Chapter 34: The Grand Show Begins, I Gotta Blow Up the Opening (Please Keep Reading)

In the dim little bungalow by the roadside.

Xiao Yu San and tissues lay by the bed; in the poorly ventilated room hung a fermented smell.

The young lady sat by the bed getting dressed while shoving the sleeping Huang Mao awake, asking: "Bro, it's time—extending or settling up?"

Huang Mao woke up and glared fiercely at the woman, cursing: "Damn, give money, what money?"

The young lady was a bit afraid: "No, bro, you slept with me last night, you have to pay."

Huang Mao wiped his crotch with a tissue and laughed shamelessly: "I sleep with you and I have to pay? Then did you sleep with me too? Besides, I'm the one working all night, now my kidneys hurt, you think I'm letting you enjoy for free?"

The young lady looked completely baffled: "???"

Huang Mao fastened his belt, saw the young lady still dazed, grabbed her hair hard, and said fiercely: "Hurry up, give me 500 yuan for nutrition fees, I'm in a rush to go handle business."

The young lady was resentful, but her scalp was nearly pulled off, and seeing the short blade attached to Huang Mao's belt, she could only swallow her anger and take out 500 yuan.

Huang Mao snatched the money and left laughing loudly: "Good good good, I'll come screw you again next time I pass by."

The young lady closed the door and cursed hatefully: "Bastards of the Green Wolf Gang, even whoring money they cheat and snatch, I curse you to be hacked to death the moment you step out."

10 minutes later.

Huang Mao met up with Hong Mao and ate rice noodles at a street stall.

Hong Mao looked like he hadn't woken up yet, impatiently saying: "Don't know what Bin Ge means, making us watch people every day."

Huang Mao scratched his crotch: "Whatever Bin Ge orders, we do; are you questioning Bin Ge's decision?"

Hong Mao quickly shook his head: "I'm just wondering what Bin Ge is thinking, only letting us follow and not act, I say just grab everyone on the list and tie them back to the gang, wouldn't that be done?"

Huang Mao actually thought so too in his heart, but he could be sent out by Bin Ge to do things, one relying on ferocity and rascality, two relying on being able to keep his mouth shut.

Only do things, never ask more.

"Someone's coming." Huang Mao rinsed his mouth with tea water, then spat it back into the cup, then stood up and swaggered toward Feng Mu.

Hong Mao saw this and hurriedly followed.

The street vendor boss collected the bowls and cups with a black face, not daring to mention the meal money at all.

Feng Mu rode his bicycle and was forcibly stopped by Huang Mao, looking over with a pale face.

Huang Mao was very satisfied with Feng Mu's bloodless face, only thinking the other was scared by them and hadn't slept well all night.

Huang Mao really liked the feeling of being feared, he said coldly: "Where to?"

Feng Mu answered honestly: "Going to work at the Incineration Plant."

Huang Mao pulled Feng Mu off the bicycle and rode it himself: "Come on, lead the way ahead."

Feng Mu swept a glance at passersby avoiding him like a plague god, head down walking ahead.

Huang Mao wobbled while pedaling the bicycle, the pedals clattered against the road rocks one moment, then sank into mud the next, looking like he'd break the bicycle apart.

Arrived at the Incineration Plant a full 20 minutes later than usual.

Feng Mu was late for work for the first time, not only losing this month's perfect attendance but also having 100 deducted, all in all his end-of-month pay would be 500 less.

At the entrance of the Incineration Plant.

Huang Mao kicked the bicycle over with his leg propped, beckoned Feng Mu to come closer, and asked: "Know why we're following you?"

The security guard inside the plant sipped his thermos and watched coldly from the side.

Feng Mu narrowed his eyes, thinking inside, usually he didn't notice, but this morning all the way there were people, yet he just couldn't find a suitable opportunity, really a buzzkill.

But on his face he squeezed out a terrified look, zygomatic bone muscles trembling from nervousness: "Don't know."

Actually, this was Feng Mu controlling the bones under his skin; although he couldn't make them burst through the skin like finger bones, making slight expressions by moving muscles wasn't difficult.

Maybe, once the Molding Embryo level went up, he could change faces directly through bones, or simply grow a layer of bone mask on his face?

Pity that in this world the entertainment industry was delayed by Martial Dao; otherwise, Feng Mu turning to kill into the entertainment circle could at least mix a little golden man.

Feng Mu, a Best Actor whose steps were tied by an E Corpse.

Huang Mao coldly laughed three times, with a grim face threatening: "Think carefully about what you've done recently, our Green Wolf Gang wouldn't watch you for no reason, once you've thought it through honestly explain the problem."

Feng Mu was stunned for a moment, he felt Huang Mao was wasting his talent as a hooligan, should go to the Patrol Bureau to conduct interrogations.

Really, if he hadn't planted an eye in the Green Wolf Gang in advance, this moment he might really have a guilty conscience as a thief and be tricked into confessing.

Seeing Feng Mu clench his teeth and lips without speaking, Huang Mao bared his teeth, pointed at his own eyes with a finger, then at Feng Mu, meaning: I'll keep watching you.

"What time do you get off work?"

"7 o'clock."

"See you after work, don't think about running, we know where your home is."

"Mm, see you or not."

Feng Mu answered with a trembling voice, Huang Mao and Hong Mao walked away with a stride that recognized no kin, not noticing that in the latter's trembling voice was suppressed a trace of Qiyi excitement.

The security guard was still sipping goji tea in his thermos, looking at Feng Mu's back with pity, thinking that in a few days the plant might need to recruit new Cremation Workers again.

Anyway already late, Feng Mu wasn't in a hurry.

He slowly pushed the bicycle into the bike shed, drew a basin of water and wiped it clean.

While wiping, he happily roasted: "Love to ride, love to ride, system activation mission, you even escaped my tiger's mouth, didn't expect today you almost got dismantled by someone, if I knew earlier, better to have been eaten by me, right~ hey, rest assured, I'll get justice for you."

Bicycle · Ai Qi: "......" Thank you, Master.

In the morning, Wang Jian seemed to have heard something, asking and caring about Feng Mu.

Feng Mu remained silent in response.

Wang Jian then suggested he report to the police: "Go to the Patrol Bureau, no wait, Feng Mu isn't your dad a constable captain, just go find your dad?"

In Feng Mu's dictionary for solving problems, there was never a "find dad" saying, as if Feng Ju was a blocked sensitive word.

When encountering problems, he subconsciously would exclude Feng Ju as an option.

On one hand, the original body after all committed suicide, the lingering resentment in the body might have interfered with Feng Mu's train of thought;

On the other hand, Feng Mu was always ready to leave that home, he didn't want to cause extra trouble and deepen their connection, especially deepening the cause and effect with Feng Ju, not wanting any good or bad in any sense.

However,

Wang Jian's suggestion, however, was like a sudden lightning bolt piercing through the mist; although it lasted only an instant, it seemed to suddenly let him catch a glimpse of the whole picture, as if he vaguely understood something.

"Openly tailing, continuously applying pressure, and all targeting the bottom-tier vulnerable groups — under normal thinking, shouldn't they go to the Patrol Bureau?"

"Someone like me, who wants to rely on himself, rely on killing to eliminate a gang — that is the aberrant thinking, right?"

"So, this is Ma Bin's purpose?"

"Using the list as a fuse to provoke the Patrol Bureau into moving against the Green Wolf Gang; the reason I was picked for the list, besides coincidence, is also because I am a Patrol Bureau family member, making it easier to enrage the Patrol Bureau."

"So, Ma Bin wants the Patrol Bureau to launch a special crackdown to sweep away evil; what is he plotting? Isn't he the Green Wolf Gang's second-in-command?"

"Oh, I understand — it is precisely because he is the Green Wolf Gang's second-in-command."

Although some minor details are still unclear, on the whole, Feng Mu has basically guessed it.

"Truly directed a grand play!"

Feng Mu felt emotion in his heart, and at the same time the stone in his heart completely settled, with no more a shred of worry.

The mist of an unclear situation hides killing intent everywhere, because you don't know from where the hidden arrow will fly; but once you see through it, you become the hunter drawing his bow in the dark.

And you will be the one hidden deepest, the least noticeable.

On the well-built stage, there are protagonists, supporting actors, clowns, extras... how could the true culprit's role be missing?

Don't know if it's due to the system's influence and bewitchment, Feng Mu suddenly felt the restless factors in his bones and blood stirring.

"Without the true culprit, this play is incomplete; I must make an appearance to detonate the opening~" he thought.
