In Sang Yunpu, fortunately, the roof of the house had been reinforced with wooden planks, so the hail couldn't get in, but it still made a loud banging sound when it hit the roof.
The room was heated, making it relatively comfortable.
Qi Feng sat on the floor in the living room, on a mat, looking worried. He didn't know when the hail would stop.
Sang Yunpu boiled some water, poured a glass for Qi Feng, and handed it to him, saying, "Drink some hot water to warm yourself up."
He turned around and immediately asked Sang Luoluo how things were going.
Sang Luoluo immediately replied: [It's hailing outside, I can't go back. The office is packed with people.]
Chapter 77 The Conflict That Came to Find You
Sang Yunpu reminded him, "Don't sleep too soundly at night, be careful."
Sang Luoluo replied: [OK]
Sang Luoluo didn't plan to sleep that night either. There were so many people around; she wouldn't even know if her things were stolen while she was asleep.
Someone actually stole something.
Sang Luoluo didn't sleep that night. She turned on a small nightlight in her tent and played some games to pass the time. Suddenly, she noticed a hand quietly pulling open her tent flap. Seeing this, Sang Luoluo immediately lifted the curtain and met a shocked girl. She asked, "What's wrong?"
The girl didn't expect to be caught so easily.
Seeing Sang Luoluo force a smile, she shamelessly asked in a soft, weak voice, "Could I sleep in the tent with you? The chair is too uncomfortable. This place is quite spacious. I'd like to squeeze in with you."
Sang Luoluo looked at her and politely declined, "I'm sorry, no, I'm not used to sleeping with others. My tent is small, there's not enough room for two people."
"How can you be so stingy? I didn't sleep in your tent for free, how about I give you a bottle of water as payment!"
The other party was persistent, especially after lifting the tent flap and seeing pillows and blankets inside, all soft and cozy, but no food. She was somewhat displeased; she was thin and small, and looked like she could be easily bullied.
"I don't need your water, and I don't want to sleep with anyone else. Please leave immediately," Sang Luoluo said, raising her voice slightly.
Sang Luoluo didn't know this woman, nor was she afraid of her.
The other party persisted. "We're all colleagues, what's wrong with sharing your tent with me? Why are you being so stingy? I already told you I'd give you water. It's so cold at night, what if I catch a cold sleeping outside! Are you going to take responsibility if there are problems with the experiment?"
Sang Luoluo looked at her and said, "Don't try to hold me hostage with those things. I have the right to say no to my things. If you don't want them, that's your business. Please leave my tent immediately."
Someone nearby tried to persuade her, "Hey, the young girl doesn't want to, why are you making things difficult for her? Wen Yue, you're an old woman too, just make do for one night."
Wen Yue retorted, "She's just an assistant. I'm a PhD, after all. Asking her to give me some space is already showing her respect. It's not like I'm not paying her. What's wrong with sharing such a big tent!"
Seeing that she couldn't reason with her, Sang Luoluo said, "Then let's find someone to handle it."
Sang Luoluo was about to send a message to Jian Cheng's assistant.
Seeing that she was about to call for help, Wen Yue immediately rushed over and slapped her wrist. Sang Luoluo stood up to avoid her, and the watch face was knocked against the railing next to her and shattered instantly.
Sang Luoluo: "You... pay me back for my watch!"
Wen Yue panicked for a moment and retorted, "Who broke your watch? You bumped into it yourself, don't try to pin it on me!"
Sang Luoluo laughed in exasperation, "You want to play like this? You wanted to sleep in my tent? Come and try it!"
Upon hearing this, Wen Yue actually went over and crawled into Sang Luoluo's tent. When Sang Luoluo came in and saw her blatantly entering, and even trying to pull her blanket, she simply reached out and grabbed Wen Yue's shoulder.
The next second, he took her into his spatial storage.
An endless fog enveloped her, the dim light obscuring the end of the fog. She was trapped in a small space, unable to escape no matter how hard she tried.
It's quiet here, exceptionally quiet, as if you're in an endless universe, unable to touch anything, and Tiantian helpless.
Sang Luoluo watched the person beside her disappear before lying down with peace of mind, her consciousness watching Wen Yue struggle in the space.
"Let me out right now!"
"You dare imprison me? Do you know who I am?"
"I've disappeared, and you can't escape either."
Sang Luoluo blocked her voice, intending to leave her alone for a while.
It's a pity that her watch broke not long after she bought it.
When the others heard that Wen Yue was no longer making a sound, some came over to check. One of them, a thin man who was on good terms with Wen Yue, walked over and asked, "What did you do to Wen Yue?"
Sang Luoluo shrugged. "I didn't do anything to her. She insisted on sleeping in my tent. I refused, but she tried to take it by force. I had no choice but to let her sleep somewhere else for the night."
"Where did you take her? I saw her go into your tent with my own eyes. I advise you not to be ungrateful. Wen Yue is a PhD student in charge of an important project. She is very important to the entire lab. If you do anything to her, the lab will not let you off the hook," the man threatened viciously.
Sang Luoluo said helplessly, "I'll let her out if you promise she won't bother me again."
"You have no right to bargain with me!" the man said firmly.
Sang Luoluo looked at him and said, "Then how do you plan to resolve this?"
"Hand over the people and give us your tent, and we'll let it go," the man said.
Sang Luoluo scoffed, "To put it bluntly, you just want my tent, right? I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you."
Sang Luoluo continued, "What if I disagree?"
Back at the villa, Sang Yunpu was texting her to ask how things were going. He was worried and was Sang Luoluo a message every hour.
But there was no response to the message he had just sent, and he was getting anxious. Could something have happened to his sister?
He paced back and forth in the living room, glancing at his watch every now and then, but still no messages came back. He even checked the signal; although it was hailing outside, the signal strength was full.
Qi Feng watched from the side and sent a message to Qi Xue. Qi Xue immediately replied, saying that everything was fine at the hospital and that he shouldn't worry.
Although Qi Xue is now disabled, she is still a member of the Guard and can save herself in an emergency. After she recovers for a while and gets a prosthetic leg, she will be able to live a normal life again.
Seeing Sang Yunpu's anxious expression, he said, "If you're in a hurry, just give her a video call."
Sang Yunpu immediately dialed his sister's number, but after three attempts, he couldn't get through; the other party couldn't answer.
Sang Yunpu immediately became anxious. Sang Luoluo and immediately reach out to turn it off. Something was wrong, very wrong.
Qi Feng said, "If you're really worried, then come and take a look together."
Looking at the pelting hail outside, Sang Yunpu finally couldn't resist his worry. "Come on, you'll come with me. I'll pay you overtime."
"OK."
Where there's a will, there's a way. Qi Feng immediately took out his tools and nailed together several large wooden planks to create an arc-shaped protective shield.
Sang Yunpu locked the door, and the two of them went outside, holding up the wooden planks to shield themselves from the falling hail. Although the hail was powerful, Qi Feng had special abilities, and with the planks in place, the impact of the hail was manageable.
Sang Luoluo was still in a stalemate with the man, whose voices grew louder and louder, alarming the others. Such incidents were common in the laboratory; those in higher positions could easily bully junior staff, especially PhDs who were in charge of individual projects and had a lot of influence in the lab.
In the event of unforeseen disasters, it's quite normal for them to bully those below them. Most people wouldn't fight back, because the consequence of resistance would be losing their jobs. Everyone knows how high the salaries are in the lab, so many people choose to endure it.
As luck would have it, someone couldn't stand it anymore. Knowing that Sang Luoluo worked for Jian Cheng's assistant, they secretly called Jian Cheng's assistant over.
Jian Cheng, who was about to rest, came over and saw Sang Luoluo arguing with a man.
Wearing glasses, she looked at the man impatiently. " Xu Zhi! It's you again. What's going on? Don't you know Sang Luoluo is Dr. Wang's assistant?"
The man arguing with Sang Luoluo was Xu Zhi. He thought Sang Luoluo was just an ordinary assistant, and that he could bully her if he wanted. Who would have thought that she was Dr. Wang's assistant? Now, not wanting to lose face, he turned the tables and said, "It was her! She made Dr. Wen Yue disappear! I just came to ask for her back."
Sang Luoluo saw an acquaintance and waved Wen Yue out. Wen Yue landed on the ground, finally feeling a sense of reality, but the fear from before still lingered. She muttered, "Let me out! Let me out! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
Suddenly, I realized I was outside, and in front of a bunch of people, looking so pathetic, sitting on the ground like a laughingstock.
He went up and immediately Sang Luoluo.
Stopped by Jian Cheng's assistant, Jian Cheng pushed up his glasses and said impatiently, "Let's leave it at that. It's too late; don't disturb other people's rest."
Wen Yue and the man glanced at Sang Luoluo with displeasure, especially Wen Yue, who looked at Sang Luoluo with a mixture of dislike and fear. Her space was too terrifying, and her abilities were too strange.
Inside, they cried out to Tiantian and earth, but received no response.
If she secretly pulls her into the space and locks her up, she'll starve to death inside.
Sang Luoluo didn't expect the matter to end so easily. Jian Cheng beckoned her over and said, "You're new here, this kind of thing is normal. If you have any problems here, you can send me a message, and I'll handle it. Try not to get into conflicts with them."
