LBOT-31

A fishy smell gushed out when he undid the ribbon and opened the lid.

Xiao Zhan paused. There’s no way. No way…

Xiao Zhan’s face hardened after fully opening the lid.

He could see black hair and bloodied eyelashes and the bridge of the nose down below.

What was in the box was Wen Chao’s head. The cut skin was clearly cut while he was still alive.

Wang Yibo was still sitting there when he looked outside. He placed the cover back on and headed out with it.

Across the lawn, he approached Wang Yibo and placed a box in front of him.

“What is this?”

“You asked me to kill him.”

“…”

The stare peering up at him briefly startled him.

“Why? Are you sad to see him die?”

Zhan wasn’t sad, but if he claims he is, Yibo looks like he was about to slash his throat.

Xiao Zhan took up the box, intending to burn or bury it.

“Where are you taking it?”

“You said it was a gift. If you gave it to me, I think you can ignore what I’m gonna do about it.”

“Aren’t you going to hug me and cry?”

The sarcastic tone was cold.

Why did he kill Wen Chao? Because Wen Rouhan died, was he considered useless?

Or was it because he left a mark on his neck? The second guess was plausible based on what Wang Yibo was doing.

Did Wen Chao find out? He would never have imagined that his head would be cut just for flirting.

Xiao Zhan had no idea why Wang Yibo was acting this way. He’s met a number of people who were similar to him.

They treated people as though they were toys, but morbidly disliked being touched by others. However, it did not last long. Xiao Zhan had no idea what would happen if Yibo lost interest in him. Instead of Wen Chao, his head might be in the box next time.

“I’ll bury it. There’s nothing good about being seen in the public eye.”

Phwwwwwhhhttt- Yibo whistled.

Soon after, a dog ran from the back of the house. It was the shepherd who attacked Xiao Zhan before.

Wang Yibo grabbed the box and pulled Wen Chao’s head out and tossed it on the lawn.

Xiao Zhan confirmed that Wen Chao’s mouth had been mutilated. The nose and eyes were fine, but the lips had been battered to the point where it was impossible to recognize the shape.

Meanwhile, the dog bit the head and returned the way it came. Wen Chao’s head in front of him disappeared in an instant.

“There’s nothing to bury now, right?”

Xiao Zhan was at a loss for words when he saw Wang Yibo asking with a bright smile.

====

Xiao Zhan came out from the shower wearing only one pair of pants and stood in front of the mirror.

He put the ointment he’d brought with him on his nipples with his fingertips. He couldn’t stand it because of how much it stung every time his clothes came into contact with it.

He cursed and applied it to the other side, and when he looked in the mirror, he was astonished. It hurts to touch, yet the sensation was strange.

Xiao Zhan thought that his body had only sensations. It was the only thing that felt good when touched.

However, last night…

He suddenly remembered the scene where Wang Yibo was stroking and caressing him, and then he shook his head vigorously.

He looked down at his swelling nipples with a bitter face and put his shirt back on.

This will be over in seven days. Until then, he didn’t want to get involved with Wang Yibo anymore.

He stepped outside, put on the air conditioner, opened the storage box, and pulled out a yoga mat. He laid it out in front of the window and crossed his legs.

When the music was played, the sound of water mixed with the sound of a singing ball made his complicated mind more and more relaxed.

He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, cleansing his thoughts of the events of the last few days.

The minuscule vibration sound is communicated to the body’s deep cells, relaxing and alleviating tension.

[Look carefully, who’s dick you’re eating right now.]

He grimaced with his closed eyelids. Last night’s scene with Wang Yibo panting behind him like a dog was replayed in his thoughts.

Xiao Zhan vigorously shook his head. The scenes that sprang to mind, on the other hand, were never easily gone.

He eventually became irritated, opened his eyes, and turned off the music.

“Fuck…”

He got up from his seat and his phone rang.

He checked the phone he had thrown on the sofa, and a number he had never seen before was displayed.

There were two cell phones, and the numbers were known by three people: Wang Yibo, Wang Haoxuan, and Wen Chao.

Since Wen Chao is dead, there are now two people left. He pressed the answer button and brought it to his ear.

Xiao Zhan remained silent, as did the other party.

Xiao Zhan wanted to hang up as the silence was getting longer. Then an unfamiliar voice was heard.

[Xuanyu?]

He remained silent, so the other person talked to him again.

[I am Chairman Wang.]

His eyes shook and his hand holding the phone became stronger. Xiao Zhan checked that the bedroom door was closed once more and moved inside.

“Yes, hello… Chairman.”

[Are you busy? I’m calling to see if you have time today. I’d like to meet you if you don’t mind.]

Xiao Zhan did not respond immediately.

Perhaps he noticed. Or maybe Alan, this damn bastard, saw him leave and went to Chairman Wang. All kinds of thoughts ran through his mind.

[Is it difficult?]

After some consideration, Xiao Zhan responded that he understood.

He looked outside after ending the call and noticed dark clouds slowly falling over the blue sky.

He tried to shake the ominous feeling that was washing over him and went to Wang Yibo to tell him the news.

====

Xiao Zhan looked around his dressing room while Wang Yibo was choosing a tie in front of the showcase.

In the dressing room, there were numerous similar shirts and pants, reminiscent of a clothing store, and accessories such as shoes, belts, cufflinks, and watches were as diverse as if a store had been relocated.

Kim Joon, who is obsessed with clothes, would have gone insane if he had seen it.

Wang Yibo called Xiao Zhan while looking at the clothes.

“Come here.”

Wang Yibo put the tie on Xiao Zhan’s clothes one by one and picked the one that suits him.

“This is better.”

He took off his black tie and replaced it with a red tie. The knot-making hand gestures were neat.

When Xiao Zhan looked down at his long, smooth fingers, he wondered how many people he had killed with this hand. Even if it wasn’t, it didn’t appear to be less than him.

“What are you thinking?”

Zhan raised his head and made eye contact with Yibo in front of him.

Yibo smiled brightly, took a step back, checked Zhan’s appearance, and smiled contentedly.

“Perfect.”

“Thank you.”

What did Chairman Wang call me to discuss? When Xiao Zhan received the phone call, he had the feeling it wasn’t just a meal invitation.

The tie around Xiao Zhan’s neck was becoming uncomfortable. Kim Joon was right when he stated that he was not good at acting. When he went there, he didn’t know what kind of expression to use.

“Just go with a light heart. There’s nothing strange, right?”

“…”

“Take your gun just in case.”

Why does he have to bring his gun if it won’t be a huge deal? Xiao Zhan couldn’t stop himself, so he turned around and tried to leave without getting noticed.

However, Wang Yibo grabbed his arm and pulled him away. Zhan was confused, but Yibo went to the showcase and took a box.

When he opened the box, there was a watch.

He put it on Xiao Zhan despite the fact that it was worth more than a billion dollars.

Yibo checked the line and asked if it was a little big.

“Why a watch??”

“There is a bomb inside. If you go and talk nonsense, it will explode.”

Maybe it was because he saw Wen Chao’s head in the box during the day, and Yibo’s words didn’t sound like a joke anymore.

“Thinking about it, that’s also good. The money stayed, and the person who wanted to kill me is dead.”

When Xiao Zhan tried to unlock the watch, he grabbed his hand.

“Just kidding. It’s a gift.”

One of Xiao Zhan’s eyebrows rose crookedly.

“I was already satisfied with the gift I received during the day.”

He said that in a tone that didn’t even indicate sincerity, but Yibo’s eyes were nicely curved. Is it really feel so good to hear that he was content with Wen Chao’s death?

As Yibo sought to touch his cheek with his hand, Xiao Zhan took a step back and dodged him.

Wang Yibo rushed forward, and Xiao Zhan couldn’t move anymore because of the mirror behind him.

Yibo’s hands touching his cheeks travel down his neck, shoulders, and chest.

Zhan smacked him hard as he touched his already sore nipples.

Wang Yibo then laughed quietly to himself.

“Have you become sensitive?”

At that remark, Xiao Zhan did not lose his temper and laughed.

“It’s all thanks to you. You’ve bitten me like a dog so many times that it tattered.”

“Are you talking about your nipples? I was talking about your feelings.”

“…”

“I can tatter elsewhere if you want.”

Xiao Zhan forced a smile as he forced Yibo’s hand that touched his buttocks down. In his mind, he wished to tatter Wang Yibo by shooting him in the head. But Wang Yibo is an employer. And that’s $30 million, VVIP.

Initially, he intended to run without looking back once this commission was finished, but after further investigation, he was willing to deal with him once or twice more if he ever made the next request as long as he paid a huge sum of money as he is today. The condition is, of course, that his body is not demanded.

Xiao Zhan checked the watch he had put on a while ago.

“It’s time to go. I’ll be going now.”

Their lips brushed together as he raised his head.

Xiao Zhan was going to push him away but he gave up and raised his gaze to the ceiling.

Then Yibo’s hand groped his body again. He attempted to put up with only touching his side, but when he grabbed his ass tightly, Xiao Zhan couldn’t take it any longer and pushed his shoulder.

Wang Yibo smiled despite Xiao Zhan glare while wiping his lips with the back of his hand.

“Why is your face red? Do you like it?”

Yibo was clearly a psychopath since he couldn’t tell if Zhan liked it or was angry about it.

“No. To be honest, it was the worst kiss I’ve ever had.”

Xiao Zhan said it to make him feel bad, but his eyes became twisted as if it had worked.

“No way.”

“It’s true. Should I say it cools down the fucking hard dick?”

“We can check it out.”

Yibo was clinging to him so he pushed him away and walked out of the dressing room.

Li Bowen looked at him from the living room.

Xiao Zhan was irritated for no reason, so he purposefully stepped on the stairs loudly and went upstairs.

===

After asking the staff for water, Xiao Zhan waited for Chairman Wang in his study. He didn’t say anything during dinner.

However, Xiao Zhan couldn’t easily touch the food because he was afraid it was poisoned, and he couldn’t raise his chopsticks until Chairman Wang and Haoxuan started eating.

Time flew by as he sat nervously in his study room.

Unlike the one in the living room, there was a picture of the family on the wall that appeared to be quite old.

Wang Yibo was not difficult to find. He appeared much younger than he is now, and he had a face that said he didn’t want to be photographed.

While he was looking around, the door opened and Chairman Wang entered with a cane.

A staff member followed, placed the tea in front of him, and walked away.

Chairman Wang took out a thick cigar and lit it as soon as he sat down.

“Did you enjoy your meal?”

“Yes… It was delicious.”

“I’m glad you liked it. Would you like to smoke a cigarette?”

“No… I’m okay.”

He let out a friendly smile.

“Actually, what’s the point of learning things that are not good for your body? It’s really hard for me to quit smoking.”

“Yes… haha.”

“I don’t know how stupid humans are. Even if I know, I can’t avoid it.”

Xiao Zhan was silent.

“Isn’t it inconvenient to live with Yibo?”

“As I told you last time, the Director is good to me…”

“I’m glad. I’ll be ashamed of your grandfather if you aren’t comfortable.”

He wondered if he had thought about it.

Because as he gets older, he become more suspicious.

Whatever it is, he must pretend to be an insider for the time being.

Chairman Wang told several stories. From Mo Xuanyu’s father to his grandfather Mo Yu’s relationship.

A secretary entered while they were still smiling and responding appropriately. He was a young man with glasses, and he gave off an unhappy vibe.

“What about the wreath?”

“Yes, I will send it today.”

“Take care of it. It’s Haoxuan’s friend, so I’m not sad.”

That’s right. Chairman Wang looked at Xiao Zhan after the man said goodbye and left.

“Do you know him? His name is Wen Chao. You must have seen him while hanging out together with Haoxuan.”

Xiao Zhan nodded his head. “Yes.”

“He was found dead in the office today. I don’t know who it was, but he cut off his head and took it.”

Chairman Wang clicked his tongue and stated the end of the world.

Xiao Zhan couldn’t think of anything to say. He assumed it was done quietly, but he had no idea Yibo would leave the torso in the office.

When asked with a slightly surprised expression, Chairman Wang expressed regret.

“He is so young, it’s too bad.”

“You’re right.”

“It’s a scary world. You shouldn’t be like that.”

The hand holding the teacup stopped. Xiao Zhan turned to face Chairman Wang.

Chairman Wang smiled and tapped the ashtray with the cigar he was holding. The smoke rose and the fire went out.

Xiao Zhan wondered what he was thinking when he said that.

“Who would have done such a bad thing?”

Chairman Wang looked through Xiao Zhan intently.

Xiao Zhan didn’t try to avoid those stares. He relaxed his eyes as much as he could and pretended to be the innocent Mo Xuanyu, asking him a question. Who the hell is that bad guy?

Chairman Wang reverted to his good-man image, opened the box, and handed a candy to Xiao Zhan.

“I don’t know. But there is a saying that I heard one day.”

“…”

He uttered each word slowly as if carved into his bones, as he looked at Xiao Zhan.

“There are people I believe will not harm me. I call them corpses.”

The clasped hands under the table got stronger.

Chairman Wang smiled and asked if he knew who told him that saying. Xiao Zhan was unable to respond.

Chairman Wang took up the teacup and savored the tea.

“You seem to have a lot of secret time with Yibo these days.”

It was a direct question as if he knew everything.

Is there a spy among the people working in the house? Zhan kept his mouth shut and didn’t say anything.

Chairman Wang then set his teacup down and smiled strangely.

“Don’t trust too much. Whoever it is.”

The smile was so similar to Wang Yibo that he realized that he was his father.

====

Steam came up from the coffee cup he was holding.

The sky had been dark all afternoon, and rain started pouring down from the sky as if there had been a hole in it.

Yibo’s eyes looking out the window also resembled that sky.

The voice of Chairman Wang, who was in the main house, was being played through the speaker on one side.

[There are people I believe will not harm me. I call them corpses.]

“He is playing.”

Yibo blatantly ridiculed Chairman Wang. That’s what he once said to Chairman Wang.

Xiao Zhan was extremely quiet in the speaker. It was natural for him in the circumstances.

[Don’t believe too much. Whoever it is.]

Yibo turned off the speaker and walked over to the sofa.

Li Bowen was already seated. He was the one who told Chairman Wang about Wang Yibo and Mo Xuanyu eating together.

Chairman Wang invited Mo Xuanyu to his home right away. The meal was just an excuse, and doubts were probably sprouting in his mind.

“Will you be all right? The chairman will start to doubt you.”

Yibo smiled happily while smoking a cigarette.

“I wish so. That way he would make a move, right?”

Chairman Wang hired a contract killer as a secret deal, and the evidence has been cleared. It wasn’t enough just to get shot.

Yibo must find additional evidence that Chairman Wang is trying to kill him. To do so, he must use the agitated mind.

When you are being chased, your heart becomes impatient, and those who are in a hurry tend to make mistakes.
