Chapter 151: Brother Long
“Ziyun, it’s so good that you’re okay.”
Their call caught everyone’s attention, and they all looked over.
“Sister Bai, who is Ziyun?” Xie Mingyue asked curiously.
“She’s Linger’s neighbor. They grew up together.”
For girls who were still alive now, there was usually only one outcome. Not all girls were lucky enough to meet Tang Ze.
“Ziyun, are you okay?”
On the other end of the line, Xia Ziyun paused for a moment, then chuckled lightly. “It’s not too bad. It’s good to be alive now. How about you? Why couldn’t I contact you before?”
“I’m fine. There was no signal before. I’ll be back soon. Are you still at home?”
“I… I’m not at home right now. Why are you coming back?”
“I’m coming back to avenge my parents.”
“Ah?” Xia Ziyun was incredulous.
“Is the person who killed my parents still alive?”
Xia Ziyun was stunned for a moment. “He’s dead.”
“What!” Li Linger couldn’t accept it. She hadn’t even gotten her revenge personally.
“Something’s come up on my end… I have to go…”
It seemed something else had happened. Xia Ziyun hurriedly hung up.
Li Linger stood there, holding her phone, stunned. She had come back too late…
….
In the not-so-distant Pinggao City, frozen corpses could be seen everywhere on the streets. The entire city had a strong smell of blood. Occasionally, people driven mad could be seen running out of houses, only to collapse motionless in the snow after a few steps.
But surprisingly, the city’s essential systems were all functioning normally.
Shengshi Gardens. This complex was the most expensive in Pinggao City, with a price of 6990 yuan per square meter.
However, there was no sign of fighting in this complex. In fact, it was unprecedentedly peaceful. Occasionally, people could be seen walking around, and men were sitting in the lobby playing cards.
In Building 1 lived all the young girls. This was, of course, a carefully arranged setup. Each girl had her own bedroom, and the living conditions were quite good for the current times.
“Hey, Brother Long is looking for you.”
Xia Ziyun put away her phone and looked at the man who had opened the door and come in. She quickly tidied her messy hair.
“Brother Dong, really?” Xia Ziyun became excited and even started to hastily straighten her clothes.
The man called Brother Dong was named Lin Caidong, a slightly chubby middle-aged man in his thirties. He usually handled Brother Long’s daily affairs, so the girls all fawned over him. As long as they were arranged to accompany Brother Long, they would have good food. If Brother Long took a liking to them, they would be a cut above the rest.
This was because Brother Long was a strong man who didn’t die even after being drenched in the rain. He could punch a crack in a wall with one fist and even tear off a car door with his bare hands. It was said that in the first month, Brother Long had taken a watermelon knife and hacked his way from Beilin Road to Shuangchu Road. He was terrifyingly powerful.
Now, the men all followed Brother Long, and the women had his protection, with food to eat, clothes to wear, and drinks to drink.
“Hurry up and get ready. This is an opportunity I fought hard for you.” Lin Caidong glanced at her a few times. Although this Xia Ziyun wasn’t the best-looking in the building, her mouth was quite clever, and she spoke pleasantly.
Watching Xia Ziyun change her clothes, the corner of Lin Caidong’s mouth curled up. “Who were you talking to on the phone just now?”
Xia Ziyun, who was putting on her pants, paused. “A girlfriend.”
“Girlfriend? I haven’t heard you mention her before.”
“We lost contact before. I thought she was dead.”
Lin Caidong didn’t press further. No matter what the conspiracy was, it was all a paper tiger to Brother Long.
Soon, Xia Ziyun had changed into a tight-fitting short skirt. She had some looks, otherwise she wouldn’t have been arranged to be here.
But compared to Linger, she was like the bright moon in the sky versus the dust on the ground.
Lin Caidong took the opportunity to grope her. Xia Ziyun feigned shyness, which made Lin Caidong chuckle.
Walking out of the bedroom, the two girls in the living room cast envious glances at her, as if being able to accompany Brother Long was a great honor.
And here, it truly was.
Taking the elevator to the top floor, it was a duplex apartment. The previous owner had been a boss.
But that boss had already been chopped into several pieces by Brother Long.
“Go in.”
“Brother Dong, thank you,” Xia Ziyun said gratefully. Lin Caidong gave her a knowing look.
Walking into the room, Xia Ziyun smelled a thick cloud of smoke, and she couldn’t help but frown.
On the sofa, three men were sitting and discussing something. The one in the middle was Brother Long, whose name was Long Yi.
He looked to be in his thirties, with a strong build, a gold chain, and a floral-patterned arm tattoo, giving him a fierce and malevolent look.
Xia Ziyun also knew the two men beside him. They were Brother Long’s right and left-hand men. One was the strategist, and the other, like Brother Long, was someone who wouldn’t die from the rain or snow.
“Brother Long, this morning, Xingfu Complex sent a message, willing to submit to you, Brother Long.” The strategist’s face was fawning, his peripheral vision glancing at Xia Ziyun.
Long Yi twirled a string of emerald beads in his hand. “If they don’t submit to me, then they can prepare to be cut off from power and freeze to death. Make sure those maintenance personnel are well taken care of. Change the batch of women for them from time to time.”
“I know, Brother Long. It’s all arranged.”
The young man sitting on the other side had been staring at Xia Ziyun, a sinister smile on his lips. This made Xia Ziyun’s heart pound. She had heard from the other girls that the second-in-command, Wan Quan, had violent tendencies. The girls who accompanied him were all beaten badly. It was said that a girl had gone to accompany him two days ago and was never heard from again. The girls in the group all guessed that she had been beaten to death.
“Wan Quan, any movement from the madman in the south of the city recently?”
“Ever since the battle at Wo’aima last time, Madman Liu has been much quieter. He hasn’t dared to compete with you for things recently, Brother Long. It’s a good time for us to expand.”
Wan Quan opened his arms and leaned back on the sofa, looking at Xia Ziyun. His lips curled up, revealing yellowed teeth. “It’s good that they’re dead. Fewer mouths to feed. Although our city is small, it still has a population of several million. They won’t all die out.”
Brother Long smiled and nodded. “Alright. Since the men from Xingfu Complex want to submit to me, then let me see the strength of their men. Arrange for them to go and take down the Fuquan Department Store.”
“Alright, I’ll go arrange it now.” The strategist stood up, glanced at Xia Ziyun, and walked out from the side.
Brother Long looked at Wan Quan and smiled. “Alright, your eyeballs are about to pop out. I was originally going to have a little fun myself, but I’ll let you have her.”
Hearing this, Xia Ziyun was filled with terror. Weren’t you supposed to accompany Brother Long?
“Brother Long, you know me best. You, come here.”
Xia Ziyun’s feet felt heavy, but seeing Wan Quan’s face, she didn’t dare to not move.
