Granting You A Second Life

Li Xiuying returned to her bed and resumed reading the report.

The man that Li Xiuying referred to as face scar, was nicknamed Bandit, legal name Wan Ping.

Wan Ping's father was a massive gambler; he had taken out numerous loans to fund his addiction. There were numerous debt collectors hounding Wan Ping's father; some even resorting to violence. In order to escape the threat of the loan sharks; one night Wan Ping's parents fled the city, never to be seen again. They had left Wan Ping behind.

Wan Ping was subsequently taken in by the local orphanage.

At the age of 12; he started mixing with the local small-time hoodlums and thus began his life of crime. Wan Ping primarily stole; his repertoire included everything from pick pocketing to burglary. He would steal anything that wasn't nailed down and could fetch a price if sold.

Wan Ping met Deng Bojing when he was 15 years old. Wan Ping was fleeing from the scene of a burglary that had gone wrong and Deng Bojing who was driving past had helped him escape.

Since that encounter Wan Ping became a Deng Bojing's shadow. Deng Bojing was the organ grinder and Wan Ping became his monkey. Wan Ping would do anything Deng Bojing ordered without question.

So naturally when Deng Bojing joined Phantoms, Wan Ping followed.

Wan Ping continued to follow behind Deng Bojing like a lost puppy. Wan Ping ended up living with Deng Bojing.. Due to the fact they were always in each other's company as well as Wan Ping's unwavering loyalty and total obedience; numerous rumors started circulating within the Phantoms about their relationship being of more intimate in nature. However, there was never any evidence to support these claims.

Deng Bojing started removing the tongues of anyone he heard speaking about him; the rumors soon completely disappeared within the Phantoms.

However at a meeting between the syndicates, there were whispers questioning Deng Bojing's and Wan Ping's s.e.x.u.a.lity. Deng Bojing used a razor to slice across Wan Ping's face resulting in him being permanently disfigured. No one questioned Deng Bojing again.

Even after this incident; Wan Ping continued to follow Deng Bojing. Li Xiuying quirked an eyebrow at the information; Wan Ping's loyalty will be hard to break.

Li Xiuying skimmed through the next few pages which detailed Wan Ping's list of crimes. From the timeline of the crimes it was clear that Wan Ping had only started his life of violent crime after meeting Deng Bojing.

Wan Ping's first kill was the 11 year old son of a rival gang member, Leung Chi.

Leung Chi and Deng Bojing had got into a minor scuffle at a bar. Deng Bojing then tracked down Leung Chi's details included his address and ordered Wan Ping to kill the young boy. Wan Ping slit the boy's throat while the boy was sleeping in his bed. he did this all under the watchful eye of Deng Bojing.

Li Xiuying put Wan Ping's details back into the envelope.

She then looked at the next head shot. It was of the long haired man with red contacts.

Li Xiuying continued to read.

The man was nicknamed Hack, legal name Zhu Da. Unlike the previous two members of The Soulless, Zhu Da was born into the Phantoms. His father was a lieutenant within the phantoms and his mother worked at one of the bars Phantom owned.

Zhu Da specialized in hacking and his predominant role was to support the many operations of the Phantoms from behind the scenes. He laundered money, manipulated security systems, planned escape routes and found valuable Intel.

Zhu Da also had a brother called Zhu Dai Fa who was 1 year younger; he was also a member of the Phantoms.

Li Xiuying flicked through the pages and looked at the next head shot. It was the man with the samurai hairstyle. She looked at the report about him; nickname Reaper, Legal name Zhu Dai Fa.

Li Xiuying briefly read through the report on Zhu Da before quickly reading through Zhu Dai Fa's information.

There was only one conclusion to be made. Zhu Dai Fa was a cold blooded killer. His body count was unknown but it was at least 300+ it included men, woman, children even animals weren't spared. He killed the old, the young, able bodied, disabled, even his family and acquaintances weren't spared. There were even rumors that he had killed his 8 week old sister when he was just 6 years old.

Zhu Dai Fa was a calculated killer. His methods of killing were imaginative and cruel. He had once injected the muscular relaxant Pancuronium into his victim then placed the victim in a bath tub full of water. He placed the arms of his conscious victim over the side of the bath tub and placed weights on the man's fingers. Zhu Dai Fa then slowly removed the weights at unpredictable time intervals. Zhu Dai Fa watched the victim slowly slip in to his watery death.

Li Xiuying looked at the last photo. It was the man that had gone to collect the money. Li Xiuying remembered he had vivid green eyes the colour of a green mamba.

Li Xiuying was surprised at the length of the report. It was only 3 sentences.

Nickname Acid, legal name Han Xin.

Han Xin joined the phantoms at the age of 22 in the year 2000. like the other he left Phantoms and became a part of The Soulless.

Li Xiuying found Han Xin particularly interesting; because there was absolutely no information on him as if he didn't exist before joining the phantoms.

Li Xiuying thought to herself, 'Hmmm, he must have powerful connections, to be able to keep his past hidden so well.'

Li Xiuying put the rest of the report back into the enveloped and put the envelope inside the draw of her bed side cabinet.

She leaned back on the headboard and started thinking about how to get her revenge. Although she didn't have a definitive plan yet; there was one thing she was certain of. She would break them physically and psychologically.
