Chapter 135 - Scooped Up a Corpse? (1/2)

(Continuation of assassination scene from the end of previous chapter. This is a little recap for those of you who read my first novel ;)~ I shortened the details too hahahahaha since it's a novel for Susu and Chen Mu, let's give em the spotlight they deserve :3)

The high-pitched whistling and cringe alerting voice sent chills down the young lady's spine. The assassin approached step by step towards her hiding spot.

BAM!

”Game over, little kitten. Come out now if you want a less painful death!” The murderous vibe that he emitted was sickening. His deep yellow teeth with obvious layers of gross leftover food from years of poor hygiene were revealed as he creepily spread his lips; forming a smile. The breaths that he huffed from his mouth contaminated the air in the feces scented bathroom.

She clung on to the metal pipes that were located close to the ceiling. Her petite body had fit in the space between the metal bar pipes and ceiling, securing her hiding position. As the assassin swung his metallic bat sideways, his bloodshot red eyes wandered left and right to make sure that there was no room for her to escape.

One by one, the restroom stalls were kicked opened using his foot. His craving for a rotting iron stench and an atrocious splatter of red liquid walls increased as he narrowed it down to the last stall.

Before smashing down the last door to that stall, he said, ”Tsk, tsk, tsk. Let's see. Shall I give you a free plastic surgery when I see you? Perhaps, skinning you alive and making your smooth skin into a hat? Then chopping your fingers and toes to form a necklace. Then stab your eyes and sew those lips shut!”

After a countdown, he knocked down the last door to find nothing but a clogged toilet with many spiders and roaches floated in it. He had cursed out loud before he headed for the door. Suddenly, a thought popped up in his mind as he turned around and stared up at the ceiling.

”Found you, kitten.” He licked the corner of his lips. Her blood froze and mind went blank when her eyes met his.

- Middle of the ocean -

Under the starry night, Zhi Hei stood still with an expressionless face as he watched his personal assistant, Shen Qi, torture the spies that were sent by Professor Luo Xia's secret group. After managing Huang Corps for a long enough time, he has taken out many opponents legally and fairly.

He despised those who had arms and legs, yet uses sly methods to win projects and disclose corporate confidential information. Since months ago, he had been trying to track down the suspicious activities that went on in his company.

Normally, he would ignore how others perform business as long as they didn't involve Huang Corps in it. Unfortunately, they chose the wrong person to mess with. Since a few months ago, companies had somehow retrieved information about the upcoming partnership projects and bidding prices that Huang Corps had decided on.

During that time, he was away on a business trip and happened to bump into Professor Luo Xia. In the past, the elderly man gave him professional advice and had helped improve his management approach for his company. His advices always resulted in positive outcomes and the elderly man had never accepted any type of compensation.

After seeing his rather distressed expression, Professor Luo Xia asked him about his worries, and he didn't hesitate in telling him about the leaked information.

Professor Luo Xia suggested him to pause on all projects and deal with the most important ones secretly. While dealing with the projects secretly, Zhi Hei also allowed Ariana, the expert acquaintance that Professor Luo Xia had recommended to access every connection to Huang Corps' technology.

Ariana may look like a simple housewife on the outside, but she was an expert in coding programs and completing impossible tasks from the shady side of the underground market.

Although she performed and completed her tasks on time, she chose the ones that she believed was right. Never had she harmed anyone who didn't deserve the Karma. Since she was one of the best candidates for jobs in the underground market, everyone respected her wherever she went.

Since she had received Professor Luo Xia's request, she created a program specifically for Huang Corps. In order to make sure she traced down the right people, she ran multiple tests in these months. Finally, she could finalize the list of spies and hand it over.

Amongst the few spies, only two survived this far to meet Zhi Hei and face their final judgements. Being confronted on the spot, the two spies trembled vigorously while kneeling on the floor. One of them already soiled his pants and the real torture hadn't even begun yet.
