Hearing what I said, this man was obviously relieved. If I could provide him with conditions, it would be great if he could live.
"I don't want to die, I choose to work for you!" the man said without thinking.
"very good!"
I smiled and stared at the bones on the ground, "Get rid of these things. I don't want there to be any traces. Can you do it?"
The black-faced man looked at his companion's pale bones, still horrified in his eyes.
"Yes, there is a stove in the back. If you throw it in and burn it, there will definitely be no traces!" he said.
I stared at him, "Aren't you sad at all when your companion dies?"
A flash of panic flashed across his face, and he naturally understood what I meant, and said quickly: "Don't worry, he and I don't have the kind of relationship you think. I promise, I will never tell anyone about what happened today!"
I stared at him coldly until sweat began to form on his forehead, and then I nodded slightly.
"If one day I find out that you lied to me, I guarantee you will end up exactly like him!"
His body trembled and he quickly said, "Don't dare!"
I hummed and stood up. He quickly started to collect the bones on the ground, and then walked to an iron door at the back of the room to dispose of the bones.
I followed him and watched helplessly as he threw all the bones of his companions into the coal-burning furnace behind.
It wasn't until these bones could no longer be taken out that I took this opportunity to open the iron door and ran outside.
A mouthful of cold air was sucked into my lungs. I could no longer suppress the churning feeling in my stomach and spit it out.
I have never killed anyone, and I have never thought about killing someone. Even if I have experienced death scenes like Li Wenfeng's, I am not as shocked as I am today.
It feels really bad to watch a living person being eaten away by thousands of insects until only the bones are left!
But the situation just now was very critical. Either I died or he died. Although I felt strongly uncomfortable, at least I was still alive now.
…………
The snowflakes outside were falling bigger than before, and the ground was already covered with a thick layer. At first glance, there was a vast expanse of white everywhere.
I calmed down outside for a while, until I felt that I no longer felt so uncomfortable, and then I turned around and returned to the house.
The black-faced middle-aged man had already processed the bones of his companions, and the few blood on the ground had been washed away by him with water, and all traces had been cleaned up by him.
He stood there a little uneasily, looking at me fearfully, waiting for my next instructions.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"Zhang Jian!" he replied quickly.
"Hey, so we are still the same family!"
He smiled a little forcedly, his expression slightly relaxed.
I looked at his fearful look and knew that if I wanted to completely control this person, just bringing him despair would not work. Who knows if he would do anything desperate, so I had to give them a little hope.
Thinking of this, I said: "Don't be too afraid. Although these bugs are in your body, as long as I don't activate them, they won't hurt you."
He quickly looked at me with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
"So, just do your best to serve me, and when I think it's okay, I will get rid of these poisonous insects for you."
"Really?" He suddenly felt hopeful.
"I'm neither a murderer nor a kidnapper. If you hadn't kidnapped me, would I have ended up like this?" I looked at him with a sneer.
Seeing that he was silent, I turned on the recording on my phone and put it on the table.
"Are you really working for Li Wenlong?" I asked.
"yes!"
"Is he a thug? I don't think so!" I sneered.
"We work for him, but we are not the people he supports. We are another organization." Zhang Jian said.
"Another organization, what organization? What's its name?" My heart moved and I became interested.
"This, I, I can't say." Zhang Jian rejected my question without hesitation.
I couldn't help but be slightly startled, "Even now, you still haven't confessed honestly. Do you want to die?"
"No, no, no, I don't want to die. It's not that I don't want to say it, but I can't say it, and I don't dare to say it. Please let me go. Except for this question, I can answer you for everything else." Zhang Jian said quickly.
.
"Why can't you tell me?"
"Once I betray the organization, my family members will be killed by them. I beg you, please let my family go!"
Zhang Jian fell to his knees on the ground with a plop, and a grown man cried nervously.
I looked at him and knew he was not lying. I breathed a long sigh of relief and let him get up.
"Li Wenlong is also a member of your organization?" I asked.
Zhang Jian hesitated for a moment, perhaps knowing that it was impossible not to reveal anything, so he could only grit his teeth and said: "He is not from our organization, but our organization specializes in working for rich people, especially people with power and status.
They are all the ones we serve!”
"Then what's your position in the organization?" I was a little curious.
"Me? I'm just a peripheral member. To put it bluntly, I specialize in the lowest level things."
"Where's the one who died just now?" I asked again.
"He is my superior. It is said that he is a core member of the periphery. He used to be a mercenary abroad and is much better than me!" Zhang Jiandao.
"So, it seems that your organization is not simple. Such a powerful person is just a peripheral member!" I was surprised.
Zhang Jian hesitated for a moment and asked with some anxiety, "Can I ask you something?"
I was slightly stunned, but I didn't expect that he would ask me something else.
"Just ask!"
Zhang Jian breathed a sigh of relief, "Are you a member of Xuanmen?"
Zhang Jian looked at me nervously.
I was a little surprised, I didn't expect him to know this, so I nodded, "I guess, why do you ask that?"
Zhang Jian's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this: "There's something I don't know whether it's true or not. I heard that the real core personnel in the organization are just like you. They are all members of the Taoist sect, and they are all very scary people."
"What did you say?" I was really surprised now.
"I've heard about it too, but I don't know if it's true or not!" Zhang Jiandao.
I nodded. It seemed that this matter was not as simple as I thought. Li Wenlong was probably not the only one who wanted to cause trouble for me.
There must be a bigger driving force behind this!
It suddenly occurred to me that my grandpa had told me that there were enemies of our Zhang family in the north. Could this have something to do with it?
Thinking about it this way, I feel that nine out of ten times it is true.
But when I asked Zhang Jian again, he didn't know any more.
"Where's Li Wenlong? Why didn't he come? What was his purpose?" I returned the question to Li Wenlong.
"He went back, and he should have settled matters at home. According to the plan, let us interrogate you about his family first, and he will bring you to the bureau later." Zhang Jiandao.
I nodded. It was pretty much what I imagined. It was impossible for Li Wenlong to use these people to kill me. After all, I am the Hu family's uncle. Hu Qiu also witnessed him arresting people, so he didn't dare to blatantly harm others!
It seems that if I want to know more, I need to meet him in person.
