Chapter 230: Defiant Jiang Ran — Who Even Locks Their Windows at Night?!
Domineering Female CEO: ["Since he came from outside, what does he want to do? Steal something?"]
["But Jiang Ran isn't a rich man either?"]
I am the Hero: ["You'll understand if you keep watching."]
In front of Room 304.
Huang Kaiyu, who couldn't pick the lock, didn't give up. Carrying the food delivery, he returned to the first floor.
The first floor was still empty, with no one else around.
Huang Kaiyu scanned the area and spotted the manager's office.
Whether by luck or not, he saw a large bunch of keys lying on the desk inside the manager's office.
Many of them were keys to various room numbers.
Huang Kaiyu looked around carefully for a while longer, then pushed and found that the glass window could be opened. After pushing it open, he seized the opportunity to commit a petty theft. He got his hands on that large bunch of keys.
"What kind of apartment is this? So trashy, with absolutely no security awareness," Huang Kaiyu muttered under his breath.
Then, he returned to the front of Room 304.
From the large bunch of keys, he found the key for Room 304.
He inserted the Room 304 key into the smart lock keyhole of Room 304's security door.
However, the expected outcome did not occur.
Huang Kaiyu discovered that after inserting the key, he couldn't turn it.
"The door is locked from the inside?"
"No way, who locks their door from the inside when sleeping at night?"
Naturally, Huang Kaiyu had no knowledge of the thought process of Jiang Ran, who was already asleep inside.
Ever since discovering that the Danger Warning System alerts were real,
and that the entire apartment building was full of dangerous individuals,
if he didn't lock the door from the inside at night, he would feel completely unsafe while sleeping.
Having no other choice, Huang Kaiyu went back to the first floor and returned the large bunch of keys.
He then walked out of the apartment building, still not giving up.
He returned to his electric scooter.
He placed the now-cold food delivery back into the delivery box and opened the storage compartment cover of the electric scooter.
He took out that object which resembled a black toolbox.
Carrying this black toolbox, he circled around the apartment building until he found the side where Jiang Ran's Room 304 was located.
Sure enough, looking up from below, Jiang Ran's home was pitch black;
he should be asleep.
Huang Kaiyu also observed the neighboring units above, below, and to the sides of Jiang Ran's apartment for a while,
as well as the external structure of this building.
Then, he was seen opening his black toolbox.
Inside this black toolbox were only three types of tools:
a hammer, a pair of pliers, and a pair of scissors.
He fastened all three tools to his waist.
Then he walked up to the front of this side of the building.
As if having made up his mind, he began to climb.
Huang Kaiyu was very agile. Following the air conditioning pipes and some uneven protrusions on the building's exterior, he quickly climbed to the third floor.
First, on this side of Jiang Ran's home, the areas with windows were the bathroom, the balcony, and the bedroom.
Huang Kaiyu first wanted to enter through the bathroom window.
But after pushing the window, he found it was locked.
So, he carefully moved over to the balcony window.
After trying many times, he found the balcony window was also locked.
He then moved to his last hope, the bedroom window.
After trying it, he, who had almost never sworn before, suddenly couldn't help but open his mouth and curse:
"F*** my life!"
"Blocking all the windows at night, be careful of a gas leak poisoning you to death!!!"
Cursing was one thing, but he still needed to get inside.
He reached for his waist.
He picked up the hammer.
The hammer wasn't big, just the kind you could hold in one hand.
It seemed he was preparing to simply smash the window and go in to kill Jiang Ran.
Even though this action would alert the target,
there was no other way.
At this moment, he pressed his face against the window.
Before smashing it, he took a final look at the situation inside the bedroom.
In the dark bedroom, he could see the number 20 displayed on the air conditioner hanging on the wall.
Then, because Jiang Ran hadn't drawn the curtains, moonlight shone through the window.
Huang Kaiyu could vaguely make out Jiang Ran sleeping soundly under the covers on the bed.
Huang Kaiyu prepared to smash the window, but before doing so, he had one final step.
He took several deep breaths.
Using deep breathing to relieve pressure and ease tension.
Actually, if this were his first time doing something like this, he would definitely feel pressure and tension.
But the reality was completely opposite;
he had done this kind of thing countless times.
He remembered the time before last when he climbed up to the fifth floor and killed a cat abuser who tortured cats.
Therefore, having done it many times, the so-called pressure and tension each time was minimal.
There was no real need for deep breathing;
the reason he still used it now was purely out of habit.
At this moment, Huang Kaiyu, after taking deep breaths, gripped the hammer tightly in his right hand, pulled his arm back, and began gathering force frantically.
He aimed to shatter the window in one hit.
Just like that, he swung the hammer violently towards the window glass, hitting it on the corner.
*Crack!*
The sound was quite loud.
Unless someone was an extremely heavy sleeper,
normally, anyone would wake up in this situation.
Jiang Ran was no exception.
Awakened by the sound, he sat up in bed.
His face in the darkness was full of confusion.
What's going on?
He instinctively looked around.
Then he saw what seemed to be a dark figure outside the bedroom window, swinging something and smashing the window.
Another *crack!* sounded.
Frightened, Jiang Ran quickly reached for his phone, turned on the flashlight, and shone it towards the window.
He saw a person wearing a helmet, a black face mask, and a purple Lightning Delivery uniform, holding an iron hammer and smashing the window glass.
Having just woken up, Jiang Ran's mind wasn't fully clear yet;
he was in a groggy state.
His first reaction upon seeing this scene was:
I didn't order any delivery!
His second reaction was: Could it be that someone else ordered delivery for me?
And then this delivery guy knocked, but I was sleeping too deeply to answer, so the delivery guy, in a fit of anger,
is smashing my window to deliver the food to me?!
"Damn, no! What am I thinking?!"
The next second, Jiang Ran realized what nonsense his brain was concocting.
The Danger Warning System in his mind had been alerting him for who knows how long!
How could the person in front of him possibly be a delivery guy?
What delivery guy delivers food to you through your bedroom window?
And by smashing the glass, no less!
The money earned from one delivery wouldn't even cover the damages!
Especially since his home was on the third floor!!!
The person in front of him was clearly a thief!! Or someone here for some other purpose!
Thinking of this, Jiang Ran directly got out of bed, then skillfully went to the bedroom door and turned on the light.
Instantly, the entire bedroom became perfectly clear.
Both Jiang Ran and Huang Kaiyu could see each other's every move clearly.
By this time, Jiang Ran saw that Huang Kaiyu had already smashed a large hole in the window and was preparing to climb in.
Meanwhile, Huang Kaiyu saw Jiang Ran suddenly run to the side of the bed.
Huang Kaiyu thought to himself, is this guy going to call the police?
It's a pity it's too late.
You'll be dead before the police arrive.
Thinking this, Huang Kaiyu saw Jiang Ran bend down and squat.
Huang Kaiyu thought Jiang Ran had a screw loose;
was he really planning to hide under the bed at a time like this?
Otherwise, why would he squat down now?!
However, in the next second, he saw Jiang Ran stand up.
Then, tightly gripped in Jiang Ran's hands was a very long, red fire axe with a long handle.
