Chapter 481: Chapter 481: The Sparrow Stalks Behind
Song Chen quickly notified the people ambushed in the room across the hall.
Through the peephole, they saw seven or eight burly men hiding in corners or by the winding stairs, and a young girl standing at the door, knocking.
The girl’s voice was choked with sobs, her face full of tears.
Sheng Tang asked who it was, and then came the voice of her grandmother.
"So late, who’s that, Tangtang?" her grandmother asked.
Sheng Tang shook her head. "I don’t know."
The girl outside heard this and cried even louder, "It’s me, I live downstairs. I just moved in recently. My roommate suddenly fainted, can you help take us to the hospital?"
She looked panicked and desperate.
A young girl, also a resident here; a family like the Sheng Family, with elders and children, would lower their guard.
As long as she could get the door open, more than half the battle was won.
"Well..." Sheng Tang’s voice came through, "We don’t know you, call an ambulance."
"The ambulance takes too long, my roommate might have a brain hemorrhage, if we delay any longer, she won’t make it, please, just take us, we’ll pay for the fare," the girl continued to cry.
Grandmother sighed, "We’re all neighbors."
"Grandma, Dad has to work tomorrow."
"Human life is important," grandmother said.
The girl was exceedingly anxious, and finally heard the sound of the lock turning, feeling immense joy.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, the door was opened.
The girl, however, took two steps back.
Grandmother looked at her with puzzlement; the girl’s tear-streaked face suddenly broke into a small smile.
Then, the burly men, armed with short knives, burst in and seized the grandmother.
Sheng Tang, looking like an inexperienced girl, turned to run in shock but was grabbed by another burly man.
The girl wiped her face.
Sheng Tang and her grandmother finally saw her clearly.
She looked about twenty-seven or twenty-eight, with slightly upturned eyes, a bit charming, like a smug fox.
"You...who are you?" Sheng Tang asked fearfully, trembling all over, "Who are you?"
Her question was simple.
She didn’t babble, asking what they wanted, or to release her, or who they were.
She only asked the girl, "Who are you?"
The girl was extremely pleased, smiling as she stepped forward and patted Sheng Tang’s face, "You don’t need to know!"
Then, she glanced at the burly man behind Sheng Tang.
The man immediately covered Sheng Tang’s mouth, not allowing her to make another sound, and the grandmother was treated the same way.
The girl looked around the room and then waved to the other burly men, signaling them to come inside to knock on the doors of Sheng Sidong and Sheng Zong’s rooms.
As they all entered, the door across the hall silently opened.
Heads also appeared up and down the stairs by the Sheng Family’s door.
"Don’t make any noise and alarm the neighbors," the girl whispered to the burly men, and then she personally went to knock on the doors of Sheng Sidong and Fang Mengying’s rooms.
Sheng Zong’s door was also knocked on.
She heard Sheng Sidong’s voice asking who it was from inside.
The girl felt even more triumphant, tonight’s operation was going incredibly smoothly.
Just a small task, she could get five million, planning to give her subordinates a share of a million, leaving the rest for years of easy living.
At that moment, the doors inside the room clicked twice.
They were not opening but locking separately.
The girl froze for a moment.
She turned around in astonishment, seeing Sheng Tang standing quietly at the door, the burly man who had been holding her already gone.
Sheng Tang with her hair loose, face pale, her hair thick and black, standing at the dimly lit door, looking like a ghost, smiling at them lifelessly.
The group suddenly felt a chill down their spines.
