Yibo closed his mouth tightly as he stared at the disconnected phone call. It was a face he hadn’t seen in a year.

In the first place, he expected him to be happy, but the woman next to him was completely unexpected.

He moved his tongue around in his mouth, looking at the photos on the phone one by one.

A man named Kim Yaan seemed to be quite friendly with Xiao Zhan.

The majority of the photos were of weapons, but there were also a few of Xiao Zhan. His skin was sunburned within a year, and he smiled brightly, unlike when he was with him.

It was a face he hadn’t seen.

Yibo, who was flipping through the photos, stopped for a moment.

The smiling woman next to Xiao Zhan is the same woman he saw earlier in the video.

Yibo approached Kim Yaan, who was groaning with his phone in his hand and grabbed his hair to get him to look up.

“Who is this woman?”

The wounded Kim Yaan took a deep breath, looked at the picture of Khushi’s face, and then back at Wang Yibo.

“What is her relationship with Xiao Zhan?”

When Kim Yaan did not answer, Yibo shook his severed finger in front of his eyes.

“If you don’t want all your fingers cut off, you’d better tell me.”

Kim Yaan glared at him and gnashed his teeth.

“There’s nothing going on.”

Hmm. Yibo narrowed his eyes.

He then flipped through the photos again, and while there are photos of them together, they don’t appear to be particularly close.

But what were they doing together naked?

Now that he thought about it, it seem the woman was wearing something. He was strangely angered.

After staring at Xiao Zhan in the photo, he looked down at the kneeling man.

“Then what is his relationship with you?”

Instead of answering, Kim Yaan just kept his mouth shut and glared at him.

“Boss?”

To put it mildly, his fighting skills were not as good as Xiao Zhan. He admitted to having good strength, but he was terrible with a knife.

“Brother.”

Yibo snorted.

“You sound like a brother.”

Kim Yaan immediately accepted.

“Don’t laugh. We are real brothers.”

There was no resemblance to Xiao Zhan no matter where he looked up or down.

Yibo’s brow furrowed. He suddenly remembered Xiao Zhan mentioning him.

He didn’t tell him everything, but a man named Kim took him to Korea and raised him as his adopted son. There are people who are closer than blood brothers.

Come to think of it, did he say that this guy’s name was Kim Yaan?

While thinking deeply, Kim Yaan gasped and glared at Yibo roughly.

“End your revenge with me. Don’t touch my brother.”

The look on his face is real. Yibo clicked his tongue and called Li Bowen. Then he threw the severed finger to him.

“Take him to the hospital and stick it up.”

“What?”

Bowen’s eyes widened slightly. It bewildered him because he had never been asked to reattach someone’s fingers, even if they were severed.

Yibo lowered himself and sat down in front of Kim Yaan while ordering his subordinates to pack an envelope to put his finger in.

He then pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the blood from Kim Yaan’s forehead.

Kim Yaan threw himself back, startled, and Yibo smiled kindly.

“I wish you had told me that you are his brother.”

Kim Yaan glared at Wang Yibo. Kim Yaan pushed out Yibo’s hands as he tried to wipe away the blood around his mouth.

It gave him goosebumps even more than when Yibo bit his finger off. What is this crazy bastard doing?

Kim Yaan couldn’t tell if it was because he liked laughing or because he was planning to kill him. He had seen all kinds of things so far, but this was the first time seeing a human being like this.

He could see why Xiao Zhan was cursing and shuddering because of this crazy bastard.

Kim Yaan was soon lifted and loaded into the car by Yibo men.

After the car with Kim Yaan had left, Yibo returned his attention to Xiao Zhan on the phone.

It was the first time he had seen his smiling face with visible teeth. Xiao Zhan always forced a smile or laughed at him whenever he saw him.

In the early days when he was lying in a hospital bed, he gnashed his teeth, saying that if Xiao Zhan was caught, he would tear him to death.

However, the desire to kill gradually changed into something else. It was his mistaken belief that he would be easy to catch. Xiao Zhan rarely left any traces while running away, and as time passed, Yibo became nervous.

He wondered whether he would miss him forever.

But seeing him sticking with a woman today makes Yibo want to kill him again. How could he really explain this?

He sighed softly, grabbed the phone, and walked towards the car.

That’s right, he’ll know when he sees that handsome face in person. To tear him apart or not.

“He only told you to come to Hong Kong?”

Xiao Zhan nodded in response to Kim Joon’s question. He could see why Kim Yaan, who was supposed to be in Hong Kong, had gone to China.

His lover stayed here for a while before returning to China, so Kim Yaan must have gone to see her.

Xiao Zhan couldn’t bear telling Kim Joon the truth, so he lied and said he invited him to visit Hong Kong for a while.

“Excluding me?”

“The Hong Kong guys said they wanted to see me in person.”

Kim Yaan went to Hong Kong to meet a Suzu tycoon, and Xiao Zhan lied that they had asked to see him.

Kim Joon was sad that he hadn’t called him, but Xiao Zhan quickly added his words.

“Wouldn’t that mean you could spend some intimate time with Cyrilin while I’m gone?”

Kim Joon touched his chin and was still worried about it, he then dialed Kim Yaan’s number.

Xiao Zhan tried to stop him, but he said he needed to make the call. The phone, thankfully, did not connect. He exhaled a sigh of relief and began packing his belongings.

“What about the plane ticket?”

“Fortunately, there was still some left.”

“I’ll take you to the airport.”

“No. I can take a taxi.”

Xiao Zhan smiled while hiding his complicated feelings. The hand packing the luggage became increasingly hurried.

When he saw Wang Yibo’s demon-like face on the screen, he had no choice but to go as fast as he could. Before he swallows Kim Yaan entirely. It was obvious that the insane man would remain that way.

“I wish I could come with you.”

Kim Joon was disappointed to the end. He stated that he wanted to eat sushi and see Tuen Mun at night. But, to be honest, he will prevent him from leaving. Something was promised when the first three started working.

If one person was caught and caused the other two to be in danger, let’s call it quits.

If something similar happened, Kim Joon would be the first to step away. Besides, it was entirely his(xz) fault that this happened. So he had to take responsibility.

He’d rather have his head blown off than his legs on that particular day.

He packed his belongings with belated regret. He must find Wang Yibo before causing harm to Kim Yaan.

After arriving by plane for 6 and a half hours, the weather in China was sticky and humid compared to Kuala.

The airport was crowded because it was the weekend.

Xiao Zhan took a taxi to the car center that Kim Yaan had been operating while in China.

He stopped the taxi in front of it and looked around, but he didn’t notice anything. He got out of the taxi after paying the fare and approached the building.

The owner had left the car center empty for a long time, and traces of neglect were visible here and there.

When he returned to enter the lock’s code, he found himself in a dark room. He returns inside and opens the box after turning on the light, but the gun he looked for is nowhere to be found.

Kim Yaan appeared to have organized everything before leaving this place.

He managed to find only a shotgun and a knife after searching everywhere. He loaded the bullet, picked it up, and returned.

A storage shed with shutters and locks stood next to the building. Xiao Zhan shot the lock, shattering it, then raised the shutter and went inside.

Inside the warehouse, he found a motorcycle similar to the one he’d seen before.

He took the key from a nearby box and activated the GPS tracker.

He had a tracking device installed in each cell phone just in case, but he had no idea it would be used in this way.

When activated, a red dot appears alongside the satellite map and Kim Yaan’s location.

He wasn’t sure if Kim Yaan’d be with Wang Yibo or not, but he just hoped he’d be alive when he arrived. The red dot was now moving somewhere.

Wang Yibo told him to come to his house, but there could be a trap waiting for him there. If he had a numerical advantage, he should strike first.

Xiao Zhan donned his helmet. One or two drops of rain fell from the dark sky as he pulled his motorcycle out of the warehouse.

Damn it. Even the weather isn’t helping.

He climbed on it, started the engine, and began moving quickly in the direction indicated by the tracker.

The motorcycle speeded up and down through the rain, moving between cars.

Xiao Zhan had been riding for about 40 minutes when he noticed Kim Yaan’s location was getting closer. It was heading towards Wang Yibo’s old house.

Sure enough, he noticed a familiar car ahead of him. He couldn’t see anything inside the heavily tinted car, but it was unmistakably Wang Yibo’s.

He slowed down and followed him, but when he entered a deserted place, he went ahead and blocked him.

SCREECH!

When the car came to a halt, Xiao Zhan got off the motorcycle and took off his helmet. Then he unlocked the safety catch on the shotgun he was carrying on his back and aimed it at the car.

Raindrops landed on his head, wet his brows, and ran down his cheeks and chin.

The black car only moved its wipers and did not budge.

“The surgery seems to have gone well.”

“What about Xiao Zhan?”

“He arrived in China three hours ago.”

Yibo looked at his watch. He told Xiao Zhan to come to his house, so he’ll see him soon. There’s a hostage, so he won’t come armed with guns.

However, because he was stabbed in the back once, he is unsure how it will turn out, so Yibo has also increased the number of guards at home and is fully prepared.

Yibo looked out the window and it was pouring heavily. Zanjin, who was in the driver’s seat at the time, abruptly stepped on the brakes.

Bowen looked back as Yibo’s body leaned forward with the screeching sound.

“Are you alright, sir?”

“I’m sorry. Suddenly, a motorcycle cuts in!”

Yibo, who had been frowning, straightened up and raised one eyebrow. Bowen’s gaze also turned forward when he looked ahead.

In the rain, a motorcycle was blocking the road. Zanjin, who was behind the wheel, apologized repeatedly, but Yibo couldn’t hear him.

Bowen also noticed something unusual and put his hand inside the jacket and grabbed the gun.

Sure enough, the man who got off the motorcycle took off his helmet. The rain made it difficult to see, but he was certain of this view. Haa. Yibo gave a puzzled smile.

Bowen tried to get off with the gun, but Yibo stopped him by raising his hand. Then, with his arms crossed on the seat, he sat back and gazed out the window, as if watching a movie.

In the rain, Xiao Zhan pulls out a gun, loads it, and points it at him.

Bowen’s face stiffened, whereas Yibo smiled.

“Bowen.”

“Yes, president.”

“Doesn’t that look so damn sexy?”

Bowen looked back with an expression wondering if he had heard it wrong. The corners of Wang Yibo’s mouth went up.

“That’s why I can’t look around.”

Yibo got out of the car and opened his umbrella after he told them to stay still. The sound of rain pummeling the umbrella was loud.

Xiao Zhan, who was only 10 meters away, stood there pointing a gun at this place and did not budge.
