He Li held a cigarette in his mouth, calmly observing the three people in the lounge area.
Tao Xue stood behind the bar, head bowed in silence.
Bai Fei was slumped over the bar, smoking in silence.
He Li couldn't see Susan's expression, but from her posture and the aura she exuded, he could tell she was suppressing a murderous intent.
"Then we'll trouble you, Madam Susan."
"Yes, Madam Susan, please."
"We'll arrange for the money to be delivered."
The three smiled obsequiously, stood up, and walked towards the door. Suddenly, they felt someone watching them. The three stopped simultaneously and looked towards the bar.
He Li looked at the three big bosses, grinned, very sunny, very bright.
The three knew that the people here were either Ling Wuzhe or异能者 (Yi Neng Zhe), and they were the ones who could eliminate demons, so they also smiled obsequiously at He Li, nodded, and then pushed the door open.
He Li's smile didn't diminish. He looked at Susan and asked softly, "Captain, can I kill them?"
No one expected He Li to say it directly. Bai Fei and Tao Xue looked at He Li in surprise.
He Li said the words with a smile, his smile bright and warm.
Susan stood up, not answering He Li. Instead, she pointed to the large sofa opposite and said, "Tell the logistics department to burn this sofa.
No!
Burn the entire set of sofas and get me new ones."
Susan walked towards her office. As she passed the bar, she stopped, looked at the smiling He Li, paused, and whispered, "Don't kill anyone."
Tap... tap... tap...
Bang!
Susan, in her high heels, returned to her office and slammed the door shut.
He Li took a puff of his cigarette, exhaled, and turned to look at Bai Fei.
"Brother Fei, what does the captain mean by 'don't kill anyone'?"
Tao Xue's eyes widened as she looked at He Li, forcing herself to calm down. She swallowed and thought, "Don't kill anyone means don't kill anyone, what else could it mean?"
This lunatic, this crazy person, he actually wanted to kill someone!
Tao Xue instinctively took two steps back, putting distance between herself and He Li.
Bai Fei glanced at He Li, then lowered his head. After a moment of silence, he said, "You know that the condition for unlocking the gene lock is to secrete dopamine to a threshold, simply put, it's to stimulate yourself, make yourself excited, and then secrete more dopamine."
He Li frowned slightly. What was Bai Fei talking about? What was he asking?
Bai Fei continued, "Dopamine can be addictive. In a way, killing... can also be addictive."
He Li nodded and said, "I see. So, Yi Neng Zhe can't kill people casually."
Bai Fei hummed in agreement.
"Understood. So, Yi Neng Zhe can't kill people casually."
He Li asked again, "Then how many years will they be sentenced?"
"I don't know."
Bai Fei shook his head and said, "In fact, they don't have any serious or substantial criminal behavior. They booked a room with their girlfriends, and then Huang Chenglu took pictures of them. If Huang Chenglu threatened them, they would also become 'victims'."
"Heh..."
He Li was amused. He crushed the cigarette butt in the ashtray, rubbed his face, and sneered, "In other words, it depends on the lawyer's skill?"
Bai Fei: "It also depends on the evidence or the testimony of those girls, testifying in court or signing..."
"Mm, I understand, Brother Fei, thanks for the explanation." He Li grinned and patted Bai Fei's shoulder, then said to Tao Xue, "Sister Xue, can you pass me that bottle of sparkling water?"
"Ah... okay."
Tao Xue handed He Li a bottle of sparkling water from the liquor shelf.
"Thank you, Sister Xue."
He Li took the sparkling water and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, sat on the long sofa he often sat on, took a sip of water, and then stared blankly at the beautiful scenery of Binjiang.
...
"Will those people prioritize eliminating the demons that killed Huang Chenglu?" asked the emaciated Lu Xiangnan with worry.
Zhang Bailin pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses. With his refined demeanor and appearance, he smiled and said, "No one would refuse money, would they? If 24 million isn't enough, then 30 million. If 30 million isn't enough, then 50 million. There will always be a number that can move them."
Feng Hui took a deep breath, rubbed his face vigorously, and then rubbed his eyebrows. "We can't place all our hopes on the Ling Guan Hui. The Yi Neng Zhe organization I hired overseas will arrive in Binjiang tonight. You two, take out another sum of money. If the Ling Guan Hui doesn't do anything, we'll do it ourselves.
You've all seen how Huang Chenglu died, and his family too. If you don't want yourselves and your families torn to shreds, don't be stingy with money.
Old Zhang is right, no one refuses money. If the people from the Ling Guan Hui don't want money, someone else will."
Lu Xiangnan's face was grim. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Money is not a problem. The most important thing is to ensure sufficient personal safety.
Also,
The information that Huang Chenglu had in his hands has all fallen into the hands of the police and various Ling Guan Hui.
We might face trial!"
"We won't," Zhang Bailin said confidently. "Even if they have the information, so what?"
"Do we have any financial transactions with Huang Chenglu?
No!
On the contrary, he secretly filmed us being intimate with our girlfriends and intended to extort us.
We are also... victims."
"You mean?" Lu Xiangnan pressed. "We are not afraid of formal legal channels?"
"That's right," Zhang Bailin laughed. "It will just be very embarrassing. Your wives might use this as leverage to divorce you and get more property division."
Lu Xiangnan and Feng Hui exchanged glances, both relieved.
Feng Hui sneered, "My wife? Do you mean that woman who lives in my house, eats my food, wears my clothes, uses my things, and only knows how to act spoiled and dress up, that vase of a woman?"
"Divorce and divide assets? Heh... she's not even worthy!"
Lu Xiangnan also sneered, "Since there are no more concerns in this regard, then it's about those female demons. Once they are dealt with, we'll be fine."
"As for those documents and videos, I'll handle them."
Zhang Bailin reminded them, "Our current stance is to avenge our friend's family, and we are unaware of those documents and videos. Even if we handle them, it will be after the incident breaks out. Although our companies will be affected, compared to losing our lives, we can bear these financial losses."
"That's right, let's do as Old Zhang said. In any case, once the Yi Neng Zhe organization arrives, let's solve the demon problem first," Feng Hui said.
Lu Xiangnan leaned back on the sofa, twisted his neck, looked at the red wine on the table, and suddenly laughed, "What do you think it feels like to turn into a dried corpse?"
Zhang Bailin and Feng Hui glanced at Lu Xiangnan and said nothing.
