Seeing him in this state, Zhang Lanjuan immediately felt her heart pounding wildly. She hurriedly knelt and kowtowed, crying out, "Mr. Liang, Brother Liang, our Xiaoxu truly knows he was wrong. Please, I beg you, spare him this time. He really wonât dare to do it again."
Sun Xu was also terrified to the extreme. He had of course heard of Liang Yuanâs reputation of killing without a blink.
Even Liu Erlong and Wang Zeâs murderous followers like Chen Hong, Zhou Wen were killed by Liang Yuan. Liang Yuanâs fearsome reputation had long spread.
He cried out in terror, "Mr. Liang, you... you said if I admitted it, you would deal with it leniently."
Liang Yuanâs expression was indifferent as he nodded slightly, saying, "I did say that."
"Given the crimes youâve committed, I should have killed you."
"But since I said Iâd deal with it leniently, I wonât go back on my word."
His words instantly brought joy to Sun Xu, Zhang Lanjuan, and Sun Da.
As long as he wasnât killed, everything could be negotiated.
Zhang Lanjuan hurriedly thanked him.
Liang Yuan, however, turned directly, facing the doorway with his back to their family, and shouted, "My fellow residents, Sun Xu committed crimes and originally, according to my intent, I should have killed him."
"But he failed to succeed and has admitted his guilt. I think we can spare him from death, but such a person shouldnât remain in our building."
As soon as Liang Yuan finished speaking, the people outside immediately started shouting.
"Mr. Liang is right, such a scourge cannot remain in our building."
"Yes, drive him out! Drive out this little beast!"
"Who knows if he will commit again in the future? Drive him out of the building!"
...
The people started shouting one after another, and the faces of Sun Xuâs family on the ground immediately changed drastically.
Thereâs floodwater everywhere outside, and itâs pouring rain - where can they go if they leave the building?
The crucial point is, the water is full of mutant fish!
Once they accidentally fall into the water, there will be no remains!
Isnât this the same as directly killing her son?
Zhang Lanjuan suddenly screamed, "No, no way, Mr. Liang, Liang Yuan, you said youâd let my son go, you canât do this. Youâre forcing him to die."
Liang Yuanâs expression was calm, he turned to Zhang Lanjuan and said indifferently, "Sister Zhang, have you thought about what would happen to Lu Dayouâs daughter Lu Yuyan if he hadnât returned in time?"
"What would your son have done to her?"
"Youâre saying Iâm forcing your son to die, but have you thought about how he was forcing that deaf-mute girl at that time?"
Zhang Lanjuan was instantly speechless, she could only cry, kneel, and kowtow repeatedly, pleading, "Liang Yuan, my son really knows he was wrong, he has already admitted it. Why do you insist on forcing him to die?"
"We are willing to compensate. Iâve accumulated quite a lot of things over these days. I can give them all to Lu Dayou and his daughter. I beg you, please spare my son."
She kept kowtowing on the ground, her forehead battered and bleeding.
Liang Yuan sighed, "Sister Zhang, whatâs the point of this?"
"Today, your son committed a crime, and you kowtow to me, and Iâll spare him. Does that mean when others commit a crime in the future, if they kowtow a few times, I have to spare them too?"
"In this world, if committing a crime only requires admitting it to be forgiven, is there still order? Is there still fairness?"
"Donât say Iâm deliberately forcing your son to die, let me ask you, have I not been constantly stressing to you all, including everyone in this building."
"As long as Iâm here, there will absolutely be no rape, robbery, or murder in this building? If any of these are found, they will not be tolerated!"
"Havenât I told you before, giving your husband a chance to be a patrol member, but you must restrain your family!"
"Isnât this building lacking people who can kill fish? Lacking patrol members?"
"Havenât I taken enough care for your family?"
"A person should act with conscience, right, Sister Zhang?"
Liang Yuan lowered his head, staring at Zhang Lanjuan.
Zhang Lanjuan couldnât say a word, she didnât even dare to look at Liang Yuan.
She knew she had no grounds for pleading!
She quickly glanced around at people nearby, catching sight of Cai Zhiâs family, especially Wu Qian behind Cai Zhi, with eyes full of pleading.
Wu Qianâs face changed slightly, quickly turning her head away, avoiding her gaze.
Cai Zhi didnât look happy either, inwardly blaming his wife Wu Qian, for befriending such people.
Zhang Lanjuan quickly looked towards Yang Mei sitting on the sofa not far away.
Yang Mei met her gaze, sighed lightly, and turned her head away, avoiding her eyes.
Helping her son would just harm that poor mute girl.
More importantly, she was her brotherâs woman, everything should revolve around her brother.
Zhang Lanjuan felt desperate, her eyes reddened, filled with resentment, she shouted, "Fine, fine, youâre driving my son away, then we will leave!"
"I will leave with my son!"
At the other side, held down by Zhao Kai, Sun Da also roared, "I will leave too, I quit being a patrol member!"
Liang Yuan raised his eyebrows, then laughed, nodding slightly, saying, "Deep familial love, mother and son bond, alright, if thatâs the case, I wonât stop you. Old Cai, prepare a paddleboard for them."
He looked at Sun Xuâs family, saying, "I will personally send you into the water."
Zhang Lanjuanâs face turned pale, meeting Liang Yuanâs eyes, she felt a chill in her heart.
The disturbance among the crowd escalated, Wu Ying and Wang An grabbed Sun Xu, heading towards the fourteenth floor.
Others followed.
As for Zhang Lanjuan and Sun Da, no one was watching them.
The couple either rushed to follow their son, or hurried back to pack their belongings.
Upon reaching the fourteenth floor, Cai Zhi and Old Ma had already placed the paddleboard on the water outside the corridor.
