Chapter 63: Exploiting An Opportunity
Right at this moment, Liu Gan’s enhanced sense of smell caught something. He slightly frowned as he followed the smell to the restaurant at the side of the street and, with his foot, kicked open the restaurant’s front doors before scanning the inside.
Liu Gan saw the mother and daughter pair tied up inside the restaurant with a cloth tied over their mouths. Seeing Liu Gan enter, they looked at him as if asking for help, but their gazes were filled with even more fear. This was because they didn’t know the personality of the person who had just came in.
Liu Gan approached Cheng Qi and removed the strip of cloth from her mouth. He was about to start questioning her when Cheng Qi cut him off.
“I beg you, please help us….” Cheng Qi pleaded with Liu Gan.This man looked a bit violent, so she did not know whether he was more wicked than Zhao Hui, but right now she had no other choice.
“Did the two men outside tie you up in this place?” Liu Gan asked Cheng Qi.
“Yes.” Cheng Qi nodded while looking at Liu Gan in fear.
Just now she was beside the restaurant’s front doors when she had heard someone screaming from the outside, not knowing who it was exactly. After Liu Gan opened the restaurant’s front door, it seemed as if the ones who were screaming had been Zhao Hui and ChenChen. Could it be that this was the man who had beaten those two up?
She did not know if she and her daughter were really finally saved or if they had just fallen into an even worse living hell. But even if this man was wicked, he couldn’t possibly be as wicked as Zhao Hui right?
“What do you need me to do for you?” Liu Gan asked Cheng Qi.
“Please let my daughter go, and I will do anything for you.” Cheng Qi clearly misunderstood Liu Gan’s intentions. As a woman lacking even the basic strength to truss a chicken, when faced with two evils, she could only choose the lesser of the two. It no longer mattered what would happen to her now. She only wanted her own daughter to escape this living hell.
[942: without the strength to truss a chicken -> refers to her physical condition being very poor]
Liu Gan frowned and stayed silent before leaving the restaurant. When Cheng Qi saw that Liu Gan didn’t even untie her bindings, she once again began to despair. In this post-apocalyptic world, aside from her own relatives, there was no one to trust and depend on. Why would others save and help her? Maybe this man was more cruel than the first two?
Shortly after he left, Liu Gan walked back into the restaurant. This time he held the screaming Zhao Hui in one hand and the screaming Chen Chen in the other. These two were currently missing arms and legs, and their bodies were covered in blood while their pale faces displayed expressions of extreme pain.
Not knowing why, when she finally realize what was going on in front of her very eyes, Cheng Qi all of a sudden no longer felt afraid. Instead, she felt fury brewing deep down within her for revenge. Zhao Hui and ChenChen had killed her husband, and they despicably turned him into BBQ. Taking things even further, they even tried to humiliate her and her daughter. Now that a person, much more evil than them, had maimed them, even if she died, even if she was humiliated by this sturdy man, she would still feel more at peace than before.
Liu Gan threw both Zhao Hui and ChenChen on the ground of the restaurant’s first floor. Then, he then stomped on their legs with his own alloy leg, stopping only until they were completely broken. During this process, Zhao Hui and Chen Chen let out even more mournful wails.
