Chapter 158
"Wanwan, what's going on?" Qi Mingyu had heard the noise and looked up from the window.
His house is right below Zhou's and is also equipped with anti-theft nets.
But Qi Mingyu has received professional training.
He only took one look and knew what was happening.
When Zhou Shuwan arrived, he had already tied a rope around his waist and released the inflatable boat out of the corridor.
Zhou Shuwan also got on board: "I'll help you."
They drove the boat to the living room side of the building, and Qi Mingyu used the external air conditioner and anti-theft net to nimbly climb to the sixth floor.
After a long time, Zhou Jianghai couldn't hold the woman even through the protective net, so Zhong Tiyun came to help.
Dong Qingqing gradually regained her composure, holding onto the security net with both hands and using the gaps in the wall for support.
In fact, the water level is so high now that she wouldn't even get hurt if she fell directly into the water.
But the water is too poisonous and people cannot go into the water without sufficient equipment.
In his previous life, Zhou Shuwan dared to jump down from the 19th floor. He also struggled to find the entrance to the corridor with an open window, entered the building, and then stole a homemade boat tied to the entrance to escape.
When Zhou Shuwan helped Dong Qingqing out of Qi Mingyu's arms, he suddenly understood why he tried his best to help.
Because, this Dong Qingqing, who was hanging on the protective net and desperately asking for help, was no longer similar to her back then.
"Wanwan, move forward a little, don't let the boat capsize." Qi Mingyu also followed down, and seeing Zhou Shuwan standing there in a daze, he reminded her.
Zhou Shuwan came back to his senses, nodded, sat forward without saying a word, and took the oars to row the boat.
The biggest disadvantage of inflatable boats is that the hull is too light and it is easy to capsize when the weight is unbalanced.
Dong Qingqing sat on the boat in shock, and couldn't help looking up at the place where she had crawled, as if she still couldn't believe that she was saved.
When the boat reached the entrance of the corridor and was about to go up, Dong Qingqing suddenly said, "Thank you for saving me!"
She looked up, her eyes still filled with fear, and stammered, "I, I know you are good people, so I came to you for help!"
When she was locked up by her family yesterday, she knew that the neighbors had come to her parents' house and asked them to be kind to her!
Although she used to be a pampered and domineering young lady, she was not a fool. By observing how they behaved, she knew that the Zhou family on the sixth floor and the Qi family on the fifth floor were not bad people!
So, when she finally found a chance to break the window and escape tonight, she did not choose to go to the more convenient Wei family, but instead stepped on the outdoor air conditioner with difficulty and came to the window of the Zhou family.
Zhou Shuwan pointed at Qi Mingyu and said, "You should thank him. He saved you! If it were me, I really wouldn't be able to save you. I would just let you fall into the water!"
The Dong family was the enemy who killed her mother and brother, and she was not willing to accept this thank you from their daughter.
Dong Qingqing looked at her and said, "I thank him, but I also thank you."
Zhou Shuwan was getting impatient: "Go upstairs quickly."
Dong Qingqing shook her head: "I can't go back! Please, send me anywhere, I can't go back, I really can't go back..."
Tears rolled down her face, which was trying to remain calm. She bit her lip, as if trying hard to control herself from crying out loud.
But her tone was so desperate and pleading.
Qi Mingyu frowned slightly and looked at the other person's face and hands.
The exposed skin was covered with bruises, probably from the beating yesterday.
He was a soldier, and although he hated Tung Chee-hwa, there was no need for him to make things difficult for an unarmed girl.
He then asked, "Are you often abused at home? How about we take you to the police station?"
The police station still exists after the apocalypse, but it is also located in the office building.
Dong Qingqing suddenly burst into tears. She cried twice, then forced herself to hold it back, choking and saying, "Actually, my dad wants me to go accompany someone..."
Zhou Shuwan had already guessed it and looked expressionless.
Qi Mingyu's brows furrowed, and he obviously understood the meaning behind this sentence: "Who?"
"I'm not too sure. I heard from my dad that it was a gang leader. He wanted him to help with something, but he didn't know what gift to give. After much deliberation, he decided to give me to him..."
Dong Qingqing covered her face, stifling her tears. "He said he was just going to stay with me for a few days, and that he would take me back after a few days... I didn't want to, thinking I was no different from those prostitutes before, so I resisted... Then he beat me and locked me up again... My mom and brother didn't care about me at all, and they helped him watch over me..."
Gang boss?
It was the news I heard that day.
From the conversation between Wu Jiabin and several accomplices, Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu heard that Tung Chee-hwa wanted to unite his own people to ambush the two of them and then occupy the community.
However, without hot weapons, even with bows and arrows, they would have no chance of winning against the two powerful men.
Tung Chee-hwa then tried every possible means to obtain some firearms.
He was also considered a "very smart" person. After thinking about it, he actually felt that he might be able to exchange some money from Qi Mingyu.
So he asked Director Wu, who was unaware of the situation, to come forward and test Qi Mingyu.
He also thought about taking the second path if he failed.
That is to find the famous gangster boss in J City, return the favor, get firearms from him, and then talk about the affairs of the Zhou and Qi families.
At that time, Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu decided to find out which gangster boss Tung Chee-hwa was looking for and catch him all in one fell swoop.
These past few nights, Qi Mingyu would take Zhou Shuwan to keep an eye on Tung Chee-hwa, but they didn't notice any movement from him.
But unexpectedly, before he took action, Tung Chee-hwa had already thought of giving his daughter as a gift to the gangster boss!
"How did you escape?" Zhou Shuwan asked calmly.
Dong Qingqing said, "My dad loves to drink. Today he got drunk and was resting in his bedroom. My mom and my brother always take advantage of his drunkenness to steal his supplies. His supplies aren't just hidden at home, they're also hidden elsewhere. So the two of them rowed out... Nanny Aunt Song felt sorry for me, but she didn't dare to help me, so she hid in her room and pretended to be asleep..."
Dong Qingqing knelt down on the boat and looked at the two of them. "Please, give me a way out. Please, I kowtow to you..."
Zhou Shuwan stopped her, his attitude looking rather cold: "The one who can save you is never someone else, but yourself!"
Dong Qingqing was stunned.
Zhou Shuwan continued expressionlessly, "The only one who can save you is yourself! You asked us to send you somewhere random, but do you know what the situation is like out there? Even though the apocalypse has only been going on for a few months, order is already in chaos. Where can you, an unarmed young woman, hide?"
"I, I can go to a resettlement site. Aren't there a lot of them? We went to a resettlement site when we were hiding from the tsunami. Although there were a lot of people, the food was bad, and it was inconvenient, it was still safe."
Dong Qingqing said hurriedly.
It seems that she was also thinking about the way forward in her mind.
