75: Su Ran appeared again

Shi Xu only let Xu Huan open this small hole because he saw they had no ill intentions.

If they were still not satisfied, then there was no need for further communication.

Shi Xu's gaze was profound; the people outside only met his eyes for a few seconds before they couldn't help but lower their heads, not daring to look again.

The refined man, seeing this, knew that this person should be the leader of this building.

He introduced himself, "My name is Shang Yan. I want to discuss the safety of this building with you."

Shi Xu raised an eyebrow when he heard this, a hint of confusion on his face.

"We haven't done anything dangerous, have we?"

"Are you here to warn us?"

Xu Huan asked sarcastically, crossing his arms.

They hadn't done anything to endanger the building, so these people coming to talk to them about this made him wonder what their intentions were.

Xu Huan looked at Shang Yan, clearly annoyed.

Shang Yan, realizing he had misunderstood, quickly waved his hands and explained, "No, no, you might have misunderstood. I'm not here to warn you."

To avoid further misunderstanding, he decided to state his thoughts directly: "I want to talk to you about the army.

A team is coming to our building tomorrow, and I'm worried that once they arrive, they will make us original residents uneasy."

A trace of hesitation flashed across Shang Yan's face, as if he was genuinely troubled by the matter.

Shi Xu saw through his thoughts and sneered, "So you want us to be the scapegoats?"

After all that Shang Yan said, if he still didn't understand what he was plotting, he would be a fool.

Shi Xu looked at Shang Yan indifferently. For some reason, Shang Yan felt a little unnerved under his gaze.

"No... it's not like that."

"I just think we should unite, that's all."

"If they dare to bully any original resident, you should also stand up and object."

"After all, we've been together longer, haven't we?"

Shang Yan no longer had his earlier refined demeanor. Stared at by Shi Xu's eyes, he no longer dared to show any high spirits.

He tried his best to avoid Shi Xu's gaze, not even daring to look directly into Shi Xu's eyes when speaking.

Before Shi Xu could speak, Xu Huan jumped in.

"Shang Yan, do you think we're all fools?"

"Don't bring out your terrible idea and make a fool of yourself. Quickly take your people and leave. Don't come here again."

Xu Huan's face was full of anger. He felt that Shang Yan was treating them all as fools.

Shang Yan subconsciously wanted to say something, but the man behind him suddenly poked him.

He turned around, and the man whispered to him, "Boss, if they don't agree, then so be it. When the army comes, they'll definitely target them first, after all, they occupy an entire floor!"

Shang Yan heard this and felt it made some sense.

He had gotten anxious upon hearing about the army's arrival and had come to seek cooperation from these people without thinking much.

Now that he thought about it, if he cooperated with them, he would definitely be in trouble faster.

Thinking of this, Shang Yan felt that not cooperating was a good thing.

"Since you don't want to cooperate with us, we won't force you."

"If anything happens to you, we won't save you either."

After Shang Yan finished speaking, he turned and left with his people.

His eager retreating figure made Xu Huan couldn't help but complain, "Why is he running so fast? We're not going to open the door and hit him."

Shi Xu ignored him and turned to enter the door.

Su Jinxuan knew he was thinking about a problem now, so he didn't go over to disturb him.

"Su Jinxuan, what do you think happened to our boss?"

"Why did he suddenly go back inside?"

Xu Huan scratched the back of his head, looking bewildered.

He wondered if he had said something to displease him, which was why he left.

Su Jinxuan turned around and saw Xu Huan's conflicted expression. He reached out and patted his shoulder, saying casually, "It's nothing. Your boss isn't angry. He always looks like this when he's thinking."

He understood Shi Xu very well. After all, they had been teammates fighting side by side for several years, so he knew Shi Xu's temperament well.

Xu Huan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Su Jinxuan say this.

Shi Xu returned to his room and closed the door.

He looked at the pen and paper on the table, walked over, and started drawing and writing.

Once everything was done, he folded the paper and put it in his pocket.

Shi Xu glanced at the time and realized it was already dinner time.

He opened the door, and outside were all sorts of sounds.

Especially Su Mianmian's cry of "Where did Shi Xu go?", which he felt was particularly bright.

"Mianmian, I'm here!"

"Is there anything?"

Shi Xu shook his head and quickly walked towards Su Mianmian.

Su Mianmian saw him and immediately pulled him aside.

"Shi Xu, when I pulled back the curtains and looked across today, I saw them pointing guns at our floor."

"Maybe not just our floor."

"But no matter what, I feel like they're targeting us."

Su Mianmian said to Shi Xu with a serious expression.

Heaven knew how speechless she was when she cautiously pulled back the curtains to look across and was met with gun muzzles.

She didn't want to experience that feeling of trepidation again.

Shi Xu listened to Su Mianmian's words, and an expression of understanding appeared on his face.

"I think it might be related to the person who came to find us today."

"He failed to cooperate with us, so he got angry and cooperated with the army instead."

Shi Xu's face was full of sarcasm.

Su Mianmian looked at Shi Xu with a puzzled expression. What was he saying? She didn't understand.

Shi Xu explained it to her, and Su Mianmian finally understood.

"This kind of person is too bad!"

"He kept saying it was for the safety of our building, but then he turned around and cooperated with them."

"What do we do now?"

Su Mianmian stomped her foot, her face full of indignation.

She was furious. If she saw that man again, she would definitely get revenge.

To expose them like that, such a person was too hateful!

"For now, let's ignore them and see what they ultimately want to do."

"Don't pull back the curtains during this time."

"I don't think they'll come to bother us for now."

"Food is their top priority right now. Unless they don't want to live, they know what's most important."

Shi Xu's lips curved slightly into a sarcastic smile.

Su Mianmian nodded, agreeing with what he said.

Those people across the way were just pointing guns at them; they hadn't actually threatened them yet.

If they threatened them in the future... it would be a fight to the death.

If they weren't afraid of dying in vain, then they could just come at them.

Su Mianmian looked at the opposite side with a sarcastic expression, her heart filled with fighting spirit.

Dinner tonight was calm. No one spoke, and even eating was very quiet.

Everyone had thoughts about the future and worries about the team coming tomorrow.

Su Mianmian returned to her room after eating. She wanted to break through her ability as soon as possible.

Danger was imminent, so she had to work harder and harder.

As night deepened, the rain outside continued to fall. Those who had long grown accustomed to it slept without much trouble.

When Su Mianmian went out early in the morning, she found that Shi Xu and the others were all in the monitoring room.

She walked in and found them all staring at the surveillance footage of the sixth floor.

Boats were constantly approaching the sixth-floor window, and people were climbing up.

Su Mianmian felt that if she went down to the sixth floor now, she would definitely see a lot of excitement.

Just then, Su Mianmian saw an acquaintance.

"Isn't that Su Ran?"

"Why is she here alone?"

Su Jinxuan said, shocked.

Su Mianmian stared at her intently and realized she wasn't alone.

Beside her was a tall, strong man, and their actions were intimate, like a couple.

"The man next to her seems to be Yao Yin's son, Yao Sheng."

Shi Xu said seriously.
