Great, It’s the Pervy Neighbor. We’re Doomed

"These old bastards, just wait until I inherit my father's shares! I'll make sure they regret crossing me!"

"And that damned father of mine - if he wanted to die, he should have done it properly! What's this nonsense about disappearing?!"

Zhou Wu drove back to Alice Apartment in a rage. His car got stuck outside the automatic barrier gate.

His Mercedes-Benz had been registered with Alice Apartment's system, so the barrier would automatically open when it arrived. But this Maybach was visiting Alice Apartment for the first time and hadn't been registered yet.

Though he'd owned the car for several days, he'd spent all that time using it to pick up women instead of returning home. What about being engaged? Who said engaged men couldn't see other women?

Impatient, Zhou Wu leaned on the horn for a full ten seconds, the loud "beep beep beep" echoing continuously. But the barrier arm remained stubbornly down.

Already in a foul mood, Zhou Wu grew even angrier at this delay. He rolled down his window and stuck his head out, bellowing toward the luxurious security booth to his left:

"Are you all dead or what?"

"I've been honking forever and this damn thing won't open!"

"Where the hell are you people? Are you all deaf?!" Though crude, his shouting had an effect. Soon, a young man in his twenties emerged from the security booth.

The young man had average looks and wore a security uniform. What stood out most was the brilliant smile plastered across his face - as if he'd just won the lottery jackpot.

"Hello sir, my apologies. I heard you but couldn't open the gate right away - I was using the restroom," the young man explained cheerfully.

Normally, Zhou Wu would have let such an explanation slide - everyone has bodily needs. But in his current furious state, he immediately tore into the young guard:

"Using the toilet? What about the other guards? Don't tell me they're all taking a shit too?!"

"You're all taking our residents' money while slacking off! Believe me, I'll file a complaint and get your ass fired!"

"Terribly sorry, sir. The other guards are all on patrol with Captain Gao. I'm the only one here right now," the young man replied, his smile never faltering, as if it had been borrowed and he was reluctant to return it.

Zhou Wu glared. "Enough! Just open the damn gate already!"

The young guard remained pleasant. "Of course. Please just complete this visitor vehicle registration first."

This request detonated Zhou Wu's temper like a bomb. Spittle flew from his mouth onto the young guard's face as he screamed:

"Are you mentally deficient?!"

"I'm a resident here! This Maybach is mine! Why the hell would I need visitor registration?!"

"I'm reporting you for sure! No common sense at all! Couldn't you tell I'm a resident from how I was talking?!"

As the young guard endured this tirade, a muscular security guard in his thirties noticed the commotion and hurried over. It was Captain Gao.

After assessing the situation, Captain Gao immediately apologized to Zhou Wu: "Our deepest apologies, sir. This young man is new and hasn't memorized all our residents' information yet. Let me get that gate open for you right away."

Captain Gao practically kowtowed to Zhou Wu as he ushered him through. Even after passing through, Zhou Wu deliberately paused his car, leaning out the window to shout:

"Next time, you're fired!!!"

Then his car disappeared around a corner.

Once Zhou Wu was gone, Captain Gao simply said, "I'll continue my patrol. You stay at the booth." He didn't reprimand the young guard over the incident before leaving on his rounds.

Now alone, the young guard looked up at the sky - a brilliant blue with layers of white clouds like a thousand waves. He smiled broadly at the heavens:

"Mom... I saw someone discard their smile again today..."

Live Stream Room:

Ultimate Rich Kid: [What day is it in Round 26?]

Middle-aged Uncle: [Day 4.]

Ultimate Rich Kid: [So three more days excluding today! I heard from the martial arts expert that last round's lab rats died super fast - one even kicked it during the welcome party! How come no one's died yet this round after four days?]

Middle-aged Uncle: [Not that nothing's happened - just no deaths yet. Three are already under control, leaving only Jiang Ran and Zhou Wu still free.]

[Currently, Jiang Ran and Zhou Wu have the best odds of surviving this round. But Zhou Wu just had that altercation with a security guard - might be trouble brewing.]

Ultimate Rich Kid: [Who is that guard anyway? You know him?]

Middle-aged Uncle: [Never seen him before. Probably another new psycho criminal!]

Ultimate Rich Kid checked the guard's profile provided by the stream and complained: [This young guard's profile is as barebones as Su Mi's! Just says: 'A person who loves to smile'?]

Middle-aged Uncle: [Sometimes the simpler, the more dangerous.]

Just then, Fairy Sister @'d Ultimate Rich Kid: [Rich Boy, you're always in this stream - don't you have anything better to do?]

Ultimate Rich Kid: [This stream's too good! Everything else can wait. I'm even ignoring my girlfriend.]

Little Aunt: [I was the same when I first started watching. This stream really hooks you. I was obsessed for ages.]

After parking, Zhou Wu returned to Room 404 where his fiancée Shen Xing greeted him with a hug and kiss. Noticing his dark expression, she asked what was wrong. When he explained about the factory shareholders blocking him from taking over his father's position, Shen Xing immediately deployed her girlfriend skills to comfort him, gradually easing his anger.

As a wealthy second-generation heir, Zhou Wu had dated many beautiful women. Why did he ultimately choose Shen Xing as his fiancée? Simple reasons:

1. Shen Xing had top-tier looks and figure - mandatory requirements for any girlfriend.
2. Shen Xing excelled at providing emotional support.
3. Shen Xing was smart and knew her place. Even if she caught Zhou Wu dating others, she'd pretend not to notice - giving him absolute freedom.

Thus Zhou Wu chose Shen Xing. Maybe she wasn't the most beautiful woman he'd dated, but considering all factors combined, she was undoubtedly number one. She just made him comfortable.

Like now - when those shareholders had him boiling with rage, Shen Xing immediately became the perfect soothing presence to cool him down.
