Great, It's the Pervy Neighbor. We're Doomed
Chapter 354: The Hunt Fails Again
Jiang Ran found a glass water cup in his living room.
He filled the cup halfway with tap water, then Kim Yoon-ah pulled out that small bottle of Paraquat from his right pants pocket.
He had heard that Paraquat had already been discontinued and banned from sale in Hua Country.
This bottle was something he bought online from a Hua Country person.
He didn't actually know if it was genuine Paraquat, but he had already tested it on a stray dog from the roadside.
Anyway, even if it wasn't Paraquat,
it was still very toxic.
If it couldn't poison Jiang Ran to death, it could at least cripple him.
His heart was filled with extreme malice, yet his surface remained gentle and charming:
"Brother Jiang Ran, time to drink some water!"
He carried that cup of Paraquat-laced water to Jiang Ran's bedside, intending to lift Jiang Ran's head and feed him this poisoned water. ๐๐๐ฎ๐๐๐๐๐ท๐๐ฟ๐๐ต.๐๐๐
But Jiang Ran suddenly acted like he was having a drunken fit.
Lying on the bed, he waved his arms and legs wildly, thrashing about.
This made it impossible for Kim Yoon-ah to get close.
Besides thrashing wildly,
Jiang Ran also started loudly reciting various poems.
For a moment, Kim Yoon-ah seriously suspected that Jiang Ran might be pretending to be drunk.
Why was he blocked every time he tried to take action?
Watching Jiang Ran shaking wildly on the bed,
not knowing how long it would take for him to stop,
Kim Yoon-ah's expression grew increasingly gloomy.
He simply placed the glass cup aside.
He considered whether he should just get a kitchen knife and chop Jiang Ran to death?
Kim Yoon-ah ultimately abandoned the method of forcibly killing Jiang Ran.
He didn't dare take the risk.
If the other person were just an ordinary person, he might attempt the risk.
But the other person wasn't ordinary at all.
It was quite possible that Jiang Ran's drunken state was all an act right now.
"Jiang Ran, ah, Jiang Ran, you really are my nemesis."
Kim Yoon-ah sighed deeply, feeling utterly defeated.
He stopped paying attention to Jiang Ran, who was still crazily reciting poetry.
He took away that cup of Paraquat-laced water.
Turned and left Room 304.
Jiang Ran wasn't pretending to be drunk.
He was genuinely drunk.
But when this alternate personality got drunk, he wouldn't fall unconscious, instead he would engage in this messy poetry reciting and crazy behavior.
Time moved to the next day, 7:00 in the morning.
That previous alternate personality who loved reciting poetry and always wore a cheeky grin had been sent back by the System not long after Kim Yoon-ah left last night.
Jiang Ran's kind main personality had returned.
But upon returning, due to having consumed excessive alcohol,
the returned Jiang Ran was completely drunk.
He directly fell into a deep sleep.
He slept like this until 7:00 in the morning.
Then he woke up.
After waking up, his eyes were completely crusted with sleep.
Moreover, his head hurt terribly, throbbing with pain.
Besides that, his head was very dizzy.
Dizzy and vision swimming.
And it wasn't just these symptoms - dry mouth, overall weakness, nausea and vomiting, he had all these symptoms too.
After Jiang Ran woke up, it took him a full hour to recover somewhat, until 8:00,
when he became slightly more clear-headed.
"Damn, my mouth tastes awful, why does it smell like alcohol..."
Jiang Ran's memory this time only went up to riding in the car with that girl called Xiao He.
Half an hour after they got in the car, that driver didn't follow the navigation, and he had no memory of what happened after that.
No need to guess, that middle-aged driver must have caused trouble later.
Then the alternate personality came out to clean up the mess.
But, why was his mouth now full of alcohol taste?
And it felt like quite a lot too.
What did that alternate personality do with his body?
Jiang Ran wanted to get up, but his body only rose about forty-five degrees before immediately collapsing back onto the bed.
Alright, can't get up, might as well keep lying down...
Not long after he closed his eyes,
a sharp phone ringtone suddenly sounded.
Jiang Ran, extremely annoyed, directly retracted his head under the covers.
The phone rang for a minute then stopped.
Jiang Ran relievedly stuck his head out from under the covers.
But before five minutes passed, the phone rang again.
This time when it rang,
it was relentless.
It kept ringing.
The kind that simply wouldn't stop.
He originally wanted to put it on silent, but Jiang Ran was worried it might be some important call.
He struggled very hard to open those bloodshot eyes caused by the heavy drinking.
His vision was blurry, he couldn't see clearly who was calling, so he just swiped.
Turned on speakerphone.
Placed the phone on the soft bed, himself lying beside it with closed eyes to take the call.
"Hello? Who is this?"
Jiang Ran swore that it better not be some spam call, otherwise he would really curse someone out.
A gloomy voice came from the other side:
"Jiang Ran, do you know what time it is now?"
Jiang Ran found this voice very unfamiliar, he said: "No, who are you? Why are you asking me the time?"
The other side: "Hehe, as expected, important people have short memories! We just met yesterday, and you've already forgotten me?"
Yesterday...
Jiang Ran's memory from yesterday was incomplete, he estimated meeting this person must have been through the alternate personality.
He asked: "Forgotten, who are you?!"
The other side: "I'm the new apartment manager - Li Chong."
Hearing this, the heavily drunk Jiang Ran jolted, flipping over and sitting up in bed.
Extremely incredulously staring at his phone.
On the phone screen was just a string of numbers, no contact name.
"You're the new manager?! Then what about Xiao Zhang?!"
"Xiao Zhang? The previous manager resigned, so I'm the new one."
"Re, resigned? Why did he resign?!"
"How would I know, you should have his contact information, why don't you ask him yourself?"
The voice on the other side gradually grew impatient: "Jiang Ran, you promised me yesterday that you would report to work exactly at 8:00 today, but judging by your voice, it seems like you just woke up?"
Jiang Ran was still thinking about why Manager Xiao Zhang had resigned.
Therefore, without much thought he said: "Yes, I just woke up."
Manager Li Chong: "Since you just woke up, then hurry down and come to work!"
Jiang Ran frowned: "Work? Go down for what work? As an assistant manager, I can work from home?!"
Manager Li Chong: "Work from home? Have you ever seen any workplace that allows working from home?"
Jiang Ran: "That's what Manager Xiao Zhang told me. I can stay home when there's nothing to do, and only go handle things when apartment residents have issues."
Manager Li Chong: "I knew it was that Xiao Zhang who made you all so lax!"
"Jiang Ran, listen carefully, he's no longer here, now, I am the manager."
"My rule is, everything he previously told you doesn't count."
"You must report to work at 8:00 every day, finish at 5:30 in the afternoon, and during this time, you must be in the management office on the 1st floor!"
Jiang Ran was already drunk and hungover, and hearing the other's unpleasant tone.
He said: "Got it, got it, but I can't work today, I need to take a day off."
Manager Li Chong: "Why?"
Jiang Ran said: "Personal matters."
Manager Li Chong: "Fine, when you come to work tomorrow, submit your leave request form to me."
Jiang Ran: "Okay."
Jiang Ran hung up the phone.
He felt this Manager Li Chong was really troublesome.
Nothing like Xiao Zhang!
Sigh, Xiao Zhang, why did you have to quit?!
Jiang Ran missed Xiao Zhang immensely.
