"Since you know all this, you must understand!" I gritted my teeth, my voice trembling slightly. "The Drug Trafficking Group our parents were involved with is now under Lai San's control. Our parents died at the hands of these people, and instead of avenging them, you accept Lai San. What are you really thinking?"
Wu Zui frowned, spreading his hands in confusion. "Wait, I'm not quite following you. Revenge? Why seek revenge? Aren't you the one who values justice above all? So, the path our parents chose, whether they lived or died, was their own choice."
Wu Zui shook his head, pressing his lips together. "By your logic, drug traffickers should all die, right? So why does it not apply when it comes to your parents? You can't have double standards, brother. Besides, don't you think keeping the organization that once killed our parents under your control is a better form of revenge?"
"How do you know all this?" I asked. "Twenty years ago, we were just kids; there's no way you could remember events from that long ago. Was it something Lai San told you? But have you considered that anyone who knows about it might have been involved in killing our parents? Do you really believe what those people told you?"
Wu Zui revealed a cryptic smile and said, "Actually, I don't care about our parents' matters at all. If I were to show some humanity, my life was given to me by Shi Huacheng. So, to repay Shi Huacheng for raising me, I should bring him out."
"Repaying for raising you?" I was furious, my emotions flaring. "You call the things Shi Huacheng instilled in you a form of nurturing? Teaching you to kill while you're still learning and leaving you clueless about good and evil—that's your so-called nurturing?"
Wu Zui stroked his chin thoughtfully. "You make a good point. But do you know what our fate is? We were born into sin; everyone around us cannot escape death's grasp. We were born alone; our lives are so hard that they end up destroying everyone around us—ultimately just the two of us."
"What’s the point of killing until the end?" Wu Zui laughed. "In the end, it's just a play of us brothers killing each other—how interesting! Think about it; we share the same blood. Do you know why you're so prone to Self-Blame Delusion? Because we are fundamentally the same! Our parents are criminals, so our blood carries the genes of crime. Do you understand? We were born to destroy this world; we were born to commit crimes!"
I slowly leaned back against the bed, listening to Wu Zui's baseless sophistry and retorted, "Are children of criminals destined to be criminals themselves? Nonsense! Each person is born with their own sense of good and evil; that has nothing to do with whether their parents are criminals or not. What I intend to do is personally lock you up!"
"I?" Wu Zui exaggeratedly pointed at himself. "You want to arrest me? Look at where you're standing! Do you really think you can catch me?"
Then Wu Zui walked over and gently patted my head. "My dear brother, just watch my performance closely. You will soon taste all the pain this world has to offer; everyone will leave you. You came here alone and will leave alone."
A smile spread across Wu Zui's face.
As he spoke, he put on his mask and slowly clapped his hands.
Moments later, Jesse pushed the door open and walked in.
Wu Zui turned to Jesse and asked, "What's the situation?"
Jesse replied, "No problem; Scarface has already placed the explosives where they need to go and has checked everything. Once we act, the explosives will be enough to blow down the entire wall. Lai San and his men have headed west with over a kilogram of ****; that's a significant amount. If they're caught, the City Bureau will definitely mobilize everything."
Wu Zui nodded.
Jesse continued, "Lai San has already discussed with Liu Jian. At that time, there will be a big commotion over there, and the City Bureau people will almost empty out. No one will be able to manage things here. After that, Lai San will escape, leaving those underlings to take the blame. However, we have already made arrangements with Liu Jian; by then, Lai San won't be able to run away. This is the foundation of our cooperation with Liu Jian."
"However," Jesse glanced at Wu Zui, seemingly wanting something but ultimately changed the subject. "Yinzi has already started hacking into the prison's system. According to what Yinzi told me, he has a total of five minutes to hack in, during which he needs to leave the prison and reach a designated location."
Wu Zui nodded and said, "I wonder how things are going on Li Ai's side."
Hearing the familiar name Li Ai, I suddenly understood what Wu Zui was planning. We were no strangers to Li Ai; this was the Intersex Person from the Zodiac Murder Case, the Multiple Personality Murderer. After that case concluded, I was framed by Wu Zui as a Fugitive, so I wasn't clear on what Li Ai ended up doing.
Later, when I met up with Gu Chen, it was Gu Chen who informed me about Li Ai's subsequent news. After going in, Li Ai took advantage of others' inattention to escape, and after that, I knew nothing more. Now it seemed that Li Ai had indeed been used by Wu Zui and was still working for him.
Shaking his head, Wu Zui continued, "But Li Ai has been inside for over two months now; he should have made contact with him by now. At this point, if he wants to leave incognito, he should cooperate obediently."
Jesse nodded and continued, "Old Zhang is waiting for us at the pickup point and has prepared the escape tools; we can leave at any time. Vivian is currently scouting nearby. Moriko, Guan Zengbin, and Gu Chen are together. Are we still proceeding according to the original plan?"
Wu Zui extended his hand and looked at his watch before speaking. "It's Early Morning three o'clock now. In two hours, around five o'clock when it starts to get light, everyone will just be waking up. People are most confused when they first get out of bed; if we act then, they will definitely be caught off guard."
"Get ready," Wu Zui waved his hand. "We'll each head out in ten minutes."
Jesse nodded and left again.
Wu Zui adjusted his mask and said, "Soon you'll see a good show."
I looked at Wu Zui and ventured my guess: "You want to break someone out of prison?"
Unable to see Wu Zui's expression, I continued, "You've prepared explosives and you have plenty of money; you're definitely not planning to rob a bank. Furthermore, you've arranged for two groups of people—one group pretending to sell Drugs. If such an incident occurs in a city, it's a big deal. Moreover, Liu is one of your people; this way he has a reason not to have time to go to the prison. It only takes ten minutes to dispatch armed police to the prison; during that time frame, you just need to deal with the prison guards."
"How many people do you have that dare to break into a prison?" I looked at Wu Zui and said. "What era do you think this is? Do you really believe you can rescue Shi Huacheng in just ten minutes? You need to know that Shi Huacheng is locked up in Dongxing City's most impregnable prison."
Wu Zui shook his finger and replied, "No, no, no. There is no such thing as impregnable in this world. If there were, then there wouldn't be anyone guarding this prison because as long as someone is present, there will be weaknesses. And if there are weaknesses, how can it be called impregnable?"
"Some people can be bought with money, some with beauty, and others can be threatened with violence when they refuse to drink. Besides, even if we can't save him, so what?"
Wu Zui's voice was clearly excited. "In the past twenty years, there has never been a case as big as this in Dongxing City. Just thinking about how those high-ranking officials will scratch their heads and fidget makes me want to laugh. Moreover, the prison break is just part of our plan."
"The prison break is just part of your plan?" I shook my head and asked. "What exactly do you want to do? Even if you rescue Shi Huacheng, do you think you can get out of the city? By then, Dongxing City will definitely be under martial law. Even if you could fly, you wouldn't be able to escape Dongxing City."
Wu Zui was a bit angry; his tone turned harsh. "What are you talking about? I've already told you—I never intended to escape. If I did, where else would I find such a big city to play in? I'm just trying to fulfill a wish my adoptive father had before he died. It's an interesting and bloody wish, so I agreed—that's all."
"Why do you all think that killing needs some kind of reason? If there's only one reason, it's because I like it. Just like some people like to eat meat, some prefer vegetables, some enjoy loud noises, and others like rotten eggs. I just enjoy killing, destruction, and bloodshed. Do you understand?"
Wu Zui grabbed my collar, visibly furious.
"Why can't any of you understand?" Wu Zui gasped for breath. "Not even my only living relative understands me. It's so pointless. You need to understand me; you need to know me. Then I can kill you, and that's how I'll feel excitement—do you get it?"
"Do you understand?" Wu Zui shoved me onto the bed.
Wu Zui seemed to show signs of a split personality; it appeared we were indeed twins, sharing even the same mental issues.
Wu Zui let out a long sigh. "But you don't need to understand anymore; just wait and watch the show."
"Come on, my dear brother. You are the only person in this world I want to slowly torment to death."
