Chapter 296: Disappointment from the Professor, K's Heart Becomes Colder and More Angry
"Find a place and wait for someone to kill me..."
The ghost's words were full of sarcasm and clearly meant to hurt K, who clenched his fists in anger.
But the next second.
The expression on K's face had changed from anger to coldness, and he said with narrowed eyes.
"Okay, very good, Ghost."
"Report to the police? To be honest, you're the first piece of shit that can make me so angry in all these years."
"Now you better hide well."
"This time, there is no wife you can kill and hide in prison to escape the pursuit."
"When the time comes, I will have people cut off your flesh piece by piece, and you will regret everything you have done now."
Regarding K's threat.
The ghost didn't take it to heart at all, instead he laughed and sneered nonchalantly.
"no."
"I'm giving you some face by calling you Boss K. Do you really think you're someone special?"
"Now that the entire organization is almost done, do you think I will continue to work for you? Or are you naive to think that... when you send people to kill me, I will voluntarily stick my neck out..."
Before the ghost could finish.
K hung up the phone directly, not wanting to hear any more sarcastic remarks.
Then, when he was holding the phone tightly and was about to smash it to the ground to vent his anger, he suddenly seemed to remember something and stopped what he was doing in time.
He picked up the bottle of red wine that the waiter had just brought to him and threw it hard against the wall.
"Bang---"
The broken pieces of the wine bottle shattered and scattered everywhere, and the scarlet liquid flowed all over the ground, making the entire ground look quite messy.
K wiped his shoulder, on which some red wine accidentally splashed, making him look a little embarrassed and no longer as calm as before.
He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down as much as possible, then took out his cell phone and made another call.
When the call is connected.
K suppressed his anger, gritted his teeth and spoke in a cold voice.
"Q."
“I failed here.”
"The ghost is completely out of control, and its exact location is currently unknown."
"The priest has also been targeted by the dogs. The best outcome would be to replace the leading dog, but that won't shut the ghost up forever."
Hear the result.
Q on the other end of the phone didn't seem too surprised and replied in a calm tone.
"K."
"It seems that your current situation is not much different from what the professor guessed."
"When I went to the professor for help earlier, as soon as I told him the general situation on your side, the professor immediately concluded that... the priest's execution would definitely fail and he would become a victim of the ghost's escape."
"According to the professor, a pure egoist like Ghost, who was willing to kill his wife and go to jail just to avoid my pursuit, is a very difficult type to control."
"Plus, with enough money to last the rest of his life, Ghost must be thinking of... using all sorts of tricks to evade the police."
"And the ghosts who are used to your methods and know that only the dead can't speak must have taken this into consideration and are always on guard against the possible execution during this period, and are trying to use it to help them escape."
"As for the pursuit from us, Ghost is not that worried."
"Because he knows very well that as long as he escapes this wave of police pursuit, he will have the key evidence in his hands and can use this thing to threaten us."
"Ghost is indeed an excellent criminal, able to act in time, but due to pure selfishness, he will bring extremely dangerous uncertainty to the organization."
"A double-edged sword, if used well, is the sharpest weapon, but if used poorly, it can become a real time bomb."
Speaking of this.
Q paused for two seconds, then took a long sigh and continued.
"K."
"The professor said one last thing, but I don't think you'd really want to hear it."
"Go ahead." When Q finished speaking, K immediately took over and signaled Q to say the last sentence.
Recall a moment.
Q seemed to be deliberately imitating the professor's tone, speaking in an extremely calm and mature voice.
"This is not K's level. He should have seen through Ghost's personality and general situation a long time ago."
"Perhaps it was his years of success that numbed his own sensitivity, or more likely... facing the leading policeman, K had lost so much that he was completely confused."
"But either way, I was disappointed by it during this time."
The words fell.
K clenched his fists even harder, and there was even a sound of bones colliding.
Because, ever since he joined the poker organization, the professor has always regarded him as the most outstanding student and a role model for others.
Until now...he said something that made him very disappointed, which undoubtedly made K feel indescribable disappointment.
Moreover, the person that everyone in the poker organization values and respects the most is the professor, who is like a godfather.
Sometimes, a simple word or comment from the professor can determine someone's future.
Looking at the red wine stains slowly dripping down the wall, K fell into silence, with an indescribable confusion in his eyes.
There was no sound from the other end of the phone for a long time.
Q put down his phone and took a look. After finding that it was not a signal problem, he sighed helplessly.
"K, I've already told you that you definitely don't want to hear this."
"Sometimes, people just need to listen to advice. Now I feel uncomfortable. Why do you want to do this?"
"And the professor was just joking. You know... you have been his most satisfied student over the years."
"If you have to blame someone, then you should blame J. It's all because of what he did..."
Before Q could finish.
K interrupted her subsequent words and spoke without any doubt.
"That's enough, Q."
"This matter is indeed my fault. Actually, if I think about it carefully, I should have gotten rid of the ghost earlier and buried Lan Cai'er's secret completely."
"Rather than collecting ghosts in the hope of expanding the drug distribution chain, this was the worst choice I could have made."
"When I return to the United States, I will personally apologize to the professor and thank him for his help this time."
Hearing this.
Q sighed again and spoke rather helplessly.
"Okay, this is your business."
"Anyway, you don't have to worry about the ghost for now. The professor and I will help you solve it. Find some time to go back to the United States."
"It won't be that difficult to find an opportunity to start over when the time comes."
I heard the busy tone.
K, who is currently in the hotel, squinted his eyes, took the phone away from his ear, and gently stroked the sterling silver ring on the middle finger of his left hand.
After standing there for a few seconds, he said softly with a self-deprecating expression on his face.
"Are you disappointed in me...?"
