Chapter 454: Zhou Yan Gives Up and Plans to Return to the U.S.
Zhou Yan asked Jimmy, "Jimmy, can you find any other detectives?"Jimmy put down his chopsticks and said, "I can find them, but as this uncle said, it's a waste of effort."
"And, you heard what this uncle said, right?"
"Obviously, that apartment is no ordinary apartment. It definitely hides something."
"Think about it, why did Mike terminate the commission?"
"What about the Three Tigers Detective Group? They found the killer of your brother, so why didn't they dare continue either?"
"We didn't know what dangers were inside before, but after hearing about this today, I think finding more detectives to go in won't be of any use."
Li Miguo also tried to persuade his girlfriend, "Jimmy is right."
"Xiao Yan, let's end things here!"
"Your father in heaven is already very satisfied seeing all the things we've done for him."
"As a daughter, you've done everything you should. For the rest, just do your best and leave the rest to fate."
Li Miguo and Jimmy had accompanied Zhou Yan to Hua Country for so long.
They also wanted to return to America.
More importantly, they, along with Zhou Yan, had been on leave for too long and had already fallen behind significantly in their university courses.
Zhou Yan let out a deep sigh. Her whole body went limp like a pile of mud, slumping into the chair.
A sense of powerlessness washed over her entire being.
She said, "Alright, perhaps what you're saying is right."
"I've already tried my best."
"Perhaps this is just the fate destined for my father and my brother."
...
For lunch, Jiang Ran ate a bowl of cold skin noodles.
While eating the cold skin, he was thinking: after he accumulates 50 million points and leaves the apartment, there's a three-year waiting period before he can sell the house. During that time, should he rent the place out?
If he rents it out, he can collect a decent amount of rent every month.
But this apartment is so dangerous;the tenants might...
If he doesn't rent it out, the house sits empty and doesn't create any value.
This involves the question of whether to make money with a black heart.
With a black heart, you can make money.
If you want a conscience, you can't make money.
After finishing lunch.
Jiang Ran took a nap. Not long after waking up, he received a call from the manager, Mao Li Zhishu, asking him to come to the first-floor management office, as the Building No. 2 manager had arrived.
The Building No. 2 manager was beyond Jiang Ran's expectations.
She was actually a woman.
She looked to be in her forties.
Her figure was neither fat nor thin.
Her looks were ordinary.
But her clothing and style were very fashionable, chasing the trends.
Her name was Wu Meiling.
She asked both Jiang Ran and Manager Mao Li Zhishu to call her Big Sister Wu.
Because both of them were younger than her.
After the three of them met.
Jiang Ran asked Manager Mao Li Zhishu to explain the incident with the White Ghost Face Mask Person from this morning to Manager Wu Meiling.
To discuss how to resolve this matter.
After listening, Manager Wu Meiling didn't have much of a reaction, as if such a thing was nothing in her eyes.
She said, "This is a matter for your Building No. 1. I am the manager of Building No. 2 and do not involve myself in the internal affairs of Building No. 1. So, this matter is still for the two of you to decide yourselves!"
With that, she left Building No. 1 with a smile and headed towards Building No. 2.
Jiang Ran felt this new manager was also unreliable. The key point was, what she said made perfect sense.
So, regarding this issue, he looked at Manager Mao Li Zhishu again.
Manager Mao Li Zhishu's previous excuse was to wait for the Building No. 2 manager to arrive in the afternoon so they could discuss and handle it together.
And now?
She's not dealing with this matter.
Seeing Jiang Ran's gaze, Manager Mao Li Zhishu asked him, "Tell me your suggestion. How should we handle this matter?"
Jiang Ran said, "It's simple. Fire all the unqualified security guards in the apartment and replace them with a batch of security guards who dare to apprehend dangerous elements."
Manager Mao Li Zhishu said, "Alright, that's a good idea. But such a big matter is beyond my authority. I need to report your suggestion to my superiors and let them decide."
Afterwards, Manager Mao Li Zhishu patted Jiang Ran on the shoulder, telling him not to worry.
Jiang Ran thought to himself: Worry your ancestors.
He was certain that Manager Mao Li Zhishu definitely would not notify his superiors.
Later, when he asked him about it, he would use the excuse that the superiors hadn't made a decision yet.
Anyway, based on the incident a few days ago where Jiang Ran called him to bring the security team to arrest someone, Jiang Ran could already see his irresponsibility.
"Forget it, forget it. Anyway, once I save up 50 million points, I'll be leaving this apartment too. I won't bother with it anymore."
Jiang Ran felt hopeless about dealing with such matters.
Thinking that he would also leave once he saved up 50 million points, for the remaining time he stays in the apartment, whatever happens, happens!
Time passed quickly.
After that, the apartment didn't cause any more trouble.
Time continued until the 7th day of the 29th round.
Late at night, 23:55.
The Neighbors Over Distant Relatives live stream room currently had over 190,000 online viewers.
The live stream screen switched from the interior environment of Alice Apartment to that familiar studio.
Today's host was no longer the long-haired beautiful hostess.
Instead, it was another beautiful hostess with a very delicate and dignified appearance.
At the beginning, the delicate-looking hostess explained that the long-haired beautiful hostess had suddenly developed a fever, so she was taking over this hosting session.
"Now announcing the elimination status of the lab rats for the 29th round."
The delicate-looking hostess said:
"For the 29th round, eliminated lab rats: No. 2 Fang Xiao"
"No. 4 Liu Xiaogang."
"No. 6 Shangguan Fei."
"Surviving lab rats: No. 1 Jiang Ran, No. 3 Lin Feng &Wang Ziyi, No. 5 Huo Yun."
"The total betting amount for the 29th round is: 311.8 million."
"It will be divided among those who bet on these three lab rats."
"The 29th round ends here."
"The live stream room will close in half an hour. Please be prepared."
This delicate-looking hostess's hosting style was clean and efficient.
She really didn't say a single unnecessary word.
After hosting, the live stream screen immediately switched back to Alice Apartment.
Even so, the comment section of the live stream room continued to buzz with comments.
Fairy Sister: [Does anyone know how Fang Xiao is doing? Has he been discharged from the hospital? This new female hostess is so unprofessional;she didn't even tell us.]
Domineering Female CEO: [He hasn't been discharged yet. During his hospital stay, he stole alcohol to drink again. He's finished.]
For these people in the live stream room.
Investigating the usual situations of these lab rats is actually quite simple.
After all, they all know which city they are in.
I am the Hero: [My brother perfectly cleared this round. After clearing one final round, he can return to the live stream room.]
Middle-aged Uncle: [Congratulations, congratulations.]
Evil Wolf: [Popping the champagne at halftime? Your heart is too wicked.]
Middle-aged Uncle: [What are you saying? I sincerely wish him well.]
Domineering Female CEO: [For the Ultimate Rich Kid's final round, it definitely won't be so easy to pass.]
I Love Eating Shit: [Yes, the last rich second generation who had a similar experience to the Ultimate Rich Kid safely passed the first two rounds, but in the end, he also fell in the third round.]
[Looking at the Ultimate Rich Kid's first two rounds, he almost didn't encounter anything particularly dangerous.]
[Is there such a possibility?]
[Those deranged criminals, those deranged serial killers in the apartment who have had their eyes on him for a long time.]
[Haven't made a move yet, just to lower his guard?]
[Wait until the very last moment, then launch the attack?]
[One strike to take his life?]
