Chapter 56: The Wealthy Zhang Yi

Less than ten minutes after Lin Sijia returned to her room, someone knocked on her door.

A large pot of meat porridge was brought to the table, but it was no longer steaming. Lin Sijia held a bowl and waited nervously at the side.

Zhang Yi sat at the table and began to scoop porridge into everyone’s bowls.

Lin Sijia swallowed her saliva and pointed at the pieces of meat in the porridge, signaling for another piece.

“Doctor Lin, why are you in such a hurry? Haha.”

Zhang Yi blew on the bowl and gulped down a large mouthful of meat porridge. It was no longer hot.

“You guys…I’m not used to it being around all men. I’ll go back to my room to eat.”

Lin Sijia put on a bashful look. As they laughed, she carried the bowl back to her room and locked the door.

No one cared where she was going to eat. At most, they would tease her and say that women were pretentious.

When Lin Sijia carried the bowl back to her room, she immediately put it aside, waiting silently.

She put powdered sleeping pills in the pot. After all, she didn’t have any other medicine on hand.

There was still more than half of the sleeping pills left in the bottle, and she threw them all into the pot.

Lin Sijia was very nervous. She stuck to the door and kept an eye on the outside. After all, the effect of this medicine was not slow. It took about 30 minutes for the effect to show. However, she had never given such a large dose of sleeping pills to people. She did not know if the effect would be faster if the dosage was increased.

As time passed, Lin Sijia was so nervous that she could hear her own heartbeat.

Suddenly, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came from outside.

Success!

Lin Sijia’s heart was filled with joy. She carefully opened the door and saw Zhang Yi and his group, who were lying on the ground. She was delighted and quickly called Ye Xingchen.

“We succeeded! They are all unconscious now! It would take at least seven to eight hours for them to wake up. What should we do next?”

Ye Xingchen was holding a silky chicken leg in his mouth, slowly biting into the meat that had been stewed until it was soft and fragrant.

Oh? He didn’t expect Lin Sijia to move so quickly.

“Turn on the video call. Do whatever I say.”

A video call popped up. Ye Xingchen wiped the oil off his mouth before picking up. Lin Sijia’s face was covered up so tightly that only her eyes could be seen.

“Switch the camera, then tie them up and drag them to the balcony.”

“But…” Lin Sijia was a little hesitant. After all, the temperature was so low now, and they had taken so many sleeping pills. It was very likely that they would lose their lives in their dreams.

“But what? Have you forgotten why he was injured and why you were able to take advantage of him? Put away your worthless sympathy.”

Lin Sijia hesitated for two to three minutes before gritting her teeth and agreeing.

The phone was placed on the table at the side. Lin Sijia took a pair of scissors and dragged out the blanket from the room to cut it into strips. Then, she went over and wrapped their hands and feet several times before tying them up tightly.

After a meal’s worth of time, Lin Sijia dragged the first person to the balcony.

She stopped to catch her breath and saw that Ye Xingchen had already finished his meal and was starting to eat his dessert.

An hour had already passed by the time she dragged the few tall men out to the balcony in one go.

“Alright, now go and check if they have any weapons on them. Take out any pistols, bullets, bows, or knives.”

There were a total of seven daggers, a gun, and two steel pipes.

“No bullets?”

When Lin Sijia searched them with her phone, Ye Xingchen had been staring at them the whole time. However, to Ye Xingchen’s surprise, there was only one pistol among Zhang Yi’s group.

Lin Sijia had never used a gun before, so she didn’t know how many bullets were left in the pistol. However, she didn’t find any extra bullets on Zhang Yi.

“Alright, go and lock the balcony door. Then, go to his room and take a look.”

The snow outside had already reached the height of the second floor, so Zhang Yi and the others all lived on the third floor. They temporarily used the first and second floors as the “basement” for storage.

Unexpectedly, there were no bullets in Zhang Yi’s room.

Ye Xingchen scratched his head and ordered Lin Sijia to go to the first and second floors.

Lin Sijia nodded and was about to leave Zhang Yi’s room when the light above her head suddenly went out.

“Damn. The power supply time is over.”

Lin Sijia frowned. The snow had already covered one-third of the second floor. Without the power supply, the house immediately fell into darkness.

“Turn on the flashlight on your phone and go downstairs to see what Zhang Yi has in stock.”

Ye Xingchen had always been thinking about Zhang Yi’s cars of supplies. It was a pity that he could not go out now. Otherwise, he would definitely take Zhang Yi’s pile of supplies.

He couldn’t take it, but he was still curious.

Lin Sijia held onto the stairs and walked down carefully. She gripped her clothes and suddenly kicked something around the corner, almost making her scream.

“We… We’re here.”

“Yes, let’s see what’s here.”

Lin Sijia stared at Ye Xingchen on the screen. She only dared to look at the object she kicked out of the corner of her eye. She didn’t expect it to be a big wooden box.

“Ah! It’s potatoes!”

Lin Sijia’s eyes lit up from what she saw through the gaps in the wooden box.

“There are 80 boxes of potatoes! Every box is at least half a person tall! Behind…behind them are carrots and 60 boxes of sweet potatoes!”

Walking down the stairs, Lin Sijia held up the flashlight on her phone and saw that the floor was covered with food.

“There are 20 boxes of broccoli and.Jnstant noodles! It is instant noodles!

There are 50 boxes of instant noodles!”

“What is this… Heavens! There are also onions and peppers! ‘Twenty boxes each!”

“One, two, three, four, five…There are 50 boxes of frozen pork and 20 boxes of pumpkins!”

Compared to the average person, Zhang Yi’s stock was indeed sufficient. Ye Xingchen touched his chin. Just now, he really thought that since he couldn’t get through, he might as well let Lin Sijia burn all these things. After all, he didn’t want to let Zhang Yi benefit.

Unfortunately, the power supply had been cut off.

Ye Xingchen rolled his eyes and immediately said to Lin Sijia. “Alright, you’ve searched every corner now, right? Go back to the third floor, leave the door ajar, and come over.”

“You know where my house is, right?”

Ye Xingchen hung up the video call with Lin Sijia and sent a message to Zhao Hao.

“Brother Zhao, if you have time, you can ask a few trusted brothers to go to Zhang Yi’s house to borrow some supplies. Just treat it as a small token of my appreciation. Remember not to spread the news. The supplies are on the first and second floors of his house.”

After sending a message, Ye Xingchen didn’t care whether Zhao Hao saw it or not. He put the bowls and chopsticks in the dishwashing machine and nestled on the sofa, waiting for the arrival of the other tenant of the house..
