Chapter 436: Waiting by the Tree—And Caught One
Chapter 436: Waiting by the Tree—And Caught One
"Damn rich people."Even kind-hearted Jiang Ran was forced to curse.
Jiang Ran felt his current life wasn't even as good as a dog raised by a wealthy person.
However, he didn't throw away his boxed meal. Instead, he quickly finished eating it clean.
After all, there was likely going to be a big fight around midnight.
He couldn't go into it on an empty stomach.
After finishing his meal, Jiang Ran walked around inside his apartment to aid digestion.
A little past 9 PM, he arrived early at the two sisters' home.
The two sisters were also very polite to him.
They brought him pastries and tea.
While eating these pastries and drinking the tea, Jiang Ran's mind couldn't help but recall how, back then, the tea Qin Kelian gave him had contained sedative.
And then the System had neutralized it for him.
This time, it was just normal pastries and tea.
And the taste was quite good.
"Huh, Kelian, this cup of tea you gave me, why does it taste a bit like iced black tea to me?"
Qin Yi was taking a shower at this time, and Qin Kelian was sitting right beside Jiang Ran.
Her fingers twirled the hair by her ear as she watched TV.
Hearing Jiang Ran's question, she said, "It is iced black tea. I remember you told me before that you liked drinking it, didn't you?"
Qin Kelian's two long, fair legs were crossed, which was simply too eye-catching.
Jiang Ran glanced at them, feeling a bit too embarrassed to keep looking.
"Oh, it's thoughtful of you to remember what I said."
After Qin Yi finished her shower, it was Qin Kelian's turn to go wash up.
Qin Yi, fresh from the bath, was like a lotus flower emerging from water.
Her damp black hair clung tightly to her snow-white shoulders and back. For a moment, Jiang Ran's eyes simply couldn't look away.
Qin Yi noticed Jiang Ran's gaze. She smiled at him, not minding at all that he was staring.
Jiang Ran suddenly remembered that regarding these two sisters, he was quite familiar with Qin Kelian, but he hadn't really spoken much with Qin Yi.
Although Qin Yi always gave him a sweet smile whenever they met, Jiang Ran could sense that her personality leaned towards the colder side.
"By the way, Qin Yi, I want to ask you something."
Jiang Ran suddenly thought of something.
Qin Yi was using a hairdryer to dry her hair. A pleasant fragrance, carried by the airflow, drifted into the air on Jiang Ran's side.
"Oh, what is it?"
Jiang Ran asked, "You and your sister don't have boyfriends right now, do you? I don't think I've ever seen you bring a man home."
Qin Yi said, "My sister and I indeed don't have boyfriends."
"It's just too hard to find a boyfriend these days."
Hearing this, Jiang Ran laughed. "In this day and age, there are more men than women. And with conditions like yours and your sister's, it's hard for me to believe you have trouble finding boyfriends. Unless your requirements are particularly high."
Qin Yi said, "The requirements aren't particularly high either. We just hope the guy is physically healthy and exercises regularly. That way, the meat is firm and taut, making for very good ingredients."
It was unclear whether Qin Yi said this intentionally or by accident.
In any case, Jiang Ran's eyes widened upon hearing it. He turned his head away, pretending he didn't hear.
After all, his mind was constantly flashing with Danger Warning +9.
At this moment, Qin Kelian also finished her shower.
Two stunning beauties were now moving about in front of Jiang Ran.
If Jiang Ran lost his self-control for a moment, he'd probably pounce on them.
A little past 10 PM, the two sisters felt sleepy and went to bed.
Since Room 303 only had one bedroom, the two sisters naturally had to squeeze together on one bed.
Before going to sleep, Qin Kelian's pretty, charming face was less than a hand's breadth from Jiang Ran's face.
When she spoke, her breath was as fragrant as an orchid.
"Jiang Ran, my sister and I are going to sleep now. You absolutely must not sneak into our room, okay!"
"Also, remember to close the door properly when you go out to catch that person."
After the two sisters entered the bedroom.
Jiang Ran lay down on the sofa, closing his eyes to rest.
He also set an alarm on his phone to ensure he wouldn't actually sleep straight through until dawn.
Day 6 of the 29th Round.
1:00 AM. Lin Feng, living in Room 904, was awakened again.
When he woke up and checked his phone, he found that outside his door was still that person wearing a black robe and a white ghost-face mask.
From the fruit knife on the first day, the power drill on the second day, and the chainsaw on the third day.
This person wearing the white ghost-face mask was still holding a chainsaw on the fourth day.
However, the chainsaw on the fourth day, compared to the one from the third day.
Just from their appearance, one could tell they were not on the same level.
The materials and craftsmanship used for the fourth day's chainsaw were probably incomparable to the third day's.
If these two chainsaws were to clash, the third day's chainsaw would likely be snapped in half by the fourth day's.
But even this fourth day's chainsaw was still helpless against Lin Feng's metal security door.
Sparks flew everywhere, yet it couldn't cause any substantial damage.
This time, the White Ghost Face Mask Person only sawed for a little over ten minutes before leaving with the chainsaw.
2:00 AM.
In Room 303, Jiang Ran faintly heard a buzzing sound.
Lying down, he quickly sat up from the sofa, all intense drowsiness completely gone.
His eyes were wide open.
Next, he put on the black robe and donned that white ghost-face mask.
Holding the long-handled fire axe in his hand, this getup would surely scare anyone he encountered half to death if he wandered the streets late at night.
After preparing everything, Jiang Ran went to the security door.
He quietly opened a crack.
Pressing his ear close to the gap.
The moment the door opened, the previously unclear buzzing sound instantly became exceptionally clear.
"It's a chainsaw!"
Jiang Ran was all too familiar with that sound.
But even if it was a chainsaw, he had nothing to fear.
He opened the door, stepped out, and closed it behind him.
Because this series of actions was very light, and because Room 303 was quite far from Room 304.
The White Ghost Face Mask Person, who was intently using a red chainsaw to hack at the security door of Room 304, did not notice.
Jiang Ran, gripping the fire axe tightly with both hands, strode over.
Although he tried to muffle his footsteps, Jiang Ran was still discovered.
But he wasn't afraid, because the chainsaw opposite him was just a fairly ordinary, not particularly long chainsaw.
What surprised him greatly, however, was that the person opposite, upon seeing him, didn't show any signs of alertness or caution. Instead, they spoke up:
"You came too?"
It was a man's voice. From the sound, Jiang Ran guessed the man wasn't very old.
Jiang Ran thought to himself, you guys have gone crazy from watching that movie.
That movie featured two white ghost-face mask people, who were accomplices.
It seems that's the case here too.
Jiang Ran walked closer. He didn't answer the other's question. With the axe head on the left, the horizontally held fire axe swung sideways, chopping towards the person opposite.
Jiang Ran wasn't afraid of injuring the other person, as he could be considered acting in self-defense.
This axe swing did not hit its target.
The White Ghost Face Mask Person reacted very quickly.
He dodged backward, avoiding it.
After dodging, he roared at Jiang Ran, "Are you crazy?!"
Jiang Ran remained silent, continuing to swing the fire axe, hacking towards the person in front of him.
The White Ghost Face Mask Person seemed to get angry. He pulled the starter cord of the chainsaw.
The chainsaw and Jiang Ran's powerful, heavy axe swing collided violently.
Metal against metal, sparks flew in all directions.
