《THE CUNNING VIGILANTE》1. Careless Death

Advertisement

A child born in the lion's den. A child with the mother who resembles a lotus born in the swamp. A child raised by a bunch of monsters. Or so, a child with an intelligence that's way out of reach.

Chen Li Jie is known for being the phantom criminal in the 21st century. A poison expert, amazing hacker, terrific beater, even a good doctor! He can even stitch everything, if you got your hand separated, he can fix it for you. If you wanted to be operated, then he was considered as the best surgeon in the world. Even the greatest doctor in the world can't compete with him.

But, if you provoked him, he will butcher your body and sell it in a good price. Since he killed that body, why waste such a good money? After all, many people still needed this body. It would be such a waste if he let it rot in the ground. At least, he could make a living with it. Maybe in the hospital, this body may be of a good use. That's how evil Li Jie is. Everything is highly possible for his golden hand, except creating life of course. He is a killer, but he surely doesn't kill anyone just because he wanted to. Only those people whom he assumed had a black nature will be the one he had to eliminate. For example, an official in the goverment who keeps citizen's money in their pockets, a cocky person who steps into lowly servants body like stray dogs, or someone who thinks he's mighty that he can control anyone. At least they will atone their sins by lending their body parts for those people who are in need. Lie Jie's an evil villain, but a cunning vigilante.

Well, a person like him didn't have a good background either. He was born to be a criminal. He even grew up in jail. Yes! Indeed! Stained walls, steel bars, cold bed, it was indeed a miserable life for a baby such as himself to grow up in a filthy place, as well as her mother who was raped by a certain police officer.

What a nasty life for a 24 year old lady. But, who can defend her? She can't even afford food. She was penniless. She didn't have anything, or anyone. Chen Lian Hua was a lowly criminal with no relatives to save her. Even Lian Hua's arrestment was unfair! She was accused of killing her boss with a kitchen knife. Just because she was the first one who saw the victim's body while carrying her kitchen knife, she was pointed out. Yes! Her boss' wife pointed her to be the killer! She didn't do anything! She was in the middle of her cooking!

And the worst part is, the real killer was her boss' wife herself! The boss' wife's intention was to kill her husband and get all his money and belongings, even his inheritance. A greedy wife like that should be punished and should rot in jail! But instead, a lowly and a good servant such as Chen Lian Hua was the one who suffered. She cursed that wife to the bottom of her heart.

She thought, being in jail was better than living in the basement for the cell have a comfortable bed and clean white blanket. She can eat three meals a day without working, unlike in her boss' manor who maltreated her everyday that she can't even eat properly.

"This is better," she thought.

But, it didn't end her misery there. She thought that she suffered enough, however there was even worse. She got raped by a police officer when she was taken to her cell. And of course, no one cared.

She got pregnant inside the jail, her life fucked up that she wanted to die, but that time came. After the nine months of her labor, she died while giving birth to her son inside the cell, thankful to her thug male friends who took pity and and helped her with her labor. Even though the baby in her womb was the son of the lecherous rapist, she knew that it wasn't the child's fault that her life fucked up. She loved her child more than anything despite the circumstances. Before she died, she asked for a favor from her friends. She doesn't want her child to starve and die, so she asked them to take care of him and raise him as their own son. They named him Chen Li Jie. He will soon become a beautiful man with a great personality.

Was it great though? Nah! Just a sarcasm! They were thugs! None of them had a great personality to begin with. They wanted this child to get revenge with this sickly society. And of course, they wanted this child to be the best assassin in the whole world. They all loved this child, and wanted him to be their son. And of course! Son should take his fathers' talents.

They raised Chen Li Jie with full of love. Even they are thugs, they still have a heart.

He have 6 fathers, all of them were all intelligent and amazing in terms of their own skills. Chang Bao is the criminal who had an exceptional martial art skills. He was known for being a gruesome killer who was responsible for the tunnel massacre back few years ago. Dead bodies piled up in the tunnel with him standing on top, but got arrested while escaping and accidentally stepped on a banana peel. He got caught after that.

Jin Ping, is a talented hacker. He was rumored that he could go through all kinds of systems, codes, passcodes, technology control, and complicated security codes. But the thing is, it was not a rumor at all. He can do all those things without complications. However he got arrested because, when he hacked a certain account, he forgot to turn off his phone. His phone was, well, he never thought that it was connected to the building billboard and accidentally pressed the play button. It was porn by the way, all the citizens saw that video that made their mouth left hang open. He got arrested because agents traced the phones location. He never turned off the phone. Why? Because he was petrified! He can't even move a single finger!

Jiang Hua is a dynamite surgeon. He was not a criminal to begin with. But, he got arrested because of a stupid mistake. One day he was operating a patient, he thought that it was the patient's heart that has to be replaced. Sadly, it was the liver. The patient died after that and he got arrested.

Cheung Chao was a chemist, also a poison expert. He could make poison in plants, or even elements. But, he got caught after putting a poison in the victim's glass. That supposed victim was an agent that kept spying him. Too bad he got caught.

Min Zhe, a skilled robber. He was known for his skillful hands, tricky and poisonous like a snake. He can steal things without being noticed. He can grab a jewelry with his lightning speed hands. But he got arrested because he got accused being a pervert. He thought it was the phone he grabbed, it turns out that it was a girl's underwear. That guy that he supposed to rob was a pervert who robbed the girl's underwear. Now, he finally learned his mistake.

Last is Tu Fai, who do you think he is? He was once a military soldier and an outstanding top shooter. He have too many awards, he even got a gold trophy in hunting when he was in high school. That's why he had a lot of fangirls even then until he became a soldier, not until he was accused of killing the general. There were so many people who were so envious with his talent that they wanted him down. He was oblivious back then. He thought that the people around him were his friends. Tu Fai thought that they were loyal to him, yet those were just snake faces. Ignorance led him to downfall.

All of them got a terrible fate, but huh! They will never tell Li Jie on how they ended up in the cell. Especially Chang Bao and Jin Ping, what a shameless way to be arrested.

For a five year old boy, Li Jie was a genius and clever kid. He could do college maths and how to hack systems, even the complicated ones. Of course, Jin Ping, the Hacker of the century taught him. At the age of 8, he learned martial arts. If he was in the common dojo, then he should be a black belter by now. Even the notorious Chang Bao was delighted of his skills. In the age of 12, he learned poisoning and combining chemicals. One day, two prisoners bullied him. He then killed those two prisoners by drinking them with hydrogen peroxide. It looks like water so who knows? sneaky Cheung Hao taught him so, of course! It should be high class! In the age of 15, he hacked the system together with Min Zhe. Sometimes they even disguised as a police officer. Security codes were just chickens to Li Jie, he can open through any security passwords in just mere seconds. They go out in the outside world and robbed some diamonds, and then they went back to the jail after they finished.

They sell what they have robbed in the black market. For a boy with the age of 14, he was a billionaire. Though he still stayed in the cell but he can go in and out if he wanted to. This cell was his main home, his Mom went through a lot here and even gave birth to him here. Even though he was a son of a rapist, he didn't care. She had her Mom, even she was not by his side anymore.

Sometimes, he was hired to be a surgeon. One time a person dismembered his arm, he stitched it perfectly and without any error. Nerves were highly connected, he even fixed the veins perfectly. No one could ever stitch someone's hand except for him. A hand made with miracle!

"Wow! What an awsome doctor you are Mr. Chen! Where did you get that talent?! Who taught you?" the man who hired him exclaimed. He was dumbstruck that he cried when he looked at the person whose arm was being fixed. Even the recent greatest doctor can't compare! Of course, Jiang Hua, the former greatest doctor taught him that. If Jiang Hua was not dumb, he would have been stitching bodies in the hospital by now.

"That's a secret sir. Can't tell a personal thing. Of course, i'm a criminal after all!" Li Jie laughed like a madman. No one knew he was a criminal. He didn't care to tell others too. What's the point? He lived in the cell! For the age of 15, he had a height of 175cm. His undercut ebony hair and creamy skin made him look flawless. With big seductive eyes, straight nose, plump lips, broad shoulders, he was an angel in disguise! The man who hired him didn't knew he was a criminal so he was in an utter shock after hearing that.

"So Mr. Liu, where's the money? Stitching a dismembered arm is quite a price you know? Nervous system is quite delicate and complicated as what you think." Li Jie crossed his arms, looking at Mr. Liu with pride. His aura was different from before, from an angel to a poisonous snake. One look and it could kill you.

"Of course Mr. Chen, how much is it?"

Li Jie let out a small evil grin and run his fingers to the unconscious body's neck. Mr. Liu got shivers when he saw Chen's evil grin. Of course he knew, this person was formidable.

"1 billion."

"What?! Are you crazy?!"

"Of course not Mr. Liu! I'm not from the mental hospital." He still had that evil grin and killer eyes when he uttered those making Mr. Liu frightened.

"How about 500 million? It's many right?" Mr. Liu forcefully lifted up the corner of his lips, cold sweat drenched in his sideburns. He never thought that this boy in the age of 15 was clever as a fox. He thought that after this arm was stitched, he could trick him. But hell! This one is deadly! Who the hell suggested him to be the surgeon anyway?

"Curse you Tu Fai! Why did you bring a formidable boy here!?" Mr. Liu yelled in the phone. On the other hand, Tu Fai just smirked and pretended that he didn't knew anything.

"You said anyone who can stitch right? Then i brought you the perfect person. But Mr. Liu, you never asked what kind of person." A snake Tu Fai on the move! Tu Fai then hanged up. Well, he was once tricked before, what's wrong with him tricking another person? After all, this person was the one who made Tu Fai sent into jail. We can say, it's a truce.

"You know Mr. Liu, you're a pea brain, aren't you? How could you ask a person who treats you as an enemy? Are you...hit by a rock or something?" Li Jie walked around the room, touching the finest furniture made from exquisite wood.

"HAHAHA! Not interesting at all!" Like a beautiful psychopath, Li Jie laughed until his stomach run out of air.

"You know! I could stitch your head with this person's head. But! You cannot wake up anymore. What a pity!" Mr. Liu clenched his fist. Hiding the fright and frustration behind his dignity, he faced the young boy. Where did this boy live? Why did he know Tu Fai? Mr. Liu kept asking these questions. But, he sure knows if he act recklessly, his head would fly separately from his body.

"However, if you give one billion now, I will spare you. If you're money is insufficient, then you could give you house and car instead!"

Mr. Liu had no choice. He gave 500million with his house and car. That person who was unconscious was Mr. Liu's son. Because of his envy, he lost all his money and lived with poverty. Even if Li Jie tried to kill this scum, there was someone who was waiting for his death. Li Jie knew where his father Tu was. With a sniper gun, Li Jie sure knows his father Tu will kill Mr. Liu without hesitation. If Mr. Liu didn't hand the money, bullet will smash his brain.

Oh well, they were criminals and they lived in the cell. Even if they got reported they will still be in the cell. The cell was his home, with his 6 fathers who took care of him when he was a baby until now. His Mom died in there, so that place is special to him.

Now that he is seventeen, his skill was on the top level and one of the best assassins in the world. His fathers were proud of him and Lie Jie was happy and proud of his achievements.

However, when he felt his throat dried, he went into the old table to get a glass of water, letting his thirst subside. Sadly, he mistook the hydrogen peroxide as water since he forgot to place the Hydrogen peroxide in a safer place and left its glass beside the pitcher. He drank it and poisoned himself. He could feel that his stomach was burning. His vision was spinning until he collapsed to the ground.

The 6 fathers were startled by the noise so they immediately rushed to Lie Jie's cell.

"Chen Li Jie!" His fathers screamed. Yet all his consciousness was blocked until he couldn't feel anything. In just mere seconds, his life ended. He was killed by his own creation.
