Ruan Ning bent down to observe the place where the stone slab was connected to the table. She felt that no matter what kind of glue remover she used, she couldn’t separate them.
At this time, a shrill scream suddenly came from downstairs.
One cry was more miserable than the last.
Ruan Ning was stunned: “System, what’s going on?”
The system said: [Host, it’s the original fifth-floor residents who live on the 16th floor. Their food was robbed.]
Ruan Ning: “Explain it clearly.”
[It was robbed by the members of the Self-Help Association. They said that they wanted to recruit the residents of the fifth floor into the Self-Help Association on the condition that they hand over all their food.]
Ruan Ning frowned. Didn’t Qin Ruide ask her to borrow a boat just now?
Were they really reluctant to part with the gold?
The system said: [Qin Ruide has been silenced by Wu Jin.]
Ruan Ning’s heart was in shock: “It’s worthy of being a male supporting character. Isn’t this too fast? Why did he want to kill Qin Ruide?”
The system said: [His initial setting is perverted, power-hungry, likes to attract other people’s attention, and has a complex of controlling everyone.]
Ruan Ning clicked her tongue.
There was a knock at the door, and Cheng Jili’s voice came: “Ning Ning, it’s us.”
Ruan Ning went over to open the three doors.
Cheng Jili hurried in, looking panicked, and said: “What’s going on? Why is it so scary downstairs?”
Ruan Ning didn’t say anything.
Cheng Jikuan said: “Maybe someone is starving and is grabbing food.”
Cheng Jili’s expression froze: “Is that so?”
She sighed and said in a low tone: “It still happened.”
The three of them didn’t speak for a while.
Cheng Jikuan suddenly said: “Starting tonight, we must be more vigilant and can’t sleep too deeply at night.”
Ruan Ning nodded.
The screams downstairs continued.
For a whole day, the screams came and went, impacting the rationality of the people in the whole building.
At night, the sounds of quarrels and fights finally stopped.
After taking a shower, Ruan Ning pulled the double-layer blackout curtains in the living room, turned on the night light, and took out the tablet.
Just as she was about to watch a TV series, she suddenly heard a noise from the balcony window as if someone was throwing pebbles at her security window.
Ruan Ning raised her eyebrows, put the tablet and night light into the space, lit the candle, and walked to the balcony window.
The curtains were lifted a little bit. The night outside was dark and the heavy rain was continuing.
Suddenly, there was a ‘bang’.
Ruan Ning confirmed that someone was using some unknown small object to smash the window. She first looked up and found nothing unusual.
Looking down, she saw a faint light on the window downstairs as if a cigarette was lit.
The other party should have discovered her and hurriedly knocked on the window of his house, making a series of inconspicuous knocking sounds on a rainy night.
Then, he kept moving the cigarette in his hand upwards as if hinting at something.
Ruan Ning thought about it and blew out the candle.
After waiting for about five minutes, she opened the door and came to the corridor.
Sure enough, there was someone waiting for her there. Ruan Ning lit the candle in her hand and found that it was an old man in his sixties.
He was not tall. He was probably thin, to begin with, and hunger made him look even more skinny. His back was slightly hunched, his eyelids drooped, and he exuded an aura of death.
Ruan Ning walked to the security door cautiously: “What do you want to talk to me about?”
The old man said excitedly: “Did Qin Ruide come to see you today?”
Ruan Ning knew what he was doing: “Yes.”
The old man became even more excited, leaning against the door and asking, “Did he ask you to borrow the boat? Did you lend it?”
