Actually, Liu Eleven wanting to take over the Victory Park boss isn't anything new. This includes Yang Lian-ting too. Unfortunately, Yang Lian-ting wasn't destined to be a boss. He thought he could kill the park boss by taking him to a hotel, using drugs, and then take over the park.
Little did he know that Liu Eleven's boss would turn the tables. When he heard that Yang Lian-ting's boss was in the hospital, he played his trump card and took over the park without spending a penny! This almost made Yang Lian-ting die from anger.
Yang Lian-ting had spent years currying favor with the boss, providing beautiful women to serve him, and risking his life with drugs. But in the end, Liu Eleven's boss took advantage. Anyone would be mad! But what could he do? Liu Eleven's boss was powerful and influential locally.
He even warned Yang Lian-ting that if he tried to run away with the money, he would never leave Myawaddy alive. Yang Lian-ting couldn't return to China, so where could he go? Liu's family had influence all over Southeast Asia and could kill him easily. It was like squashing an ant.
After weighing his options, Yang Lian-ting had to swallow his pride and stay as Liu Eleven's second-in-command. That's also why he tried to win me over.
As for Liu Eleven, there's an even bigger secret. He revealed this while high on drugs last night, talking to Yan Zi. Liu Eleven's original family wasn't happy. His birth was a tragedy. His father was a womanizer with many mistresses, and Liu Eleven's birth mother was one of them.
She thought having Liu Eleven would secure her place in the family, but there were many children and mistresses. Liu Eleven's father didn't care about his mother, who was a commoner. His father's wife even threatened to kill them, so his mother fled to Myawaddy with him, hiding in the mountains for months.
He was named Eleven because he was the eleventh illegitimate child. This name was a constant pain and motivation for him. His father never visited or supported them, even when his mother died. Liu Eleven was raised by his grandparents after losing his mother at five.
Being a parentless child in the village, he faced bullying. His delicate appearance made him a target for an old bachelor who abused him horribly. These tragic experiences twisted his personality. Learning about his background, he vowed revenge on the Liu family.
To improve his grandparents' lives, he used the Liu family name to gain power in Myawaddy. The Liu family in Kokang, perhaps out of guilt, never responded or stopped him. This only fueled his madness. Three years ago, after his grandparents died, Liu Eleven became a bloodthirsty maniac.
"Who's the Victory Park boss?" I asked, as I had never seen him and thought it was a Liu family asset. Yan Zi thought for a moment and said, "I heard he's called Ning Ge, but I don't know his full name."
"Ning Ge sounds like a Chinese name." I frowned, feeling it was familiar.
"Yes, he said the boss is Chinese and very wealthy, with a private army in northern Myanmar."
"It seems Liu Eleven has some skills, climbing up to such a figure and even plotting to overthrow him. His ambition is big!" I thought this might be why Liu Eleven hadn't killed me, thinking he could use me someday. Keeping Yan Zi close wasn't just because of her medical skills but also to control me, as she was my distant "cousin."
I advised, "Find a chance to check his second and third floors, search every room for useful evidence or leverage. But ensure your safety first. I don't want you to get hurt."
"I know. Do you know what those male pets do every day?" Yan Zi asked dramatically. I shook my head, looking into the distance.
"Those over ten male pets serve him like dogs. Some clean his body in the morning, some massage him at night, and some, who look delicate, do that thing for his enjoyment…"
By cleaning, she meant using their mouths and tongues after he went to the bathroom. Night massages were self-explanatory. Those ridden like horses suffered more, carrying him around the mansion naked for hours.
Even a robot would break down, let alone a person. Slow movements or falls resulted in beatings. The "dueling" male pets maintained their performance with drugs, looking pale and skeletal. When they lost their utility, Liu Eleven fed them to his "tiger" before finding new ones.
Shocked, I asked, "Does he have a man-eating tiger?"
Yan Zi laughed, "No, it's a snake!"
"What?" I had thought it was a tiger but it was a Burmese python named "Tiger"!
"It's a huge Burmese python, around 400 pounds, kept in the basement. It just lies there silently, staring, giving you chills."
I imagined this "tiger" eating the male pets, feeling odd about it.
"Liu Eleven said he chopped up useless people to feed the tiger, fearing it might overeat. Many were thrown into a crocodile pit."
"I'm scared. I don't want to die. I want to escape with you," Yan Zi said, gripping my hand, her eyes filled with fear of the unknown.
