164: Sowing discord
"Ah!" Everyone present screamed in terror, fear, and tears. No one expected Luo Sen to kill someone right in front of them!
Si Nan said with a smile, "Does anyone still have an opinion now? Feel free to voice it."
Gu Jie felt a chill down his neck. He had just mentioned that his phone couldn't be used because it was out of battery, and Si Nan hadn't gotten angry—which was already giving him a lot of face. Fortunately, fortunately, he needed to be more careful in the future.
The Three Building Owners and the others present also dared not speak. This was the first time they had seen Si Nan lose her temper in public. Her words were sharp but very realistic.
She really didn't need to support them. This opportunity was only obtained by the three of them shamelessly begging. Something unpleasant must have happened; otherwise, their cooperation had been going well before, and she would never lose her temper for no reason.
Director Lin quickly asked, "What exactly happened? Did someone do something behind our backs? As long as you have irrefutable evidence, we will never tolerate it."
With him taking the lead, Ge Yue and Mao Xin also actively expressed their stance, "Yes, we are already extremely grateful. Every day we silently hope that you are safe while searching for supplies outside. If someone truly did something unspeakable to you, they must not be forgiven."
"Cannot be forgiven, absolutely cannot be forgiven." The others in Unit S also raised their hands high, showing support for Si Nan and Luo Sen.
Of course they had to support them; these two were their providers. Who was so clueless about reality that they dared to seek death? This was cutting off their livelihood, and they must be executed!
"Good, you all said it yourselves. The evidence is here; The Three Building Owners and everyone else, please see." Si Nan turned on her phone and showed them the captured video.
Several people in the crowd retreated.
"Trying to run?" Luo Sen intercepted them.
Seeing the people in the footage, Ge Yue's head buzzed with alarm, "You beasts! You deserve to die! You few, come over here! It's my fault for not disciplining them properly."
"Who?"
"What? It's you?"
"Are you three idiots? Si Nan already gives us two meals a day, and enough water to drink. Why did you still secretly climb over the wall into her house? What exactly do you want to do?"
"You're cutting off our livelihood! You all deserve to die."
"No wonder you three insisted on borrowing my family's aluminum alloy ladder. So you were going to do bad things! You deserve it!"
Everyone was in an uproar. Their livelihoods were at stake, so they united against the three young people, cursing them.
The three were unconvinced. The one in the Red Down Jacket immediately started cursing, "Look at all of you, so useless! She did give us food, but it's all leftovers and junk food that they don't like.
What kind of lavish meals did she eat during the live broadcast? Are you all blind? Or have you all gotten Alzheimer's and forgotten everything?
We just wanted to go to her house to see if she was hoarding all the good stuff for herself and only giving us junk food."
The one in the Green Cotton Jacket added, "Yeah, we're doing this for everyone's good!"
The one in the Black Jacket pointed at Si Nan and continued to brainwash everyone, "Guess what I saw? I saw a lot of wood piled up in her yard's carport, and also a water well.
Think about it, we're almost freezing and dying of thirst, so why doesn't she bring out the wood for us to cook or keep warm? The water in the well can't be used up, yet she's so stingy that she won't even open the yard gate to let us use the well.
And you're still grateful to her? Come on, this is charity, treating all of us like beggars to play with. It's obvious that her house has always had electricity, isn't it?"
Such sharp incitement caused many people to feel unbalanced. Their homes truly had no electricity, no water, and they couldn't keep warm. They suffered from hunger, cold, lack of drinking water, and couldn't even bathe.
But what about Si Nan's house?
She had everything!
Endless electricity, endless freshly cooked hot meals, endless clean water. These were exactly the opposite of their actual situation, a world of difference—this was a fact!
It would be a lie to say no one was tempted!
Everyone looked at Si Nan.
"Hahahaha—" Si Nan suddenly burst into laughter, laughing heartily without any intention of stopping, tears almost coming out from her eyes.
"Nan Nan? I'll kill all three of them." Luo Sen was heartbroken and filled with murderous intent.
However, Si Nan tightly held his hand, preventing him from moving.
Yet, her laughter suddenly sent alarm bells ringing in the hearts of Director Lin, Ge Yue, and Mao Xin. They felt a chill down their spines, knowing something was wrong!
The three simultaneously reprimanded the other three, "Shut up! Don't even think about sowing discord!"
"You yourselves made a big mistake, and instead of repenting and apologizing to Si Nan, you're being glib, rambling, and trying to incite everyone present."
Ge Yue, emotionally agitated, got up from the door panel and, supported, limped towards Si Nan, "Sister Nan, please don't laugh anymore. It's all my fault; I didn't manage the people in my unit building well. Since these three are unrepentant, you can deal with them however you like.
Those two who died deserved it; they brought it upon themselves."
"Hahaha, no need. From now on, none of you have anything to do with me. Luo Sen, Gu Jie, let's go." Si Nan couldn't be bothered to say another word to these people. Her smile vanished, and she decisively turned and left.
This was terrible; all their food was gone!
"Ah, you can't leave!"
"Let's talk this over, let's talk this over properly!"
"Please don't go. Those five made mistakes; you can't punish all of us for it!"
"This old woman and her grandson beg you!"
An old woman, holding her young grandson, intercepted Si Nan and, with a "thump," knelt directly in the snow, in front of Si Nan.
"I cannot bear your kneeling; it will shorten my life. Moreover, my mind is made up, and kneeling to me is useless. You'll have to find your own food from now on. From now on, everyone fends for themselves."
Si Nan dodged past them and quickly walked towards her small villa. People, ah, just can't be too kind-hearted. Look, weren't the lessons from her previous life enough to make her remember? A bunch of old, weak, sick, pregnant people, with only a few strong young men among them, instead of searching for supplies outside, they took advantage and then incited everyone to go against her?
Heh, Si Nan originally didn't want to care about their lives, and this just gave her an excuse to get rid of them. So she was happy! Her loud laughter just now wasn't from a cold heart, but genuine happiness.
"Ah, Sister Nan, what are you all still standing around for?" Director Lin roared, and everyone ran to intercept Si Nan, surrounding her in the middle, clasping their hands and desperately saying good things with fawning smiles.
The Three Building Owners were even more terrified, their mouths unable to stop: "Sister Nan, please forgive us, Sister Nan, don't stoop to the level of those five rascals. They're just five bad apples."
"Yes, Sister Nan, those few never learned good behavior. Even their parents couldn't control them. You really must continue to take care of all of us, otherwise, we won't survive."
"Sister Nan, wait, I'll deal with those three immediately and kick all three of them out of the Residential Area to fend for themselves. Quick, everyone, go together and throw them out, otherwise Sister Nan's anger won't subside, and she'll never take care of us again."
"Then what are we waiting for? Throw them out!"
The people from Unit S swarmed around the three. It was only then that those three hotheads realized fear—
