Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Knocking on the Door

The two weren’t particularly familiar with this area.

But it was really just one bus stop away, not far at all.

"Girl, do you want to go?"

Although Jhiang Xingzhi was reluctant, he still inquired about Jhiang Yuan’s opinion.

"It depends on the situation. If it’s nothing major, we should make a trip.

We have quite a bit of food at home, but not a lot of vegetables, and we’ve already eaten a lot of what’s in the fridge.

Plus, there’s fresh fruit. If we could buy some, that would be great."

Actually, she wanted to go and see if it was possible to get some money.

The banks were closed now, and the ATMs were out of cash.

If that was the situation here on the mountain, it probably wasn’t much better elsewhere.

Now that we can move around, that place will definitely be very busy.

And they only accept cash.

She still had a lot of clothes in her space, which she couldn’t wear all by herself. If she could collaborate with them or find a way to exchange some clothes for money, that would be good.

Mainly, she didn’t have any other options at the moment.

"That’s right. We’ll take as many fresh vegetables and fruits as we can get.

The only fear is that there will be a shortage there too, and, when the time comes, they might limit the supply, and each person won’t be able to buy much."

Yes, that’s indeed a problem.

"We’ll talk about it after. Dad, you should also go back and rest for a while. You must be exhausted from today!"

"I’m fine, but you should go back to sleep."

Actually, it was still early, but she really did need to rest for a while.

Qin Yue had plugged in the electric blanket for her a while ago, and now the bed was warmly warm.

The electric heater was also working, and having just finished eating, her body was naturally warm.

Jhiang Yuan wasn’t sleepy, so lying on the bed, she took out her cell phone.

Since there was no signal, the phone was now just for checking the time and as an alarm clock.

With some rare leisure time, she turned it on to read some novels as entertainment.

Xiao Nuan played for a while and then ran back. Jhiang Yuan found a cartoon for them to watch, and mother and daughter enjoyed their own little world.

By nine o’clock, Jhiang Yuan was prepared to sleep when Zhang Kaiyang’s voice came through the intercom.

"Help, we are surrounded."

She was afraid of danger, which is why she had turned it on after she came back.

She thought everything was quiet, but the trouble still found them.

Just when she was getting sleepy, which was really infuriating.

"Hang in there, we’re coming down now."

It was Song Yi’s voice; he knew too.

"Roger that, don’t be scared."

Jhiang Yuan also hastily replied to reassure them.

"Xiao Nuan, mommy has to go out for a bit, let grandma come to keep you company."

"Mommy, can Xiao Nuan come too?"

"No, sweetheart. When you’re bigger, you’ll be able to go out with mommy."

As she spoke, she was already getting dressed.

Ready now, she went over to tell Jhiang Xingzhi and Qin Yue.

Then she hurried out the door without asking Jhiang Xingzhi to follow, because the upstairs wasn’t very safe either.

As soon as she left the house, she saw Song Yi. Clearly, he was waiting for her.

In the stairwell, they could hear the noise from below, the forceful knocking on doors, and impatient voices calling out.

The two of them didn’t dare to delay and quickly headed downstairs.

"What’s going on?"

The place was packed with people, all standing shoulder to shoulder, and Jhiang Yuan brought a big night-light.

The light beamed over, many were not used to it, but it did manage to successfully attract everyone’s attention.

"It’s them, these two are also murderers, none should be spared,"

accused a middle-aged woman who seemed, by the looks of it, to likely be a victim’s family member.

They came down from the stairs, and the situation here was still very clear.

In the afternoon, the mother and daughter who had hurt Ye Mianmian were also among the crowd.

So, this was a team coming for revenge.

"I really want to see who it is that won’t let us off."

Her voice was loud and carried an air of authority.

"Building Chief Sun, you can’t ignore this matter. Now they’re even threatening us, you tell us what to do!"

"Yes, we must have an explanation today, my husband can’t have died for nothing."

There seemed to be a sense of collective indignation, but where was Sun Yian?

She hadn’t noticed that at this moment, the door to apartment 2002 had also opened.

They must have heard the commotion and came out to join forces with them.

Zhang Kaiyang had come out as well, wearing a large cotton jacket that covered the wounds on his arm.

"Cough, cough, everyone stop arguing for a moment and listen to me,"

came the voice of Sun Yian. It was only then that Jhiang Yuan saw that he was on the staircase of the nineteenth floor.

No wonder she hadn’t seen him earlier.

As he spoke, he walked up, followed by four or five people behind him.

He really had the aura of a boss; to those unaware, they might even think him a "local emperor"!

"Song Yi, Jhiang Yuan, Zhang Kaiyang, and Ye Mianmian, you went too far with this incident.

Couldn’t you have discussed it properly instead of resorting to violence with knives? Don’t you know that’s a crime?"

Jhiang Yuan found this somewhat amusing and her gaze towards Sun Yian was full of hostility.

"Whether we know or not, what’s that to you?

Besides, it’s not like it’s the first day you’ve known what kind of people we are. What are you playing at, acting all high and mighty?"

Having said that, she rolled her eyes at him.

Sun Yian was displeased and adjusted his glasses before solemnly stating, "Jhiang Yuan, stop spouting nonsense. Without an explanation for today’s events, there will be no end to this."

Jhiang Yuan refused to back down. As a salesperson reliant on her conversational skills, why should she fear him?

It was laughable.

"What’s this nonsense you speak of? Unless I’m mistaken, you were hiding downstairs the whole time, weren’t you?

As the building chief, instead of setting an example, you let so many female comrades face danger alone. How commendable of you!"

This sarcastic remark left him with no face to save.

Letting others take the lead, if Zhang Kaiyang and the others were to open the door and a conflict ensued, he could stay out of it.

Then, when it was almost over, he would come up and pretend to console everyone,

gaining face and not paying any price. That’s the definition of reaping without sowing.

Now that Jhiang Yuan had called him out, undoubtedly people would start to question him.

"Humph, cut the useless talk. None of you are getting away today; murder demands a life, arrest them."

"Ah, what are you doing?

I just said one thing to you, and you can’t take it anymore. Your husband dying fits your wishes just fine, doesn’t it?

But I remember Lawyer Sun has a wife too, right? Knowing the law and breaking it isn’t something a lawyer should do."

She intentionally clicked her tongue twice and scrutinized them with an evaluating look.

"You’re slandering us. Our relationship is pure and innocent. How dare you spout such nonsense here,"

the woman snapped, her hands on her hips, ready to brawl like a shrew.

"Ah, if you two are so innocent, then why are you so flustered?

To explain is to cover up, and covering up is like telling a story!"
