Chapter 177 Uncle Kun
Whispers spread through the crowd.
"Heh, Uncle Kun probably wishes Master Jin were dead," a bearded man said in a low voice. "Now he's playing the good guy."
The skinny man beside him nervously glanced around: "Shh... he's in charge of this whole area now."
"Not necessarily. Jin Ye's son, Jin Ran, hasn't returned yet. He's a formidable character. Just wait and see, there's still more trouble to come..."
"What's wrong with that woman Liu Ping? Master Jin is dead, why doesn't she take her daughter and run away? Why is she coming back to be abused?"
"You don't know this, Liu Ping's daughter is sick and needs to be kept alive with special medication. I heard that only Master Jin has that kind of medicine..."
Ye Kun suddenly raised his hands: "Everyone, stop discussing now, listen to me first. I, Ye Kun, am putting this out there..."
The crowd fell silent.
"Master Jin is dead. From now on, this place is under my control, Ye Kun. Before, Master Jin took 80% of the protection money; from now on, I, Ye Kun, will only take 50%!"
"Uncle Kun, are you serious? From now on, you'll only collect 50% of the protection fee?"
Ye Kun patted his chest and said, "I, Ye Kun, am a man of my word. What happened before will happen again, but I will only take 50% of the protection money from everyone."
"Uncle Kun is righteous and benevolent!" someone immediately shouted.
"From now on, we'll follow Uncle Kun!"
Amid cheers, Ye Kunzhi smugly pressed his palms down: "Everyone, disperse."
He turned to Liu Ping, his smile unchanged, but his eyes turned cold: "Liu Ping, stay here for a moment."
As the crowd dispersed, Lu Nange and her companions moved silently along the wall under the cover of shadow.
Ye Kun led Liu Ping and her daughter into the house next door, where two guards were chatting at the door.
Lu Nange's spiritual power enveloped and protected her.
Taking advantage of the moment when the two were distracted, the team crouched down and crept from the blind spot to the window.
In the dim candlelight, Ye Kun sat imposingly in a grand chair: "Liu Ping... this month, thirteen people have died here..."
He gestured with his finger across his neck: "They're all smart people. I don't need to say more about whose work it was, do I?"
Liu Ping hid Tian Tian behind her back.
"Don't be nervous." Ye Kun suddenly laughed. "You know me, at the very least, I'm not interested in women. I just want you to help me deal with Jin Ran. In return, I'll guarantee your safety and that of you and your daughter in this territory."
He pushed out a box of salbutamol aerosol: "This is my sincerity."
Liu Ping didn't reach out to take it, but said expressionlessly, "I'm no match for Jin Ran."
Ye Kun: "You brought Jin Ye back, and that madman Jin Ran will definitely hold you accountable for this... Why don't you join us and take a gamble?"
Liu Ping: "I want both Jin Ye's residence and his body."
"Deal!" Ye Kun slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly. "Meet at the main gate in two hours."
He opened the door and shouted to the guards, "Give Jin Ye's body to your Sister Liu Ping!"
The guards looked at each other in bewilderment.
Ye Kun turned his head and asked feigning concern, "Do you need help moving in?"
"No need." Liu Ping had already grabbed Jin Ye's ankle, and the corpse left a long trail of blood on the rough cement floor.
Ye Kun: "Please..."
After she had walked a distance, the guard couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Kun, what did she want the corpse for?"
Ye Kun: "If it were you... wouldn't you want to chop that person up and feed them to the dogs because your daughter was treated like this?"
......
Lu Nange and the others followed Liu Ping at a safe distance.
Her mental power covered the entire residential area—high-rise buildings, low buildings, warehouses, shacks... even the most hidden corners were completely visible, but she still couldn't find any trace of a laboratory, or any special infected people with crystal cores like Sweetie.
Survivors along the way gave way, pointing and whispering about Liu Ping dragging the corpse, while no one paid attention to Lu Nange and the other "ordinary passersby".
Liu Ping stopped in front of a drab three-story building.
She roughly ripped the pendant off Jin Ye's neck, the chain leaving deep red marks on the corpse.
The door lock clicked open, and the figures of the mother and daughter were quickly swallowed by darkness.
Lu Nange and the others moved close to the shadows of the buildings.
Gangzi carried Zhizhi, sometimes flying high to investigate, and sometimes hovering low to guard.
Lu Nange: "The entire building is empty... Liu Ping is going down into the underground."
Lu Xici: "Shall we just climb over?"
He Zhu grinned: "Don't flip it, don't flip it, watch me..."
The ground suddenly began to shift and, in the blink of an eye, formed a staircase...
"Please~" He bowed exaggeratedly...
Chi Yanzhou: "A conspicuous bag!"
Inside the house, Liu Ping found a powerful flashlight in the living room, pushed aside two heavy solid wood cabinets, revealing a staircase.
Jin's body stumbled and fell down the stairs, step by step.
After going down the stairs, Liu Ping turned right and walked forward until she heard the sound of a generator, at which point she stopped.
The noise from the generator masked the movements of Lu Nange and the others, and they held their breath and stopped at the corner.
Liu Ping grabbed Jin Ye's head with one hand and roughly pried open his eyeballs with the other...
A moment later, the mechanical device in the dark made a "click" unlocking sound, and the alloy door slowly slid open.
"Bang!"
Jin's body was slammed hard against the concrete wall, the impact echoing dully.
Liu Ping grabbed Tian Tian's wrist and pulled her inside.
