Nancy put her ear close to the door and heard the person outside constantly using something to pry the door lock. The back of her clothes was soaked with cold sweat.

No, she couldn't just sit there and wait for the other party to break in. What if she over-defended herself and was guilty? Or maybe she couldn't beat the man, then what would happen to An An?

The best solution at the moment is to get rid of him with the help of others before he succeeds in prying the door open!

Nancy gasped and carefully put down the iron rod in her hand without making a sound. Then, with trembling hands, she clicked on the property management's contact information. After quickly contacting the property management, she dialed 110.

"Hey, I want to call the police."

Nancy lowered her voice and quickly stated her current situation and address in the simplest terms.

"Yes, ma'am, we understand. We'll send the police right away. Please do your best to defend yourself in the room."

After listening to the other party's words, Nancy nodded and hung up the phone. She picked up the iron rod again, and no longer squatted next to the door. Instead, she avoided the peephole and stood next to the door.

She didn't dare to blink, holding the iron rod in her hand. As long as someone outside rushed in, she would hit the person on the head with the rod.

Thump, thump.

In the quiet home at night, Nancy could hear not only the sound of the man constantly picking the lock, but also the sound of her own rapid heartbeat.

Could it be the man in black wearing a baseball cap?

Apart from that man, she couldn't think of anyone else.

For a moment, she dared not breathe, and was looking forward to the arrival of the property management and the police.

"Mother."

At this time, Zhou Anan suddenly rubbed her eyes and walked out of the room. She called Nancy in a baby voice, not knowing what had happened.

Nancy's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly put her index finger in front of her mouth towards Zhou Anan. She slowly shook her head, signaling her daughter not to make a sound.

But she was still a step too late. Just as Zhou Anan spoke, Nancy was horrified to find that there was no movement outside the door!

Nancy thought to herself that something was wrong, and the next second there was a bang bang bang sound at the door, as if someone was kicking it like crazy!

Zhou Anan was startled, her eyes instantly red. She pouted and ran towards Nancy, shouting, "Mom!"

Nancy quickly caught Zhou Anan and hugged her small body tightly.

Zhou Anan cried fearfully in Nancy's arms, her little hands tightly clutching Nancy's clothes.

Nancy patted Zhou Anan's back gently, stepped back a few steps behind the door, stared at the door, and gently comforted Zhou Anan, saying, "Don't be afraid, Anan, everything will be fine soon, everything will be fine soon..."

The sound of kicking the door became louder and louder, and more powerful each time.

The person outside seemed to find that he couldn't kick the door open just by kicking it, so he picked up something and started hitting the door. With the help of the external object, the door began to tremble slightly after a while.

Zhou Anan's small body trembled in Nancy's arms. Her lips trembled, and she buried her head in Nancy's arms and said in panic: "Mom, Anan is so scared, Anan is really scared, why hasn't Dad come back yet, Anan misses Dad, where is Dad..."

Nancy's heartbeat was getting faster and faster. She couldn't concentrate on comforting Zhou Anan. She hugged Zhou Anan tightly with one hand and held the iron rod tightly with the other.

Even if the property management and the police didn't arrive before that man rushed in, she would protect Zhou Anan even if she had to go to jail.

This door won't hold for long, we need to find something to block it.

Nancy decisively squatted in front of Zhou Anan, trying to calm down and put on a smile, saying, "Anan, stand here first. Mom will find something to block the door."

Without saying anything more, she put Zhou Anan down where she was, stood in the living room, looked around, and then set her sights on the wooden storage cabinet.

It took two couriers to move the cabinet up there, so Nancy's face turned red as she pushed it, and she was struggling.

"Mom, mom, An An will help you."

Zhou Anan's little body was shaking with crying. Although Anan was very scared, she knew that she couldn't cause trouble for her mother at this time. She bit her lips tightly, ran to Nancy, and pushed the cabinet like Nancy.

Nancy pushed the cabinet hard, tried to smile at Zhou Anan, and uttered a voice through gritted teeth: "Anan is awesome."

The two of them finally pushed the cabinet behind the door. With something blocking it, the door seemed to shake less.

Nancy quickly picked up Zhou Anan, but she fell to the ground after taking just one step because she was exhausted.

She hissed, ignoring the pain in her knees and the tingling in her palms. She picked up the iron rod, gritted her teeth, and picked up Zhou Anan again and brought her to the bathroom.

She put Zhou An'an down, quickly locked the door, touched Zhou An'an's face and said gently: "Don't be afraid, An'an, mom will protect you."

Zhou Anan bit her lip and nodded.

"Open the door, bitch!"

Suddenly, the person outside the door seemed to realize that something was blocking the door from inside, and kicked the door in frustration.

Even though Nancy was in the bathroom, she could still hear the man's faint curses and the sound of him kicking the door.

She stood by the bathroom door, while Zhou Anan hugged her thighs, pursed her lips and tried not to make any sound.

Gradually, there was no more noise outside the door.

hum.

Nancy's phone lit up. She hurriedly took it out and saw that it was a message from the property management.

Property management: "Miss Nan, we have already controlled the person, you can rest assured."

When Nancy saw the news, she was immediately relieved. She slumped down against the wall and let go of the iron rod in her hand, making a clanging sound.

At this moment, her tears could not be controlled and she quickly hugged Zhou Anan's head and said tremblingly: "It's okay, Anan, we are safe."

Zhou Anan couldn't help it and started crying in Nancy's arms.

After a while, Nancy settled Zhou Anan down, washed her face, moved the cabinet away again, and then opened the door.

"Excuse me, were you the one who called the police?"

A man in police uniform quickly came over.

Nancy nodded, glanced at the man pinned to the ground by another police officer, and asked, "Was he the one who broke down my door?"

The man was fat and looked completely different from the man in the baseball cap whom he had met in the past few days.

She was wrong, but when did this man set his sights on her?

Nancy looked up at the police officer in confusion and asked, "Can you tell me why it was me?"

During this period, she just picked up Zhou Anan from school, bought groceries and cooked, and occasionally did part-time remote accounting work at home.

She had absolutely no impression of this man.

After a while, the policeman came back and repeated the fat man's words to her. Nancy felt a chill down her spine.

Perhaps the police officer noticed something was wrong with her, so he softened his voice and said, "Next time you're home alone, you should leave a pair of men's shoes outside the door. It's safer that way."
