"Brother, are you there?"
Just then, a voice came from outside the door.
Situ Lei knew it was his sister, Situ Jiao, immediately. He quickly closed the page and got up to open the door.
"Brother, what bad things are you up to? You even locked the door from the inside." Situ Jiao pouted.
"What bad things could I be up to? I was planning to go to bed and rest," Situ Lei said with a slight smile.
"Yeah, right. When have you ever gone to sleep this early?" Situ Jiao sat down on the sofa.
"Why are you coming here so late?" Situ Lei asked curiously.
"Can't I come and check on you if there's nothing wrong?" Situ Jiao glanced at him, then casually asked, "By the way, did you take care of that despicable man from last time?"
In Situ Jiao's mind, that man should have been long gone. She had only just remembered him, which was why she asked.
"Are you talking about the man who was with Lin Wenting and who humiliated you?"
"Who else would it be?" Situ Jiao still felt anger when she thought of that incident! That bastard had actually slapped her in public and even straddled her to tear at her mouth! When had she, Situ Jiao, ever suffered such humiliation?
Looking back, she somewhat regretted letting her brother kill him immediately. She should have had her brother bring the man to her so he could kneel down and lick the soles of her shoes! But since the man was already dead, she supposed he got off easy.
Situ Lei's thoughts weren't much different from Situ Jiao's. He said, "I handed the matter over to Martial Artist, and he should have taken care of it long ago."
"By the way, Martial Artist is getting less and less disciplined. He doesn't even report back after completing a task!" Situ Lei's face darkened with annoyance. Had Situ Jiao not brought it up, it wouldn't have even crossed his mind!
Situ Jiao was also taken aback. Reporting back after a mission was the most basic rule, and Martial Artist had been following Big Brother for many years; he couldn't possibly be ignorant of such a rule. "Big Brother, you don't think something unexpected happened, do you?" Situ Jiao asked uneasily.
"What could possibly go wrong? It's just some nobody, isn't it?" Situ Lei said dismissively, picking up his phone and dialing a number. "Martial Artist, get back here immediately!"
Less than ten minutes passed before a man, not very tall but seeming to contain a huge amount of energy, walked in. "Young Master, did you need me?" The man bowed his head in front of Situ Lei, sensing from his tone that he was very angry, so he was a bit scared.
"Martial Artist, have you become too complacent?" Situ Lei glanced at him, his voice cold.
"Young Master, how could you say that? I have always been absolutely loyal to you!" Martial Artist was startled and hurriedly defended himself.
"Absolutely loyal? If you are so loyal, why didn't you report back after completing the task!" Situ Lei said sternly.
"Young Master, how could that be? I always report back as soon as I've completed a task!"
"Then what about the man who insulted Jiao last time? Why haven't you reported to me about that yet?" Situ Lei suddenly slapped the table fiercely.
Upon hearing this, Ah Hu's face turned unsightly, and he stammered, unable to utter a word.
"Now you have nothing to say, huh?" Seeing Ah Hu's reaction, Situ Lei became even more convinced of his thoughts and coldly spat out, "Ah Hu, you have been with me for so many years, and you should be clear about how I deal with the disloyal."
At those words, Ah Hu's body shuddered violently, and he squeezed out a difficult sentence: "Young Master, I haven't completed that task yet."
"What!" Situ Lei's face immediately showed astonishment, followed by anger spreading across his face. "You worthless thing, you can't even handle a little bastard, what else can you do?"
Situ Jiao, upon hearing that the man was still alive, was even more shocked and furious, suddenly standing up. "Ah Hu, what exactly is going on?" Situ Jiao asked sharply, incredulous that the man who had humiliated her was still alive to this day, and she was completely unaware!
"Young Master, Miss, I've already sent out three groups of people, each stronger than the last, even including five Martial Artists, but none have returned," Ah Hu said with frustration. "These past two days I was preparing to arrange things properly and take action personally."
The moment Ah Hu's words dropped, the siblings Situ Lei and Situ Jiao were both momentarily stunned. Three groups of people, five Martial Artists, none could handle that guy? How bizarre could that be?
"Get me that person's information immediately!" Situ Lei demanded quickly, his face growing exceedingly grim.
"Yes!"
Ah Hu immediately took out his phone, which contained the target's information. He opened a document and handed the phone to Situ Lei.
The moment Situ Lei took the phone, the first thing he saw was a photo, and when he saw it, his body involuntarily jerked, and he held his breath. Then, he saw the name beside it, one he had never forgotten even in his dreamsโSu Chen!
The man who had given him the greatest humiliation of his life!
It never occurred to him that the man who had humiliated his sister was also this man! It was his fault for not taking his sister's account of the incident to heart. After all, to him, it was just a trivial character, easily erased, so why pay more attention?
There was another coincidence; after the incident at the Qimeng Tower, he had handed over the task of assassinating Su Chen to someone else. Had he given the task to Ah Hu, he would have known much sooner that the two were the same person.
"Ah Jiao, is it this man?" Situ Lei handed the phone to Situ Jiao and asked.
"Indeed, it's him!" Seeing that face again, Situ Jiao felt a surge of endless hatred and humiliation.
"Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"I would recognize him even if he turned to ashes!" Situ Jiao spat out through gritted teeth. How could she possibly not recognize this man who had sat on top of her, tearing at her mouth!
"Big brother, no matter what, this man must die! Otherwise, the hatred in my heart will not be appeased!"
"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements; he won't be jumping around much longer!" Situ Lei's face revealed a sinister light.
Situ Lei's confidence naturally came from the person who had accepted his Dark Flower mission, after all, it had cost him 3 billion US dollars to secure the service. Of course, those 3 billion hadn't come solely from him, but from everyone who had been humiliated by that man that day, who had pooled their resources together.
Each one of them yearned for that man's demise, as if only by his death could they alleviate a fraction of their humiliation...
