Chapter 262: The Rong Family
Chapter 262: The Rong Family
Jiang Ning didn’t pay attention to these things; she only believed in the principle of having a strong fist.
To survive, she had already retreated repeatedly, but everyone has their limits. Don’t expect her to smile and bear it while you treat her like dirt.
She couldn’t do it!
The Rong family? She had already taken down two private bases, so why would she be afraid of them?
“Thank you for the reminder, Brother Qin.” Jiang Ning smiled, “If people don’t offend me, I won’t offend them. If people offend me, I will repay them a hundredfold.
Since we’ve moved in, we have no intention of moving out.
This time, they only injured the bodyguard’s hand; they’ve already shown plenty of respect.
If it happens again, it won’t be settled with just a hand. If anyone doubts it, let them come and try!”
She made her stance clear today, “From now on, no matter who asks you about it, just tell the truth.”
Qin Chuan was in a complicated mood. Besides feeling angry that the others looked down on them, he also thought that the two of them had blown this matter out of proportion.
A single tree can’t support a whole forest. Actually, there was still room for maneuver; there was no need to push things to the extreme.
After all, the Rong family wasn’t easy to deal with.
Upon hearing Jiang Ning’s words, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of emotion.
When he was younger, he also acted recklessly, but reality constantly hit him hard, forcing him to learn to bow his head.
In the past years of the apocalypse, he had swallowed his pride just to survive, but reality still struck him with thunderous blows.
Jiang Ning was right. They had purchased the house through hard work, without resorting to theft or robbery, and it was legally registered. However, these wealthy individuals banded together to ostracize them, refusing to even allow them entry.
With no option to retreat, how could he refrain from fighting back?
He picked up his beer and drank it all in one go. “Even if it’s a mountain of knives or a sea of flames, I’ll walk with you!”
Damn it, it’s just life!
With companions, he wouldn’t be alone.
Meanwhile, the Rong family’s lights were brightly lit.
Old Master Rong, who commanded respect without being angry, sat on the sofa, his sharp gaze looked at the butler. “What exactly happened today?”
The butler bowed his head, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. “Master, today’s incident has nothing to do with the Rong family. It was actually a misunderstanding.”
“A misunderstanding?” Old Master Rong’s face darkened. “It’s understandable for the property management to strengthen the control of personnel to ensure the safety of the residents, but who gave the order not to let even the residents in?”
The butler spoke honestly, “Master, this was indeed my oversight. The Rong family holds the title of honorary chairman of the homeowner’s association, but the actual management is handled by the vice-chairman, Mrs. Xiao from the Xiao family.
We had agreed that she would handle daily affairs, while important matters would be decided jointly by the homeowner’s association.
Unexpectedly, she acted on her own accord, not only excluding the owners of buildings 49 and 50 but also arranging for security to make things difficult for them.”
A bunch of people with too much time on their hands, causing trouble for no reason.
Old Master Rong closed his eyes and spoke after a while, “What background do these two households have?”
“The owner of building 49 is a profiteer who has made a lot of money reselling supplies during the disasters in recent years. As for the owner of building 50…”
The butler hesitated, “They are closely associated with the owner of building 49, likely friends or business partners. Their background hasn’t been fully investigated yet.”
“Unknown background?” Old Master Rong took a deep breath. “You dared to act rashly without even knowing their details?”
The butler wiped his sweat and lowered his head, too afraid to respond.
“How do we handle it now?”
“Master, the homeowner’s association was indeed at fault first, but the people in building 50 acted too harshly. All 20 security guards on the day shift were injured.
They not only injured the guards but also crippled a bodyguard’s hand and even took their guns, blatantly disrespecting the Rong family.”
The homeowner’s association mismanagement can be resolved through rational communication, with the responsible parties issuing an apology. However, the other party not only harmed people but also fired shots at the residents, which clearly amounts to criminal behavior.
If conflicts arise in the future, wouldn’t they just go on a killing spree?
This poses a significant safety hazard, and such evil tendencies must not be allowed to grow. I suggest involving the police and pushing for their imprisonment.
Keeping them in the community is truly dangerous.”
Old Master Rong frowned, “Is there no better solution?”
He had started from nothing, spending decades to achieve a significant status in the business world.
In business, maintaining harmony is important, and the homeowner’s association was indeed initially at fault, resulting in these shameful incidents.
These people’s brains seem to have been devoured by disasters.
Old Master Rong was a pioneer, starting his business in household appliances. He had faced numerous rejections and humiliations to secure business, deeply understanding what it felt like to have his dignity trampled.
If possible, he didn’t want to burn all bridges.
“Master, if we back down this time, how will the community view the Rong family? If we don’t punish them severely, won’t everyone feel free to trample on us in the future?”
“Uncle Guan, you must be losing your mind.”
A lazy voice came from upstairs, accompanied by the sound of slippers. The third young master of the Rong family descended in a bathrobe and slippers, yawning, “Do you think you’re doing the Rong family a favor? You’re speeding up its demise.”
Seeing his casual demeanor, Old Master Rong couldn’t contain his anger—this unruly wastrel.
The third young master sat down beside Old Master Rong, casually placing a hand on his shoulder. “Dad, you weren’t there. Those three are like gods of war, defeating the security guards as if they were tofu.
This afternoon, I purposely circled around building 50. That family is tough, probably harder to deal with than desperate criminals, and their background is surely complicated.”
Old Master Rong frowned, “That formidable?”
“I’ve got all the details. They were among the first to move in for renovations. Their courtyard walls are like a fortress, with several impregnable doors, and the rooftop is fully enclosed with glass.
Today’s incident was instigated by those rich idle housewives. It’s been three years since the apocalypse, yet they still think they are aristocratic and superior, constantly ostracizing and harassing others. The other party didn’t initially intend to act; the security guards’ deliberate humiliation forced their hand.
If it were me with their skills, I wouldn’t just beat them—I’d wipe out the whole neighborhood…”
“Shut up!” Old Master Rong slapped him on the head, his disgusted expression more intense than if he were looking at filth. “Look at the mess you are right now.”
Wearing a bathrobe with his leg hair exposed and even crossing his legs provocatively—he was infuriating enough to make Old Master Rong want to strangle him.
The third young master continued crossing his legs, “Dad, it’s the apocalypse now. Do you still have the time to worry about my sitting posture?”
He waved the butler away and adopted an even lazier posture. “Trust me this once. The man in building 50 has skills surpassing those of special forces. He dislocates limbs effortlessly, and the woman targets pressure points with her punches.
They injured the guards seriously without causing fatalities. That level of precision is beyond ordinary people’s control.
Their little girl, about seven or eight years old, dislocated a man’s jaw with a kick. For such a young age, imagine how long she must have trained to achieve that accuracy.
What does this tell you? These three are used to killing, as easy as chopping vegetables.
They’ve turned their villa into a fortress and even prepared glass reinforcements. Doesn’t this suggest they know something?”
