"Old Ma, bring this with you."
3202, Granny Li suddenly remembered something and hurriedly took off a jade pendant from her chest and put it on Ma Guocai.
Ma Guocai gave a bitter smile and said, "Donāt be nervous. This time, with so many of us, even if weāre not successful, weāll be able to retreat whole and unharmed."
Granny Li quickly hit his arm and said, "Spit, spit, spit, what do you mean ānot successfulā? Donāt say such nonsense."
She then whispered, "Youāre older now, not like those young ones. Donāt be at the front too much, alright?"
Old Ma smiled and said, "I know, donāt worry. Xiaoliang and Xiaocai are all very shrewd. Xiaoliang has killed before. Iām just going to bolster the momentum."
Granny Li sighed and muttered, "How did this world end up like this..."
Meanwhile, in the master bedroom, Wu Qian dressed Cai Zhi and said, "I put plywood inside here. I wanted to find steel plates, but Iām afraid theyād be too heavy for you."
Cai Zhi patted his clothes and felt the hard boards inside, smiling, "Where did you learn this?"
Wu Qian smiled, "I saw Yang Mei sewing clothes for Xiaoliang next door today. She put steel plates inside. Thatās when I thought of it. Time was a bit tight, so I could only sew them simply inside for you."
Cai Zhi smiled, "Itās enough. Xiaoliang is strong. Steel plates in his clothes wonāt affect his movements. At my age, if itās too heavy, going up the stairs would be tough. Plywood is good enough."
As he spoke, he finished putting on his jacket, quite satisfied.
Wu Qian picked up an electric scooter helmet beside her and handed it to him, saying, "Yang Mei is really fortunate to have met Liang Yuan at a time like this."
"Just look at Ding Yan, sigh..."
Cai Zhi also sighed and said, "Everyone has their own fate. From what I see of Yang Mei now, she must have completely forgotten about Li Zhiqiang. Now she is wholly devoted to Liang Yuan."
Wu Qian also nodded, "Indeed, but in a world like this, such a beautiful woman canāt survive without relying on a young and strong man."
Cai Zhi nodded, "This world is completely chaotic now; in the future, itās really going to be the one with the biggest fists that will be right."
As they spoke, they had already prepared everything.
In the living room, Zhao Kai was bowing his head, holding a fruit knife in his hand.
With no sharpening stone at home, he used a ceramic bowl, gently honing the blade.
From the balcony, Ding Yan was staring blankly at the pouring rain outside.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
Suddenly, there was a knocking sound.
The room immediately fell silent. Zhao Kai stopped sharpening the knife, and Ding Yan turned to look at the door.
The master bedroom and the secondary bedroom doors opened simultaneously.
Ma Guocai and Cai Zhi almost walked out at the same time.
Cai Zhi exchanged a glance with everyone and quickly walked to the door, asking, "Who is it?"
"Itās me."
Liang Yuanās voice came from outside the door, and Cai Zhi let out a breath.
He opened the door, and there stood a tall and strong figure in the dark hallway.
Cai Zhi was taken aback, seeing Liang Yuan, who seemed even bulkier, couldnāt help but laugh, "How much stuff did you stuff inside your clothes?"
Liang Yuan smiled, "Better safe than sorry. Are you ready?"
"Almost, just waiting for you." Ma Guocai walked over.
He had also put on a helmet.
Zhao Kai said nothing, silently stood up, and walked to the door.
Among the group, only he and Ding Yan were not wearing any defensive gear.
Liang Yuan glanced at him and asked, "Is there an extra helmet at home? Give him one."
Old Ma was about to answer, but Zhao Kai shook his head, "No need."
Liang Yuan raised an eyebrow but heard Zhao Kai say softly, "Iām afraid if I wear too much, I wonāt be able to catch Mao Xiaoqiang if he runs."
Liang Yuan was stunned, understanding Zhao Kaiās determination to kill from his words.
He said nothing, turned to Ding Yan, and asked, "Are you ready?"
Ding Yan nodded, "Donāt worry, Iāve thought out the words. There shouldnāt be any issues."
"Good, then letās go."
Liang Yuan nodded, taking the lead and standing at the front.
Old Cai followed behind him, Ding Yan in the middle, and Old Ma at the end.
They moved quietly and quickly toward the 29th floor.
The hallway was silent. Some coughing sounds echoed from the corridor direction, indicating someone lived there.
No one cared, and soon they reached the 29th floor.
Liang Yuan stopped and exchanged a glance with Cai Zhi.
Cai Zhi nodded slightly and stopped while signaling to Old Ma.
According to the plan, the two of them would be ambushed in the upstairs hallway.
Liang Yuan looked at Zhao Kai, who silently walked down the stairs.
He and Liang Yuan were going to be ambushed in the downstairs hallway.
Ding Yan was responsible for tricking Mao Xiaoqiang into opening the door.
The five had clear roles and went to their assigned positions.
Liang Yuan and Zhao Kai squatted down, hidden as much as possible at the third and fourth steps of the stairs to avoid being seen by Mao Xiaoqiang.
Everything was ready. Ding Yan took a deep breath and raised her hand to knock on the door.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
Inside room 2901, Mao Xiaoqiang, naked, was lying on top of Zhou Jiaqiangās wife, Qian Li, venting his animalistic desires.
In the bedroom was Zhou Jiaqiangās son, Zhou Jie.
Zhou Jie, at only fourteen, was locked in the master bedroom.
No matter how much Zhou Jiaqiangās wife tried to suppress her voice, Zhou Jie knew everything.
He was hiding in the master bedroom in humiliation, not daring to think about what was happening outside.
In fact, when the news of his fatherās death arrived, he was almost scared to death.
If it wasnāt for his mother begging Mao Xiaoqiang, he would have been beaten to death already by Mao Xiaoqiang.
Another series of knocks was heard.
Mao Xiaoqiang, who was tormenting the woman, paused slightly and asked, "Did you hear something?"
Zhou Jiaqiangās wife, Qian Li, in her forties, had a plump figure, with especially prominent large breasts.
She was a typical middle-aged woman, with a belly full of flab, sagging large breasts, and loose skin.
But Mao Xiaoqiang particularly liked this type.
He always found those young girls uninteresting, playing with them was like handling bamboo poles.
This kind of middle-aged woman was much more fun.
Qian Li, hearing this, also tried to endure the numbness and said, "It seems like thereās a sound."
"Could it be that little bastard of yours making trouble?" Mao Xiaoqiang suspected.
Qian Liās face changed, quickly saying, "No way, Brother Qiang, he knows the rules. He wouldnāt dare to act out."
"Haha, that little bastard, seeing his mother getting fucked, maybe heās excited?" Mao Xiaoqiang laughed loudly, raising his voice, seeming to shout deliberately for Zhou Jie in the master bedroom to hear.
Qian Li was ashamed beyond words and pleaded, "Brother Qiang, I beg you, please donāt say that."
But Mao Xiaoqiang found this exceptionally stimulating and became even more excited.
"Hahaha, damn it, Iāve told you many times, while weāre doing it, call me husband, got it?"
Qian Li flushed red with embarrassment and shame, not daring to say anything.
At that moment, the knocking sound came again.
This time, both of them heard it clearly.
Mao Xiaoqiang was suspicious, not bothering to dress, picked up a fruit knife from the table, and walked to the door, shouting, "Who is it?"
Ding Yanās voice came from outside the door, "Mao... Brother Mao, itās me, Ding Yan. I havenāt eaten anything all day. Can you... Can you give me something to eat?"
