LBOT-49

Xiao Zhan couldn’t keep his mouth shut as he opened the boxes Li Bowen had brought in the afternoon.

Kim Joon and Kim Yaan were busy admiring it as well. He said they would use the weapons they found in the box while working.

Xiao Zhan recognized it as the same type he’d seen in the basement. Li Bowen placed the car key on the table as he examined the guns one by one.

“This is the car that the three of you will use. Use this if possible.”

Kim Yaan’s eyes widened as he checked the car keys. It was a fairly expensive car.

“And if you tell me anything else you need, I’ll take care of it right away.”

Li Bowen immediately handed a shopping bag to Xiao Zhan.

“The CEO told me to deliver this.”

Xiao Zhan opened it after Li Bowen said goodbye and left. It’s a cell phone. It’s also the most recent model.

Yibo must have purchased it because he dropped his phone in the water yesterday, but Zhan decided it would be better to disassemble it and inspect it in case it was being tapped.

Kim Yaan is starting to have opposing views. He couldn’t believe Yibo was still buying them things after he had already paid them so much

Let us not bail in the middle and simply request a long-term contract. He gave Xiao Zhan a quick glance but quickly changed his mind.

The atmosphere became tense because he made with his mouth and the two of them just had a fight last night.

“CEO Wang has a cool personality. He is a man who knows how to spend money properly.”

Despite his quiet praise, Xiao Zhan remained silent, tinkering with his gun while smoking a cigarette.

He gave Kim Joon a sidelong glance, but his expression asked him to let go.

===

Xiao Zhan lay on the bed wearing only one pair of underwear and stared at the ceiling.

Everything in the bedroom has been replaced, and the bed is now larger than before.

It had been raining nonstop since yesterday, making it hot and humid outside, but the air conditioner was always on, keeping the house cool.

Wang Yibo did not appear in his room yesterday. Even when he saw him this morning, he only did a simple greeting. He didn’t carelessly touch his body, and he didn’t play jokes or pranks on him.

It was refreshing, but also strangely uncomfortable.

When people suddenly change, they are said to die soon.

It would be fine if he died, but Xiao Zhan was afraid that if Yibo endured it, he would explode and do something even more heinous and crazy.

Then there was a knock on the door.

Xiao Zhan raised his head and looked at it, but the door opened and Wang Yibo appeared.

Xiao Zhan frowned automatically.

Wang Yibo asked if he could come in at the door while Zhan was putting on the shirt he had hung next to him.

Xiao Zhan who was wearing his clothes hesitated. He wondered if he had misheard, but it appears that Yibo is awaiting permission.

When Xiao Zhan looked at him dumbfoundedly, Wang Yibo carefully closed the door and entered.

As he approached, the bruises on his face were still visible. He was holding a mug. He approached the bed and placed it on the bedside table. The aroma of tea could be detected.

This is a tea that Xiao Zhan has enjoyed drinking since long ago.

“I asked your brother and he said you like this.”

Xiao Zhan glared at him without replying.

Yibo pulled a chair and sat down, making eye contact with Zhan and smiling apologetically.

“What happened that day was too much for you. No matter how angry I’m, I shouldn’t cut your dick carelessly.”

Xiao Zhan was dumbfounded as he looked at him. What nonsense. Crazy bastard.

Xiao Zhan wanted to curse but held back because he didn’t want to stir up trouble. He wished for him to leave quickly, but Yibo moved his hand to his bosom.

Perhaps he was going to pull out the axe again, but when Xiao Zhan clenched his fist to defend himself, an unexpected object came out of his hand.

He put it next to the teacup. The little elephant was made of wood, and the shape was elaborate and cute.

As he was looking at it, Yibo asked him indirectly.

“I thought of you when I bought it. Do you like it?”

Xiao Zhan remained silent. Yibo rose from his seat, paused awkwardly, then reached out and brushed Zhan’s bangs once.

When the perplexed Xiao Zhan stood still, Yibo gently touched him and quickly withdrew his hand.

“Then, sleep well. Have a nice dream.”

He smiles and walks out of the room.

Xiao Zhan blinked slowly and pinched his cheek, wondering if this was all a dream. He returns to his senses by looking at the teacup and the elephant next to it.

Is this bastard crazy, and why is he acting this way? It wasn’t good that people suddenly changed; it was scary.

Perhaps he is listening outside the door. Xiao Zhan nervously opened the door, but no one was there.

He’s really gone, judging by the fact that he’s not even in the living room.

Xiao Zhan wondered if Yibo had a camera attached to it, but he searched the room and found nothing.

The aromas of tea and his skin lingered in the room. Xiao Zhan sat on the bed, holding the elephant up to his face and staring at it.

What are you up to?

====

Xiao Zhan is eating dinner earlier than usual, but Wang Yibo enters the room after leaving work early.

However, the clothes have changed. He was dressed in black which made his face appear more decadent.

Xiao Zhan gave him a quick glance before turning away while eating dinner.

Kim’s brother greeted him as he approached, but Xiao Zhan remained silent.

Wang Yibo instructed the house chef not to prepare his dinner tonight, and he quickly left the house after a brief goodbye.

Xiao Zhan, who was eating, looked in the direction in which he had disappeared. At that time, Kim Yaan patted Xiao Zhan’s shoulder.

“You still haven’t made up?”

Xiao Zhan didn’t answer.

“But where is he going today? The atmosphere is different from usual.”

The house chef gave Xiao Zhan more food and smiled with a slightly sad expression.

“It’s his Mother’s memorial day..”

Xiao Zhan, who was drinking the water, stopped. Unknowingly, his gaze returned to the side where Wang Yibo had disappeared.

He remembered him talking about his mother.

Did he say she went insane and committed suicide? Wang Yibo said that she attempted to drown him in water.

Everything started when Chairman Wang took her and forced her to marry him against her will. Is this where Wang Yibo’s hatred began?

Xiao Zhan’s hand slowed down. His head was spinning as he remembered his late mother.

Wen Rouhan’s younger brother and Wen Chao’s uncle, whom he killed with his own hands a year ago, was the man he needed to kill in two days. He may have seen him once as a child.

Even after 15 years, the painful and bad feelings has not faded.

“Thank you for the meal.”

When Xiao Zhan stood up from his meal, the house chef asked him worriedly, if he didn’t have an appetite. He smiled and went upstairs.

He packed his gun and knife for the work in two days, double-checked it, and went for a walk to digest.

The weather remained humid. It had stopped for a while, but the sky was cloudy, and it was about to rain again.

The bodyguards greeted him as if they were used to it while he was out for a walk.

After a year, the shepherd he had seen before also appeared more dignified. Meanwhile, there were several dogs who looked alike, as if they had become friends.

After walking moderately, he came inside the house, took a shower, and meditated. He slowly emptied the sundry things in his heart.

After an hour or so, he got up. It was already dark outside.

Looking out the window, Xiao Zhan’s gaze was drawn to the swimming pool.

Wang Yibo, who had disappeared a few hours before on the occasion of his Mother’s memorial day, was sitting on a chair, gazing out at the pool.

Raindrops fell from the sky one by one, but he did not move.

He smoked a few cigarettes before slowly taking off his shoes, jacket, and loosening his tie.

Wang Yibo walked into the pool when Xiao Zhan realized what he was doing.

Xiao Zhan’s eyes widened. He lay down in the pool looking at the sky.

The figure floating in the water appeared to be as at ease as lying on a bed. Little by little, the raindrops became more intense. In that state, Wang Yibo did not even move.

Xiao Zhan walked away from the window and into bed to lie down. He tried to relax his nerves and fall asleep, but he couldn’t.

He stood up and returned to the window, but Yibo was still floating there like a corpse.

Perhaps he was drunk. Who will give them the money if he drowns while doing so? If not…

Is it so painful that he wants to die? Why does he appear so pathetic today?

Xiao Zhan wondered if he hadn’t had any energy for a few days because of his Mother’s memorial day.. He is still a human being, so he experiences sadness.

Xiao Zhan changed his clothes and went downstairs, concerned.

Everyone had gone to bed, so the house was quiet, and when he came out, the guards standing guard greeted him.

He opened his umbrella and walked towards the pool. Tip, tip, the sound of rain was strong.

Xiao Zhan was already standing in front of the pool. Wang Yibo closed his eyes and remained motionless.

“What are you doing?”

Xiao Zhan asked but there was no answer

“What are you doing?”

Yibo remained silent.

No way, Xiao Zhan immediately jumped into the pool and grabbed his arm.

Wang Yibo then opened his eyes and stood up straight. He raised an eyebrow as he wiped the water from his face.

Xiao Zhan let out a sigh of relief and spat out a curse.

“Why are you making that face?”

“What face?”

When he replied bluntly, Wang Yibo smiled faintly.

“Why do you look so scared?”

Xiao Zhan’s eyes flickered slightly. The answer did not come easily. Did he? No. It was just that without Yibo, he had no one to give him money…

He made excuses inside his head but couldn’t get them out.

Just then, the rain poured down. Yibo’s large hand shaded Xiao Zhan’s head. And with the other hand, he kindly wiped the rainwater from his face.

“Let’s not get caught in the rain and go out. You will catch a cold.”
