Bab 31: Chapter 31 "Defy the Gods, Slay the Gods!
The crowd exchanged glances, and as if by an unspoken agreement, their gazes abruptly shifted toward the elevator entrance.
He Chunmei, who had originally wanted to continue her tirade against Su Dai and her husband, instantly shut her mouth.
Watching this bizarre scene unfold, Su Dai couldn't help but shake her head and murmured into Sun Jingtao's ear,
"Honey, don't you think this scene is like a melodrama where melodrama opens the door to itself? It's utterly melodramatic!"
She didn't want to continue watching the drama, nor did she want to get involved, so she simply took her husband by the hand and turned toward the fire escape stairs.
"Ding!"
The elevator doors slowly opened.
Everyone was already poised and ready to crowd forward.
But upon seeing Jiang Yan carrying a huge electric saw and walking out with an imposing aura, they involuntarily took a few steps back.
Jiang Yan, 168 centimeters tall, had on eight-centimeter thick-soled, slip-resistant shoes with insulation.
She wore sunglasses on her face and was clad in an aluminum foil insulation suit that appeared outlandishly sci-fi.
She may have been slender, but her powerful presence was overwhelmingly oppressive.
At first glance, she even resembled the cool, tough warrior from a Resident Evil movie.
Add to that the sharp electric saw in her hand, buzzing with a piercing roar.
Forget everything else, the intimidation and horror factors were at their peak in an instant.
It was as if her face bore the words "I'll defeat all gods and Buddhas in my way."
He Chunmei wiped a bead of sweat from her forehead and exchanged a look with Zhang Qiqi, whispering,
"Oh my god! That girl has such a huge electric saw, where did she get it?!"
"Sis, could it be that she borrowed it from the property management office on the first floor? But their saws don't look that big." Zhang Qiqi also seemed puzzled for a moment.
When she had just moved in, she had visited the property management office twice and saw some small electric saws.
But He Chunmei quickly grasped what was happening and signaled others in the crowd with her eyes.
A couple of kids who had been prepared to rush at Jiang Yan hesitated after seeing the buzzing saw and froze timidly.
The arguments that the crowd had been brewing for a long time were stuck in their throats now, unable to be voiced.
Before they could speak, Jiang Yan snapped the electric saw off with a "click" and gazed at the crowd, word by word, she declared,
"I'll say this one last time, leave my doorstep within ten seconds, otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Jiang Yan did not want to waste words with them.
Her approach was to cut through the mess swiftly.
Upon hearing her words, everyone looked at each other, uncertain for a second.
Some people had been instigated, thinking they had nothing better to do and simply joined in on the meddling.
Then there were a few mothers who had experienced their husbands' infidelity during pregnancy, and they absolutely despised mistresses.
Naturally, they projected this hatred onto Jiang Yan.
So, after hearing He Chunmei's inflammatory remarks, they all thought Jiang Yan was a mistress and wanted to punish her.
But now, seeing this stance and feeling her aura, they realized that even if she was a mistress or not, it didn't concern them.
She was not someone to be trifled with.
Indeed, she was untouchable.
Someone quickly weighed their options, preparing to make an excuse to leave.
After all, it was just about enjoying air conditioning to cool off; it wasn't worth risking their lives.
Zhang Qiqi caught a glimpse of everyone's shaken resolve from the corner of her eye and hurriedly put on a smile, stepping forward to say,
"What is this, little sister? We're all neighbors and good sisters, right? Can't we just talk—"
"Slap!"
Before Zhang Qiqi could finish saying "it out," Jiang Yan sneered and, with a flick of her hand, placed the shiny blade of the saw heavily on Zhang Qiqi's shoulder.
"!!!"
The cold metal touch and weight pressing down caused Zhang Qiqi's pupils to constrict and her body to shudder involuntarily.
"Heavens!"
The crowd was also startled, uttering a cry of alarm.
"Mom!"
Seeing this, Song Xiaofei quickly ran over and clung to Jiang Yan's leg, "Auntie, please, don't hurt my mom!!"
"Little sister, is it really necessary—" He Chunmei's words were caught in her throat.
That's because she clearly saw Jiang Yan's wrist flip lightly, placing the electric saw blade neatly on Zhang Qiqi's shoulder, next to her tender neck.
The crowd couldn't help but wipe sweat off their brows for Zhang Qiqi.
If Jiang Yan accidentally hit the button, Zhang Qiqi's head could be off.
Although it was a society governed by laws, Jiang Yan might not dare to act recklessly.
But judging by the clothes she wore and her current behavior, she might just be crazy enough.
Would a madwoman kill someone in front of witnesses?
Who knows.
Anything was possible.
Additionally, those with nothing to lose have no fear of those with everything to lose.
These people all had families to take care of.
She might not dare to provoke them directly, but what if she secretly targeted their elderly parents or young children—what would they do?
Some of them started to chicken out.
Others sneakily dialed emergency numbers.
But it was clear the line was busy.
A woman picked up her phone, whether she was planning to secretly take evidence or to live stream, Jiang Yan caught her with a glance.
She fiercely scolded, "Put that phone down!"
The woman was shocked for a second and resentfully placed her phone down.
Jiang Yan clenched her other fist, patiently adding one more sentence:
"I can make it very clear to you, whether I live in a thousand-square-meter house or sleep on a five-hundred-square-meter bed has nothing to do with any of you! Also, whether I let you come in is a question of whether I'm willing to succumb to your moral blackmail.
But, if you keep blocking my way back, you are obstructing my right of passage, and that's a legal issue! If you're sure you want to break the law, I won't hesitate to accommodate you!!"
Her speech was clearly aimed at the unruly crowd.
The crowd, already inclined to back down, were just too embarrassed to do so.
Upon hearing this, they began motioning to each other, bowing their heads in their own guilt and dispersing.
With Jiang Yan standing at the elevator entrance, they didn't dare go near.
They went straight to the fire stairs and descended to the 31st floor before transferring to another elevator.
"Sis, sis, what are you going to do?" Zhang Qiqi, now devoid of her prior arrogance, saw the crowd leaving and shivered even more, her face growing increasingly pale.
Jiang Yan gritted her back teeth and coldly squeezed out two words: "Whittle you."
"Whittle, whittle me? Why? I haven't said anything! If you're going to whittle someone it should be He Chunmei!
It was all her stirring us up, saying that you're a mistress, saying you're utterly vile!!
Saying that you..." Zhang Qiqi was tongue-tied for a second, pointing at the only remaining He Chunmei and wailing.
He Chunmei, hearing her words, turned various shades of anger on her face.
She wished she could march up and slap her hard.
Jiang Yan sneered, "Need a reason to whittle you?!"
After speaking, she took several deep breaths.
She had indeed imagined countless ways to deal with Zhang Qiqi.
But now,
Just endure a bit longer!
She must maintain her reason!
Upon hearing her words, Zhang Qiqi felt a chill down her back, her legs went weak, and she nearly knelt down right in front of Jiang Yan.
