After hearing this, the three brothers immediately stood up again, "Boss Qin, we really can't stay in a place this nice! You should just let the three of us find somewhere ourselves."
"Afa, you said it yourself, District 7 is worth its weight in gold. With the few coins you've got in your pockets, you wouldn't even get a clean spot under a bridge. If you don't stay where I arranged, where can you stay?"
"But Boss Qin…"
"No more buts. What's two hundred silver coins? Compared to what I plan to invest in the three of you later, this is just small change."
"Small… small change?"
This time, Wang Defa and his two brothers were stunned again.
Wang Defa looked like he was about to cry, "Boss Qin, the three of us, how could we be worth that much—"
"How much you're worth is something you earn yourself. Afa, Ayou, Azhong, don't think your lives are cheap right now. Once you become sequence ability users, paying this money back will be easy."
[T/N: Wang Defa: Afa/ Wang Dezhong: Azhong/ Wang Deyou: Ayou. Like brother Defa, brother Dezhong and brother Deyou shortened.]
Even though they had already known in advance, hearing Qin Siyang confirm face to face again that he would let the three brothers become sequence ability users still made them feel shocked and overjoyed.
"Let's not talk about that for now," Qin Siyang's gaze fell on the five or six sacks in the corner of the room that had been moving all this time, "The people stuffed in those sacks have watched the show long enough. It's time for them to show their faces."
"Afa, Ayou, Azhong, do you know who's inside the sacks?"
Wang Defa shook his head, "Boss Qin told the three of us to wait here, so we waited honestly. You didn't tell us to open the sacks, so we wouldn't open them."
"Open them."
"Okay."
The three brothers stepped forward and untied the ropes at the mouths of the sacks.
"Du Wei?"
When Wang Defa saw Du Wei tied up tightly with his mouth stuffed, he couldn't help but cry out in a low voice.
In the other sacks were the killers who worked for Du Wei. Old Snake was among them too.
"Boss Qin, this is?"
Qin Siyang said calmly, "Things succeed in secrecy and fail through loose talk. I'm training the three of you because there's something big to do. Quite a few people are watching me. It would be easy for them to follow the clues and find something from you three. So before you can stand on your own, our relationship needs to stay confidential."
"Not many people in the whole 14121 area know you work for me. They're all here. The three of you deal with them."
Wang Defa looked at Du Wei, who was trembling all over. He clenched his fists, a cold light in his eyes. Then he came back to his senses and bowed deeply to Qin Siyang, "Thank you, Boss Qin, for giving me this chance to kill my enemy with my own hands! Boss Qin, it's fine if the room gets dirty, right?"
Qin Siyang waved his hand, "Don't worry about that. Someone will clean it."
Wang Defa grabbed Du Wei by the hair and dragged him to the corner of the wall. Wang Deyou and Wang Dezhong followed behind.
Du Wei's head hurt, but with his mouth stuffed, he could only make muffled groans.
Wang Defa pulled the cloth out of Du Wei's mouth.
Du Wei immediately shouted toward Qin Siyang, who was sitting on the sofa, "Qin Siyang! I'm the deputy director of the police bureau! An official of the United Government! If you kill me, the United Government won't let you go!!"
Qin Siyang picked at his ear and ignored the sudden noise in it.
Wang Defa swung a punch at Du Wei's face. A mouthful of blood mixed with a broken tooth flew onto the ground.
Du Wei looked terrified, "Wang Defa, you…"
BANG!
Wang Defa slammed a punch into Du Wei's chest, pinning him against the wall.
"Du Wei, I've worked for you all these years. I've got at least some credit and hard work to my name, right?"
Du Wei's eyes flickered, "Afa…"
"You wanted to climb higher, to wipe away your old stains, and get rid of me, your dirty glove. I accepted that. After all, I made my money doing this."
"It's not like you didn't know. All these years, I never told anyone about our relationship. My wife and kids, and Ayou and Azhong, they didn't know. I didn't even tell Boss Qin. And you wanted to wipe out my whole family?"
Du Wei's sweat-soaked hair stuck to his forehead and cheeks. There was none of the calm he once had as a man in power.
His whole body wouldn't stop shaking. He looked gentle and pleading, "Brother Fa, listen to me. I had no choice! I was forced!"
"Oh? Then tell me, who forced you to kill me? If you can really name someone, I think Boss Qin would be interested too. District Chief Pan Youguang? Mayor Chen Zhongming? Governor Jonathan? Or Secretary-General Gu Weiyang?"
"It was… it was…", Du Wei's eyes darted around, trying hard to find a valuable name to take the blame.
"Stop making it up," Wang Defa patted Du Wei on the shoulder, "If you really had someone backing you, you wouldn't have been stuck for years by Cui Zhonghua, who doesn't belong to any faction, unable to move up."
Wang Defa crooked his finger behind him. Wang Deyou immediately took out a dagger and put it in his hand.
His eyes scanned the dagger. The bright blade reflected a cold light on Du Wei's face.
"Du Wei, you killed my whole family. If Boss Qin hadn't saved me, we'd have already crossed the Naihe Bridge. I didn't expect that only a few days later, our positions would be reversed. I just wonder if you'll have my luck, and get some god or Buddha to save you before you die?"
Du Wei gasped heavily. His face was already pale like it had been dusted with frost.
He knew he was going to die. He could only say to Wang Defa, "Wang Defa! For the sake of the bowl of rice I gave you, spare my family! They don't know about our relationship!"
Wang Defa smiled slightly, "That line sounds familiar."
Pfft!
"Walk a little slower on the road to the underworld. Wait for your whole family to arrive so you can go together and greet the King of Hell."
Du Wei's eyes bulged like light bulbs, and gradually his breath stopped.
The rest had only worked for Du Wei. There was nothing especially wrong with that, so they had no plan to torture them. Wang Deyou and Wang Dezhong each picked up a knife and dealt with the remaining few except Old Snake.
Wang Defa glanced at the bodies on the ground and said, "Azhong, Ayou, I remember reading on the forum that some sequence ability users can read the memories in a dead person's mind. Let's not cause trouble for Boss Qin."
"Okay."
While Wang Deyou and Wang Dezhong were busy, Wang Defa pulled Old Snake up and walked to Qin Siyang.
"Boss Qin, his name is She Haoqiang, nickname Old Snake, my sworn brother. Although he worked for Du Wei, if he hadn't given me the chance to contact you back then, I would've died long ago. So I hope you can spare his life."
As he spoke, he dropped to his knees in front of Qin Siyang with a thud, lowering his head and clasping his hands.
Qin Siyang glanced at She Haoqiang and said calmly, "Take the cloth out of his mouth and let him answer a few questions."
"Okay!"
Wang Defa removed the cloth and pressed She Haoqiang down to kneel with him, "Old Snake, whatever Boss Qin asks, you answer! Don't mess around!"
She Haoqiang's eyes were red, "Afa, thanks!"
"You saved my life. This is what I should do. But just like last time the person who decided whether I lived or died wasn't you, this time the person who decides whether you live or die isn't me either."
She Haoqiang nodded and looked up at Qin Siyang, who was sizing him up.
