The man was about 40 years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
His facial features were quite regular, but his face was covered with wrinkles and drooped in an exaggerated way, just like a Shar Pei dog.
After he entered the 32nd floor, he looked around with vigilance, and then stretched out his hand to make a stop sign to the fire door.
Seeing this, Jiang Yan frowned.
It seemed that the other party had quite a few accomplices.
But she decided to wait and see.
On the other side, there was no movement in Sun Jingtao's room.
It was stormy outside, but the noise probably woke them up, and maybe they were standing behind the door and observing through the cat's eye.
Although the corridor was pitch black, they didn't have infrared surveillance cameras like themselves, so they couldn't see people clearly, but they could always distinguish human figures.
The square-faced man was already crouching and quietly walking towards the door of room 3203. Room
3203 was originally occupied by He Chunmei's family. After their family died, the door had been left open.
Because of fear of Jiang Yan and Sun Jingtao, this house is also considered a "haunted house", and no one dared to move to the 32nd floor for the time being.
But the items inside had actually been moved out by the people downstairs like ants moving houses in the middle of the night.
At first, everyone only took food, water, paper towels, sheets, quilts, clothes, pots and pans, etc.
Later, more and more people lived in the corridor, and even bed frames, tables, chairs, benches and other things that could be burned were moved down.
At this moment, the house was empty, and it was clear what was inside.
In less than half a minute, the man came out.
After glancing around as usual, he waved to the fire door.
Soon, three middle-aged people, a man, two women, and a little girl who looked about six or seven years old walked in step by step.
The little girl held a lifebuoy for a little duck and a little swan in each hand, and carried a schoolbag full of miscellaneous supplies on her back. She seemed to have not woken up, and her tired little face looked a little confused.
The remaining men were also bald, but their skin was not as wrinkled, and their bodies were thinner and shorter.
The two women had short hair that was unevenly layered and reached their ears. Their heads were slightly drooped, and they looked very tired.
The three of them were carrying a large package tied with a bed sheet on their backs, and they were holding a lot of things in their hands.
Several people quickly filed into 3203.
But after a few seconds, four adults came out.
They tiptoed downstairs quickly.
Jiang Yan guessed that they were moving the remaining supplies.
She didn't really care about other people moving up to live here.
It was something that was expected.
To put it bluntly, as long as they didn't pose a threat to her, everyone's words and deeds had nothing to do with her.
Most importantly, the house was not hers.
Jiang Yan glanced at the time. It was exactly four o'clock in the morning.
About twenty minutes later, the four people appeared at the fire door again with a bunch of things in their hands.
One by one, their faces were red and they were panting.
As usual, the four people walked quickly towards 3203.
At this moment, the door of room 3204 opened with a creak.
Sun Jingtao and Ye Qing came out.
Su Dai followed them, holding an alcohol lamp used for heating in the laboratory.
There was wind in the corridor, and the flame swayed left and right. She quickly raised one hand to block it temporarily.
The four people who were about to enter 3203 paused and stared at each other.
"Fatty." The thinner and younger man looked at the square-faced man and hesitated to speak.
The square-faced man motioned the remaining three to go in first, then he put down the supplies in his hand, took a step closer to Sun Jingtao and the other two, and said:
"Sorry, three of you, I disturbed you in the middle of the night." After he finished speaking, he paused, saw Sun Jingtao looking at the broken chain on the ground, and hurriedly said:
"I broke the chain, and I just found it in the supplies I found. I will go and lock it again in a while."
After listening to his words, the remaining three did not go in, but put the supplies in their hands on the ground.
The three people's expressions were obviously not as calm as the square-faced man, but they still stood behind him, staring at Sun Jingtao and the other two opposite with trembling eyes.
Jiang Yan then noticed that the younger of the two women had a slightly protruding belly.
In the past, you could say that she might be fat and have a small belly or something.
But now in such a situation of lack of food and clothing, the other party is skinny and obviously pregnant.
The other one had red and swollen eyes and tear marks on his face, probably because he had cried loudly before.
Both of them were in bad condition, not only looking haggard and weak, but also depressed.
Sun Jingtao did not respond to his words, but glanced at the few people with vigilance and said lightly: "Who are you?"
They locked the door before to prevent Ma Longbiao's group from attacking in the middle of the night.
But the few people in front of them, with their families, were obviously normal people.
The three of them were not rude and arrogant, and they would not occupy the entire 32nd floor.
While talking, Sun Jingtao was also observing the few people with the weak light.
The light was very weak, but it was better than nothing.
But he could still roughly see the appearance of the few people, and he did not know them.
Looking at Ye Qing and Su Dai, they also shook their heads.
Sun Jingtao thought quickly in his mind and came to two conclusions:
First, these people are not old residents of Building A in Repulse Bay.
Second, the few people were either temporary tenants or they moved here temporarily from other buildings or other places.
But seeing that their clothes were not wet, they were probably tenants.
"Our two families are co-tenants of 1803 on the 18th floor. When my wife got up tonight, she found that the water level was about to reach the 17th floor. It was very dangerous, so we had no choice but to pack up the supplies at home and move them up overnight."
After the man finished speaking, he reached out and touched his nose subconsciously.
Jiang Yan frowned.
The water level of the second wave of heavy rain rose so fast. It hasn't even passed for one night.
But it's not easy for her to turn on the light to check now. It's
pitch black all around, and it's too dazzling to turn on the flashlight at this moment.
The man smiled awkwardly and continued:
"Brother, if I'm not mistaken, you should be Sun Jingtao, right? We have all heard of your names downstairs, and we also know that the guy in 3201 and you three are all capable people.
Our two families are also migrant workers who came to Anming from the countryside. We are also very honest and decent. After moving here, we will definitely not cause any trouble for you."
The man paused, and seeing that the three people opposite were silent, he continued:
"I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Zhou Wei. You can also call me Fatty or Fatty Zhou.
Although I have passively lost weight now, I was really fat before, and I'm used to this nickname.
And that's my wife Wang Jiamei, that's my fellow villager Wang Jin, and that's his wife Wen Wanli."
"There's nothing wrong with you moving up to live, but you could have knocked on the door, why did you break the lock?" Su Dai behind him suddenly spoke.
