Officer Wang said, "You said the downstairs wouldn't affect the upstairs, so why did you suspect the downstairs just now?"

Aunt Wu was taken aback by the question, paused for a moment, and then said in a lecturing tone, "Xiao Wang, we're talking about upstairs, not downstairs. Why are you so nosy?"

Chapter 39 Aunt Wu's Impotent Rage

Officer Wang felt a surge of anger, but he held back after thinking about it.

"Tell me, what happened between you and the upstairs neighbor? Did you two have a fight?"

Aunt Wu replied matter-of-factly, "That's right! He said my noise is disturbing his house. I live downstairs, how could it disturb his house? How could I not have a big argument with such an unreasonable and heartless person?"

Officer Wang watched as Aunt Wu went on and on, recounting her dispute with her neighbor, and rubbed his throbbing head.

"Because you had a big fight, you suspect that his family is deliberately harassing you."

Aunt Wu continued, "That's not all! Because we had a fight, and then some other conflicts arose, his family moved out half a month ago."

"You said that because of a small conflict with my family, his family actually moved away. How could such a heartless person dare to move away from his own home? Do you think he would tolerate not retaliating?"

Xiao Wang was stunned again, and asked in disbelief, "Aunt Wu, you said the family upstairs has moved out?"

Aunt Wu didn't see anything wrong with it and nodded, saying, "Yes, they've already moved! Because of me, he moved his whole house. Can you believe how much of a grudge that is? How could they not retaliate?"

"I think it's his family deliberately harassing my family."

Officer Wang finally understood and pointed upstairs: "That means there's no one upstairs, it's empty, they've already moved out."

Aunt Wu didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"Yes, didn't I just say? They moved out two weeks ago."

Officer Wang snapped the dispatch logbook shut and stood up.

"Alright, the matter has been clarified. Let's wait for further instructions."

He turned and walked out; he really couldn't hold back anymore.

When Aunt Wu saw Officer Wang about to leave, she panicked; the problem hadn't been solved yet!

He quickly stopped him, saying, "Xiao Wang, my family's problems haven't been resolved yet! You police officers are supposed to serve the people; you can't have a bad conscience!"

Officer Wang's face darkened: "Aunt Wu, didn't you say there was no one upstairs? How can we mediate now? Our police station can't do anything about this."

Aunt Wu was immediately displeased.

"Xiao Wang, what's wrong with you? You police officers are supposed to serve the people! How can the police station be powerless? You have to do this! Arrest that person making the noise, and preferably sentence them to prison! They have no conscience!"

Xiao Wang took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to turn around and leave, and explained, "Aunt Wu, you should be very familiar with how we handle this kind of thing. Your downstairs neighbor has already called the police twice because of the noise."

"Based on what you just said, should we arrest you?"

Aunt Wu shrank her neck and quickly said, "That won't do. We only made a little noise, we didn't break the law, why are you arresting people? You police can't just arrest people randomly."

Officer Wang shrugged: "So, this is just a simple civil dispute. It mainly depends on both of you. We can only mediate for you."

The older woman then offered a compromise: "Then you can mediate for me."

Xiao Wang said, "If you don't tell me which family is harassing you, how can I mediate?"

Aunt Wu said matter-of-factly, "How would I know? If I had known who it was, I would have gone to settle accounts with him long ago."

Xiao Wang asked, "If you don't know whose house it is, how can I mediate?"

Aunt Wu replied matter-of-factly, "Aren't you a police officer? Do I need to tell you?"

"Why don't you just search each of our neighbors' houses?"

Officer Wang was so angry he laughed.

“Aunt Wu, I’ve already said that this is a civil dispute. We can only mediate; we don’t have the power to enforce the law.”

"You even came to search our home? Do you think our police station is just for your family?!"

When Aunt Wu heard Officer Wang say that, she clearly didn't want to get involved anymore, and immediately started throwing a tantrum.

"Oh dear, what a heartless person! We've been bullied at our doorstep, and even the police can't stand up for us. We can't live like this anymore!"

Seeing her throwing a tantrum, Officer Wang reiterated his statement.

“Aunt Wu, the noise issue is a neighborhood dispute. There’s not much we can do. The key is for you neighbors to resolve it yourselves.”

"I can't handle this kind of thing. You should try to improve your relationship with your neighbor."

Saying that, he turned around and left.

Aunt Wu was unwilling to let him go; she was counting on the police to help her resolve the trouble! She wouldn't let Xiao Wang go until the matter was resolved.

He rushed over and hugged the puppy tightly, refusing to let go.

Xiao Wang was also angered. He yanked Wu Dama away, pointed at her, and shouted a warning: "Behave yourself! I'm on official duty. Do you know you're interfering with the police in the performance of their duties? That's illegal and you'll be detained."

“If you make another move, I will take you to the police station right now under the pretext of protecting police officers in the performance of their duties.”

When Aunt Wu saw that Xiao Wang was angry and had such a tough attitude, and that if he made any more trouble he would be taken to the police station, she immediately softened.

He awkwardly let go of her hand.

Officer Wang snorted and said meaningfully, "Stop thinking about your neighbors' problems all the time, and stop thinking about your own. Don't you know why your relationship with your neighbors is so bad?"

"To solve a problem, first correct the problems within your own family."

"Otherwise, forget about calling the police, nobody will help you!"

Having said that, he finally let out the anger he had been holding in, and turned to go downstairs.

Aunt Wu was stunned. She couldn't understand why everyone around her was so mean, not only deliberately harassing her family but also ignoring the police. They had no conscience!

For the first time, Aunt Wu, who had been undefeated in her neighborhood battles, didn't know what to do.

The police and the property management have been contacted, but nothing has worked. Why is her life so miserable? She only has bad neighbors with bad consciences!

……

Meanwhile, half an hour earlier, Li Mu received a call from his neighbors, a young couple, at his rented old house. They told him that Aunt Wu had caused a scene at the property management office, but it was no use, so they called the police.

The noise from Aunt Wu's house not only bothered Li Mu, but also affected the young couple next door. They also complained to the upstairs neighbor, but given Aunt Wu's personality, they didn't get away with it.

Before leaving, Li Mu made a point of telling them to let him know if anything happened.

After hanging up the phone, I checked the time: 6:50 PM. According to the timer of the vibration device, it would end in ten minutes.

They even called the police, so we can't leave any evidence against her. Aunt Wu may be naive, but the police are not.

This allows the vibration device to stop working ten minutes earlier than planned.

As a result, by the time the police arrived, the shaking device had already stopped, and they couldn't find anything.

A while later, the neighbor called again, saying that the police had left and were no longer involved in the matter.

Aunt Wu was so angry that she cursed loudly at home, but it was no use, and no one paid any attention to her anymore.

Even though some neighbors suspected that Li Mu had used a building-shaking device, they felt a sense of satisfaction that the wicked should be punished by the wicked. They were too happy to remind Wu Dama's family of what was going on!

Finally, Li Mu got to vent his anger that had been building up for over a month.

Chapter 40 Going to work

In the early morning, Li Mu stretched and sat up from his two-meter-long bed. He opened the window, took a breath of fresh air, and gazed at the distant scenery. A new day had begun.

Today is Monday. After a few days of rest, it's finally time to go back to work.

Actually, this job is no longer necessary for him, and Li Mu is considering whether to resign.

Having a job helps me pass the time. Without a job, I'd be completely idle, and being too idle isn't good either.

He had been somewhat hesitant about this.

Li Mu's company is a cultural media company. It's not small. It gets busy at times, but there's also plenty of free time. The atmosphere is great.

Overall, the job is not bad, and the salary is acceptable, about 5,000 yuan per month.

Unable to decide whether to resign, he decided to work for a while longer and experience which lifestyle suited him better.

To avoid looking too drastic, Li Mu chose an outfit without any logos, with a more artistic feel: a cotton-linen shirt, cropped straight-leg pants, and white sneakers.

They look energetic and have a youthful, student-like air about them.

Nevertheless, upon arriving at the company and entering the office area, several familiar colleagues were immediately struck by the sight.

Sun Xiaoli asked curiously, "Li Mu, what have you been up to these past few days? You've become so charming!"

Li Mu joked, "Did I lack charm before? Sister Li, you're making me sad. If you weren't already taken, I was planning to pursue you!"

Sun Xiaoli rolled her eyes at him: "You can't expect anything good to come out of your mouth."

"However, you do have a great presence today."

A colleague next to him chimed in, "Yeah, now that I look at Li Mu, he seems like a rich kid."

Li Mu was speechless. "Are you guys that good at judging things?"

He shrugged: "What do you mean by 'I feel like a rich kid'? Can't I be a rich kid?"

The group looked him over for a while, and Sun Xiaoli nodded and said, "I didn't notice before, but looking closely, you really do look like a rich second generation."
