Wu Dai had to hear these kinds of comments from his parents several times a day. It was clear they were just worried someone else would buy the house they'd been eyeing.

He could only respond, "Mom, Dad, it's not even been seven days yet. Why are you so anxious? And don't worry, that house isn't going anywhere. No one's buying at Lanting right now."

"Really? Ah, I don't believe it," his parents would grumble, repeating the same doubts.

Seeing this, Wu Dai simply gave up.

Let them grumble. After all, his parents didn't have enough money to secretly go and buy the house. In seven days, everything would be clear.

By the seventh day, the outside world was in chaos, but in Jiang Yiqing's fan group, it remained calm.

"Pfft, why rush? There's still half a day left."

"Exactly, I'm so over it, I can't even be bothered to argue with them."

"Emm... but the things they're saying are pretty irritating."

"Yeah, seriously, anyone near Lanting?"

"What do you mean?"

"How about... we go take a look? We can see it firsthand, should be safe, right?"

"Yeah, let's just keep our distance. I've got nothing to do, so let's go."

"Go, go, go, hahaha, whoever thought of this idea is a genius!"

Wu Dai and his wife quietly packed up their things and knocked on his parents' door. "Mom, Dad, since you don't believe it, we'll go check it out in person!"

That's right, it was Wu Dai who suggested going to the site. "Seeing is believing, hearing is deceiving." He wanted to show his parents firsthand so they wouldn't doubt it when the building collapsed and they hadn't seen it with their own eyes.

So, the staff at Lanting's sales office were shocked to see so many people show up today!

Recently, the place had been a ghost town, with staff bored out of their minds every day, but now, people were coming in—lots of them. They were all excited.

It must be the seventh day. These people had seen nothing happen and were now coming to buy houses!

The salespeople were thrilled and immediately started showing people around. But when they got to the entrance of the Lanting complex, no one wanted to go inside.

"Hmm... we'll stay here. Who knows which 8 buildings will collapse, let's just stay far away, safer this way."

"Yeah, good point. I was about to go in, but now I think I'll just stay outside."

"Life's important, life's important."

Salespeople: "!?"

Then, they watched as more people came in one after another. None of them were there to buy a house!

What could they do? They couldn't just kick everyone out, could they?

After a moment's thought, the salespeople realized that it was actually good for these people to be here. If the building didn't collapse later, they might end up buying a house after all.

So, instead of kicking them out, the salespeople began running around, offering chairs and pouring tea.

After all, they had nothing to do anyway. They might as well join in on the spectacle.

Just then, a man in flip-flops walked over, frowning. "Why are so many people gathered here?"

This man was the one who had bought a house at Lanting and had stubbornly refused to move out.

The occupancy rate hadn't been high to begin with, and with more people leaving because they were scared, the whole building was now left with only him.

At first, the man had been a little scared, but then he figured it couldn't be true. So, he continued living there, despite his fear. Days went by, and nothing had happened.

He suddenly felt like that internet celebrity was just a fraud, spreading rumors!

Seeing as it was already the seventh day and nothing had happened, he had no more worries. He went out for breakfast, planning to go back home and take a nap.

However, when he came back, he saw that the entrance of the complex was packed with people. Were they here to see the houses?

Scratching his head, he didn't pay much attention. He swiped his card to enter the complex, but was stopped by the crowd.

"Big brother, don't go in! The buildings are about to collapse!"

"Yeah, yeah, don't go in, it's not safe!"

"Stay with us outside."

The man was suddenly blocked, and when he heard these people's words, he couldn't help but laugh in anger. "What nonsense are you talking? Do you really believe the building will collapse? I don't. This is my home. Let me through!"

"It's not like that, big brother! You're really in danger!" Someone tried to stop him again.

"Go away, go away! You're all crazy!" The man snorted, shrugged them off, and swiped his card to enter the complex.

The crowd could only watch, helpless. Well, they couldn't say they hadn't tried to stop him.

Fuming, the man was irritated. Who would want their house to collapse? Hearing them say that was enough to drive him crazy.

He was about to pull out his phone and rant about how neurotic these people were when he suddenly felt the ground shake. Behind him, there was a shout, "The building really collapsed! Run!"

His heart started pounding, and when he looked up, his eyes widened in shock. Not far away, a building was slowly bending, with large chunks of debris falling off...

The man's mind went blank, his legs went weak, and he instinctively ran toward the exit of the complex, even twisting his ankle but not stopping.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the building continued to bend until it finally collided with the neighboring building, blocking it from falling further.

The onlookers were pale, and the faster ones had already uploaded the videos online.

"Whew... good thing we didn't go in, a lot of stuff fell down just now."

"Scared the hell out of me, it felt like an earthquake."

"Hey, big brother, why are you crying? You just twisted your ankle, it's not that serious, right?"

The crowd looked down and saw the man, who had been impatient with them just moments ago, now sitting on the ground, crying loudly.

It was hard to know what to say when a grown man was crying like that. The crowd immediately started comforting him.

"Hey, big brother, you're not seriously scared, right? It's fine, you're okay, that's what matters."

"Yeah, if it were my house that collapsed, I'd cry too."

"Come to think of it, this big brother is kind of pitiful..."

The crowd said, their eyes full of sympathy for the man.

Wiping his tears, the man didn't even think about all that. After all, who could focus on anything else after surviving a life-or-death situation?
