"Why not just talk it out and come to a conclusion? What's the difference between giving him an answer today or tomorrow? It's just one night's difference, why bother and have to make another trip!" Alei said.
"What?" she said, "We need to consider it carefully. If Shaw DeBang is really that Death-Defying, maybe keeping him around would bring us more benefits from dealing with him! But if we take his money, we have to keep him informed, and then Shaw DeBang will leave us!"
"What are you really worried about? Are you really willing to live under the same roof with such a person? If he finds out that he was arrested because of you, he will definitely kill you! It's too terrifying!"
"But I just feel..." Xiao Hei Mei continued to follow her own thoughts.
"You still do as he says," Alai interjected, "This gentleman gives a good impression. Just do as he says. They are trying to rid society of harm, which is a good thing. How can someone who has done wrong escape punishment and not face the law? Even if he's talking about loyalty, evil cannot suppress righteousness."
"Alright, stop talking. Let me have some peace and quiet!" She really hated that he never stopped talking about things, and if not, he would bring up anything related.
Xiao Hei Mei increased her pace, it seems she is in a hurry to get back to Yi Hao Apartment, and the two of them parted ways here.
At night, she was still pondering over everything that had happened unexpectedly during the day. She didn't understand how they found her to do this, and she was a bit undecided. The fact that she was short of money and had no job to do was a reality. Xiao Hei Mei thought that Shaw DeBang was like a time bomb, it could explode at any time.
One second ago, she still wanted to be a good person. She believed in Shaw DeBang's sense of righteousness and was planning to inform him and urge him to escape overnight. The next second, she changed her mind. She decided to hand over this hard laborer and could still receive a reward and a decent job for herself.
"Death-Defying came here and put on the disguise of a gentleman, pretending to be a law-abiding ordinary person in Paris, living in an ordinary apartment. In fact, he is a very shrewd and capable person who has deceived everyone. By exposing him, I have done a good deed. I should do this!"
Xiao Hei Mei thought about it over and over again during the night, and the result was to cooperate with Charles to capture Death-Defying. The next day, she went to the address on the note to discuss this matter.
With the accompaniment of Alai, she found the address mentioned by Charles, but they were received by someone else. After a clear conversation, Xiao Hei Mei asked her to verify the drug for the convict. Seeing the satisfied expression on the other party's face, she knew that this operation was not just about capturing a person. They might be more concerned about seizing the assets from Death-Defying. Poor Shaw DeBang, his prison brothers betrayed him, otherwise how could such an important clue appear!
"What exactly are your plans?"
"You just need to do what you're supposed to do, verify his identity and report to us as soon as possible, then we can arrange our actions!"
"I mean, nothing unexpected will happen, right? I don't want that, otherwise I will become his scapegoat!"
"If he tries to play us," he continued, "we also have ways to deal with such tough guys. As long as they resist a little during the arrest, we can just shoot them on the spot. This saves the trouble of prosecution, summoning witnesses, and carrying out the punishment. To be honest, the cost of doing it this way far exceeds the three thousand francs we gave you!"
"Let's hope everything goes smoothly!"
The situation was quite a coincidence. At noon today, Mrs. Marina prepared a table of food and said she wanted to treat all the tenants to a meal for a discussion. It turned out to be good news - under the condition that the rent remains unchanged, an extra dish will be added to the meals for everyone.
If I had been there at the time, I would not have been surprised, because I had known about this news for a long time. Zhangjian had instructed this a long time ago. I don't know what Mrs. Marina was thinking, announcing this now. If I had heard it, I would definitely not be happy, but they were different. They were all as happy as can be.
Mrs. Marina The prepared red wine was not enough for these people to drink. They all got drunk, except for Shaw DeBang, who remained sober. Later, he bought more wine for everyone out of his own pocket, making everyone happy. They all staggered back to their rooms to rest, but he sat in the hall motionless, lost in thought.
As the sun set, Yi Hao Apartment became extremely quiet because everyone was drunk. This was our chance. When Shaw DeBang got up to go to the bathroom, Xiao Hei Mei dripped a few drops of a drug into his coffee cup, then left and secretly watched him from a hiding place.
Shaw DeBang sat back in his original seat, picked up the cup of coffee with the added potion, and drank it in one gulp.
After about ten minutes, Xiao Hei Mei went downstairs, intending to chat with him.
"They are all drunk, why aren't you drunk! Or are you pretending, you didn't drink at all!" Shaw DeBang smiled without saying a word. At this moment, the medicine in his stomach began to take effect.
However, the fugitive, who was strong, actually stood up and stared at her sternly, as if he was about to say something loudly. But before he could speak, he fell straight down and fainted.
"Stroke! Fainted! Quick, everyone come and help!" Xiao Hei Mei shouted loudly, looking to see if anyone was still awake.
No one came out, and it was Alai who ran out.
They both struggled to carry Shaw DeBang upstairs to his room and placed him on his bed, observing his every move.
"It seems like he doesn't know anything. Hurry to the door and keep an eye out for people," Xiao Hei Mei instructed Alai. With Alai's help, she had already unbuttoned Shaw DeBang's clothes.
"No one is coming up, right? Come over here quickly, help me turn him over, and take off his shirt! Don't just stand there motionless!" she said to Alai.
"Okay, now go back to the door and keep watch," she said again.
Shaw DeBang was flipped over, and Xiao Hei Mei landed a punch on his left chest, immediately leaving two clear letters on the bloody flesh.
"How is it? Is it there?" A'Lei asked quietly.
"You can see for yourself!"
"It looks like you easily earned a reward of three thousand franc!"
Alai helped him up, and Xiao Hei Mei helped him put on his shirt again.
"We can collect the reward money now!"
