Huang Shouzu had never been treated like this by a passerby before. He patiently pinned Chuanliu against the wall and gave him what he thought was a cool wall slam, saying, "Little brother, I'll give you one last chance. If you agree, this room is yours. If you don't agree, I can only say sorry."
He pointed to the room that was originally sold to Xiao Li.
"Huh? Brother Huang, then I..."
Xiao Li anxiously tried to interject, but was stopped by a fierce glare from Huang Shouzu. His attention was completely drawn to Chuan Liu, and he revealed a determined look in his eyes.
Just as the tense standoff was about to begin, Chuanliu let out a soft sigh. This action led Huang Shouzu to mistakenly believe that his authority had subdued the other party, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up, revealing a smug smile.
However, the next second, Chuanliu moved like a fish gliding through a gap, instantly escaping from the narrow space between Huang Shouzu and the wall.
Immediately afterward, before Huang Shouzu could react, she delivered a precise and powerful punch, striking the most vulnerable spot on his arm that was supporting him against the wall.
With a "crack," accompanied by Huang Shouzu's scream, his arm was too weak to bend due to excruciating pain.
The man lost his balance and his head slammed heavily against the wall with a loud thud.
The incident happened so suddenly that Xiao Li witnessed it all, his lips twitching several times as he tried hard to suppress his laughter.
Huang Shouzu's face was filled with shock and anger. By the time he came to his senses, the culprit had already fled into the depths of the corridor, leaving behind a series of hurried footsteps.
"You bastard, chase after him! If you catch him, I'll give you a 50% discount on your rent!" He yelled at Xiao Li, clutching his aching arm, his anger and embarrassment palpable.
The two then followed the trail of the flowing water and plunged into the intricate corridor.
Chuanliu has a habit of remembering all the places she has been to.
Therefore, even when driving into narrow, dirty, and chaotic non-residential areas, she can accurately turn before a dead end.
Even Huang Shouzu, who had lived on the second floor for several years, could not do this.
"Where did he run off to? How could that kid run so fast?" Huang Shouzu shouted as he chased after him, his voice echoing in the quiet corridor.
"There! Go after him!" He suddenly pointed to a corner and shouted loudly to Xiao Li, who was closer.
"Once I catch him, I'll teach him a lesson he won't forget, a lesson he won't forget!"
"..."
Huang Shouzu's shouts quickly echoed throughout the second floor, penetrating every tightly closed door.
Most of the residents in the rooms recognized Brother Huang's voice. Having been oppressed by him for a long time, they dared not cause any trouble and chose to stay indoors to avoid getting into trouble.
Some doors quietly opened a crack, and people peeked out, their faces filled with gossip. They watched this sudden "show" with the air of bystanders. But most people quickly retreated after hearing Huang Shouzu's threat, fearing they would become the next target.
Several people who usually didn't get along with Huang Shouzu not only didn't hide, but instead stood in the corridor, whistling and cheering him on.
The matter escalated, leaving Huang Shouzu in an awkward position.
He could have turned a blind eye before, but now that everyone knows, if he doesn't catch that kid and punish him, he can forget about staying on the second floor in the future.
A murderous glint flashed in his eyes, and he quickened his pace.
In the lobby on the second floor, the number of onlookers, encouraged by others, continued to grow.
At this moment, Chuanliu was calculating his parkour route.
To get through security, Chuanliu had nothing on her except a bank card and two ID tags. Frankly, if she had had a weapon from the start, the solution might have been different.
Since this Brother Huang has no intention of letting things go, let's make a big scene.
For her, the more chaotic, the better.
She didn't believe that Huang Shouzu was the only person on the second floor who still had his identity card.
As long as there are other people around, they will try to take any opportunity to get rid of him and then become the sole leader.
That's just human nature.
After keeping the two behind him occupied for another five minutes, Chuanliu saw that there were already enough people watching the spectacle, so he intentionally led them towards the main hall.
At this moment, the people in the hall split into several groups, some watching the outcome of the chase with schadenfreude, while others chatted idly with their companions.
Until a figure as swift as the wind appeared in the hall, followed by two panting tails.
Everyone's interest was piqued, and their eyes turned to the three people.
Huang Shouzu pulled out a hammer from somewhere and charged menacingly towards Chuanliu.
Chuanliu continued speaking in ventriloquism, his mouth opening and closing as he said, "Brother Huang, I've already said it, I don't want to be with you. Forced relationships are never sweet!"
The entire audience looked on with sudden realization. So this was the conflict between them. They thought it was something serious, but it turned out that Huang Shouzu wanted to force himself on someone.
It seems that the young man who spoke rejected Huang Shouzu's advances, so Huang Shouzu, along with another man, chased him all over the building.
The crowd scoffed: "Huang Shouzu has been on Paradise Island for so many years, how come he doesn't have a single screwdriver?"
And what role does the other man play?
Chuanliu secretly observed everyone's reactions, pointed at Xiao Li, and continued to complain bitterly: "Brother Huang, you and he have already built your love nest, so why do you want me to move in too? No wonder they say you fall in love with every girl you see!"
At this point, Chuanliu suddenly frowned slightly, but the frown vanished in an instant.
She sensed a gaze from the crowd, different from the others, directed at her, but when she glanced at it out of the corner of her eye, the gaze seemed to vanish.
At this moment, the audience, who had been somewhat drowsy, perked up.
Oh! It's another cliché love triangle.
After the main city of Plum Blossom was locked down, they were incredibly bored. They weren't about to miss this rare opportunity. Everyone watched with even greater interest.
Huang Shouzu's face turned pale and then purple. What was originally a trivial matter had become distorted after this person spoke of it.
Some people in the crowd who usually disliked Huang Shouzu started to jeer, "Brother Huang, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. You're usually so serious, but you're so wild in private, hahahahaha."
Everyone burst into laughter, which made Huang Shouzu even angrier.
He was furious, his face flushed, and he roared as he explained, "That kid is talking nonsense! Don't listen to him!"
However, the more he explained, the more suspicious things became, and the way people looked at him became even more meaningful.
The large and powerful crowd fueled Huang Shouzu's burning anger, which he had nowhere to vent. In the end, all his anger was channeled into an attack on Chuanliu alone.
