31: Money makes the world go round
"Want to eat together?"
Seeing Chen Ming eating dinner calmly, and not only not being afraid when he saw her pull out a knife, but even inviting her to eat dinner together.
The two killers furrowed their brows even tighter; it was the first time they had seen such a situation.
Anyone with a discerning eye should be able to tell that she wasn't a waiter, right?
"That guy gave you five hundred thousand each to take my life?"
Chen Ming's next sentence made the two of them extremely fearful.
Logically speaking, the mission was confidential, so how did Chen Ming know, and in such detail?
"Could it be that you are also someone from the circle?" a male killer tentatively asked.
At the same time, he became wary of his surroundings, worried that this was a trap.
In other rooms, perhaps a large number of thugs were already lying in ambush.
"No, but I have my own methods." Chen Ming put down his chopsticks and took a sip of whiskey to rinse his mouth.
He continued, "I won't beat around the bush with you either. I'll give you five million each. Whatever he wanted you to do to me, you do to him, how about that?"
Money was just waste paper to Chen Ming now; no matter how much he spent, it would be returned tenfold.
Of course, Chen Ming could kill Chairman Dai himself; He was fully capable of it.
However, on the one hand, he didn't want to waste the effort.
On the other hand, the world hadn't completely fallen into chaos yet, and the order of Great Xia hadn't completely collapsed. He didn't want to invite trouble.
Being targeted by law enforcement for a small character like Chairman Dai was not worth it, no matter how he thought about it.
"There are rules within the circle. If we do this, who will dare to use us in the future?" The male killer was still struggling.
The female killer next to him heard this and hesitated, her eyes showing guilt.
"In that case, I'll add another five million each as compensation for your reputation." Chen Ming generously held up five fingers.
"We are willing to go through fire and water for Mr.!" The male killer bowed deeply without thinking.
The female killer followed suit.
Then, Chen Ming took out his phone and swiped twice on the screen.
【Successfully gifted ten million! Tenfold return has been triggered. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining one hundred million da xia coin!】
【Successfully gifted ten million! Tenfold return has been triggered. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining one hundred million da xia coin!】
Buzz buzz buzz!
The phones of the two killers rang at the same time.
They picked them up to see a text message, a bank transfer, exactly ten million, no more, no less.
However, at this moment, compared to joy and excitement, what they felt more in their hearts was fear.
Because they had never told Chen Ming their bank account numbers.
Chen Ming didn't plan to continue talking nonsense with them, and waved his hand, "Hurry up and carry out the mission, lest there be complications if we delay."
"Yes!" The two replied in unison, left the hotel room, and gently closed the door.
After walking a dozen steps and confirming that Chen Ming couldn't hear their conversation, the woman let out a rough breath, "We just met for the first time, how did he know my bank account number?"
"I don't know, but I can be sure that this Man is not someone we can mess with." The male killer also held his chest and gasped for air.
"Speaking of which, where should we investigate now? The underground website strictly keeps the identity information of the bounty setters confidential, right?" The female killer said with difficulty.
Before the male killer could speak, the text message notification sound rang again.
It was an anonymous text message, showing the hotel room number.
"..." The killers exchanged glances, everything was understood without words.
On the other side.
Chairman Dai in the hotel room was already completely drunk.
He picked up his phone and kept refreshing the webpage, "Those two useless people, why has it been so long and there's still no news?"
"Could it be that the mission failed and they ran off with my money?" As he spoke, he let out an extremely foul-smelling alcoholic burp.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The next second, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.
"Who is it!" Chairman Dai shouted.
He picked up the remote control next to him and pressed the voice call button.
Not working?
He realized he had picked up the wrong one, the TV remote control, and quickly swapped it.
Then, a woman's voice came through, "The boss is worried about your health and asked us to bring you hangover soup."
"Okay, I understand." He ended the call.
The corner of Chairman Dai's mouth curved up slightly. Since he was going to die anyway, he might as well have some fun before he went.
Coincidentally, Chairman Dai wanted to experience what it would be like to be above the law and force someone.
He staggered over and opened the door.
Just as he was about to speak, he was shocked speechless by something in front of him.
His drunkenness instantly cleared up quite a bit.
A handgun was pointed directly at him!
"Who, who are you? Who sent you?"
The two did not answer, forced Chairman Dai into the room with the gun, and then closed the door.
"Boss, I'm sorry, Man die for wealth just as birds die for food. We are unable to carry out your mission," the Man said.
"Mission? Unable to carry out?" Chairman Dai's eyes widened, as if he had thought of something, "Wait! You, you couldn't be the two killers who accepted my mission, could you!"
Seeing that the two did not deny it, Chairman Dai said furiously, "You, how could you do this? Do you have any professional ethics at all! If this gets out, who will dare to hire you for missions? You're actually double-crossing!"
"I said, Man die for wealth, birds die for food."
Chairman Dai reacted and asked, "How much did he give you? I'll pay double!"
He spoke without thinking. Only when he was truly on the verge of death did he realize how intensely he desired to live.
"Ten million, ten million each." The male killer was waiting for this sentence from Chairman Dai.
"Ten million each!" Chairman Dai said in surprise.
Where was he going to find forty million to give to these two killers, twice the amount?
Borrow from his older brother?
Let alone forty million, even four million, or four hundred thousand, Chairman Dai didn't think he could successfully borrow it.
Forty thousand might be possible with difficulty, four thousand they might consider.
After all, Chairman Dai had just promised him not long ago that it would be the last time he borrowed money, only this one million, and he would never ask him for money again in the future.
Seeing Chairman Dai's predicament, the male killer gave a look.
The female killer immediately swung her arm, a cold flash, very clean, and slit Chairman Dai's throat.
"Er ah!!"
Puchi! Puchi! Puchi...
Chairman Dai clutched his throat tightly with his fingers, but couldn't stop the blood from spurting out in gushes.
He raised his hand, pointing at the male and female killers, his eyes full of resentment, but unable to make a single sound.
He stumbled backward step by step, fell to the ground with a bang, and completely lost all signs of life.
"Hurry up and get it done." The male killer put away his gun and took out a folding saw from his bag.
The female killer took out a pig-slaughtering bone cleaver.
"This thing of yours is quite fierce," the male killer chuckled.
He was really afraid that this woman would suddenly give him a knife and kill him for his treasures.
A few more minutes passed.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Chen Ming received a text message notification.
He picked up his phone; it was an anonymous text message.
The content of the message was very simple, just a photo.
However, the content in the photo was unusually complex.
Internal organs, limbs, torso, head... everything was there!
