Moreover, the other party was sincere. What they thought in their hearts was the same as what they said, without any discrepancy.
"Sure, you're welcome to come anytime," Yun Xiaoxiao said happily, as business had come to her doorstep.
Since Zheng Xin'er still had many things to attend to, Yun Xiaoxiao and her companions didn't want to disturb her, so they left.
"Where should we go now?" Xiao Feng asked.
The matter was resolved faster than they had imagined, feeling as if they hadn't been of much use before it was over.
Yun Xiaoxiao furrowed her brow, "Let's find that man from earlier and deal with him."
"Wait, since the issue is resolved, can I change back into men's clothes?" Nie Yizhou glanced at his wig with exasperation.
He felt that dressing up as a woman was completely unnecessary!
"But you look quite good like this," Xiao Feng said, scanning him from head to toe.
Nie Yizhou rolled his eyes, "If it looks so good, why don't you do it?"
"Well, aren't you more suitable for it?"
Nie Yizhou: !!!
You're the suitable one, your whole family is suitable!
As they bickered, they made their way back to the previous marketplace.
When they arrived at the man's tent, they found no one there.
"Are you looking for the man who was selling his wife earlier?" An elderly antique dealer from across the way craned his neck forward.
"Yes, grandpa, do you know where he went?" Yun Xiaoxiao asked with a smile.
The old man had naturally recognized them.
He hurriedly said, "As soon as you left, he immediately took off."
"Do you know where he went?"
"I'm afraid I don't."
"Do you think he might have gone to find his wife?" Ling Jing suddenly spoke up.
His words made everyone turn to look at him.
It wasn't impossible!
"Grandpa, do you know where he lives?" Yun Xiaoxiao asked.
The woman would likely go home first to gather her belongings.
Before the old man could speak, someone from the neighboring stall chimed in.
"It should be near a school building. They live on the floor below us, probably on the second floor."
"How do we get there?"
"Exit the market, turn right, and follow the road for about a kilometer. Then turn left and walk about 500 meters, and you'll be there."
After thanking them, Yun Xiaoxiao and her group got in their car and quickly headed in that direction.
They feared nothing except the possibility of the man going berserk in desperation.
They soon arrived at the school building.
The building was already overcrowded.
Even from the first floor, it was evident that the entire structure had been modified.
It had been converted into small living spaces.
People were walking back and forth, creating a somewhat chaotic atmosphere.
But still, it had a roof to shelter from rain and sun, which was much better than Rongsheng Base.
They walked up the stairway to the second floor.
As soon as they reached the second floor, they found the left side of the corridor packed with people.
A chorus of discussions could be heard.
"Someone's dead! Oh my god, there's so much blood!"
"Who died?"
"Seems like it was a man, killed by his wife."
"You don't know the half of it, the man was covered in blood, it's terrifying."
"Really? That's scary. That woman must be ruthless, that was her husband after all!"
"Tsk tsk, these days, when women get vicious, men don't stand a chance."
Everyone was chattering, continuously discussing the incident.
Hearing this, Yun Xiaoxiao and her companions furrowed their brows.
Could it be such a coincidence?
"The security team is here!" Someone shouted, and they saw several members of the security team quickly ascending from downstairs.
One of them was the person they had met earlier at Zheng Qishan's house.
When he saw Yun Xiaoxiao and her group, he was also startled.
Then, he quickly nodded in greeting.
Seeing the security team arrive, the crowd automatically dispersed.
Yun Xiaoxiao and her companions followed them.
They arrived at a room.
Inside was a large classroom, but now it had been divided into several small compartments by earthen walls.
Each compartment only had a piece of cloth as a door curtain, without an actual door.
Many onlookers were also standing inside.
Everyone's attention was focused on the leftmost compartment.
Yun Xiaoxiao and her group followed the security team members and saw a blood-covered corpse lying in the center of the dimly lit small compartment.
There was a broken bowl nearby.
A woman was curled up in the corner, staring at the corpse, trembling.
There were still untried tears at the corners of her eyes.
She looked very disheveled, with messy hair and blood stains at the corners of her mouth.
This woman was none other than Liu Li, whom Yun Xiaoxiao and her companions had met earlier.
The corpse was her husband.
That scumbag who had tried to sell his wife.
Now he lay lifeless in a pool of blood.
Yun Xiaoxiao and her companions' eyes flickered slightly.
On their way, they had imagined many possibilities, but this was not one of them.
"What exactly happened here?" One of the security team members sternly questioned Liu Li.
"I..." Liu Li opened her mouth, seemingly struggling to speak.
At that moment, she saw Yun Xiaoxiao and her group.
For some reason, she felt as if she had suddenly gained a lot of strength.
She mustered her courage and began to recount everything that had happened earlier in detail.
It turned out that after Liu Li decided to cut ties with her scumbag husband completely, she came back to pack her things so she could leave for good.
Although she didn't have many valuable possessions, even just a few old clothes were among the few things she had left now.
She couldn't possibly just abandon them.
But after she came back and had just finished packing, her husband returned.
As soon as he came back, he pinned her to the ground and beat her viciously, one slap after another, each with all his might.
She was beaten until she was dizzy and disoriented.
The man's mouth kept spewing vile words.
If you could think of it, he could say it.
As malicious as possible.
But Liu Li could endure all of this.
What made her completely lose control was that the man actually tried to strip her clothes off, intending to violate her!
He even said that after he was done with her, he would throw her naked body outside for everyone to see.
To see if she could ever hold her head up in the base again.
Thinking of that humiliating scene, the woman couldn't take it anymore.
She had never done anything to wrong her husband.
Aliali: 673eb950c4f3f33ac4ee7f08Not only had she been completely obedient to him, but she had also been filial to his parents, managed the household, and taken care of the children.
But after the apocalypse, this man had completely changed.
He became unrecognizable, more terrifying and disgusting than a demon.
At that moment, she was also enraged.
She struggled to reach for the bowl and desperately smashed it against the man's head.
Perhaps it was because she was too agitated, or perhaps she was worried that if she didn't hit hard enough, the man would seize the opportunity to assault her.
So she used all the strength she had ever possessed in her life.
With her eyes closed, without thinking, she just kept smashing.
When she had no strength left in her body, she opened her eyes and looked.
Only then did she realize that the man's head had been smashed beyond recognition, there was blood all over, and he had completely lost his life.
