121: Chapter 121 The buffs are fully stacked

Here we go again...

The "thump, thump, thump" sound rang out overhead once more.

"Sigh~" Chen Sheng let out a sigh, pulled out his phone, and dialed 110.

"Hello! I'd like to report a disturbance. Someone here is constantly making noise and bothering the neighbors..."

"The police will be here in about 15 minutes." Chen Sheng put down the phone and instructed An Xiaonuan, "There's a Naughty Child upstairs. Don't go join the commotion later."

Hearing this, An Xiaonuan sat on the sofa with a displeased pout.

Chen Sheng's eyes darted around before suddenly lighting up. "Wife, later you do this..."

"Okay, okay, okay!" After hearing Chen Sheng's plan, An Xiaonuan was so happy she almost jumped up. She put on her slippers and rushed into the bedroom.

In the blink of an eye, ten minutes passed. There was a knock at the door. The two exchanged a look; An Xiaonuan quickly lay on her side on the sofa, while Chen Sheng walked slowly toward the door.

After opening the door and seeing two uniformed police officers, Chen Sheng quickly invited them inside. "Officers, you've finally arrived. Listen for yourselves and tell me if this counts as noise. My wife is pregnant, and with them doing this, she's on the verge of a nervous breakdown."

The police followed Chen Sheng's gaze to An Xiaonuan lying on the sofa. At this moment, her face was an unnaturally sickly pale, looking completely exhausted from the noise disturbance.

Coincidentally, the "thump, thump, thump" sound arrived right on cue at that moment.

Chen Sheng looked at the police with a mix of helplessness and expectation. "Officers, you see? It's really not that I'm looking for trouble. I've gone up to talk to them twice and even brought fruit... I really had no choice but to call the police."

The pale-faced An Xiaonuan added, "Officers, I'm pregnant and have to work tomorrow... Sigh! I really can't go on living like this."

That look as if she were about to burst into tears definitely deserved a hundred points.

"You two, don't worry yet. This is indeed a bit much. We'll go up and talk to them," the leading officer said with a frown.

"Thank you for the trouble." Chen Sheng hesitated before saying, "Um, Comrade Police Officer, I shouldn't have to go with you, right?"

"No need! We'll handle the talk."

After seeing the police off and hearing the door close, the previously "weak" An Xiaonuan instantly bounced up from the sofa. "How was it? Did I perform well just now?"

Chen Sheng pouted in distaste. "The acting was passable, but the powder on your face was a bit exaggerated. You don't need to be that pale just for being sick, do you?"

"Where was it exaggerated?" An Xiaonuan went to the mirror, striking various poses while complaining, "Besides, what could I do with so little time? It's already good enough that I managed to finish it."

After waiting for about ten minutes, there was another knock at the door. After the two exchanged a look, An Xiaonuan quickly hopped onto the sofa to lie down. Once she was settled, Chen Sheng unhurriedly opened the door. Seeing it was the same two officers, he quickly smiled and said, "Comrade Police Officers, have you finished the discussion?"

"Yes! The people upstairs have promised to be mindful of the impact. We're just letting you know before we leave." The officer gestured for his colleague to hand over a form. "This is the police report receipt. Please sign here."

"Thanks for the trouble!" Chen Sheng took the form and signed his name. "Comrade Police Officer, let me ask one more thing. If—and I mean if—the people upstairs still don't change, what should I do?"

There were plenty of similar examples online, and given how sharp-tongued and mean the Old Woman and the Fat Woman were, Chen Sheng didn't think police mediation would succeed on the first try.

"We can only mediate in these matters. If it happens again, besides calling the police, you can also look for the Property Management or the Neighborhood Committee Staff Members to step in."

Taking the receipt copy, Chen Sheng asked tentatively, "Is there no way to solve this once and for all?"

"We wish there was too," the officer replied humorously.

"As the saying goes, 'If you repay injury with kindness, how will you repay kindness? Repay kindness with kindness, and injury with justice.' Comrade Police Officer, can I also..."

Before Chen Sheng could finish, the officer interrupted him. "You're thinking of a vibration device, right? I wouldn't recommend it. Repaying injury with justice in that way only escalates the conflict and doesn't solve the actual problem. We should still focus on communication and try to find a balance between both parties to resolve the issue completely."

"And..." The officer hesitated for a while before continuing, "That family upstairs has an elderly person in their seventies, a child still in kindergarten, and a mother with a hospital-certified case of neurasthenia. So..."

Chen Sheng's eyes widened. "Holy crap! The BUFFs are fully stacked!"

"We've just seen it all before." The officer patted Chen Sheng's shoulder. "Alright! We're heading off. Remember to call the police if anything happens, and definitely don't use a vibration device or anything like that."

"The BUFFs upstairs are fully stacked; how would I dare!" Chen Sheng replied with a bitter smile.

After seeing off the police, Chen Sheng returned to the living room. An Xiaonuan quickly stood up and complained, "Why can they do it but we can't? So what if they have an old person and a child? I'm a pregnant woman!"

Chen Sheng stopped the irritable An Xiaonuan. "Alright, alright. Let's see what the people upstairs do first. If they still don't change, don't worry. I have my own clever plan."

"Hmm?" Seeing Chen Sheng's confidence, An Xiaonuan immediately asked curiously, "What method did you think of? Tell me. Let me see if it's wicked enough. If it's not wicked, I'm not doing it."

"Don't worry, it's definitely wicked enough to keep them from sleeping, and they won't be able to find any fault with it." Chen Sheng smiled mysteriously. "As for what the trick is? Allow me to keep you in suspense for now."

"Oh? Chen the Dog, you've learned how to keep secrets? Are you going to tell me or not?" An Xiaonuan made a move as if she were about to use her natural feminine wiles.

"Wait, a gentleman uses words, not hands... You, you, you, don't come over here." Chen Sheng quickly backed away.

An Xiaonuan stepped forward.

Soon, the entire living room became a scene of a chase, a game reeking of the sour stench of love.

However, just as the two were about to put their worries behind them, that familiar sound from overhead rang out again.

Thump, thump, thump~

This time it was even louder than before.

It was as if the people upstairs wanted to use this method to announce their dominance and fearlessness.

"Holy crap! If I don't show my power, do they really think I'm Hello Kitty?" An Xiaonuan rolled up her sleeves.

Chen Sheng stopped An Xiaonuan again, and the two sat back on the sofa. "I see how it is. They're clearly planning to be unreasonable. Since they're being unreasonable, I won't be polite either."

Chen Sheng got up, took out a pair of noise-canceling headphones from the bedroom, and handed them to An Xiaonuan. "Just make do for tonight. Watch me tomorrow."

An Xiaonuan was so annoyed by the noise from above that she lost interest in asking what Chen Sheng planned to do. Taking the noise-canceling headphones, she said listlessly, "Fine! I'll see what you do tomorrow."

...

In the blink of an eye, the next day arrived.

Because of the noise-canceling headphones, today was another day An Xiaonuan was late. Therefore, before getting out of the car, she specifically reminded him, "I still remember what you said yesterday."

Chen Sheng patted his chest confidently. "Guaranteed to satisfy you."

Watching An Xiaonuan leave, Chen Sheng drove straight to Wei Ge Audiophile Club. His goal was clear: "I want four sets of those bone conduction speakers you have in the shop."

Three sets wasn't his limit, but the house's limit. He'd put one each in the living room, bedroom, bathroom, and balcony.

After buying the bone conduction speakers, Chen Sheng asked the Shop Assistant to recommend a connector. Through this connector, he could group the bone conduction speakers and control the number of units playing at will.

He had the Shop Assistant set it up right there in the shop. Chen Sheng tested the effect and could only say it was fantastic. Satisfied, he paid the bill and left.

Back in the car, he began today's routine.

He opened the system panel.

Following the old routine, he rubbed his hands together until they were warm and then clicked on the unread intelligence.

"What the heck?"

Although he didn't know who Yan He was, given the address, he immediately thought of the Fat Woman living upstairs.

At the same time, through yesterday's brief encounter, he knew the Fat Woman was audacious, but he still didn't expect her to be this ridiculously audacious.

She actually went and got a fake certificate.

"Impressive~" He admitted defeat.
