Chapter 139
Liang Yuan asked calmly, “Oh? What’s up with your niece p>
“I have a niece named Zheng Yuanyuan. She lives in Unit 6, but I’ve been unable to contact her. I heard from people that they saw her hanging around Wang Ze p>
“I fear my niece has already been taken over by Wang Ze and his gang.” Read complete version only at ÍŸ.net
“Poor thing, she just graduated from college not long ago and now has to suffer such indignities from these villains. I… I’m a useless uncle p>
As he spoke, tears streamed down his face, making him look pitiful.
Even Wen Lili nearby couldn’t help but get teary-eyed and said, “I heard that Zhou Wen in Wang Ze’s gang is a notorious lecher. If she’s fallen into his hands, she’s probably… sigh p>
She couldn’t bear to continue. Zhang Peng said nothing, just looked at Liang Yuan, waiting for him to speak.
Liang Yuan showed no expression, but Ding Yan beside him already had red eyes, fury bubbling within.
She detested those who defiled women the most!
Clang!
She hammered the side armrest with her fist and cursed, “A bunch of scum, they deserve to die p>
“Liang Yuan, let’s go kill those bastards right now p>
Liang Yuan glanced at her, unsure if Ding Yan was affected by the Mutation Progress or due to her personal experiences.
He could clearly feel Ding Yan’s temper growing more irritable, and a stronger bloodlust.
“Could the Mutation Progress affect one’s personality p>
“Although I interrupted her mutant awakening process at the time, the mental chaos crisis left a mark, intensifying her temper and bloodlust p>
Liang Yuan wondered but then said, “Don’t be hasty. Wang Ze must be unusual to gather so many people around him. Zheng Guoqiang, how much do you know about him p>
Zheng Guoqiang quickly replied, “Wang Ze keeps a low profile. Few have seen him, and we know little about him p>
“But he has two henchmen, one named Chen Hong and the other named Zhou Wen p>
“These two commit most of the crimes in Wang Ze’s gang p>
“That Chen Hong, he’s ruthless and kills without blinking p>
“Just yesterday, he beheaded a young man with an axe at the entryway of Unit 4, to scare some residents who were thinking of fleeing to Unit 3 p>
“And as for Zhou Wen, he’s just as Miss Wen said, a lecher. He occupies three rooms across Units 4, 5, and 6, with over a dozen women under his control p>
Liang Yuan frowned, not hearing what he wanted to know.
So he directly asked, “How many people are in Wang Ze’s gang? Any Mutant Ability Users p>
“I… I don’t know p>
Zheng Guoqiang was at a loss for words, as he had no clue about these details.
Liang Yuan then looked at Wen Lili and Zhang Peng.
Both of them shook their heads, evidently knowing nothing either.
Liang Yuan frowned. He was always cautious. Even with his attributes and strength significantly boosted, he wouldn’t arrogantly assume he was invincible.
Mutant Abilities come in numerous varieties. Xu Lihua can even parasitically take over others.
He didn’t want to encounter some bizarre Mutant Ability User and get killed in a baffling manner.
He looked at Zheng Guoqiang and said sternly, “If you want my help, it’s not impossible, but I need first-hand information on Wang Ze’s gang p>
Zheng Guoqiang was taken aback, thinking this young man, capable of killing Liu Erlong, would be a chivalrous person who hates evil.
He thought confiding in him would incite immediate righteous fury and help.
Never did he expect Liang Yuan to ask him to figure out how to gather intel.
He was momentarily stunned and stood there in a daze.
Ding Yan couldn’t help but look at Liang Yuan and said, “Liang Yuan, why don’t we just charge in? We’ll know what Wang Ze’s gang is capable of after a fight, won’t we p>
Liang Yuan frowned, glanced at Ding Yan, and said flatly, “Even Liu Erlong almost had a mutant awakening. Wang Ze’s gang has been around for so long and has been consuming Mutant Fish. I doubt they don’t have any Mutant Ability Users p>
“Most likely, Wang Ze himself is a Mutant Ability User. We don’t know his Mutant Ability or his methods. Rushing in blindly and not being his match would expose our cards, wouldn’t it p>
“If he then seizes the chance to attack Unit 1, you and I could escape, but what about the others p>
Ding Yan was stunned, not knowing how to respond.
Liang Yuan continued, “Your strength has greatly increased, and you’ve awakened a Mutant Ability, giving you some self-defense. But that doesn’t mean you are invincible. Remember the recent Xu Lihua incident p>
“Her Parasitic Ability could easily deceive you. If she attacked you suddenly, could you fend her off p>
“Ding Yan, you need to change your mindset. Don’t think that just because you have a Mutant Ability, you are invincible p>
“If you can acquire a Mutant Ability, so can others p>
“Once you lose your vigilance and respect for the unknown, death will follow closely p>
“Think about your parents, whose fate is still uncertain, before making any decisions p>
These words were particularly harsh.
Ding Yan paused her breathing slightly, her expression becoming heavier.
Liang Yuan rarely got angry or spoke sternly to those around him.
Today, he had shown no mercy with his words to her.
Ding Yan felt an inexplicable panic.
Her face changed slightly, and she quietly lowered her head, reflecting on her recent changes.
Since killing Fan Meiqin, she had changed enormously.
She became colder, more indifferent to life, more ruthless.
She sensed that Sister Wu, Brother Cai, Granny Li—they were all deliberately keeping their distance from her.
