For Wang Xiuli, her relationship with Zhao Qian lasted only two years, and their feelings for each other were not very deep. He was just a man she used to pass the time when she was lonely.
Wang Xiuli divorced early, and custody of her child was awarded to her ex-husband. She is a ruthless woman who completely severed ties with her child after the divorce and focused on building her career.
After working hard for more than 20 years, she had amassed assets worth tens of millions. Unfortunately, business is always full of ups and downs. After the age of 45, her career suffered a major setback, and feeling emotionally empty, she suddenly longed to find a "soulmate".
After getting entangled with Zhao Qian at the gym, the two moved in together. Zhao Qian was physically fit and had a sweet tongue, and he made a lot of money off Wang Xiuli.
Unfortunately, he lacked business acumen. The fitness club he invested heavily in soon went bankrupt due to poor management, causing Wang Xiuli to suffer from a cash flow crisis. Helpless, she moved into an unfinished building she had invested in years ago.
Wang Xiuli knew Zhao Qian was not someone to be trifled with, and she usually turned a blind eye to things, but when she saw him being carried in seriously injured, she became afraid.
No matter how disgraceful Zhao Qian is, he is still a man, and in this world, he is somewhat useful. For example, when he went to the neighbor's house to steal supplies, Wang Xiuli tacitly approved of it. But when something really happens, women are ultimately no match for men.
I just didn't expect him to be so badly injured...
He had an ice pick stuck in his chest, blood was everywhere, and when he was carried in, he was pale, his lips were purple, and he was still unconscious...
Wang Xiuli was very surprised. This time, he not only did not gain any benefits from his trip, but he also got himself into trouble.
Wang Xiuli didn't dare move him to the bedroom. The water was frozen, and if he dirtied the bed, there was no way to wash it. She could only move Zhao Qian to the bed in the study.
When Wang Xiuli woke up in the morning, she found that Zhao Qian had a high fever. She felt a little sorry for him, after all, he had been with her for two years. She shamelessly asked the neighbors for medicine, but was met with a cold shoulder.
She wouldn't stoop so low; there was nothing she could do if she couldn't get the medicine.
Now that she's run out of medicine and even meat, Wang Xiuli is starving. She vented her anger in the group chat and then went back to her bedroom to sleep.
William hadn't eaten meat for two days and was so hungry that he went to the bedroom several times to huff and puff, which annoyed Wang Xiuli to no end.
"People are almost out of food, how can we care about dogs!"
It was so cold inside, and there wasn't much food left. She needed to sleep to conserve her energy, so she simply closed the door and fell fast asleep...
She slept soundly and didn't hear William scratching at the door again. When she opened her eyes, it was already afternoon. She hadn't eaten breakfast or lunch and was woken up by hunger.
She got dressed and walked out of the bedroom, only to find the house eerily quiet. Usually at this time, William would be clamoring for food as soon as she appeared.
But now, she grabbed a handful of dog food and put it in the food box, and still there was no sign of William.
"William, I wonder where he's off to play." Wang Xiuli rummaged through the freezer, trying to figure out what to eat...
But then they heard a very faint "humming...humming..." sound coming from the study to the right of the kitchen.
Wang Xiuli's mind went blank, her pupils constricted, and the hairs on her body stood on end.
She moved with stiff steps, inching her way toward the study...
As she reached the study door, a strong smell of blood filled her senses, her heart pounded, and she took two more steps inside.
The "huffing and puffing..." sounds grew louder and louder...
William, who is more than half a meter tall, is facing away from me, with his two front legs on the bed and his hind legs on the ground, his tail wagging happily.
Wang Xiuli couldn't see William's head. A voice kept shouting in her head, "Impossible, impossible, William wouldn't do that."
She raised William for six years. William was a good dog, more loyal than a man!
She didn't believe it and insisted on going forward to see...
That one glance terrified her so much that she collapsed to the ground, vomited with a "whoosh," and then screamed in agony...
"Ah...ah..."
The scream echoed through the neighborhood, sending chills down everyone's spines.
William was also startled. He jumped off the bed and used his blood-stained mouth to lick and "comfort" his mistress.
Wang Xiuli's eyes widened, and her body trembled like a sieve...
She saw that Zhao Qian, lying on the bed, had a huge, bloody hole in his chest...
It's...empty... inside...
William licked her palm affectionately, his tail wagging wildly. Wang Xiuli was paralyzed with fear and could not move.
Wang Xiuli looked at the spot on her palm where the dog had just licked her; the saliva was still mixed with red blood.
She fainted immediately...
The shrill scream just now not only startled Wang Feifei, but also made the two "Ice Society" apostles who were urinating in the corner outside the community stop urinating in fright!
"Holy crap! There's someone in here?"
They looked at the abandoned building complex with its strong "wasteland" vibe and exchanged bewildered glances.
"Should we report this to Captain Qian?" the short man asked.
The tall apostle put on his pants, stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance: "This unfinished building complex, there probably aren't any rich people living here, right? Why don't we go check it out first?"
Since the last raid on Chen Nian's supermarket, Captain Qian has not found a new target. He was recruited by Shen Qingshan and was eager to make some contributions.
He thought to himself, "The city has been turned upside down, there's hardly any profit left. Why not try my luck in the suburbs? Maybe I'll find a 'big fish'?"
So they sent eight "unlucky guys" to search and record in the four directions of the city: east, south, north, and west.
These two were in charge of the south of the city. Whether it was good luck for them or bad luck for Wang Feifei, this unfinished building attracted the attention of the "Cold Ice Society".
Two low-ranking apostles sledded along the outer wall and finally decided to enter through the west gate.
Zhao Qian replaced the lock on the east gate twice, each time with a more secure lock, while the west gate still had the same rusty little lock, which could be kicked open with just two kicks.
The ear-piercing metallic clanging sound made the residents of the western district nervous. In this terrible cold and freezing weather, who could possibly be capable of coming into the community?
Could it be relief supplies being distributed from above?
Several households peered out of their windows and saw two people dressed in polar suits, looking around and leisurely gliding on sleds.
I have nothing in my hands!
The two apostles also saw them; the shorter man nudged the arm of the person next to him.
"Brother, look, there really are some people living here!"
"Let's walk a little further ahead and see; those are the larger apartments."
They skated one after the other, and soon arrived at Wang Xiuli's building.
Wang Xiuli lived on a low floor. She collapsed on the ground unconscious. The dog sensed someone downstairs and immediately ran to the balcony.
Upon seeing two strangers dressed in strange clothes, the dog became frightened and barked incessantly!
The sound immediately pinpointed Wang Xiuli's house to the two apostles: "Oh dear, people are starving, and this family still keeps a dog. Let's go up and take a look!"
The sudden, loud barking woke Wang Xiuli. She looked at Zhao Qian on the bed, and before she could calm herself, she heard a loud knocking on the door…
