He is shorter than me, and if he stood on his tiptoes to pat my shoulder, it would look a bit funny.
Pretending to be sad, I said, "Brother Ning, they came to provoke me at the park today. I only used 30% of my strength... but unfortunately, punches and kicks don't have eyes, and they still got seriously injured."
"Don't worry too much. It's just a few useless thugs. I'll handle it for you. Professor, what do you think? We'll need your help to say a few good words to the Chief of Staff!"
Brother Ning turned and smiled at Ace the Old Fox, who looked serious.
I didn't know what secret deal they made before I arrived, but to my surprise, they didn't scold or punish me.
The less they said, the more uneasy I felt.
The trap waiting for me ahead would be even bigger.
Sure enough, Ace the Old Fox adjusted his signature gold-rimmed glasses and slowly said, "Come, sit down. This is black tea from Hunan. See if it's genuine."
I pursed my lips and walked over to sit opposite them.
Liu Eleven sat down next to me and began making tea.
Swallow, obediently leaning against Brother Ning, skillfully and gently massaged his shoulders and legs, with a sweet smile on her face.
Seeing this scene reminded me of how she massaged my arm in the dormitory earlier, and I felt a bit uncomfortable.
To survive, we all had to flatter and grovel under the devil's tyranny.
I wondered when it would ever end.
"Professor, it is indeed a premium tea from Anhua County in Yiyang." After drinking the black tea handed over by Liu Eleven, I said, somewhat melancholically.
Ace the Old Fox took a sip of tea and said, "Little Bottle, last time you killed Patun, we paid over a million each to barely keep Kill Crazy quiet.
This time you killed four people at once. How do you think we should handle you?"
"Whatever the Professor and Brother Ning decide, I owe everything to you. If you want to hand me over to Kill Crazy, I have no complaints!"
I looked at Ace the Old Fox calmly, not humble nor arrogant, meeting his sinister, deep gaze.
"You're not afraid?"
"As long as it keeps you and Brother Ning out of trouble, what does death matter? After all, my life was given by the Professor."
"Hahaha, I like bold young men. People like you can help me achieve great things! It's not hard for you to stay alive. As long as the Chief of Staff supports you, Kill Crazy won't dare say a word!"
So, Ace the Old Fox liked flattery too. He immediately decided to spare my life, but there were two conditions, both to be completed within a day.
Brother Ning said that two of the four people died on the way to the hospital.
As for the other two, it depended on whether they could survive the night.
The four had severe internal and external injuries; two died directly from liver and gallbladder rupture and a broken neck.
Due to poor medical conditions in Myawaddy, they needed to contact Kill Crazy and send them back to Thailand for treatment.
When the Chief of Staff learned about this, he assigned a task to Ace the Old Fox.
He said that if I completed it successfully, everything would be forgotten; otherwise, I would be publicly executed to satisfy Kill Crazy.
The method of public execution was extremely brutal, even more disgusting and cruel than death itself.
I didn't want to be tortured to death without dignity, so I agreed to the two tasks.
"Little Bottle, the Chief of Staff said that Brother Ning will cover the huge funeral and medical expenses. I will assign you two tasks. Kill Crazy won't dare cause trouble in Myawaddy.
We'll deal with future issues later. First, we solve this problem. What do you think?" Ace the Old Fox lit a Cuban cigar and spoke leisurely.
I had no choice but to nod, "I will follow the Professor's arrangements."
As long as he didn't kill me or those around me, everything else didn't matter.
Swallow tried to plead several times, but I stopped her with a glance. If she spoke up, the outcome would be different.
"The first task is to kidnap at least 20 girls tonight. Not one less.
Once you successfully take them, my people will pick you up, and then you'll take them to the designated place. That will complete half the task."
Sending me to kidnap girls in the dark—what kind of task was this? Just the typical gangland blackmailing?
Ace the Old Fox blew a smoke ring and continued, "Sounds simple, doesn't it? It is. The second task is closely connected to the first.
After you take the girls to the location, the villa owner and his bodyguards will inspect them.
At this moment, you need to seize the opportunity to kill them all! Remember, don't let even a dog escape! After killing everyone, take the kidnapped girls and the villa owner's women out.
There will be people to pick you up outside. Once done, the task is complete! Do you understand?"
I organized my thoughts and asked, "When do we act, where do we kidnap, who will partner with me, what weapons should I carry? Can you describe their appearance and number?"
"Tonight at 12. My people will drive you to the ambush spot, no need to ask the address. We don't know the exact number in the villa, but there are several black bodyguards.
There are new and old women every day, countless. Here is a photo of the villa owner. Remember his face; he's the key to completing the task."
Ace took out his phone and showed me several high-resolution photos.
The villa was a traditional Chinese building, with ancient Chinese style, surrounded by armed patrols and lush greenery.
A main road led directly to the villa gate. The villa's owner turned out to be a military man, judging by his epaulets, a brigadier general.
About 45 years old, slightly overweight, with fierce eyes, a full beard, a violent temper, and an extremely unpleasant appearance.
"Curious, aren't you? Why does the Chief of Staff want you to wipe out his family? Because he has been secretly undermining the Chief of Staff's son's position. So, you get it!
Be swift and clean; don't let the soldiers outside notice anything wrong, or you'll die there with him."
Ace showed me their photos, including the villa's escape routes, basement, and details about the bodyguards' fighting skills.
He especially emphasized that I must at least kill the general and escape successfully to complete the task.
The women were just a cover to get into the villa. If I could take them out, great; if not, kill them all.
No traces could be left.
At first, I thought kidnapping some girls would be simple!
But it turned out...
The real task was to get into the villa under the guise of delivering the girls and then massacre everyone!
He didn't tell me how many family members there were, probably to prevent me from hesitating or escaping.
