Chapter 54

Outside Wonderland, everything was quiet. The zombies had been lured away by the flare, making the area outside the door completely safe. At this moment, the entire bar street was dark, except for Wonderland, which still had lights on. It was as if, in this desolate world of zombies, Wonderland still held the last glimmer of hope.

Lily finished her request and looked around at the few people nearby.

Wang Can and Wang Zongze nodded without any hesitation. After what had happened during the day, they could no longer treat Li Fatty and his group as outsiders. Fang Gan and Qi Qi also nodded at Lily, indicating their agreement.

The little girl Ning Dongqing had gone to the bathroom. Lily had already discussed this matter with them during the day, so it didn't matter that she wasn't there.

Everyone had their own eyes. Through the past two days, they had seen very clearly what kind of team Li Fatty and his group were. A group of people who risked their lives to find medicine for their companions should be trustworthy, right?

"Of course, there's no problem. As long as it doesn't threaten the team, we welcome anyone to join, regardless of their nationality, gender, skin color, or age."

Li Fatty agreed readily.

"This should also be a principle we uphold in the future. I hope that even when we act independently, everyone will remember this."

Li Fatty finished speaking and glanced at Belinda, who was sitting in the corner. She had been huddled there with her head down, and it was unclear whether she had heard his words.

"Does anyone have any questions?"

Li Fatty's question was essentially directed at Belinda.

Surprisingly, Belinda just huddled there, showing no intention of speaking. What was Belinda up to? If she had something to ask, she should have said it by now. If she wanted to join them, she should have shown some indication after his speech.

Li Fatty felt genuinely puzzled.

"If no one has any issues, shall we call it a night?" Li Fatty looked at everyone and asked.

Albe glanced at Belinda, who was sitting alone, and felt a pang of discomfort.

"Wait, I need to talk to you. Can you come upstairs?" Albe said, pointing to the second floor.

Li Fatty didn't know what Albe was up to but had no choice but to follow her upstairs. The people gathered in the front hall didn't know whether to disperse, so they stayed and chatted.

"What's the matter that you need to keep it from the others and come up here to talk about it?"

The two of them went upstairs and walked to the back to prevent the people downstairs from hearing.

The sofas on the second floor seemed to have been moved by Lily and her group, all pushed together.

"Um, there's something that needs your decision, and it's best not to let others know." Albe sat down on one of the sofas facing Li Fatty and spoke softly.

"What can't be said in front of everyone? Everyone is quite sensitive right now, and it's best not to make them feel like we're hiding something."

"Belinda was raped."

Li Fatty was taken aback by Albe's words.

"Are you serious?" This was clearly unexpected, and Li Fatty asked, still somewhat disbelieving.

"Would I joke about something like this?"

"Alright, we really need to keep this from them, otherwise Belinda..."

Li Fatty sat up straight, scratching his head. This was a tricky situation.

"Who is the culprit?"

Li Fatty couldn't help but pray inwardly that it wasn't Yan Zejun, Arthur, or Si Yao.

"Big Tom."

Li Fatty let out a long sigh.

"At least it's not..."

"At least it's not?"

Albe was a bit angry at Li Fatty's words.

To prevent Albe from misunderstanding, Li Fatty quickly explained, "I mean, at least it's not someone from our team, which would have been even more complicated."

In fact, when Albe told Li Fatty about this, a few names had popped into his head. Apart from the relatively weak Jing Shang and Fang Gan, who had no reason to be suspected, if Richard, Arthur, Hong Taiping, or anyone else had done this, what would he do...

"Alcohol really causes trouble!" Li Fatty sighed.

Last night, except for a few people, everyone had drunk quite a lot. Big Tom must have acted out of character after drinking, taking advantage of Belinda while she was drunk.

They hadn't heard any commotion last night, which suggested that Belinda was also drunk and didn't resist in time. Thinking of Belinda's appearance and figure, Li Fatty couldn't help but recall the saying: beauty often brings misfortune.

"Although she's not part of our team and it wasn't done by one of us, she came to us for help. What should we do?" Albe explained Belinda's request and sought Li Fatty's opinion.

"Of course, we need to handle this. We're going out to look for Si Yao and Alex in the next few days. If we leave a time bomb like this at home, how can I feel at ease?" Li Fatty answered without hesitation.

Whether it was the girls on the second floor or Albe and her group, they were all very beautiful. Who knows what Big Tom might do next. Moreover, most of the fighting force would be going out tomorrow, leaving the house understaffed, so they couldn't just ignore him.

Albe nodded and asked, "What do you plan to do with him?"

Li Fatty took out a Yuxi cigarette, smoked it while thinking.

"Is there a possibility that Belinda is lying?"

After all, one shouldn't believe a one-sided story.

"But Belinda has no reason to lie."

Albe was right; Belinda wouldn't lie about something like this.

"What does Belinda want?" Li Fatty blew out a smoke ring and asked Albe.

"Today, she has been quietly wiping away tears and sitting alone, not talking to anyone. Someone like Tom, Belinda can't possibly forgive him."

As Albe spoke, she suddenly became cold and distant, which was a bit intimidating.

"Um..."

Li Fatty thought for a moment and said, "In a situation like this, the victim definitely doesn't want others to know. But how to deal with Big Tom, I think it's best to get everyone's input."

Seeing that Albe didn't respond, Li Fatty continued, "After all, if we handle it too lightly, it won't be fair to Belinda, but if we handle it too harshly, I'm afraid there will be objections."

"Li Fatty."

"Um?"

"Although I don't particularly like Lily, some of the things she said make sense."

"Huh? What did she say?" Li Fatty had completely forgotten their conversation from the night before.

"Do you remember the questions Lily asked you last night?" Seeing Li Fatty's confused look, Albe tried to guide him.

"Um, I only remember drinking a lot. She did ask me some questions, but I can't remember them."

Li Fatty stubbed out his cigarette and tried to recall, but still couldn't remember.

"Alright, first, I want to clarify that I didn't eavesdrop; I just happened to hear it." Albe touched her hair and said matter-of-factly.

Although the music was quieter last night, their conversation wasn't loud. How could you hear it without eavesdropping?

Of course, Li Fatty could only inwardly complain about this.
