After Xiao Li came down the stairs and returned to the car, he did not start his engine immediately. He simply sat there waiting until he saw Qi Xiu Yuan emerged. Two people appeared from the car parked at the corner and quickly made their way toward the corridor pushing a stretcher. After coming back out with the person lying on the stretcher and skillfully lifting him into the car, a couple minutes later, they rapidly sped off.

Finally loosening his tense body, Xiao Li pulled his phone out to make a call.

"Ge?" Xiao Yang's voice was exceptionally cautious as he spoke.

Xiao Li simply snorted.

"I'm sorry Ge," apologized Xiao Yang, even though it does not sound regretful, "Are you guys okay now?"

"It's not what you think. Don't be so meddlesome in the future."

"Oh? Aren't you two dating? You don't have to hide it from me, I'm not against it." Xiao Yang laughed then said, "Qi Dage[1] is a pretty good person and he's also Susu's older brother. We'll be sibling-in-law[2] later, isn't that good?"

Since Xiao Li has not spoken to his brother much about his own personal life experiences, there was a long moment of silence between them before he finally spoke, "This matter is very complication. There's no need for you to care about it anymore......"

"Why are you being like this again and not saying anything? You only know how to give me orders......" Xiao Yang complained however there was a sense of helplessness in voice rather than resentment. He sighed and continued, "I know, I won't care anymore."

After he hung up on that call, Xiao Li's brows wrinkled together into a slight frown as he lit another cigarette. By the time he gave Zhang Juan Juan a call, his voice had become cold and gloomy.

"Did something happen to you?" He promptly questioned, "Or, you actually have your own boss?"

Zhang Juan Juan went silent for a moment before speaking in a monotonous voice, "Since you refused Qi Xiu Yuan this time, you won't have any more chances."

"I know." Xiao Li simply answered then hung up the phone.

Xiao Li certainly knew, it was not like Sun Ze Yu hasn't seen it before.[3]

A person like him who abruptly rose to power from the lowest rung of society, who has dealt with the harshness of manipulating of the underworld and obeying to the political structures, has stepped on the shoulders and corpse of countless people while his actions are laden with tyrannical tendencies and callousness.

For these reasons, if anyone wanted to wound his heart, they would not stand a chance. Only someone like Qi Xiu Yuan would believe that someone like Sun Ze Yu is a nostalgic person.

It's just that... Sun Ze Yu utilized Qi Xiu Yuan as a bargaining chip to lure Xiao Li in. As a matter of fact, it was truly an enticing bargaining chip...... just by thinking about Qi Xiu Yuan's earnest devotion to him, Xiao Li would immediately find it difficult to breathe.

Letting those thoughts play in his head, he lowered the window and started the car. As he began to drive, the howling wind rushed into the car and dispersed the veil of mist.

This is also good......

He sighed.

Qi Xiu Yuan should have not been involved in this since the beginning......withdrawing now should not be too late either.

He thought as he ignored the sharp pain that pierced his chest while a nearly impossible to see trace of smile hook at the corner of his lips.
