Sister Chen repeated uncertainly, "Jade?"

Shen Jing nodded firmly and stretched in her chair. "I'll accept any jade that's of the highest quality."

Before the two could finish their conversation, the troubled security door was knocked on again.

As soon as she opened the door, good heavens, Shen Jing found that the corridor on the 20th floor was already crowded with people.

One blow would definitely wipe out 10 buildings.

They packed 2002 so tightly that you could tell from the sound of their footsteps that there were more people behind them.

Shen Jing raised an eyebrow. Did these people think they could get away with it because of the sheer number of people involved?

Sister Chen hadn't been there long, and the sleeves of her down jacket were still patched, so she shouldn't have attracted their attention.

So, the reason these people came to my house in such a menacing manner was because of Shen Jing.

But because she was still processing Gu Yan's words, the aftereffects were too strong, and she hadn't gone out for the past two days.

We didn't do anything particularly significant that warranted such a large-scale effort.

Even if there were any... it was what the Masked Organization members said that day. Could they have really been provoked?

She silently took out a stun gun from the bag she was carrying and stood with her arms crossed by her door.

It was quite a coincidence that Gu Yan's rampage corroded the generator; otherwise, having heating in the freezing cold would have truly confirmed the Masked Organization's claim that she had abundant supplies.

It's hard to guarantee that these residents won't do something irrational, although Shen Jing isn't afraid.

The crowd was stunned by her murderous eyes, and they couldn't help but feel afraid. Many of them had witnessed the masked man's fate, so how could they not be afraid?

The legend of their neighborhood still circulates in other communities, after all, the mask was left at the entrance of the community as a warning to others.

At this moment, Li Wei came out.

He smiled warmly at Shen Jing and said, "Miss Shen, we have no ill intentions in knocking on your door this time."

Shen Jing didn't believe her. "Oh."

"Haha, that's right. Miss Shen helped drive away the masked gang in our community last time. She's a hero in our neighborhood!"

Seeing that she didn't respond, Li Wei had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue explaining his purpose: "I think you know that now, no matter which apartment building you live in, everything below the 9th floor is buried in snow. We want to organize everyone to do some digging."

"So what?" Shen Jing asked coldly.

"This is about saving money, isn't it? Our digging work is only to help residents below the 9th floor! But we still have to go out and search..."

At this point, Shen Jing understood.

The excavation wasn't the main point; rather, they considered the supplies in the community as already theirs.

Shen Jing looked at Li Wei meaningfully: "What does it have to do with me if you go out to find supplies?"

Li Wei chuckled and said in a good-natured manner, "Your courage in standing up for us left a very deep impression on everyone. People are more willing to trust you and feel safe going out with you!"

He and Shen Jing exchanged glances, his eyes flickering slightly. "Besides, we all live in the same neighborhood, so we should help each other out."

"What can you do to help me?" Shen Jing spread her hands.

Her words sparked a buzz of discussion among the crowd, clearly indicating their dissatisfaction with her answer.

Li Wei gave a wink to one of the men inside, then said gently to the others, "Let's hear what Miss Shen has to say first!"

Shen Jing looked at these people who wanted to take advantage without putting in any effort. To be honest, she really had nothing to say.

Moreover, since Room 2002 has already been destroyed by Gu Yan, she can find a safe place to hide in the space.

The fear is that if one becomes too comfortable in a certain space, they won't be able to adapt to the rapidly changing realities of life.

Sister Chen couldn't stand seeing them bully Shen Jing because of their numbers, so she stood up and said, "You people have such nice words. Jing helped the neighborhood drive away the masked gang, and I haven't seen you thank her much! Now you're actually trying to pressure her!"

Shen Jing stopped Sister Chen, who was about to rush out, and calmly said, "Speak, what do you want?"

"Oh my, look at Miss Shen, she's so sensible." Li Wei said with a smile, "We'd like to borrow your inflatable boat, snowmobile, and stun gun!"

Sister Chen was so angry she laughed. They call this "being reasonable"?!

She spat at Li Wei and said, "Look at you, all dressed up, what kind of despicable ideas are you coming up with!"

Shen Jing pulled Sister Chen's arm and dragged her back into the house, leaving her with the words, "Okay."

Everyone was ecstatic; they knew there were many of them, and that she, a girl, would definitely obey!

Now their community has both weapons and vehicles.

Would we be afraid of going hungry?! No way!

Shen Jing glanced at everyone, then said to Li Wei, "I'm entrusting these three items to you for safekeeping, and I'll charge you a rental fee of 100 yuan for the jade. Oh, by the way, it's the kind of jade that I've verified to be genuine."

Li Wei's expression stiffened for a moment, but he quickly realized that these three items, like jade, were priceless and unavailable!

What is the value of jade?

It doesn't even taste as good as a steamed bun now!

He had already anticipated that Shen Jing might do what she did before and shut them up first.

He couldn't help but feel a little smug, thinking, "Jade! It's good, it's good!"

"Hmm, payment at the beginning of each month, no problem?" Shen Jing put forward another condition.

Negotiation is about giving way to each other.

Now that they're begging her, Shen Jing isn't in a hurry.

Sure enough, Li Wei lowered his head and pondered for a moment, not wanting to take the blame. He gave Chen Jing an awkward smile, then turned to the others and asked, "What do you all think?"
