The night fell, and the property manager posted the following seven rules in the group in bold red letters.

I looked at the bright red text on my phone screen and felt a chill down my spine.

Ding dong! A new message popped up on WeChat, and some homeowners had already replied in the group.

403 Homeowner: [Has the property management been reading too many novels? Instead of wasting time on this nonsense, they should think about increasing the greenery in the neighborhood.]

501 Homeowner: [Well said! Property manager, please respond.]

Many people echoed their sentiments in the comments below.

The property manager seemed as if they hadn't seen any of the messages and didn't reply to any of them.

The homeowners got bored with the discussion and changed the topic.

403 Homeowner: [It's really hard to make money nowadays. I only earned seven figures this month. Sigh.]

I kept an eye on the group chat, and 403 Homeowner's message reminded me of the first rule.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, I quickly sent a thumbs-up emoji and added a comment.

[Wow, brother, you're amazing! I'm envious in real life.]

Other homeowners started sending messages, mostly asking for advice on how to earn that much money.

403 Homeowner continued to flaunt their eight-figure savings and showed no intention of revealing their path to wealth.

501 Homeowner: [Haha, you guys really believe it? Even through the internet, anyone can boast. Who knows, maybe he's just a poor loser.]

My heart started beating faster. 501 Homeowner broke the first rule. What would happen next?

Soon, a notification appeared in the group that 501 Homeowner had been removed.

The group fell into silence, and a message from the property manager popped up.

[501 Homeowner has violated the rules and will be erased.]

As I looked at the bold red text, I clenched my phone tightly. This was too absurd; it must be just a prank.

Just as I was thinking that, a deafening scream echoed throughout the entire building.
