Chapter 118 - Applying What Has Been Learned

It was only helping when someone asked for help and you extended a helping hand. In contrast, it would be deemed being a busybody if someone didn't ask for help yet you insisted on helping. Even when you were doing it out of kindness, they would still call you a kind-hearted busybody.

As such, Yang Yi was also wondering if he was being a busybody meddling into something that he shouldn't. When all was said and done, he would be going against Zhang Yong's wish if he did act.

Because of that, Yang Yi needed to find out more details on Wayne the Beast and the only person who could give him this information was Danny.

Hello, Captain, sorry to bother you but there's something I must ask you.

Speak.

Do you know someone called Wayne the Beast.

Wayne the Beast?

Yes.

Of course, I have heard of him before. He's abnormal, downright ferocious. But he's dead though.

Dead? Are you sure?

Yes, he's dead. Why didn't you just ask Zhang Yong? Wayne the Beast was one of his men.

Yang Yi took a deep breath before he said, Wait a minute, Captain. Can you start from the beginning? Why would you say Wayne the Beast was one of Zhang Yong's men and that he's already dead?

Danny solemnly said, Zhang Yong used to do everything. Later, he met someone called Junk Dog and pulled together a group of men. They took any job including cross-border jobs. They were also very good at their jobs. Wayne the Beast was a part of the group.

I understand. If that's the case, why would say that he's dead?

There was a huge commotion four years ago. Oh, sorry. To be precise, only those within the circles are aware of the commotion. The FBI managed to eliminate Junk Dog and his whole team. Junk Dog and his team had accepted a job to assassinate someone very important. However, they were ambushed by the FBI instead and ended up dead after a heavy gunfire exchange.

If that's the case, how did Zhang Yong survive?

Zhang Yong only survived because he was the failsafe. After that disaster, he stopped taking high-value jobs. A year later, he took the initiative and got himself admitted into the prison you're in. I thought he just didn't want to be living all alone in the outside world. For people like Zhang Yong, he'll never have a roommate unless he's assigned a cellmate in prison. I think he also wanted to break all contact with his past.

Yang Yi took another deep breath before he finally asked, Captain, can I trust you?

What do you think? Danny sounded rather annoyed when he responded.

Yang Yi didn't have a choice but to ask because he was meddling in someone else's personal matter, Captain, you need to promise me not to share what I'm about to tell you. It will only be between you and me. Can you do that?

Danny turned serious as he answered Yang Yi, Then you better not tell me. I don't like to keep secrets. It can easily get you killed if you know too many secrets. You better not say it. Moreover, we're now speaking over a phone line.

Yang Yi lowered his voice and said, It's related to Zhang Yong.

Oh, if that's the case, just say it. I already have a rough idea what's it all about anyway.

Wayne the Beast isn't dead. He's being held in the same prison I'm in.

Fuck! What did you just say?! I understand now. Zhang Yong is in there to rescue Wayne. No, that can't be right! Fuck! After cursing, Danny suddenly turned furious as he continued, Zhang Yong didn't go in to rescue Wayne. Wayne betrayed them. Zhang Yong is in there for vengeance.

You're right.

Oh shit! Fuck! I understand what's going on now. But why would he betray them? Why?

I don't know the reason. I only know Zhang Yong is here to get vengeance on Wayne. It's just that now Wayne is living in a single person cell and living a miserable life just like that of a beggar. Zhang Yong believes this form of punishment is better for Wayne. Thus, Zhang Yong is now living here to watch over Wayne.

Danny sighed before he finally said, I am still wondering why Wayne would betray them. They had a very good relationship. In the past, Wayne was being pursued and he was at the end of his rope when Zhang Yong saved him. Since then, all that he had was given to him by Zhang Yong. I just can't imagine why he would sell them out.

I don't know because Zhang Yong wasn't willing to tell me. Captain, I want to kill Wayne. Otherwise, Zhang Yong will never leave this place. He has given up on himself. He plans to forsake his own freedom just to make sure Wayne is living a much more miserable life than he is.

Danny said, This is going be really troublesome.

Captain, do you think I should help Zhang Yong get rid of Wayne? After all, I'm meddling here. It's just that I don't want Zhang Yong to continue wasting his time here.

Danny sighed a bit longer before he said anything. Zhang Yong is the most capable person I have ever met. Regardless of what Wayne did, he shouldn't be wasting the rest of his life in prison. Just kill him. There's no point wasting time on that guy. We need to correct Zhang Yong's misguided mindset. I support your decision. Just one problem though Little Egg. Do you think you can kill Wayne? I suspect you will just end up being his prey instead.

Captain, I'm quite strong now. Besides, Wayne is locked up in a cell and he's always wearing shackles.

You don't seem to understand. Wayne is not someone that you can apply common sense to. Listen to me, don't act rashly. What you should do now is persuade Zhang Yong and not act arbitrarily. You won't be Wayne's opponent even if he has shackles on. As long as Wayne is still mobile, there's no way you can defeat him. Think of another way to kill him. It's best that you don't confront him directly.

Yang Yi gave it a moment of thought before he answered, I know what to do. After some time, I might need you to help me pay five hundred thousand dollars. I will contact you again when that happens.

After Yang Yi ended the phone call, he was deep in thought for a while before he waved Geller over. Is there any poison which won't easily be detected? The victim needs to die painfully and the poison should have no cure.

Geller just laughed as he answered, There's just too many of them.

It needs to be something we can make here in prison.

What? A poison we can make in prison? That is not going to be easy. Without the right equipment, we won't be able to refine the required ingredients. Give me a moment to think about it. The poison needs to be deadly yet can only be made with some rudimentary processing. Geller started thinking about his options.

Yang Yi just sighed before he said, You don't have to rush. Take your time. We have plenty of time to get this right.

Geller raised his head and said, I've thought of something! The poison will take effect the moment you inject it into the body. Is that good enough?

Yang Yi gave it some thought before he shook his head, If I can inject the poison then I can just kill him directly. So, injection won't do. It would be best if we can smear the poison on his food without him ever finding out. Alternatively, it needs to be a poison which will immediately take effect the moment it's applied to the skin.

Is that what you need? If that's the case, let me see what I can get my hands on in prison before I come up with something.
