The response from Dan caught me off guard. He simply stated eight words: "He is a bit stronger than me."
These words struck my mind like an arrow, causing a brief short circuit in my thoughts. Hu Yao is stronger than Dan? Dan has the most inhuman strength I’ve ever seen; how could Hu Yao surpass that?
Damn, just thinking about it sends chills down my spine. I had even fought him before, naively believing I could hold my own against him. But this was no contest; it was clear he had been holding back. If he hadn’t, I wouldn’t have survived even ten encounters with him.
With that thought in mind, I simply hummed in acknowledgment, took the knife handed to me, and swiftly plunged it into Zhou Gang's neck. Blood gushed out instantly, splattering onto the ceiling and my face!
Now, with Zhou Gang and Zhou Father lying before me as two cold corpses, I felt no remorse; instead, a sense of relief washed over me.
"Xiao Zhao, go wash up. We’ll clean this up. There’s an extra set of clothes here and this special shower gel. Make sure to use it when you shower, and use our towels too. Once you’re done, we’ll burn your clothes and towels, and thoroughly clean the bathroom to leave no evidence behind."
Listening to Dan’s meticulous arrangements, I once again marveled at Old Zhao's incredible methods.
When I finished showering and changed clothes, the living room was spotless—there wasn’t a trace of blood anywhere! Everything looked exactly as it had when I first walked in.
What about the bodies?
"We had someone take them back to West City District. Only there can we handle the bodies without raising suspicion."
Looking at the scene before me, I felt no guilt at all; rather, Dan’s handling of everything gave me a sense of security.
"Good job, brothers. Is everything taken care of?"
"All done, Xiao Zhao."
"Oh right, what about that lawyer?"
"The lawyer is currently on his way to West City District. By the way, the bullets you fired earlier at the door have been collected. We plan to keep him locked up for half a month. If he hasn’t completely forgotten about this by then, we won’t be able to trust what you say anymore, Xiao Zhao. We’ll have to eliminate him!"
Better to eliminate one than risk having one too many; keeping him around is like having a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment—not out of fear of his explosion but rather the catastrophic consequences it could bring at the most critical time.
Since we’ve decided to do this, why not be more ruthless? It’s better to completely eradicate any potential threats than leave any loose ends for others to exploit.
Thinking of this, I immediately spoke up to extinguish any potential trouble. "Let's go downstairs to the supermarket. I'll treat everyone to a good cigarette and a bottle of fine liquor."
Once we arrived at the supermarket, I bought a pack of good cigarettes for each of my brothers and a bottle of Maozi for each person. With thirty of us, that amounted to one thousand for the cigarettes and two thousand for the liquor, totaling less than one hundred thousand. Given my savings of twenty-five million, this amount was nothing.
However, when I went to pay, I took out my phone to scan the code, only to find that my bank account balance was insufficient! I had been locked in the Small Black Room. Many previous chapters had been requested for revision, and it was also possible that they would directly change from one year to another. If they wanted to lock me up, so be it; I would keep updating daily regardless.
