The Wired Red Wild Card Part 5, also called Chapter 81, is the eighty-second chapter of the Black Lagoon manga. It was originally released in May 2010.
Plot[]
Feng Yifei's jaw drops in shock as she learns from her superior Colonel Ma that she is to die as a traitor in Roanapur to cover the Chinese People's Liberation Army's tracks exposing PLA cyber warfare. Second Lieutenant Yeyin calls for Ma since Lieutenant General Liu has called for him, so Ma ends the call and bids goodbye. Running out of her motel room, Feng stumbles onto the sidewalk, surprising nearby pedestrians. As they look at her, Feng pulls out her pistol and paranoidly orders them to back off, scaring them. At the Lagoon Company dry dock, Benny prepares several items to take on the Black Lagoon, and Revy says that she is taking the car. When Revy badmouths Benny's girlfriend Jane for being a "bonafide fuck freak," Jane remarks that she thought about paying Revy to be a purser since she made a lot of money this time.
As Revy gets into the driver's seat, Jane then jokes that she could take Rock on her adventure with Benny, making Revy grab her by the collar and sternly telling her that she could rock Jane's world. Revy then claims that she played the role of a man in prison when she "tamed all those frustrated dykes" often, letting go of Jane's collar and shocking her. As Revy leaves, Benny asks the speechless Jane if she is okay. Elsewhere in Roanapur, Park Seung vomits on the ground at an outdoor dining place, and Montero advises him to drink some tea instead. Talking with them, Captain Yang asks them if his group truly knows what they are doing, to which Montero simply replies that he can just hire someone else instead of wasting their time.
Showing them a picture of Feng, Yang informs them that she is the target, adding that she may be using her real name Li Xinlin. As the brothers look at the photograph, Montero rhetorically asks if it is overkill to hire his brothers just to kill the ex-spy. Yang replies that it is the PLA's policy to be absolutely sure, clarifying that the brothers are the only people under contract to them that can act quickly. Rob remarks that he is cool with the job and asks Park Seung, who agrees, so Montero speaks on their behalf and reminds Yang that they need dollars and not yuan. They get up to leave, but the confused Yang tells them to wait since he wants to ask if they are actually real brothers.
Bursting into laughter, the brothers remark that it took him 34 minutes to ask that question, and Rob then informs Yang that they have different mothers and fathers but have genetic overlap. As the brothers drive away in their Humvee, Yang is quietly baffled since there were only three of them and he did not see their fourth brother. Driving to the Yellow Flag, Rock remarks that he feels bad for Dutch since their recent job was cancelled, with Revy recalling that they were supposed to transport man who robbed a bank in Indonesia but got killed. Rock then wonders why Jane chose the Lagoon Company's PT boat for cruising since she could easily afford a more luxurious boat, but Revy does not care and answers that Jane is cool with it and that is what matters. Rock agrees and parks the car, and suddenly a pistol is put to his head. Declaring that she knew he hung out around the bar, Feng elaborates that she does not want to hurt anyone, prompting Revy to prepare her Cutlass pistol to Rock's shock.
