Chapter 714: Deterrence

Mouse liked money. It was something like a mutual consensus among all people who knew him, and each and every one who wanted to make a deal with him also had to be ready to be butchered.

“Of course! I love money very much.” Mouse straightened up his chest said with a straight face.

“Well, it seems like I just found a really good helper for our Boss this time,” said Jin Shi with a smile. “You’re well-known as the Eyes of the Underground, excel at collecting information, and is also adept at controlling intelligence network even though your network only covers a small area like Shanghai. Also, someone who likes money can be a good financial staff. If you are able to gain our Boss’ trust, he may entrust you a heavy responsibility and hand you the key to the treasury vault.”

“Treasury vault?”

Mouse’s eyes immediately turned ablaze. A Boss who could own a treasury vault was definitely not an ordinary top dog! He really wanted jump in now, but he could not. He was used to the feeling of controlling everything. Though it was tiresome having money transferred into his account regularly at intervals, sleeping with his banknotes was what he liked the most.

He glanced to both sides while the hand that gripped the knife turned tighter as he prepared to refuse the offer the second time. He decided to use the opportunity to launch a sneak attack and then leave.

“Two Amigos, you know that getting rid of an enmity is better than keeping it, while the present society is governed under the law. This is a public place, so you would not dare to attack me here, no? Besides, this old Mouse is always prepared for both eventualities, for there will be men following me wherever I appear. Just look at that square, maybe some people will come rushing for me at any time.” Mouse smirked.

“Don’t think about scaring me, buddy.” Jin Shi grinned. “Perhaps you were still a baby when I—Jin Shi was crawling and rolling in piles of dead men. Don’t rush to refuse. Maybe you think you can run away today, but have you ever thought that our resources are better than yours since we can investigate about you, and the force behind us is not something you can imagine? Why not… just give yourself a precious escort and protection this time?”

Mouse furrowed his brows, and a solemn expression painted his monkey-like face. It was an expression he rarely showed unless he was faced with a very important choice or a critical moment.

“Who is your Boss?”

“Our Boss is a man called Tang Xiu,” said Jin Shi.

Mouse gave it a thought and immediately exclaimed, “Is it Tang Xiu, the freshman of Shanghai University, the young miracle-working doctor at Star City Chinese Medical Hospital, the secret Big Boss of the Magnificent Tang Corporation, and the offspring of the Tang Family from Beijing who was missing for many years? Are you talking about this Tang Xiu?”

“Never thought you would know so much about our Boss, buddy.” Jin Shi grinned. “Anyways, since you already know my Boss’ identity, then your second opportunity just turned critical. Pick one. Live or die, submit or refuse. Give me an answer now.”

“Answer me first.” Mouse waved his hand. “There are two things I wanna ask you. I’ll naturally pick my choice if you answer me.”

“You’re a talented guy, so I’ll give you the opportunity to ask,” said Jin Shi.

A burst of light flashed in Mouse’s eyes as he asked, “Your Boss should have another identity other than the ones I just mentioned, shouldn’t he? Is his other identity lighter or heavier than those I mentioned?”

“He does have another identity. It’s nothing you can pick on, but it’s much heavier than you think,” said Jin Shi without hesitation.

Mouse’s eyes lit up and he asked again, “Why does your Boss need intelligence on the murder that happened in Shanghai recently? You should also know that the people who can solve these problems should be from the government.”

“I don’t know much on this one. My Boss is probably bored and has nothing to do, and wants to find something to kill the time. Or maybe because he feels compassionate toward the people and doesn’t want to see more victims. Anyhow, you already got your two questions. Now it’s time to give me your answer.”

“I just had a change in mind all of a sudden and want to ask you another question. What kind of treatment can I get if I join you?” Asked Mouse hastily.

“I dunno. It’s Boss who can answer that.” Jin Shi shook his head.

Mouse rolled his eyes and released the knife in his pocket. He then stood up, stretched his body comfortably, and then said with a smile, “Well, I gotta say that I don’t wanna die, so I choose to join you. As a token of my joining, I’ll hand over the information on these murder cases to you… Umm, no, to your Boss. Let’s go, then! Take me to him now!”

Jin Shi nodded. He was not afraid that Mouse would take back his words and neither was he afraid that this guy would run in midway. The prey he aimed at was never able to escape from his grasp even if they had wings on them.

A few minutes later, as Jin Shi’s group left with Mouse, a young man with yellow bleached hair and wearing a very ordinary attire followed them. The guy was called Chen Yangfan, a member of the Phantom Special Combat Squad and also an excellent scout. His task was to track Mouse and figure out where his nest was.

“Strange. Where the hell did these two fellas come out? What purpose they have for taking Mouse away with them?” Chen Yangfan thought in silent as he touched his chin while looking at the car in front.

Half an hour later.
