Chapter 842: I Only Took Brother Jiang Ran’s Delivery, I Didn’t Take Yours!
Jiang Ran definitely wouldn't say something stupid and soft like "he's still a child."
Even before entering the apartment, faced with this kind of situation, he wouldn't go easy just because the other side looked soft.
After all, if petty theft is tolerated from childhood, it will surely lead to big mistakes when they grow up.
Jin Hai probably didn't expect that this seemingly weak-looking Jiang Ran would not plead for him.
He lowered his head. "Alright then, how do you want me to make amends?"
Zhang Yao said, "I'm not going to make things hard for you. Just compensate us for both of our deliveries."
Jin Hai asked, "How much is that delivery?"
Jiang Ran said, "29."
Jin Hai ran to the table, took out a Rice phone.
He added Jiang Ran on WeChat, sent a red envelope for 29, and it went through.
Zhang Yao stepped forward. "Mine was 168."
Jin Hai nodded, but then a hint of confusion appeared on his childish face.
"Wait, big brother, are you mistaken? Today was the first time I've ever taken a delivery! I only took this one! I didn't take your 168!"
"What?"
The phone in his hand almost dropped to the floor. Zhang Yao screeched, "So you're saying the cheese ribs I bought were not taken by you?!"
Jin Hai looked wronged and innocent. "No! I really didn't take it! And even if I wanted to take something, I definitely wouldn't take something that expensive!"
"You little brat! You stole from next door! And you dare to lie?!"
Zhang Yao was sure it had to be this guy who took it.
Because in the past two days, besides catching this guy, they hadn't caught anyone else.
If it wasn't you, who else could it be? Could there possibly be other delivery thieves in this apartment?!
After saying that,
Zhang Yao lunged at the little boy Jin Hai like a famished tiger.
Jiang Ran hurriedly blocked him, joined by Manager Wu Meiling, who hadn't spoken a word since arriving here.
The two of them forcibly held Zhang Yao back, and after restraining him, Manager Wu Meiling said,
"Zhang Yao, when you catch someone you must also catch the evidence."
"Although you suspect Jin Hai of taking your delivery, do you have that proof?"
"Jiang Ran's delivery is right here, that's proof, but you don't have that."
Zhang Yao was at a loss for words, bitterness stuck in his throat.
He suddenly remembered something.
He lowered his head and started looking around.
Soon, Manager Wu Meiling and Jiang Ran realized what he was searching for. He was looking through the trash bins in the apartment, apparently hoping to find evidence that someone had eaten his delivery.
If he could find the delivery note or the food bag, that would be perfect. Unfortunately, he rummaged through several bins and found nothing. Either Jin Hai really hadn't taken his delivery, or Jin Hai had already disposed of the evidence.
Pulling at his hair in fury, Zhang Yao then glared angrily at Jin Hai, who stared back with eyes devoid of deceit, full of sincerity.
Zhang Yao knew there was nothing he could do to this guy for now.
He could only grind his teeth and leave.
Manager Wu Meiling followed behind.
Before leaving, Jiang Ran still gave Jin Hai a meaningful admonition:
"Kid, don't steal other people's deliveries again. You happened to run into people with good tempers like us. As long as you pay, fine. But if you run into someone with a bad temper, you might get beaten. Don't think that because you look like a child you can get huge leeway."
With a bang, the door shut.
Then there was only Jin Hai left.
At that moment, the childish look on Jin Hai's face was gone. He showed that dark, vicious expression that only appears on an adult's face.

Middle-aged Uncle: [Zhang Yao’s delivery was definitely taken by Jin Hai. Although Jin Hai sidestepped repaying the money, he completely enraged Zhang Yao. This guy thinks he can hide behind a child’s appearance to do bad things and get a big free pass, but he probably never imagined what kind of people live in Alice Apartment, especially that he provoked someone like this.]
Domineering Female CEO: [He’s definitely going to get revenge. He’s already a lab rat; if you don’t provoke others they still want to mess with you. Now it's perfect—others might not touch him, but Zhang Yao will definitely seek revenge.]
Fairy Sister: [Before, when I heard about these deranged criminals, deranged serial killers, and the lab rats killed in Alice Apartment, I felt those lab rats were a bit too pitiful. But if it's this Jin Hai, I think he deserves to die.]
Ultimate Rich Kid: [I also think Jin Hai is despicable. Stealing deliveries isn't enough, he even salted someone's food with laxatives. Look at his expression now, he's probably going to stir up more trouble later.]
…
Because Jiang Ran's delivery had been taken by Jin Hai, he ordered another one. This time, he didn't wait until the delivery arrived; he went down five minutes early to pick it up.
Even though he knew that after dealing with Jin Hai his delivery probably wouldn't be stolen again, once bitten, twice shy.
After finishing his food,
it was almost three in the afternoon.
According to the previous arrangement, Jiang Ran went to the management office on the first floor of Building No. 1.
At that time, both managers were in the office.
What surprised Jiang Ran was that the new security guard, Xue Kai, was also there.
He was even sitting right beside Manager Wu Meiling, very close to her. Their relationship clearly looked a little unusual.
Jiang Ran had once seen Manager Wu Meiling with men many years younger than her when they were together.
What he never expected was that she wouldn't stay away from what was close at hand—she actually went after the apartment’s security guard.
After coming here, Jiang Ran washed his hands.
He joined the three of them in making dumplings and wontons.
Among the four, Manager Wu Wen was quietly silent, and Jiang Ran didn't have much to say either.
As for the other two, they chatted and laughed as if they hadn't seen each other in ages.
So Jiang Ran and Manager Wu Wen were basically the two big third wheels.
While wrapping a dumpling, Jiang Ran's attention drifted to this new manager, Wu Wen.
He noticed that Manager Wu Wen, whether wrapping dumplings or wontons, was terrifyingly fast.
Faster than professional chefs.
He had barely finished one dumpling when Manager Wu Wen had already wrapped ten.
And Jiang Ran also noticed,
the dumplings and wontons Manager Wu Wen made
looked like exact copies.
Completely identical.
Unlike the ones the others made, where at least to the naked eye you could see differences.
After observing, Jiang Ran looked around the management office again.
