Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food

Chapter 41: Chapter 41 Ding Yan’s Growth

”Wang Yanmei!”

Liang Yuan turned his head and looked at Granny Li: ”Do you know her?”

”Yes, Wang Yanmei was the wife of Director Liu from the community street office. The little girl beside her is her daughter, Liu Chang.”

”Oh dear, it’s a sin.”

She had just finished speaking when she saw something, quickly covered her eyes, and dared not look again.

When Liang Yuan looked, he saw Liu Erlong forcing the mother and daughter to kneel before him.

He then loosened his waistband, and what he intended to do was self-evident.

Liang Yuan’s eyebrows twitched, and he quickly moved the drone away to observe the situation on floors twenty-nine, thirty, and thirty-one.

Everyone silently agreed not to mention the vulgar scene they had just witnessed.

”The person on the twenty-ninth floor is Mao Xiaoqiang. Originally, it was Zhou Jiaqiang’s apartment. Hey, isn’t that Zhou Jiaqiang’s wife? What is she doing with Mao Xiaoqiang...”

Old Ma saw the room on the twenty-ninth floor and couldn’t help but exclaim.

On the drone footage, Mao Xiaoqiang was with a middle-aged woman, he was touching her, and she dared not resist, forcing a smile.

When Ding Yan saw this woman, her eyes instantly filled with hatred. She gripped the crossbow arrow tightly, her breathing became heavier.

Liang Yuan glanced at her and decisively had the drone check the thirtieth floor.

The room on the thirtieth floor was pitch black, the balcony sealed off, making it impossible to see inside.

The thirty-first floor was the same, with the curtains drawn, it was Song Wen’s room.

Liang Yuan continued to investigate for a while longer and roughly understood the occupants of each floor.

”Didn’t find Wu Hua or Zhang Li, it seems they should be in the hallway.” Old Ma said.

Liang Yuan nodded, ”No surprise, these few are likely near Liu Erlong’s room, to band together and avoid being isolated.”

Liang Yuan thought for a moment, ”Let’s deal with the twenty-ninth floor first.”

Old Ma immediately asked, ”How?”

And Ding Yan quickly raised her head, ”Count me in!”

Liang Yuan nodded, ”Don’t rush. Let’s wait for Brother Cai to return and make a plan first.”

Old Ma nodded, ”This Mao Xiaoqiang is probably Liu Erlong’s trusted aide, otherwise he wouldn’t have the privilege to be in Liu Erlong’s room just now.”

Ding Yan added, ”We need to find a way to trick him into opening the door first.”

”Do you have any good ideas?” Liang Yuan asked.

Old Ma hesitated and looked at Ding Yan.

Ding Yan frowned, evidently unable to come up with a good idea.

Seeing Old Ma’s expression, Liang Yuan immediately understood that Old Ma had an idea but was hesitant to speak because of Ding Yan.

He immediately said, ”Old Ma, Ding Yan is one of us. If you have any ideas, share them.”

Ding Yan immediately raised her head and, seeing Old Ma’s expression, angrily said, ”Old Ma, what do you mean?”

Ma Guocai waved his hands repeatedly, ”It’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s just that my idea might be unfair to you, so...”

Ding Yan paused, then promptly said, ”Just tell me, as long as it helps kill that woman, I’m willing to do it!”

Ma Guocai hesitated for a moment, ”I heard that you were previously caught by Zhou Jiaqiang and had conflicts with his family?”

Ding Yan’s expression remained unchanged. Considering that Ma Guocai and Cai Zhi lived in the hallway, it wasn’t surprising that he knew about her and Fan Meiqin.

She didn’t deny it and nodded, ”You should know everything.”

Ma Guocai sighed, ”At that time, Xiaocai and I were also struggling to protect ourselves and couldn’t help you...”

Ding Yan waved her hand, ”Let’s not talk about the past. Tell me your plan.”

Ma Guocai hesitated again, ”I think you might be able to play the victim and use the opportunity to seek protection from Mao Xiaoqiang.”

”This guy, having occupied Zhou Jiaqiang’s wife and children, is definitely a lustful bastard. If you go to him voluntarily, he would likely open the door.”

”We have not been exposed yet, and this is our biggest ace.”

His words made Liang Yuan and Ding Yan ponder deeply.

Ma Guocai added, ”We’ll ambush him in the hallway. Once he opens the door, we’ll strike quickly and catch him off guard.”

This plan had a high success rate, but the key was whether Ding Yan could accept it.

Because this would reopen her wounds and remind her of past traumas.

Liang Yuan remained silent and looked at Ding Yan.

Granny Li couldn’t help but hit Old Ma’s arm and scolded, ”You old fool, are you trying to get killed? You know Xiaoding had a tough time, and you come up with this lousy idea...”

Ma Guocai showed a bitter smile, dared not retort, and shrunk backward.

Yang Mei couldn’t speak, so she stood beside Ding Yan and linked her arm, as if it would comfort Ding Yan.

Ding Yan’s face was stunned, recalling those painful days, her heart filled with hatred.

She was once dominated by Zhou Jiaqiang, descending into despair and accepting her fate.

She thought Zhou Jiaqiang would take her home and give her an explanation.

However, this man turned out to be a coward who feared his wife.

When he took her and Fan Meiqin back, she was slapped by that woman and even subjected to humiliation from other men called by her.

Fan Meiqin got scared, submitted, and allowed herself to be ravaged.

She even became like a lapdog, calling that woman master and bullying her.

When Zhou Jiaqiang returned, he chased away the other men but dared not argue with his wife, only locking her and Fan Meiqin in the hallway.

Like two dogs, he’d come to the hallway to vent his animal desires when bored.

At that time, she was truly despaired and numb.

Until Liang Yuan, fully armed, appeared before her, she suddenly realized she had a chance.

When she learned Zhou Jiaqiang was dead, she felt no sadness or fear, only excitement and relief.

Fan Meiqin, on the verge of panic, immediately suggested finding Liu Erlong to sleep with him and seek his favor.

Without hesitation, she killed that woman, knowing her fate could only be controlled by herself to have any hope of survival.

Thus she joined the alliance of Cai Zhi and Old Ma, demanding they take her to join Liang Yuan.

And she indeed managed to adapt quickly, becoming stronger, ruthless, fitting into this apocalyptic world.

Now, she faced her fate again.

Thinking of this, she suddenly smiled and looked up at Liang Yuan, ”Let me do it.”

Liang Yuan frowned, ”Don’t force yourself. If you don’t want to go, I have other ways.”

With his doubled power, he could wait for Mao Xiaoqiang to come out and ambush him, though it carried risks.

He wouldn’t know when Mao Xiaoqiang would exit, and during the wait, Liu Erlong’s men might show up and catch him.

Ding Yan smiled with a fierce glint, ”No, I want to do it.”

”Ding Yan...”

Yang Mei couldn’t help but speak, trying to persuade.

Ding Yan waved her hand and interrupted her.

”Yang Mei, the world is chaotic now. Unlike your luck, being Liang Yuan’s neighbor from the start.”

”My experience taught me to be strong and rely on myself to truly survive.”

”I envy you for having someone to lean on. I don’t. I must fight desperately.”

Looking at Yang Mei’s beautiful face, she said, ”I know you’re embarrassed to mention your relationship with Liang Yuan, but I tell you, in this apocalyptic world, only others envy you. You needn’t think too much.”

After saying this, she turned to Liang Yuan, ”It’s decided. I’ll lure him to open the door while you ambush around and strike.”

”Let’s wait for Brother Cai; I need to prepare a bit.”

With that, she walked toward the study, seemingly to make some equipment.

Liang Yuan watched her back, his heart sighed.

This is the apocalypse. Everyone grows.

But the price of growth can be hard to accept.

Yang Mei’s eyes turned slightly red, silently holding Liang Yuan’s hand and looking at him.

Liang Yuan glanced at her, the two exchanged looks, understanding each other without words.
