Chapter 14 Bai Yexiu: Not a single one of the peripheral members is reliable (＊￣m￣)
Bai Yexiu discovered that he was currently troubled by a very serious problem.
He didn't know the way around here and couldn't find another place like a bar.
He had only been in Mihua for a short time and didn't know many of the roads yet. He had to ask passersby for directions to get to a certain place.
The bar he was just at was one he happened to pass by.
Bai Yexiu wandered aimlessly down the street, trying to decide whether to go home or do something else.
He quickly decided to eliminate the first person on the undercover agent list—the very person whose file he had sold. Performance was paramount, no matter what. And if he met his targets for the month ahead of schedule, he could have a long period of leisure afterwards.
Considering that he was a minor, the boss set a monthly performance cap for him. In other words, as long as he reached that level each month, he wouldn't have to work that month, unlike Gin who worked non-stop.
Thinking about it, Bai Yexiu opened his phone and found that person's file.
……
By the time he found the person and tied him up, it was almost midnight. Bai Yexiu really thought this person was incredibly fast; if he hadn't been able to throw a scalpel, he probably would have been catching him around midnight. Since he hadn't brought a gun with him today, he could only use a knife.
"Ugh! Ugh..." The man had a rag stuffed in his mouth and was looking at Bai Yexiu in horror, struggling desperately.
Suddenly, a scalpel gleaming with a cold, silver light was placed against the man's neck. Feeling the cool, smooth touch on his neck, the man's eyes widened, and he stopped struggling.
"If you move again, I'll kill you." Bai Yexiu removed his disguise to make it easier to chase him, revealing a pair of amber eyes staring at him dangerously, like the eyes of a wild beast, with even a kind smile on his face.
The scene looked incredibly bizarre to the man: a smiling young man holding a scalpel to his neck, threatening to kill him if he moved, which made the man tremble uncontrollably.
"Oh dear." Bai Yexiu feigned concern, glancing at the man's leg. "The wound on your leg seems to have reopened. Was I a little too rough just now?"
The wound on the man's leg was caused when Bai Yexiu stuck a scalpel into his leg while he was chasing him.
“It’s alright,” Bai Yexiu smiled at the man, took out a syringe from his pocket containing a pale red, unidentified liquid, and held up the syringe.
"Ugh... Ugh! Ugh..." The man shook his head frantically, looking at Bai Yexiu, who looked like a demon, in horror.
The light red liquid in the injection was a "truth serum" developed by Pei Nuo. She said she didn't know how effective it would be, so she sent it to Bai Yexiu and reminded him that it was meant to be dripped onto the wound, and told him to find someone to try it on.
Ignoring the man's terror, Bai Yexiu poured a little bit onto the man's wound, resulting in a wisp of white smoke rising from it. The man seemed to be in great pain, struggling violently as if trying to scream, but his mouth was stuffed with a rag.
He seemed to understand why this thing was called "truth serum"... This is concentrated sulfuric acid, isn't it?
Once the man's struggles subsided a bit, Bai Yexiu pulled the rag out of his mouth: "So, how about it? Ready to confess?"
"..." The man opened his mouth but did not speak.
But Bai Yexiu noticed that the man's eyes were a little dazed at this moment, and thought that the so-called "truth serum" might be taking effect.
"I...I'll tell you everything..." The man's voice was a little hoarse, but after he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly returned to normal, and he looked at Bai Yexiu in terror once again.
“Tell me, who is your boss? Are there any of your people in the organization? Who are they?” Bai Yexiu kicked the man’s leg.
"I won't tell, you might as well just kill me!" the man shouted.
That's interesting. He's clearly terrified, but he just won't say it.
Sure enough, those who were sent to infiltrate were all quite capable.
For example, this guy is incredibly stubborn. He's clearly terrified, but he still talks big without any restraint.
"Then let's continue to take care of your leg~" Bai Yexiu smiled happily and poured the entire syringe into the man's wound.
A thick plume of white smoke billowed out, and the man struggled desperately, roaring, but his voice was already hoarse and he could no longer make a sound.
Bai Yexiu was glad he hadn't taken this person to the guesthouse area, otherwise he would have definitely woken up some residents.
This is a suite in an abandoned apartment building. There are no residents around, only some shops, but they are all closed at this time.
At this moment, the man's eyes became unfocused again, and he honestly answered all the questions Bai Yexiu had just asked.
It seems that this "truth serum" is not simply sulfuric acid.
After this hands-on experience, Bai Yexiu felt that this truth serum was much more practical than the strange high-tech products Pei Nuo had sent him before.
At this moment, the man returned to normal, and Bai Yexiu picked up the rag next to the table and stuffed it into his mouth, mainly to prevent him from making random noises.
Although there were few people around, the frequent screams might attract some patrolling police officers and curious passersby.
The man clearly remembered the words he had uttered under the influence of the "truth serum," and was now nervously glancing at Bai Yexiu, pondering what method he could use to escape.
But Bai Yexiu didn't want him to think anymore. The scalpel spun once in Bai Yexiu's hand before slipping out and piercing the man's throat like an arrow.
He might be unsure about other things, but he's definitely a master at throwing knives.
Bai Yexiu opened his phone, reported the information he had obtained to Gin, and then searched for nearby peripheral members, only to find that none of them were online.
When it really matters, none of them are reliable.
Bai Yexiu frowned and searched the apartment for several minutes before finding a burlap sack. He put the body inside and dragged it around, trying to find a secluded place to dispose of it.
Because he simply couldn't lift the body of an adult male. And since the other members weren't around, he had to drag the corpse himself.
Bai Yexiu was dragging a sack and felt like a suspicious person—in the dead of night, a person dressed in black dragging a sack that looked like it contained a corpse was walking around outside. Wasn't that suspicious enough?
As for Gin...
[Okay, I'm busy. —Gin]
Alright, Gin didn't have time to help him deal with it either, so Bai Yexiu temporarily put aside the idea of having Gin help transport the body.
Bai Yexiu picked up his phone again and checked the nearby peripheral members, only to find that no one was online.
How can they be so unreliable...
Filled with resentment, Bai Yexiu suddenly spotted a familiar figure not far away—
It's the man who bought information about the organization from him; it looks like he's looking for someone.
Bai Yexiu smiled slightly, pulled the body out of the sack, and threw it on the man's usual route, deciding to have the man help him transport the body.
Anyway, "Bound Chains" is only responsible for selling information; if someone dies, it's none of his business.
Then, Bai Yexiu left triumphantly.
At that moment, the man selling information suddenly saw what appeared to be a person lying in front of him. He ran over and found that the person looked somewhat familiar.
Upon closer inspection, he realized it was the person from the file!
No way, how could he be dead? I was just about to go find him.
At that moment, the man felt as if his check was defiantly wriggling its hips at him, before being thrown into the embrace of the chains.
hateful!
The man beat his chest in despair, heartbroken and remorseful—if I had known this person was going to die, I wouldn't have bought that intelligence! What's the point of investigating at all?
