  "It's okay." Actually, I was sweating in the palm of my hand, and just now I almost couldn't even hold onto the phone.

  "Not bad, not bad, slowly growing up." Yuan Shao said: "Haozi, remember, we are absolutely not good people. To be honest, if the target of today's move was not a child, but an adult, I would dare to cut off one of his fingers."

  I recall that time when Yuan Shao lightly and casually stabbed a small knife into Mai Zi's abdomen, not doubting the truth of his words at all.

  "Yes, we are not good people." Zhang Beichen said: "Since we have embarked on this path, we must be ruthless enough to stand firm. This is our experience of lurking in the vocational school for more than a year. Only by being more evil than others can we make others fear us."

  I nodded, taking their words to heart. But Ushiro Hiro said, "Haozi is different from us. We can be a jerk anytime, but Haozi can't. Even if he wants to be a jerk, he's still a kind-hearted one."

  After a while, I called the woman's home again. This time, the one who answered the phone was a man, probably the woman's husband. "Friends, we really can't remember where we offended you," the man said: "To be honest, I've also been in jail before, maybe we're on the same road. So I absolutely won't report you, just please don't say what you want, just beg of you not to hurt the child, after all, the child is innocent!"

  I covered the receiver and said: "Brother Yu, he said he had taken a taxi."

  "It's nothing, he was just trying to scare you, go on."

  "Stop talking nonsense." I said fiercely: "Can't you remember doing anything wrong?"

  "I really can't remember!" Although this man was much more calm than Zhang Xueying, his tone still couldn't help but reveal a few hints of anxiety.

  "What about the things at her workplace? Think carefully, what has she done with a guilty conscience?"

  "Ah, I see!" The man suddenly realized: "It was that thing! Frankly speaking, my friend, I also think Xueying went too far. These past few days, I've been persuading her to testify in court. Otherwise, she'll be haunted by guilt for the rest of her life!"

  "Hmm." I think this man is not bad, so I said: "Okay, let's get the wife to go to the procuratorate as soon as possible. Once this matter is over, I will release my son. Since you have also been a prisoner, you should know that people like us can do anything!"

  "Friend, friend!" the man shouted repeatedly: "I just saw my son's fingers. I want to know how he is now? Please send him to the hospital as soon as possible, lest he loses too much blood..."

  "Don't worry!" I interrupted him and said: "As long as you cooperate well on your side, don't play any tricks, our son will be fine."

  After I finished speaking, I was about to hang up the phone, but the other end shouted loudly again: "Friend, friend, wait a little longer!"

  "What?" I said impatiently, faintly hearing the woman's loud wailing on the phone.

  "Friend, my wife is now mentally collapsing. Can you please return my son first? I guarantee that my wife will definitely go to the procuratorate to testify. We will never report to the police afterwards, otherwise heaven and earth will be destroyed!" The man said solemnly: "Friend, I can give you all the money at home, as long as my son can come back, it's okay. Just consider it a mortgage, and return the money to me after things are done. Of course, if you don't return my money, that's also fine..."

  I admit I've softened a bit, this man is pitifully begging me, mixed with the sound of that woman's sobbing.

  Being a scary villain seems easy, but it's actually quite painful in the heart.

  "Wait for the phone call!" I said with feigned impatience: "One last warning, dare to play tricks and nine fingers will be offered up!"

  With a "bang", I hung up the phone and felt like I was drenched in sweat all over, as if I had just fought a fierce battle.

  "How is it?" Ushiro Hiroto asked me.

  I told him what the man meant and then asked: "What to do? The woman seems to have really gone mad, if we don't return her son, who knows what will happen..."

  "What's your take?" Ushiro asked again. He was determined to make me take responsibility for this matter.

  "I think we can go back now." I said: "They are just ordinary people, and they have already been taught a lesson. In their hearts, we are the most heinous villains, so they dare not play tricks again. Moreover, that man also said that he is willing to take out the money from his family as collateral until the matter is settled."

  "Haha, that man is really an idiot." Yuan Shao said: "Since we've taken his money, of course we won't return it."

  "That man also said that, it's okay if the money is not returned, as long as their son is returned to them now. They promised not to report to the police. But I think, since they are so sincere, we should also keep our promise and return the money later."

  "So you're saying you've already prepared to send the child back?" Ushiro Hiroto looked at me.

  "Yes." I nodded. It's really unbearable, since the goal has been achieved, there is no need to continue.

  "If I go up to the door, who will be waiting for me?" Ushiro's tone turned cold.

  I drew in a breath of cool air, and my back shuddered: "It shouldn't... be, right? They wouldn't dare."

  "If there's even a 1% chance of failure, it's not worth taking the risk." Ushiro Hiro said: "However, I've already said that this incident was orchestrated by the mastermind, and I'm just providing some suggestions according to their intentions."

  "Rat." Yuan Shao also said: "I don't suggest going either, since we've decided to be bad guys, we must be bad all the way, and never soften our hearts. Moreover, we haven't done anything to the child, and taking the child to an amusement park to play is already being very kind and just, there's no need to feel uneasy or guilty."

  I didn't say a word. I leaned against the phone booth, closed my eyes, and in my mind was Chen Xiaohang's lovely face. He said: "Brother, I think he is a good person, so I followed him out." This is a child's trust in me; The woman's heart-wrenching cry on the phone, this is the desperate wail of a mother; The man's bitter pleading voice on the phone, this is the dignity of a father laid down. And all of this was caused by me, this evil person.

  A sharp pain pierced through my heart, I don't know if I can be a bad person in the future, but I know it's not possible today.

  "Brother Yu." I said: "I'll go. We'll first go to the playground and watch the kids, in case I really have bad luck and went to that household, if what welcomes me is a pile of **. Then we'll quickly let that kid go, and I absolutely won't expose you guys who are providing for me. If they truly sincerely want to cooperate, then I'll make a phone call and send the kid over."

  Yuanshao sighed and turned around, gazing at the passing vehicles on the road; Zhang Beichen shook his head and closed his eyes; Meng Liang looked up at the sky, taking great interest in a few sparrows perched on the power lines. Yuge patted my shoulder: "In a team, the judgment of the white paper fan is especially important, sometimes it can decide the life or death of the team. Since I consider you as my white paper fan, I will definitely believe your judgment. Go, I'll wait for your call."

  "Brother Yu, thank you for your trust." I let out a sigh of relief, with a heart full of emotion.

  Brother Yu punched me in the chest: "How many times have I told you, we don't say thank you to each other!"

  "Right, right, right." Yuan Shao said with his back to us, "Tell this guy thank you, he'll bite like a mad dog." Yuchen Fei kicked him in the butt without hesitation: "Who are you cursing, no respect for elders?"

  Yuanshao covered his butt and chuckled, as if being kicked by Yuchengfei was a particularly glorious thing. Zhang Beichen watched this scene, took out a cigarette from his pocket, but before he could light it up, Yuchengfei and Yuanshao rushed over together to rob him.

  "We don't have any!" Zhang Beichen cursed loudly. Meng Liang saw the situation and quietly moved the cigarettes from his back pocket to his inner shirt pocket. Unfortunately, he was a bit slow, and was pressed to the ground by Yu Chengfei, Yuan Shao, and Zhang Beichen, who took away the only half box of cigarettes he had.

  "I'm dying!" Meng Liang wailed: "Every day you just know how to grab my cigarettes and smoke them!"

  These people, when they get going, are like a bunch of kids, rolling around on the ground without a care in the world. Who would have thought that after all these years, they would grow up to be one of the most powerful forces in this city? And who would have thought that after all these years, these legendary figures, who had created countless legends, would end up dead, injured, escaped, or retired... but their spirit has never disappeared.

  Heaven gave them a brilliant life like kings, and then ruthlessly trampled them underfoot.

  Is fate already sealed at some point?

  I called Zhang Xueying's home again and told the man that I would be right over. The man thanked me profusely and repeatedly promised not to report it, and was now preparing the money at home for me. The van took me back to Zhang Xueying's neighborhood, but Yu Chengfei didn't rush to let me off, instead having the van circle around the neighborhood a couple of times to make sure there were no suspicious circumstances before stopping several hundred meters away from Zhang Xueying's home.

  I really admire Ushiro's meticulous thinking and feel that there is still a lot to learn. After getting off the bus, I slowly walked towards Zhang Xueying's house, pretending to be carefree while carefully observing the movements in the neighborhood. Everything was peaceful and harmonious, with dog-walking grandpas, loving couples, and chatting aunties... without any hint of abnormality.

  But who knows? Maybe after I knock on Zhang Xueying's door, I'll be knocked to the ground by a group of real guns and live ammunition.

  I'm betting on myself, betting on my ability to read people, betting on my grasp of human nature.

  This gamble is so dangerous it could land me back in prison again.

  =================================================

  The last few chapters are a bit cruel, on the road to mix, hanging their heads in their waists, licking life on the knife's edge, and making some sacrifices, it won't always be smooth sailing. Spoiled some future situations, someone may not feel good about it. However, I can guarantee that none of the main characters will come to harm (although someone might end up in jail), and this book's ending is not a tragedy, but a grand reunion finale, so everyone can rest assured and keep reading.
