Kim Yaan was carried into the operating room on a stretcher and looked like a corpse. His entire body was pale due to the blood loss, and he did not move at all.
If Kim Joon, who found him first, had not given first aid to the stab wound, he could have died on the spot.
How the hell did these guys know? The only people who knew the work schedule were the three and Wang Yibo.
In case they would attract attention, only three of them moved without Wang Yibo’s subordinates that day.
But how did they know in advance that they were even waiting there?
No matter how much Xiao Zhan thought about it, he didn’t know.
People dressed in scrubs rushed in with several bags of blood. Xiao Zhan, who was standing there nervously, glanced through the crack in the open door at Kim Yaan.
Xiao Zhan couldn’t stand it when he saw his droopy arm and turned around.
Kim Joon was sitting in a chair in front of the operating room, half-fazed.
Xiao Zhan took a seat next to him and waited for the operation to be completed safely. Every time the door opened, his heart skipped a beat.
Kim Joon raised his hand and stroked Zhan’s head.
“He’s gonna be okay. He’s a terrible bastard, so he’ll definitely live.”
Xiao Zhan bit his lips. As a child, when he was anxious, Kim Joon always told him it was okay and reassured him that it would be fine. And then, mysteriously, he would be fine. He could only hope it would work this time.
On the one hand, he felt guilty. If he had taken good care of his night vision goggles, Kim Yaan wouldn’t have looked away, and even if he was attacked by surprise, he wouldn’t have been one-sided.
Kim Joon patted him on the back as if he had noticed that.
Time passed very slowly.
An hour passed, and then it was two hours, Kim Joon went out to talk on the phone.
Left alone, Xiao Zhan wandered in front of the operating room again and took out his cell phone. After finding Wang Yibo’s contact number, he hesitated for a while. He should be sleeping by now. He shouldn’t call him.
Kim Joon, who had gone to talk on the phone, returned just in time.
He thought he should notify Kim Yaan’s girlfriend, so he called her, but the phone was turned off. Even before he began working on it, he saw Kim Yaan was on the phone with her.
Time passed and the operating room door finally opened.
Kim Yaan’s face was as white as a sheet of paper as he wheeled out on the bed. A number of intravenous lines were hung over it and swayed.
Kim Joon urgently held on to the doctor.
“What happened?”
The doctor lowered his mask.
“He’s lost a lot of blood, but fortunately, it’s not life-threatening. You were quick with the first aid. I think we’ll just have to keep him stable and watch him for now.”
“Thank you, sir.” Kim Joon held the doctor’s hand and bowed down.
After Xiao Zhan said thank you, the two exchanged glances and let out a sigh of relief.
“You were worried for nothing.”
Xiao Zhan smiled.
“You are the one who said that he would live because he was a terrible bastard.”
“I know you’re worried about him. I was worried because if there were only the two of us working, there would be no one to fetch weapons.”
The two relaxed and laughed and exchanged jokes.
They walk to the hospital room, guided by the nurse, but Xiao Zhan’s phone rings. A message arrived from a number he had never seen before.
Xiao Zhan stopped walking as he opened it to check.
In the photo, Li Bowen was meeting Kim Yaan’s girlfriend, Priyanka.
“…”
The next picture was the scene where Li Bowen hands over a black bag to Priyanka.
It was a situation he didn’t understand. What is this? Why were they meeting?
Kim Joon, who was walking ahead, looked back.
“What’s wrong?”
Xiao Zhan quickly put the phone in his pocket and approached Kim Joon.
“Do you have a Yaan brother’s cell phone?”
Kim Joon took out Kim Yaan’s cell phone from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Zhan.
They always carried two cell phones, one for work and one for personal use. For everyday use, they usually used the most recent model with the best performance, and for work, they mostly used an old folded phone that was difficult to hack.
Even the three of them contacted each other and shared schedules for work only.
However, Kim Yaan communicated with his lover on a regular basis, even on a work phone, so this was not the first time Kim Joon constantly complained.
Xiao Zhan entered the password to unlock the phone and called Priyanka right away.
As Kim Joon mentioned, a message appeared indicating that the signal had been turned off.
Xiao Zhan’s eyes shifted subtly. The same can be said for walking again. When he looked through the messages Kim Yaan had recently exchanged with her, he noticed that the majority of them were short expressions of affection.
Xiao Zhan tore off the back of the phone to remove the battery, and when that wasn’t enough, he slammed the phone into the wall.
Crack, when the cell phone was smashed and a gap opened, he forcibly pulled it to check the inside. Xiao Zhan’s eyes as he looked inside changed sharply.
Kim Joon, who was in front of him, approached right in front of him, found a chip smaller than his thumbnail, and let out a sigh. He knew at a glance that it was a wiretapping machine.
Since when was it? Even now, the conversation between the two will be passed on to the other person.
Xiao Zhan stared at the chip before breaking it into his mouth and chewing it with his molars. It scraped the tip of his tongue and smashed it until blood came out, then spat it out in the trash.
After wiping the blood from his lips, the two sat on chairs on the side of the room, unable to go to Kim Yaan.

Wang Yibo smoked a cigarette in front of the railing on the hotel terrace early in the morning. Protesters in front were shouting slogans violently.
They claimed to be a private environmental organization, but it was an act and they were a bunch of hastily assembled thugs.
It was obvious that they were paid as they appeared out of nowhere and disrupted work.
And, of course, this was at a time when Xiao Zhan was jealous. He got on the plane without being able to suck his dick a few times as a result, so he wanted to tear them to death.
Wang Yibo smiled viciously as he chewed his cigarette with his teeth.
“Fuck. I want to pour oil on them and fry them all.”
The fight had gotten so bad that the lawyers had come down and were at the police station, but the construction company was the one who assaulted them first, so they were at a disadvantage now.
According to the team leader, the man who was the head of the organization was arguing with him, bringing up his dead parents. In other words, he intentionally provoked them, and they fell for it.
Wang Yibo lit a cigarette and put both hands in his pants pockets. There were tons of things he didn’t like.
Tsk, he clicked his tongue and stared down, but Bowen opened the terrace door and entered.
“Sir, you should answer the phone.”
His voice was the same as usual, but his speech sped up a little. It was a very rare case, so Yibo took the phone to his ear as soon as he was handed it.
It was a call from an employee in Beijing. He was entrusted with protecting Xiao Zhan while he was away.
Wang Yibo’s expression hardened as he listened to the story.
“Where?”
Behind the receiver, he explained the location of the hospital. First, he ordered them to move to the hospital and hung up the phone.
Still, slogans and cries against environmental destruction could be heard from below. Yibo fixed his gaze there and called for Bowen.
“We should probably head up.”
“Yes.”
Wang Yibo stubbed out his cigarette and gritted his teeth. It was obvious who had done it. How did they know beforehand?
He tried to contact Xiao Zhan, but he didn’t answer. They said that there was no danger to his life and that the bullet just grazed his arm.
My rabbit, what a surprise.
I have to go and comfort him.

Xiao Zhan, who had been smoking in a smoking booth near the hospital, came out.
At dawn, the sky was pouring down with rain, and now the sun was scorching his head.
He hadn’t dried his wet clothes from the night before and was still wearing them.
He kept calling Priyanka, but in the morning it came out that the number was unavailable.
As the things they feared gradually became reality, Xiao Zhan and Kim Joon became frustrated and worried about what to tell Kim Yaan.
Kim Yaan opened his eyes once in the middle of the night, but he wasn’t fully awake because of the medicine.
Xiao Zhan sighed and began to walk, but he was cut off by a black car.
He was about to move out of the way and turn around when the front passenger door opened and a tall man stepped out, blocking his path.
“Mr. Xiao Zhan?”
Xiao Zhan, who was looking at the ground, raised his head and stared at the man.
The man looked familiar, but it wasn’t until later that he realized he was Chairman Wang’s secretary. As he stepped back and stared at the man, the back window of the car goes down.
Xiao Zhan’s expression hardened.
It was Chairman Wang. Seeing him after a year, he still showed a beast-like side in his eyes.
“Get in. I have something to say.”
Xiao Zhan stared at Chairman Wang.
“Shouldn’t we go to the funeral home of Su She, who died, rather than here?”
“I don’t know what you are talking about.”
“Keep pretending. That’s the Chairman’s specialty.”
“Do you think I did it?”
“Then who did it? Wang Yibo?”
The chairman didn’t answer, and Xiao Zhan snorted. He sent a picture from somewhere and tried to put the blame on Wang Yibo.
Xiao Zhan didn’t fully trust him, but he didn’t think Yibo was a crazy person who would sprinkle ashes on his dinner. He had no reason to do that.
So, Chairman Wang is most likely the one who initiated it. He’d shoot a hole through the old man’s head right now if he had a gun.
Fuck. Xiao Zhan clenched his teeth and smiled crookedly at Chairman Wang.
“Please take care of yourself. I’m going to pay off yesterday’s debt.”
“You speak carelessly.”
“Because you’re not my customer anymore.”
Xiao Zhan was about to pass by after arguing, but Chairman Wang called him again.
“You and Yibo are in a relationship, right?”
Xiao Zhan frowned. He wonders if he’s asking if they’re having sex.
“Do you know what happened to the people who met with Yibo in the past?”
Xiao Zhan turned around with an annoyed look on his face.
“Do I even need to know Wang Yibo’s love history?”
Chairman Wang laughed as if he had heard something funny.
“Aren’t you curious? What happened to those people?”
“…”
“Whether they’re alive or dead.”
The nuance was odd. Chairman Wang smiled with an inappropriately gentle face as Xiao Zhan did not respond.
“It would be great if you were mine.”
“Dream on.”
“I will. But don’t trust him too much. When the moment of crisis comes, Wang Yibo will be the first to let go of your hand.”
Before Xiao Zhan could say anything else, the window rolled up and the car pulled away.
Xiao Zhan stared at the car as it drives away and gritted his teeth. At this point, he really started to feel sorry for Wang Yibo. That old man was desperate to catch his own son.
Fuck. That was why his kid became crazy.
