Chapter 42: Kill The Chicken To Warn The Monkey (2)
Sun Zhouping lowered his head in shame and gritted his teeth, "What do you want to do?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yao Ran didn't answer him but took out her mobile phone. She turned on the camera and took pictures of them one by one.
After she was done, she showed the photos to Sun Zhouping and said, "You all are working for the community office, right? You guys usually like to show your good personality and kind heart, but now you hide your face and commit crimes."
She sighed and added, "I wonder what the police would do if I showed them these pictures." As soon as she said this, the other men quickly begged her despite the pain in their bodies. "Miss Yao, please spare me! I won't dare anymore!"
"Yes, yes. It was Sun Zhouping who encouraged us to rob you!"
"Yes, we are just too hungry to think clearly! Please let us go!"
"That's right! It was he who told us that you have plenty of food and you live alone. He also said that we can keep you for a few days to relieve our boredom!"
Hearing this last sentence, Long Yu frowned slightly. He looked at Yao Ran and found that she still had a smile on her lips, as if she didn't care about these dirty words.
Yao Ran was too lazy to listen to their empty promises and excuses. Seeing Sun Zhouping's eyes flicker with cruelty for a second, she said, "You can call the police. Let's see who they will arrest first."
Knowing that he could not defeat the residents on the 20th floor, Sun Zhouping had no choice but to surrender.
"We have no choice. Miss Yao, we are forced to do this. You haven't lost anything. Can't you let us go?"
She rolled her eyes at him and asked, "You mean, as long as we don't lose anything, you are not wrong?"
Yao Ran glanced at those men, who were kneeling on the ground while begging, and then turned to look at Long Yu. "What do you think? What should we do with them?"
Long Yu glanced downstairs for a second and replied, "You can decide."
Seeing that Long Yu thinks the same way she does, Yao Ran looks at Zhou Ruilin. "Sister Zhou, what about you?"
Zhou Ruilin said, "I will follow your decision."
Since they had left her the decision-making power, Yao Ran turned to Sun Zhouping and said, "You are lucky that I'm in a good mood today, but you may not be able to save your life next time. Get out!"
There was a lot of noise on the 20th floor, but no one dared to open the door to take a look. Yao Ran flicked the blood off the dagger and walked upstairs. They didn't bother to clean up the blood on the floor and locked the two metal doors.
After watching Yao Ran and Long Yu fighting those men, Zhou Ruilin was curious and wanted to get to know her neighbors.
She looked at them with a smile and asked, "You two are really good at fighting. Have you two been police officers before?"
Yao Ran smiled and playfully replied, "You can guess, Sister Zhou."
Zhou Ruilin was curious at first, but she knew that Yao Ran didn't want to tell her, so she didn't continue asking questions.
She hugged her sick son and said, "Thank you, Miss Yao and Young Master Long, for tonight. Shu Shu is still sick, so I will go back first."
After Zhou Ruilin went back home with Chi Shu, Yao Ran waved to Long Yu and went home. After taking a shower, changing her clothes, and cleaning her dagger, she went back to sleep.
The warning effect that night was so strong that no one dared to knock on the stairs door for several days.
In the early morning, Yao Ran woke up and opened the curtains. The typhoon was still raging outside, roaring and slamming against the doors and windows, making people feel like the whole building was shaking.
The typhoon came early and lasted for fifteen days without any sign of disappearing. People's fears became a reality. Not only are natural disasters escalating, but people are also uncertain when they will end.
But life has to go on, and Yao Ran is doing a lot of training every day to level up her abilities and strengthen her body. The crops grown in the space, the planting room, and the balcony are all lush and green, making her feel comfortable just by looking at them.
Seeing the vegetables growing on the balcony, Yao Ran couldn't help but pick a handful of chicken feather vegetables, wash them, and use them to cook noodles. Tasting the crispy and sweet vegetables, Yao Ran's eyes turned into crescent moons.
Everything seems to be moving in the right direction. Taking care of the animals and crops in the space, exercising, reading books, watching videos, eating, and sleeping are all fulfilling activities.
Soon, Yao Ran developed the habit of getting up early to look at the rain outside. After listening to and watching the rain for so long, Yao Ran could feel the slightest change.
On the eighteenth day, the wind seemed a little different.
After Yao Ran took a shower in the space, she went to the balcony. The typhoon was still raging outside, and the wind seemed to have weakened a bit, but the rain was getting heavier.
The water has flooded the entire second floor and is now moving up to the third floor, causing chaos in the corridors.
Yao Ran had meat buns for breakfast today. She took a bite, and the aroma of meat and mushrooms spread in her mouth, teasing her taste buds. She makes a lot of steamed buns with various fillings and stores them in space, which could last her for a long time.
While eating the meat buns, Yao Ran poured herself a cup of warm soy milk. She was sitting on the sofa, enjoying her breakfast and reading a medical book.
