LBOT-18

Zhan was speechless as he smoked a cigarette and checked his chest in the mirror.

Even after two days, the red marks could still be seen here and there.

Because of how many times Yibo bit and sucked his nipples, the size of his nipples appeared to have changed slightly.

Wang Yibo had a strong obsession with nipples, possibly because he grew up not feeling loved by his mother.

When Zhan touched it, he felt tingling and pain, and he cursed.

“As long as I’ve lived, I’ve never seen such a man…”

That was all. At first, even if he said that he was reluctant, later he moaned and moved his waist. He even wrapped his legs around Wang Yibo’s body.

His mind should be lighter when he checked the whereabouts of the object, but thinking about it, it was impossible.

Wang Yibo was busy after that day and didn’t show up for two days.

Zhan felt relieved that he had been fortunate. He sent a picture to Kim Joon, requesting the same USB so that once the issue was resolved, he could rest easy.

He hoped that there would be no more body entanglement until then.

It was hot inside the house when he came out of the bedroom. All of the air conditioners were shut down.

A vehicle that came to work on the swimming pool collided with a nearby electric pole and the power was cut.

He went downstairs and stood in front of the living room window. Outside, the workers were busy working.

There were no signs of bullets piercing the windows. The bullet was used by snipers due to its low tolerance and fast bullet speed.

The morning of that day was not even windy, and the sky was clear with not a single cloud in the sky, making it ideal for aiming at the target.

However, the bullet was aimed at Zhan’s right shoulder, not his left chest.

Zhan didn’t think it was a mistake. Perhaps that person intended to harm Mo Xuanyu.

Mo Xuanyu was the only grandson of Mo Yu, the godfather of a Singapore organization with ties to the shipping group.

And if Mo Xuanyu was hurt, Wang Yibo, who was now protecting him, would face difficulty.

He wondered who had given the order. He remembered the faces of the family members he saw at the Chairman’s house one by one.

“Xuanyu!”

After some thought, he heard a familiar voice behind his back.

When he turned around, Wang Haoxuan waved his hand and approached him.

Zhan received a call in the morning and stated that he would be unable to leave the house for some time, so Haoxuan came to the house immediately.

“Is it here? But there’s no bullet mark?”

Wang Haoxuan, who approached, smiled as he looked through the window.

Zhan could only guess why he had come.

“You look very happy.”

“Not happy. I’m disappointed.”

He turned around to make sure no one was there and lowered his voice.

“Director Wang should have been shot.”

Zhan chuckled. Haoxuan seemed to be at ease with himself by saying things like that casually.

He was much more energetic than Zhan remembered seeing at home. After all, it was difficult to survive among brothers like fox.

Zhan and Haoxuan moved upstairs after asking the staff for a car. Then, in private, he asked about Wen Chao’s well-being.

“Wen Chao? That bastard must be going crazy now.”

“Why?”

Wang Haoxuan leaned on the sofa on the second floor and proudly crossed his legs.

“His father is a drug dealer. You know that drug? The one we took last time.”

“Yeah.”

“But then there this employee. After all, this employee took the working kids.”

“Employee? Who?”

“I’m not sure. They’re minors so that employee must have taken them to the police station and ran. But then they got a call from the police. To take the kids.”

Zhan hardened his face as he listened. His tight jaw was clenched and his eyes were on the verge of bursting.

“You said… minors? Weren’t they taken to the shelter?”

“You’re so naive. They are kids with nowhere to go. Because his father knew a lot of powerful people, they called him right away to take the kids. That’s why you need power. Even the police are powerless in the face of money and power.”

Wang Haoxuan laughed arrogantly and proudly as if he were at the top of power.

Zhan was at a loss for words. The children’s eyes that stared at him come to mind.

“What happened to them? Are they working… again?”

“How can you trust kids who ran away? They’ll be dealt with.”

“Dealt?”

“You don’t need to know.”

Haoxuan laughed it off without further explanation.

Zhan knew what it was. He remembered hearing a story as a child.

It was said that useless children’s organs were taken or used as sexual tools for adults. Alternatively, a man who was visiting his mother told him that he would become dog food.

Zhan initially thought it was a joke, but when he found a child hand his age who was working with him rolling around in the dog kennel, he realized it was real.

On the other hand, Zhan had nightmares for a long time due to his fear of becoming dog food.

Zhan’s eyes, which were recalling old memories, became cold. He should have sent them somewhere other than the police in the first place.

No, he should have pretended not to know from the beginning. He shouldn’t have driven the already miserable kids into their death.

He got up from his seat.

“What. Where are you going?”

“I’m sorry. I have a bad headache, so I think I need to get some sleep today.”

Haoxuan got up from his seat and was annoyed.

“What. Then what do I do?”

“I can’t go out for a while anyway. You know that. I’m so sorry.”

Zhan smiled at him and hurriedly into the bedroom.

When Haoxuan was left alone, he pouted and cursed to himself.

He was irritated that he had to come for him, and Zhan then left him to sleep because he was sick. He kicked the leg of the table with his foot, closed the door, and walked out.

Zhan walked back and forth in the bedroom while smoking an electronic cigarette.

He became irritated and rubbed his face.

He opened the safe, took a piece of paper from it, and unfolded it. It was a location in the house where CCTV was installed.

He placed the paper in the safe under the bed after checking the exact location with his eyes and memorizing it.

He then took a small flashlight and an iron rod from the safe and hid them in his clothes.

Zhan went downstairs and found the housekeeper.

She was preparing dinner for tonight with the staff in the kitchen.

“Xuanyu. What’s the matter?”

“It’s quite noisy outside. How long will it take to set up the swimming pool?”

“They’re finishing up right now. The electricity will be turned on soon.”

“There doesn’t appear to be any emergency power here…”

“Yes. This is the first time this has occurred since the house was built… I was perplexed as well.”

“I see… Actually, I’m not sure I’ll be able to eat dinner because I’m sick. I’m going to take some medicine and go to bed.”

“Oh, my. Do you want me to make you some soup?”

“No, it’s fine. When I’m sick, it’s best to get plenty of rest. Please inform the Director if he is looking for me.”

Zhan added that once he fell asleep, no one should disturb him. That meant not to look for him even if Wang Yibo came.

She smiled and replied that she understood.

“If you need anything, please feel free to contact me downstairs.”

“Yes, thank you.”

After saying his gratitude, Zhan went upstairs. He entered the bedroom, closed the door, and lowered all of the curtains.

He went to the bathroom after putting a blanket on the pillow and making it appear as if someone was lying down.

The windowless bathroom was pitch black when the door was shut.

After turning on the flashlight, he climbed up to the bathroom railing and removed the ventilator.

He checked the passage with the flashlight, and it was quite narrow. Before leaving, he thought it would be fun to see if he could get stuck in the passage and die.

He threw the flashlight inside and used his arm strength to climb up.

He crawled forward and lifted his lower body. The thick layer of dust tickled his nose and made him want to sneeze.

He put the flashlight in his mouth and moved forward slowly, holding his breath as much as he could.

Sweat poured like rain as he squirmed and moved like a caterpillar in a narrow ventilation hole in hot weather.

Fortunately, the passage that curves to the right was much wider.

Breathing a sigh of relief, he curled up and moved forward.

Sweat ran down his face, stinging his eyes. After a while of crawling, light poured in from the front.

The large ventilator fan had stopped functioning. He pulled the fan out and pushed his face out.

He took a deep breath and breathed in some fresh air. Apart from the power outage, the cameras on either side of the vents were functional.

Damn it. He knew it.

He drew out an iron rod about the width of his waist and pressed the button.

The rod’s length gradually increased. He stretched his arm, touched the CCTV with the tip of the stick, and changed the directions. The other side received the same treatment.

Then he dangled himself from the railing as far as he could, jumped down, and rolled himself.

He leaned against the building’s outer wall, lowered himself, and looked around to see if there was anywhere he could go outside.

Fortunately, there were few cameras around, and when he turned around the corner, the camera was unable to capture him. Furthermore, it was all covered in rose vines.

Zhan took a long, deep breath as he looked at the wall in front of him. It was high, but he thought he could climb it.

He ran, jumped, grabbed the wall with his hands, and climbed it with his feet.

He hadn’t exercised in a few days and had been playing and eating peacefully, and his body seemed to be the first to notice.

He felt that his movements were slower than usual. He climbed and jumped to the other side. He looked around, but everything was quiet.

All he could see were people working on the construction of a utility pole in the distance.

Zhan stepped back from the wall and rolled under the van in which the workers who had come to build the swimming pool were riding.

After a while, with the sound of the door opening, people came out one by one. Staff voices could also be heard.

He could hear everything about the construction period and the electricity. The car door opened and closed, and the engine began to turn on.

The car moved, and Zhan who had crawled down under it disappeared as well.

“What’s going on?”

The secretary made a troubled face as he reported that a guest had arrived, and Yibo now seemed to understand why.

Hu Ting, who had been looking down at the nameplate that say Managing Director Wang Yibo, slowly turned around.

In comparison to what he saw at home, her makeup was darker and her clothes were fancier. She sat on the sofa, and Yibo took off his jacket and summoned the secretary to bring her tea.

“No tea. We’re not on such friendly terms that we’d drink tea, are we?”

“Okay, then. Get to the point.”

“What are you doing?”

“Explain so I can understand.”

“Why are you touching President Wen? Don’t you know who that person is?”

Yibo took out a cigarette from his silver case. He turned on the light and sat back on the sofa.

President Wen admitted that he sent the money because Hu Ting requested it. President Wen didn’t know why; he just did it because he was asked to.

There was no evidence to back up the claim because the people who received the money had left. But, since Bowen had sent their man, it was only a matter of time before they caught them.

Yibo planned to rip off their limbs and kill them if they were caught.

“What do you think, mother?”

“What?”

“Don’t hate me too much. I like you mother.”

Hu Ting was dumbfounded as she looked at him. Then she sneered.

Unsurprisingly, what Wang Yibo said next was very spiteful.

“You’re greedy, cunning, and have a lot of similarities to me. You also like the color blue. I would have loved you more if Mother had removed Haoxuan.”

A vein appeared on the back of her clutch-holding hand.

“Is that what you want to say to an adult?”

“I’m sorry if it made you feel bad. I apologize.”

“You’re good at apologizing even when you don’t even want to.”

After rubbing off the cigarette, Yibo smiled and leaned on the sofa with his arms crossed.

He wished to be loved by her when he was a child. He had no recollection of being loved by his mother, so he attempted to score some points for his stepmother, who appeared unexpectedly, but her response was cold.

He wasn’t upset in any way. That was how the world works.

From her point of view, children without a drop of her blood could not be loved.

Furthermore, even when he was young, Yibo was not the type of person who could be loved.

His method of attracting attention was also bizarre, and Chairman Wang considered taking his son to a psychiatrist numerous times.

It was no surprise that he would have exempted Yibo from military service as well. Mental and physical disorders.

The excuse was mental and physical disorders, but Chairman Wang might have been worried that Yibo would join the army and start shooting people.

“I will give you a chance. If you’re not going to be able to handle it perfectly, tell the truth now.”

“I don’t understand what you mean.”

“Don’t do this. If I found out, how are you going to handle it?”

Hu Ting chuckled. She then instructed him to look for it anywhere he could.

Perhaps Yibo will find no evidence of the incident anywhere in the world.

She found them this morning and removed all of them. Furthermore, the news that Mo Xuanyu had been attacked had also been leaked to Singapore.

Hu Ting stood up from her seat, and Yibo raised his head and stared intently at her.

“Mother. What were our house rules?”

Hu Ting was silent.

“The family does not harm each other under any circumstances.”

Upon hearing this, Hu Ting snorted.

“Did you do that to Haoxuan?”

Yibo’s face had lost its smile.

“However, the injured party’s disposition is carried out according to the victim’s judgment and decision, and no other family members are involved.”

Hu Ting was unapologetic.

“Does that mean it’s okay if I kill you?”

“No. It means even if I die, Haoxuan has to be the one who kills me.”

“Don’t play with words. No matter what you say, I have no idea.”

Hu Ting smiled leisurely, but when she saw Wang Yibo, who was so casual, she became increasingly anxious.

Wang Yibo had a history of bullying others since he was a child. It was the same when he grew up, so she was filled with rage every time she looked at him.

She needs to use everything she has to bring him down before he bites her neck off.

On the day Yibo succeeded and climbed to the top, she and her son Wang Haoxuan would be the first to be killed.
