Great, It's the Pervy Neighbor. We're Doomed
Chapter 838: A Letter to Jiang RanManager Wu Meiling understood the situation at the scene.
Her reaction was noticeably more panicked and flustered than Wu Wen's.
But whether it was genuine or just an act, nobody could tell.
At any rate, she sure delivered on the emotional value.
Moreover, she slapped her own forehead and complained bitterly: "Oh dear, why does our apartment complex always have these kinds of incidents?"
Hearing this, Jiang Ran thought back to everything that had happened since he first moved into the apartment.
One incident after another—he kept his mouth shut.
As for Zeng Yan, who hadn't lived there long, he bit his lower lip upon hearing those words.
"In just the time I've been here, first there was someone using a suitcase to dump a corpse, then that foreigner named Bundy tried to rape a woman... this apartment complex really is pretty dangerous..."
Zeng Yan had at least a bit of emotional intelligence—he only said Bundy tried to rape a woman, without naming names, not mentioning that the woman was Manager Wu Meiling herself.
Manager Wu Meiling sighed: "Yeah."
Zeng Yan said: "Could it be that our apartment's location and feng shui aren't good? That's why these things keep happening?"
"I saw something on TikTok before—said it was just like Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong. That place had tons of incidents, and they were all really strange. One after another!"
Zeng Yan got more and more worked up, wanting to immerse himself in the story and tell everyone what he knew.
But then, a big hand landed on his shoulder.
A calm, steady voice followed:
"Alright, Zeng Yan, just do your job as a security guard. Talk like that could hurt our apartment's reputation—it's fine to say it in front of us, but don't you dare say it in front of anyone else. If I find out you've affected the overall atmosphere and morale of our complex, then I'll have to ask you to resign from your security post."
Zeng Yan immediately shut up and nodded like an obedient little kid.
Soon, both 110 and 120 arrived. The ambulance took care of sending Huang Kaiyu to the nearest hospital, while the police conducted a basic investigation into the head wound Huang Kaiyu had sustained.
After the investigation was finished.
The police left, and the few people in Building No. 2 dispersed as well.
Jiang Ran returned to Building No. 1, took the elevator to the third floor, and soon arrived at the door of his Room 304.
But just as he reached the door, he noticed that someone had stuck an envelope on the center of his door with clear tape.
This envelope wasn't the yellow kraft paper kind, but a sky-blue one.
The surface of the envelope was perfectly clean, with no ink marks or traces left behind, and no stamp either. He pulled the envelope off, opened it, and took out a folded piece of white paper.
After opening the paper, he saw words written in red ink:
"Jiang Ran, I want to be friends with you."
Jiang Ran looked at the front of the paper—that was all there was. Then he checked the back, scrutinizing it carefully.
The entire sheet of white paper only had that one sentence. As for who left the letter, there was no clue at all. Jiang Ran was completely baffled. He put down the letter in his hand and looked left and right down the hallway.
Not a soul in sight.
At that moment, the white paper was clenched in his palm, and he felt both confused and at a loss.
Bang.
The door to Room 303 opened.
He turned his head and saw Qin Kelian. After she stepped out, she looked up and spotted Jiang Ran, standing at his door without going in.
She asked with a smile: "Jiang Ran, what are you standing there like an idiot for?"
Jiang Ran waved her over.
Qin Kelian obediently walked over.
She didn't dare not to.
When she got there, Jiang Ran handed her the white paper.
After reading the content, she asked, puzzled: "Who gave this to you?"
Jiang Ran scratched his head: "No idea. I was hoping you might have seen someone come to my door. I got home and found this thing stuck on my door!"
Qin Kelian hummed for a long moment, then suggested Jiang Ran check the surveillance footage.
Maybe they could find something.
So the two of them went down to the first floor together. Qin Kelian had come out to throw away the trash, so she just went along with Jiang Ran into the ground-floor surveillance room. But when they got inside, they found the surveillance system wasn't working—it was broken.
"I remember this surveillance has been broken for a long time. No one's fixed it."
Jiang Ran walked out of the surveillance room, completely speechless.
Beside him, Qin Kelian said: "I heard it got infected with some virus. Pretty tough to deal with."
His attention was still fixed on the letter in his hand. He tilted his head in confusion: "Then who the hell left this for me?"
Qin Kelian said: "It's definitely a girl."
Jiang Ran: "How can you tell?"
Her fair, slender finger pointed at the words on the white paper, and Qin Kelian said with great confidence.
"Writing reveals the person. Everyone's handwriting is different, and it often reflects their personality. You can tell what kind of person they are from their writing."
"I'm pretty sure the person who wrote this is a girl. Probably a resident of the apartment too. Secretly has a crush on you but is too shy to say it. She's probably the shy type."
"So, Jiang Ran, your love luck is about to arrive!"
Jiang Ran shuddered all over: "Love luck? I don't want any love luck. It's probably rotten luck."
"And I barely know any women in this apartment. Who would write me something like this?"
Actually, Jiang Ran was about to say that if the person who wrote this really was a girl, and she was as pretty as Qin Kelian, he might actually accept it.
But Jiang Ran didn't dwell on the matter much, nor could he afford to. He could only wait and see.
……
Round 33, Day 1, 9:15 AM.
Nancheng City First People's Hospital.
"You're awake?"
Inside an ordinary hospital room.
Huo Yun was beside one of the hospital beds, using a fruit knife to peel an apple.
On the bed lay a man—Huang Kaiyu, who had been attacked the night before.
Huang Kaiyu slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing the expanse of white before him, his mind was clearly still a fog.
After nearly a full ten minutes.
His eyes darted one way, then another, then up at the ceiling, and finally landed on Huo Yun beside him.
He asked: "What happened?"
Huo Yun finished peeling the apple. But he didn't give the apple to Huang Kaiyu to eat—he ate it himself.
Between bites, he said: "Last night, someone cracked your head open. That security guard named Zeng Yan from Alice Apartment found you. Then Jiang Ran and those two managers all went there and called 120 for you."
"Oh..."
Huang Kaiyu seemed to remember what happened last night.
Huo Yun asked: "Who attacked you last night? Do you know?"
Huang Kaiyu shook his head: "No idea. Last night felt like I'd run into a ghost."
Then, Huang Kaiyu told Huo Yun everything in detail—about seeing that severed hand in the bike shed, and the man in a female student's uniform at the corner of Building No. 1. And everything that happened when he entered Building No. 1 and waited for the elevator the night before.
