Chapter 1405 - 559: Jiang Wei’s Trouble—Years Away, Status Unchanged

The Mercedes car sped through the night.

High-rise buildings and streetlights on both sides kept fading into the distance. The city’s prosperity sometimes gives people a certain sense of crisis, as everyone fears being eliminated by this thriving city.

Zhou Can and Jiang Wei communicated through casual conversation.

Despite having worked together for almost two months, Zhou Can didn’t know much about her.

This exchange gave him a lot of new insights about her.

"I’ve arrived at my neighborhood!"

Jiang Wei pointed to the upscale neighborhood beside them.

Century New City could barely be considered a high-end neighborhood; compared to the three properties Zhou Can bought by Bajing Lake, it was at least a grade lower.

This neighborhood’s architectural style was mainly Western castle and mansions. Upon entering, its layout and scenery were reminiscent of the developed world of Western countries. As a result, it was popular with some overseas students and people who idolize the West.

This also made the property prices in the neighborhood quite astounding, with the initial price exceeding sixteen thousand.

At its peak, the prices reached twenty-one thousand.

Later, as the hype faded, the housing prices gradually decreased, and currently, second-hand homes in the neighborhood were generally listed at around fifteen thousand.

"Do you need me to see you inside?"

Zhou Can considered that as a girl, she might inevitably feel scared late at night. Escorting her to the building entrance was rather gentlemanly.

"No need, I often come home at night and am used to it. Drive slowly, see you tomorrow!"

She waved with a smile.

"Go ahead inside!"

After hearing about some of her struggles, Zhou Can felt that this girl truly had it tough.

He admired her immensely in his heart.

From an ordinary university, she successfully got an admission letter from a top overseas university, an effort unimaginable to most.

"Mm! Thank you!"

She seemed to appreciate Zhou Can’s concern, nodded, and walked toward the neighborhood.

Usually, upscale neighborhoods have separate paths for pedestrians and vehicles, but this one didn’t.

She walked directly into the neighborhood along the sidewalk beside the sentry box, without any inquiry or greeting from the security guard.

The security guards in this kind of neighborhood seemed to be just going through the motions.

After watching her go in, Zhou Can started reversing, turned around, and slowly drove towards the road outside.

Just after driving a short distance, his phone screen lit up, followed by vibrations.

A call was coming in.

Looking down, it was Jiang Wei’s call.

Could she have forgotten her keys?

After answering, he heard the sound of hurried running from the other end, as if someone was running in a stairwell.

It sounded like someone was quickly coming downstairs.

"Let’s see where you run to!"

"You two take the elevator down to block her, don’t let this bitch escape!"

An angry male voice came from the other end.

Jiang Wei didn’t say a word from start to finish.

She must have intentionally called Zhou Can to let him hear what was happening and help by calling the police to rescue her.

Saving a life is as urgent as fighting a fire. Zhou Can immediately turned the car around and drove straight back to the entrance of Century New City.

After blocking the exit with his car, he pulled out the car keys and got out, holding a wrench.

"Hey, hey, what kind of parking is this? Why block the entrance? Hurry up and open... open, buddy, I’m just a security guard, please don’t hit me!"

The security guard, seeing Zhou Can approaching with a wrench as thick as a forearm, shrank his head in fear, quickly closing the booth’s door and using a riot steel fork as a weapon.

It was evident that just a look from Zhou Can scared him enough not to act rashly.

He even begged for mercy directly.

The majority of neighborhood security guards are just ordinary people, good at intimidating timid residents but useless when facing real trouble.

With a salary of two to three thousand a month, they can’t be expected to risk their lives for the residents.

Furthermore, due to property management issues, security guards often stand against the residents.

They are expected to lead the charge in collecting property and parking fees.

The relationship often seems adversarial.

Zhou Can couldn’t be bothered with the security guard and quickly rushed into the neighborhood. He only knew Jiang Wei lived in Zone B, but the exact building and floor were unclear.

"Jiang Wei, which building do you live in?"

"Can you hear me? Which building do you live in?"

There was no response on the other end, only the sound of footsteps and cold shouts could be heard.

Apparently, after dialing, she couldn’t converse normally on the phone.

It was understandable given her current state, being chased by at least two male assailants. If she made a call while fleeing, she’d be caught in no time.

She was very smart; after dialing Zhou Can, she didn’t hold the phone to her ear to talk.

This way, she wouldn’t hinder her speed and could make the assailants let down their guard.

After all, they also knew that committing a crime is illegal.

If they found out she was calling for help, they’d surely be anxious.

"Where do you think you’re running? Keep running!"

A triumphant male voice came from another direction, suggesting she had been cornered.

Running down the stairs is slower than the elevator.

Especially when the floor is high.

"Don’t come any closer, or I’ll jump off the 9th floor of Building 3, Zone B immediately."

She panted heavily, yelling at the assailants.

Her trembling voice revealed that her heart was filled with fear.

Any girl would be scared in such a situation.

"It’s only right to pay your debts. We’re just here to collect, pay what you owe, and this ends."
