Chapter 235: Chapter 235: Ye Mianmian’s Little Cleverness

The man suddenly blocked their way, and Jhiang Yuan immediately became alert.

"No need to bother, we can carry these items back ourselves. Thanks for today!"

She forced a laugh, truly not wanting to make everyone look bad in front of so many people.

"It’s nothing, we aren’t busy anyway. By the way, are you three a family?"

Ah, he was starting to probe for their information.

"Yes, we are a family. If there’s nothing else, we’ll be going now."

Ye Mianmian and Fan Qing also picked up the water buckets.

It’s not wise to stay here for long, better to leave quickly.

"Miss, we’ll need to come down for ice tomorrow. You probably won’t have enough either, join us then."

"Okay, thank you very much."

It seemed that these people still had reservations, looking to bait a bigger catch.

Jhiang Yuan knew that there definitely wouldn’t be any problems today.

Looking ahead, there were indeed other figures, likely from the buildings ahead.

Now, everyone in the community knew about this, it must be true.

Jhiang Yuan wanted to leave, when another boy suddenly stepped forward.

"Miss, why don’t you come up with us? Brother will treat you to instant noodles."

Oh, the allure of instant noodles wasn’t small.

However, she hated instant noodles the most.

In her last life, it was because of instant noodles that her life became unbearable.

"Hehe, keep them to eat yourself!"

"What, after we helped you and you won’t even give us face?"

Jhiang Yuan squinted her eyes, as Ye Mianmian had already come over and pushed him aside.

The ground was icy, and the man, losing his balance, fell straight down.

"My C..."

The man exclaimed, obviously angry.

"Oh, sorry, sorry, I didn’t mean it. I was in a hurry and accidentally slipped and bumped into you, sorry..."

"Can’t you watch out? Really..."

Though the man was angry, he was ultimately helpless.

There were plenty of people around, and with the active apology, could he really hold a grudge?

Jhiang Yuan gave Ye Mianmian an approving look and quickly stood beside her.

Fan Qing, who had been near the edge, quickly reached out to pull both of them.

"We’ll be leaving now then!"

After saying this, without looking back, they left with the water buckets.

Song Yi and others saw them and Jhiang Yuan gestured to go ahead first.

"My goodness, that scared me to death. Lucky, Sister Mianmian reacted quickly."

Fan Qing, still frightened, patted his chest, feeling a sense of relief from the narrow escape.

"Let’s go up and talk!"

"Mhm!"

Once Jhiang Yuan spoke, the group began climbing the stairs. By the time they reached the fifteenth floor, Song Yi and the others had caught up.

"Let me take that!"

Without asking, he took the water bucket from Jhiang Yuan’s hands.

The other two boys followed suit.

By the twentieth floor, Zhang Kaiyang and his friends headed home, then gathered upstairs afterwards.

Song Yi’s home always had the electric heater on, as Little One was there alone and it couldn’t be too cold.

Jhiang Yuan also needed to go clean up a bit; the snow was too heavy and the plastic bag couldn’t save it.

Not to mention, a lot of snow had fallen on her, which she shook off later, but still needed to deal with the damp patches.

Upon seeing his daughter return, Jhiang Xingzhi hurried over to inquire about the details.

"What are you worried about? Look how cold our girl has gotten. Go, get a cup of hot water."

"Yes, I’m on it."

"It’s okay, Mom, I’m going to change my clothes first. Where is Xiao Nuan?"

"She’s asleep, try to be quiet when you go over."

"Okay!"

After changing her shoes in the entryway and switching her clothes, Jhiang Yuan had a large cup of honey water and finally felt better.

"You didn’t come home for lunch. Are you hungry? Shall I make you some noodles?"

"No need, Mom, let’s eat together in the evening."

Seeing this, Jhiang Xingzhi hurriedly brought over some small fish snacks, beef jerky, and konjac snacks.

"My girl, if you’re not eating a meal, snack on these to tide you over until your mom makes you something delicious in the evening."

She, in fact, didn’t refuse.

"Right, I noticed you came down without Xiao Song and the others?"

"Yes!"

Jhiang Yuan also told them about the situation downstairs, omitting the part where those two men gave them a hard time.

The two of them felt reassured now, knowing the cause and consequence of earlier.

"Alright, I’m off to the neighbors’ to discuss something. We’ll talk later."

Jhiang Yuan immediately left the house, her mouth still savoring the bliss of the two pieces of beef jerky she had eaten.

When she reached room 2102, all the others were already there.

She lived the closest yet was the last to arrive, a touch of embarrassment floated by.

"Let’s talk about what we discovered today!"

Song Yi didn’t beat around the bush and didn’t point out the fact that they also went out.

Both girls looked expectantly at Jhiang Yuan, clearly waiting for her to summarize.

"Let me share then, this is what my dad observed today, have a look."

Song Yi took it, glanced at the numbers, timings, and specific situations noted, quite seriously.

"We were thinking today, everyone going out to collect ice seemed a bit bizarre.

It’s only been a few days, yet it seems like everyone already knew about it, which reminded us of what Sun Yian mentioned earlier about the connection between the building supervisors."

The men were all silent, intently watching her.

"I think they must be spreading information through some medium, like maybe drones."

Zhang Kaiyang was initially hesitant, but upon hearing this, he immediately felt enlightened.

"Hmm, so you went down to gather information?"

No wonder Song Yi is considered a leader, always able to grasp the main points.

"Exactly, we went down and found that the people in building 12 also heard about it from a neighbor.

This ’neighbor’, could very likely be a surviving supervisor, or someone related to a supervisor.

We worry about this issue because it means all our actions could be closely monitored.

If that’s the case, it’s extremely unsafe for us."

It was like a dish left with only remnants scattered everywhere.

But in the middle, there was a chunk of fat meat, bound to be targeted sooner or later.

"Yes, but, there shouldn’t be that many people in the other buildings, right? Even if they use drones to pass messages, we haven’t encountered one yet!"

Zhang Kaiyang found it hard to believe, and without any clues, he was somewhat reluctant to believe it.

"Drones are just an example, it could be other mediums as well."

"As for inside the community, there’s definitely a network of information we’re unaware of.

Think about it, that day, we didn’t talk to many people.

Yet in only a few days, the news that ice water is not potable is known by everyone.

Just now I also saw people gathering ice in front of building 9, this is definitely not an isolated case."

Jhiang Yuan’s expression was very serious, not a hint of joking.

"My goodness, doesn’t that mean we are in great danger, being watched all the time..."
