Chapter 57: Wang Yong’s Vision
At this moment, behind the screen, Zhang Qian found an unknown burst of strength.
Perhaps it was the two security guards’ carelessness that gave Zhang Qian an opportunity.
She actually broke free from the control of the two adult male security guards.
She immediately ran in front of Li Jin, grabbed his collar, and questioned him loudly.
“Why!! Why did you become like this!!”
“Tell me, was Big Brother Wang forcing you to say it? Was Big Brother Wang forcing you to do it!!”
As Zhang Qian spoke, small pearls of tears continuously fell from her eyes onto the ground.
It was fortunate that they were indoors, and the temperature wasn’t that extreme.
If she had stayed outside for a few minutes like this, her eyes would probably have frozen.
However, facing Zhang Qian’s questions, Li Jin broke free from her grasp.
He forcefully slapped Zhang Qian across the face, knocking her to the ground.
An adult man’s slap to the face is extremely painful.
Moreover, Li Jin had acted in anger, fueled by shame and indignation.
There was no restraint in the force of his hand.
Zhang Qian, lying on the ground, spat out a mouthful of bright red blood and three teeth.
She looked at the person in front of her with utter disbelief.
Until just now, she had still thought that Li Jin was being threatened by Wang Yong and was merely putting on an act for her.
It wasn’t until she took that solid slap.
Only when it hit her did she realize the pain.
Wang Yong and his group watched the entire scene with cold eyes, showing no intention of intervening.
It wasn’t until Li Jin’s slap that Wang Yong felt the time was right.
He threw a fruit knife, embedding it into the carpet.
The two were startled at first by this sudden action.
Then, Li Jin’s expression changed.
Only two words were visible on his face: fear!
At this moment, he remembered what Wang Yong had said about stabbing someone seven times.
Zhang Qian’s reaction, however, was one of pure joy.
Seeing Zhang Qian walk towards the fruit knife, just about to pick it up.
Li Jin quickly ran forward and used his body to push Zhang Qian away.
Then, he turned and picked up the fruit knife from the ground.
But just then, he suddenly felt a chill on his back.
“Hiss!!”
What followed was a sharp pain emanating from his body.
[Explanation: The fruit knife I’m referring to here has a handle about 7-8 cm long, a blade two fingers wide, and a blade length of 15 cm. The entire fruit knife is approximately 25 cm long, not the kind of fruit knife that is less than 10 cm in total length.]
Feeling the blade being pulled out of his body, Li Jin forcibly endured the pain and turned to look at Zhang Qian.
But Zhang Qian showed no mercy and stabbed Li Jin once more.
This time, Li Jin watched with his own eyes as his body was stabbed.
Enraged, he used his last ounce of strength to grip Zhang Qian’s knife-wielding hand.
And the knife in his own hand was aimed at her heart.
Perhaps due to his injuries, Li Jin did not manage to stab Zhang Qian in the heart, but instead in the lung.
Li Jin then collapsed onto the ground due to severe injuries.
And Zhang Qian, too, was not far from death because of that stab.
At this moment, the weakened Li Jin asked,
“Your knife… where did the knife come from?”
“If… if it weren’t for this knife, I would have… I would have survived!!”
At this point, among the property management staff, a female employee stepped forward and said,
“As her colleague for so many years, it’s perfectly reasonable for me to hand her a fruit knife, isn’t it?”
“If Big Brother Wang hadn’t forbidden us from interfering, I would have stabbed a scumbag like you countless times already.”
Finally, Li Jin lost his heartbeat in indignation.
Wang Yong looked at Zhang Qian, who was still clinging to life.
“Little Zhang, do you have any last wishes? If it’s within my capabilities, I can try my best to fulfill them for you.”
Zhang Qian said nothing, merely staring blankly at the ceiling, coughing continuously, and awaiting death.
At this moment, Wang Yong called over his nephew, Wang Cai.
Then, he dismissed everyone else.
Wang Cai was somewhat unsure why Wang Yong had kept him behind.
But Wang Yong then whispered to Wang Cai for a long time.
Wang Cai’s eyes went from initial shock to eventual acceptance.
Finally, as he was leaving, he confirmed with Wang Yong again.
“Do we really have to hide the bodies of these two?”
“But don’t we still have a lot of food?”
Wang Yong was furious at this moment.
He silently chanted, ‘This is my sister’s orphan, this is my sister’s orphan, this is my sister’s orphan.’
“Don’t worry about it so much, just do as I say.”
“Tell them to dig a hole and preserve these people’s bodies, and if there are any bodies that didn’t die from illness later, put them in there too. The excuse to the outside will be that they are being stored uniformly for future disposal.”
“Sigh, don’t blame your old uncle for this; I have no choice. Food will eventually run out, and besides, we distribute so much food every day. One portion isn’t much, but the sheer quantity adds up.”
“I’m also preparing a backup plan for myself. If there wasn’t an absolute necessity, who would want to touch this stuff.”
“Remember, once we eat it, we can no longer be considered human.”
“It won’t be used unless it’s absolutely necessary.”
With Wang Yong’s explanation, Wang Cai felt much more at ease.
He gathered people to carry the two bodies out and, according to Wang Yong’s requirements, found a suitable place and started digging.
It was at this moment that Hu Lili’s message appeared again in the Building 9 group chat.
Hu Lili: “@1001 Liang Yu.”
Hu Lili: “Liang Yu, are you there?”
Hu Lili: “About yesterday, I apologize to you. It was my fault, I’m sorry.”
Hu Lili: “Today I want to talk to you properly. I hope you can give me a chance for old times’ sake.”
However, today there was an extra person speaking up for her.
1801 Xie Jiarong: “@1001 Liang Yu, Liang Yu, are you even a man? She’s being so humble, can’t you just give her a chance?”
1801 Xie Jiarong: “No matter what mistakes she made before, she’s apologized so sincerely. What fault can’t be forgiven?”
……….
Liang Yu heard the notification sound again.
He then realized that the three hours had passed so quickly.
He looked at the palm-sized glass ball in his hand with lingering satisfaction, put it into his backpack, and duplicated it.
Then, he took out another one, carefully placing it in the middle of a pillow, afraid it might accidentally bump into something.
Afterward, he checked the messages.
As soon as he saw Xie Jiarong pop up, he didn’t even read the content of Xie Jiarong’s message.
His first thought was whether these owners thought he was easy to fool.
Xie Jiarong actually had time to speak up for someone else. He confirmed that there was still some time until 6 PM.
He felt that he absolutely had to change the rules again tomorrow.
Then, he directly found the uploaded video in the group and threw it all to the wristband system for inspection.
Sure enough, just as he expected, these owners really saw his previous statement and concluded that he wouldn’t be checking videos today.
