That night was very cozy in Duan Ye's place, but the other places weren't so lucky.
Duan Ze was cornered by Shen Niannian in the police station's dormitory.
"Tell me! Why didn't you bring me with you?!"
Duan Ze's face darkened: "Are you good at fighting, or at catching bad guys for me? Do you think I'm here on official business to play around?"
Shen Niannian: "Hmph, I don't care, I'll be wherever you are."
Just as Duan Ze was about to say something, Shen Niannian continued, "I'll obediently follow you. You do what you're doing, and I won't bother you. But I feel anxious every night when I can't see you."
Duan Ze was both amused and exasperated: "It's only been a few days, and you're already panicking? What if I have to go on a long business trip in the future, and you can't see me?"
It was originally just a joke, but Shen Niannian, who is usually unreliable, said very seriously, "No matter where you are, I will go."
"If I don't see him, I'll wait at the door. If I don't see him in one day, I'll wait one day; if I don't see him in ten days, I'll wait ten days; if I don't see him in ten years, I'll wait ten years."
"Brother, I can't leave you."
"If Niannian is yours, she can only follow you for the rest of her life."
Shen Niannian lowered her head and hugged his waist.
Duan Ze sighed helplessly, "Sigh, you little rascal, you're really...incredibly clingy."
Shen Niannian: "I've always been clingy. You've known me for a while now. We agreed to get our marriage certificate after the engagement, and then have the wedding later..."
Shen Niannian looked resentful: "The wedding date has been set, are we able to go back and get married on time?"
Duan Ze embraced her, glanced up at the dark sky outside, and answered firmly, "Yes."
Shen Niannian felt a pang of unease. How could Duan Ye and Luo Qingyuan get their marriage certificate so easily, while she and Duan Ze had this mess...
"Brother, you promised me..."
"Our wedding will definitely take place as planned, right?"
Shen Niannian is very persistent because it was not easy for her to marry the person she loves.
She wanted to officially become Duan Ze's wife in front of everyone.
Duan Ze nodded: "Okay, I promise you."
That night, they slept in each other's arms in the dormitory. Duan Ze couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Shen Niannian's dark circles under her eyes, and he hugged her even tighter with tenderness.
Meanwhile, the Fang family was far away in Kyoto.
Fang Rou was sitting in front of her computer working when a message came in: Miss Shen Niannian has arrived at her destination safely.
Fang Rou looked at the message, her eyes softening considerably, but at the same time, she remained in that position for a long time without moving.
After an unknown amount of time, Fang Rou got up and stretched, then looked out at the pitch-black night.
Neither she nor Duan Ze actually liked such dark nights, as they gave people a very oppressive feeling.
but…
Your fiancée has arrived in your life. You must be very happy today, right?
"The old Fang Rou couldn't stay with you for long, so... I'll let Shen Niannian stay with you for a lifetime. That way... you'll be very happy, right?"
Fang Rou's gaze fell on the photo frame on the table. It was a group photo of her and Duan Ze.
She was reading in the study when Duan Ze ran in with his camera, set it up, hugged her from behind, cheek to cheek, and made her give him several "V" signs.
Back then, she laughed at him for being childish, saying he was in college and still liked doing these things…
Duan Ze laughed at her, "You're not happy now, but when we break up someday, these photos will be your most precious memories..."
"I'll give you these treasures, Fang Rou. I'm a very stingy person. If you ever don't want me anymore, I'll punish you. You'll never escape my shadow for the rest of your life!"
Fang Rou wasn't angry. She smiled and asked him, "Hmm? You're punishing me? What if you don't want me anymore?"
Duan Ze: "Never. You will never be my second choice."
"To me, you will always be number one."
"But if you don't want me anymore, I won't wait for you. I'll find a girl I like and live a peaceful life. You won't be able to back out then."
With the past vivid in her mind, Fang Rou smiled deeply, but if someone looked closely, they could see the tears in her eyes.
"You really are... a man of your word."
She is here now, waiting for a wedding that is not hers. Once the wedding takes place as scheduled, she should leave.
Fang Rou picked up the glass, tilted her head back, and drank the red wine in it in one gulp.
Everyone in the Fang family had left, leaving only her here.
This is something she owes Duan Ze, so it's her responsibility to repay it.
Deep in a jungle in Bianhe County, underground.
Jiang Jingwen was slapped across the face and then forced to kneel on the ground by two tall, burly men.
Jiang Jingwen kept his head down, making it impossible to see his expression.
"Yang Hao's arrest was due to negligence on the part of my men, but Yang Hao will definitely not expose our location. He's tight-lipped, and his mother is still in our hands..."
The person standing in front of Jiang Jingwen did not turn around, but gave a sarcastic smile and said, "In this world, I only believe that the dead can keep their mouths shut."
Jiang Jingwen: "Yang Hao has followed me for many years..."
"You're not reconciled now? Back in the capital, who looked down on the Duan brothers?"
Jiang Jingwen dared not speak.
"If you had figured out who your real enemy was back then, would you have been forced into this situation today?!"
“Jiang Jingwen, it is you who needs my help, not the other way around. If Yang Hao doesn’t die, our deal will end here.”
After saying that, the man threw the cigarette on the ground and crushed it.
The person holding Jiang Jingwen released him and then followed the other person out.
"I'm only giving you seven days. If you don't get the result I want in seven days, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself."
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone had already left.
Jiang Jingwen was left sitting alone on the ground.
"Duan Ye!" Jiang Jingwen called out the name slowly and deliberately, his hatred reaching its very core.
Why is it always this person who ruins things? It seems like as long as Duan Ye is around, he'll never get anything done!
Jiang Jingwen forcefully suppressed his anger, stood up, and then walked out.
He needed to devise a meticulous plan as soon as possible, selecting the most trustworthy and outstanding people, and sparing no effort to ensure that Yang Hao would never be able to speak.
"Go and have the people over there check if the amulet has reached Yang Hao..."
"Yes, boss."
Someone hurriedly took the order and left.
It was already late at night, but Jiang Jingwen was still playing a grand game of chess.
A black sedan drove out of the mountains and disappeared into Wenzhou County as dawn broke.
The sky brightened quickly; the weather was clear and cloudless, and everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction.
Duan Ye got up very early today. If he had nothing to do, he actually loves to sleep in.
But there's nothing I can do; the clowns outside are keeping him awake at night.
Duan Ye yawned as he called Xiao Wu over: "Hurry up and have someone prepare breakfast. Let's eat and then we'll set off."
Xiao Wu asked in confusion, "Where are you going?"
Duan Ye smiled mysteriously: "Going off to do something naughty..."
