Chapter 243: Chapter 243: Attacking the People Downstairs

It wasn’t easy to steer the topic away, and Jhiang Yuan didn’t dare to say more.

Listening to Mom and Dad talk about the household’s food, clothing, and expenses, a sense of ordinary happiness spontaneously emerged.

She quickly finished her meal and then went to wait by the window.

The binoculars worked well. Despite the heavy snow, the view was very clear.

However, the direct distance was not good; she couldn’t see faces. Anyway, with so much clothing on, it was hard to distinguish who was who.

It was a busy time right now, and there were probably five or six groups of people below.

Mostly, they were from building number twelve, seeming to have come down in groups.

Being able to stay united at this time was not easy.

She watched, bored and even starting to feel sleepy.

Jhiang Xingzhi coming over to take her place was good; she could take it as a chance to relax.

"That’s not right, girl, isn’t that our people from downstairs heading out?"

"Where are they?"

Jhiang Yuan, who was stretching at the time, was instantly energized.

She had been watching for so long without seeing anything, but as soon as her father arrived, people went out.

What kind of godsend luck was this? It was the same last time.

Jhiang Xingzhi hurriedly passed her the binoculars, and sure enough, someone really was going out, and not just one person.

Wait a second, why did that group go straight into the crowd?

Then the next second, they actually started fighting.

She saw someone being knocked to the ground and then beaten.

It was definitely premeditated, not at all like an accidental fall.

"Dad, hurry up and call Song Yi over."

"Alright..."

Jhiang Xingzhi didn’t dare delay and ran to knock on the door.

Song Yi arrived almost within a minute and came straight to the balcony.

"Look, that group is looking for someone downstairs, then they followed them to the next building."

Just now, she had noticed something was off.

They not only attacked others, but the rest also followed them, heading in the direction of building number twelve.

It definitely wasn’t friendly, especially since the group’s ice-gathering tools were still lying where they were.

"It’s people from the eighth floor; they can’t sit still anymore.

How many went down just now?"

Song Yi had arrived late and did not see several people go next door; he had missed it.

"I think it was six, but as for whether there were more below, I’m not sure. I only saw six."

Jhiang Yuan told him everything she had seen. Logically, it should be at least seven people.

"The odds of them being in the house are slim. Could it be that one person went over in advance, like us, to scout the information, to explore the way?"

"I’m not sure, what’s happening with the people downstairs?"

Song Yi’s tone was very serious; it was people from the twentieth floor’s turn to be on duty today.

When they went down, Liang Kang said Xiao Ling could handle it by watching.

But now, with everyone below gone, it was a bit strange that there was no response from them.

To make things easier for them, Song Yi even lent them his own binoculars.

As he was pondering, a knock on the door sounded.

Jhiang Xingzhi didn’t let Qin Yue go to open the door and instead checked through the peephole before opening it.

Zhang Kaiyang rushed in, looking urgent, heading straight for the balcony, with Liang Kang following him in.

"Brother Song, you’re really here. I just knocked on your door and no one answered."

"What’s the matter?"

Song Yi didn’t look up and asked casually.

"Liang Kang said that the people downstairs suddenly disappeared."

"What exactly happened?"

Liang Kang felt a bit embarrassed at this moment.

"I just ate a mouthful of food, it was just the time it took to set down a bowl, and then the people vanished.

I thought they probably went back, but the ice and tools they were using, none of it got taken back.

If one person didn’t take them it’d be fine, but many were left scattered below."

Liang Kang spoke, growing anxious himself.

He felt that things were definitely not as simple as they appeared.

"Mm, I understand. Go and call everyone over to my place!"

"Okay!"

Liang Kang didn’t dare to delay and proactively went to notify everyone.

Zhang Kaiyang was somewhat bewildered, not sure what to do next.

Song Yi put down the binoculars, looking at Jhiang Yuan, his attitude also softened.

"Let’s go over together!"

"Okay..."

Jhiang Xingzhi thought it over and followed them as well.

He didn’t know what everyone was going to discuss, but the situation downstairs was too fishy, and he didn’t want to miss out on anything.

He really didn’t want Jhiang Yuan to bear so much pressure; he had to take on some of the responsibility.

Even when at the neighbor’s place, they still needed to keep an eye on the situation outside at all times.

By around four o’clock, when the weather was starting to darken, that group of people finally returned.

"Look, they’ve brought back goods just like the traders."

Jhiang Yuan, holding the binoculars, saw the situation quite clearly; it seemed they had taken quite a lot.

In addition to the supplies, there seemed to be bedding, clothes, and other items.

The group went upstairs and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

"Good heavens, they couldn’t have robbed all the people downstairs, could they?"

Ye Mianmian exclaimed in shock, unable to accept the blatant reality of the situation.

"Not only that, but there must have been trouble.

There were six of them when they left, but only five returned."

"No, there were six,"

Song Yi corrected Jhiang Yuan, leaving her stunned.

"Five, I counted."

The man set down the binoculars he was holding and spoke indifferently, "There’s a person in that blanket, the fourth one coming back was carrying them on his back, I saw the dangling legs."

Well, she really hadn’t noticed. Now that they had all returned, there was no way to verify it.

"Does that mean someone got injured?"

Fan Qing posed the question. If that was the case, it meant a conflict had occurred.

"Mm, most likely."

"I can’t believe it, the twelfth floor must have been bloodbathed by now. Those people, they’re too fierce."

Zhang Kaiyang hadn’t expected that before they could move against this group, the group had already struck first.

"The people on the eighth floor are too terrifying. What should we do? Should we move up our plan?"

Ye Mianmian was genuinely frightened, fearing that if they went crazy, everyone in the building would suffer.

"I think so."

Apart from anything else, Jhiang Yuan supported this.

Seeing her take a stance, Song Yi immediately stood up as well.

"We can, but there’s no need to rush. We must plan this thoroughly and ensure a swift and decisive victory."

All of them nodded in agreement.

A failed attempt at such a thing would bring endless trouble.

"Let’s wait for tonight, when they are sound asleep. After today’s big fight, those people are sure to be exhausted.

That’s the perfect time to catch them off guard."

Zhang Kaiyang spoke while making gestures, even miming the action of a karate chop.

The rest pondered over the feasibility of his proposal.

"Quick, come and look, they’re going out again."

"What?"

Jhiang Xingzhi called out, and everyone rushed over, but the curtain was only slightly parted.

Song Yi held a pair of binoculars, and another pair was handed to Jhiang Yuan by Jhiang Xingzhi.

The rest could do nothing but anxiously wait.

Jhiang Yuan saw from the window that indeed, there were people downstairs.

They were holding shovels and were actually clearing the snow.
