The elevator went up to the top floor.

Chen Kong followed Xu Bo's instructions and helped Han Li towards his room. The room, with gray, black and white as the main colors, looked quite deserted under the cold light. The square and straight lines were full of geometry. There was not a single wrinkle on the bed and pillow, and there was almost no breath of life. It was surprisingly similar to the style of the room he lived in when he was a child.

He half-supported and half-carried Han Li to the bed, turned around and was about to say something to Xu Bo.

But when they turned around, they found that Uncle Xu had left at some point, and he even considerately closed the door for them when he left.

Shen Kong: “…”

So the old man must have misunderstood something.

He took a deep breath and lowered his eyes to look at Han Li who was half leaning against the head of the bed. His eyes were tightly closed, his long eyelashes drooped on his face which was as cold as marble. He was as quiet as a puppet, his breathing was steady and even, and apart from the strong smell of alcohol on his body, there was no sign of drunkenness on his face alone.

Chen Kong tried to pull off the arm that was hooked around his neck, but surprisingly he encountered no resistance.

He placed Han Li's upper body on the pillow, then lifted his legs from the ground and threw them onto the bed. Han Li's clothes became wrinkled because of his series of actions, and his shoes and socks were not taken off. He looked like a corpse lying on the flat sheets.

Chen Kong let out a long breath and stood up straight, but he was caught off guard and met Han Li's eyes.

The other person's eyes were dark, and there was no expression on his pale face. The emotions in his eyes were deep and unfathomable. He just stared at Chen Kong who was standing at the foot of the bed, without moving his eyes. It was almost creepy.

Shen Kong was unsure whether he was conscious or not, so he slowly took a step forward and spoke tentatively:

"Boss Han, are you awake? Do you need anything?"

Han Li did not say anything either, but just stared at Chen Kong silently, with a faint light flickering in his eyes, as if it was a reflection of the light above his head, or as if it was some kind of flickering water color in his eyes.

Shen Kong took another step closer:

"Would you like some water?"

Han Li nodded.

Shen Kong walked to the independent bar at the end of the room, found a glass and filled it halfway with water, then walked towards the bed again.

He helped Han Li up and put the cup to his lips.

Before the rim of the cup touched Han Li's lips, Chen Kong felt a strong force pulling him downwards. He was caught off guard and staggered, losing his balance for a moment. He suppressed his subconscious reaction to fight back and fell straight down.

The water spilled.

The cup slipped out of his hand, rolled down the edge of the bed, and smashed into pieces on the floor.

From Chen Kong's cuffs and collar to Han Li's waist and abdomen, everything was wet, and the dark water stains on the bed sheets spread quickly.

Chen Kong placed one hand on Han Li's shoulder and supported himself with his other elbow on the bed, keeping their upper bodies at a safe distance.

However, this posture made their legs overlap and close together, and the cold water stuck their clothes tightly to their bodies, making the barrier of the clothes almost negligible. Chen Kong could almost feel the other person's skin warming up due to the heat of the wine. He tightened his chin in embarrassment, slightly arched his waist and abdomen, and tried to change the overly ambiguous posture.

But the next second after he moved, Han Li suddenly took a breath of cold air.

Chen Kong stopped moving with a complicated expression, clearly feeling that something had changed in the other person's body.

He looked down at Han Li who was framed between his arms.

Han Li's expression remained calm, without any unnecessary emotion on his face. He stared at Chen Kong motionlessly. If Chen Kong had not been still sticking to him, he would have almost thought that the other party's previous loss of composure was just an illusion.

He suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Shen Kong's collar, pulling him down: "You're back."

His voice was calm and sober, and Shen Kong's heart couldn't help but tremble slightly, but the next second, Han Li slowly frowned:

"You are not him."

Shen Kong breathed a sigh of relief, and he said in a soothing tone: “Yes, I am not, so can Mr. Han let me go?”

Han Li shook his head: "No."

Han Li was particularly difficult to deal with after getting drunk, and Chen Kong was not sure whether he would remember his current state after waking up, nor did he dare to subdue him by force, so the two of them could only stare at each other in shock.

After a long time, Han Li slowly repeated what he had just said:

“…You are not him.”

Chen Kong nodded helplessly. Before he could say anything, he heard Han Li move his lips slightly and continued to mutter:

"But...if you're not..."

His voice was very weak. If Shen Kong hadn't been close enough, he wouldn't have been able to catch the vague words in his throat: "...Then why can't I forget you?"

Shen Kong's heart suddenly choked. He didn't know why, but the frank and sincere doubt in the pair of dark eyes staring at him made him feel unable to look directly at them.

He raised his hand and covered Han Li's eyes.

When the other person blinked, the soft and slightly itchy touch of his furry eyelashes brushing against his palm made Shen Kong a little upset.

Before he could figure out what to do next, Han Li reached out and pulled off Shen Kong's hand that was covering his eyes, then pulled his collar down hard, raised his head and kissed him.

Shen Kong was stunned for a moment, and at the critical moment he propped himself up and barely avoided it.

Han Li's cold lips fell on his chin.

His eyes were instantly covered with a layer of sinister aggression, as if he was determined not to stop until blood was shed. He gritted his teeth and said, "Why are you hiding?"

Shen Kong looked down at him condescendingly.

There seemed to be a bit of bone-piercing pain deep in Han Li's pupils, like a wild beast that was injured and unwilling to let go of something it had bitten: "You have been hiding all the time. As long as I get a little closer, you will leave - whether it is your real self or your illusion, even in dreams, it is like this. Instead of this, it is better to start..."

——It would be better if you didn’t show up in the first place.

Suddenly, he paused.

Chen Kong's expression was unpredictable, his amber pupils were like a mirror devoid of any personal emotion, reflecting Han Li's face clearly.

Han Li's Adam's apple moved slowly up and down, and his tone suddenly became strangely calm:

"no."

He stared at Shen Kong steadily: “I don’t want to.”

Shen Kong suddenly leaned over and gently touched his lips.

Han Li was startled at first, then he rushed forward fiercely, like a long-awaited rain after a long drought. Chen Kong's warm palm supported the back of his neck, and his nimble fingers pressed lightly on his neck.

He fainted instantly.

Chen Kongyou lowered his eyes, staring at Han Li who was sleeping peacefully in his palm, then slowly placed his head on the pillow.

Han Li's eyes were closed unconsciously, his hair was scattered messily on his forehead, making him look fragile and innocent which was lacking in the daytime.

Chen Kong turned over and got out of bed, stood beside the bed, then turned around and walked to the door without looking back and turned off the light.

The room darkened instantly.

Shen Kong walked away while closing the door. Before the door was closed, a soft whisper slipped into the dark room through the crack of the door, like a sigh that would be blown away:

“It will pass.”

If his mission cannot be completed, he will be wiped out, and if his mission can be completed, he will return to his previous world.

No matter which situation it is, what Han Li is pursuing cannot be achieved.

But, everything will pass.

——After all, no matter how deep the emotions are, they cannot withstand the passage of time, and no matter how deep the pain is, it will always fade away.

He will let it go.

Shen Kongxin was determined.

He did not look inside the room again, but slowly and gently closed the door, leaving the darkness inside.

The corridor was brightly lit. Unlike the Han family residence, the decoration here was not luxurious, but extremely simple and cold, full of a sense of space and geometry. Shen Kong walked forward along the corridor, and before he was about to reach the stairs, the phone in his pocket suddenly buzzed.

Shen Kong took out his cell phone.

As expected, the phone screen displayed a message from an anonymous contact, and it was Brother Tang again urging him to seize the opportunity to steal the files.

Shen Kong sneered softly and put the phone back into his pocket.

But before he had taken two steps, he changed his mind, turned around, and walked towards the study on the same floor.

Unexpectedly, the study door was not closed.

Chen Kong slid sideways into the room lightly, and with the dim light in the corridor, he scanned the room sharply with his eyes accustomed to night vision, and found at least three cameras at different angles, but they were not a big problem. As long as he hacked into the closed-circuit surveillance and played the previously filmed scenes in a loop, there would be no problem.

He turned on the light, walked briskly to the desk, and simply flipped through the folders stacked on the desk.

Shen Kong glanced through the document, his brows slowly tightening.

He had almost figured out some clues, and combined with the original plot, he could almost infer a lot of things.

——At least several months ago, Han Li had already grasped the fatal weakness that could destroy the Han family. Judging from the data at hand now, Han Li has already shorted most of the companies controlled by the Han family. Coupled with some records of transfers and remittances, it can be found that he has already brought most of the executives under his control. It is like a huge and thorough net that has quietly wrapped up the entire Han family. What Chen Kong didn't understand was, since it has come to the point where the net can be closed, why has Han Li been hesitant to act?

When Shen Kong turned to the next document, his movements could not help but pause slightly.

This was the document that Brother Tang had instructed him to steal many times.

This is an urban development plan. Han Li bought the land from the government for development. The location is remote, but because that direction is exactly the area where the government is focusing on development and construction, there is no suspense that it will become a new commercial district in the future. Shen Kong's eyes stayed on the address of the document for a long time without moving his eyes. He called the system in his mind:

"In the main quest, where did Han Li shoot those three people?"

The system's mechanical voice seemed to be waiting for his call forever, and answered his question without pause: "Han family's main residence."

Chen Kong nodded thoughtfully: "Then where is the place where Han Li caught Han Zizhuo in the act?"

The system quickly reports a series of addresses.

Each syllable corresponds to a word on the document.

Shen Kong took a deep breath and finally understood Tang Ge's intention of asking him to steal the document.

——They finally decided to take action against Han Li.

In the original plot, Han Zizhuo was caught trying to kill Han Li. Han Li was furious when he learned that Han Zhuang and Bian Xianjing were also involved. He took Han Zizhuo to the Han family's main house to confront them, and there he learned the real cause of his mother's death.

The development of events is moving step by step towards the predetermined fate.

He scanned the start date on the document and the scheduled date for the relevant person in charge to arrive for supervision, and silently noted them down in his mind.

——Now that he knows the time and place, it will be easy. What he needs to ensure now is that Han Li and Han Zizhuo will arrive at the same time.

Shen Kong stood up, took a picture of the document and sent it to Brother Tang.

Then, he put the documents on the table back to their original order, ignored the images left in the surveillance camera, turned around and walked to the door, turned off the lights, turned around and left the study quietly.
