical expenses.
We can’t leave the house now, and we need proper nutrition; I know it’s hard to buy stuff.
Just bring over some staple groceries like grains, oil, rice, and flour, and we’ll need meat and vegetables too, all of them are essential.
Oh, and fruits and drinks, we can’t do without those either.”
Jhiang Yuan watched her make exorbitant demands, thinking this person must be insane.
“Do I look like Doraemon to you, making wishes willy-nilly?”
“What? You don’t want to take responsibility? Then don’t blame us for being inhospitable.”
“Hmph, I’d like to see, how do you plan on being inhospitable?”
Jhiang Yuan cradled the baseball bat in her arms, her entire demeanor dripping with intrigue.
“I’m telling you, our family isn’t to be trifled with.
Believe it or not, we have a hundred ways to make it impossible for you to stay in this neighborhood.”
“Hahaha…”
Jhiang Yuan couldn’t help but double over with laughter, finding these few individuals too amusing.
“So much effort just to make us unable to mix in in the neighborhood, seems like you’re not much capable either!”
“If you don’t believe me, just try, hmph!”
The woman hugged her shoulders, her face full of provocation.
“Give it a try then, who’s afraid of whom.”
“You… refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, don’t regret it later!”
The woman spat out, becoming somewhat frantic, and dragged two men to leave.
“Wait a minute!”
“What now? You’ve come to your senses? Unless you kneel down and beg me right now, this isn’t over.”
She was somewhat carried away with pride, thinking they were scared.
“Whether it’s over or not, we can discuss later, but you guys coming to my house in the middle of the night to pry open the door, that’s not exactly decent, is it? Trying to leave just like that, do you really take the residents of the 21st floor so lightly?”
She deliberately emphasized it was the 21st floor, not herself.
That was like positioning them as a collective, standing opposite this group of people.
Plus, the video of the 21st floor dealing with Scarface and Compass Girl had probably been seen by many.
“What else do you want to do? We are the ones who suffered here; don’t think you can act all high and mighty just because you’ve got weapons.
We haven’t been scared easily.”
As she spoke, she picked up the kitchen knife in her hand and shook it.
Interesting, more and more interesting.
“Since you don’t want to talk nicely, let’s get physical, whoever doesn’t step up is a wimp.”
Jhiang Yuan sneered, casually watching the three people opposite her.
“You…
You’re truly shameless, let me tell you, just you wait…”
Having said that, the three looked at each other.
And they actually ran down the stairs fast, with “pitter-patter” footsteps echoing continuously.
The remaining three looked at each other in dismay, with Jhiang Xingzhi still somewhat in disbelief.
“They, they ran away?”
Jhiang Yuan nodded, feeling her dad was too honest.
“They are all paper tigers; once they saw we meant business, they got scared.”
Song Yi fully agreed with her, “These people are nothing but trouble if left alone; we might not encounter big issues but probably endless small ones.”
“I totally agree, Song Yi, sorry for getting you involved this time.”
“Why mention it, just knock on the door when there’s trouble, don’t go at it alone.”
“Thanks a lot.”
After exchanging a few polite words, everyone went back to their homes.
Qin Yue was waiting; as soon as she heard the noise, she quickly came out.
Seeing that the father and daughter were fine, the anxiety she carried also dissipated.
Yet Jhiang Xingzhi was still somewhat worried; those people clearly had the vibe of hooligans.
It was uncertain whether they would bring more people over later.
“By the way, daughter, the young man next door seems quite nice; we should help each other out in the future.”
“Dad, helping each other is only right, but whether he’s a good person or not, I reserve my judgment.
Our two families are the only ones on this floor; securing the two doors at the stairwell entrance will provide us with an extra layer of safety.
If the door on their side gets broken, the next one to suffer will either be our home or theirs.
So, saying we should stick together is because we have a common interest at stake, do you understand?”
“Sigh!”
Jhiang Xingzhi let out a sigh, rubbing his brow.
“Your dad has lived for forty or fifty years, I would notice these things.
It’s just that I find it sad how suddenly there’s no sense of humanity in society.”
“Dad, never mind humanity; we should be thankful if others don’t come to harm us.”
