He kept a Komodo dragon in a dog kennel. His tastes are truly out of this world.
"Ba Yi shuddered, 'My goodness, is there anything they won't keep?'"
"As long as it exists on Earth, they'll keep it," I sighed, feeling like I had seen all the darkness the world had to offer in northern Myanmar.
I spent the whole morning in a daze, doing nothing and making zero progress on my sales targets. Since it was the first day of August, most people had no achievements yet, so the team leaders and supervisors didn't interfere.
The morning passed peacefully. No one got beaten, and no one went missing.
"Little Bottle, come have lunch with me at the small villa," Liu Eleven suddenly called out as we were heading to the middle-tier cafeteria.
I looked at Ba Yi and the others, "Just me?"
Liu Eleven raised an eyebrow, "Did you want to invite the whole park to lunch?"
"Oh…then just me," I handed the "cookie box" to Ba Yi, gave him a look, and followed Liu Eleven to the small villa.
"Why are you walking so fast? Are you rushing to die?" Liu Eleven jogged to catch up with me and then clung to my right arm, very intimately.
I was exasperated and said, "Supervisor, please don't do this. I'm not used to it."
"You'll get used to it after holding hands more often!" Liu Eleven said, making me almost vomit.
Under the eaves, one has to bow. I had no choice but to let him drag me to the small villa with a blank expression.
Along the way, we attracted many curious looks from people in the park. Especially Yang Lianting, whose eyes seemed to be on fire.
It felt like I was being seen as a "scumbag."
When we entered the small villa, Liu Eleven let go of my hand, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, it was disgusting, but I really wanted to see his small villa.
Yan Zi poked her head out of the kitchen, cheerfully calling, "Supervisor, my cousin is here! One more dish to go, please wait a bit!"
She wore delicate makeup, an apron, a black tight-fitting dress, with her long hair casually tied up, looking every bit the housewife waiting for her husband to come home for dinner.
I quickly replied, "You go ahead, I'll just look around."
The small villa was spacious, with over 200 square meters on the first floor. It had four guest rooms and a large living room filled with various expensive paintings, ceramics, and other valuables.
The furniture was all made of redwood, and the wooden floor was covered with imported carpets, exuding luxury.
"Come, have a seat," Liu Eleven invited me to sit on the leather sofa and snapped his fingers.
Eight naked male pets walked out from the four guest rooms one by one.
This scene stunned me. I had heard of keeping maids, but never seen anyone keep male pets like this!
The eight male pets wore professional fake smiles, quickly walked to the middle of the living room, and immediately knelt on the ground, respectfully greeting, "Hello, Supervisor!"
Liu Eleven crossed his legs, "Make tea!"
"Yes!"
The last two male pets stood up to get the tea leaves, boil water, and prepare tea.
Two of the male pets crawled to us, knelt back to back, and then lay down on the ground, maintaining a horizontal line with their bodies.
The other two male pets quickly stood up, lifted redwood boards from the corner, and placed them on their backs.
The small pipes used to pour tea into the buckets were placed in their mouths…
Just like that, a human tea table was officially "installed."
Liu Eleven asked with satisfaction, "How is it, perfect or not?"
"Uh…" I was taken aback, not knowing how to answer, so I ambiguously said, "Won't they shiver?"
"You ask if they dare!" Liu Eleven lit a cigarette and then extinguished it on one of the male pets' arms.
Despite being burnt and gritting his teeth, the male pet holding up the redwood board remained motionless.
Probably too scared to move, forming muscle memory.
I didn't dare to ask more, afraid Liu Eleven would torture them further.
The remaining two male pets obediently knelt on the ground, one on each side, massaging Liu Eleven's legs.
Always smiling, not daring to show any resentment.
These male pets were all emaciated and pale, with no visible scars on their bodies.
Liu Eleven said it was to avoid ruining their appearance, so they weren't usually punished physically. If they made mistakes, they'd be fed to the "tiger."
Now that the tiger was dead, I wondered what strange pet he would keep next.
Watching all this absurdity, I felt like I had traveled back to a feudal dynasty…
Soon, the tea was ready. The male pets placed the boiling water on the human tea table and professionally poured two cups of fragrant tea.
"Supervisor, please enjoy your tea."
The other cup was handed to me.
I couldn't taste any fine tea leaves, only bitterness in my mouth and heart.
These male pets served Liu Eleven daily, always on their knees, without any dignity or rights.
For instance, they'd act as human chairs, human tables, human rocking horses, and so on—basically, tools.
A slight mistake meant death.
I was afraid they'd spill the hot water, but luckily, my worries were unnecessary. Liu Eleven soon ordered the tea-making male pets to remove the tea set.
Then came the dishes.
Five main courses and a mushroom soup.
I dared not start eating, causing Yan Zi to keep winking at me.
"What, don't you like the food?" Liu Eleven put down his chopsticks and gave me a sinister look.
I lied, "No, I've had stomach issues recently, so I can only eat some porridge and vegetables."
"Such fresh snake meat, and you can't eat it? What a pity! I heard old hens are good for the sick. Finish this bowl of dragon and phoenix soup."
Liu Eleven pointed to a bowl of broth, asking me to finish it.
Thinking Yan Zi made the food and it should be safe, I reluctantly drank the soup made of snake and chicken.
Thus, I had an excuse not to eat other meat dishes, saying I was full.
He didn't insist further. After lunch, he dismissed the male pets and took my hand to the basement to see Li Jianguo.
Yan Zi continued to act sweet and understanding, like a perfect "supportive wife."
In the basement, Liu Eleven suddenly said, "Boss Ning might come to see you tomorrow."
"Boss Ning wants to see me?"
I was shocked. Why would he want to meet me alone?
"Yes, if not tomorrow, then sometime this week."
"Why does he want to see me?"
"The thoughts of Boss Ning aren't something small fries like us can guess. Just handle it well."
"Yes, Supervisor, you're right!"
This Boss Ning must be incredibly influential. As China's top fugitive, to thrive in Myanmar, he must have serious skills.
Including Yan Zi, who could quickly control Liu Eleven, must also be a high-level player.
She certainly has big secrets she's hiding from me.
"Someone, turn on the lights!" Liu Eleven ordered the male pets to turn on all the basement lights, revealing a bloody and terrifying scene...
