The old killer Ma Heng, nicknamed Lao Ma, has been working for half his life. His legs are lame, his anger has weakened, and his courage is not as strong as when he was young. He originally just wanted to get his pension, find a place to drink, listen to vinyl, and have less rain. But the union window told him: Your effective target horny contribution is 5.9 Ounces in total, which is still 0.1 Ounces short of the retirement threshold.

As a result, an old killer who just wanted to retire was forced to become the temporary contact person for collective debt collection.
