Chapter 229: Huang Kaiyu Hunts Jiang Ran
Upon hearing this, the man and woman knew this man named Huang Kaiyu was absolutely not joking, because on the other side of this single-story house, there was indeed a large meat grinder...
"Huang Kaiyu! This is murder! If I die! I'll haunt you even as a ghost!!!!"
Seeing no hope of rescue, the man stopped begging and pleading meekly. Instead, he directly cursed and swore vengeance.
While cursing, due to his agitated emotions and physical exertion, his hanging body swung back and forth.
Huang Kaiyu sneered coldly: "Haunt me as a ghost? Don't worry, you're not the first one to say that."
"Those people who liked abusing animals before also said they'd come find me as ghosts."
"But why haven't you come yet?"
Huang Kaiyu continued: "You people are just beasts."
"And I am justice. Justice never fears beasts like you."
The man spat a thick glob of phlegm onto the ground: "Hahaha! You're justice? Are you crazy? Playing what underground judge?!"
"Let me tell you, animals like cats and dogs are just lower creatures, meant for human entertainment!"
"So, what's wrong with me killing them?"
"Huang Kaiyu! I'm telling you! You'd better kill me today, otherwise, if you give me a chance, I'll slaughter every single cat and dog in your entire courtyard!!!!"
While the man was shouting curses, the woman kept crying remorsefully beside him.
Her regret wasn't about abusing cats, but that they had fallen for Huang Kaiyu's trap.
She and her boyfriend both enjoyed torturing and killing small animals.
Especially cats.
They often shared their experiences online with like-minded people in certain app group chats.
Or met up offline.
This time, they were tricked by Huang Kaiyu during an offline gathering.
Of course, it wasn't their first offline gathering that got them caught;
it happened after several meetings over quite some time. One could only say this Huang Kaiyu was playing a long game to catch a big fish.
Next, this couple would pay the ultimate price for their long-standing behavior.
Huang Kaiyu approached them step by step with a knife.
Both their faces showed uncontrollable terror.
From 6:40 PM until 8:30 PM.
The single-story house was filled with an overwhelmingly thick smell of blood.
Huang Kaiyu stood before the black large meat grinder inside the house.
His nostrils were full of the heavy metallic scent.
His ears were filled with the roaring sound of the machine.
Inside the meat grinder were the man and woman, their bodies being ground into pieces bit by bit.
The couple had long been dead beyond any doubt.
Of course, they shouldn't feel too sad, as they weren't the first people Huang Kaiyu had killed and turned into cat or dog food.
Next, Huang Kaiyu didn't stay to wait.
He still had tasks assigned by Lucas to complete.
He returned to the house where he usually lived, first taking a hot shower.
Then, he changed out of his blood-soaked clothes.
After that, he took out that kraft paper envelope.
He carefully read through it again.
Inside the envelope were several photos of Jiang Ran.
Along with his home address.
All obtained by Lucas.
In this era of massive information leaks, doxxing someone is incredibly easy.
For example, there are frequent cases online where people offend certain idol fan groups, get doxxed, and suffer various forms of cyberbullying.
After reading it, Huang Kaiyu burned these materials.
Then, he went to a room on the second floor of the courtyard.
In this room.
He changed into a Lightning Delivery rider uniform.
Took a Lightning Delivery thermal bag.
Additionally, he retrieved something that looked like a black toolbox from another room.
He started heading downstairs.
After reaching the courtyard, he placed the delivery bag on the footrest of his gray electric scooter.
The toolbox-like object was placed inside the storage compartment.
Then, he put on a helmet and a black face mask.
Left his home.
Arriving in the city, he first ordered a delivery for himself.
But he didn't eat it;
instead, after receiving the order, he placed it inside the delivery bag.
Directly followed the navigation, riding to Alice Apartment.
Checked the time.
It was almost 10 PM now.
The area around Alice Apartment was completely silent.
He rode his electric scooter and stopped in front of the main gate of Alice Apartment.
Knocked on the security guard booth's glass.
To be honest, Huang Kaiyu didn't know if Alice Apartment allowed delivery riders to enter directly.
After all, some high-end apartments or compounds don't permit delivery personnel inside.
If he couldn't enter, he would need to find another way in.
After he knocked on the glass, the window was pulled open from inside.
The moment it opened, a blast of cold air rushed out.
The security booth must have had air conditioning running.
"What do you want?"
Security guard Xiao Xing asked Huang Kaiyu.
Besides Xiao Xing, there was another young security guard on night duty today.
The two seemed to be playing some game together, probably duo queueing.
From how Xiao Xing kept looking back at his phone and tapping the screen even after opening the window, it was clear the game had reached an intense phase.
"Delivery guy."
Huang Kaiyu's voice was calm.
"Oh oh, go right in!"
Xiao Xing didn't think much of it, as Alice Apartment always allowed delivery and courier personnel to enter.
Therefore, he directly pressed a button, opening the pedestrian gate that normally required facial recognition, allowing Huang Kaiyu to enter.
Huang Kaiyu's masked face showed neither joy nor sorrow.
He returned to his electric scooter and rode straight in.
After entering.
He parked his scooter in a shadowy area beside the building, not directly in front of the apartment entrance.
At this moment, he carried the delivery he had ordered himself.
Walked into the apartment building.
Passed through the glass automatic sensor door.
After passing through, he found the first floor pitch black.
He stomped his foot on the ground, and immediately the voice-controlled lights turned on.
He scanned left and right, finding no one on the first floor.
He didn't pay it any mind.
Took the elevator, following the address for Jiang Ran provided by Lucas.
Reached the third floor, outside Jiang Ran's door.
Now, in front of Room 304.
He didn't knock directly.
Instead, he first pressed his ear against the security door, listening for a while. There seemed to be no sound inside.
Then he checked for light through the door crack;
there didn't seem to be any light either.
"Sleeping this early?"
"Looks like I can't just knock and kill him when he opens the door."
Huang Kaiyu spoke while placing the delivery bag on the ground, then pulled a piece of wire from his pants pocket.
It seemed he planned to pick the lock, enter Jiang Ran's home, and then deal with Jiang Ran.
But his lock-picking skills were clearly not up to par.
After working on it for quite a while, he still couldn't open it.
So he simply gave up.
Meanwhile, in the live stream room.
I'm Actually a Girl: [Who is this delivery guy? Holy crap, I saw this delivery guy reach Jiang Ran's door, I thought Jiang Ran had ordered delivery. But then, I checked the cameras myself and found Jiang Ran in his bedroom, with AC on, already asleep...]
Fairy Sister: [Maybe someone else ordered it for him, without telling him.]
I'm Actually a Girl: [Someone else ordered it? Then why isn't this delivery guy knocking or ringing the doorbell, but instead using a wire to pick the lock? That's just ridiculous...]
Fairy Sister: [Haha, just joking.]
Fairy Sister: [But jokes aside, who is this person? A resident of the apartment?]
Domineering Female CEO: [Can't see his face, not sure.]
I am the Hero: [Probably not an apartment resident, came from outside.]
[Although the stream automatically switched to this exciting scene, by the time it switched, this delivery guy was already at Jiang Ran's door.]
But luckily, I've always liked randomly switching camera views before, and by chance, I switched to the main gate camera feed and happened to see this delivery guy riding in from outside the apartment.
