Chapter 226: Chapter 226 Offering Affection Without Cause
As for what she was plotting, Fan Yao had no real value.
It was simply an attempt to infiltrate the inner circle of the top floor through her.
Now that I think about it, the recent events have been very telling.
"That being said, she must be in great danger now since she’s lost her value to them."
Ye Mianmian said this on purpose while also glancing at Fan Qing’s expression.
"She deserves it, who asked her to degrade herself.
She has always thought she was too beautiful to touch, now let her taste the hardships of the world."
However, the cost was too great.
"She’s not entirely without value; there are still three men left in that house."
Liang Kang had been silent, but once he spoke, his words were shockingly blunt.
However, everyone understood what he meant.
Fan Yao, oh Fan Yao, you’ve really gotten yourself into a mess this time.
"Alright, let’s talk about specifics tomorrow.
Be extra vigilant tonight and don’t sleep too soundly.
If anything happens, notify everyone immediately."
Song Yi said this, and everyone nodded.
"Here’s an idea, I’ll wake up every two hours tonight to check on things outside.
You all sleep easy; if there’s a problem, I’ll alert you."
Zhang Kaiyang’s suggestion, naturally, was a good one; having someone on watch could help detect many things.
Liang Kang felt it was a bit much and so he discussed it with him.
"Two hours might be too long of an interval.
How about this, we take turns on watch, still two hours, but with an extra person, it’s like someone is on lookout every hour."
"Okay, Brother Liang, let’s do it that way—odd numbers I’ll wake up, even numbers you wake up, is that okay?"
"No problem!"
After the two had agreed, the rest of the group felt at ease.
Song Yi announced that the next day they would take turns keeping watch on the twenty-first floor and then led everyone upstairs.
What the specific situation would be tomorrow was still unknown.
Upon reaching the entrance, everyone headed home.
It was getting late, and after a day of physical labor, Jhiang Yuan was exhausted.
"Darling, are you back?"
"Hmm, why are you still awake, Mom?"
"I can’t rest until you’re home. Xiao Nuan is in the room; you should go back quick."
"Alright!"
Whenever she had evening obligations, Qin Yue would come over to stay with Xiao Nuan, or the child would be taken to her parents’ room.
In any case, they never left their daughter alone.
Jhiang Yuan felt reassured and no longer worried about her daughter, no matter what she had to do.
After a good night’s sleep, there were no issues outside.
The next day, the heavy snow continued, and Jhiang Xingzhi got up early to head to the rooftop.
He worried that if the snow piled up too much, it would be a hassle to clear later.
By nine-thirty, the area below had become lively.
Jhiang Yuan watched from the window; several people were at the site where they had collected ice the day before.
They were continuing to dig through the path they had initially cleared.
Well, at least it made the task a lot easier for everyone.
Moreover, with so many inquiries the day before, it likely became known among the neighboring buildings that the snow water was not safe to consume.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t all be collecting ice.
After getting dressed, she left the house, as they still had to discuss how to deal with the people from 1202.
This time, they gathered in 2102, and she brought Xiao Nuan along while Jingjing came over as well.
Jingjing was feeling much better, and the two kids played together.
Seeing that Song Yi’s home was crowded, Jhiang Yuan sent the children next door and asked Qin Yue to keep an eye on them.
The house had plenty of toys, all of which had been Xiao Nuan’s before, as well as others she had gathered later on.
When she came back, she also brought two large bottles of cola, using Song Yi’s liquefied gas to boil it for everyone to drink...
"Look, isn’t that the person from 1202?"
Zhang Kaiyang had been watching from the window the whole time. Song Yi was originally helping Jhiang Yuan, but when he heard this, he quickly came over and picked up the high-powered binoculars nearby.
"Indeed..."
It was Xiao Long, the one who teased Fan Yao.
He was talking to someone and even started working physically.
"Did they go out to fetch ice too? They’re at the same spot as us yesterday."
Zhang Kaiyang was somewhat angry, thinking they really should have filled that spot in to stop giving these bastards an advantage.
"That’s not right!"
Song Yi looked over and over, scrutinizing every single person below...
"What’s the matter?"
When he saw Song Yi put down the binoculars, Jhiang Yuan asked anxiously.
"Only Xiao Long from 1202 went down, and I haven’t seen the person in front of him before."
"What?"
Jhiang Yuan didn’t understand and took the binoculars to observe for a while herself.
Now, they had two pairs of binoculars, and Ye Mianmian also took the ones from Zhang Kaiyang to watch the situation below.
Xiao Long was clearly helping, assisting someone who was a stranger to them...
"Look, they’re leaving, heading towards Building 12."
Building 12, next door, was very convenient to get to from here.
The people from Buildings 9, 10, and 11 had each dug a hole in front of their buildings.
There were no passages connecting them to their side, nor were there any footprints coming over.
"No good deed goes unpunished, they’re either scheming or thieving..."
Song Yi’s eyes darkened as he murmured to himself, "Tonight, someone’s likely to suffer."
Xiao Long was far from being respectful to the elderly, loving to the young, diligent, or kind.
If he was helping someone out, it was definitely for a reason.
Taking into account previous events, what could he be after but food and drink?
If he had his eye on this person and had now gone to their place, it meant his scouting had been successful.
"Song Yi, should we help out?"
Zhang Kaiyang felt that such a bad person, since they committed evil deeds, should be punished.
But Song Yi actually shook his head.
Seeing this, Jhiang Yuan quickly came over to argue with him.
"Kaiyang, we can’t handle this kind of thing.
Moreover, if there really is a danger, if we go there, wouldn’t we also be putting our safety at risk?"
Ye Mianmian quickly took over the conversation, clearly understanding the situation.
"We’re not saviors, especially under these circumstances, we need to be more vigilant.
You can save him once, but you can’t save him over and over again. Besides, it’s all our speculation right now, don’t overthink it."
"Yes!"
He now felt he might have been talking too much when he himself was still a question mark.
If everybody started fighting and more people died, leaving fewer survivors,
Comparatively, they would be much safer.
As twisted as it might seem, what other options did they have at this juncture?
Not engaging in active hunting was already considered merciful.
"We definitely need to deal with the people from Building 12.
Tonight, they’ll probably take action, so we might as well lie in wait..."
Song Yi’s suggestion was essentially the final decision.
No specific, feasible plan came out of the discussion.
However, they had to go at night; it was a rare opportunity.
Everyone went back to their homes to rest up, as there was a tough fight ahead of them tonight!
