Today, A-Liu continues to live a carefree life. It turns out that a life of being so content with one's lot that one forgets everything else, lacks ambition and drive, can be so joyful.
He's been infected by Chi Jingyi's laziness, and now he's even playing mahjong quite well.
It wasn't that he didn't want to go out and do work, but Mr. Chi and his wife actually asked them all to slack off and be as useless as possible. Although it was a bit puzzling, they had never dared to dream of such a good thing before.
"It's your turn, Liu'er," Chi Jingyi urged.
A-Liu: "Oh, it's Red Center!"
Zhong Feifei: "Bang..."
A loud bang suddenly rang out as the door slammed shut, sending dust billowing throughout the room.
A-Liu: "??!!"
A-Wu stood up and immediately pulled out a weapon from his waist—a retractable stun baton. "You protect the two of you, I'll take care of this!"
Before he could finish speaking, he realized that Ms. Zhong and Mr. Chi were no longer in their seats. In that instant, he even imagined how he would die when he faced Yan Guiyun later.
Who on earth possessed such incredible speed, like a lightning bolt, and kidnapped the two of them?
A-Liu was equally shocked, and they quickly headed towards the door.
But as the dust settled, A-Liu discovered that a large group of people had collapsed on the ground, all dressed in black hooded robes and covered in dust.
A-Wu and A-Liu felt this world was surreal, insane, truly insane! Were these two even human? They were the first to disbelieve it!
"What are you standing there for? Tie them up." Chi Jingyi's voice startled A-Wu A-Liu, who quickly found ropes to tie them up.
After saying that, Zhong Feifei and Chi Jingyi disappeared again.
A-Wu and A-Liu: "..." Really, their little hearts can't take a scare at all.
Next, all the people lying in ambush in the corners of the entire ancient building were caught like turtles in a jar by the bodyguards on the outside.
At the end, A-Wu and A-Liu felt betrayed by the whole world. What happened to their plan to just sit back and do nothing? These people actually took advantage of their inattention to steal the credit.
Even as they left the police station, the two of them were still questioning their existence. How filthy! How filthy their colleagues were!
They clearly said in the WeChat group that they were going to have fun and eat all kinds of delicious food!
I never expected this! I really never expected this!
The two boys' sad, frog-like expressions nearly made Zhong Feifei laugh herself silly, "Hahahaha... Honey, they're so cute!"
Chi Jingyi: "Indeed, you played mahjong quite well. Let's continue tonight."
A-Wu, A-Liu: "..."
The men Chi Er sent out haven't returned even though it's already 3 a. m.!
He's already sent out half of his men! What's going on?
Both signal and location have disappeared?
Who is it?!
Chi Er's face was extremely pale at this moment. He went back to the bedroom and woke up his wife Mengying.
Mengying was wearing a black lace camisole, and it wasn't just her eyes that were full of life; she looked at the person beside the bed with a dazed expression.
"What's wrong?"
"The group that went out today is gone."
Mengying frowned. "Gone? Really? They're just a bunch of traitors, how could they possibly lose?"
Chi Er laughed. Traitors? Indeed, when he received the information before, this group of people loved playing mahjong, only knew how to eat and drink, and were completely idle. They were more like a group of gangsters.
Even though their people passed by, dressed so mysteriously and unusually, it didn't arouse their suspicion in the slightest.
He couldn't help but sneer, "You mean the people I trained can't beat a bunch of traitors?"
Mengying rubbed her eyes and said, "You know that's not what I meant. These people might be in disguise. If they really are Yan Guiyun's men, since they found our location, why didn't they just come and ambush us?"
This is actually something that Chi Er doesn't understand.
"Tomorrow, I'll go out and meet them." Chi Er couldn't swallow this insult; no matter who it was, he was determined to find all the missing pawns.
"Okay," Mengying replied casually and went back to sleep.
next day
Chi Er appeared in front of an old building in a secluded area. He was wearing a retro Zhongshan suit, and his smile was both unpleasant and eerie.
The people around him were all unfinished products, unfamiliar with many skills, and were forced into it.
They wanted to escape, but dared not. They were afraid of dying, afraid of being caught by Chi Er again after escaping.
The youngest of them was only 13 years old, still in the first or second year of junior high school, yet they were now forced to appear in a place where life and death could be theirs.
Most of their companions didn't come back last night. They were a group of older brothers who had already "graduated." When they went out, their expressions were calm, but their eyes were lifeless and filled with sorrow, as if they were world-weary.
So when they finally appeared here, they felt relieved.
Perhaps so; ever since they were sold by their relatives, they have embarked on a dark path.
They have no right to decide their own life or death, but the enemy can, and so can Chi Er in front of them.
They watched themselves and their companions train day and night, and those who were not fast or strong enough would eventually be whipped with barbed whips.
They were once young people who loved life and were full of hope, but they never expected that hell and darkness would come so unexpectedly.
No matter how crazy they go, how they run away, or how they self-harm, they will all end up with one fate: either death or becoming a qualified assassin.
Ironically, they're not even qualified to be assassins yet, but they're already rushing out to their deaths.
None of the brothers from yesterday have returned... their fate is unknown.
Zhu Ying: "Hey you guys inside, come out! I'm curious to see what you're up to... What's this?"
She suddenly noticed that the ancient building was covered in knife marks, indicating that a battle had taken place there.
"You go first," Chi Er ordered, his face grim.
Everyone rushed inside.
For them, the black robes were nothing short of an endless darkness.
The assassins showed no awareness of their role as killers; instead, they all seemed to have planned it in advance, collapsing to the ground en masse.
Chi Er: "???"
Mengying: "???"
His eyes widened, his face instantly contorting with terror, fear, and panic, as if he had seen a demon crawling out of hell.
Chi Er turned to flee, no longer caring about the group of people who had collapsed inside the building.
His voice trembled, and his legs seemed paralyzed. He tried to move them, but found that he couldn't move them at all. "Big brother... don't kill me! I didn't kill you!!!" His lips trembled, and he turned his head and saw that although Mengying was afraid, her eyes were full of longing and love.
Chi Er: " Mengying! Wake up! He's not my older brother! He's my older brother's ghost!"
Mengying: "Impossible! How could my brother be dead? How could he just die? Didn't he go abroad?"
Chi Er remembered that he had lied to Mengying, saying that his older brother was not dead.
