Chapter 23: The door lock was pried open

“Hai Huzi, what happened?!” Dongzi rushed over, clutching his loose pants, his face purple—he had been squatting in the latrine, enjoying himself, and had to forcefully cut short his relief to get out.

Immediately, Ban Gen recounted what had happened.

After listening, Dongzi pushed up his glasses, frowned in thought, and after a moment, pondered, “Hai Huzi, do you think that woman, no matter how strong, can protect two women? They are all Mutants; who knows who will win if they truly fight?

Moreover, a bow and arrow have no advantage indoors, and Hai Huzi, you are excellent in close combat, so you have the upper hand in a room. Of course, we should try not to fight if possible. It’s a negotiation, right? She killed one of us, so she should pay with one life for one life.

At the very least, we must seize the Boss Lady. As for the woman’s sister, we’ll first see how much that woman values her. As long as we are firm, there’s still a chance.”

Dongzi’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and two faint flames ignited in his eyes. In the entire community, who didn’t covet the Boss Lady’s body? Although she was ultimately destined to fall into Hai Huzi’s hands, Hai Huzi wouldn’t avoid them when he indulged himself. Even if they couldn't partake, just watching would be enough to be utterly intoxicating.

“But how to negotiate, I still need to think about that.”

Dongzi thought for a moment and felt that the feasibility was quite high. The Boss Lady must have only sought help, which is why she was living with that pair of sisters. There was no news of the Boss Lady having any relatives. When the time came, if they showed a strong attitude and a willingness to fight to the death, the bow-wielding woman would surely panic.

“Damn it, I’m going all out! Even if I have to risk my life, I want all three of those women. Dongzi, you think of a good plan for me. After this is done, this woman is yours.”

He kicked the vacant-eyed woman at his feet. Hai Huzi understood the principle that to make a horse run, you have to feed it. He had long grown tired of this withered flower and giving her away was a good way to motivate Dongzi to fight for him.

With the Boss Lady and the twins, he wouldn't feel too bad. As for the unconscious woman, he still couldn't bear to part with her. Her beauty was only slightly less than the Boss Lady’s, and he hadn’t even sampled her yet.

And hearing Hai Huzi’s words, Dongzi instantly became excited. That numb-eyed woman, no matter what, was still a campus beauty! A flicker of wild joy flashed in Dongzi’s eyes, his mind raced, quickly formulating negotiation strategies in his head…

If Zuo Feng had heard these words, he would have been furious enough to kill. He had just climbed to the 13th floor, carrying a Diamond Girl on his shoulder, followed by a young married woman, and a little girl clutching the woman’s pants. Zuo Feng was almost home…

As soon as he stepped out of the stairwell, Zuo Feng felt that the Diamond Girl had regained her attacking consciousness. He quickly patted her back to soothe her.

The effect was immediate; the girl instantly quieted down.

As his gaze shifted, Zuo Feng witnessed a jaw-dropping scene—Yue Jiaxue was dragging a man’s corpse, as casually as discarding trash, and hurled the body down the stairs from the corridor!

Zuo Feng didn’t know the man, but the glaring crimson blood indicated this was a human life.

Yue Jiaxue, that woman, killed someone! She was destroying evidence! Thinking of the chilling, bone-piercing killing intent in Yue Jiaxue’s eyes when he glimpsed her body, Zuo Feng couldn’t help but shiver, not even daring to greet her.

Yue Jiaxue saw Zuo Feng, merely giving him a cold glance. Her gaze lingered for a moment on the Diamond Girl on Zuo Feng’s shoulder, then she looked at the young married woman and the little girl behind Zuo Feng, before turning gracefully and walking into Zuo Feng’s home.

The young married woman was terrified. Upon arriving, she saw an incredibly beautiful woman disposing of a corpse—a human corpse at that—and the woman’s eyes were so cold.

Zuo Feng suppressed the panic in his heart. What was Yue Jiaxue doing in his house? Was she coming to settle accounts with him?

His scalp tingled, and he braced himself, walking towards his home. Passing room 1303, Zuo Feng stopped—the key for this unit had always been in the door.

“You put your luggage in first. You’ll live in this room from now on. Once your luggage is settled, come to my place.”

Zuo Feng told the young married woman, then took a deep breath. What was coming couldn’t be avoided. He walked towards room 1302.

“Who pried open my door?!”

Zuo Feng felt like he was about to explode with anger. The door lock was completely destroyed; it couldn't be locked! How was he supposed to live here now?! He couldn’t fix locks. Then Zuo Feng thought of the corpse Yue Jiaxue had thrown away. Could that scoundrel have done this?

“Da Bai Tu, I’m back! Are you alright?”

Zuo Feng was anxious, worried about Da Bai Tu’s safety, and called out impatiently before even entering the door.

“Wow! Xiao Nan Ren, you’re back!” Da Bai Tu’s voice was filled with surprise, “Hmm… a bad person wanted to bully me, luckily Little Sister Xue was here!”

Hearing Da Bai Tu’s voice, Zuo Feng’s hanging heart finally settled. It was good that his Da Bai Tu was safe! He carried the Diamond Girl into the room, and the unclosable door could only be gently pulled shut, left ajar.

“Oh, Xiao Nan Ren, what happened to you? Why are you injured?”

Da Bai Tu, who had just stood up to greet Zuo Feng, her surprised eyes instantly filled with distress, anxiously rising from the sofa and bouncing towards Zuo Feng.

Zuo Feng’s current appearance was quite miserable. His right eye was so swollen it was just a slit, there was a small, vertical slap mark on his face, two lines of dried blood remained under his nostrils, and there were marks on his neck from being gripped by a hand.

“It’s nothing, just superficial wounds. We’ll talk about it later.”

Zuo Feng gently embraced the bouncing Da Bai Tu with one arm, comforting her softly.

He carefully lowered the Diamond Girl from his shoulder, seating her on the sofa, and sensing her carefully, confirmed that the Diamond Girl was sitting quietly and still, with no attacking consciousness. Only then did Zuo Feng relax slightly. Ignoring the pair of sisters beside him, he scooped up Da Bai Tu and sat on the sofa. The feeling of warm, soft jade in his arms made him incredibly comfortable.

“Oh, Xiao Nan Ren, what is she?”

Da Bai Tu curiously pointed at the dazzling Diamond Girl, only then noticing this inhuman presence.

She had only been concerned with examining Zuo Feng’s facial injuries earlier, but now she didn’t know how to refer to this brilliant being before her. The only thing she could be sure of was that the Diamond Girl was not human.

Zuo Feng’s peripheral vision swept to the other side of the sofa. The Yue sisters were also staring at the Diamond Girl with curious eyes.

“Hiss—don’t touch her randomly, the doctor will be here soon.”

He grasped Da Bai Tu’s finger, which was poking towards his nose bridge.

“First, tell me what happened with the house door lock? Who pried it open?” A piercing pain came from his nose bridge, and he wondered if it was broken.

“Can I come in now?”

The young married woman’s voice sounded from outside the door. She was quite fast. Zuo Feng guessed that the young married woman had probably come straight over after dropping off her luggage. The little girl hadn’t followed, apparently settled next door.

“Come in, the door isn’t locked.”

Zuo Feng looked at Da Bai Tu’s distressed eyes and couldn’t help but playfully tap Da Bai Tu’s nose. As for the pair of sisters beside them, neither spoke.

Yue Jiayu was curiously staring at the motionless Diamond Girl, while Yue Jiaxue was also staring at the Diamond Girl, but her expression held a hint of wariness, her hand already resting on her compound bow. Clearly, Yue Jiaxue seemed to have sensed, or rather, perceived something. Zuo Feng also no longer paid attention to her as she withdrew her gaze.

Tao Yanyan pushed open the door and entered the room. Her gaze swept across the room, and she instantly froze. Was this a world beauty pageant?

She finally understood why Zuo Feng seemed to have no such intentions towards her at all. The three beautiful women before her were all several times more dazzling than her.

“Excuse me, please help me check my woman’s foot first, to see if any bones are injured.”

Zuo Feng’s words brought Tao Yanyan back to her senses. She nodded quickly, walked towards Da Bai Tu, and knelt down to examine her ankle.

“Sit on the sofa and look.”

Zuo Feng noticed the young married woman’s nervousness and shook his head slightly. This woman seemed overly anxious. Da Bai Tu was sitting sideways on Zuo Feng’s lap, her injured right foot resting on the sofa. The young married woman could perfectly well sit on the sofa to examine her. He and Da Bai Tu were both sitting on the sofa, so having the young married woman squat down to examine felt a bit disrespectful.

“Oh, oh… thank you…”

The young married woman spoke a little quickly, still seeming very nervous. Fortunately, she was obedient and sat on the sofa, lifting Da Bai Tu’s right foot and carefully untying the bandages.

“Xiao Nan Ren, is she a doctor? Or should you look at your injuries first? They look so serious.”

Da Bai Tu was still worried about Zuo Feng’s injuries.

“Be good, let’s deal with your foot first. My injuries are just superficial.”

Zuo Feng gently patted Da Bai Tu’s perky bottom and softly asked, “Tell me what happened at home, who tried to bully you?”

His gaze swept over the sisters.

“Don’t touch her randomly!”

Zuo Feng suddenly stopped Yue Jiayu, who was about to poke the Diamond Girl’s cheek.

“Her little fangs can bite through a sharpening steel, your little finger won’t withstand a bite from her.”

Although the Diamond Girl’s lips were tightly closed, not revealing her sharp teeth, he had to warn them; what if the Diamond Girl unexpectedly opened her mouth and bit? That would be a huge problem.

“Oh! That powerful!”

Yue Jiayu, startled, pulled back her finger, stuck out her tongue, and hid next to her sister, her sparkling big eyes staring pitifully at the Diamond Girl. She still wanted to poke her.

“What exactly is she?”

Yue Jiaxue’s cold voice sounded. She wasn’t looking at Zuo Feng, but Zuo Feng knew Yue Jiaxue was asking him.

“I’ll tell you later. For now, just don’t touch her. She’s a bit dangerous.”

Zuo Feng finished speaking and looked down at Da Bai Tu.

“Alright, tell me. What exactly happened at home?”
