Chapter 504: Midnight Specter
At this moment, the daughter of the middle-aged man who had remained silent until now, having just graduated, spoke up and asked, "So, how are we splitting this twenty thousand yuan this time?"Having gotten the money, the next step was to divide the spoils.
The middle-aged man took a sip of the Wuliangye his son had dutifully offered him. He said, "Your mom and I will each take five thousand, that'll count as living expenses for all of us."
"There's ten thousand left. Your brother gets five thousand, after all, the whole idea was his."
"As for the remaining five thousand..."
"Your brother-in-law gets three thousand, you get two thousand."
The newly graduated daughter was very unhappy. "That's not fair! Why do I get the least?"
The middle-aged man said displeased, "You money-losing brat, you're not satisfied with two thousand? You've eaten mine and drunk mine your whole life, have you ever given your old dad a single cent?"
The newly graduated daughter instantly fell silent.
After finishing the meal, everyone returned to their respective rooms.
The crippled son and the brother-in-law's rooms were on the first floor, the other three people's rooms were on the second floor.
The crippled son, after returning to his room, locked the door from the inside. He drew the curtains.
Then, he grabbed a pack of tissues, lay down on the bed, opened his phone, and started searching for Zhang Xue's TikTok account on TikTok.
"Gotta say, you're quite pretty. Tonight, I'll use you to have some fun."
Soon, the crippled son found Zhang Xue's TikTok account and began his virtual search for a target.
Meanwhile, in the brother-in-law's room on the other side.
The brother-in-law lay on his bed, not doing any 'handiwork', but was arranging to go out and have fun with some girls.
Although he was of the same generation as his sister and brother-in-law, his actual age was about the same as his nephew's.
Otherwise, he wouldn't still be unmarried at this age, mooching off his brother-in-law's family.
And whether it was the crippled son or the brother-in-law, they both felt they had a bright future ahead.
The newly graduated daughter, in her room, looked at the two thousand yuan that had landed in her phone. She still felt it was somewhat unfair.
However, soon, the live stream of the male streamer she liked started.
She spent most of the two thousand yuan on the male streamer she liked, exchanging it for calls of "big sister" that made her feel extremely pleased and comfortable inside.
The unfair treatment she received from her parents instantly vanished into thin air.
In the middle-aged man and his wife's room.
Because of the money they earned today, which could be said to have been picked up for free, they were in a great mood.
The couple, who hadn't had marital relations for a long time, had a session.
The brief two and a half minutes spoke volumes about the vicissitudes of life.
After finishing, the middle-aged man discussed with his wife about doing more of these money-scamming ventures like the fishpond rental in the future.
This money, if you don't earn it, it's just wasted!
In short, the whole family was happy for a long time because of this twenty thousand yuan they picked up for free.
Late at night, past 11 o'clock.
The two-story cement house of the middle-aged man's family fell into darkness.
Crippled son's room.
Pitch black. He was sleeping soundly.
At this moment, deep in sleep, he had no idea that a figure had quietly climbed in through the window of his room.
This figure's footsteps were very light, almost nonexistent.
His eyes were very bright, like beacons in the dark night.
The figure carefully approached.
Upon reaching the bedside, he took a handkerchief from his bosom and suddenly covered the crippled son's mouth and nose.
Sharing the same fate as the crippled son was the brother-in-law, who also lived on the first floor.
He too, in his sleep, had his mouth and nose covered by a handkerchief.
Afterwards, that figure, having dealt with these two, went up to the second floor.
The figure quietly entered the room of the middle-aged man and his wife.
Similarly, these two were also asleep.
They too encountered a handkerchief covering their mouth and nose.
After that, the figure began moving towards the last room.
The room of the daughter who had just graduated not long ago.
"So cute! I really want to date him! Have a sweet older woman-younger man romance!"
The newly graduated daughter was not asleep yet.
She was curled up under the covers, lying down watching the live stream of the male streamer she liked.
Her back was facing the room door.
Therefore, she completely failed to notice that her tightly closed room door was slowly being opened.
Suddenly, as the door opened, there was a creaking sound. It was probably because the lock on this door had been used for too long and had rusted with age.
However, because the newly graduated daughter was too focused on her male streamer, she didn't notice.
After all, her phone volume was quite loud.
And the background music in that live stream room on her phone was also very noisy.
"I love you to death!"
The newly graduated daughter couldn't hold back anymore and kissed her phone with her small mouth.
Although she kissed the phone, the target was the male streamer inside the phone.
It was also at the moment she kissed it that a large hand suddenly appeared. In the large hand was a cloth, tightly covering her mouth and nose.
The instant the large hand covered her mouth and nose, her eyes widened in terror. Her body instinctively reacted, resisting, struggling.
But within a few seconds, she suddenly stopped moving. Her eyes slowly closed, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep.
And when she woke up again, she found she was no longer in her own room bed, watching the live stream.
Instead, she was in the first-floor living room of her house.
She was sitting on a chair, her hands and feet tied. She wanted to open her mouth and shout for help, but found her mouth was stuffed with rags.
Besides that, she discovered in horror that apart from her, all the other members of her family were also here, not a single one missing!
Her father, mother, brother, brother-in-law.
All were like her, each tied to a chair, mouths gagged.
Of course, they were all awake by now.
At this moment, the chairs were lined up in a row.
Facing these five people was a quite handsome young man.
This quite handsome young man just quietly stared back at them.
After a long while, these five people seemed to remember who this unfamiliar young man in front of them was.
They each wanted to speak, but could only make muffled "mmph mmph" noises.
This young man was none other than Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran, seeing the look in their eyes, figured they probably recognized him.
He smiled slightly.
Then, facing these five people, he slowly spoke, "Good evening, everyone?"
The five people made muffled noises.
But they couldn't make too loud a sound.
So, in this silent night, their neighbors had no idea such a thing was happening next door.
Jiang Ran pressed his hands down. "Don't get too excited. What's there to be excited about?"
But Jiang Ran's words didn't calm their excitement; they were still very agitated.
Looking at their flushed faces, Jiang Ran smiled. "Alright, alright. Since you're all so excited, I'll tell you why I'm here!"
"My purpose is also very simple."
"I believe you've already guessed."
"It's for that twenty thousand yuan."
"You people... really have some nerve!"
"Who couldn't you have scammed? You had to scam me?"
"Although that money wasn't given by me, over a thousand of it was mine. So, I came."
"However, don't be afraid. I don't want that twenty thousand yuan either, I'll give it to you."
"Moreover, I'll give you a few more barrels of oil."
Beside Jiang Ran were several barrels of gasoline and diesel.
