Xu Lai thought for a moment and said to Grandpa Xiao, "Grandpa Xiao, I have two good things that can finally be put to use!"
After saying that, Xu Lai returned to her room and took out two electric grids with storage boxes from her spatial storage.
"Let's quickly install these things on the fire door and the connecting corridor door, both of which are blast-proof doors. If they try to break into our blast-proof doors with special tools, we'll electrocute them!"
Everyone else's eyes lit up when they heard this.
"Xu Lai, you guys have prepared so many things, it's like Doraemon's magic pocket, it has everything!"
After hearing what his daughter-in-law (wife) said, Grandpa Xiao and his son also gave Xu Lai a deep look. They increasingly felt that this young lady from the Xu family was no ordinary person.
Seeing the Xiao family's reaction, Xu Jiangming quickly stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Let's hurry up and install it!"
Several men worked together to secure the electric fence to the back of the two explosion-proof doors, the fire door and the connecting corridor door, using high-voltage electrical insulating tape.
The battery box was placed directly against the ground behind the fire door and the connecting corridor door. This position was in a blind spot from the outside, so that it wouldn't be damaged by a single shot.
This way, even if people look from the outside, they won't be able to see what's behind the blast door.
As soon as the electric fence was secured, Xu Lai and the others heard footsteps coming upstairs and exaggerated laughter from those people.
"Oh, it seems they know of our Fifth Brother's reputation and have been waiting for him here all this time!"
A young man with blond hair, who looked unfamiliar, had probably come ahead to scout the situation. When he peered through the gap in the upper part of the fire door and saw the person standing inside staring straight at him, he was almost startled.
When he realized what was happening, he straightened his back and remembered that the man was a junior member of the prestigious Samsung Gang.
"Who is your fifth brother? We don't know any fifth brother!"
Grandpa Xiao disliked these young people who, despite their young age, did not learn good habits and even caused trouble in society.
So when he heard what the blond-haired guy said, he retorted to him in a very unpleasant tone.
"You old man..."
These days, whenever this little blond guy goes to an ordinary family's house with Fifth Brother, every ordinary family member bows and scrapes to them, speaking kindly and flatteringly, afraid of displeasing them.
Hearing the old man's ambiguous words, he was about to burst into a tirade when he heard Fifth Brother's feigned cough behind him.
"Fifth Brother, you've come up here! Please come this way!"
When the blond-haired young man saw that Fifth Brother had arrived, he hurriedly and eagerly gave him the best seat.
The man known as "Fifth Brother" stood in the middle of the fire door.
Standing next to him, Xiong Zhong hurriedly scolded Old Master Xiao: "Have you heard of the Samsung Gang? It's the number one gang in our City C. This Brother Zhang Xiaowu is one of the members of the Samsung Gang. If you two know what's good for you, you'd better give us some compensation and then pack your bags and get out of Jinxiu Mansion!"
"Xiong Zhong, is this yet another accomplice you've brought in?"
From the moment Zhang Xiaowu appeared outside the fire door, Xu Lai, who had been standing with her arms crossed, ready to watch the show, unconsciously lowered her hands and clenched her fists, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes filled with resentment.
Even if Zhang Xiaowu turned to ashes, Xu Lai would still recognize him, let alone have heard of him.
In his previous life, Xiong Zhong colluded with Zhang Xiaowu, a small-time thug in the Samsung Gang, and with the help of the Samsung Gang, he and his underlings forcibly occupied the entire territory of the eighteen buildings of Jinxiu Haoting.
At that time, in order to curry favor with the eldest son of the Jinxiu Mansion, Xu Zhen's family directly gave her and her younger brother to this beast.
This beast and his henchmen publicly humiliated her and her brother.
These days of torment continued for several months until the flood disaster ended and the troops that went downstream to provide support returned to City C.
Then an extreme heat disaster struck, and City C, which hadn't even had time to catch its breath, descended into chaos once again.
The starving Xu Zhen family cut flesh from the siblings' mouths with knives, ultimately causing them to die from the excruciating pain.
Bringing his thoughts back to reality, Zhang Xiaowu was definitely doomed for the rest of his life.
As for how he should die, Xu Lai decided to give him a taste of his own medicine.
"Hmph! I'll let you have your fun for a few more days!" Xu Lai thought to herself.
Xu Lai looked away from Zhang Xiaowu and noticed that Wang Cai was also standing guard outside the corridor door with a group of thugs from the building's management office.
It seems they're determined to achieve their goal today!
"Look at what you're saying, this is just my fifth brother showing concern for me, his younger brother, and coming to vent his anger for me!"
Despite being older than Zhang Xiaowu, he referred to himself as the younger brother in front of him. This obsequious manner made Xu Jiangming and the old man unable to help but call him a "spineless coward".
Zhang Xiaowu seemed to thoroughly enjoy being showered with praise and adulation by everyone.
He raised his head and coldly glanced at the eight people inside the fire door. When he saw Xu Lai, Xu Chao, and Li Qingya, he looked them over for a few seconds before changing his mind.
"If you don't want to move out, fine, just hand over all your valuables that you've hoarded, and then..."
Hearing the man pause after saying "then," Xu Lai guessed that this beast was about to utter something nice.
Sure enough, his next sentence was: "You, you, you, if you three were willing to take the initiative to serve us brothers, you could stay here..."
Xu Lai, Li Qingya, and Xu Chao were unfazed by the beast's words; they had heard all sorts of things in the past six months.
However, the two elders, Grandpa Xiao and Grandpa Xu, couldn't stand it anymore.
"Bullshit! What are you daydreaming about in front of my house, you beast!"
"You dare to act tough in front of me? Back when I was fighting bandits, you bunch of beasts were probably still waiting to be reincarnated somewhere."
The two old men, their voices booming like thunder, pointed their fingers at Zhang Xiaowu and Xiong Zhong's noses and began to berate them.
"What sins did your parents commit to give birth to people like you, who wear human skin but are actually worse than animals!"
Zhang Xiaowu and Xiong Zhong were both furious when they heard the two old men scolding them.
"Looks like you guys are asking for it! Brothers, break down this door!"
At his command, Zhang Xiaowu stepped back a few paces, allowing his underlings carrying heavy tools to come forward.
Upon seeing this, Xiong Zhong first launched into a tirade of profanities at the people inside the fire door, then retreated arrogantly to Zhang Xiaowu's side.
"Looks like these bastards came prepared today!"
