Chapter 210: Chapter 210: Beaten to Within an Inch of Life

Jhiang Xingzhi’s eyes hardened. Having lived more than half his life, there was little he didn’t understand.

"Ah, all for personal gain with no shame," he muttered.

"Yeah, it’s lucky we didn’t agree. They probably just wanted us to work for free!"

"Not to mention, such a futile effort could only be conceived by that group of people."

Whether it was truly futile or not, probably only they could clarify.

"Dad, is the snow getting heavier today?"

Jhiang Xingzhi looked outside and nodded, "It does seem heavier, and the snow hasn’t stopped."

"They said it’s a blizzard. It won’t stop easily. Look at these big snowflakes, they’re almost like goose feathers."

"This is truly more unjust than Dou E!"

Qin Yue’s remark successfully dissolved the awkward atmosphere.

"Alright, let’s not fuss over it too much. I’ll go next door and ask Xiao Song to see if there’s any work to be done."

Xiao Ling, who was nearby, also felt a bit awkward.

She had been preoccupied with teaching the children and had forgotten that there was work to be done today.

Jhiang Yuan noticed her unease and quickly reassured her, "Xiao Ling, don’t worry. I’ll head over and check it out. If I need your help, I’ll come back and call you."

"Okay, then I’ll leave it to you to check on that."

...

Song Yi had already gotten ready early, not wanting to disturb anyone by waking them late.

As Jhiang Yuan and Jhiang Xingzhi came out, he was checking the things they had fixed the day before.

"Xiao Song, is there anything else that needs to be patched up today?"

"There’s basically nothing upstairs. We’ll talk about some specific things later.

So, today we’re going to the twentieth floor."

"Alright!"

Jhiang Xingzhi was actually quite happy and felt he could learn a lot.

In his youth, he was very fond of reading martial arts novels. Perhaps boys from that era all dreamed of being martial heroes.

He particularly loved all the arcane techniques described within them.

When they reached the twentieth floor, they called everyone out to start some basic planning.

Song Yi felt that if there were any attacks, the twentieth floor would bear the brunt.

Therefore, they needed to install some immediate effect devices there.

Zhang Kaiyang, though not good at this kind of work, had many bizarre ideas in his head.

Fan Qing, too, could offer quite a few suggestions based on his expertise.

Liang Kang asked Jhiang Yuan to go back and switch with Xiao Ling.

"I don’t see much activity this morning, so she can stay upstairs and watch the two children."

She didn’t go back either, feeling reassured with Qin Yue at home.

Just as they were taking out the items, they heard what seemed like arguing downstairs.

"What’s going on, are they fighting downstairs?"

"It’s just those few families left, what could it be about!"

Fan Qing looked upset, frowning, "Oh my, I feel like it’s Fan Yao and Li Tianyu!"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Although they were old acquaintances, the relationships were not that good.

Jhiang Yuan didn’t say anything either. It was better to let them settle it themselves.

"Why don’t you carry on here, and Qingqing and I will go check it out.

After all, it’s still in my apartment. If it gets too out of hand, it won’t be good."

"Sure, go ahead. If you need help, just come up and shout," everyone agreed.

Ye Mianmian meant, as did everyone else, that it should be kept private, and it was best not to comment.

The two of them went down, and everyone else got ready and started working.

The noise was indeed very loud, especially Fan Yao’s screams, which were particularly shrill.

"Why do I feel this shouldn’t be coming from the ninth floor? It’s too clear."

Indeed, the sound was unusually clear.

"Could it be..."

Ye Mianmian immediately thought of something, and a sense of foreboding overwhelmed her.

"Let’s go, check it out..."

Song Yi went downstairs immediately, with Liang Kang quickly following.

Jhiang Yuan looked back, reminding Jhiang Xingzhi to lock the door and then go home, and only then did she go downstairs with Ye Mianmian.

Fan Yao, though she lived on the ninth floor, had recently become very close with someone on the twelfth floor.

The sound was so vivid, it didn’t seem like it was coming from that far away.

If it really was the twelfth floor, then the people inside were not easy to deal with.

Zhang Kaiyang and Fan Qing, holding a grudge against her, feared that suddenly going down might be dangerous.

It turned out to be the twelfth floor. When Jhiang Yuan arrived, Song Yi and Liang Kang were already moving toward the staircase leading to the thirteenth floor.

Not going down, they must be safe.

Zhang Kaiyang and Fan Qing were also standing below, watching three people fight in the hallway.

Though it was called a fight, it was clearly two people beating up one.

The one being beaten was none other than Li Tianyu.

Damn, how did this guy get up here, could he have discovered Fan Yao’s behavior and felt displeased?

How could this get any more melodramatic, it’s so awkward.

Ye Mianmian also felt it was unbelievable and was too embarrassed to speak, only signaling to Jhiang Yuan with her eyes.

Old Wu, seeing everyone from upstairs had come down, finally spoke up.

"Enough, stop fighting, before someone gets killed."

The two young men reluctantly stopped, and Li Tianyu’s condition was not good.

Curling up on the ground, he couldn’t even speak, and he was spitting blood.

"Heh, several kids over such a trivial matter of feelings..."

Old Wu even explained to them, with Fan Yao crying at the side.

Seeing Li Tianyu, she probably felt some pity too.

"Tianyu, stop pursuing me, it’s impossible between us, why can’t you understand that!"

Although Li Tianyu was severely beaten, his eyes were full of resentment.

One of the young men saw it, and went up to give him another kick.

Aimed right at the stomach, the pain made the man curl up even more.

"Keep looking, and I’ll gouge out your eyeballs..."

Li Tianyu naturally did not dare continue, instead, his gaze turned to Fan Qing next to him...

Helplessness, grievance, suffering...

Fan Qing was startled and quickly clung to Zhang Kaiyang’s arm, asserting her position.

Apparently, Fan Yao had not returned home last night, and Li Tianyu’s cold had gotten much better.

Worried, he came looking for her.

Unexpectedly, he was told that Fan Yao was someone else’s girlfriend, which made him feel like he was wearing a green hat.

Caught in the heat of the moment, he shouted loudly for Fan Yao to come out...

The people of 1202, they aren’t to be easily provoked; they directly cornered him in the hallway and beat him up.

Now that the truth was out, they no longer cared; Zhang Kaiyang was worried about his apartment, but now was not the time to worry about it.

Old Wu still wanted to explain a bit more, but Song Yi immediately interrupted him with a gesture.

He then shut his mouth, realizing that these people genuinely did not care.

Even if Li Tianyu wasn’t dead, he was left with half a life, and the way Fan Yao handled this was not pretty.

But, these issues had nothing to do with them anymore.

There was still work to do on the twentieth floor, and Song Yi did not want Jhiang Yuan to help; Jhiang Xingzhi being there was enough.

With that being the case, she did not insist, lest she accidentally infect everyone, turning her into a sinner.
