"Shaofei it's time to go"
Tangyi shouted. We were on our way to meet Jack in the office. Tangyi said he would drive me there so Hong ye can recover and have a bit of time today with her girlfriend. "I'm coming...give me 30 seconds".
I'm surprised I could move out of bed this morning. Tangyi on the other hand was cheerful, he looked more relaxed and his skin was glowing. 'Three rounds are my limit'
"Right I'm ready, let's go"
Picking up my jacket, we both walked out of the house shutting the door behind us.
"I really don't know what to expect. I mean I really don't know who this guy is". We were now in the car and on our way.
"I'm sure we can find that out when we get there". Tangyi said his eyes focused on the road.
"Yea I guess".
We arrived at the office in no time . The building wasn't as small as I thought. its owned by Jack and is used for his private detective works.
The secretary let us in and told us to wait for him. "Wow this is impressive it looks just like a police station inside. Jack has done well for himself"
"Yea he really has" tangyi placed his hands on mine and squeezed it.
I smiled up at him, blushing slightly.
"Ahh, sorry for keeping you. Had another case to deal with".
"Ahh, it's okay. How's your back. Hope it's not broken" both Tangyi and I got up upon hearing Jack.
"Its okay just slight bruising. I'll be fine" Jack waved his hands. "Come let's go into my office" he motioned for them to follow him.
His office was quiet big. Everything was placed neatly. "Sit..sit" he said pointing at the chair in front of his desk.
"So I asked my people to keep searching for Daoyi but nothing as of yet. I also questioned our mystery man but that too was a dead end" Jack explained.
"What do you mean deadend?" Shaofei asked moving to the edge of his seat resting his elbow on the table.
"He wouldn't answer any of my questions. However he said he would only speak to you directly and alone".
Shaofei looked at Tangyi and looked back at Jack. "Speak to me?"
Can I do that now"
"If you are up for it now. We could wait a bit to run his prints in the database to see if we find any match"
I have so many questions of my own that I want to ask. Tangyi placed his hands on my shoulder. "Do you want me to come in with you"
"No...its alright. Thanks" I placed my hands on his.
"Okay come with me shaofei" Jack said getting up from his chair. He led me to a door. "Right so dont worry he cant try anything, I'll be in the other side if the room watching with Tangyi. Any sign of trouble. We will come in" he said assuring me it was okay.
I clenched my hand around the door handle and released them before clicking open the door.
I went in and sat down. There he was looking at me with smug eyes
'Does he realise what position hes in right now?'
"I'm guessing he told you I would only speak to you" he said smirking.
I felt like plunging across the table and ripping the smile out of his face.
"Yea...so are you gonna start talking"
"I will but first....beg me"
'Are you fucking kidding me right now'.
"What would you have done if I had said that". He simply smirked.
If looks could kill right now. He would have been long gone.
"Who the fuck are you and why are you after me"
"Woahhh...are you getting agitated frustrated. Now you know how I felt all these years".
"No I actually don't know".
"You really are a spoilt brat. You took everything that was meant to be mine. So I simply wanted to take it back. However I realised It wouldnt be as fulfilling, I needed to destroy yours first little brother".
The air in the room felt thin. My head was spinning. 'Did I just hear that right. No no it can't be. Little brother?'
"What the fuck did you just say?".
"You heard right. LITTLE BROTHER"
he started cackling. His head rolled to the back of the chair.
'He really did say brother. We are not related'
"STOP. YOU ARE FUCKING WITH ME. whatever sick twisted joke you want to pull. It's not going to work"
I got up so quickly I knocked down the chair. I was about to storm out of the room when he stopped me. "You are free to take my blood, hair or cotton swab my mouth. That won't change the fact that I belong in our family"
"Our...OUR FAMILY. YOU HAVE NO FUCKING RIGHTS" I walked over to him and yanked his collar closer to me. "YOU ARE A STRANGER. YOU ARE DEFINITELY NOT MY BROTHER"
"Deny it all you want but I'm your older brother shaofei".
My grip loosened, my knee weak. I collapsed against the table. I slowly slide down onto the floor. 'No..no I refuse to believe it. It not true' I placed my hands on my head and shook it.
"You are no brother of mine. No brother will seek to destroy eachother". I got up with whatever strength was left in me. I head for the door but paused and looked back. "I'll need proof otherwise it's all A FUCKING LIE" I walked out and slammed the door.
"Oh but it's all true brother" was the last thing Tangyi and Jack heard from the other room.
Tangyi burst out of the room. He went looking shaofei. He knew what hes had just heard would cripple his emotions.
"Shaofei...fei. where are you? Shaofei?"
He busted in rooms searching for shaofei. He didnt care if he looked like a madman. He needed to be beside him now. He knew shaofei needed space but in situations like this he needs someone beside him before he does something stupid. "Fei...where are you. Please answer"
He had exhausted all his options searched every room before he realised he didnt even check the bathroom.
He bursts into the bathroom and locked the door behind him. "Fei..I know u're in here. Baby talk to me. It's not true until we see proof like u said"
He pushed open every door. He reached the last stall, tried to push it open but it wouldnt budge. He bent down to check under and saw the familiar shoes.
He rested his forehead on the door and knocked. "I don't have to come in.. I'll stay here as long as you need me to".
Faint sniffling and crying could be heard in the other side of the door. "I need you to be strong baby".
Shaofei didnt answer back. Instead his cry was getting loud.
"Let it out fei...I'm here. You'll feel better after trust me"
His sob got even louder and the tears he was trying to hold back or stifle was unleashed ad waterfall of tears came gushing out of his eyes. He was like this for a good 5 minutes. Crying non stop. "That's it fei. Get it all out".
"What.....if....its...true?" Shaofei said between cries. His voice was weak and hoarse from crying a bucket full.
"Whether or not it's true. We will find out soon. Jack has gone to collect some DNA sample. We just need yours"
Shaofei was silent.
The door cracked open a little bit, revealing a rear stained face shaofei. His eyes were red and his nose was wet.
Tangyi moved back. His heart immediately clenched tight in his chest. He hated seeing shaofei cry.
"Come here". He said opening his arms wide. Shaofei didnt waste anytime. He collapsed into his embrace and more tears flowed out. His breath was unsteady as he cried even more.
All Tangyi could do was rub slow circle on his back. Comforting him whilst his other arm wraps around his body.
"Let's get you home first"
Tangyi took shaofei to the car after cleaning his face and giving him his hat and mask to wear.
"Wait here okay.im going back to tell Jack we will come back once the result comes in".
Shaofei had given Tangyi a lock of hair wrapped in a tissue for the DNA sampling.
He was now alone in the car. His thoughts were going wild. He didn't quite know where to begin. But he was sure his parents are going to answer a few questions.
'Just what am I meant to believe now'
