for fun
"Thank you for killing Chi Hengxun, which helped me eliminate the biggest obstacle."
Du Pianjian sank into the sofa, his eyes looking down at her through the cracks, a faint smile playing on his lips, not like he was laughing, but like he was watching a farce.
“A puppy that loves its brother. Is that what she said later?” Du Pianjian paused, her expression uncertain, but the corners of her mouth became even sharper. “It could also be a father’s love.”
"you!"
It was a secret known to everyone, yet no one dared to mention it in front of him.
Luo Zangrui couldn't hold back any longer, especially since Du Pianjian had said the same things Tan Zhenjing had said years ago, which made him grit his teeth in anger. Yet, he couldn't tear off his mask, and thus he erupted in fury. In reality, all his strength was used to resist the external pressure, and he couldn't stand up at all.
Du Pianjian's arm, which had been resting on the back of the chair, drooped down, two fingers dangling from the spine of the book: "This isn't Luo Zangqi's villa either; it's a one-to-one replica of yours."
Xiao Rui, no matter how much you imitate, you're not Luo Zangqi.
"I'm going to remove the mark from you!"
Luo Zangrui's leg convulsed and curled up beneath him, his knee buckling several times before snapping back to its normal position. He shakily stood up, using the bed for support. Gone was his previous confident demeanor; his expression was now vicious and cruel: "I'll show you who you should submit to. You'll pay for your slip of the tongue! Do you think you can get out of here? You'll stay here for the rest of your life, and you'll die here."
"You can't do it."
Du Pianjian glanced at the time on his bracelet, his admiring posture infuriating Luo Zangrui, who could only let out a few wisps of smoke from his seven orifices.
The permanent marker will guide the Alpha here, and both sides are well aware of this.
With bloodshot eyes, Luo Zangrui gritted his teeth and said, "I've changed my mind. I'm going to remove your glands and see if you can still use them to refuse me!"
How could he be exactly the same as Tan Zhenjing?
The exact same words, the exact same reasons.
Luo Zangrui took out a remote control from his suit pocket, pressed it hard on Du Pianjian, and with a beep, rows of infrared beams flashed across the window, completely sealing off the entire villa.
Luo Zangrui leaned against the wall and left the room, and the villa returned to silence.
Du Pianjian sat for a long time, until the darkness outside was so thick that it swallowed him up as well. Only then did he get up, turn on the light, and go back to the study. He calmly examined all his collections one by one, looking only for the pages with Tan Zhenjing's handwriting.
Those handwritings revealed Tan Zhenjing's true thoughts, about how to use her husband for pleasure, and Du Pianjian even had the mind to study them one by one. He knew that even if he didn't eat, drink, or sleep, as long as Yu Zou was healthy on the other side, he would never die.
I felt restless and uneasy.
Yu Zou's heart was pounding. He sat on the edge of the hospital bed like a forgotten sculpture. His upright back swayed slightly forward, a posture that was originally full of aggressive intent, but now only seemed heavy.
The left hand covered the tightly clenched right hand, and the forehead that was being pressed against it slowly lifted up.
Du Pianjian committed murder.
The questions posed by He Can and Sang Pingqiu during the day further confirmed this conclusion.
The person killed was Chi Hengxun.
Everything was completely different from what he had heard and heard over the past year. Things had spiraled out of control in a short period of time and seemed to be settling down, leaving him helpless to wait.
Yu Zou straightened up, opened his right hand, and a ring lay quietly in his palm.
It was Du Pianjian's wedding ring.
As if by fate, the symbolic ceremony actually returned the ring to him, albeit in an unexpected way.
In the moment he let go on the yacht, all he could hold onto was this ring.
The pointer points to 12 o'clock.
When the nurse came to check on him, Yu Zou had no choice but to obediently lie back down on the bed and pretend to be asleep.
The rustling sounds disappeared after the door closed. In the stuffy, heated room, a cool breeze crept onto his face. Yu Zou turned his head; the window was half open, probably forgotten to close it before the nurse left.
The cool breeze cleared his drowsy mind a bit, and he got up and walked to the window, wanting to open it wider.
Beneath the window, beside the boxwood tree, stood a girl, wearing the same hospital gown as him, looking up in their direction. Her long hair flowed freely; she was slender and frail, her face indistinct in the darkness.
Yu Zou's pupils dilated suddenly, and he pressed his fingers to his temples, trying to soothe his trembling eardrums.
If he hadn't seen it before, he would have almost thought it was Du Pianjian standing there.
On the evening she learned everything, she lay quietly in one of the wards at the Capital University Hospital.
She raised her wrist, the bracelet lit up, and the hyacinth icon of Ison slowly opened.
Without further hesitation, Yu Zou turned around and rushed out of the ward, running downstairs, only to see the girl walking on the other side of the road.
The girl walked at a steady pace, not hurried at all, and did not change her steps even when Yu Zou caught up with her, continuing to walk steadily forward.
"Who are you?"
There was no response.
Why are you wearing this bracelet?
Still silent.
"Who are you to Tong Mu?"
Yu Zou couldn't shake the absurd thought from his mind. But she really looked too much like Du Pianjian; if he were a girl, she would look just like that.
The girl stopped, slowly turned around, a hint of confusion in her dark eyes, and asked in a voice as delicate as her figure, "Why did you call him that?"
This time, it was Yu Zou who was puzzled: "What's wrong?" Then she realized that she really did know Tong Mu.
"Four years ago, in Aspen, at the casino."
Yu Zou was stunned and pale. He hadn't expected to receive these words and didn't know how they were related to the previous question.
"Luo Zangqi has his eye on your Omega, and he sent people to pursue you."
"Tong Mu?!"
The girl suddenly turned her back to him, her slender fingers brushing aside her long hair to reveal the scars on the back of her neck—two shocking incisions, each five centimeters long, with several vertical lines running along the horizontal lines, the marks of sutures. Only the middle section was completely sunken in.
Her glands were removed.
Yu Zou gasped, feeling as if his lungs were about to freeze.
"If I get caught, that'll be my fate." The girl turned back again. "Are you still going to betray him?"
His brain was like an old-fashioned television that had lost its signal; the screen was filled with static, and only a single signal remained to respond: "Who are you? How do you know all this?"
“I saw it, right next to Luo Zangqi, I saw it with my own eyes.”
Yu Zou frowned and distanced himself. Was he a spy planted by Luo Zangqi next to Du Pianjian, or someone Du Pianjian had snatched from Luo Zangqi?
If it's the former, then Ji Huisheng is in grave danger. He Chan repeatedly assured him that he wouldn't reveal the news that Ji Huisheng was still alive, for fear that the other side would try to kill him because of his existence.
If it is the latter, then Du Pianjian's situation is even worse, like a fish in a pot, entering a prison, a place isolated from the world, where he can only be slaughtered by others.
He had to do something immediately! Yu Zou forced himself to remain calm and asked her, "What is your purpose?"
"Just doing as I'm told." The girl raised her arm and pointed towards the side door, where the wisteria vines that had been supporting the wooden frame were now just withered branches, still completely blocking the path.
"Whose orders?"
"King of Spades".
Yu Zou glanced at the pitch-black road ahead: "What if I don't go?"
"They have another way to get you there."
Yu Zou walked forward, but the girl didn't follow. Following her instructions, he walked forward, crossed the street to the building on the other side, and went through the alley. The bracelet beeped.
"Go one hundred meters ahead, there's a black cab."
Yu Zou was bursting with doubt. He ran over and saw a black car with its hazard lights flashing in the corner. He opened the back door and got in, only to see two people in front of him.
The man in the driver's seat was wearing sunglasses and a mask, while Shi Nao in the passenger seat turned his head anxiously to ask about Yu Zou's situation.
"How are you?"
"Shi Nao, it's you?" Yu Zou asked, puzzled. "You know that girl too?"
"What girl?" Shi Nao was confused and didn't intend to ask any further questions. She handed over a set of identification documents. "Don't say anything, quick! Take these and run!"
Yu Zou glanced at it but didn't answer: "Escape? Where to?"
"Anywhere is fine, as long as I'm away from Du Pianjian."
"what happens?"
Shi Nao quickly glanced at the driver's seat, took a deep breath, and blurted out: "Explosion, playing cards, the King of Spades—all of this was caused by patients from St. Herle. They were reckless and risked their lives to get revenge. Du Pianjian is their leader, and all the patients who escaped from there obey his orders. And their plan tonight is to capture you."
"Then why are you here?"
Shi Nao lowered her head and nodded her chin toward the driver's seat: "He's one of them too."
Yu Zou turned his head in disbelief, but his all-black clothes obscured his view: "So you've cut off one link? Who is that girl?"
"Never mind it."
"It concerns the lives of the teacher and the letter."
Shi Nao clicked her tongue and turned her head: "Speak!"
"The vessel of Tan Zhenjing's glands, Luo Zangqi's lover. Rescued by Du Pianjian, she has been the trump card for overturning the table in the Three Courtyards." The person in the driver's seat spoke in a steady tone, and Yu Zou immediately recognized it as Secretary Tong.
Tong Tangming continued, "Chi Hengxun is confirmed dead, and Du Pianjian has been convicted of intentional injury. Before going to prison, he ordered Black Spade K to take you away."
"Why?"
"I don't know. He never says why, and his subordinates never ask."
Who is the King of Spades?
"I cannot tell you," Tong Tangming said dejectedly. "I cannot betray them any further, or I will want to die too."
"Also?" Yu asked.
An eerie silence filled the car. Shi Nao couldn't help but speak first: "Yu Zou, let's go."
Yu Zou took a deep breath: "I'm not leaving."
"Yu Zou!" Shi Nao was extremely anxious.
“There is a permanent mark between us; if I die, he will die too.”
Shi Nao scratched her hair in frustration and said, "I don't understand. Will that stop him from hurting you? You won't leave, and He Honghan won't leave either. What are you two thinking?"
Are you alright?
"Probably. Being tied up like this until now, I've already adjusted myself to taking a long vacation."
The door to the ward was pushed open, and a woman wearing a white coat, a white mask, and carrying a medical kit walked in. She stood frozen in place when she saw the empty room.
Without the slightest hesitation, the woman turned and walked towards the restroom, then made a phone call from a stall.
"The person has disappeared. What should we do next?"
