Jiang Wan left the twins in Cheng Zhen's care and went to the 18th floor.
Two people died upstairs in one day; it was really bad luck, and she didn't want her two children to set foot there.
Cheng Zhen was still worried, so he entrusted the two children to a trusted subordinate and went upstairs with him.
Miao Fengxian was right when she said that death is like a lamp going out. No matter how much she hated him, he was already dead, so she could only let go. Besides, even if Jiang Cheng died, he might not be at peace. There was someone he didn't want to see waiting to deal with him in the underworld.
The body of the old lady on the 18th floor was gone. She didn't ask any questions, and just stood expressionless in front of Jiang Cheng.
It looks like he was strangled by the mutated plant.
"Why did you and your daughter escape when the mutated plants attacked, without taking him with you?"
Jiang Wan's icy gaze swept over Jiang Yushan and Miao Fengxian, finally landing on Jiang Cheng lying on the ground. "You fled for your lives alone, abandoning him."
Jiang Cheng dedicated his entire life to the mother and daughter, only to end up like this. It's truly tragic!
Although she was speculating, she stated it in a declarative tone.
Early in the morning, she saw the mother and daughter rushing to leave, but were stopped by Mi Mang.
Her words enraged the mother and daughter. Miao Fengxian wanted nothing more than to spit blood in her face, and she poked her face with her fingers.
"You're talking nonsense! Which eye of yours saw us abandon him and run away? You have the nerve to accuse us of this? It's you, Jiang Wan, who doesn't care about your father's life or death at all!"
"It's you! You killed Dad, you bitch! You unlucky bastard! You brought all your bad luck on us and killed Dad!" Jiang Yushan joined in the cursing, the mother and daughter flanking her, looking as if they wanted to tear her apart.
Jiang Wan was so angry she almost laughed. She took a step back and slapped both the mother and daughter with her left and right hands.
"I didn't bother dealing with you before because of Jiang Cheng's sake. You were lucky to live so long. But you'd better understand that now that Jiang Cheng is dead, if you keep spewing filth, don't blame me for killing you!"
The moment she uttered the word "kill," her entire body radiated murderous intent.
The mother and daughter shivered from the cold despite the sweltering heat; she was terrifying.
"This is the 18th floor of Building 1, Yincheng Yazuo. An old lady used to live here, but where is she now?"
Jiang Wan met their angry and humiliated gazes with a cold question, and the two women, feeling guilty and timid, instantly lost their momentum.
"Heh, wouldn't you say that evil has its retribution?" Jiang Wan sneered and turned to leave.
Caught off guard by her words, Miao Fengxian felt a chill run down her spine and goosebumps rose on her skin. But she wasn't about to let it go and immediately retorted, "He's your father, you have to collect his corpse!"
"Isn't she Jiang Cheng's daughter?" Jiang Wan pointed at Jiang Yushan.
Miao Fengxian hugged Jiang Yushan, looking both unreasonable and self-righteous: "Our Yushan is still young and has no money."
Of course he's broke. It's the apocalypse, and he still refuses to leave the city to mine crystals. He leaves his work to his father and hangs out with lazy bums all day. It would be a miracle if he had any money.
Jiang Wan sneered and went straight downstairs: "You want money for a grand funeral? This is the apocalypse, do you still want to throw a seven-day, seven-night banquet?"
"Heh, just a reminder, the funeral home is free now. You guys can go through the trouble of taking him there. It'll be a way of showing respect for how much he loved you while he was alive."
Miao Fengxian and Jiang Yushan were truly dumbfounded this time. They never expected Jiang Wan to be so cold-blooded and ruthless, leaving so decisively and without any intention of negotiating with them.
Of course they wanted to chase after her, but she was followed by a city guard, a tall, burly, and fierce-looking man. They dared not get any closer.
Looking at the corpse lying stiffly at the entrance of the oxygen storage room, Miao Fengxian felt both unlucky and sad. She called Jiang Wan over, not only to ask her to give money for his burial, but also to get her to get rid of the body as soon as possible!
It's been blocking the way for ages, how is she supposed to close the door?!
Turning around, she saw Jiang Yushan staring blankly in the direction of the stairwell, looking lovesick. She couldn't help but slap her arm in annoyance: "What are you standing there for? Find a way to get your dad away!"
"You do it yourself, he's dead. Do you expect me to move a dead body? Isn't that bad luck?"
Jiang Yushan refused a thousand times, her mind still replaying the image of the man she had just seen. He was even better looking than the other city guards she had seen before! She had noticed him downstairs; the way he wielded his lightsaber to kill the mutated plants was incredibly cool!
The light was dim then, and there was still smoke from the fires burning all around. She could only see him vaguely from a distance, but as soon as she got closer, her heart was instantly captivated and flew away with him!
"Mom, how come Jiang Wan is so lucky? She even has a city guard by her side!" She felt very unbalanced. "Do you think that rumor is true? Does she really have a city guard lover?"
What has Jiang Wan done to deserve this?! All these wonderful men are fawning over her?!
Miao Fengxian was preoccupied with her lawsuit and had no time to discuss men with her, so she casually replied:
"Come on, you and Mom get him out of here first. Once we've settled down, with your looks and qualifications, you can choose any kind of man you want."
Jiang Yushan was reluctant, but seeing that her mother really couldn't move the corpse of an adult man by herself, and that they couldn't even close the door if the body wasn't moved, she had no choice but to grit her teeth, suppress her disgust, and extend her precious helping hand for the sake of the beautiful life right in front of her.
"What are you doing?!" Suddenly, the elevator doors behind us opened, and a strange man shouted!
"Who are you? What have you done to my mother?! Mom? Answer me!"
Ge Youcai rushed over, pushed them aside, and squeezed into the room. When he realized that the person lying on the ground was not his old lady, he immediately kicked the body out of the room.
He held the door ajar, staring intently at them, and demanded, "Are you trying to take my mother's house? Where is my mother?"
Miao Fengxian never expected that this old lady on the 18th floor wasn't a widow! She had a son!
After all, she had really killed someone and was genuinely planning to seize the house, so Miao Fengxian couldn't help but feel guilty.
Jiang Yushan was young and had a strong sense of pride. She didn't think she had done anything wrong. After all, what's wrong with fighting for a house in the apocalypse? Everyone was fighting for one, so why couldn't she?
But when she met Ge Youcai's fierce gaze, which seemed to want to devour her, she became cowardly, even more so than Miao Fengxian. She immediately hid behind him, unwilling to show herself.
The elevator rang again, and a woman and a boy who looked to be about ten years old stepped out. Upon seeing the scene before them, they immediately rushed over, grabbed Jiang Yushan's curly hair, and slapped her twice across the face.
"Where did this lowly hussy come from, daring to steal my family's belongings and house?! Tell me! What did she do to my mother-in-law?!"
