Chapter 242: Chapter 242: Who is the Undercover?
"There’s also that possibility; at the very least, there would be seven people."
At that time, he wanted to check their other items as well.
For instance, toiletries, the basins they used; the number of sets would indicate how many people there were.
But if it was the situation Zhang Kaiyang mentioned, it would be impossible to get an accurate count.
Luckily, they had a rough idea of the number of people, which was close enough.
"It doesn’t affect our plans much, roughly seven or eight people..."
Comparatively, their group wasn’t small either.
There were four men, five women, two kids, and a dog.
"Brother Song, what should we do then, how should we proceed?"
Song Yi shook his head, he didn’t have a perfect plan yet.
Although they had more people on their side, their overall strength was less than that of the people on the eighth floor.
If they were to confront them directly, there would likely be injuries.
If they acted separately, they were afraid there wouldn’t be an appropriate opportunity.
"The people on the eighth floor are very cautious, we can’t just wait to be defeated."
Jhiang Yuan’s thought was simple; today Fan Qing’s acting was indeed not bad, but it wasn’t difficult to overpower them either.
If they were preempted by the others, they might be attacked first.
"Jhiang Yuan is right, we need to watch them closely these next few days, day and night.
The moment the people from the eighth floor move, our opportunity will come."
"Yes, if they go out these next few days, we can relax a bit. If that group comes over together,
It would be tough on our side, but dividing and conquering is the best strategy."
Today, Jhiang Yuan had gone in to see.
Among them, Old Xu was the oldest.
The rest were young and strong lads; not to mention anything else, they had strength.
Moreover, if they were really transport crew, dealing with loading and unloading would be part of their routine.
Their physical strength was definitely not on the same level as the average person.
"Alright, no problem. The snow has lessened these past two days, and they’ll probably start to move."
Ye Mianmian noted during her shift yesterday that several people had gone down, possibly including those from the eighth floor.
At the very least, they would need to get ice for daily use.
With so many people, their water usage wouldn’t be small.
Liang Kang also thought it was feasible, but there was still a pressing issue that needed resolving.
"In this building, it’s not just the eighth floor that’s occupied. How do we distinguish the rest of the people?"
"It won’t affect us."
Jhiang Yuan had guessed that someone would have this doubt.
Now to go out, everyone would prefer to wear ten layers of clothing, only exposing their eyes.
"As long as someone goes down, we’ll make our move. Now the twelfth floor is empty.
Apart from our four families, only 1501, 0802, and the big sister from 1301 are left.
No need to say much, just do it."
The others nodded in agreement.
In a life-preserving moment, it’s better to err on the side of action than let anyone slip through."
"Fan Yao is also acting strange, I don’t know if she doesn’t want to open the door or has run out again.
What could she be up to, not properly staying on the twelfth floor?"
Ye Mianmian thought that if she had gone along today, the result might have been better.
At this, Fan Qing also appeared tense.
"There’s also a possibility that she’s dead."
The rest of them turned their gaze towards her simultaneously.
This young lady really was quiet until she said something shocking.
But it really was hard to say; on such a cold day, that person being lazy, always thinking about exploiting others.
"If they never come out, what do we do?"
Zhang Kaiyang asked this question, but Song Yi looked towards Jhiang Yuan.
"Then we take action the day after tomorrow!"
She instantly understood the deeper meaning; if there was a snitch among them, this probe would reveal who it was.
"I agree."
"I agree too!"
"We have no issues here either...."
After Jhiang Yuan finished speaking, the rest of them echoed her sentiment, and then they went home to carefully keep watch.
She walked last, ensuring everyone had left, then she came back.
"You spoke like that just now because you also suspect that there are informers among us."
"It’s not suspicion, it’s that there’s no need for absolute trust.
Jhiang Yuan, at times like this, I trust no one, except for you."
Uh....
It was indeed a surprise to be so favored; he actually trusted her.
"Why aren’t you afraid that I might deceive you?"
Song Yi suddenly smiled lightly, his usual cold demeanor thawing a bit.
"Savor it as a sweet...."
"Hehe, then you better be careful.
Okay, there’s nothing else, I’m leaving first."
Jhiang Yuan didn’t want to bother with this person anymore; talking to him felt strangely awkward.
However, the situation on the eighth floor was still quite tricky; she needed to quickly inform Jhiang Xingzhi and Qin Yue.
Whether they were on duty or not, they should carefully observe the situation whenever they had the chance.
Knowing yourself is more reliable than trusting others.
Song Yi was right, nobody is trustworthy.
Unless there’s a common interest, unity is absolutely impossible.
Once she figured this out, everything appeared clear.
As for what Song Yi had just said, just consider it a momentary lapse.
After all, he was someone who would do this occasionally, and she had gotten used to it.
She had prepared quite a lot of vegetables yesterday, planning to make a dry pot shrimp dish for dinner tonight.
Using individual pots would be just fine, it would make the meal more lively when everyone ate together.
She didn’t let Qin Yue do the cooking; instead, she went up to the attic herself and took a bag of shrimps from the fridge.
These had been bought before, and were already cleaned; one bag was just enough for one meal.
Rock hard, she first thawed them in water.
This dish didn’t need too many side dishes; the cauliflower was taken from Overbearing Boss’s fridge, she grew some herself too, but it wasn’t the season to harvest yet.
The little bumps were just starting to sprout and still needed time.
But they were growing more than twice as fast as ordinary vegetables.
The dish also needed celery and potato strips, both of which were readily available at home.
But the celery must be from her space, nice and plump.
While no one was looking, Jhiang Yuan also took out some water spinach and baby mustard greens, all previously washed.
Now just directly blanch them, and place them at the bottom.
The cauliflower needed to be fried a bit, and then start heating oil in the pot, stir-fry the seasonings, and cook the shrimp.
Before long, a big pot of appetizing spicy shrimp was ready.
She didn’t dare add too much spice, for fear of it being overheating.
She also dished some out for Xiao Nuan in advance, all without any pepper.
The family joyfully sat down at the dining table for lunch.
Though it was called lunch, it was already two in the afternoon.
Lately, they’d been waking up late, and their meals were irregular.
Looking forward, they still needed to adjust their daily routine, Qin Yue enjoyed the meal greatly.
"Why do I feel like the food my daughter makes is so delicious, the vegetables are much softer."
"Haha, Mom, I’ll take that as a compliment.
By the way, Xiao Ling came over today to tutor Xiao Nuan; did you give her the stuff?"
Jhiang Yuan laughed it off, trying to change the subject.
"What stuff, you mean the brown sugar? Didn’t I give it to her yesterday?"
"Oh my, I’m all confused, these days..."
