Chapter 29
Mo Yousen joined NK and became a waiter. At the beginning, he was always full of energy, working hard to wipe tables, sweep the floor and sell wine. The guests in the private room were willing to buy more bottles because of his good looks.
But there were always some unscrupulous people who would make advances on Mo Yousen, and he gradually lost interest in going to work. He had a sullen face every day, which made customers feel disappointed and unwilling to buy his wine. Mo Yousen was even more anxious because he couldn't get his commission. What could be more important than making money?
He started to go back to his old job and greeted every customer in the box with a smile every day. Even if he felt extremely disgusted, he would force himself to finish selling. If the orders were large, Mo Yousen would go up and serve the drinks himself. He worked so many jobs that he almost took up all the positions in the bar.
Mo Yousen had lived peacefully in the bar for eight months, but unexpectedly, an accident struck. One day, when he was serving drinks to a customer in a private room, the customer flirted with him. When Mo Yousen didn't react, he tried to touch his waist. Mo Yousen pushed the man away and fled downstairs to hide in the bathroom.
Nothing can be as good as God's plan. It was as if the heavens were deliberately playing tricks on him. He unexpectedly met the person he had been dreaming of here. The moment Yan Yuheng protected him, his heart melted into mud, and he couldn't hold back his tears. But he hated himself, hated his cowardice and incompetence, and hated his bad luck. He had to avoid sullying Yan Yuheng's body. He could only push away the person he loved most and flee. He quit the job he had waited so hard for, determined to say goodbye to the past.
If the ending is destined that we will meet, then I would rather not have this ending.
…
"Found it! Found it!" The bar owner excitedly handed the phone to Zhang Qianyi with both hands. "A foreman said this is one of his people!"
Yan Yuheng grabbed the phone before Zhang Qianyi and clicked on the voice call without thinking.
"Hello? Boss, what's up?"
Yan Yuheng's voice was hoarse. "Let me ask you, how long has he been here? Where does he live now? Tell me everything you know about him."
"Ah? I don't know. When I hired him, he told me he didn't have any credentials, so his base salary was 500 yuan less than others. I only have screenshots of the Alipay transfer between him and A Fei. A Fei doesn't come from a poor family, but he's very dedicated to his work. If he gets into trouble, could you please be kind enough to help him..."
Yan Yuheng's voice became even louder. "A Fei? What A Fei? Why don't you hire people without ID?" He then looked at Zhang Qianyi sharply, "What a great team you've led! You don't even check IDs when hiring people!"
Zhang Qianyi raised his hands and said, "It has nothing to do with me. There are so many cultural, entertainment and media companies under my group. I can't manage them one by one." Seeing Yan Yuheng staring at Zhang Qianyi fiercely, Hu Yichen gently pushed Zhang Qianyi away and protected him behind him, staring at Yan Yuheng arrogantly with his fox eyes.
Yan Yuheng suddenly became even more furious and shouted at the other end of the phone: "Send the screenshot! Are you waiting for me to come to you!?"
The other party immediately hung up and sent a few screenshots. Yan Yuheng quickly scanned them. Eight months' salary meant he'd only been working there for eight months, but why was his real-name authentication name *Fei? The other party sent another phone number, with a text message indicating it was Ah Fei's number.
Yan Yuheng immediately sent someone to check the mobile phone’s GPS location and real-name authentication, and at the same time asked the police station to check the surveillance footage to find Mo Yousen.
Under intense pressure, all units worked efficiently. Having a cell phone number made locating people much easier. Yan Yuheng quickly learned that the number belonged to Ji Fei. All of Ji Fei's information was retrieved and sent to his phone. GPS also pinpointed Mo Yousen's current location at the cemetery.
"Zhang Qianyi! You go to Ji Fei's house. I'll go to the cemetery to find Xiao Sen. He's at Aunt Sanshui's..."
Zhang Qianyi nodded, took Hu Yichen's hand and was about to leave when he heard Yan Yuheng calling them from behind, "Wait, Zhang Qianyi... I'm going to find Ji Fei. Please bring Xiaosen back, he might not want to see me..."
Zhang Qianyi looked at Yan Yuheng's lost expression and wanted to go over and comfort him. He raised his arms to put them around Yan Yuheng's shoulders and pat him like he did when they were little. Suddenly, he remembered something and turned around to see Hu Yichen standing over him, staring at him angrily with his fists clenched. Zhang Qianyi wanted to laugh at the way Hu Yichen was trying so hard to control his temper. He put his arms on Yan Yuheng's shoulders and patted him gently.
Yan Yuheng didn't notice the undercurrent between the two of them. He frowned and looked frustrated. "Okay, let's go. I'm counting on you."
Raindrops pounded down in the night, hitting Yan Yuheng's car like a drumbeat, like waves of white noise lulling him to sleep. The thick, suffocating feeling inside the car made Yan Yuheng breathless. He half-opened the driver's window, and the rain outside, carried by the wind, slammed into his seat, soaking his shirt. The wind outside the window whimpered, as if proud of its own work. Yan Yuheng suppressed his anger, closed the window, and slammed the steering wheel hard.
"Damn it! You're against me in everything! There's a traffic jam and it's raining!" After saying that, he pressed the horn hard, making a harsh sound, "Get out! Get out!" Yan Yuheng pressed the horn every time he said something, and drove to Ji Fei's address that was uploaded on the phone while cursing.
"Knock knock knock", a series of rapid knocks came from outside the door, and the knocks kept coming as if they would not stop until the door was opened.
"Come here, stop knocking." Ji Fei muttered as he put on his slippers and went to open the door. "If I wake up the neighbors, I'll get scolded again."
As soon as Ji Fei finished saying this and opened the door, the neighbor next door pushed open his door with a "bang".
The fat woman next door pointed her finger at Yan Yuheng's nose with a haughty expression, "You're screwed! You're banging in the middle of the night, and no one else needs to sleep!" Then she turned to Ji Fei and rolled her eyes at her, "How many times have I told you that I can't sleep well, so don't make any loud noises next door! Don't you understand me?"
Ji Fei's heart trembled when he saw who the man in front of him was. If he could find this place, he must have found Mo Yousen. He wouldn't blame me for hiding Mo Yousen, right? If he wanted to deal with me, it would be easy.
Yan Yuheng leaned his hands against the door frame, his back slightly hunched, his eyes tightly shut as he breathed heavily. Suddenly, his eyes snapped open and he turned to look at the woman. The woman was first attracted by his appearance and was stunned for two seconds, then her sarcastic expression returned and she looked at him with disdain.
Yan Yuheng scowled, pulling his wallet from his suit pants. Luckily, having just returned home, he had cash in both countries. He promptly took out all the cash, stepped forward, and threw it into the woman's home. His eyes flashed with ferocity, and his lips parted. "Get in there! If I hear you make any noise next door, I'll send someone to smash your house to pieces."
The woman was frightened by his ferocious look and slammed the door shut without even turning back. She could still hear the lock being locked from inside.
Ji Fei invited Yan Yuheng into the room and sat him at the dining table. He poured him a glass of warm water and placed it next to him. The only places in the house where people could sit were the sofa and the dining table. The coffee table next to the sofa was too small, so Yan Yuheng had to sit at the dining table.
Yan Yuheng drank some water and calmed down, but his eyes were still sharp as he looked at Ji Fei. "I need to know everything that happened to him, including how you met, and... Forget it, just tell me this for now."
Ji Fei placed his hands on his legs and lowered his head, "I promised him I wouldn't tell him about this."
Yan Yuheng knocked the water cup on the table with a "bang". Ji Fei looked up and luckily not much water was poured, otherwise he would have to clean up himself if the young master spilled the water.
"I'm his boyfriend, I should know this. You secretly hid my boyfriend, and I haven't even come to terms with you yet!" Yan Yuheng folded his arms, leaning back in his chair and looking at Ji Fei. A future boyfriend is still a boyfriend, so it wasn't a lie. Besides, he and Mo Yousen had confessed their feelings six years ago and even kissed. Mo Yousen had to be responsible for him!
Ji Fei was obviously anxious, "I didn't! He and I just met by chance."
"Please tell me everything about him. In the six years since he disappeared, I have searched all the sanatoriums, resort hotels, and islands at home and abroad. Why did he disappear without a trace, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth? There is no news about him anywhere. You can't imagine how painful it is for me. I haven't had a good night's sleep in these six years! I need sleeping pills every day to fall asleep, and I wake up in the middle of the night with his figure in my dreams. So, I beg you, I want to know what happened to him over the years." Yan Yuheng had no choice but to sit dejectedly on the stool and let the tears in his eyes fall onto the stool.
Seeing this scene, Ji Fei felt heartbroken. He felt like a thief who had interfered with other people's feelings. Now that the real owner had returned, he, the thief, would return everything he had. Yan Yuheng was able to do this for Mo Yousen and give Mo Yousen his own identity. Mo Yousen must be happier than anyone else with Yan Yuheng by his side. What qualifications did he have to compete with him?
Ji Fei's face was frozen, and he spoke stiffly, "He only told me that his father had an affair, and that his mother and grandfather were both dead. He hit his father's illegitimate child with his car, leaving him disabled. I don't know why you went to a sanatorium or something like that to look for him, but he had a very hard time these past few years. He was in jail for two years and then his father locked him up in a mental hospital for three years. He finally escaped and met me. You should know that he helped my family with some money when he was in high school, and I've saved some of it over the years. After I found him, I gave him the money that belonged to him."
Yan Yuheng listened to Ji Fei's words with tears in his eyes and clenched his fists and slammed them hard on the table, "That old bastard Mo Guozheng! He will not die a good death!"
Everything made sense now. Why had he been unable to find him all these years, no matter what connections he had used or where he went? It turned out he had been looking in the wrong direction from the very beginning. The crippled man Zhang Qianyi had seen at the Mo family was actually his illegitimate son. So good of you, Mo Guozheng, for playing us in circles.
Yan Yuheng stood up angrily, his stool rubbing against the tiles with a sharp, piercing sound. He turned and strode away, his phone still clutched in his hand, ready to make a call. When he reached the door, Ji Fei stopped Yan Yuheng again, "Wait, Mo Yousen doesn't seem to be in a good mental state. Now that you're back, find him a good psychiatrist."
Yan Yuheng seemed to understand something when he saw Ji Fei's worried expression, but he wasn't sure. He nodded slightly, dialed a number, and left.
When Yan Yuheng saw the call was connected, he immediately said, "Hello, Dad. Are you asleep?"
Yan Yuan was furious. "You woke me up even though I was asleep! What a ridiculous question!"
"That's great. I have good news for you. Xiao Sen has been found."
Pei Man snatched the phone away, and she spoke tremblingly, "Where is he? Is he doing well? Are you still blaming your mother for what she did back then..."
Yan Yuheng laughed sarcastically, "I believe that after hearing what he's been through over the years, you'll hate yourself more than I do."
Pei Man burst into tears upon hearing this. Seeing this, Yan Yuan asked Yan Yuheng, "Explain yourself clearly."
Yan Yuheng clenched the steering wheel tightly and said with gritted teeth, "That old bastard Mo Guozheng! He cheated on his wife and had an illegitimate child! The so-called adopted son he kept by his side is actually his biological son! The deaths of Tang Miao and Tang Tianlin are definitely related to Mo Guozheng. Xiao Sen was imprisoned for two years by that bastard Mo Guozheng and then put into a mental hospital!" Yan Yuheng cruelly revealed the truth without giving anyone any psychological preparation. He said lightly, "Mom, if Xiao Sen had stayed with us back then, he wouldn't have gone through this. This time, I don't care whether you agree with the relationship between him and me. I'm determined to have this person! I will repay him for everything I owe him, the Yan family owes him, and Mo Guozheng owes him in the past six years."
Yan Yuan's voice was amplified by the car speakers, and his sobs and helplessness could be heard. "Take Xiao Sen home. Come over for dinner more often when you have time. Your mother and I...have long since stopped objecting."
As soon as Yan Yuan finished speaking, he heard Pei Man screaming on the other end of the phone, "Yan Yuan! Find out for me! Find out everything about Mo Guozheng! I want him to die without a burial place!"
Yan Yuan said speechlessly: "A society ruled by law!"
Yan Yuheng was too lazy to pay attention to the two people on the other end of the phone who started bickering again. The most urgent thing was to meet up with Zhang Qianyi first, or it was more important to see Xiaosen.
Yan Yuheng's fundamental purpose in making this call wasn't to actually tell them he'd found Xiao Sen. He wanted to use Yan Yuan and Pei Man to get to the bottom of everything. He'd been in Country M for so many years, completely unaware of the complexities of Ningcheng. All the forces and resources were there, so he could only rely on Yan Yuan and Pei Man to get the information he wanted. He knew full well that they wouldn't give up once they knew what was going on. Furthermore, Pei Man had also secretly investigated several sanatoriums over the years, but like him, she hadn't found any useful information.
