In a Las Vegas villa, the early morning sunlight streamed through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows onto the face of a man lying on the bed, his body covered in medical tape. The man, who had developed muscle memory from the daytime fighting, subconsciously felt someone approaching. Without even opening his eyes, he suddenly raised his hand and, relying solely on feel, grabbed the person's slender throat, about to use force.
"Brother Zhan--" Biaozi, who came in from behind, spoke hurriedly. The person on the bed paused and opened his eyes.
Reality, dreams, and the stress reactions of the past few days intertwined for a moment. Zhan Peng's mind was confused. He narrowed his eyes and saw that he was pinching his wife's neck. He suddenly let go.
"Yana... I... I didn't know it was you..."
Yana covered her throat with her slender hands and coughed a few times, wiped away the tears that flowed physiologically, and put the medicine in her hand on the table.
"Let Biaozi change your medicine. I'm going to go see the kids first."
Her eyebrows were drooping, and she still looked as gentle as before, but Zhan Peng knew that she was angry. When she was angry, she would say nothing, turn around and leave, hiding all her emotions in her heart and digest them by herself. If she couldn't digest them, they would turn into a lump.
"Yana..." Zhan Peng pulled her back, "Didn't he hurt me with his clumsy behavior?"
As Zhan Peng spoke, he glared at Biaozi at the door.
Biaozi touched his nose and said, "Danmin likes me more, I'll go play with her."
"Let me go." Yana pulled her hand back.
"Baby, I won't bully you. Can you help me change the medicine? I have something else to do after that."
Zhan Peng was fully awake at this time. He had to go out and deal with A Long's affairs. His wife and children would be fine here, but A Long was in a very dangerous situation because he had gotten involved.
Yana rubbed her wrist, pursed her lips and said nothing, uncovered the wound on his body that had been treated with anti-inflammatory and covered with gauze, and then sprinkled the medicine powder on it.
Although a year had passed, her technique of applying medicine and bandaging was still as skillful as every time she bandaged him before, and her hands were so gentle that it made people feel itchy.
The man's Adam's apple moved, and he spoke in a hoarse voice,
"Don't go anywhere these days. Stay here with the children. I'll take you away when I'm done."
Yana still didn't say anything.
"Don't worry, I'm the father of two kids now. I can't be as foolish as before. I said I'd let you go, and I will definitely do it. But now I'm being targeted, and it's not safe for you to stay here. Think about it these few days. Where do you want to go? Tell me when you've made up your mind, and I'll take you there. If you like to open a shop, I can help you, okay?"
Although Zhan Peng is good at sweet-talking and coaxing women, he is always nonchalant. It is rare for him to be so humble as this.
"No need." The woman behind him said in a faint voice, "Just take Danmin and me back to Chiang Mai. I can handle the rest myself."
"As a woman with a child, what can you solve?" Zhan Peng turned around and was about to continue speaking when the woman behind him interrupted him.
"I've gotten through the hardest times. I know how to survive. You don't have to worry about me."
At the beginning, it was because she knew that he had spent a lot of money on her, and she always felt that she owed him. She had no ability and her family conditions were average, so she could not pay him back at all, so she had to swallow her anger again and again. Now she really doesn't want to go through the same path again.
"Danmin is also my daughter. It is only natural for me to arrange your life." Zhan Peng sighed, feeling deeply powerless.
"I won't stop you from treating her well. You keep what belongs to Danmin. When she grows up, if she wants something, she can ask you for it. But she will stay with me. I will do my best to fulfill my responsibilities as a mother and raise her well."
Zhan Peng's bruised mouth twitched, his heart aching. "Yana, does it have to be like this between us? Even if you hate me, at least we still have two children."
"Zhan Peng." Yana stuck the last medical adhesive strip on the gauze and turned around to pack up.
"I don't hate you, nor do I hate your stance. Ultimately, I just don't want to live the life I had before. We are who we are, and children are children. They shouldn't become victims of their parents' feelings.
I will tell Danmin that you are her father, and if she wants to find you when she grows up, I won't stop her. But she is too young now, and I am the one who brought her up, so please don't fight with me for her, okay?"
"I didn't, baby, I just want to make it up to you." Zhan Peng's heart began to ache again. In the past, he could say sweet words easily, but now they have become like a gourd with a sawed mouth. He doesn't know how to pour out all the words in his heart.
"Okay, I will stay here obediently and leave with you. We can talk about the rest after we leave." Yana frowned tiredly, packed up her things and left, without even looking at his face from beginning to end.
"Brother Zhan." Biaozi walked in with a serious face.
"Just received news that six members of the armed team were killed. The remaining five, including Lu Ge and Fu Chai, took hostages into the desert and their whereabouts are unknown."
"Damn, this kid A'long is so fucking tough. He was able to take hostages and escape after a shootout with so many armed policemen." Zhan Peng's face was no longer gentle as when he faced his wife just now. After a short rest, the bloody beast in the jungle of northern Myanmar was full of energy and murderous intent again.
"Biaozi, where is Zanlong? Have you told my wife about him?"
"In the basement, he's still unconscious and seriously injured. I didn't tell you because I was afraid Sister Yana would cause trouble for you."
"Yeah." Zhan Peng poked his cheek with the tip of his tongue. "Don't let anyone die. Wait until I find A'long, then I'll deal with him."
