I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today-Chapter 1280: Extra Story of Du Fu 6 (An Additional Update for Yet Another Request)

Despite spending most of his time on the ship, Du Lai had heard quite a few rumors about Fu Lisheng.

It was said that this man made his fortune in Singapore and then his influence gradually spread throughout Southeast Asia. At its peak, even government officials in Singapore would give him a wide berth.

With such a vast influence, his business was naturally expansive. He not only monopolized the local gambling and shipping industries, but also secretly controlled those unspeakable trades, such as arms smuggling, leaving nothing behind. Consequently, he had many enemies, yet Fu Lisheng seemed to have nine lives, surviving several close calls without a scratch.

Perhaps there are indeed karmic consequences in this world. As Fu Lisheng’s business grew larger, his family remained dwindling. Several wives died of illness, leaving him with only a single son.

This only son was ultimately kidnapped by enemies, and his daughter-in-law was not spared either. The couple were skinned alive and dismembered, with the video footage sent to the media, causing a sensation at the time.

Since then, Fu Lisheng gradually faded from public view.

Though his power was still significant, he seemed to intentionally reduce his presence. No one knew about his health, his whereabouts, whether he remarried or had children. He seemed to become a hermit, or more appropriately described as a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, silently watching over his territory.

Du Lai was self-aware. He knew some tricks and was somewhat savvy, but to provoke such a powerful figure, wasn’t it asking for a quick death?

Originally, he thought that his mentor approached him to target some wealthy merchant’s collection or a museum exhibit, but unexpectedly, it was aimed at the legendary figure. How could Du Lai not be shocked? 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Perhaps he was too obvious, so his mentor chuckled, "Don’t show such an expression, Du Lai. I don’t do anything I’m not confident about. This time, we have a major player backing us up. The cars, personnel, weapons, and the plan for sneaking in are all arranged. We’re just missing someone with good skills. What’s that old saying? We are prepared, just lacking the east wind."

Du Lai hesitantly whispered, "Mentor, if we target someone else and get caught, at worst we’ll serve a few years inside. But to mess with Fu Lisheng..."

We’d fear being skinned, dismembered, and subjected to eighteen types of torture one by one.

Such a person has endless ways to torment you.

"I know, of course," the mentor said, "If I wasn’t fully confident, I wouldn’t have taken this job. Don’t worry, Fu Lisheng’s lair has already been discovered by us. He has a treasury filled with antiques and famous paintings. Taking just a few items could earn billions! To prevent hackers, he uses the oldest locks. As long as you’re willing, someone will assist you when the time comes, setting up for you to go in as a gardener or something else. Your personal safety is absolutely assured, so you can rest easy."

Du Lai frowned without a word.

His mentor watched him for a while, then raised his hand to gently pat his shoulder, "No rush, you can consider it. This ship won’t dock for another 7 days. If you decide by then, you can disembark with me."

Du Lai nodded slightly, "Mentor, if I were alone, I’d take this deal. But Xiaodou and Xiaomiao are still young, and Fu Lisheng is notoriously ruthless. Whoever offends him doesn’t just suffer themselves; their family suffers too. He’s capable of implicating entire families, so I have to be cautious."

"I understand," the mentor said, "But many things in this world come with both opportunity and risk. You aren’t the only skilled person out here. If you’re not going, others will surely take the chance. Consider carefully, Du Lai."

Du Lai nodded, packed the clippings and magazines his mentor gave him into the prop box, and said, "I will think about it carefully."
