88 The Folder (2)

"You have a huge gambling debt and loan sharks were after you when you applied here. We accepted you and even given you a very comfortable position, earning you enough money to pay off your debt and live comfortably with your family. That is your second chance in life, but humans are really greedy." Jed lifted his right foot and stamped it over the man's left hand making him shout in pain.

He continued, "You used your position to charge a higher price for the membership fee. Membership fee is first come first serve basis but you actually charged higher so that those in the back can be catered first. You pocketed money from us and you used it on women and vices. You actually impregnated 3 women other than your wife in just the span of a year and a half. You threatened them to abort it and left them for new and fresh ones. Your wife and daughter are waiting for you day and night but you only send them a small amount of money to strive on their own. But we still chose you to do the job, to spy on Juaqin. That is already your third chance in life. After all this, you still chose to visciously bite the hand of your owner. What a really stupid dog you are. You let you lower body part get ahead of you. A very stupid move." After saying that his foot pressed more making the man scream again.

"Mas-master, please-- I can-- I still have -still have secrets that Juaqin shared to me." the man said as he gasp for air and is enduring the pain on both of his hands.

Jed again laughed, his eyes full of sarcasm as he stare at the man below him. "Are you threatening us? Let me tell you this. What you know, we already know. What you heard, we already heard and what you saw, we already had it stored in a compact disc for every one to see. Now tell me, do you still have a trump card left on your sleeve?"

The man felt himself pee as he trembled in fear of what he just heard. Ah... it's over. They know. They actually know everything. He can't freely move his hands anymore because it hurts a lot. He can only grit his teeth as he curse the Yuan family and everyone who is connected to them.

"Enough with all this talking. I still have a date I must meet. Keannu, call the cops already so that we can have this place cleaned. The smell of that man's filthy blood is on my suit now. Tsk, now I have to take a bath and change my clothes. Tsk2x, better throw these suit away before it contaminate my whole wardrobe." Damian complained as he text his date about him being late. He then went inside a room which served as his bedroom.

Jed saw confusion on the man's eyes as he heard what Damian said. "What? You look relieved. Is it because were sending you to jail instead of killing you directly?"

The man became mute and didn't utter a word as he stare back at Jed. "Old man, you should be happy that our plan on using you as a decoy actually worked. If not, then you would have been a lifeless rotting body by now. We will send you to jail, but before that we will cut your tongue and cripple both of your hands. We already have the best excuse in the world so don't even think about accusing us in the future."

The man's eyes dimmed and fresh tears run down his cheeks, soaking the dried blood on it. "Don't even think about suicide. You won't succeed either. Your wife and child are already happy and safe in the home of her maternal family. I guess you never really showed love to your wife and child as they instantly accepted the news of your 'death'. They accepted the money we gave them and went back to the province." after saying this, Jed walked away and went back to the couch. Seconds after, four big brawny men came into the room. The man was dragged like a lifeless doll, he have no strength to fight and struggle anymore. He let the four men lift him out of the room, his body in agony as they tactfully carry him out.

When the man was already gone and dealt with. Jed stood up and said farewell to Keannu and Neo who were silent the whole time. He is already used to their stone cold personalities so he didn't mind their lack of reply as he bid goodnight.

When there were only the two of them left in the receiving area. Keannu wordlessly strode towards a the bar counter's drawer and pulled out a white folder from it. He placed the red folder inside before closing it. He strode back towards Neo and presented the folder in front of him.

"They secretly went to a beach resort in Y country last week." Keannu said as Neo scan through the pictures inside the folder.

You can clearly see a young man and a young woman kissing in the white sand, the sunset as their background made the picture more intimate and romantic. Another picture is a picture of them inside an elevator making out. The dates and details of each picture is printed out in a white paper. Neo's grip on the folder tightened and his aura and expression became colder. His mind is currently busy cursing and murdering his cousin.

Keannu can only sigh as he saw his friend's reaction. He forcefully pulled the folder away from Neo's grip resulting on the poor paper folder almost getting ripped. Neo let it go and again moved his gaze outside the window near him.

"You said you were on a date with that girl named Elrae. What happened? I heard you were not in a good mood when you entered the building this evening." Keannu casually said as he walk back to the bar and placed back the slightly crumpled white folder inside the drawer. He knows that if he won't start the conversation, his friend won't say a word about it so even though he himself don't like to talk he can only painstakingly start the conversation.

"The water works didn't work" Neo said. Making Keannu confused and puzzled by his friend's response.
