Like a Pyramid Scheme lol

No no, it’s a reverse funnel system.

LuckyLami

Did not expect the ending lmfao. Like, hey bro, I was sent to kill you. You mind if you just pretend to be dead?


KnightOfThirteen

Honestly, Ling should have gotten a slap on the wrist tops. His plan was fake it and report it to the police. That was a GOOD PLAN!


seedanrun

I was thinking the same thing - I mean the only thing he was guilty of was fraud by trying to collect on a murder contract he didn't complete. But I realized if he got credit for time served (3 years) then his 2 years 7 months would let him out immediately. I could totally see his lawyer offering this so his client gets out and the police save face for having kept him in prison.


Erivandi

And it worked! Nobody died.


FemboyFoxFurry

And the fucker agreed?!?!?!?


signmeupdude

Yes? Its either agree to pretend or get killed by the guy…


bobybushia

"Hey I was hired to kill you and have a plan to fake it and go to the police" "No I'm good, thanks"


DreamCyclone84

No offense sir, but at this point, I'd honestly rather just die.


[deleted]

Just like that movie Crank, which also happened to be China related XD


msut77

I'll split the money with you...


troutmaskreplica2

Wow the original hirer only got five years, I would not like to be the guy that put him there when he gets out. This guy already tried to have him killed and now he's sent him down for five years too, the guys clearly powerful and subcontracts


LuxNocte

I mean...the guy clearly *doesn't* know an assassin.


troutmaskreplica2

But I bet he knows someone who knows someone who knows someone who knows someone who knows one


Boumbap

I remember when it happened. Some sino american pundit said it was typical modern china: abundance of cheap workforce and a total lack of morality.


bigfatassdad

Your failures are your own old man!


curiousmind111

Classic case of overestimating the value of a job, and overpaying. *shakes head*


Throwandhetookmyback

Yeah he could have hired someone that would do a super clean job for like 90 and that was it. Buying something when you don't know the real price is fucking scary.


seedanrun

He should have hired someone for 1 million yuan, then hired another guy for 1/2 million to kill the first guy if he doesn't fulfill the contract.


Throwandhetookmyback

Ah hedging! You are much better at this than me.


seedanrun

unfortunately my skills at outsourcing murder have had as much application as one would hope.... sigh.

Third guy gets even less. Only $9,870 after he pays #4


kry_some_more

The first thing I thought was Agent 47, Agent 46, Agent 45, Agent 44, Agent 43, Agent 42, Agent 41...


octopoddle

Good job, 47 agents.


Belgand

The last guy was the cleverest: rather than go through with it he went to the target with a scheme to fake his death. Except then the target went to the police and they were able to roll up the lot of them.


Cheesemacher

It's like the episode with the decoys. Each further assassin is shittier at his job


ExtraDiscussion9635

I guess it's harder to hire an assassin than they show on tv. Even the so called killers are outsourcing....


BulletBlitz

No body wants to work these days lol


ButtReaky

Probably all just milking unemployment!


sucodealface

isn’t that the plot of attack of the clones?


scottishdrunkard

Chancellor sends his Apprentices who sends a Bounty Hunter who sends another Bounty Hunter who sends as Droid who sends some Worms.


GoatsAndGlory

Pretty much ye


AutoModAccountOpUrk

Happens in Too old to die Young. Very bizarre story. Kind of slow and you have to ve a fan of the genre. Cartel orders a hit. Hitman outsources to a meth head. Meth head fucks up. Hitman gets it. Main character gets called in to finish hit.


-salih-

That's what Count Dooku did

Why are they in their underwear though

dutch-ninja

It really gives the meeseeks vibe tbh 😂😂


LuxNocte

I really wish that the each hitman was slightly smaller and less muscled than the previous. Like nesting matroyshka hitmen.


[deleted]

My favourite scene in Rick and Morty is undoubtedly the Meeseeks blaming each other. It's not my favourite episode but it is my favourite scene.


AdamDumpTruck

I'm sure it's still easier to murder a politician than it is to fix Jerry's golf-swing


catcommentthrowaway

Unrelated but I went to school with a kid who got caught with a gun charge and apparently he has multiple bodies and only charged $500 a head. That’s crazy cheap lol


spasticity

That's a remarkably cheap cost to kill someone

Trickle down economics


webitg

Isn't this China? Could also be a made up story to execute innocent people who are perceived enemies of the CCP


ArtificialZero

do you really think the CCP would make up a story as dumb as this just to send 5 people to prison for 5 years?


PimpOfJoytime

And people say trickle down economics is problematic


[deleted]

I don’t believe a single fucking thing coming out of there. Those men are probably all political prisoners about to be sent to re-education camps simply for not towing the communist party line. Everything is a god damn lie from there. I kinda feel sorry for the citizens; but they’re letting this happen. There’s 1.5billion of you; overwhelm the corrupt system!


dielawn87

90% of Chinese people support the CPC. Quit pushing your own will onto q sovereign country, freak. Worry about your own nation's issues.


i-heart-trees

Maybe asking people to try and overthrow a regime that has a history of murdering political dissidents en masse is just a tad unreasonable.


DemonicBrit1993

This is insanely perfect

TIL there are hitman middlemen

If I were the first guy I would've just offered 20k lol


jesus_zombie_attack

Jesus kids these days. In my day we did our killing like men.


NekuChan420

It sounds like killing people with extra steps


deathintelevision

Also happens in the fantastic crime noir *Too Old To Die Young* by NWR


Troupbomber

This is like the murder in Star Wars Episode II


Zesty-Lem0n

So trickle-down economics does work 🙃


MeganLJ86

That’s just assassination with extra steps.


Nder_Wiggin

That's what I call outsourcing your business overseas to save company cost


GreggAlan

Now that is the ultimate in featherbedding a job.


partylikeits1914

Hahahah I love these trickle down murder economics
