Zhang Yi asked indifferently, "What do you think?"
Beside Fang Yuqing, Wang Min and the others nudged her, urging her to get to the point.
Fang Yuqing sniffled, crying, "Zhang Yi, Zhou Peng and the others were injured by your arrows. They're seriously hurt now. We have no medicine at home, and they'll die from infections."
"Didn't you buy a lot of medicine before? Please, lend us some."
"I... I promise we won't bother you again in the future!"
Zhang Yi paused his cooking, bewildered by Fang Yuqing's twisted logic.
"Fang Yuqing, do you know why I used rusty arrows to shoot them?"
"I wanted them to suffer and die painfully from infections. That was my goal!"
"And you come to me asking for medicine? Are you out of your mind?"
Zhang Yi laughed and cursed.
Fang Yuqing and the others understood this perfectly well.
But now, if they didn't shamelessly ask Zhang Yi for help, they could only watch their companions die.
And Zhou Peng and the other two men were their hope for survival in the future.
Fang Yuqing cried, "Zhang Yi, we were wrong. Please, let them go this time. We promise we won't trouble you again."
"And in these difficult times, we should help each other."
"Don't be so cold-blooded, okay? Will you really feel happy if they die?"
Before Fang Yuqing could finish, Zhang Yi firmly said, "Yes, I feel very happy right now."
Fang Yuqing was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say.
Wang Min walked over anxiously and said to Zhang Yi, "Zhang Yi, I'm Wang Min. Do you remember? I treated you to a meal before!"
Zhang Yi rolled his eyes.
Wang Min had once asked for his help to get some goods from the warehouse at a low price.
Zhang Yi did have a meal with her, but he later helped her make a lot of money.
"Do you think that's relevant?"
Zhang Yi sneered and asked back.
Wang Min swallowed hard, hearing Zhou Peng's screams from the living room.
Zhang Yi felt a sense of pleasure, wishing he could see their miserable faces.
Wang Min said, "Zhang Yi, everyone is struggling to survive now, and there's also that tyrant Chen Zhenghao killing people. We should leave some room for each other; you might need us in the future."
"If you give us the medicine this time, I, Wang Min, will remember your kindness and repay you in the future!"
Zhang Yi scoffed, "Kindness? Do you think I'm an idiot?"
"Those guys were injured by me, and one of your people died, with the body right outside my door."
"No matter what I do, this enmity won't end until one of us is dead. Helping you would just invite your revenge later. That's hilarious!"
Wang Min tried to explain, "We're not that kind of people!"
"Enough! It's pointless."
Zhang Yi clicked his tongue, "Whether you're that kind of people doesn't matter to me. What matters is that I don't believe you're not that kind of people, so I won't save you."
Saving those who want to harm him?
That would be pure saintly behavior. No matter how eloquent they were, Zhang Yi wouldn't be swayed.
Seeing that Zhang Yi was unmoved, the group became anxious.
Wang Min's eyebrows furrowed, "Zhang Yi, don't push us too far! If you force us to die, who knows what we might do!"
Facing Wang Min's threat, Zhang Yi laughed disdainfully, "Haven't you already done everything you could?"
"If you had the ability, you would've broken into my house, killed me, and taken everything by now."
"I'm not scared easily; your threats don't work on me."
Fang Yuqing grabbed the phone and cried to Zhang Yi, "Zhang Yi, do we really have to go this far? We used to be so good together."
"Why can't we let go of our grudges and start over? Qing'er has always had feelings for you!"
At this moment, Zhou Peng was biting a towel, undergoing surgery in the next room.
Hearing this, his eyes almost popped out, and he groaned even louder.
Facing such a clever bitch, Zhang Yi couldn't help but admire her; her face was thicker than a city wall.
But it wasn't surprising. In this environment, Zhang Yi was like a wealthy tycoon.
Gold-diggers clinging to rich men were experts at this.
Suddenly, an evil idea popped into Zhang Yi's mind.
He knew the others were nearby, and Zhou Peng could hear their conversation.
So Zhang Yi deliberately said, "Ah, Yuqing, I still have feelings for you. It's just that you hurt me too deeply back then, and I can't get over it."
This sentence was like a match, igniting Fang Yuqing's hope.
Ignoring the angry looks from the others, she trembled with excitement and said, "Brother Zhang Yi, I knew you wouldn't stop loving Qing'er!"
"You're so silly. Qing'er loves you the most. Those things before were just to test you. Oh, you blockhead, why didn't you understand my feelings?"
Wang Min and the others felt nauseated, and Zhou Peng almost fainted from anger.
But they thought if Fang Yuqing could hook up with Zhang Yi, they might get his house and supplies, so they stayed silent.
"Brother Zhang Yi, let Qing'er move in with you! Qing'er will be your woman from now on. You can do whatever you want with Qing'er. Okay?"
Zhang Yi smiled slightly.
"Sure!"
Fang Yuqing jumped up in excitement, more thrilled than drinking soy milk.
Lin Caining couldn't wait and said, "Take me with you, take me with you!"
Fang Yuqing shot her a cold glance, sneering internally.
Zhang Yi's cold voice came from the phone again.
"But, Yuqing, the only person I love is you. So I can only accept you coming over."

"As for those other people, you should keep your distance from them. In these tough times, we shouldn't let a group of people drag us down. Don't you agree?"
Everyone's faces changed at these words.
They had hoped Fang Yuqing hooking up with Zhang Yi would benefit them all.
But Zhang Yi's words suggested cutting ties with them instead?
Fang Yuqing was too excited to care about the others.
She nodded eagerly, agreeing to everything.
"Okay, okay, everything will be as you say, brother. Qing'er will listen to you!"
"Then come over now, don't worry about the others."
"Mm, mm, I'm coming right away, brother, wait for me!"
Fang Yuqing's face was flushed with excitement. The thought of escaping her hellish life left her mind blank.
She immediately ran towards the door.
Wang Min and the others were filled with rage.
Seeing Fang Yuqing about to abandon them for Zhang Yi, Lin Caining grabbed her.
Fang Yuqing turned back, her face twisted as she roared, "Get out of my way! Don't stop me from going to Zhang Yi's house. I've had enough of this life!"
As soon as she finished, Wang Min's heavy slap landed on her face.
"You shameless bitch, after causing us so much misery, you think you can just walk away? No way!"
