Chapter 52 Net Worth Exposed

Zhou Ke'er held out her hand toward Wang Min.

Naturally, she was not going to help for free.

Knowing the rules, Wang Min took out a pack of biscuits and handed them over.

Although it wasn't much, if rationed carefully, it would be enough for her to last two days. Zhou Ke'er was somewhat satisfied and then left.

After Zhou Ke'er departed, the atmosphere in the room became heavy to the extreme.

The excruciating pain from their wounds continued to wash over them, forcing the three men to lie on the sofa, wrapping themselves tightly in quilts, unwilling to move.

Zhou Peng stared at Fang Yuqing on the floor, his eyes filled with sorrow.

As for the others, their gazes toward her were full of malice.

Sun Zhichao took a deep breath. "We can't just sit here and wait to die. We must get medicine from Jiang Yi! Otherwise, once the wounds get infected, we'll all die a horrible death!"

He looked at Wang Min and Lin Caining, saying in a deep voice, "You both should understand that without men to protect you, it's hard to survive in this apocalyptic world."

The complexions of Wang Min and Lin Caining were not looking good.

They knew what Sun Zhichao said was true; otherwise, Wang Min wouldn't have chosen to team up with them in the first place.

"But... we simply can't do anything about Jiang Yi."

Wang Min took a deep breath, her face full of helplessness.

Even their frontal assault had failed, resulting in casualties and lost fighters. What good options could they possibly have left?

Sun Zhichao gritted his teeth, the physical agony driving him to desperation.

"I do have a plan we can try!"

Everyone's eyes lit up as they turned to look at Sun Zhichao.

"What plan?"

"As long as there's hope, we have to try it!"

"Right, dragging this out is just waiting for death anyway. We might as well take a gamble!"

Sun Zhichao said, "Jiang Yi has a fireplace in his home, which means he has hoarded a massive amount of fuel. Also, judging from his videos, his food supplies are extremely abundant."

"Right now, only a few of us know about this. But relying solely on ourselves, we clearly can't breach Jiang Yi's home."

"Why don't we leak this information and let everyone in the entire apartment building know?"

Sun Zhichao's eyes gleamed with the venom of a cobra.

"If the few of us couldn't handle him, surely a few hundred people can?"

"Not to mention there's that mad dog Chen Zhenghao—he actually has a gun! That bunch is capable of any atrocity and wouldn't hesitate to kill. They will definitely go deal with Jiang Yi!"

"By then, getting some medicine and food for ourselves shouldn't be too difficult."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ge Jialiang said excitedly, "That's a great idea, I agree!"

Without much hesitation, the others nodded in agreement.

After all, they had no better choices left at the moment.

Suddenly, Fang Yuqing cursed bitterly at the group, "You people are so shameless! How could you do this?"

"I'm supposed to live with Jiang Yi in the future! If you ruin him, what's going to happen to me?"

With a cold face, Wang Min walked over and slapped her hard across the face. By this point, Fang Yuqing's face was swollen like a pig's head.

Dragging her by the hair, Wang Min hauled Fang Yuqing into the bedroom amidst her piercing screams.

Then, Wang Min shouted to Zhou Peng, "Zhou Peng, get in here and take care of her!"

Zhou Peng's injury was on his arm, which wasn't actually too severe.

After all, Jiang Yi hadn't aimed for vital points initially; he wanted these people to suffer infection, fester, and die.

Therefore, with the arrow removed, Zhou Peng was still capable of physical exertion.

Hearing Wang Min's words, Zhou Peng froze for a moment, then hesitated. "Cousin, is this really a good idea? I genuinely like her. How can I hurt her?"

Fang Yuqing was also shivering on the bed, begging for mercy.

"No, you can't do this to me! Zhou Peng, didn't you say you loved me the most?"

Spitting on the floor, Wang Min said disdainfully, "Little vixen, you've brought us to this miserable state, and letting you sleep with my cousin is already letting you off easy!"

She turned to Zhou Peng. "Stupid boy, stop being so deluded! A cheap woman like this has no idea how many men she has slept with."

"To put it bluntly, don't you just want to sleep with her? I'm giving you a chance to fulfill your wish today. Let's see how she fools you from now on!"

Being women themselves, Wang Min knew very well how to deal with Fang Yuqing.

Once Zhou Peng slept with her, his sense of novelty toward her would inevitably fade.

With a roar, Zhou Peng rushed into the bedroom, only to shove Wang Min away forcefully.

"Don't you dare talk about her like that! Yuqing and I share true love, and I will never force her!"

Zhou Peng stiffened his neck and declared.

With wide eyes, Wang Min pointed at Zhou Peng, rendered speechless by anger for a long time.

"You useless simp!"

She had underestimated the loyalty of a simp after all.

Zhou Peng retorted, "No, I'm not a simp! Yuqing is a woman who genuinely treats me well. I believe that as long as I give it time to touch her heart, she will fall in love with me someday!"

With that, Zhou Peng turned back and flashed Fang Yuqing a smile he thought was handsome.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

He still remembered when he first arrived in this city—young and unfamiliar with the place.

Having only a junior high school education, he had been looked down upon by many around him.

Back then, only Fang Yuqing had given him a kind smile and even politely asked Zhou Peng to help her move things.

When he felt lonely and isolated, Fang Yuqing had given him the opportunity to treat her to a meal.

That feeling of being trusted had remained a warm ember in Zhou Peng's heart ever since.

He would rather hurt himself than ever harm Fang Yuqing.

Even after hearing what Fang Yuqing had just said, he believed it was Jiang Yi's fault and that Fang Yuqing had simply been deceived by him.

That's right, as long as he waited patiently, Fang Yuqing would eventually realize that he was the man who treated her best!

Seeing Zhou Peng's foolish, smiling face, Fang Yuqing felt a surge of relief inwardly.

Although sleeping with him wasn't the end of the world, deep down Fang Yuqing had always looked down on this loser and found him utterly repulsive.

The others in the room, however, were left speechless by Zhou Peng's pathetic devotion.

Yet, everyone's minds were now focused on uniting the entire apartment building to deal with Jiang Yi.

Therefore, they no longer cared what Zhou Peng did.

...

Wang Min and the others decided to leak the news of Jiang Yi's abundant supplies to everyone.

By leveraging the collective strength of the residents, they would breach Jiang Yi's home.

Only then could they seize the medicine and save the lives of Sun Zhichao and the others.

Thus, Wang Min posted Jiang Yi's previous videos and photos into the main residential group chat.

The reason she posted in this chat was obviously to ensure that Chen Zhenghao would see it as well.

Wang Min: "Dear neighbors, it is only now that I've learned someone among us has been living such a blissful life. Such selfish behavior is utterly shameless!"

"The videos were taken at Jiang Yi's place over the past few days. Think about the kind of days we've been living through lately, and the kind of days he's having? Is this fair to any of you?"

"Let's discuss together how we should handle this matter."

Usually, almost no one spoke in this group chat anymore.

Only Chen Zhenghao would occasionally use it to terrorize the neighbors.

Therefore, Wang Min posting so many videos and pictures immediately caught everyone's attention.

Consequently, the neighbors clicked on the videos and began watching.

When they saw the comfortable lifestyle depicted in the footage, everyone was so excited they nearly went crazy!

"He's actually wearing pajamas indoors? It's over minus seventy degrees outside, how on earth are they heating their home?"

"Their lights are turned on at night too! Where is he getting electricity?"

"Are these really videos taken recently? Weren't they from the past?"

Some people raised doubts.

Understandably, everyone was currently enduring hunger and freezing temperatures, making it impossible to fathom that someone could eat steaming hot gourmet meals and live in a warm, cozy house.
