Chapter 487: The Final Showdown Between Old Man 301 and Jiang Ran
"I know, but I just feel everything is too much of a coincidence.""So they say, without coincidence there would be no story."
Li Hu frowned and downed his entire bottle of ice-cold Cola.
"Enough with 'without coincidence there would be no story.' Let me be blunt, even if Gu Bei was responsible for the deaths of our three classmates and everything that happened today, what could you do about it?"
Vice Monitor Yu Xiaobo raised one eyebrow higher than the other, shaking his head disdainfully.
Li Hu and Xia Long fell silent.
Yeah, what could they do about him?
Besides, it was all just speculation right now, with no evidence...
...
Jiang Ran and the other injured were sent to Nancheng City First People's Hospital.
Jiang Ran, Ah Jie, and Ah Jie's girlfriend—the three of them.
Ah Jie's injuries were the lightest, so he recovered the fastest.
Jiang Ran was next, followed by Ah Jie's girlfriend.
After various reconstructive surgeries on his scalp, arm, and chin, Jiang Ran lay in his hospital bed and soon regained consciousness.
Ah Jie's girlfriend, however, only regained consciousness a full week after her emergency surgery.
At least she didn't fall into the vortex of death.
Ah Jie was absolutely overjoyed about this.
As for Jiang Ran.
He had found one laundry machine card at the Castle Estate.
Plus the five small cards each that Class Monitor Gu Bei had promised everyone could draw.
Jiang Ran had Gu Bei draw his for him.
Gu Bei drew the following for Jiang Ran: a mobile phone, a refrigerator, a television, an induction cooker, and an electric bike.
The washing machine was worth over two thousand, the mobile phone over seven thousand, the television over three thousand, the induction cooker over one thousand, and the electric bike over four thousand.
They had all been delivered to Jiang Ran's home via package, with the manager Mao Li Zhishu opening the door to let them in.
Additionally, Jiang Ran received an extra 500,000 yuan in compensation for his injuries, making it a huge windfall for him.
...
It was now 11:00 in the morning.
The weather was a bit chilly, and people on the street displayed different clothing styles.
Some still wore summer short sleeves and shorts, while others had already secretly put on their autumn underclothes.
Some people, frighteningly frail, had even layered on thin cotton jackets.
Jiang Ran only stayed in the hospital for two days before being discharged.
After being discharged, he had white gauze wrapped around his scalp, left arm, and chin.
He looked like a major patient.
He hailed a rideshare from the hospital and returned to Alice Apartment.
Upon returning to Alice Apartment, the familiar sound of danger warnings continuously chimed +5 in his mind.
Wearing a smile, he passed through the facial recognition and entered.
Inside, he exchanged a glance with the two young security guards in the security guard booth.
The two young guards just looked at him once, then lowered their heads.
Probably still because of what he said back then.
These days, telling the truth often offends people; to please others, you have to tell lies, say flattering things.
Jiang Ran ignored them and glanced at Building No. 2, not far from the Building No. 1 apartment building.
Outside Building No. 2, there was a bunch of messy stuff that looked like luggage.
Several moving workers were carrying things inside.
It seemed residents were starting to move into Building No. 2.
Jiang Ran still paid no mind, passed through the glass automatic door of Building No. 1, and appeared in the first-floor lobby.
"Jiang Ran, are your injuries any better?"
Manager Mao Li Zhishu happened to be in the management office at that moment and saw Jiang Ran returning, so he asked with concern.
Jiang Ran smiled and nodded at him. "Much better."
Manager Mao Li Zhishu: "That's good. Oh, by the way, all your packages are in your living room. You can check when you get back to see if anything is missing or damaged."
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Manager Mao Li Zhishu.
Jiang Ran took the elevator to the third floor.
Arriving on the third floor, as he stepped out of the elevator and passed by room 301, the door to 301 suddenly opened, revealing the face of a little old man.
"Jiang Ran, could you help this old man with something?"
Turning his head, Jiang Ran stared at the Old Man in Room 301 living in 301, smiling and nodding. "No problem, Old Man."
"Hmm, thank you then."
The Old Man in Room 301 welcomed Jiang Ran inside.
Ever since finishing that bowl of Medicinal Soup, the Old Man in Room 301 felt his body had returned to its peak condition.
He was full of strength, with seemingly endless energy.
Therefore, he planned to kill Jiang Ran to resolve his own inner demons.
But, to be fully prepared, he waited for the right opportunity.
A few days ago, he went to the home of the Demoness sisters in 303.
Fortunately, he and these Demoness sisters had no conflicts or hatred since they started living on this floor.
So, he asked the Demoness sisters for detailed information about Jiang Ran, this lab rat.
After all, the number of lab rats he had killed was far fewer than what these Demoness sisters had killed.
The various privileges he obtained were naturally far less as well.
Every time he thought about this.
The Old Man in Room 301 felt like all the martial arts he practiced since childhood amounted to nothing?
These sisters, relying on their beauty, could easily take down one lustful lab rat after another.
Their efficiency was terrifyingly high.
While he, struggling through hardship and relying on his own skills to make a living, couldn't even manage to take down a single Jiang Ran.
However, what comforted him was that those Demoness sisters couldn't take down Jiang Ran either.
"Old Man, where do you need my help?"
The Old Man in Room 301 was reminiscing about the past when Jiang Ran interrupted him.
He didn't get angry and said, "Over by the bed in the bedroom."
The two then walked into the bedroom. The bedroom wasn't big and was somewhat messy.
Jiang Ran discovered that the bed in the Old Man in Room 301's bedroom had collapsed.
"I don't know how to fix beds either?"
Jiang Ran stared at the collapsed bed and turned his head to say.
"It's fine, you just need to help me move it out. This bed of mine can be disassembled. My daughter has already ordered a new bed for me."
The Old Man in Room 301 smiled, a smile he had only shown to a girl he liked in his youth.
Jiang Ran turned his head and bent down in front of the bed, starting to fiddle with it.
Meanwhile, the Old Man in Room 301 hunched over, leaning on his cane.
The cane was in his left hand, while his right hand reached behind his waist, feeling for an extremely sharp dagger that had been sharpened for who knows how long.
His plan was simple.
Confirm whether Jiang Ran was his usual personality.
This was the information the Demoness sisters gave him.
So Jiang Ran had something wrong with his brain. No wonder, a long time ago, the one who beat him up was completely different from the usual Jiang Ran, feeling like two different people.
One was very amiable, perfectly normal.
The other was sinister and crafty, and his own martial skills were quite impressive.
Therefore, this time, he judged that the Jiang Ran before him was the usual one.
And this time, he was going for a sneak attack, not like last time's open and fair fight.
Guaranteed to take him down and finish him!
"Goodbye, Jiang Ran. Although I think you're indeed a very good young man and wanted to betroth my granddaughter to you, unfortunately, my granddaughter died when she was ten."
"So now, I'll send you to reunite with my granddaughter! So you two can start a family down below!"
The Old Man in Room 301 pulled the dagger from behind his waist and thrust it fiercely toward Jiang Ran's lower back.
The dagger was two hand-widths away from his lower back.
But it was caught between the index and middle fingers of a large hand, unable to advance another inch.
