Chapter 138
Liang Yuan smiled and asked, “Where are your parents p>
“My dad went downstairs to move supplies after breakfast. He said there are still more than ten rooms’ worth of wooden planks that haven’t been taken down. He plans to finish it all today p>
“Grandpa Ma is nailing planks on the rooftop, and Grandma Li is taking care of the plants in the greenhouse downstairs p>
“What about your mom p>
“My mom went to the first floor. She said she was going fishing with Song Wen and the others. Brother Liang, my mom said she’ll come over when you start gutting the fish. In the meantime, she wants to fish a bit p>
Liang Yuan laughed, “No worries, they can plan their free time. I’m not a capitalist who can’t stand people being idle p>
Cai Yao giggled.
The study room door opened, and out walked Ding Yan, dressed in her back brace armor. “Cai Yao, what’s making you so happy p>
Clearly, she had heard the commotion.
“Aunt Ding Yan, Brother Liang is here, that’s why I’m happy p>
Ding Yan couldn’t help but ruffle her hair, “You have such a sweet mouth p>
Then, she looked at Liang Yuan and suddenly raised an eyebrow, surprised, “Did you get a little taller p>
Liang Yuan was stunned, “Really p>
Ding Yan walked up to him, gestured from the top of her head to Liang Yuan’s neck, and immediately said, “Definitely taller p>
“I used to reach your chin p>
Her tone was very certain.
Liang Yuan touched his nose, guessing that perhaps his body experienced a second growth spurt after increasing his attributes.
“Maybe. Anyway, I’m planning to clear out all the remaining units today. Are you free p>
Hearing this, Ding Yan’s eyes lit up, “I was just looking for you. Our progress was too slow yesterday, we need to speed up today p>
Liang Yuan laughed and said, “Then let’s go p>
The two walked out of the room. After instructing Cai Yao to lock the door, they headed towards the corridor.
As they passed the corridor entrance, they greeted Zhao Kai and then crossed the corridor towards the second unit.
Just after crossing the corridor, they saw Zhang Peng and Wen Lili.
The two were guarding the second unit and were talking to a few old men.
Seeing Liang Yuan and Ding Yan approaching, Wen Lili quickly ran over and said, “Brother Liang, Sister Ding, this old man says he knows you and begged us to find you. We didn’t want to disturb you, so please take a look p>
Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan walked over, and seeing the old men, he immediately showed a look of realization.
“Zheng Guoqiang p>
The old man in front of him was one of the elderly folks he had released from the rooftop.
Zheng Guoqiang saw Liang Yuan and was overjoyed that he still recognized him. He quickly came forward and said, “Brother Liang, I’m Zheng Guoqiang. So good to see you remember me p>
Liang Yuan raised an eyebrow, “I let you out back then, and then I never saw you again. Where did you go p>
Zheng Guoqiang replied awkwardly, “We were really scared and didn’t dare get involved in the matter between you and Liu Erlong, so we ran to the third unit p>
His straightforwardness made Liang Yuan have a bit more respect for him. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ.net
At the time, he released them to use them against Liu Erlong, to bolster his own standing.
He didn’t expect this group to be so cowardly that they disappeared without a trace.
So in Liang Yuan’s heart, he actually looked down on these old men he had once released.
A group that had been bullied by Liu Erlong to the point of breaking and had no will to resist even after being saved was not worth his attention.
His expression turned indifferent, and he said, “Liu Erlong has already been killed by me. There is no longer anyone in the building who can threaten you. You can peacefully fish and gather supplies now p>
Zheng Guoqiang smiled bitterly, “Brother Liang, it’s not that simple. You’ve been in the first unit, so you don’t know what’s been happening in units four, five, and six p>
“What do you mean?” Liang Yuan asked with a frown.
Zheng Guoqiang explained, “Even when Liu Erlong was alive, there was a gang in the sixth unit. Their crimes and atrocities are no less than Liu Erlong’s p>
“Liu Erlong only dared to bully the people in units one, two, and three but never dared to touch units four, five, and six because of that gang p>
Liang Yuan was immediately surprised. After killing Liu Erlong, he thought that the building was free of threats.
He hadn’t expected another group comparable to Liu Erlong’s gang to be in units four, five, and six.
He turned his head and looked at Wen Lili, “Wen Lili, Zhang Peng, do you know that gang p>
He naturally wouldn’t easily believe Zheng Guoqiang’s words, so he ignored him and instead asked Wen Lili directly.
Wen Lili nodded, “He must be talking about Wang Ze’s gang. Wang Ze lives on the top floor of the sixth unit, and he has Chen Hong and Zhou Wen under him p>
Zhang Peng quickly added, “Brother Liang, this gang is fierce. The corridor between units three and four is always blocked by them, with guards on every floor p>
“Even when Liu Erlong was around, to avoid conflict with them, he agreed to use the third unit as a buffer, handing over units four, five, and six to Wang Ze’s gang p>
“Units one and two were controlled by Liu Erlong. The third unit was a chaotic zone p>
“We were living in the cracks at that time p>
Liang Yuan’s eyes flickered. He then looked at Zheng Guoqiang and asked, “Why are you looking for me p>
Zheng Guoqiang wouldn’t seek him out for no reason and now brought up Wang Ze’s gang, so there must be something.
With a sad expression, Zheng Guoqiang said, “I heard from others that Brother Liang, you stand up for everyone, killed Liu Erlong’s gang, and are now working to fix the building. They said if we have any problems, we should come to you. So I’m here, shamelessly, to ask you to save my poor niece p>
