Chapter 32: If You're So Capable, Go Ahead and Sue Me!

~10 min read 1,836 words

Director Tian does indeed have a bit of face, but facts have proven that Director Tian's face is only worth one night's time.

Moreover, they really stopped causing trouble at night, and moved directly to the early morning hours.

They even used an alarm clock; even if you go to talk to them, it's truly hard to reason with them.

But Zhou Yi could no longer endure it. Setting aside the task or not, he truly couldn't fathom why people like this would act this way!

Doing this brings them not the slightest benefit; are they happy just by watching him be uncomfortable?

Needless to say, he took out his phone and started recording a video; regardless of anything else, at the very least, evidence must be preserved.

As for Zhou Yi himself, he found a pair of earplugs to stuff in his ears. He was truly too sleepy; without a good rest, he really wouldn't have the energy to argue.

After sleeping for a while, until about eight o'clock or so, Zhou Yi climbed out of bed, tidied up, put his phone away, and brought his gear upstairs.

He arrived at the entrance of the building and began to make a call.

This time, the Property Management's response was still very simple: Property Management couldn't handle it, and told him to find the Community Office.

The person who answered the phone at the Community Office was a man, who told him that the Community Office also couldn't handle it and suggested he call the police.

Having been kept from sleeping well for three days for no reason, he would just call the police; it wasn't the first time anyway.

He dialed the number directly to report the incident. The police had nothing to say; as long as a report was made, they had to respond.

After reporting it, Zhou Yi then began to knock on the door, only the commotion was a bit louder.

He didn't knock many times before the door opened. Zhao Xun walked out, and upon seeing Zhou Yi, he was stunned for a moment, but still said, "Aren't you that person from last night? Why have you come to my home again? My home didn't make any noise last night."

"No noise made? Then what about this morning? So early, ah, it wasn't even five o'clock yet and you started setting off alarms? And you specifically placed it at the kitchen drain pipe?"

"Aren't you really sick in the head? Ah, so we can't even set an alarm in the morning now? You can't get up yourself, and now you're blaming us for disturbing your sleep?"

"A person has to be reasonable, right!"

Just at this moment, Xu Yufeng's whole family walked out. Xu Yufeng's loud voice had already started shouting: "It's that person from downstairs again? Is he going to keep biting onto our family and not let go or what!"

Seeing that the other party had come out, Zhou Yi took a step back, simply holding his phone in front of him to record the video, and said, "You can say whatever you want, I've already called the police."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xun's expression changed and he said, "You even called the police? Fine, let's let the police judge who is looking for trouble. Our family has lived here for ten years, and no one has ever said anything. Why are you the only one acting special!"

Zhou Yi chuckled: "Say it, keep saying it. I'm too lazy to argue, but I can tell you, I'm recording this right now. Tomorrow, we can post these words of yours on the internet and let you get famous."

Zhou Yi was, of course, also in a fit of anger. He wanted to argue more than anyone, but he knew that arguing now wouldn't solve the problem... With people like this, you have to make them feel pain for it to work.

Otherwise, just bickering a few words would be completely useless.

So he was just saying that.

Unexpectedly, after he finished this sentence, Zhao Xun, who had originally been standing behind, suddenly stepped forward and slapped the phone in Zhou Yi's hand.

This move came unexpectedly and knocked the phone directly to the side.

Crack! The phone fell, and the screen shattered into pieces.

This sudden act of violence not only stunned Zhou Yi, but even Xu Yufeng was taken aback: "Son, you..."

Zhao Xun said with a gloomy face: "Mom, we can't let him record randomly. People like this are the lowest; who knows what he'll turn it into later."

Zhou Yi finally reacted, his face showing surprise as he said: "No, if you didn't want me to record, couldn't you have just said so? Do you know you've already broken my phone screen now?"

"This is called damaging someone else's property, you have to pay for it!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yufeng sneered: "Oh my, the fox's tail is finally showing. You should have just said earlier that you wanted us to pay you, instead of claiming we disturbed your sleep!"

"You were the one who filmed us first; my son had no choice. You still want my family to pay? Keep dreaming!"

Hey, this hot temper... Zhou Yi really couldn't hold it back anymore and wanted to throw a punch, but just at this moment, a police officer walked out of the elevator.

Seeing that they were about to fight, Lao Li hurriedly stepped forward to stop them: "Everyone stop, talk things out properly, why are you resorting to violence? If you dare to move again, I'll take you all back!"

After all, he was a policeman, and his deterrent power was still quite strong. With one shout from Lao Li, both sides separated.

Only then did Lao Li wipe his sweat. He was the community police officer for this area; as the name implies, he was responsible for this community.

He basically knew the situation in the community like the back of his hand, especially regarding a family like Xu Yufeng's.

Every month, they would call the police because of some conflict. It was always trivial matters that shouldn't be the police's business, but the common folk, as long as it was a "thing," would call the police.

And once the police were called, they had to respond; this was their duty, to the point where Lao Li sometimes complained that he was becoming a neighborhood committee auntie.

"Who called the police? What's going on?" Lao Li asked.

Zhou Yi hurriedly replied: "Officer, my name is Zhou Yi, I called the police. It's like this..."

He gave a rough account of the situation, mainly focusing on his phone screen being shattered by the other party.

Lao Li didn't ask too much and listened silently. These kinds of trivial matters were basically clear. As for why they always tried to smooth things over, the reason was simple: some people were "rogues," and they were hard to deal with.

After listening, Lao Li suddenly asked: "Wait, you said your name is Zhou Yi?"

Zhou Yi nodded, wondering why this police officer was asking this.

Lao Li, of course, wouldn't say that he had already become a celebrity in the Jingzhou City public security system, and that many people knew that such a "thick-headed" person had appeared in Jingzhou...

Turning his head, Lao Li looked at Xu Yufeng's family and said: "Xu Yufeng, right? Tell me, is it like this? Someone asked you not to disturb the peace, and you even smashed their phone?"

"Officer, we've lived here for so long. As soon as he moved in, everything was wrong—this was wrong, that was wrong. He kept saying we were disturbing the peace and whatnot. Last night, we didn't even dare to make a peep."

"Then this morning, the alarm went off, and he came to look for trouble again. This is clearly bullying us!"

"He even used his phone to record us, saying he wanted to post it on the internet to make us famous. My son just wanted to take the phone and delete the video, and the screen broke by accident..."

Lao Li didn't speak. If he didn't know what kind of family this was, he would have believed this story.

It was a headache, truly a headache. The police's law enforcement power was getting smaller and smaller, and there was really no way to deal with such things because they didn't fall under their jurisdiction in the first place.

All they could do was maintain order, which meant that as long as the two sides didn't fight, it was none of their business.

But rules were rules; if they were truly complained about, it would be a pile of trouble...

Therefore, Lao Li could only bite the bullet and say to Zhou Yi: "Zhou Yi, right? Your phone screen is broken, but it's not worth much money; it doesn't meet the standard for Case Filing, and they also said it was unintentional, so it's very hard to handle."

"As for the matter of them disturbing the peace, my suggestion is to go through legal channels to resolve it."

Facing such rogues, he couldn't give any better advice.

Zhou Yi looked up at Lao Li and said: "So, your meaning is that I can only go and sue them?"

However, before Zhou Yi could finish his sentence, Xu Yufeng on the other side already said: "If you have the ability, go ahead and file a Lawsuit. Don't just talk about it, don't be polite at all, go file it! Didn't the police officer already give you that suggestion?"

Lao Li: "..." He had been trying his best to keep both sides calm, but this Xu Yufeng really had some issues, still fanning the flames here!

Yet, something unexpected to Lao Li happened; Zhou Yi nodded and said: "Alright. By the way, thank you for your suggestion, comrade."

Hm... hm? Lao Li was dumbfounded; I just give that suggestion wherever I go...

Before he could say anything else, Zhou Yi had already turned and left.

Nothing else, those three lines of text had become very clear at this very moment.

One: You are all neighbors, seeing each other every day, just endure it!

Two: Directly take action, punch him in the face and he will shut up!

Three: File a Lawsuit in return, and rent out all the surrounding houses to create a harmonious and comfortable living environment for the neighbor!

For no other reason, he just wants to see if the neighbor will be very happy when surrounded by brainwashing hit songs, brainwashing advertisements, and the system-brand floor-shaking device!

Second update. Wine Sword updates five thousand words a day in two parts. After all, it's the new book period; if it's too fast, I won't get recommendations. Everyone please understand. Also, I'm preparing to save up chapters for a big release.

Thanks to Brother Ai B Zai for the tip, thank you.
