(Third update, one more to come)

Fei Lichao and I went back to the basement.

Upon seeing us, Sun Shichao understood the situation outside. His face darkened, as if he had resigned himself to his fate.

I said, "All six of the men you brought are dead. Now I have one more question for you."

Sun Shichao snorted coldly with a bitter face, "I've already told you everything about Zhou Liang, what else do you want to ask?"

I asked, "Who exactly is Zhou Liang?"

This question has been bothering me from the very beginning. From Zhou Liang's appearance to his powerful killing of Yan Zhengfeng, it all seems so unrealistic.

He said we killed his second uncle, but when I was kidnapped by that old Zhou, he looked like an ordinary person, not at all like Zhou Liang, who was so powerful.

I find it hard to believe that Old Zhou is Zhou Liang's second uncle.

But if not, Zhou Liang wouldn't have come to kill us for no reason.

Therefore, I have always been conflicted about Zhou Liang's identity and can't figure it out.

"Who is Zhou Liang?" Sun Shichao laughed. "Lu Xiaonan, are you out of your mind? Does he think Zhou Liang is some kind of superman?!"

I said, "I didn't say he was Superman, but his strength and intelligence clearly show he's no ordinary person!"

Sun Shichao looked up at me and said, "If you want to know who he is, go find him yourself. Why are you asking me? What do you think I could possibly know? Don't forget that Zhou Liang was one of your men back then. Even you yourselves didn't know who he was, so how could I possibly know!"

I was very confused by his answer.

Having arrived in Wutong City, I thought I could find Pu Weichao and then work with him to deal with Zhou Liang, but unexpectedly, both Zhou Liang and Pu Weichao disappeared.

No one knows why these two people disappeared.

Combining Du Xu's words, the young man's words from before, and what Sun Shichao said,

It can be basically concluded that these are all true.

But I wasn't giving up. I wanted to go to the city government and arrest someone to ask them again.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Sun Shichao said, "Hey, Lu Xiaonan, I've told you everything you wanted to know. Now you can keep your promise, right?"

I looked up at him and said, "I can keep my promise, but I have one more question."

Do you have any other questions?

"Did you arrest a few more people back then? I know Yunlan and Shen Dian are dead, but what about two others? Zhou Qingya and Zhong Linyun, where are they now?"

Sun Shichao recalled for a moment and said, "You mean those two? They ran away. The night we arrested them, those two women ran away. Then Zhou Liang was very angry after he found out about this, so he killed the big star Yun Lan and that man. I remember Yun Lan was gang-raped to death."

I clenched my fists, suppressing my anger. "Are you telling the truth?"

Sun Shichao said, "Do you think I would need to lie to you about something so trivial?"

Thinking about it, there's really no reason for him to lie to me. If Zhou Qingya and the little girl were still in their hands, he would probably be using them to blackmail me now.

But he didn't, which is something to think about.

However, he could have easily lied to me about this to save his life, but he didn't. Why?

Sun Shichao said, "Now I've answered all my questions. It's time to do what you promised!"

I stared at him and said, "What is it?"

Sun Shichao's expression changed drastically. "Lu Xiaonan, you can't do this! You promised me you'd let me finish what I needed to do before you killed me! I know you're a man of your word!"

I nodded: "Yes, I'm a man of my word, but what if I don't kill you?"

Sun Shichao looked completely bewildered. "What do you mean?!"

I said, "If I don't kill you, then I don't have to keep any promises, don't you think?"

Sun Shichao panicked, "You fucking tricked me!"

I remained expressionless, not wanting to say anything. Whether it was a joke or not, I couldn't be bothered to think about it. Even if it was, so what?

I glanced at Du Xu, who was still lying motionless on the ground, and said, "Du Xu, you've played dead enough. It's time to get up."

Sun Shichao was stunned and turned to look at Du Xu, who was lying on the ground.

"Ouch!" Du Xu cried out from the ground, then moved his hands and untied the ropes binding him. He stood up from the blood-soaked ground, stretched, and twisted his neck, saying irritably, "Damn it, pretending to be dead is so tiring! I knew I shouldn't have done this."

I said, "This is something you asked for yourself; it's completely unnecessary."

Du Xu smiled, "I still want it. If I hadn't pretended to be dead, how could this pervert have said so much?"

Sun Shichao glared at the two of us and roared angrily, "You two beasts, how dare you lie to me! I'm going to kill you!"

Du Xu wiped the blood off his face. The blood on his body wasn't his own; it belonged to the zombies. Fei Lichao and Sun Zichen had captured a lot of zombies and collected a lot of blood. Although the blood wasn't fresh, Sun Shichao couldn't tell the difference in the dimly lit basement.

I did fire a shot, but he was wearing a bulletproof vest and was mostly unharmed.

Du Xu said, "Sun Shichao, I was forced to do this by you."

Sun Shichao angrily retorted, "What do you mean! When have I ever forced you!"
