Chapter 210: Tomorrow I Will Make Him Die

Wang Cong struggled to suppress the nervousness and fear within him; at first his words stammered, but as his narration deepened, his tone gradually became increasingly fluent.

Meanwhile, Qian Huan's face gradually revealed an expression of increasing astonishment and strangeness.

Half an hour later, Wang Cong stepped out of the Warden's Office with an indescribable strangeness and heaviness in his expression.

He stood at the gate for a full two full minutes, as if digesting everything that had just happened, then clenched his fist, passed through the laser corridor, returned to Section A, and went straight to the Captain's Office.

In the Captain's Office, Tian Tao and District Chief Chang Wei were both present.

Chang Wei sat on the sofa, his face full of stubble making him look exceptionally haggard; he held half a smoked cigarette in his mouth, looked up at Wang Cong, and his voice, as if scraped by a blade, rasped: "You're here?"

Wang Cong quickly stood at attention and saluted: "Yes, reporting to District Chief."

Chang Wei looked at Wang Cong's nervous appearance, as if looking at himself over ten years ago; he slowly exhaled a thick smoke ring, the smoke drifting slowly in the air, his voice carrying an unquestionable coldness:

"The plan is moved up; tomorrow I will make Feng Mu die!"

As these words fell, the atmosphere in the office seemed to freeze instantly, and the temperature seemed to drop several degrees, deathly silent as if a needle could be heard dropping.

Chang Wei coldly stared at Wang Cong, the latter as if immobilized by an Immobilization Technique, frozen in place.

Chang Wei's brow furrowed slightly, and he glanced sideways at Tian Tao.

The latter understood, walked to Wang Cong's side, stood on tiptoe, wrapped his thick arm around Wang Cong's neck, pressed down hard, and pressed the whole person down under his armpit.

He smiled with a smile that didn't reach his eyes: "Just now in the cafeteria, I flared up at you—that was an act for Feng Mu to see; you're not really angry with me, are you?"

Wang Cong was pressed until he couldn't breathe, his voice somewhat choked: "No, no."

Chang Wei's mouth corner twitched slightly, his tone sarcastic:

"Fine, it seems you're not too stupid; you know I'm acting for you. Then you shouldn't be so foolish as to, while acting, act yourself into it, and really become friends with Feng Mu."

Wang Cong stretched his neck hard, stammering: "No, how could that be."

Tian Tao glared with his eyes, as if wanting to strip his clothes off and see clearly, speaking sinisterly: "Really not, but I see you two have been close these past two days."

Wang Cong lowered his head, his face pale as paper, veins bulging on his neck, his hoarse voice carrying a hint of helplessness and grievance:

"I'm just acting with Feng Mu; I'm doing all this, isn't it listening to you, to better gain his trust, to better carry out the plan."

Chang Wei coughed at the right time, and only then did Tian Tao coldly laugh and release his arm; Wang Cong moved his neck in a sorry state, his body still somewhat hunched as he bent his waist.

Chang Wei flicked off the cigarette butt, ground it out fiercely in the ashtray, his voice extremely deep:

"Wang Cong, don't feel uneasy; this world is just this dirty and cruel, everywhere filled with deceit and mutual harm; if we want to survive, to live well, we must adapt to this rule, must show our value, and most importantly, must side with the right people."

Chang Wei paused, then said meaningfully: "Side with the right people and you can rise straight up; side with the wrong people and you will suffer endless calamity."

Tian Tao interjected from the side: "Heard that? You must side with the right people."

Wang Cong coughed hard a few times, responding in a deep voice: "District Chief is right, I understand; I don't want to live the days of the past anymore; I will show my value, I will side with the right people."

Chang Wei lit another cigarette, Tian Tao nimbly took out a lighter, quickly stepped forward and bent over to light his cigarette for him.

Chang Wei sucked down half a cigarette in one mouthful, his eyes showing a hint of nostalgic remembrance; then, suddenly his gaze turned cold, and he inexplicably emitted several nervous-sounding laughs.

The laugh was exceptionally hoarse; Tian Tao and Wang Cong for a moment could not tell whether it was laughter or crying, only feeling a faint chill down their spines.

Chang Wei had no intention of explaining to them, then took another fierce drag, rasping:

"To side with the right people cannot rely on words alone; you must take action and hand in a token of allegiance; you understand?"

Wang Cong swallowed hard, bloodshot eyes revealing a terrifying ruthlessness and determination: "I understand; Feng Mu is my token of allegiance."

Chang Wei's expression was somewhat dazed; he looked at Wang Cong before him, hunched at the waist, his face full of ruthlessness, as if crossing through time and space, once again feeling the fragrance of his friend's fresh blood spraying on his face back then.

"Truly a nostalgic taste!"

Chang Wei withdrew his gaze, no longer looking at Wang Cong, but leaned back against the sofa back, his head tilted back, blankly staring at the ceiling yellowed by smoke, muttering to himself in a voice only he could hear:

"As expected, this world, no matter how many years pass, remains just as disgusting as ever, not a bit of change, haha, hahaha—"

Tian Tao viciously looked toward Wang Cong, speaking sinisterly: "Mind your own ears; don't listen to what you shouldn't hear."

Wang Cong nodded repeatedly, his expression somewhat fawning as he covered his ears.

Only then did Tian Tao, satisfied, take out an electric baton that had long been prepared from the office cabinet, and gently hand it into Wang Cong's hand: "You know what to do, right?"

Wang Cong removed the electric baton from his own waist and exchanged it, then carefully retied it, muttering: "I know."

Only then did Tian Tao force out a hypocritical smile: "Rest assured; once this matter is done, you'll be one of our own people; from now on in A District you won't have to take the night shift; Captain I will look after you well."

Wang Cong's expression changed slightly: "Thank you Captain, but actually I quite like taking the night shift."

Tian Tao looked at Wang Cong as if he were a fool, coldly laughing: "This doesn't matter; it's up to you."

After two seconds of silence.

Tian Tao then cautiously asked: "Feng Mu has been working nonstop for several days; how is his mental state?"

Wang Cong carefully recalled the fatigue that occasionally showed on Feng Mu's face, and said in a deep voice: "Probably quite tired; after all, he's not made of iron."

Tian Tao pondered briefly, turned around and took a small bottle from the drawer, handing it to Wang Cong, and instructed in a low voice: "Feng Mu doesn't eat the cafeteria's rice; find a way to quietly add this thing into his insulated bucket."

Wang Cong glanced at the bottle, which was as thick as a little finger; inside the bottle was a pale blue transparent liquid.

Tian Tao coldly laughed: "Rest assured; this is Shengguang Pharmaceutical's newly produced Q-14 type delayed hallucinogen, colorless, odorless, non-toxic; he won't taste it; it will only plunge him into a realm of drifting like a fairy when he circulates his Qi and Blood; guaranteed that even if Feng Mu is made of iron, by then his bones will go limp and his flesh will soften."

Tian Tao's tone paused for a moment, a hint of reluctance showing in his eyes: "Just this one bottle sells for 17850 outside, available but with no market; I got it through connections; hum, it can be considered cheap for Feng Mu."

Wang Cong put the glass bottle into his pocket, flattering: "Captain is truly too cautious; Feng Mu's death won't be unjust."

Tian Tao laughed heartily and slapped Wang Cong's shoulder heavily: "Go, go spend another day with your new good friend, and give him a proper send-off, hahaha—"

Wang Cong took a deep breath, likewise squeezed out a sinister smile on his face, and joined in laughing "hehehe".
