Chapter 48: I suppose no one would be that brainless, right...? (For the Alliance Leader)

~9 min read 1,605 words

As the saying goes: the law-abiding worry and fret day and night, while the wicked sing and revel; those who harm others for their own gain ride horses and mules, while the upright and fair go hungry.

Those who build bridges and repair roads go blind, while those who kill and set fires have many children; I went to the Western Heaven to ask my Buddha, and Buddha said: "I have no solution either!"

This statement is, of course, too absolute, but it does reflect some problems to a certain extent.

For instance, right now, Xu Yufeng is sitting inside the Property Management Office, and both Manager Xue from the Property Management and Li Xiaoli from the Community Office have already arrived.

Manager Xue's face is a bit dark at this moment; anyone who encounters a person like Xu Dama would have a headache.

He says the Property Management cannot handle this matter, but she doesn't care about that; she starts shouting loudly right at the entrance, saying things like the Property Management only knows how to collect money and does nothing at all.

She says how badly her family has been bullied, yet the Property Management ignores her completely.

When they try to get the security guards to escort the other party away, before the guards can even move, she starts shouting all sorts of things like "the security guards are going to hit someone," which makes it impossible for the guards to step in.

To put it bluntly, she is a real rascal; if you call the police to arrest her, she hasn't really done anything, but if you ignore her, the things she says there are truly unpleasant to hear.

At this moment, Manager Xue really wants to say that they in Property Management are a vulnerable group...

Actually, this statement is not wrong; nowadays, besides the common people, everyone else claims to be a vulnerable group. If you don't say it, it seems like you aren't mature enough.

So, in desperation, Manager Xue had no choice but to make a phone call, and then a staff member from the Community Office came over.

Hey, what a coincidence, it just happened to be Li Xiaoli, a newcomer who hadn't been on the job long; wouldn't you say that's a coincidence?

"Xu Dama, let's first confirm this: you say that all around your home, on every side, there is that... that noise disturbing the peace? In every neighbor's home?" Manager Xue asked.

"Yes, and... and I got up early in the morning to wait for them to leave, but I waited until after ten o'clock and there was no movement; I don't know what's going on..." Xu Yufeng said, a hint of complaint on her face.

"You tell me, we are all neighbors here, what is there that we can't talk about properly? Why make it like this?"

It's actually this bizarre?

For there to be noise in all the surrounding neighbors' homes, and for it to be the same sound, is quite something.

And the fact that these people haven't left their homes is quite strange.

Manager Xue asked with curiosity: "Then, Xu Dama, have you called those neighbors?"

"That, I haven't; I don't have their contact information," Xu Yufeng said righteously.

Manager Xue: "..." So, it turns out all that talk you kept spouting about being neighbors was just nonsense.

"Forget it, let me contact them. By the way, let me ask that old lady."

Oh yes, everyone's thinking is the same; when encountering such things, one always looks for the easy-going people to ask.

Manager Xue had someone find Liu Nainai's contact information and immediately began to make the call.

After a few rings, it connected, and Manager Xue said: "Hello, is this Grandma Liu? Hello, hello, I am Manager Xue from our Small Residential District's Property Management."

"Oh yes, I'm calling you to discuss a matter; are you at home right now?"

"Ah? You're not? Then where are you? What? Sanya??"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yufeng froze instantly; Liu Nainai went to Sanya? She actually left the house!

And yet she had spent all last night knocking on her door.

Manager Xue was also completely bewildered: "Wait, Grandma Liu, you went to Sanya for a vacation? When did you leave? By the way, there's a matter—since you've left, is your house empty?"

"Oh, you rented it out? May I ask who you rented it to? Oh, Zhou Yi downstairs? Alright, thank you, ah, then I'll hang up."

Putting down the phone, before Manager Xue could even speak, Xu Yufeng on the other side was already shouting: "I just knew he was the one causing trouble! He rented the house and then played those songs inside, not letting us sleep well!"

"And... and Grandma Liu, to actually rent the house to him, this—what a waste of so many years of being neighbors!"

Hearing this, Li Xiaoli on the side couldn't help but say: "Xu Dama, what you're saying is a bit wrong, isn't it? The man has his own home; why would he rent a house for no reason and specifically play songs to keep you awake?"

As she spoke, seeing everyone around looking at her, Li Xiaoli said even louder: "Isn't that right, everyone? Renting a house costs money and effort; why would he specifically do that?"

"Also, Xu Dama, didn't you say there was this sound on all sides? Liu Nainai already said she rented her house to him, so how could there be sound from other directions? Could it be that your neighbor downstairs rented out all the surrounding houses?"

"Is that possible? That's impossible!"

It's a good thing Zhou Yi isn't here, otherwise he would definitely express his appreciation for Sister Xiaoli's words; what do you call this? Fighting fire with fire!

Right? There are so many residents upstairs, why wouldn't he play songs for others and only play them for your family...

Xu Yufeng felt her blood pressure rising.

The key is that she couldn't refute it, because no one would think Zhou Yi would do such a thing; wouldn't that be brainless? With that kind of money, it would be much better to just move out.

Manager Xue hesitated, but still made another call; this time, he asked the neighbor living above Xu Yufeng.

"Oh, your family went out to stay in a five-star hotel? You're that rich? Zhou Yi paid for it? Why did he... he wanted to rent your house, your family didn't want to, so he paid for your family to go stay elsewhere, and then spent money to rent your house? Isn't he brainless?"

On the phone, the voice of the uncle upstairs also carried an inexplicable emotion: "I don't know either! He just wanted to rent it. You tell me, he pays the rent and pays for the hotel stay, who wouldn't agree? It's so comfortable living there."

Li Xiaoli's expression changed; she hadn't even thought in this direction at all, but now she felt that Zhou Yi was crazy.

So it really is possible that the other party rented all the houses!

Paying such a high price just to rent houses, and then simply wanting to make this Xu Dama sleep poorly?

Manager Xue on the other side had already started asking: "So your house was also rented by Zhou Yi? Do you know whose other houses he rented?"

"Unit 2, 16th floor, 17th floor, 18th floor—except for Xu Yufeng's house, he rented them all? And he found places for all of you to stay? Holy crap!"

Manager Xue couldn't help but curse; why can't he encounter someone like that? He also wants to go to Sanya, he also wants to stay in a five-star hotel!

Hanging up the phone, Manager Xue looked at Xu Yufeng, who was standing there stunned, and after hesitating, said: "So, Xu Dama, tell us first: what exactly happened between you and that neighbor downstairs that made him use such methods to retaliate!"

"You must explain it clearly, otherwise, go wherever you want!"

Xu Yufeng's face had already turned pale; she hadn't expected Zhou Yi to actually do this!

However, she still said: "The previous matter, don't you all know about the previous matter? As soon as he moved in, he said my family was disturbing the peace, saying my grandson was too loud. You tell me, how loud can a child be?"

"And then he actually went to file a Lawsuit against me. You tell me, I already paid the compensation, and now he's actually still doing this..."

"I can't live like this, I can't live like this... If you don't help me, I'm going to file a complaint, I'm going to petition, I'm going to report you... not letting people live..."

Seeing Xu Yufeng starting to wipe away tears again, as if she had suffered a great injustice, Manager Xue looked up at the sky.

Is it too late to resign now...

…………

On the other side, Zhou Yi received a phone call.

"What? You want me to stop playing music and disturbing the sleep of Xu Yufeng and her family?"
