Chapter 682: Lei Xiaoman's Plan Officially Begins |
Little Dragon Girl: [The one who really caused this sudden situation is Bai Ze.]
At the moment Li Shumu received Bai Ze's message.
The live stream camera gave a close-up of his phone, allowing everyone in the live stream room to see it clearly.
Little Aunt: [How did that Bai Ze know Xia Qiangqiang went to Room 303? I never saw him in the live stream either?]
[And what’s his intention with this tip-off?]
[I remember back then, he seemed to have tipped off Mike too.]
[Oh, not just him—Xiao Q, Xiao Peng, those guys also got tips from him.]
Ultimate Rich Kid: [Xiao Q, Xiao Peng, Ke Bei—when you suddenly bring them up, and I think about my own past experiences...]
[I always feel like things have changed so much, like I’ve been watching a long suspense horror drama, dreamlike and surreal.]
Domineering Female CEO: [Too bad this is real, not a drama. Xiao Q and those guys are actually dead, not like in a show where they die on screen but are fine in real life.]
[In this Alice Apartment, anyone could die in the future. Even if Jiang Ran kicks the bucket one day, it wouldn’t be surprising, though he’s like a cockroach.]
The topic turned a bit melancholy.
...
32nd Round, Day 3, 12:22 PM.
Jiang Ran was at home, eating a plate of his own fried rice.
He savored it while watching a Korean drama: "Dark Glory."
It was a huge hit starring Song Hye-kyo.
One sentence summary: A high school bullying victim seeks revenge after growing up.
Jiang Ran expected the revenge plot to include the female lead killing someone with her own hands.
But surprisingly, the whole show lacked that kind of scene. The female lead was more about pushing things along and scheming behind the scenes.
Quite innovative.
But speaking of school bullying.
How many victims end up successfully taking revenge like the female lead in this drama?
Jiang Ran walked over to the balcony window.
He looked into the distance for a while.
Then, he looked down.
Coincidentally, he happened to see Yang Qi coming in to deliver a package.
Yang Qi was delivering packages.
By chance, one of the packages was for Alice Apartment.
He arrived at Room 601 in Building No. 2.
He rang the doorbell.
And shouted loudly, “Package! Your package is here!!”
The door was opened by Lei Xiaoman. She took the package and said thank you to Yang Qi.
Inside Room 601.
Lei Xiaoman couldn’t wait to open the package.
She hadn’t expected it to arrive so fast.
After opening it, inside the plastic wrap was a small bottle—a transparent bottle containing a pale yellow liquid.
This was her family’s hereditary sedative.
“Everything is ready, just waiting for the east wind!”
She tightly gripped the bottle of sedative in her palm.
Lei Xiaoman began to look forward to her boyfriend falling into her trap.
She had already woven a lie the night before.
She had tricked her boyfriend, Sun Jiankang, into coming here, and had already set it in motion.
The lie was simple: she said the Alice Apartment unit belonged to her relative.
This relative had no children and had recently passed away.
After the death, the house was left to her inheritance.
She decided to put both her and Sun Jiankang’s names on the deed, as their future marital home.
So, she needed Sun Jiankang to come over and check out the place.
Of course, she was afraid this lie wouldn’t lure him in, so she also said that if his mother didn’t have enough money for medical treatment, they could use the house as collateral or sell it.
When Lei Xiaoman lied on the phone last night, she still held a sliver of hope.
She hoped her boyfriend would righteously refuse what she said.
But as soon as he heard about inheriting a house, he only pretended to hesitate for a moment before immediately agreeing, saying he’d catch the earliest bus tomorrow.
At this, Lei Xiaoman’s urge to castrate her boyfriend became even harder to control.
Lei Xiaoman’s boyfriend—Sun Jiankang—arrived at Alice Apartment at two in the afternoon.
Lei Xiaoman specifically went to the main entrance to greet him.
As soon as her boyfriend Sun Jiankang stepped into Alice Apartment, he was stunned.
To be fair, Alice Apartment was a high-end complex, and its exterior scale screamed “expensive.”
It might not fool the wealthy, but it definitely worked on ordinary people.
Everyone is a born actor—it’s just about whether you want to step onto the stage.
At this moment, Lei Xiaoman really wished she could chop Sun Jiankang with a knife.
But to lure him into the trap, she put on her old, delighted expression of seeing her long-missed boyfriend.
She went up to hug and hold him.
Sun Jiankang was also an actor. Facing his girlfriend’s coquettishness and intimate gestures.
Inside, he only felt disgust, but he had to pretend to be affectionate.
So, both of them were superficially loving but inwardly repulsed.
On the rooftop of Building No. 1.
Zhang Yao was watching this affectionate couple at the main entrance.
He had a cigarette dangling from his mouth, a slight upward curve at the corner of his lips.
...
“Baby, who is this relative of yours? How did you end up inheriting this?”
Lei Xiaoman and Sun Jiankang entered Building No. 2. Sun Jiankang looked around at the equally impressive interior decoration.
He asked curiously.
A dark glint flashed in Lei Xiaoman’s eyes.
But her tone carried a smile: “It’s my dad’s sister, well, half-sister. I only met her a few times when I was little, and never saw her again after that.”
She made up a completely nonexistent sister for her father.
Sun Jiankang nodded: “I envy you, getting to inherit a house like this.”
Lei Xiaoman: “Envy what? Soon, this will be our home!!!”
They took the elevator, and Sun Jiankang noticed it ran incredibly smoothly. He saw it was imported from Europe or America.
He found the apartment building even more impressive.
They got out of the elevator and arrived at the door of Room 601.
Sun Jiankang was already impatient.
He waited for Lei Xiaoman to open the door, then rushed in ahead of her.
Once inside, Sun Jiankang looked left and right, his mouth slightly open, like a country bumpkin entering a grand garden.
“Look around the place yourself; I’ll get you a glass of water.”
After closing the security door and looking at Sun Jiankang, who seemed like a clueless yokel, Lei Xiaoman said that and turned to go to the kitchen.
She began preparing the sedative.
Sun Jiankang, naturally unaware of his girlfriend Lei Xiaoman’s plan, stupidly started touring the apartment.
The living room, balcony, bedroom, bathroom, and so on.
The more he toured, the more satisfied he became.
At the same time, he grew increasingly jealous of Lei Xiaoman.
This stupid woman really had dumb luck.
A house this nice, falling from the sky—the world was so unfair.
Why did someone as excellent as him have to rely on his own hard work and struggle for everything, without getting such a surprise gift package?
“Fifty thousand per square meter. This place, even if it’s a one-bedroom standard unit, looks like it’s about fifty square meters, so that’s... two hundred and fifty thousand?”
He calculated the value of the house in his mind.
Sun Jiankang’s heart was racing with excitement and elation.
