Li Xiuying returned to her bed and resumed reading the report.

The man that Li Xiuying referred to as face scar, was nicknamed Bandit, legal name Wan Ping.

Wan Ping's father was a massive gambler; he had taken out numerous loans to fund his addiction. There were numerous debt collectors hounding Wan Ping's father; some even resorting to violence. In order to escape the threat of the loan sharks; one night Wan Ping's parents fled the city, never to be seen again. They had left Wan Ping behind.

Wan Ping was subsequently taken in by the local orphanage.

At the age of 12; he started mixing with the local small-time hoodlums and thus began his life of crime. Wan Ping primarily stole; his repertoire included everything from pick pocketing to burglary. He would steal anything that wasn't nailed down and could fetch a price if sold.

Wan Ping met Deng Bojing when he was 15 years old. Wan Ping was fleeing from the scene of a burglary that had gone wrong and Deng Bojing who was driving past had helped him escape.

Since that encounter Wan Ping became a Deng Bojing's shadow. Deng Bojing was the organ grinder and Wan Ping became his monkey. Wan Ping would do anything Deng Bojing ordered without question.

So naturally when Deng Bojing joined Phantoms, Wan Ping followed.

Wan Ping continued to follow behind Deng Bojing like a lost puppy. Wan Ping ended up living with Deng Bojing.. Due to the fact they were always in each other's company as well as Wan Ping's unwavering loyalty and total obedience; numerous rumors started circulating within the Phantoms about their relationship being of more intimate in nature. However, there was never any evidence to support these claims.

Deng Bojing started removing the tongues of anyone he heard speaking about him; the rumors soon completely disappeared within the Phantoms.

However at a meeting between the syndicates, there were whispers questioning Deng Bojing's and Wan Ping's sexuality. Deng Bojing used a razor to slice across Wan Ping's face; resulting in him being permanently disfigured. No one questioned Deng Bojing again.

Even after this incident; Wan Ping continued to follow Deng Bojing.

Li Xiuying quirked an eyebrow at the information; Wan Ping's loyalty will be hard to break.

Li Xiuying skimmed through the next few pages which detailed Wan Ping's list of crimes. From the timeline of the crimes it was clear that Wan Ping had only started his life of violent crime after meeting Deng Bojing.

Wan Ping's first kill was the 11 year old son of a rival gang member, Leung Chi.

Leung Chi and Deng Bojing had got into a minor scuffle at a bar. Deng Bojing then tracked down Leung Chi's details included his address and ordered Wan Ping to kill the young boy. Wan Ping slit the boy's throat while the boy was sleeping in his bed. he did this all under the watchful eye of Deng Bojing.

Li Xiuying put Wan Ping's details back into the envelope.

She then looked at the next head shot. It was of the long haired man with red contacts.

Li Xiuying continued to read.
