"I feel like you're acting very strangely. Is something wrong with Yangzi?" Xiao Yu asked, grabbing Lü Liang's hand.
"No. Yangzi has a mission and was temporarily pulled away. So, you can't tell anyone else about this. That way, by the time we finish our outing and return, Yangzi should be back home."
"Tell me the truth, is Yangzi in danger?"
"Their missions are never without danger. But he always manages to turn misfortune into good fortune. Don't be scared."
"How can I not be scared? My sister finally got married and has a proper status, only to become a widow after just one day. Who could possibly endure that?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Yangzi is fine. Stop overthinking and get some sleep. Tomorrow, we'll stick to the original plan, going wherever we intended to go."
As Lü Liang spoke, he went to the bathroom to wash up. By the time Guo Xu Yang stirred and tried to open his eyes, the sky outside was already bright.
"This kid is really heavy," the big black man muttered.
"Once we hand the person over, our mission will be complete. You won't complain about the weight when you're enjoying countless American dollars," Wei Er Lan said with a smile.
"Boss, you're brilliant. I didn't expect to bring this kid over so easily."
"This is what you call getting a lot done with little expense. Why make a big fuss when something can be accomplished without a single soldier?"
"The woman who spoke to you is really beautiful."
"Is she? A flower in the assassin world, a rose with thorns. It's a pity she's married. Here, it's this kid in your hands."
"Could he be part of the organization too?"
"Of course not. If he were, how could we possibly do this?"
"That's true. We're not allowed to fight among ourselves."
Of course, Guo Xu Yang translated these thoughts himself. How could two foreigners chat using our idioms?
Guo Xu Yang was taken to a room where three people were present.
"Is this the person we put a bounty on? I don't see anything special about him," a bald middle-aged black man remarked.
"You can't judge a book by its cover. According to the information passed on, this kid did it all. We just don't know how," a tall man with blue eyes said.
"Let's wake him up? We'll know once we ask," a short man in a well-tailored suit suggested.
"He might take two or three days to wake up. To prevent any accidents, I had someone inject him with two doses of anesthetic," Wei Er Lan said.
"Aren't you afraid he'll sleep through and never wake up?" the tall man with blue eyes asked.
"You want a living person, so why would I do something so foolish? I mixed something else into the anesthetic, otherwise, he wouldn't have been so compliant."
The three looked at each other, unsure of what Wei Er Lan meant by mixing something in.
"It's the truth serum obtained from Mr. Wilson," Wei Er Lan said, glancing at the tall man with blue eyes.
The other three seemed to understand, as if they all knew what truth serum was.
"This will have side effects," Wilson stated.
"I believe after you interrogate him, you'll want to throw him away like a used rag, won't you?" Wei Er Lan said.
"We can't say for sure. It depends on this person's willpower," Wilson replied.
"If possible, he would be quite good for experiments."
"Esteemed sirs, I have handed the person over to you. Please transfer the remaining payment promptly." Wei Er Lan smiled at the three people present.
