Upon returning home, he found the room dimly lit. Had Nightwing not come today? Looks like he'd have to eat instant noodles.

Guo Zhengkai casually tossed his briefcase aside and, without resting, took off his suit and leather shoes in a few quick movements as he walked towards the kitchen. No longer letting these external things restrain his mind and body, he entered the spotless kitchen barefoot, took out instant noodles from the cupboard, quickly poured in hot water, covered it, and carefully placed it on the low table in the living room. Looking at his watch, calculating how much longer until he could eat dinner, Guo Zhengkai couldn't help but sigh softly.

He'd been incredibly busy these past few days, spending three days and nights holed up in the law firm searching for clues and loopholes to exonerate his client. He'd finally managed a victory, adding another stroke to his undefeated record, but no one wanted to share his joy. Each of his colleagues preferred to go home and get a good night's sleep rather than treat his stomach, which he'd been abusing for days, to a lavish shark fin feast. But he couldn't blame them; if he hadn't taken a nap before the trial, he probably would have succumbed to sleepiness and caught up in sleep in the car, leaving no energy to eat this nutritionally deficient instant noodles at home!

Guo Zhengkai had just picked up his chopsticks and swallowed his first bite of noodles when he heard his iron gate being unlocked… He glanced at the clock; it was only five o'clock, wasn't it? Nightwing knew that he was busy with a difficult case these past few days and wouldn't be bothered by anyone, so the only one who could come was…

"Hey, you're home? Is there anything to eat? I'm starving." Ah! [There's instant noodles...] The man who unceremoniously grabbed the instant noodles in front of him and started eating them was none other than his best friend and frenemy of the past ten years—Lei Gang. Looking at his half-eaten dinner, Guo Zhengkai could only resign himself to his bad luck. Why did this guy always appear when he was exhausted and steal his food? Normally, he was nowhere to be found.

[Where have you been? Why didn't you go home and take a shower before rushing here to steal my food? You're filthy and smell awful!] Guo Zhengkai shifted his body, unwilling to get too close to Lei Gang.

[You know we police officers don't have time for such trivial things as appearance. We're just grateful to have a good night's sleep. This week I was supposed to stake out a major drug dealer. I heard he had a drug deal to make, but after a week of tracking him, I made absolutely no progress. Either our informant was messing with us, or he had already realized we were following him and canceled the operation. So the boss gave me a day to go home and recharge before playing hide-and-seek with him!] Lei Gang, who had finished his instant noodles in a few bites, still licked his lips unsatisfied, staring at Guo Zhengkai with an unfulfilled expression, as if hoping he would bring out something else to fill his bottomless stomach.

"Then why did you come here? Back at your house, you're always well taken care of, unlike now where you can't even fill your stomach!" Guo Zhengkai conceded, getting up and going to the kitchen to make two more bowls of instant noodles, one for each of them.

"I thought Ye Yi would be here! She always cooks lots of delicious food to keep you healthy and strong, unlike my old woman who cooks things only pigs would eat, it's disgusting!" "

You've been eating like that for over twenty years, and you're still alive and well, aren't you? Ye Yi is my girlfriend, not yours. Are you trying to steal her away by coming over so often?" Guo Zhengkai joked, knowing Lei Gang never meant it that way; it was just that his girlfriend cooked so deliciously that Lei Gang couldn't resist the temptation.

[No wonder people say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach! I'm plain-looking, not half as handsome as you, and I don't earn as much money, but I change girlfriends much faster than you. You and Ye Yi have been dating for over three years, and in those three years I've had about ten girlfriends, but none of them were willing to stay with me long-term. I really want to find an understanding girl, as virtuous as Ye Yi, but that's so hard to find. Zheng Kai, if one day you break up with Ye Yi, you have to leave her with me, your brother! It's good to keep her in the family; I'd be happy to take her in for you!] Lei Gang finally put down his chopsticks, nestled in the leather sofa, and rested to recover his energy.

[You? Although Ye Yi isn't very pretty, I only like her, so you can forget about it! I will never break up with her; I still need her to feed me!] Guo Zhengkai stood up and gave the sofa to Lei Gang, then went into the bedroom to take a hot shower to relax his tense nerves and allow his tired body to fully recover. As he let the hot water wash over his slender frame, a strange presence made him look up at the bathroom door. There stood Lei Gang, completely naked, preparing to enter.

"Hey, can't you see I'm taking a shower?" Guo Zhengkai quickly turned off the water and put on his bathrobe.

"I'm exhausted. We've showered together before, so what's the big deal? I want to go to bed early unless you let me climb into your bed covered in stench. Then I'll go to sleep right now!" "

Sleep my foot! If you don't wash every inch of yourself clean, you can sleep on the floor. The floor is cleaner than you anyway." Guo Zhengkai gave up the bathroom and quickly walked to the waterbed in the center of the bedroom.

"Honestly, all he cares about is his bed. I'm so tired my eyes are practically panda eyes, and he won't even give me a break." "I really don't understand. It's only been a month since we last met, why did I have to waste this precious day off on this cold-blooded guy?" Despite muttering to himself, Lei Gang diligently washed himself, getting rid of all the sweat and grime and feeling refreshed.

"Hey, move aside! You should at least leave me half the bed! You're sleeping on most of it, not even leaving me a spot. Do you expect me to sleep on the floor?" Lei Gang pushed Guo Zhengkai, who was lying across the bed occupying most of it, and immediately lay down whenever a gap appeared, afraid that he wouldn't have a place to sleep if he was even a fraction of a second late.

"Hey, why do you always squeeze into my bed? You know this waterbed I specially airlifted from Germany is a treatment bed for relieving fatigue. If you squeeze in with me, won't the effect be halved?" "

It's precisely because I know how powerful your bed is that I came here specifically to sleep on it. Otherwise, how will I have the energy to chase criminals the day after tomorrow!" "

Have you ever thought about changing jobs? You've been a policeman for three or four years, and you haven't been promoted at all. You graduated from a prestigious university, so finding a good job shouldn't be difficult. I can even introduce you to a few high-paying, easy jobs that won't require you to run around so much every day!" Guo Zhengkai finally turned around and looked at Lei Gang, who was resting with his eyes closed.

"No need. I know you mean well, but we've been friends for so long, and you should know my personality. Besides being a policeman, I really can't find any other job that I'd be willing to do for so long. Just as you enjoy the sense of accomplishment when you win a case, I also love the joy of finally catching a criminal after a lot of hardship. Please don't try to persuade me anymore! By the way, I heard you just won another case. Even my team members said you're amazing, and they said if we catch a criminal, they hope you won't be their defense lawyer, otherwise they won't have the confidence to catch criminals, and it would be a waste of time!" Lei Gang couldn't help but grin, recalling the love-hate expressions on his colleagues' faces when they talked about Guo Zhengkai. Having such a capable friend made him feel quite proud, even though no one knew he and Guo Zhengkai had been friends for over a decade.

"That's because your evidence wasn't sufficient, and the lead prosecutor wasn't good enough. Besides, my expertise is in civil litigation; I rarely handle big cases like yours. However, if we ever meet in court, I won't hold back." As he spoke, Guo Zhengkai let out a big yawn. "Going to sleep. I don't have to work tomorrow; I want to sleep in. Don't disturb me..." "

You're the one who started this..."

Lei Gang mumbled a couple of times, then pulled the covers over himself and fell asleep. In an instant, the spacious bedroom was filled only with the sounds of their breathing and the air conditioner, a tranquility that made one reluctant to wake up... (

When Lei Gang woke up feeling refreshed, he still didn't know where he was until he saw Guo Zhengkai sleeping soundly beside him. Only then did he remember that he had gone to Guo Zhengkai's house to rest again.

Every month, he would go to Guo Zhengkai's house for a day or two, whether for meals or sleep. He felt uneasy if he didn't see Guo Zhengkai each month, as if something was missing. But whenever he was extremely tired, a nap next to Guo Zhengkai would make him feel energetic and full of vitality! His teammates once asked him what his secret to maintaining such high energy was. He told them this story, and they laughed at him all day, saying he was a child who never grew up!

However, since he regained his energy as long as he stayed by Guo Zhengkai's side, and Guo Zhengkai never chased him away, why wouldn't he? Besides, with Nightwing, a skilled cook, providing them with nutrition, he would come here whenever he had free time, and even his mother had nagged him about it several times! Thinking of this, Lei Gang couldn't help but laugh out loud. What kind of mother would be jealous of her son's friend? It was truly hilarious!

[What's making you laugh so much as soon as you wake up?] A lazy voice sounded from beside him. Guo Zhengkai, exuding an air of decadence, sat up, his loose hair falling across his forehead, obscuring his usually shrewd eyes and adding a touch of childlike innocence to his handsome face! This left Lei Gang, who had seen Guo Zhengkai wake up countless times, speechless, once again marveling at his friend's handsomeness. Why were there such handsome people in the world? And he was his friend! If he weren't already taken,

who knew how many women he would have bothered?

He hadn't forgotten how Guo Zhengkai was a master of seduction back in high school and college. At such a young age, he had women several years his senior completely under his thumb, driving many women crazy for him, willing to do anything to win his favor. This made other men envious and jealous, and he was one of them. If Guo Zhengkai hadn't always chosen to maintain friendships with women, he didn't know if he would have remained friends with him for ten years, still loyal to this day.

However, Zhengkai eventually met his nemesis—Xia Yeyi. At first, he couldn't understand why Xia Yeyi, who wasn't particularly beautiful or well-built, could have captivated Guo Zhengkai for three years. But after spending time together, he understood. Xia Yeyi possessed a gentle, virtuous, and reassuring quality that he couldn't find in other women. Plus, she was the owner of a teahouse, with superb cooking skills that everyone praised. No wonder she had kept Zhengkai by her side for so long without any change in their feelings! Thinking about this, he felt endless admiration for Xia Yeyi!

[What are you thinking about? Your expressions are so rich, you could be an actress.] Guo Zhengkai brushed aside his messy hair, picked up the bathrobe from the bedside, and put it on.

[Huh? Zhengkai, have you lost weight again?] Lei Gang watched Guo Zhengkai put on the bathrobe, but noticed that Guo Zhengkai seemed even thinner than the last time he saw him.

[Really? Maybe it's because I've been working on cases for the past month with irregular meals. It's good this way! I won't have a big belly when I go out for business dinners. People even said I look better and better in a suit, and I could be a TV commercial star!] Guo Zhengkai picked up the phone on the bedside table and dialed a few numbers. The call was answered shortly.

[Is this Nightwing? I'm home. Do you have time to come over and cook me a big meal... Lei Gang is here too. If you're coming over, buy plenty of ingredients. The fat pig next to me can eat anything, so don't worry... Okay, I'll wait for you at the supermarket upstairs. See you later.] "

Is Nightwing coming over? More good food is coming." Lei Gang's mouth watered at the thought.

"If you want to eat, go buy the ingredients! Go change your clothes!" Guo Zhengkai opened the wardrobe, took out two sets of casual clothes, tossed one to Lei Gang, and picked up the other, heading towards the bathroom.

"Seriously, we're all men, does he need to hide in the bathroom like a woman to change?" Lei Gang quickly put on the clothes Guo Zhengkai had given him. As soon as he put them on, a faint scent of cologne wafted over, making Lei Gang sneeze. "

If you're a man, don't wear perfume!" "

So, you think you're a man just because you smell like sweat? I wear cologne to maintain my gentlemanly style. Don't keep saying I'm not a man; I'm more of a man than you!" Guo Zhengkai stood unhappily by the bathroom door. Having already finished washing up, he had regained his usual gentlemanly demeanor. Even a simple casual outfit looked stylish on him, making him several times more handsome than the mannequins in the shop window. "

With your height (if you weren't a star), plus your handsome face, you'd be better than even the Four Heavenly Kings. These days, young girls are all about your type," Lei Gang said jealously, glancing at Guo Zhengkai before heading to the bathroom to continue his grooming.

Guo Zhengkai leaned against the door, watching the equally tall figure for a while before slowly walking away from the bathroom. "If I really became a star, you probably wouldn't even dare come here. If I really became a star, you'd probably be the first one to kill me. Your biggest fear is losing me as a friend, isn't it?" As

Lei Gang stepped into the living room, he heard the latest stereo playing a song he'd heard several times before. He never listened to pop music and had no idea what it was, nor could he understand the lyrics. He'd asked Guo Zhengkai several times, but Guo wouldn't answer, wouldn't even show him the lyrics, only saying he wouldn't understand the meaning of the song and it would be a waste of his time. However, he'd seen Ye Yi and Zhengkai humming this tune several times, so it seemed to be a favorite of both of them!

Only after the song finished playing did Guo Zhengkai stand up from his slumped position on the sofa. "Hurry up, Ye Yi should be at the supermarket by now."

"I said, what's the name of this song? It sounds a bit sad!"

"Maybe one day you'll know what it is, but not now. If you're so capable, go look it up!" Guo Zhengkai ignored Lei Gang, grabbed his car keys, and opened the door. "Hurry up, I'm not waiting for you!" "If

you don't tell me, do you think I really can't look it up?" [Provoked by Guo Zhengkai, Lei Gang's fighting spirit was ignited. He was determined to find out what song it was! Humph! Zhengkai, don't underestimate an enraged policeman, especially me!]

[Hi! Long time no see, Zhengkai, Lei Gang.] Xia Yeyi stood at the supermarket entrance waving to the two in the car, a serene smile on her face.

[Yeyi, you bought so much stuff? I doubt the three of us can finish it all.] Lei Gang got out of the car to help Xia Yeyi load the items onto the truck. Counting them, there were seven bags, all filled with food. She really wanted to raise pigs!

[Some of the food is to fill Zhengkai's refrigerator. If I don't buy anything, he'll probably be eating instant noodles every day.] Xia Yeyi knew all too well how lazy Guo Zhengkai, who was driving, was. If she didn't cook for him for a day, he'd eat instant noodles every day—a completely unhealthy fast food.

"Yeah! I went to his house yesterday, and he only gave me two bowls of instant noodles for dinner! Isn't he abusing his guest?" Lei Gang complained to Xia Yeyi.

"Alright, if you want to gossip, do it when the person involved isn't here. Lei Gang, help Yeyi move her things inside." Guo Zhengkai parked the car, ordering Lei Gang around while pulling Xia Yeyi aside for a private conversation.

"Why haven't you come to my place these past few days? Is something wrong? You don't look well." "

Nothing, I ran into Hongjie a few days ago..." "

Where did you meet him? Did he say anything to you?" Guo Zhengkai pressed on, surprised. The couple, separated for three years, had bumped into each other again. Was Xia Yeyi alright?

"No, he shouldn't have seen me. He brought a very beautiful woman to my teahouse. I was busy buying goods at the time and only caught a glimpse of him in a fleeting moment. He probably didn't notice me. He looked very well; his life must be very fulfilling!" Xia Yeyi lowered her head, suppressing the bitterness that was about to well up in her heart. Since she had chosen to give up and let him be, she shouldn't feel sad now. It was her own choice, wasn't it?

"Of course he's fulfilling. He's the golden boy of the business world now, the most valuable man. He's never been sad about your departure; he's very happy. You shouldn't think about him anymore; forget him completely! Look at me, promise me you'll forget him!" Guo Zhengkai lifted Xia Yeyi's tearful face, hugging her tightly with heartache as she tried to hold back her sobs. Why do they all live such difficult lives?

After a while, Xia Yeyi finally managed to pull away from Guo Zhengkai's warm embrace, wiping away the tears welling in her eyes. "Don't worry, I'll try my best to forget him and find my happiness again. But what about you? What are you going to do with those feelings in your heart? Are you just going to ignore them and bury them deep inside, not letting him know?" "

We've talked about this many times. This current situation is best for everyone, and I don't want to disrupt the balance. Being friends is better than being lovers; at least we don't have to tear each other apart. Right? Okay, hurry up and cook something for me. I haven't even had breakfast; I'm waiting for this meal!"

Patting Xia Yeyi's shoulder, Guo Zhengkai turned and walked towards the door. Xia Yeyi quickly followed behind, and the two entered Guo Zhengkai's house, where he lived alone.

Looking at the two embracing outside the window, Lei Gang couldn't quite describe his feelings. To be honest, he always considered Xia Yeyi more of a friend than his friend's girlfriend. Three years had passed since Guo Zhengkai introduced Xia Yeyi to him. During those three years, although Guo Zhengkai always brought Xia Yeyi to various gatherings to announce he had a girlfriend, Lei still didn't think they were a couple.

The reason was that in those three years, he had never seen them do anything beyond what a couple would do, such as hugging or kissing. They had never engaged in such behavior. Moreover, he was always present at their gatherings and had never heard of them traveling together. There were no photos of the two of them together in Guo Zhengkai's home. Based on his police intuition, they shouldn't be a couple. Therefore, he treated Xia Yeyi as a regular friend without any discomfort.

But now it seemed that the two of them were probably really a couple!

Seeing their affectionate embrace outside, the loving expression on Guo Zhengkai's face so obvious—he had never seen Zhengkai with that expression before—did this mean that Xia Yeyi was special to him? Was Xia Yeyi truly his soulmate? Only now did Lei truly realize that his best friend since childhood had truly fallen in love with Xia Yeyi!

Pressing his aching chest, Lei Gang couldn't understand why his chest ached at seeing his best friend finally find love. What was causing his inner turmoil? Could it be because he couldn't freely hang out at Guo Zhengkai's house anymore?

[Hey, what are you standing here daydreaming about? Ye Yi's already in the kitchen cooking. Hurry up and tidy up the living room; we'll have a feast soon.] Guo Zhengkai nudged the inexplicably wooden Lei Gang, almost knocking him to the ground.

[Are you trying to murder me?! There's a glass table in front of me! If I fall, even if I don't die, I'll need stitches at the hospital. I'm not handsome to begin with; with a few scars, people will definitely think I'm a gangster!]

[That's perfect for you to go undercover. No one will suspect you're a cop. Go and make a big contribution so you can get a promotion and a raise! It'll stop your mom from nagging you for not earning enough money but always risking your life!] [

How did you know my mom said that about me?] "

You said it yourself, every time you try to escape your mother's nagging, you run here to complain. After hearing it so many times, I can practically recite all her lectures." Guo Zhengkai tidied up the files he had scattered throughout the living room while wiping the dust off the furniture with a rag.

Lei Gang wasn't idle either, tidying up the messy furniture, stacking up the scattered newspapers, and putting the CDs he had left lying around back in the cabinet. With their combined efforts, the living room was soon spotless and tidy.

"You two are getting better and better at cleaning, saving me a lot of trouble. The food is ready, come and eat." Standing in front of the table, Xia Yeyi measured their work, praised them a few times, and then called them over to eat.

"Wow, Zhengkai, all your favorite dishes! You're really lucky today. Thanks to you, I can finally eat a decent meal and not have to suffer from those spoiled lunchboxes anymore."

Lei Gang, slurping and munching, quickly devoured a full bowl of rice, then ate about 80% of the dishes on the table, finally stopping after a cup of digestive tea brewed by Xia Yeyi. "

It's so delicious! So delicious! What a pity! Why didn't I meet you instead of Zheng Kai? It seems like all the good things in the world have been taken by Zheng Kai. Look at him, handsome, great physique, full wallet, and a good reputation in society. I'm not bragging, but my friend is really great; you won't regret choosing him. Alright, I won't linger here and cause any more trouble. I'm giving you two back your space; you two can enjoy your romance!" [

After speaking, Lei Gang quickly ran to the door. "I don't know how long this mission will take. I'll contact you again after it's over...bye-bye."]

Watching Lei Gang disappear like a whirlwind, Guo Zhengkai smiled helplessly. He only came to him when he wanted to eat. Had he spoiled him?

[He's still so cheerful, like a big kid, unchanged, without a single worry!] Xia Yeyi looked enviously in the direction Lei Gang disappeared. Was it true happiness to be like Lei Gang, oblivious to everything and unaware of anything? (

[Hey, Lei Gang, have you heard? The main culprit this time hired Guo Zhengkai to defend him. This is really terrible. We spent almost half a year to arrest him, and now all our hard work might be for nothing.] A colleague sitting at the desk next to Lei

Gang quietly told him some inside information. He was never stingy with sharing newly obtained information with his colleagues, especially since Lei Gang had contributed the most to this arrest operation. The boss had even said that once the criminals were sentenced, Lei Gang would be promoted to deputy captain. It seemed that Lei Gang's promotion was going to be a pipe dream this time. How tragic!

"Are you serious?" Lei Gang asked nervously. Didn't Zheng Kai never take criminal cases?

"Yes! It was the main culprit—An Hongjie—who said that he would only talk if his defense lawyer, Guo Zheng Kai, came. Now the captain and the director are waiting for the arrival of the famous lawyer Guo Zheng Kai. I heard that lawyer Guo is also handsome and a promising young man! I really don't understand why he would defend such a scumbag who deserves to die! Look at this information, forcing underage boys and girls into prostitution, injecting them with drugs and forcing them to carry drugs for him to sell, and even secretly selling guns with Japanese gangsters. He is truly inhuman to the extreme." I've heard that An Hongjie is gay and never lets any handsome young man go. He's slept with almost every man under his management, and some have even been driven to suicide by him! Yet, he's called a 'golden boy' in the business world, a genius manager who emerged after the financial crisis. His hypocritical face has fooled countless people, causing many to fall victim to his schemes. While there's currently no evidence to prove many of his crimes, at least putting him in jail for a few years to maintain peace in the outside world wouldn't be unreasonable. Unfortunately, he's rich and powerful, and he even hired Guo Zhengkai to defend him. I think his dream of putting him in prison is just wishful thinking.

"If he dares to defend this scumbag, he can forget about being my friend!" Lei Gang roared angrily after hearing this. He had spent half a year infiltrating An Hongjie's organization, finally obtaining evidence to arrest him for drug trafficking. Although other evidence was insufficient to simultaneously charge him with other crimes, this one alone was enough to convict him. Now Guo Zhengkai was actually trying to exonerate him! He was furious!

"You know Guo Zhengkai? Is it true? Lei Gang, you know Guo Zhengkai?" The captain, who had just entered the room, was overjoyed and surprised upon hearing Lei Gang's roar.

"Yes, we've been friends for over ten years, since high school. I never imagined he would become that scumbag's defense lawyer. Doesn't he know that I hate scoundrels the most? And he dares to help them get away with it!" "

Then go and persuade Guo Zhengkai not to take this case. If he doesn't, I believe we can definitely convict An Hongjie." "Now An Hongjie is relying on Guo Zhengkai, ignoring us completely and refusing to cooperate. We can't even get a statement from him. We're really having a headache. Why don't you go and persuade Guo Zhengkai? With your relationship, he should listen to you." The captain looked at Lei Gang expectantly.

"I know, I'll talk to Guo Zhengkai. If he still wants me as a friend, he shouldn't take this case. By the way, captain, I have to go now. I'll go find him now." Lei Gang kept his word and was about to rush out the door.

"Lei Gang, don't rush. Guo Zhengkai will come to help An Hongjie with his statement soon. You'll see him in a bit. You might not even be able to find him now." The more composed captain grabbed Lei Gang.

"Okay, I'll wait for him here... You have to tell me as soon as he arrives, captain!" "

I know. You haven't slept for days, so take a rest." The captain led Lei Gang to his office and told him to take a nap on the sofa inside.

[Where's Guo Zhengkai? Where did he go? Didn't he come to bail An Hongjie out?] Lei Gang yelled at the captain who woke him up. He had been told to wake him up so he could talk to Guo Zhengkai, but the captain had suddenly changed his mind.

[Lei Gang, I think even if you go and talk to Guo Zhengkai, he probably won't listen. An Hongjie seems to be a good friend of his. After Guo Zhengkai accompanied An Hongjie to give his statement, the two of them got into the same car and left. I stopped him to tell him I had something to say to him, but he asked me to tell you that he's determined to take this case, and he won't budge no matter who tries!]

[What did you say? He really said that? Okay, I'll go find him right now and talk to him face to face!] Lei Gang pushed aside the captain blocking his way, rushed into his second car, and sped towards Guo Zhengkai's small apartment...

He took out the key he'd carried for years and unlocked the door. Lei Gang saw only darkness; Guo Zhengkai wasn't there. He angrily dialed the law firm's number and Guo Zhengkai's number repeatedly, but to no avail! He couldn't find Guo Zhengkai! His partner said that after taking the case, he hadn't appeared again, only faxing back some documents, and the phone was always on voicemail, making direct communication impossible. "

I don't believe you won't come home!"

Lei Gang decided to wait there until Guo Zhengkai appeared. He opened the refrigerator, took out some instant food, heated it up, and ate while waiting by the door for Guo Zhengkai's return...

Until three in the morning, Lei Gang, half-asleep, finally heard the sound of a key opening the door. Guo Zhengkai was back!

Lei Gang immediately sat up from the sofa, watching Guo Zhengkai's tired figure slowly walk in through the doorway. He then casually turned on the light, took off his clothes, loosened his tie, grabbed a bottle of water from the kitchen, and carried his late-night snack back to the dining room. Just as he sat down at his designated spot to eat, he finally noticed Lei Gang staring at him!

"What are you doing here?" Upon noticing Lei Gang's presence, Guo Zhengkai, losing his appetite, put down his chopsticks and watched as the furious Lei Gang approached.

"I want you to drop the An Hongjie case! He deserved to die! Why are you helping that scumbag? Didn't you refuse to handle criminal cases?" "

An Hongjie is innocent, so I'm helping him with this case." "

He's innocent, but what about the dead? We clearly found drugs in his car, ten kilograms! How many people could he have killed? And he calls himself a business prodigy, a financial genius of the last decade! That's all bullshit! He profits from the dead, of course he's a genius!" "If we hadn't heard his name through the listening device, we wouldn't have suspected him at all. We thought he was a decent guy!" "

That's it! You've never seen him at any gang deals, you just heard his name through the listening device, found drugs in his car, and you confessed to him? No wonder you're all brainless! Can't you see this is a trap?" Guo Zhengkai looked at Lei Gang's flushed face in disbelief. How many years had it been since they'd argued? How long had it been since he'd seen Lei Gang like this?

"Who said it was a trap? Does a trap require ten kilograms of heroin? Who would go to such lengths to frame him? And who could easily put so many drugs in his car! We've been watching him ever since we overheard An Hongjie was involved, and no suspicious person has ever approached his car. We also saw him loitering around the drug deal location, then driving away suspiciously. Then we set up a roadblock and found so much harmful stuff in his car. Could this be a hoax?" "Don't do his bidding just because he's rich. Working for this kind of scum will ruin your reputation. You've worked so hard, without relying on your parents' power, building your career step by step. Are you going to ruin it all just like that? Give up. We only arrested him because we have solid evidence. Don't fight us head-on. Don't think you're so great at the case. Victory will be on the side of justice." Lei Gang pleaded, hoping Guo Zhengkai would change his mind.

"I know you mean well, but I've already taken this case, and I'll handle it well. Besides, I don't think you'll win. There will always be loopholes you can't see. I will win this case." Guo Zhengkai ignored Lei Gang's advice and continued with his late-night snack.

"What if I use our ten years of friendship to ask you not to take this case? What would you do?" In Lei Gang's memory, Guo Zhengkai had never refused his requests, even though they were sometimes difficult, he always helped him fulfill them.

"Are you threatening me?" "

Yes, I'm asking you to give up this defense." Lei Gang didn't shy away from Guo Zhengkai's shocked gaze. He was confident Guo Zhengkai would listen to him; their friendship was so deep, Guo Zhengkai wouldn't let it be destroyed so easily.

"If I refuse your request, then we can't even be friends anymore?" "

Yes, you know my personality, I mean what I say! Zhengkai, give up." Lei Gang looked at Guo Zhengkai expectantly.

"Looks like I've spoiled you too much..." Guo Zhengkai muttered, then looked up resolutely at Lei Gang: "I have my principles. I'm sorry, I won't give up this case. Let's see each other in court. I hope your police have prepared sufficient evidence to argue with me!"

"What did you say?"

"I'm tired. If you don't have anything else, you should rest early." Guo Zhengkai ignored Lei Gang, burying himself in his late-night snack, as if only the snack could attract his attention now.

[Fine...fine...you really want to disregard our friendship? From today onwards, I don't consider you my brother!]

Lei Gang slammed the keys he was carrying onto the table, kicked open the wooden door, and stormed out of Guo Zhengkai's house. The loud engine noise reached Guo Zhengkai's ears in the quiet night, indicating that Lei Gang had driven away from his house.

[He's still so impulsive. I really don't understand why he's never made a mistake in all this time as a policeman! Lei Gang, it seems you still don't understand me. I don't always do what you say; I have my own principles to follow!]

Looking at the kicked-open door, Guo Zhengkai smiled helplessly, slowly stood up, and gently closed the open door, as if closing the door to his heart forever.

It's time to cut off the unrealizable fantasies in his heart!

[I heard you've been busy with Hongjie's case these past few days, and haven't even slept well. I've made some nourishing soup to cheer you up; eat it quickly!] Xia Yeyi handed the still-warm soup to Guo Zhengkai, while simultaneously putting away all the case files in front of him. [You should get a good night's sleep...]

[I know! But so far, I haven't been able to find stronger evidence to prove his innocence. Time is running out; I need to hurry.] Guo Zhengkai, wearily propping his head up, ate the food in front of him listlessly.

"I recently found a little boy; he might be useful to you," Xia Yeyi smiled slyly, a deep, previously unseen expression suddenly appearing on his ordinary face.

"You mean, he knows something?" "

He escaped from that gang. I rescued him while he was being chased. At first, I didn't know he was involved in this case, but after these past few days of effort, he finally lowered his guard and told me why a large quantity of drugs appeared in Hongjie's car. I asked a friend to help me find some materials, and they've been delivered... This is the inside story of that gang. If you make a deal with the police, I believe this case won't be difficult." Xia Yeyi spoke eloquently. "

Yeyi, I've noticed you seem like a different person; you're not at all like your usual carefree self." Guo Zhengkai realized he needed to re-evaluate Xia Yeyi. When had she become so capable, even managing to obtain information on the underworld? Although he had asked Yeyi for help many times before, he still hadn't expected her to be this powerful!

"The person you know is only the one after I turned twenty-five. Before twenty-five, I was fearless and dared to do anything, which is why I have so many friends and can help you now! If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't have shown you my true self." Xia Yeyi smiled as she placed the materials on the table, patting the disbelieving Guo Zhengkai.

"Does An Hongjie know what you look like?" "

No… He's never paid any attention to me. Even if I laid everything bare for him, he wouldn't care." At this point, Xia Yeyi's smile vanished.

"In the two years of your marriage, he's never tried to understand you?" "

We agreed from the beginning that we'd only be friends, but the longer we were friends, the less he valued me, as if my kindness to him was a given. It wasn't until his company had problems and he was hospitalized that I forced him to marry me by threatening to invest in the company. But it was a failed marriage! If there's anything I've ever regretted in my life, it's this painful marriage." Xia Yeyi recounted her past with a bitter smile. She knew Guo Zhengkai had always wanted to know why she divorced the shopping mall tycoon. Although he had handled the divorce proceedings, he still didn't know the full story.

"You loved him too deeply, just like me, unable to even extricate yourself. Even if you had the choice again, you would still do the same," Guo Zhengkai said understandingly.

"So, if there's anyone in this world who understands me best, besides my brother… it's you." Xia Yeyi smiled, a smile both sad and happy. Why couldn't she love someone who understood her so well? If she could fall in love with Guo Zhengkai, she wouldn't be so heartbroken right now.

[Your brother? I've never heard of you having a brother.] Guo Zhengkai looked at Xia Yeyi in surprise.

[He's in Japan. I'll introduce you to him if there's a chance… Let's not talk about that. Have you finished eating? After you finish, take a look at the materials. I'm meeting a friend later. He's very influential in the police force. I've asked him to arrange a meeting with some high-ranking police officials. You should also say a few words. I believe with your eloquence, our cooperation will definitely succeed!]

In the blink of an eye, Xia Yeyi had transformed back into a mysterious figure who seemed to have everything under control.

He was furious. That Guo Zhengkai was really heartless, no longer acknowledging him as a brother? It's been a month since he made those harsh words, and Guo Zhengkai hasn't even called. He only hears about his situation at the police station. He heard that he applied for new evidence to request the court to postpone the trial, that he's been running around every day searching for new witnesses and evidence, busier than the police, and that he's lost so much weight that he's completely lost his former charm...

He really doesn't understand, does that An Hongjie really have such great charm that he would go to such lengths to defend him? That he would disregard their ten-year friendship and turn against him just to protect him?

He's furious that an outsider could withstand the depth of their friendship. Guo Zhengkai used to listen to him in everything and never went against his wishes, but now he's ignoring him for an outsider. Even though he didn't like D-jia before, he would still help him out, never leaving him alone; back in school, he would stay up all night helping him with exams so he could pass easily; he introduced him to his first girlfriend; when he was dumped by his girlfriend in the cold wind and rain, Guo Zhengkai got out of his warm bed to take him home; every time he was heartbroken, Guo Zhengkai would carefully comfort him. Isn't all of this enough to show how deep their friendship is?

Why? Why? Now, when everyone is at odds, would he disregard this friendship and insist on defending that scumbag? He knows he'll hate him? Why?

[Gang, what are you doing? You've been staying home all day, spacing out? Didn't you always go to Zhengkai's place whenever you had a break? Didn't you say it was free there, with good food, and you loved it? Why aren't you going now?] Lei's mother entered her son's room and frowned upon seeing the piles of trash. "If you were as clean and tidy as Zheng Kai, you would have found a girlfriend long ago. Zheng Kai and his lover have been dating for over three years. Why do you keep changing girlfriends? Zheng Kai looks like a womanizer, so why is it you, this good-for-nothing jerk, who's the real womanizer?" "

Mom, I'm so annoyed! Stop nagging me!" Lei Gang lay on the bed, painfully turning over, his back to his mother sitting in his room.

"Did you and Zheng Kai have a fight? When you two were in school, you were always like this when you argued. You always waited for Zheng Kai to apologize before you'd be back to normal. Zheng Kai finally couldn't stand your stubbornness anymore, and he's ignoring you?" "

Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? When have I ever been stubborn? People at the station even praised me for being very sensible!"

"You still say you're not stubborn?" "Think about it, all these years of your relationship with Zheng Kai. Even though I haven't seen much of it, from what you've said, Zheng Kai is practically a saint for putting up with you. Even I, your mother, can't tolerate your unreasonable demands!" Lei's mother couldn't help but say a few words to Lei Gang.

"What? Tell me, when have I ever been willful?" Lei Gang retorted defiantly.

[You have a strong sense of justice by nature, and you always have to intervene when you see injustice, without considering how old you are. It was because of this personality of yours that we kept moving to avoid offending people. When you were in junior high, you were always getting into fights, coming home every day covered in bruises, and getting complaints from teachers, eventually having to transfer schools. But since you met Zheng Kai, not only have you been getting into fewer fights, but the school hasn't complained about you either. That's because Zheng Kai assured the school that your grades would be within the top 50, and he would also prevent you from causing trouble. If you really did make a mistake, he would drop out with you! That's why the principal didn't expel you and even tolerated your misbehavior. You don't know how to be grateful and shamelessly use Zheng Kai as a get-out-of-jail-free card to flaunt your misbehavior. If Zheng Kai wasn't always with you, you would have been ambushed and ganged up on long ago.]

[Mom, how do you know all this?] Lei Gang looked at his usually naive mother in shock.

"Of course, I heard it from your school tutor and people in the neighborhood. I even overheard a thug say, 'That bastard Lei Gang always ruins people's plans. If it weren't for Guo Zhengkai protecting you, I would have already sent you to the hospital with my men. Even your own mother wouldn't recognize you, humph!'" Lei's mother repeated what she heard to Lei Gang in a sarcastic tone.

"Which thug dared to mess with my ideas? I'll lock him up and take him to the police station!" Lei Gang said arrogantly.

"Lock your head up? That's from the Xianfeng era. I'm telling you this to tell you that you were able to finish high school and get into a prestigious university thanks to Zhengkai. You don't even know how to thank him, and you're always picking on Zhengkai." "

What's the big deal? He only helps me like that because we're brothers." Lei Gang said dismissively, his self-righteousness making Lei's mother so angry that she punched him repeatedly, making him scream.

"And another thing, it's a good thing you're getting girlfriends. I thought it would be hard for my son, who isn't handsome, to find one, but I never expected Zhengkai to be so loyal, constantly introducing you to girlfriends, and they're all beautiful ladies! But you, you don't like this one, that one's hard to get along with. You're not handsome, but you're incredibly picky. In the end, you were made a fool of, abandoned in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere. That day, the weather was really conspiratorial; a typhoon had just passed through, with strong winds and heavy rain, even your dad and I didn't dare go out. Luckily, Zhengkai was willing to drive up the mountain in such terrible weather to find you, and the next day was his important day for his bar exam. Tell me, hasn't he done enough for you as a friend? You heartless little rascal, you just hold a grudge against him, always making Zhengkai the one to make up. Tell me, what else is this but being willful?" Lei's mother got angrier and angrier as she spoke, wanting to punch Lei Gang a couple more times.

Lei Gang stood there stunned, letting his mother punch him twice. His mind was completely absorbed in what she had said. Thinking it over, it was true. He had never done anything for Guo Zhengkai in the past ten years, yet Guo Zhengkai had worked tirelessly for him time and time again. He was the one who lost his temper first, but it was Guo Zhengkai who ultimately took the initiative to salvage their friendship. These ten years of relationship had been entirely Guo Zhengkai's doing, his sole effort in maintaining it, and he had even used this relationship, for which he had contributed nothing, to threaten Guo Zhengkai into dropping the lawsuit. What

had he done?

Thinking this, Lei Gang immediately jumped out of bed. "Mom, I'm going to Zhengkai's and I'm not coming back..." "

That's right. You should talk to him properly and tell him not to argue anymore..." Lei's mother looked at her enlightened son with satisfaction. He was finally growing up.

Lei Gang, who was hurriedly starting the engine and about to drive to Guo Zhengkai's residence, was stopped by a series of phone rings. He initially didn't want to answer, but after a long struggle, he finally picked up the phone: "Hello, who's calling me? I'm busy right now!" "

Busy my foot! Lei Gang, I just received orders from higher up. There will be a large-scale raid tonight. The captain wants you to return to the team immediately."

"What? What kind of operation is it?" "

I don't know the specifics, but it's probably related to An Hongjie's case from a few days ago. It seems the higher-ups have obtained some top-secret intelligence; that's what I heard. Anyway, you need to return to headquarters immediately and await orders..." "

Understood, I'm coming back..." Lei Gang immediately turned the car around and headed towards the police station.

) "I really have to thank you this time for my acquittal. I don't know how to thank you enough!" "I never imagined that Attorney Guo, besides being undefeated in civil cases, would be so formidable in criminal cases as well."

An Hongjie stood in the courtroom where he had just been acquitted, thanking Guo Zhengkai. Dressed in a sharp suit, he showed no signs of distress, remaining as dashing as ever. Standing next to Guo Zhengkai, their charm was equally matched, attracting a flurry of camera flashes from reporters. It was rare to have such a photogenic protagonist!

"It's what I should do. If it weren't for Xia Yeyi, I wouldn't have taken your case. Thanks to Yeyi's strong support, I was able to win this lawsuit!" "

Xia Yeyi?" An Hongjie frowned in confusion. "You know Yeyi? Didn't she leave Taiwan a long time ago?" "

It seems you haven't cared about her at all. I'm the lawyer who handled your divorce proceedings. I don't think you'd remember me, would you?" Guo Zhengkai looked at An Hongjie's shrug, indicating he didn't recall her, with a chill. He couldn't believe Xia Yeyi had left no trace in his mind!

"Is she in Taiwan now?" An Hongjie vaguely recalled a young woman who had once said to him, "Let's be friends, that way neither of us will have to worry about dealing with our parents' efforts to match us up!"

[She's my girlfriend. Mr. An, if possible, I'd like to invite you to my wedding with Ye Yi.] Guo Zhengkai, unable to contain his anger, made a harsh statement to provoke An Hongjie.

[Sure! Let's have a meal together sometime!] An Hongjie smiled indifferently, his dazzling, boyish smile only fueling Guo Zhengkai's already uncontrollable anger, his fingers itching to punch the man in front of him.

[No need. I believe Ye Yi wouldn't want to see you again. That was just polite talk, Mr. An, you don't need to take it seriously!] Guo Zhengkai had no patience to waste with An Hongjie, picked up his briefcase, and turned to leave…

[Please tell Ye Yi that both you and she will always be my friends. If you ever have any difficulties, feel free to come to me, I will definitely help.] "!" An Hongjie shouted from behind, prompting the reporters to scramble to take notes. It seemed there was some romantic entanglement between this lawyer Guo and An Hongjie—exactly the kind of gossip they needed right now!

Guo Zhengkai didn't respond, hurrying to the parking lot where he saw Xia Yeyi smiling at him from beside his sports car.

"Congratulations, you've won another case..." "

Let's go back, lest you run into An Hongjie later." Guo Zhengkai immediately pushed Xia Yeyi into the car. "

So what if we run into each other? He won't remember me, don't worry. I've already seen his heartlessness. This whole mess was caused by his heartlessness, wasn't it? He actually dared to chase after the infamous 'Black Widow' of the underworld, he's really courting death. And he dumped her so easily, no wonder that woman spared no expense to bring him down..." Xia Yeyi smiled bitterly. At least she hadn't been dumped by An Hongjie; she was the one who rejected him first! This at least preserved her dignity!

"Yeyi, let's go to England!" "I'm planning to study there, how about you go there to relax too? You've lost your former peace, all you have is sadness! It makes me so sad, you know?" "

I'll think about it. Have you told Lei Gang about this? I haven't seen him these past few days, haven't you been in contact?" Xia Yeyi didn't want to continue talking about this, so she changed the subject, bringing up her current biggest concern.

"He and I had a huge fight, and he's still sulking. I'll tell him when I leave; he won't react much, he'll just wish me good luck!" Guo Zhengkai forced a joke; he was utterly exhausted these past few days, even lacking the energy to drive. Luckily, Xia Yeyi came to pick him up.

"Go back and rest. I'll cook you something delicious to eat..." Xia Yeyi looked at Guo Zhengkai with pity, then pressed down hard on the accelerator, propelling the car forward at high speed.

Opening the door, Xia Yeyi forcefully pulled the half-asleep Guo Zhengkai inside, but once inside, Guo Zhengkai collapsed onto the sofa, refusing to get up.

"Zhengkai, you'll be sore all over when you wake up like this. Get up, we're almost at bedtime." Xia Yeyi gently coaxed Guo Zhengkai.

"I don't want to, I want to sleep, don't pay attention to me... don't bother me..." Guo Zhengkai murmured in his sleep, dreaming of playing chess with the Duke of Zhou!

"Yeyi, let me carry him into the room." The sudden voice made Xia Yeyi smile with relief; Lei Gang had arrived after all.

"Lei Gang, you've come at the right time. I can't do anything with Zhengkai. Please carry him into the room gently." "I need to go back to the shop. There's some cooked food in the fridge. You and him can make do with this for now. I'll cook you a big meal tomorrow." "

Alright, you should go now. I can handle him by myself..." Lei Gang urged Xia Yeyi to hurry up. For some reason, Xia Yeyi's attitude of treating Guo Zhengkai like her possession was very irritating to him.

"Then I'm leaving..." "

Go quickly..." Lei Gang ignored Xia Yeyi. He lifted Guo Zhengkai's sleeping body with his large hand, then carried Guo Zhengkai's slender body on his shoulder and strode towards the bedroom.

"Honestly, you don't care about your health at all. No wonder people say you're getting thinner and thinner, almost deformed." Muttering to himself, Lei Gang gently placed Guo Zhengkai on the waterbed.

"Seeing you sleeping so soundly, even I'm getting sleepy." "Never mind, you're sleeping so soundly anyway, I can only talk to you after you wake up. I'll take a nap too..."

Lei Gang lifted the thick blanket covering Guo Zhengkai, quickly stripped naked, and then swiftly crawled into the blanket warmed by Guo Zhengkai's body heat. "This is so comfortable... I'll buy a waterbed when I have money, but it seems like I don't have room for it at home..." While

lost in thought, Lei Gang reached out and hugged the increasingly thin Guo Zhengkai as if to confirm his presence, his large hand constantly stroking the outline of the lean body: "I really don't understand, this guy is already so tired, how come he still has such a good figure, no different from those of us who exercise regularly?" As he

stroked him, Lei Gang finally succumbed to sleepiness, embracing Guo Zhengkai and drifting into a deep slumber. He slept soundly, lost in a dream, a happy smile still on his face… (

Just as his sweet dream began, Guo Zhengkai felt as if he were being squeezed, almost suffocating. He struggled to see what it was, and upon opening his eyes, he saw the face from his dream so close, magnified several times over, that Guo almost thought he was still dreaming.

[Lei Gang…] Guo Zhengkai reached out to see if it was a hallucination. Hadn't he broken off all ties with him? In the past, if he hadn't gone to see him first, Lei Gang would have stubbornly refused to come. Why was he different this time? He was planning to go to Lei Gang's house after waking up!

[Hmm…] Sensing that the thing in his arms seemed about to leave, Lei Gang tightened his embrace. Guo Zhengkai then realized he was sleeping in Lei Gang's arms. What was going on? Guo Zhengkai really couldn't understand what had happened. He only remembered that Ye Yi had finally managed to pull him into the house, and then he had fallen into a deep sleep!

[Lei Gang... wake up...] Guo Zhengkai struggled to break free from Lei Gang's embrace. He wasn't confident in his self-control; if this continued, he didn't know what he might do. "

Don't make a fuss... Mom, let me sleep peacefully..." Lei Gang mistook the person in his arms for his mother, who always urged him to get up, mumbled a few words, and then pulled the covers over his head and went back to sleep.

[...Mom...] Guo Zhengkai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. [Lei Gang, you idiot, get up! You're keeping me from getting up!] Guo Zhengkai pushed Lei Gang hard, somewhat surprised that after not having competed with Lei Gang for so many years, he had suddenly become much stronger than him. Was it because he hadn't exercised lately?

[You're so annoying!] Lei Gang impatiently pulled Guo Zhengkai's head down and forcefully kissed the source of the sound, kissing him passionately.

[…Mmm…] Guo Zhengkai was completely caught off guard by Lei Gang's unexpected action, and could only watch helplessly as Lei Gang kissed him—a passionate French kiss!

His initial struggle had somehow transformed into complete cooperation. Guo Zhengkai was no longer passively letting Lei Gang kiss him; just as Lei Gang was about to pull away, he proactively embraced Lei Gang's head and continued the passionate kiss.

Guo Zhengkai's kissing skills were far superior to Lei Gang's. Having longed for this moment for so long, he poured all his emotions into the kiss, fiercely swirling it within Lei Gang's warm mouth. His nimble tongue entwined with Lei Gang's retreating tongue, teasing and sucking it in greedily, as if trying to swallow Lei Gang whole… Desire is particularly ignited upon waking in the morning, and this burning passion, almost capable of consuming the entire room, made Guo Zhengkai realize he had to release Lei Gang immediately. He could no longer control himself; he had to let go! But…

after issuing countless 'you must let go' commands to his mind, Guo Zhengkai reluctantly released Lei Gang, only when both were utterly oxygen-deprived. Lei Gang, already weakly clinging to Guo Zhengkai, gasped for breath, his face flushed from lack of oxygen, turning a deep crimson when he met Guo Zhengkai's lustful eyes, a blush that lingered for a long time…

[What…what are you doing?] When Lei Gang was awakened by a passionate kiss, he thought he was still dreaming, but the feeling of oxygen deprivation told him he was in reality. He had been kissed by Guo Zhengkai—it was a fact!

"You started it..." His voice was hoarse, almost inaudible. After desperately suppressing his overwhelming lust, Guo Zhengkai rushed into the bathroom. The sound of running water after locking the door prevented Lei Gang from understanding what Guo Zhengkai was thinking. But... he stuck out his tongue and circled it around his lips, savoring the lingering taste. The feeling, still vivid in his memory, brought a smile to his face. It really did seem like a dream...

(Long's Series Side Story Chapter 10

) "Zhengkai, can you tell me what 'kissing' is like?" Wearing the bright uniform of a prestigious high school but still lacking any semblance of refinement, Lei Gang pulled hard on his hair, asking in agony.

"What's wrong? Your girlfriend thinks your kissing isn't good enough?" Guo Zhengkai, who immediately saw through Lei Gang's dilemma, was lying on the rooftop of the teaching building, with two empty lunchboxes next to him. It seemed the two of them had come up to the rooftop to eat lunch during their lunch break.

"Yeah! She actually told me to practice my kissing before I go find other girls, she wants to break up with me. Is it really necessary to break up over just a kiss?"

"She's been wanting to dump you for a while, and since your kissing skills don't satisfy her, of course she's using this as an excuse!" Guo Zhengkai, who was well-versed in women's thinking, offered Lei Gang a half-hearted consolation. Anyway, this wasn't the first time he'd been dumped, but it was still surprising that it had progressed to kissing!

"So what makes a good kiss? What kind of kiss do women like?" Lei Gang retorted defiantly. As a man, what did it mean that his kissing skills couldn't satisfy a woman?

"How did you kiss her?" Seeing Lei Gang's anger, Guo Zhengkai finally straightened up a bit and looked at Lei Gang seriously.

[Is a kiss just about lips touching and rubbing together?]

"What? You call that kissing? That's just a little kid's kiss. If I were a woman, I wouldn't even give you a second glance!" Guo Zhengkai laughed uncontrollably. Good heavens! They're almost seniors in high school, and Lei Gang still doesn't know how to kiss.

He's a rare gem! "Isn't that how it is in movies? Why don't you do it and show me what an adult kiss is like!" Lei Gang, seeing Guo Zhengkai laughing so unrestrainedly, became angry and shouted at him.

"Are you serious? You really want to do it?" The laughter stopped, and Guo Zhengkai looked at Lei Gang seriously, as if he had said something incredible.

"Of course..."

"Then come to my house tonight. I have some good stuff!" Guo Zhengkai smiled mysteriously, his cunning expression suggesting he was planning something!

"Good stuff?" For high school boys, "good stuff" meant uncensored, real-life pornographic DVDs, which made Lei Gang, who had always lacked knowledge in this area, blush.

"Are you coming? I guarantee no woman will ever want you again after you see this!" Guo Zhengkai offered the bait.

"Really?" Lei Gang was tempted.

"Of course! The stuff I get is better than anyone else's! Everyone's scrambling to get their hands on it! I'm only letting you see it for brotherhood." Guo Zhengkai laughed. "Call home after school and say you're coming to my place tonight, okay?" "

Okay..." Lei Gang couldn't help but look forward to tonight.

...

Watching the video on the screen that made his heart race and his body heat up, Lei Gang didn't blink, afraid of missing a single move. His body was constantly changing. He shifted uncomfortably, trying to suppress his rising desire, but the scene was just too stimulating, making him reach down and masturbate.

"This movie was pretty good, wasn't it..." Guo Zhengkai's slightly raised voice rang in his ears. He smiled as he watched Lei Gang's barely concealed erection and his awkwardly hesitant hand, a strange excitement in his eyes.

"See, you can't hold back anymore, so don't worry about me, just let loose..."

What had he just done? Only now did Lei Gang have the energy to recall what had just happened. He buried his face in warm water in shame. He had actually kissed his best friend and even experienced an unprecedented orgasm in his hands! He was utterly obscene! He rarely even masturbated, since he spent most of his energy on pornography, so he always thought he wouldn't care much about sex. But he never imagined that watching just one Category III film would turn him into such a lecherous monster!

After soaking in the water for a long time, Lei Gang still felt too ashamed to face his best friend. Finally, unable to bear the now-cold water any longer, he timidly stood up, put on his bathrobe, and listened intently by the door for a while. When there was still no sound, he tiptoed out of the bathroom and went to Guo Zhengkai's bedroom, which was connected to the bathroom.

"Jessica? I'll be there in a bit..." Guo Zhengkai's voice faintly came from inside, causing Lei Gang, who was about to open the door, to stop in his tracks.

"Of course I missed you! You don't have to work tomorrow, how about you spend the day with me? I've thought of a great program to share with you... Overtime? You're joking, you're an elite in the secretarial department, why would you do something so lame? Okay, spend the day with me, aren't you afraid I'll cheat on you?" Guo Zhengkai burst into laughter, as if the other had said something. "

Okay, okay... I know it was wrong of me to stand you up on your birthday last time, but you have to remember I'm a student taking a test! No wonder you want a boyfriend who's failed a year?" "I went to this prestigious university all for you! If you introduced me to others as a student from a top school, you'd be so proud, wouldn't you?"

Lei Gang hadn't expected Guo Zhengkai to value his current girlfriend so much. Didn't he always say, "Women are like clothes, friends are like limbs"? Wasn't he always aloof with his girlfriends?

"Okay, wait for me for half an hour, I'll be there on time!" Guo Zhengkai hung up the phone and opened the door to find Lei Gang standing there, looking flustered. "

Lei Gang, I need to go to my girlfriend's place. You can stay at my place for the night. I've already asked the maid to prepare your clothes for tomorrow. You can go to school from here tomorrow. I won't be coming back!"

"Do you have something important to do? You're the one who invited me to your house!" Lei Gang stared at Guo Zhengkai's face unhappily, momentarily forgetting his earlier embarrassment and shame!

"Well... anyway, I have something to do. You can stay here for now, I'll come find you the day after tomorrow!" Guo Zhengkai seemed to have some unspeakable secret he couldn't tell Lei Gang. After stammering for a while, he ultimately didn't tell Lei Gang what it was about!

"No way! Are you even a brother? You said you'd stay with me today, are you going to go back on your word?" Lei Gang's stubbornness flared up, and he forcefully grabbed Guo Zhengkai, preventing him from leaving.

"You...you really are slow on the uptake!" The two stood there for a while, finally Guo Zhengkai sighed, dragged Lei Gang inside, and at the same time, turned on his phone to tell the woman he'd just been there that he couldn't go.

Knowing he had won, Lei Gang laughed heartily. The simple-minded man had already forgotten what had happened before. He patted the empty seat next to him. "Zhengkai, get some beer. We haven't had a drink in ages..."

Guo Zhengkai opened the small refrigerator in the bedroom, took out a few cans of beer, and tossed them to Lei Gang. He sighed inwardly; it seemed he wouldn't be getting a good night's sleep tonight...

(Long's Series Side Story Chapter 11
, 1304 words, Updated: 09-02-22 11:46)
Actually, thinking back now, he was really unreasonable back then... Lei Gang shook his head, a smile involuntarily spreading across his face. He was so immature!

"What are you laughing at? Why are you laughing so slyly?" Guo Zhengkai came out and saw Lei Gang lying on the bed, grinning foolishly. His silly appearance was both funny and infuriating! Why was he always so foolish! He never thought about anything in front of him, but wasn't it precisely this foolish, honest, and heartbreakingly kind of personality that he had fallen for?

[It's nothing, I didn't expect you to be so energetic so early in the morning, you don't look exhausted at all!] Lei Gang was embarrassed to let Guo Zhengkai know that he was reminiscing about the past, so he deliberately laughed it off.

[It's you who's energetic, okay? Giving someone a French kiss first thing in the morning, I'm only getting aroused this early thanks to you.] Guo Zhengkai took out a large towel and vigorously dried his wet hair, speaking in a friendly tone, completely concealing all his inner excitement.

[Was it me? Hehe!] Lei Gang scratched his head, unable to remember what happened when he was still half asleep, but seeing Guo Zhengkai's serious expression, he could only laugh awkwardly and brush it off.

[Stop laughing, it's giving me goosebumps... You always just pretend to be stupid, you haven't improved at all, I really don't understand how you deal with those criminals!]

Hearing Guo Zhengkai's concern for him in his words, Lei Gang smiled warmly: [Zhengkai, you're so good, we had a fight, and you're still worried about me!]

[Yeah!] "Do you remember we were arguing? Didn't you used to be like a king, requiring me to appease you endlessly before we made up? Why are you suddenly here today?"

[Zhengkai…] Lei Gang abruptly turned Guo Zhengkai, who was facing away, around, his tone suddenly serious.

[What is it?] Guo Zhengkai, who had never seen Lei Gang so serious before, was startled and sat up straight.

[I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!] Lei Gang sincerely apologized to Guo Zhengkai, leaving Guo Zhengkai speechless with shock. When did Lei Gang change his ways?

[I…I…In short, I'm sorry!] Lei Gang opened his mouth but couldn't think of anything to say, finally only clumsily repeating "I'm sorry."

Guo Zhengkai looked at Lei Gang's embarrassed expression and a slight smile appeared on his lips: [If you're really that embarrassed, you don't have to apologize. I understand your position, so I've never blamed you.]

"No, it's not like that. I... I know I was wrong. You've always been the one accommodating me, and I've repeatedly ignored your feelings. Last time, I even threatened you with a friendship I'd never really tried to maintain! I'm such a jerk! Zheng Kai, please forgive me this time!" "

Forget it, it's already amazing how much you've thought of. How can I ask for more? I forgive you, that's enough. You don't need to look at me like that. I still want to eat!" Guo Zheng Kai teased Lei Gang, unsure whether to be happy about his repentance or annoyed by his slowness.

"Really?" Lei Gang couldn't help but thank Guo Zheng Kai for his magnanimity; he truly was his best friend for life.

"Yes, so we should go find something to eat now. Ye Yi hasn't been able to come over these past few days, let's go see her! You haven't seen her in a long time either." Guo Zheng Kai put on his clothes, picked up his keys, and was about to take Lei Gang out.

Why did Zheng Kai bring up Ye Yi so easily these days? Lei Gang frowned unhappily: "[It's been so long since the two of us got together. It's rare that we've reconciled. Let's go out and relive our old days together!]"

Looking at Lei Gang strangely, Guo Zhengkai, though somewhat taken aback, nodded: "[Okay, just the two of us today, let's go have a good drink!]"

"Hmm…" Lei Gang jumped up happily, feeling an indescribable excitement that Guo Zhengkai had sacrificed Nightwing for him.

Actually, thinking back now, he was really unreasonable back then… Lei Gang shook his head, a smile involuntarily spreading across his face. He was so immature!

[What are you laughing at? Why are you laughing so slyly?] Guo Zhengkai came out and saw Lei Gang lying on the bed, grinning foolishly. His silly appearance was both funny and infuriating! Why was he always so silly! He didn't dwell on the present situation at all, but wasn't what he loved about him precisely his silly, honest, and endearingly naive personality?

[Nothing, I didn't expect you to be so energetic so early in the morning, you don't look exhausted at all!] Lei Gang was embarrassed to let Guo Zhengkai know he was reminiscing about the past, so he deliberately laughed it off.

[It's you who's energetic, okay? Giving someone a French kiss first thing in the morning, I'm only getting aroused this early thanks to you.] Guo Zhengkai took out a large towel and vigorously dried his wet hair, speaking in a friendly tone, completely concealing all his inner excitement.

[Was it me? Hehe!] Lei Gang scratched his head, unable to recall what happened before he woke up, but seeing Guo Zhengkai's serious expression, he could only laugh awkwardly and brush it off.

[Stop laughing, it's giving me goosebumps... You always just pretend to be stupid, you haven't improved at all, I really don't understand how you deal with those criminals!]

Hearing the concern in Guo Zhengkai's words, Lei Gang smiled warmly: "Zhengkai, you're so kind. We had a fight, and you still worried about me!" " Yeah

! You remember we were arguing? Didn't you used to be like a king, requiring me to appease you endlessly before we made up? Why are you suddenly here today?" "

Zhengkai…" Lei Gang suddenly turned Guo Zhengkai, who was facing away, around, his tone becoming serious.

"What is it?" Guo Zhengkai, who had never seen Lei Gang so serious before, was startled and sat up straight.

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" Lei Gang sincerely apologized to Guo Zhengkai, leaving Guo Zhengkai speechless with shock. When did Lei Gang change his ways?

"I…I…In short, I'm sorry!" Lei Gang opened his mouth but couldn't think of anything to say, finally only clumsily repeating "I'm sorry."

Guo Zhengkai looked at Lei Gang's embarrassed expression and a slight smile appeared on his lips: "If you're really that embarrassed, you don't need to apologize. I understand your position, so I've never blamed you." "

It's not like that. I... I know I was wrong now. From the beginning, you've always been accommodating me, while I've repeatedly ignored your feelings. Last time, I even threatened you with a friendship I'd never really tried to maintain! I'm such a jerk! Zhengkai, you're so magnanimous, please forgive me this time!" "

Forget it, it's already quite impressive that you've thought of so much. How can I ask for more? I forgive you, that's enough. You don't need to look at me like a sinner. I still want to eat!" Guo Zhengkai teased Lei Gang, unsure whether to be happy about his reflection or annoyed by his slowness.

"Really?" Lei Gang couldn't help but thank Guo Zhengkai for his magnanimity; he truly was his best friend for life. "

Yes, so we should go find something to eat now. Ye Yi hasn't been able to come over these past few days, let's go find her! You haven't seen her in a long time either." Guo Zhengkai put on his clothes, picked up his keys, and was about to take Lei Gang out.

Why did Zhengkai bring up Ye Yi in less than three sentences now? Lei Gang frowned unhappily: "It's been so long since the two of us got together. It's rare that we've made up, so let's go out and relive our old days!"

Looking at Lei Gang strangely, Guo Zhengkai nodded, somewhat taken aback: "Okay, just the two of us today, let's go have a good drink!"

"Hmm..." Lei Gang jumped up happily, feeling an indescribable excitement that Guo Zhengkai had given up Ye Yi for him.

"Alright! He's your treasure! But I also got a good divination, do you want to hear it?" Long Wei blinked, full of anticipation.

"If I don't want to hear it, won't you be bored to death? For your own good, I'll listen attentively!" Guo Zhengkai seemed to be listening reluctantly, as if he had no interest whatsoever, which made Long Wei's face turn green.

"Hey buddy, can't you put aside your lawyer's sharp tongue? It wouldn't be too hard to lower your stance sometimes, would it?" Long Wei looked heartbroken.

"Long Wei, I don't think I've ever seen you serious. Are you always laughing and joking around trying to escape something?" Guo Zhengkai hit the nail on the head, and Long Wei's face broke down, a rare sight.

"Never mind what I'm escaping from. Think about what you're escaping from! Divination is just a prediction; if you believe, it's accurate, if you don't, it's inaccurate. I'm not going to tell you anything. I hope your fate matches the divination. It's rare to see you all today, and you're leaving later. How about I show off my singing today?" Long Wei instantly regained his mischievous expression. Seeing his teasing look, Guo Zhengkai knew he was really not going to sing anything good!

"No need, we're leaving..." "

Who's leaving? I think I just heard someone say they were going to show off their singing?" Lei Gang suddenly jumped out from behind Guo Zhengkai, startling the two of them.

"It's me, the humble prince of love songs, a bachelor!"

Guo Zhengkai and Lei Gang made a vomiting gesture, showing no respect. "Can you even sing? To be honest, we've never heard you sing before..."

Seeing Guo Zhengkai's scathing remarks, Long Wei was determined to teach him a lesson today.

"Okay, I'll go on stage and sing now. Lei Gang, keep an eye on him, no one can leave!" "

Understood! Go on stage and sing with peace of mind, we'll enjoy your performance from the stage!" Lei Gang smiled and waved his hand, casually keeping Guo Zhengkai close to him to prevent him from escaping.

"Um, Lei Gang, could you sit a little further away from me? What's the point of two grown men squeezing into one private room?" Guo Zhengkai shifted uncomfortably, trying his best to avoid any close contact with Lei Gang. He was joking; the fire ignited by their earlier kiss still had lingering warmth, and he didn't want it to reignite here!

"I won't let you! Anyway, we're good friends, what's wrong with being a little closer?"

Just as they were about to argue again, a melodious tune began to play. Lung Wai, who had somehow appeared on stage, was holding a microphone and smiling at them: "Today I want to dedicate a song to two of my friends. Since it's a Hong Kong song, you might not understand it. That's okay, just come and support me!" A cheer erupted from the

audience. The boss was performing himself! How could they not be excited…

[Please don't linger in my gaze like this. You'll realize how unbearably lonely I am.

Even though I've kissed you in my dreams for countless nights, it didn't actually happen.

The sounds of people and cars began to fade and disappear, a silent struggle. There were feelings,

but how much I missed him. Yet, I could only sigh endlessly.

Actually, every time I saw you, I was captivated.

Unfortunately, we each had our own roles and boundaries.

Even in lonely dreams, we went beyond friendship.

I only secretly love you, secretly infatuated.

It's pointless to cause you any problems.

Say goodbye to me, don't let emptiness make me stray.

(Say goodbye to me, let emptiness destroy me.)]

, the last verse was sung repeatedly, the captivating voice and heartfelt interpretation enchanting every listener, except for Guo Zhengkai, who could completely understand what Long Wei was singing.

Was this song mocking him? What was this? If he couldn't tolerate it, Lei Gang would have already left his side and could never get close to him again. What did Long Wei know!

[Zhengkai, you sang this song so well! Do you know what song it is?] Lei Gang noticed that the pronunciation of this song was very similar to a song Guo Zhengkai often listened to. It seemed that song was also a Hong Kong song.

[I don't know...]

Hearing the nasal humming, Lei Gang turned his head and saw that Guo Zhengkai's face was quite dark. What happened? Wasn't he just happy?

Long Wei jumped down happily, [Did you sing out your true feelings?]

Guo Zhengkai laughed angrily: [You're really amazing, you actually found such a song, but you still guessed one thing wrong...] He beckoned with his finger, Guo Zhengkai looked mysterious.

[Oh?] Long Wei curiously leaned closer so Guo Zhengkai could whisper in his ear, "No need for dreams, I'm kissing him today!"

Guo Zhengkai pulled away after speaking, leaving Long Wei dumbfounded. Wasn't Guo Zhengkai supposed to just be a good friend? How could he kiss Lei Gang?

Looking up at Lei Gang, whose expression remained unchanged, Long Wei wondered if he'd lost his bet and Guo Zhengkai was already planning to make a move on Lei Gang! Sigh, why did he bet so big against Ye Yi that Guo Zhengkai wouldn't make a move and would only silently wait? His travel expenses!

"We have to go. Lei Gang has to go back to the police station tomorrow. Today's expenses…"

Long Wei immediately looked up. He was joking, had he? He'd opened so many good drinks today, could it be…?

"Consider it a celebratory gift from you! Thanks…" Guo Zhengkai pulled Lei Gang along, not even glancing at the miserable-looking Long Wei. This was the result of his own actions. He dared to mess with a big lawyer? Did he think he didn't want money?

Sitting in the police station, Lei Gang was pondering Guo Zhengkai's strange behavior these past few days. He'd actually come to pick him up from work and take him out to dinner—not with Ye Yi, just the two of them. It was as if they were back to the days before Ye Yi appeared, laughing, drinking, and partying all night, then rolling around on the bed and sprawling out without a care in the world. This was completely different from the usually strict Guo Zhengkai; he was getting stranger and stranger…

While still deep in thought, Lei Gang was suddenly slapped on the back of the head, jumping up. "Who attacked me?"

Standing before him, smiling innocently, was Long Wei, the man they'd ripped off a few days ago. "Lei Gang, doing well, huh? A deputy team leader…"

"Heh, it's nothing special. By the way, what brings you here? Is something wrong? Did someone cause trouble at your bar? I'm going to lock him up right away…" "

You don't think everyone comes to the police station to report a crime, do you?" Seeing Lei Gang's direct reaction, Long Wei's smile widened.

"I'm here because Nightwing asked me to deliver a letter, Lei Gang. It's rare for me to be a delivery boy, where's the tip?"

Oh, it seems Long Wei is still hung up on that drinking session where he was ripped off.

"No, I'm a poor cop. If you want money, go find Zheng Kai, he's got plenty!" "

Seeing you can't find anything of value, Zheng Kai's going to England today, I have to see him off, gotta go..." "

What did you say? Who's going to England? I didn't know Zheng Kai was going on a trip to England, don't try to fool me!" Lei Gang refused to believe Guo Zheng Kai would go on a trip without telling him.

"Read the letter, read the letter… all the answers are in the letter… I'm leaving…" With a flourish, Long Wei escaped faster than a thief.

"Long Wei…" Unable to call him back, Lei Gang had no choice but to sit down and open the letter. Do people still write letters these days? How old-fashioned.

When the letter was opened, not only did the letter paper fall out, but also a cassette tape. Lei Gang, puzzled, found a player and decided to listen to the tape while reading the letter.

As the music from the tape started, Lei Gang realized it was the song Guo Zhengkai often listened to, followed by the song Long Wei had once sung.

What did this mean? He anxiously picked up the letter paper, only to find that the first sheet contained the lyrics to a single song.

[If I could make a wish, I wish there were nothing to hold me back.

I can't choose what I'm infatuated with, so I can only let my heart die before I

can happily sing and blow out the beautiful candlelight.

It's too ordinary that I couldn't make you love me; I shouldn't be sad.

Perhaps someone else will understand and cherish me.

Then, many years later, if love ends up

with you and her, you'll celebrate with all your heart.

Unfortunately, we're just good friends, so don't kiss me

. I'm willing to be by your side. It's regrettable that friendship lasts longer,

but true friends are so rare. Only by accepting this cruel temptation can I take

advantage of this evening to talk about the person I'm thinking of.

I couldn't make you love me. Even if life is long, I can't say where I'm headed.

Perhaps I'll find a good person who understands and cherishes me.

Then, many years later, if love ends up

with you and her, you'll celebrate with all your heart.

If we're just good friends, then kiss me.]

(Leung Hon-man: Good Friends)

[Who's listening to this song?] Hearing the commotion, a colleague came over and saw Lei Gang standing there dumbfounded, holding only a letter. Curious, he took it. "Wow, Lei Gang, is this a love song confessing his love to you? You're lucky..." "

What love song? Do you even know what this means?" Lei Gang clung to his colleague's clothes like a drowning man grasping at a straw. He didn't understand; his mind was completely blank, only repeating the incomprehensible song he'd just heard!

"This song is about your best friend falling in love with you, but deciding to give up to protect your relationship. You can't even understand such simple words? Looks like you really need to retake your Mandarin. But this song is pretty good, it's the one you're listening to now. Let me borrow it to listen to at home..." The colleague reached for the tape, but Lei Gang suddenly stood up, grabbed his colleague, and threw him out of his office, slamming the door shut. Leaning

against the door, Lei Gang realized his hands were trembling. There was still a sheet of paper left. What else could it be?

Lei Gang:

By the time you read this letter, Zheng Kai and I will have already gone to the airport. We're taking the 10 o'clock flight from Taiwan to the UK, and we probably won't be back for the next two or three years, maybe never. I've thought about things between you two for a long time. Although Zheng Kai said he wanted to keep this feeling a secret and never let you know, I think it's actually better for everyone if you know his feelings! You're not stupid; you should understand the lyrics of that song, and you should understand in your heart. Think about your past interactions with Zheng Kai, and then think about what you really want. If you've made up your mind, come to the airport. Whether it's good or bad, there should be an end. But I sincerely hope this is a beginning...

The 10 o'clock flight, Lei Gang subconsciously glanced at the clock. The hour hand pointed to nine. There was still time; he could still see Guo Zheng Kai again.

Unwilling to sort out his thoughts, Lei Gang grabbed the letter and was about to rush to the airport, but he was urgently called back as soon as he left the police station: [There has been a gun attack on the plane. Someone is armed and trying to kill lawyer Guo Zhengkai and business tycoon An Hongjie. Lei Gang, immediately gather everyone and mobilize...]

No way, this is impossible? Someone wants to kill Zhengkai? He will never forgive anyone who dares to touch Guo Zhengkai...

Standing in the airport hall, watching the endless flow of passengers, Guo Zhengkai subconsciously hoped that the person hidden in his heart would miraculously appear and jump in front of him to stop him from leaving, but then he secretly laughed at his own wishful thinking. When did he become so unrealistic? He didn't even have the courage to tell Lei Gang. He believed that Lei Gang was still in the police station waiting for him to pick him up after work!

Seeing Guo Zhengkai looking around, Ye Yi couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, no matter how much you hope, Lei Gang isn't going to fly out. You wouldn't say goodbye to him, but now that it's here, you're still not giving up. I don't understand what you're thinking."

Guo Zhengkai suddenly pulled Ye Yi into his arms, startling her. "What are you doing?"

"An Hongjie is over there..." Pointing to the distance, Guo Zhengkai hugged Ye Yi even tighter. "I didn't expect to see him again before I go abroad. Judging from his appearance,

he seems to be going abroad too!" "Really?" Ye Yi's voice lowered, but quickly recovered: "It's okay, I'm not that fragile. Zhengkai, don't worry too much about me... My brother is coming. You should let go first, or he'll definitely make things difficult for you later!"

"Could he have a sister complex?" Guo Zhengkai watched a handsome young man walk towards them. He deliberately hugged Ye Yi even tighter, and sure enough, the young man's face darkened even more.

"[Yi, who is he?]" The young man pulled Ye Yi away, completely ignoring Guo Zhengkai's snickering.

"[He's the great lawyer Guo Zhengkai, my good friend. Have you forgotten? I told you about him!]" Ye Yi hugged the young man and kissed him on the cheek. "[Why have you lost so much weight? Is the organization hard to manage? Are you working hard to make money again?]" "

[Zhengkai, this is my sworn brother—Geng Fanchen.]" Ye Yi introduced the two, his eyes suddenly meeting those of An Hongjie, who had been looking in their direction.

Ye Yi lowered his head to avoid An Hongjie's probing gaze, momentarily stunned by the unfamiliarity in his eyes. Geng Fanchen immediately noticed Ye Yi's odd behavior, and after seeing An Hongjie in Ye Yi's direction, his expression also changed.

"Oh, right, the plane's almost here, you should go in quickly..." Geng Fanchen suddenly pushed Ye Yi forward. Guo Zhengkai looked at them strangely, but when he saw An Hongjie walking towards them, he understood what was going on. He quickened his pace, trying to avoid An Hongjie, but to no avail, and the three of them were blocked by An Hongjie.

"You're Ye Yi, right?" An Hongjie was inexplicably agitated, but his face showed more confusion.

Seeing her ex-husband whom she had missed for two years, Ye Yi was surprisingly calm: "Hongjie, long time no see. How come you don't even recognize your childhood friend after only two years?" "

What's the point of talking to someone like him? Ye Yi, let's go!" Geng Fanchen was determined to avoid An Hongjie, but this attitude aroused Ye Yi's suspicion. Given Geng Fanchen's personality, if someone offended him even slightly, he would at least retaliate three times over. Why was he acting like he was avoiding an enemy, always telling them to leave?

"I recognize you. You've appeared in my dreams several times. I've been looking for you..." An Hongjie blocked Geng Fanchen's path, his eyes shining with excitement. "You must know who the girl who often appears in my dreams is, right?"

Guo Zhengkai felt that the relationship between the three of them was truly perplexing. Ye Yi loved An Hongjie, but An Hongjie couldn't remember her. He did remember her adopted brother, Geng Fanchen, and was determined to find his dream girl. In a word: chaotic!

"Ignore him. He's just talking nonsense. Yi, let's go!" Geng Fanchen didn't even look at An Hongjie's increasingly anxious expression and pushed him away, trying to leave. "

Stop, Fanchen. Are you hiding something from me? Why doesn't An Hongjie recognize me? He has no recollection of someone he grew up with. That's too unusual!" Ye Yi wasn't someone who was easily fooled. Geng Fanchen was someone she had personally mentored.

"Hey, everyone, are you standing here admiring the scenery? Well, now we're being the scenery for others to admire!" A light, cheerful voice broke the silence. The four looked up and saw it was Long Wei. Looking around, they saw a large group of people surrounding them, pointing and whispering.

Geng Fanchen glared at Long Wei, but immediately smiled: "Yes, how about this? We can talk about Mr. An's matter later. We're about to board, so Ye Yi and the others shouldn't delay any longer..."

Long Wei and Ye Yi stared at Geng Fanchen in surprise, unable to believe that in this situation, knowing everyone was about to lose their temper, he dared to be so carefree and try to get away with it.

"Wei, you should know what happened, right? Fanchen, have you forgotten what I was to you? It's easy for me to investigate your affairs. You don't expect me to do it myself, do you?" Nightwing

unloaded the luggage from Guo Zhengkai's shoulders. Seeing An Hongjie still looking bewildered, and Long Wei and Geng Fanchen's guilty expressions, Guo Zhengkai, looking like he was about to watch a good show, said, "I've decided, nobody's going to board today. Let's clear things up before we leave. I can afford one or two tickets..." "

Yes, I need to know why my memories are always fragmented? Why do you always appear in my dreams?" An Hongjie tore up his ticket and stared intently at Geng Fanchen, demanding an explanation.

Geng Fanchen looked pleadingly at Long Wei, only to see Long Wei looking up at the sky and ignoring him. He was going to die; this bastard wasn't even trying to save him! Then he looked at Guo Zhengkai, who was all smiles, arms crossed, clearly ready to watch the show. His heart burned with anger again; this was another gloating bastard!

Faced with Nightwing's rage, Geng Fanchen looked around frantically, trying to find a way to escape. Unexpectedly, he spotted several men in black stealthily approaching them.

"Nightwing, watch your surroundings!"

The sudden change in tone to a serious voice immediately alerted Nightwing and Long Wei. The three of them grabbed An Hongjie and Guo Zhengkai and tried to leave.

Seeing them trying to escape, the men in black, no longer caring about keeping a low profile, drew their guns and opened fire...

Faced with Nightwing's rage, Geng Fanchen looked around frantically, trying to find a way to escape. Unexpectedly, he spotted several men in black stealthily approaching them.

"Nightwing, watch your surroundings!"

The sudden change in tone to a serious voice immediately alerted Nightwing and Long Wei. The three of them grabbed An Hongjie and Guo Zhengkai and tried to leave.

Seeing them trying to escape, the men in black, no longer caring about keeping a low profile, drew their guns and opened fire...

Long Wei and Geng Fanchen quickly pulled An Hongjie and Guo Zhengkai aside, scrambling for cover. Gunfire erupted intermittently, accompanied by screams of pain from those hit. Ye Yi pulled a miniature pistol from Geng Fanchen's pocket, returning fire while covering their escape. Her marksmanship was uncanny; several shots felled two burly men. Unfortunately, outnumbered, they couldn't eliminate all the enemies.

[How dare you leave Ye Yi there?] Reaching temporary safety, Guo Zhengkai looked back and realized Ye Yi was quite far away, constantly dodging and returning fire. Several burly men had tried to rush over but were forced back by Ye Yi's gun. But Ye Yi was a girl! How could they let her protect them and put herself in danger?!

[Don't worry, our combined marksmanship isn't even half as accurate as hers, and besides, I have this...] Geng Fanchen pulled a small bottle from his pocket. Long Wei smiled sinisterly upon seeing this: [I didn't expect you to carry around something developed by a latent force... Hmph!]

[You bastard, you dare to laugh? Take this, and when you see an opportunity, open the bottle and throw it at us. But remember to shout, we're going to hold our breath!]

[Why me?] Taking the small bottle, Long Wei asked resentfully. He'd never actually faced a hail of bullets before, and now he was being asked to bravely go forward?

[If not you, then who? It's all your fault, you unscrupulous fortune teller! How could you not have predicted the danger beforehand? And you still dare to be so arrogant!]

[Who said I couldn't predict it? Ask Guo Zhengkai. I told him the plane would bring danger, but he didn't listen. What does it have to do with me?] Guo

Zhengkai was frantic, like an ant on a hot plate. The two men were still arguing. "If you won't throw it, I will..."

The two men sneered at Guo Zhengkai's volunteering: "It's best for outsiders to stay away from things that are considered 'secret'!" They

were joking, they didn't really know what this bottle was. If something happened to Guo Zhengkai, Nightwing would definitely kill them! Wait, why does it seem like someone's voice is missing?

The three of them looked at An Hongjie with a strange expression. He was sweating profusely, pale, and his lips were purple. He couldn't speak at all!

Long Wei tried to straighten him up, but the wet feeling made Long Wei's heart skip a beat. He turned An Hongjie around and sure enough, An Hongjie's suit was stained purple-blue with blood. An Hongjie had been shot at some point!

"Damn it, we need to deal with this quickly. Nightwing is probably about to collapse too." Long Wei took off An Hongjie's coat and tried his best to stop the bleeding, but the shirt he had just torn off was immediately stained red with blood again.

"The police here are so slow, why aren't they coming to help?" Geng Fanchen complained, clutching the small bottle Long Wei had given him, preparing to open it with one hand, his eyes fixed on the gunfight, searching for the perfect opportunity. Seeing several men retreating to reload because their guns were out of ammunition, Geng Fanchen immediately threw the opened bottle towards the enemy. A puff of yellow smoke followed the bottle as it flew through the air and landed in the enemy's area. Instantly, a pungent smell filled the air, and the burly men collapsed, foaming at the mouth, before they could even cover their noses. "

Amazing!

I really don't know what Qian's brain is made of, always making strange medicines, but they're really effective!" Geng Fanchen covered his nose, trying to hold his breath, and muttered to himself that he wanted Long Wei and the others to leave. But when he turned around, besides Long Wei, who was holding An Hongjie with a wry smile, and Guo Zhengkai lying on the ground foaming at the mouth…

Long Wei gestured to Geng Fanchen with his eyes, then smiled strangely: “You’re in trouble this time. Look behind you!”

Geng Fanchen cautiously looked back and saw Ye Yi, also holding his breath, his eyes wide open. The anger in his eyes made Geng Fanchen fearfully clasp his hands together and bow to Ye Yi: “I’m sorry!”

The smoke gradually dissipated. Long Wei, carrying An Hongjie, seemed to be struggling, walking with a limp. Geng Fanchen was carrying Guo Zhengkai, but he carried him quite easily. Ye Yi brought up the rear, and the three of them walked out of the airport terminal. As soon as they came out, they saw several police cars parked at the entrance, and the fully equipped police officers pointed their guns at them.

[Don’t shoot, they’re on our side!] Lei Gang, the deputy head of the Major Crimes Unit, jumped out and ran to

them. His gaze was immediately drawn to Guo Zhengkai in Geng Fanchen's arms. (

Chapter 15 of the Long Clan Series Side Story;
Word Count: 3410; Update Time: 09-02-22 11:52)
Reaching out, Lei Gang snatched Guo Zhengkai's unconscious body and held him tightly, his head resting against his chest as he listened intently. Only when he heard a faint heartbeat did he breathe a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, Guo Zhengkai wasn't dead! It was all that chief's fault for saying there was poison gas at the airport and they couldn't go in, only wait outside. If anything had happened to Guo Zhengkai, he would have fought him to the death!

Carrying Guo Zhengkai towards the waiting ambulance, Lei Gang found his legs trembling with every step. He wanted to walk faster, but his body was numb and wouldn't obey him. Only his hands could hold the body tightly in his arms, preventing it from swaying at all!

Ye Yi and An Hongjie were already in the ambulance; Long Wei and Geng Fanchen were nowhere to be seen.

Seeing Lei Gang's distraught state, Ye Yi could only comfort him: "It's alright, don't worry, he just inhaled some toxic gas, he'll recover quickly..." "

Really?" Lei Gang immediately looked up and stared intently at Ye Yi, seeking reassurance. Only after Ye Yi nodded heavily did Lei Gang weakly release Guo Zhengkai, letting the paramedics take him away.

"Do you know what happened?" Once he regained his senses, Lei Gang was back to his investigation.

"Someone wants to kill An Hongjie and Zhengkai. If they're targeting the same person, then the only connection is that case that just ended. Lei Gang, you understand?"

Suddenly, Ye Yi's tone changed; it was completely unlike her usual soft voice. Now, she sounded like a commanding figure, forcefully deciding everything!

[Nightwing...]

[It's alright, keep an eye on Zhengkai, I need to take care of Hongjie...] Holding the cold hand, Nightwing calmly watched the doctors' emergency treatment, his fingertips probing the barely perceptible pulse, using it to stabilize his emotions.

Seeing Nightwing's actions, Lei Gang, though bewildered, did the same, reaching out his warm hand to tightly grasp Guo Zhengkai's weak fingers, rubbing them repeatedly, hoping to warm Guo Zhengkai a little...

Opening his eyes, all he saw was white; for a moment, Guo Zhengkai couldn't perceive where he was, only knowing that all his joints were resisting him. Pain! That was his only sensation now…

Sensation was slowly returning, the warmth from his palms flowing through his body, warming him up. He looked strangely to the side, and there was a familiar face, so familiar it made his heart ache, lying beside the bed, their large hands tightly clasped, warmth continuously emanating from Lei Gang's hands…

[Lei Gang… wake up…] Reaching out his free hand, Guo Zhengkai shook Lei Gang. Having already remembered what had happened, he couldn't let go of his worry for Ye Yi and was eager to know what had happened afterward.

[Hmm, don't disturb me, I want to sleep…] Lei Gang, fast asleep, brushed away the hand that was getting in his way and sank back into sleep.

This sleeping pig! Knowing that Lei Gang was so sound asleep that even a thunderbolt wouldn't wake him, Guo Zhengkai didn't bother him anymore. He forcefully pulled his hand away, rolled out of bed, and although his body was a little sore, he was fine. He really didn't know what Geng Fanchen had thrown back then; it was so powerful that he had collapsed as soon as he smelled it, without even having time to cry for help!

He found a nurse making her rounds and, ignoring her astonished look, asked about Ye Yi's whereabouts. He couldn't believe Ye Yi would abandon him.

"You're looking for Miss Xia? She's with Mr. An right now, in the intensive care unit not far ahead!" The blushing nurse told Xia Ye Yi where he was and then eagerly tried to help Guo Zhengkai over.

"Miss, I believe I can handle this small matter by myself. Perhaps you could buy me some food? I just woke up and I'm a little hungry!" Guo Zhengkai, though already impatient, still made the most of the situation, pulling his arm away as he watched the nurse run off with a smile. He could only wryly smile; his charm was truly remarkable. Wasn't he just a patient? Yet he still managed to attract attention!

"Such high prices. Am I bothering you?" A somewhat unfamiliar voice sounded from behind. Guo Zhengkai turned around and saw Long Wei and Geng Fanchen. It seemed the speaker wasn't the familiar Long Wei, but this somewhat mysterious Geng Fanchen.

"Is there something you need? I was just about to go see Ye Yi..." Guo Zhengkai didn't understand their intention in blocking his way. Seeing the troubled expressions on Long Wei and Geng Fanchen's faces, it seemed they were afraid to see Ye Yi.

"Just tell me if there's anything I can help you with, no need to look so miserable..."

Long Wei and Geng Fanchen exchanged a glance, their expressions immediately relaxing. "We knew you were a good person, no wonder Ye Yi has been dating you for so long..."

They pulled Guo Zhengkai, who had just woken up, back to his room. Seeing Lei Gang still fast asleep like a log, Long Wei chuckled. "He said he'd take care of him and not let anyone else touch him, but he's sleeping like a log. Looks like even if the sky falls, he'll still sleep soundly!"

"Stop teasing him, just tell us what's wrong..." Guo Zhengkai picked up a thin blanket and covered Lei Gang, then sat on the sofa watching the two who had been sitting there for a while. They were pushing and shoving each other, and finally someone had chosen a spokesperson.

"I wanted you to explain something to Ye Yi, it's about An Hongjie..."

Thinking of the argument at the airport, Guo Zhengkai became interested, looking at the two who seemed to know the truth with curiosity. "Actually, An Hongjie's memory is faulty, and it was you two who did it, right?" [

As expected of a lawyer, you got right to the point...] Geng Fanchen looked up gratefully, finally having a chance to speak: [Nightwing is my sworn sister. We met ten years ago. Back then, I was a useless person, and Nightwing saved me from hell. So I won't allow anyone to owe her anything or hurt her!] [

Nightwing didn't introduce me to An Hongjie the first time. Something happened when Nightwing and I went to get intelligence. Nightwing was the leader of the organization at the time. Our organization is strange; it stipulates that the leader must wear a mask, and the mask isn't just chosen randomly...]

[Oh?] Guo Zhengkai became interested. This was the first time he had heard inside information about the Nightwing organization. It was worth it for him to chat with them on an empty stomach.

[If the current leader is beautiful or handsome, the mask must be ordinary, preferably a generic face, the kind that people wouldn't recognize even if they saw you a hundred times. If the face is average, the mask should be more beautiful, preferably one that immediately attracts attention and makes it impossible to look away...]

[Nightwing isn't considered beautiful, so that means her mask is very beautiful?] [

Yes, so you can imagine what happened after she bumped into An Hongjie on her mission. An Hongjie was obsessed with Ye Yi, completely unaware that Ye Yi was his childhood sweetheart and best friend!]

[In other words, An Hongjie fell in love with Ye Yi's illusion, a beautiful illusion...] Guo Zhengkai understood a little. It was truly a convoluted and bizarre story!

[Ye Yi already had a crush on An Hongjie, stemming from when he saved her when she was young. It's said that the scar on An Hongjie's back was from when he saved little Ye Yi who couldn't get down from the tree!]

[So Ye Yi was using a false identity to date An Hongjie?] Would that be considered fraud?

[No, Ye Yi didn't do that. But An Hongjie tried everything to get close to Ye Yi. Ye Yi kept rejecting or hinting, but An Hongjie couldn't figure it out. As a result, the two chased each other for more than a year, and Ye Yi slowly fell in love with this man who was so persistent in pursuing her. She was willing to confess her true self to him...]

[And then what happened?]

[Later, there was no later. Because of a mission, Ye Yi was injured and An Hongjie saw her true self. You can imagine how intense the feeling of being deceived and fooled was. An Hongjie said some harsh words and hurt Ye Yi. We were so angry that we used hypnosis to erase all the memories of Ye Yi being Luo Fan. Now, all that's left in An Hongjie's mind is the vague image of his childhood sweetheart!] Long Wei chimed in. After all, he was the one who did the hypnosis, and he was also involved in this matter.

[Then An Hongjie's father passed away, and his stepmother absconded with all the property, leaving An Hongjie with only an empty shell company. Knowing this, Ye Yi used a marriage deal to give An Hongjie renewed funds and opportunities, ostensibly to escape pressure from both families to marry, but actually to allow them a fresh start. Because Ye Yi knew An Hongjie had no memory of their past relationship!]

[That's not bad! A new beginning… An Hongjie probably doesn't just love Ye Yi's superficial appearance, right? Ye Yi is such a good woman!]

Geng Fanchen excitedly grabbed Guo Zhengkai: [We've found a comrade, did you know?] An Hongjie still retained some vague memories of Luo Fan. He relentlessly pursued the illusion, constantly searching for women who resembled her, yet he never glanced at Ye Yi beside him. Although the company was supported by the two of them, Ye Yi only received friendship. Listening to him recount his romantic history every time, even the person who loved him most would find it unbearable. After being ignored by An Hongjie time and time again, Ye Yi decided to give him one last chance. She confessed everything to him!

Guo Zhengkai couldn't help but feel nervous. He was the one who handled the divorce back then. Recalling An Hongjie's expression at that time, Guo Zhengkai couldn't help but feel sad for Ye Yi. [He doesn't believe it? He thinks Ye Yi is lying to him?] [

He didn't believe it, especially the day after he spent the night with a beautiful woman. He treated Ye Yi's words as a joke. Ye Yi was so angry that she immediately filed for divorce, and she even asked you to handle it. The end of this failed marriage hurt Ye Yi deeply. She needed time to be alone, so she gave up her position to me and opened a teahouse in Taiwan to live a leisurely life. Surprisingly, she and you became good friends, which was something we never expected...]

Guo Zhengkai roughly understood: [Because of the harm An Hongjie caused Ye Yi, you simply erased all memories of Ye Yi from An Hongjie's mind, so An Hongjie doesn't recognize Ye Yi at all!]

[Yes! I want him to be trapped in illusions for the rest of his life! I want him to never be able to have Ye Yi! This kind of punishment is the best for him. I want him to use a lifetime of emptiness to make up for the pain Ye Yi suffered...] Geng Fanchen said through gritted teeth. If An Hongjie were in front of him, there was no guarantee he wouldn't pounce on him!

It's been three days since Xia Yeyi last watched over An Hongjie, who was still unconscious, and there was still no sign of him waking up. Seeing the cold sweat constantly pouring down his face, Yeyi felt that his current coma wasn't caused by Shangshi, but rather some mental issues preventing him from waking up. But no one could help with that; it all depended on An Hongjie's willpower…

Stretching his limbs, he was just about to go to Guo Zhengkai's room to check on his condition when he opened the door and was met with Guo Zhengkai's concerned eyes.

[Awake? How are you feeling?] Xia Yeyi led An Hongjie to the sofa and sat him down, looking at him anxiously for a long time before confirming that Guo Zhengkai was alright.

[I'm fine. It hurt a little at first, but now I have much more strength, and my mind is very clear. There's nothing wrong with me.] Guo Zhengkai told him truthfully, feeling a warmth in his heart upon hearing Yeyi's concerned tone.

[And you? Has An Hongjie still not woken up?] Guo Zhengkai glanced at An Hongjie, who seemed to be struggling slightly.

[He's still having a nightmare; I believe he won't wake up anytime soon… You know who did this, right? I've already asked Fan Chen to handle it. As for you, do you still want to leave? Lei Gang's feelings for you are far more than just friendship…]

"So what? Unlike me, he's not separated from his family. He's just an ordinary person. Getting married and having children so his parents can have a peaceful old age is his responsibility. With such a strong sense of responsibility, would he really let go of all that and run away with me? He might have some unusual feelings for me, but how deep are they? I don't want to lose even the right to say hello to him in the future. Nightwing, you should know that I'm not actually that strong..." Guo Zhengkai's words were filled with deep weariness.

"I really shouldn't have let you become a lawyer. Being too clear-headed means you'll think of all the possibilities, and lawyers often calculate the worst-case scenario. You don't have that kind of courage to forge ahead regardless of everything. Maybe that's the difference between adults and children! I now hope that Lei Gang still has a childlike heart, so that everything can still change!" Nightwing patted Guo Zhengkai's shoulder to give him strength. People who think too much usually can't move forward. Guo Zhengkai might be ambitious in his career, but in matters of the heart, he's a coward who's afraid of getting hurt.

"Let's stick to our original plan and go to England after An Hongjie recovers. I came here specifically to tell you about this decision!" Guo Zhengkai grasped Ye Yi's hand. He needed an ally by his side. You can't call him selfish; he was truly afraid of being alone.

"Yes, let's leave after Hongjie wakes up, but really, we won't tell Lei Gang?" Guo Zhengkai seemed unaware that he had already told Lei Gang about his feelings; otherwise, he wouldn't be so calm now.

"No need..." Seeing Ye Yi's inexplicable smile, Guo Zhengkai felt a chill. "Why is he smiling so... cunningly?" He finally found a word; Guo Zhengkai was genuinely afraid of Ye Yi's smile.

"Because someone doesn't want you to leave without saying goodbye!" Xia Ye Yi pulled his hand, which had almost been burned by the gaze, up and pushed Guo Zhengkai out the door. "Let's have a proper talk. You'll never get anywhere if you don't try!" Guo

Zhengkai was inexplicably pushed out of the room by Ye Yi. It wasn't until a large hand forcefully grabbed him and dragged him back to his ward that Guo Zhengkai realized Lei Gang had woken up and been standing outside the ward listening for a long time.

"Lei Gang, you…" He wanted to ask how much he knew, but couldn't recall where he'd revealed his feelings for him. So, Lei Gang was probably angry about his sudden departure, right?

"What…" Pushing Guo Zhengkai back onto the bed, Lei Gang angrily pulled a chair over and sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes glaring at Guo Zhengkai, making him feel uneasy.

"I know it was my fault for leaving without saying goodbye. Can't I apologize?" Guo Zhengkai immediately lowered his head. Lei Gang was easy to appease; even if you did something terribly wronging him, an apology was enough to make him change his mind and treat you the same as before.

"You also know you left without saying goodbye? What am I to you? Do you think I'd be indifferent if someone who's always been with me suddenly disappeared? Don't you know how important you are to me?" "You think a relationship of over ten years will fade just because you secretly ran away? What do you take me for? Do you think I'm such a heartless, ungrateful, and cruel person?"

It was rare to see Lei Gang speak so fluently without stuttering, and he had never seen Lei Gang so angry and helpless before. Guo Zhengkai was speechless for a moment. He had never seen Lei Gang so aggressive. Had something happened that he didn't know about?

"Speak up! Aren't you a lawyer? Aren't you able to make the dead seem alive? Speak! Speak that you didn't want to run away from me! Speak that you didn't want to abandon me as a friend! Speak that you didn't have any strange feelings for me! Speak that you didn't fall in love with me…" Lei Gang shouted the last three words hoarsely. Fortunately, the soundproofing in this first-class ward was excellent; otherwise, the nurse on duty might have thought a murder had occurred.

His head felt like it had been hit hard with a hammer. Guo Zhengkai felt his blood suddenly freeze. Everything before his eyes blurred, making him terrified. Why would Lei Gang say such things? How did he know about his deeply buried feelings?

His head felt like it had been struck by a heavy hammer; Guo Zhengkai felt his blood suddenly freeze. Everything before him blurred, terrifying him. Why would Lei Gang say such a thing? How did he know about his deeply buried feelings?

"I don't love..." he tried to deny it, but his feelings were so real. The person before him was his beloved; how could he lie to him

? "You still dare to say you don't?" Lei Gang, unable to suppress his anger, threw a punch at Guo Zhengkai's face before he even realized what he was doing. Caught off

guard, Guo Zhengkai had no time to dodge and had to take the blow. The force of the punch made his mouth water. He licked the blood from the corner of his mouth: "Are you simmering now?" Seeing

Guo Zhengkai so calm, Lei Gang became even more enraged, lunging forward and punching him left and right as if he wouldn't be satisfied until he beat Guo Zhengkai half to death...

After Lei Gang punched him several times, Guo Zhengkai finally couldn't hold back anymore: What right did this idiot have to beat him? He had thought so much for him, loved him so deeply, and in the end, he still got a good beating in return. He wasn't a criminal!

[Enough? Lei Gang, don't think I won't fight back...]

[Fine, fight back! You cowardly coward, you're supposed to be a great lawyer, but you're as timid as a mouse...] Lei Gang had lost his rationality. Now he just wanted to beat Guo Zhengkai to vent his anger. He actually wanted to run away from him, he actually dared to ignore him who had guarded him for three days and three nights and go to invite Ye Yi to leave!

He was angry, he was crazy, all his feelings had been rejected, what was this?

Turning red-faced from Lei Gang's scolding, Guo Zhengkai's anger flared up as well. He forcefully grabbed the flailing hands in front of him and restrained them: "What do you know? What is cowardice? Do you know what 'I love you' means? You have no idea what it means.

What right do you have to yell at me..." "What does it mean? Isn't it just 'I love you'? Is it some kind of drug?" Lei Gang struggled desperately to free his hands, but Guo Zhengkai's strength was unexpectedly powerful. Even with all his strength, he couldn't break free.

Guo Zhengkai was truly exasperated by this simple-minded creature. How dare he straddle him and shake him around like that, and even naively ask him what "I love you" meant? Did he know that a person's rationality is ultimately limited...?

Deciding to no longer suppress his feelings, Guo Zhengkai suddenly pulled Lei Gang down, flipped him over, and pinned him down, instantly switching positions. Lei Gang looked up at Guo Zhengkai above him, that unsettling gaze fixed directly into his eyes, like a whirlpool sucking him in. In that dark world, only a sliver of light illuminated his panicked yet expectant face. His heart clenched, and he lost all strength, only able to watch Guo Zhengkai's handsome face draw closer, his face displaying a deep affection he had never seen before... So he could have such a captivating expression!

Their lips met perfectly, thanks to Guo Zhengkai's initiative and Lei Gang's cooperation. Guo Zhengkai, like a wolf starved for a long time, attacked greedily and fiercely, his tongue nimbly and domineeringly entwining with Lei Gang's slightly hesitant and withdrawn one, again and again, deeper and deeper. Lei Gang couldn't bear it and tried to push away the weight pressing down on him, but his hands were held captive above his head by large hands. He couldn't even shake his head and could only endure the sudden surge of passion that overwhelmed him, leaving him completely submerged!

No one knows how much time passed. Only when he felt his breath dry and his lungs screamed did the unprecedentedly deep kiss stop. Lei Gang looked at Guo Zhengkai, who was now looking down at him, in disbelief. Was Guo Zhengkai really such a passionate person? The passion emanating from him was so intense that even someone as simple-minded as him would blush and feel hot, but that wasn't scary, was it? Why was Zhengkai so hesitant to express his feelings?

As if knowing Lei Gang's question, Guo Zhengkai smiled mischievously: "What a fool, do you think this means 'I love you'?" My love is beyond your capacity to bear. Do you really think I'm such a gentle person? Do you really think I'm so selfless? Today you've exposed this facade, so I'll show you my true colors...

Fingers deftly unbuttoned Lei Gang's shirt, and warm, intoxicating hands invaded, skillfully caressing every soft spot on his body. The precise pressure left Lei Gang powerless to resist, obediently feeling the constant changes in his body. Lei Gang wasn't so foolish as to not understand Guo Zhengkai's next move.

Did he really want to hug him? Wouldn't he feel disgusted?

Finally remembering that they were both men, Lei Gang felt a chill run down his spine. The thought that Guo Zhengkai, who was caressing him, had the same anatomy as him, slowly cooled his burning body. He finally understood that Zhengkai's love was treating him like a woman. A surge of anger welled up inside him. How could he be considered a woman? How dare Guo Zhengkai look down on him like this!

Feeling his body begin to stiffen and grow cold, Guo Zhengkai laughed, a bitter laugh: "Do you understand now? You keep condemning my concealment and avoidance, but you can't accept this feeling at all. You're just driven by possessiveness! Do you think I'm strong?" No, I'm not strong! I can tell you now, don't think of me as incompetent, and don't think of yourself as great, capable of sacrificing everything to salvage this friendship! You are Lei Gang, the deputy captain of the serious crimes unit, a man among men. You couldn't possibly accept the sight of yourself moaning and submitting to other men, nor could you overcome your inviolable male dignity. Forget about today's events, and we can still exchange greetings when we meet again. If you can't forget, then don't see me again. Friendship has always been a lie; there's no such thing as a beautiful feeling between us…”

He didn't quite understand Guo Zhengkai's meaning, but the weight on his body disappeared, the burning body temperature turned cold, and the gentle Zhengkai who had treated him was gone. Standing in front of the bed was a stranger he had never met. More than ten years of friendship had been a lie; the person in front of him had never considered him a friend. He had only been trying to suppress and create an illusion in his heart…

What exactly does the word "love" represent?

Lying on the hospital bed in a daze for a long time, Lei Gang felt his mind still couldn't function. Guo Zhengkai's words were like gibberish, impossible to understand. "Can't we just be friends? Can't we just stay together as friends forever? Even if you love him, you don't necessarily have to sleep with him!"

[Sigh, I really don't understand how lawyers think. Simple things become complicated...] Lei Gang jumped out of bed, deciding to find Guo Zhengkai first. He refused to believe that the feelings they had invested over the past ten years could be so easily destroyed.

Opening the door, he saw Ye Yi standing against the wall with a dark face. For some reason, he felt a sense of disgust seeing Ye Yi now. Lei Gang forced a smile: "Hi, Ye Yi, have you seen Zhengkai? I need to talk to him..."

[I originally thought you had thought things through before coming here. Or is it that your pig brain hasn't opened yet?] [Nightwing's words were harsh from the start. The exhausted and dejected Guo Zhengkai had appeared before her, begging her to leave with him in tears. She had never seen him so lost, so heartbroken and disappointed. Had she done something wrong? Lei Gang could never give Guo Zhengkai happiness! Now everything was out in the open, and everything was over…

[What I think is none of your business. Where's Zhengkai? Is he with you? He just woke up…]

[So what? I have connections at this hospital. I can easily find him another room to rest in so he won't be bothered by you. Wasn't hurting him once enough? Do you want to hurt him a second time?]

[When did I ever hurt him? I just…] Suddenly remembering the heartbroken expression on Guo Zhengkai's face as he turned to leave, her heart clenched, and the words stuck in her throat. She knew she was speaking without thinking!

[Enough. I'll be leaving Taiwan with Zhengkai in a few days. If you're worried about his health, I can tell you he's basically fine. He just needs a couple more days of rest. I don't want him to suffer your anger while he's recovering!] "In all these years I've known you, Lei Gang, I've never seen you compromise. No matter what, Zheng Kai always puts you first, always prioritizing you. He's lived this kind of life for too long and it's exhausting. He's forgotten that you're better off with everyone else..." [

"What makes you say that?"] Unable to bear Ye Yi's repeated sarcasm and insults, Lei Gang, disregarding the fact that she was a frail woman, grabbed Ye Yi's hand in a fit of rage, trying to stop her from continuing.

Ye Yi shoved Lei Gang away, clapping her hands: "Lei Gang, you're so disappointing. You're not welcome here. Leave now. Don't forget you're still the deputy head of the Major Crimes Unit. The airport shooting case is still waiting for you to solve! This is truly your chance to prove yourself and show your manliness! You don't need to worry about Guo Zheng Kai treating you like a woman anymore..."

How foolish! What makes you, Lei Gang, resemble a woman? "Which woman beside Zheng Kai isn't as good as you? He's just foolish in matters of the heart to cherish you, constantly respecting and tolerating you, pushing himself to the brink of despair!"

Ye Yi ignored Lei Gang, who was still sitting on the ground, waved his hand, turned around, and strode away. Lei Gang watched in disbelief as the thin figure gradually disappeared. Was it really him who had been thrown to the ground? Was it really Ye Yi who had thrown him? It was as if the world had changed overnight, becoming something he couldn't accept! "

[The ground is already clean enough; you don't need to offer your clothes to wipe it again!]" A slightly sarcastic voice rang out. Lei Gang looked in the direction of the voice and saw Long Wei and a man he had never seen before standing in front of him, their faces bearing fake smiles that were extremely irritating to Lei Gang.

"[Long Wei, are you deliberately trying to make fun of me?]" Lei Gang stood up, dusting off invisible dirt to hide his shame and anger. This bastard had given him the letter and then made such a mess of things!

[I can't laugh unless someone does something ridiculous! Nightwing rarely attacks her own people, so it seems you're quite favored by her!] Geng Fanchen felt a mixture of gratitude and sarcasm when he saw Lei Gang move Nightwing elsewhere. This man's brain was truly simple-minded; he was infuriating, especially to intelligent people who would probably vomit blood if they encountered him!

[Who exactly are you?] Lei Gang, with his strong sense of danger, wasn't stupid in this regard. He keenly sensed the ambiguous, righteous yet wicked aura about the man before him, who seemed like a marginalized, gray-skinned individual.

[I am, of course, the bar owner, and this is Geng Fanchen, the chairman of this hospital. He's the one who saved Guo Zhengkai!] But it was also him who caused Guo Zhengkai's coma!

[Is that so? I'm asking about his background; he's definitely not an ordinary person!]

[Luo Fan, your disguise seems a bit weak; you were actually seen through by this simple-minded creature!] Long Wei grinned slyly: "Come on, you lost. Give me my ten thousand yuan!"

Geng Fanchen, the simple-minded man, was quite sensitive to this kind of thing. Here, take it. Don't always try to extort me; one day I'll get it all back!" After handing the money to Long Wei, Geng Fanchen put his arm around Long Wei's shoulder. "Let's bet again, this time for a bigger bet..." "

What are we betting on? What's the stake?" Ignoring Lei Gang's increasingly red face, the two began discussing amongst themselves.

"We bet this simple-minded guy will confess first next time, and then Guo Zhengkai will pounce on him like a hungry tiger!"

"Isn't that exactly the same as before? I bet the opposite..."

"You two bastards were peeping..." Lei Gang, who had already reddened with anger, quickly understood the conversation between Long Wei and Geng Fanchen. His face, already flushed, turned even redder, and he reached out to grab the two shameless bastards and give them a good beating.

The two nimbly dodged and then grabbed Lei Gang by the arms: "Sorry, Nightwing gave the order. She doesn't want to see you in this hospital anymore, so you'll have to make do..."

Holding the struggling and cursing Lei Gang, they easily tossed him out of the hospital: "A word of advice: solve the case before you come back to apologize, or Nightwing will make things very difficult for you!"

The two men, laughing loudly as they left, ignored Lei Gang's curses. After closing the hospital door and instructing security not to let the madman in, they straightened up, their faces full of remorse, and went upstairs to beg for forgiveness, hoping Ye Yi would forgive them this time.

Looking at An Hongjie, still struggling in his nightmare, Ye Yi turned back to the two men, heads bowed in remorse, and sighed softly: "I know you meant well, but why didn't you tell me beforehand? Wei, you should know that repeatedly using deep hypnosis on someone can easily destroy their nerves." "

If I had told you beforehand, this wouldn't have been possible. Why are you still protecting that bastard? If he had looked down on me like that, I would have already…"

He hugged Geng Fanchen, interrupting his words: "Fan, I'm sorry to have worried you…" "

I didn't want to see you sad. You are my last remaining family. I will never forgive anyone who hurts you!" Geng Fanchen hugged Ye Yi back, that warm feeling still lingering. Ye Yi's care for him had never changed. His beloved sister had forgiven him…

[He was destined to be with me but not to stay together. I'm happy and content with you brothers…] He pulled Long Wei, who was standing to the side with a hint of envy, over: [Don't forget, you are also brothers I care about… I would give everything for you…]

Long Wei squeezed out of Geng Fanchen's embrace and hugged Ye Yi tightly: [Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I would still be locked in a cage and wouldn't have this free life. If it weren't for you, I…] Long Wei seemed to have something to hide, causing him to swallow his words. He simply looked at Ye Yi, who seemed to understand, and hugged her tightly again: [Promise us you will make yourself happy…]

[I know, but you will still be punished this time. You will have to take good care of An Hongjie as atonement. I will leave here with Zheng Kai the day after tomorrow to go to England to relax!]

[Okay, we will never mistreat him again this time, don't worry!] Anyway, he couldn't remember anything. If only Nightwing could never see him again, that would be even better. But things didn't go as planned, so let him go for now!

[Don't think I don't know what you're planning? I'll be back in a year. You need to give me a healthy, intact An Hongjie then. Don't try anything dirty...]

She knew perfectly well what Geng Fanchen was thinking. Having lost all compassion, his ruthlessness was chilling to the bone whenever someone offended someone he wanted to protect! His methods were cruel, even to himself!

[Understood...] They agreed in unison, Long Wei and Geng Fanchen forced to accept the punishment. Nightwing actually wanted them to take care of that damned An Hongjie—what a brilliant move!

In a hazy dream, he seemed to see again the woman who had always haunted his dreams, nagging at his thoughts. Her skillful gunplay, her agile movements, her beautiful face, her unwavering will! She would smile at him, she would curse at him, she would get angry, she would throw a tantrum, she would… Why did the image disappear here? He could only vaguely see her crying, crying because of him. No… He had to let her know how much he loved her. Don't cry! I'll agree to anything… Don't go! I love you! Believe me…

In a daze, he saw another woman. She wasn't beautiful, but always wore a caring smile. Her gentle and steady demeanor helped him achieve success in the business world time and time again, managing the trivialities of his life and bringing him countless conveniences. But why did she leave? So decisively, so resolutely. It was as if he had lost half his body; after she left, he couldn't do anything. He couldn't conduct business, couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, until… why couldn't he remember again? Darkness enveloped him once more. Come back, don't go! Come back…

A ray of light pierced his vision. In an unknown place, he saw the woman, without striking beauty, firing a gun. Her nimble movements gave him a very familiar feeling. Who was it? Who gave him this feeling?

Just as the woman turned around, another beautiful face was pressed against hers, seamlessly blending together. In that instant, he understood: the two women he cared about were the same person. All the emotions buried deep within him surged forth, overwhelming him. He couldn't grasp anything around him; he couldn't escape the vortex that was pulling him away. Suddenly, a sharp pain, growing stronger with each passing moment, jolted him awake. He had to find that woman; he couldn't lose her again…

[…Hongjie, I'm leaving. Perhaps you'll never remember me, but I will still love you. Do you remember how you bravely saved me and comforted me so I wouldn't cry? I'll remember you for the rest of my life…] A gentle voice kept whispering in his ear. He struggled to swim towards the source of the voice. She couldn't leave; he had to see her; she couldn't leave…

[…Goodbye…] Those three words struck An Hongjie's heart heavily. He jolted awake, sitting bolt upright, only to be pulled back down by the pain.

[Awake?] "Useless! You've been unconscious for so long, over a week, and even your external injuries are starting to heal!" The cold sarcasm didn't register with An Hongjie. At this moment, he was looking around, wondering where the owner of that gentle voice was.

"What are you looking at? Feeling uneasy waking up and not seeing a beautiful woman? I'll find one for you later!"

Finally, the relentless sarcasm drew his attention back. Turning around, he saw the man who occasionally appeared in his dreams. He remembered—this man was Ye Yi's sworn brother—Geng Fanchen!

"Where is Ye Yi?" An Hongjie felt his mind becoming clearer, the images gradually returning. Two women's faces kept alternating, finally merging into one, becoming the face of Ye Yi he had seen at the airport…

"You're asking about Ye Yi? She left. She went abroad two days ago. She left with her fiancé, Guo Zhengkai, who is also your defense lawyer!"

Geng Fanchen noticed something was amiss with An Hongjie. Shouldn't he have no memory of Ye Yi? Even if you saw her at the airport, you shouldn't ask about Ye Yi's whereabouts as soon as you wake up, right?

[She left, she left again? Tell me, where did she go?]

Caught off guard by the sudden grab, Geng Fanchen stared in shock at An Hongjie's clear eyes. An Hongjie remembered everything? What was going on?

[Look at me. You need to rest now. Close your eyes and slowly drift off to sleep…] Geng Fanchen tried his best to block An Hongjie's memory again, but unfortunately, he completely failed this time. An Hongjie responded with a fierce punch, leaving Geng Fanchen's face red and swollen.

[So it was you. You're the one who hypnotized me. I remember now. The boy next to Luo Fan was you. Luo Fan is Ye Yi, right?] An Hongjie gasped for breath. His body, still exhausted from waking up, was terrifyingly clear-headed. He couldn't fall asleep again, or Ye Yi would forget him again! He would hurt her again! She would avoid him again!

This is troublesome. A glint flashed in Geng Fanchen's eyes. The next second, he was beside An Hongjie, and with a swift chop, he knocked An Hongjie unconscious again. It seems he'll have to find that hypnotist, Long Wei, to erase this man's memory again!

"This time won't work!" Long Wei firmly rejected Geng Fanchen's suggestion.

"Why? Didn't you agree to erase An Hongjie's memory back then?" Geng Fanchen looked at Long Wei's unusually resolute expression, puzzled.

"That's because another hypnosis session would be a third deep hypnosis session. If we try to erase his memory while his consciousness is so strong, he could easily become mentally impaired. Do you remember how we adapted to Ye Yi? We promised to give her a healthy An Hongjie in a year. You haven't forgotten, have you? Ye Yi hates people who don't keep their promises!"

Geng Fanchen was speechless. Why did he agree to Ye Yi's request in the first place? Why did An Hongjie remember Ye Yi again? Why did An Hongjie know that Luo Fan was Ye Yi?

[I think it's because he saw Ye Yi's expression and skills when he transformed back into Luo Fan on a mission at the airport. This triggered his deeply buried memories, perhaps his most profound memories of Luo Fan, causing them to surface instantly and bringing back everything he had forgotten. This is a difficult academic problem to explain! This time, we are powerless to take the initiative and can only passively reverse the situation.]

[How to reverse it? An Hongjie even remembered Ye Yi?] Geng Fanchen felt a surge of irritation. Only when it came to Ye Yi's affairs would his mind go blank, requiring the help of this troublesome Long Wei.

[Completely conceal Ye Yi and Guo Zhengkai's whereabouts, and find a few beautiful women to distract An Hongjie. Isn't he a playboy? He even dared to sleep with underworld women, and that's why he got himself killed!]

Yes, no matter how you look at it, An Hongjie isn't a loyal person. We should first conceal Ye Yi's whereabouts and then deal with An Hongjie, lest he accidentally find Ye Yi, which would be a nightmare.

[That's settled! You go find the beauties, I'll cover it up. I guarantee no one will be able to find their whereabouts!]

The two split up to do their jobs, but they forgot about one person: Lei Gang was also looking for Guo Zhengkai! With their meddling, the day Lei Gang would see Guo Zhengkai again seemed a long way off...

Sitting in the still crowded bar, Lei Gang kept glaring at Long Wei, who was pretending to be ignorant. He watched Long Wei flirt with the bartender and chat with customers, flitting around like a butterfly, never turning to look at him. He knew Long Wei was guilty; he definitely knew where Guo Zhengkai was!

[Deputy Team Leader Lei, you're here...] Patting Lei Gang, who was now more focused, An Hongjie sat down next to him and ordered a cocktail.

[An Hongjie, you're here too. It seems Long Wei is determined to keep his mouth shut and never tell us their whereabouts. We need to think of another way...]

Having been watching Long Wei for over half a year, Lei Gang and An Hongjie were very familiar with each other. Although he didn't understand why An Hongjie was looking for Ye Yi, he was certain that Ye Yi and Zheng Kai were together. He had investigated for a long time and tried many methods but still couldn't find Zheng Kai's whereabouts. He only knew that Long Wei would definitely know where they were, so the two of them went to Long Wei's door every day to pester him. Anyway, everyone was idle now, so it was just a matter of who had the most patience!

[What else can we do? If we can't find Geng Fanchen, the only one we can catch now is Long Wei. We can only keep watch over him and slowly search. I really don't understand how these two seem to have disappeared and we can't find anything. You're a policeman, you should have some inside information!]

[Of course we have some. It seems that the organization behind Ye Yi is very powerful. I can't get their information at all!] Lei Gang grew angrier the more he thought about it. What was this? By the time he had everyone captured and was excitedly heading to see Guo Zhengkai, he and Ye Yi had already escaped! How could those two be so infuriating!

"You and Guo Zhengkai are actually a couple, aren't you?" An Hongjie cautiously inquired, sensing some connection between this hot-tempered man and the calm lawyer Guo Zhengkai. His nervousness gave him that feeling!

"We're not a couple, don't talk nonsense..." Lei Gang's face flushed red. Damn it, why do people always assume concern stems from love? Can't it be friendship?

"Isn't it? Even if a friend disappears for a year or two, there's no need to be so worried. After all, he's a capable adult. His desire to relax and leave is his own choice. Even the best of friends should only respect that. But I've never seen a friend as anxious as you, as if it's a matter of life and death!"

"Are you trying to get revenge?" "An Hongjie..." As if his secret had been exposed, Lei Gang suddenly spoke up, his voice so loud that everyone around them stared at them!

"Don't you know you two are attracting a lot of attention? If you want to fight, go outside. I'm happy to have some peace and quiet!" Long Wei saw Lei Gang's look of wanting to start a fight and had no

choice but to step in and mediate. He was joking, he was going to hand over the bar to Long Yan tomorrow. If a fight broke out today, and it involved a high-ranking policeman and a corporate president, he wouldn't be able to escape tomorrow!

"Then tell us where Zheng Kai is? Where is Ye Yi?" Lei Gang put an arm around Long Wei's neck, looking fierce. He had just had his secret exposed, and now that he saw the culprit here, he had to interrogate him quickly!

"I said I didn't know. Actually, if you think about it, after Guo Zheng Kai broke up with you, he might think things through and start a new life. You could also save a friend from struggling and worrying about his love life. Wouldn't that be better?" Long

Wei was clearly being sarcastic. Seeing Lei Gang's relentless pursuit over the past six months, everyone knew he harbored some unusual feelings for Guo Zhengkai. He just didn't know when this stubborn guy would finally see the light!

"What about Ye Yi? I want to see her..." An Hongjie coldly stared at the person who had erased most of his memories, feeling immense heartache for missing out on Ye Yi for so many years, and even more hatred for the person before him.

"I will absolutely not let you see Ye Yi. You have no right!" Long Wei never showed any mercy to those he disliked. They had gone to such lengths to keep all news of Ye Yi from An Hongjie, but they had overlooked Lei Gang, which was why they now had to flee. If Ye Yi knew that the Lei Gang Guo Zhengkai couldn't forget was also suffering, and that they were the ones preventing Lei Gang from finding them, wouldn't she be doomed? Ye Yi longed for Guo Zhengkai's happiness...

"What do you want?" A furious shout rang out, and everyone looked on in confusion. A handsome man rushed towards them and snatched Long Wei away.

Suddenly, all eyes were on the boss, Long Wei, and the dashing man. Could it be that they also had…

[Yan, what brings you here? Weren't you supposed to take over tomorrow?] Long Wei looked at Long Yan, who had grabbed him, completely bewildered. When did Long Yan become so eager to visit the set? Wasn't he always unhappy about his frequent trips?

[If I didn't come, wouldn't you be bullied? Who is this guy? Why is he grabbing you and putting his arm around your neck!] Long Yan was extremely protective of his reputation. Regardless of who was right or wrong, no one could lay a hand on his brothers.

Seeing the increasingly suggestive looks from the surrounding crowd, Long Wei shuddered. What a joke! He couldn't let this womanizing Long Yan ruin his reputation!

[Dear guests, this is the "noble" boss who will be appearing tomorrow in my place—Long Yan, my elder brother! A warm welcome to him!] A burst of enthusiastic applause made Lei

Gang, An Hongjie, and especially Long Yan, who were in the center, extremely uncomfortable. Each grabbed Long Wei, and the four of them hurriedly slipped out of the crowd to the upstairs lounge for a quiet talk. Long Yan was beginning to think that his younger brother, Long Wei, did indeed have the ability to make one want to punch him.

"Why did you come here? Did something happen?" Long Wei whispered to Long Yan, unable to imagine what could possibly be worth Long Yan sacrificing sleep to come see him.

Long Yan didn't answer quietly: "Nightwing is coming back tomorrow. I came to ask you to postpone your departure by a day so we can pick her up from the airport..."

Upon hearing this, Long Wei burst into tears, Lei Gang and An Hongjie stood there dumbfounded, and only Long Yan stared at their strange expressions, bewildered. Had they seen a ghost?

Passengers at the airport couldn't help but glance at a group of people in the center of the airport for a few seconds. Everyone was curious as to why these tall, handsome, and distinctive men were standing in the middle of the airport with such solemn expressions. However, when they saw one of them glaring at another handsome man with murderous eyes, everyone quickly moved away to avoid trouble!

[Did Nightwing take this flight back? It's so late and there's still no sign of her.] An Hongjie couldn't help but speak up. He believed that even if he didn't speak, Lei Gang would grab Long Wei and interrogate him. However, several of Long Wei's brothers were also present today, and judging from their arrogance, he couldn't let Lei Gang make a move, lest he be completely destroyed.

[How should I know? Maybe she saw you were there and immediately turned around and boarded a plane back!] Long Wei didn't give An Hongjie a friendly look, which was very different from his usual style. The other brothers of the Long family immediately scanned An Hongjie to see if there was anything unusual about him that would make Long Wei drop his signature smile. However, they couldn't see anything. Long Feng could hold back, after all, he never cared about others, but Long Yan couldn't hold back. Since last night, his questions had been rolling around and growing bigger and bigger. His curiosity swelled to the extreme. What exactly was the relationship between these two people and Nightwing? Why did they insist on coming to pick up the Long family members at the airport, as if Long Wei owed them a debt!

[Alright? Fellow brothers of the Long family...] Hearing the call, Long Yan and Long Feng knew Ye Yi had appeared even without seeing the newcomer. Only she would specifically target their sore spot. She was only half a year older than Long Yan, yet she always acted like the older sister, making it hard not to want to fight her and shut her up. Unfortunately, Ye Yi never fought them, except for that one time when they went to assassinate Luo Fan!

[Ye Yi!] Only An Hongjie and Lei Gang rushed forward first. The three handsome men of the Long family didn't move, only exchanging glances. Long Feng was even preparing to turn around and leave, after all, the company was still being established, and he had taken time out of his busy schedule.

Ye Yi saw the two rushing forward and only rolled her eyes slightly in surprise, but her face was full of smiles: [Why are there two distinguished guests here to pick me up? Wei, is this your doing?]

[I wouldn't do such a thing. These two have been pestering me for a year just to find you. Now I'm handing them over to you. I'm going to catch a plane now, so I don't run into Fan and I'll be in big trouble!] After saying that, she tossed her backpack aside and tried to leave.

Nightwing was still smiling, but it was clear she was getting happier. Even though An Hongjie and the others had a thousand words they wanted to say to Nightwing, they couldn't utter them because of her expression; it was truly strange.

"You want to run? Let me beat you up first!" A hand grabbed the backpack, preventing Long Wei from moving. Geng Fanchen's face had appeared behind Long Wei at some point, his fury making Long Wei desperately look to Long Feng and the others for help!

"Feng, Yan, save me!"

Long Feng glanced at the two and just snorted, "You'd better let him beat you up, so he doesn't come after Hui! You'll be in even worse shape then!"

Long Yan was incredibly kind, turning Long Wei to Geng Fanchen: "Now we're handing him over to you. Just remember not to beat him into a pig's head! We have to go now. Hui will be hosting a welcome dinner for you tonight, Nightwing, remember to come!"

The two left after speaking, leaving only Long Wei's tearful face. Had they harbored resentment for too long, unwilling to act on their own, so they heartlessly abandoned him?

Ignoring the grudges between Geng Fanchen and Long Wei, Lei Gang placed his hands on Ye Yi's shoulders. He had already carefully checked the airport; there was no sign of Guo Zhengkai. Weren't they together? "

Ye Yi, where's Zhengkai? Where is he? Didn't he come back with you?" He asked anxiously again and again, but Ye Yi simply smiled calmly and gently pushed Lei Gang away.

"Zhengkai said he wanted to travel to other countries to forget his troubles. I came back first because I had an appointment with the Long family. He's still wandering in France. Maybe he'll come back when he's thought things through!" "

So, he might not come back?" Lei Gang grew increasingly anxious. Last night, he thought he would see Guo Zhengkai today. He had imagined countless scenarios, thinking about how he should apologize to Guo Zhengkai if they met again. He hadn't meant to hurt him, but now everything was in vain. Guo Zhengkai hadn't returned at all; he couldn't see him at all!

[Perhaps, he's more relaxed abroad; that kind of life suits him better!] Ye Yi gently took Lei Gang's hand. [Lei Gang, perhaps I was too harsh with my words back then. If you really can't accept Zhengkai, I can't blame you. I apologize for my hostility towards you back then, but after a whole year, have you thought it through? Do you understand what Zhengkai means to you? Even when Zhengkai sees something new abroad, the first thing he says is, "If you were here, what would you do?" He often spends countless boring afternoons listening to music and holding your photos. I couldn't bear to see him like that anymore and wanted to call him back, but he said he felt much more relaxed without facing you. He could imagine what it would be like with you without feeling guilty. He truly loves you! He loves you so much that he doesn't know how to express his feelings!] Love has made this strong man afraid to face even the slightest criticism from you! Think it through. If you think it through, come to this address to find him. He'll be returning to our settlement in England next month. I hope you can bring him true happiness then! 】

Lei Gang blankly accepted the note from Ye Yi. He stared blankly as An Hongjie took his seat. He didn't know when he left the airport, only that he was woken up by his mother!

】 "Weren't you going to pick up Zheng Kai? Why are you back like this?" Lei's oblivious mother couldn't understand why her son looked so lost. Had he broken up with his girlfriend? 】

"Mom…" For some reason, Lei Gang suddenly wanted to tell his mother everything. He really couldn't understand his feelings at this moment. He knew he was stupid; he couldn't distinguish between friendship and love. He was so afraid that if he gave Zheng Kai hope, he would only realize in the end that he truly only had friendship for him. How desperate Zheng Kai would be then!

Listening quietly to her son's story, Lei's mother went from initial shock to calm, then burst into laughter: "Gang, you silly son, you're worrying about such pointless things!" "

What pointless things? If your son really is gay, I'd like to see how you hold your grandson!" Lei Gang couldn't stand his own thick-skinned nature.

"I gave up on you a long time ago. When you date a beautiful woman, it's because you're truly in love, you just don't want people to say you don't have a girlfriend. Considering your friendship with Zheng Kai for so many years, tell me, aren't your feelings for him deeper than for your old mother? You go to him first when you have a problem, first when you're tired, first when you have good news, first when you're sad. I've never seen you go to any other friends. Zheng Kai has never forced you to have these feelings, but subconsciously you've already put Zheng Kai first, more important than us two old folks, you just don't want to admit it!"

Looking at Lei's mother, who spoke so eloquently, Lei Gang asked doubtfully: "You accept that your son is gay so easily?" [

Your father and I discussed this issue a long time ago. We've always believed that no one but Zheng Kai can take care of you or control you. We've accepted that. If you really can't help us find a wife, then another son will do! We're not the kind of people who are rigidly conventional. Seeing you happy has always been our wish. When your father eloped with me, we decided that we would never let our son's path in love be hindered in the slightest!]

Lei Gang finally found the address on the note with his broken English. After confirming it several times, he finally went up to knock on the door. He didn't want to commit the crime of knocking for nothing in this foreign land.

But even though his fingers were aching from knocking, the guy who had been hiding from him for over a year was still nowhere to be seen. Had he gone to the wrong house, or had Ye Yi given him the wrong address, or… had Guo Zheng Kai pretended not to be home when he saw it was him knocking?

Thinking of the last possibility, Lei Gang felt his hair stand on end. He kicked the door hard, but before he could knock again, he heard fluent English conversation coming from behind.

It would have been better if he hadn't looked. What he saw made Lei Gang so angry that not only was his hair on fire, but his eyes were practically spitting fire!

That damned Guo Zhengkai was strolling over with a blonde beauty, chatting and laughing, and even considerately bending down to wipe her sweat. He'd never been so considerate to her!

[Guo, Zheng, Kai! That bastard!] He rushed forward and threw a punch without warning. Guo Zhengkai only had time to raise his head when Lei Gang shouted, but the fist was already in place, and Lei Gang knocked him to the ground.

"What do you want? Help! There's a robber here!" The shrill scream startled Lei Gang, who instinctively covered his ears. He barely understood what she meant; he didn't look like a robber at all, he was just a heartless man!

"Julie, don't scream, he's my friend!" Guo Zhengkai, who had finally managed to stand up, quickly stopped the terrifying scream, but seeing the police rushing towards them, he could only sigh. This Lei Gang really knew how to cause trouble!

Lei Gang looked on blankly as Guo Zhengkai patiently explained the situation and confirmed his identity. Finally, only after the police understood did he escape being locked up! After all, his fierce appearance was too suggestive...

"How did you know my address?" Politely seeing the beautiful woman out the door, Guo Zhengkai didn't even glance at Lei Gang, but just sat in front of the bar inside, pretending to drink. He simply couldn't meet Lei Gang's overly clear eyes; it was the courage and righteousness in those eyes that had captivated him!

"[Nightwing gave it to me, she told me to come find you...]" Lei Gang didn't know how to start the conversation. On one hand, he suspected Guo Zhengkai's relationship with the blonde beauty, and on the other hand, he felt guilty for the hurt he had caused Guo Zhengkai in the past! "

[She told you to come, so you came? Don't you have a brain? I told you not to show your face in front of me again. We were never friends!]" Guo Zhengkai angrily downed the glass of strong liquor in one gulp. He had thought Guo Zhengkai had come of his own accord, but it turned out that Nightwing had sent him!

"[You... how can you be so stubborn! I'm not Nightwing's dog. Just because she told me to come, does that mean I have to come? I came here of my own free will!]" Originally, he wanted to have a proper talk with Guo Zhengkai, but given Guo's volatile temper, arguing seemed more suitable. However, those few sentences just now sounded like a confession… Lei Gang's face flushed red instantly. A confession, his confession to Guo Zhengkai…

"You mean…" Guo Zhengkai turned around in surprise, only to see Lei Gang's face red, staring at him awkwardly, as if warning him not to laugh.

"It's what you think! Don't ask me again. I've said it once, if you don't understand, that's your problem!" Lei Gang shouted, refusing Guo Zhengkai's further questioning.

"I won't ask anymore, come on, let's have a drink!" Guo Zhengkai felt a surge of joy. Lei Gang seemed to genuinely have some special feelings for him. He wondered how strong these feelings were, whether they could make him abandon his pointless male pride to accept his love? Whether they could make him abandon his family and descendants to be with him fearlessly.

Lei Gang downed several glasses of strong liquor to bolster his courage, looking at Guo Zhengkai's gentle smile. His heart was filled with mixed emotions, unable to articulate what he was thinking. But he loved Guo Zhengkai's smile, and he didn't want anyone else to receive it!

"You're not allowed to smile like that at anyone else!" he said domineeringly, swirling his glass. His words were matter-of-fact, but he dared not look up at Guo Zhengkai's expression. Why? He couldn't explain it, but the words felt a little embarrassing.

Seeing Lei Gang's ears growing increasingly red, Guo Zhengkai smiled even more gently. He was actually shy! This was truly surprising! And shy because of him!

Unable to control his increasingly wide-open mouth, Guo Zhengkai felt he certainly didn't have his usual handsome demeanor, or perhaps he looked ugly with his smile. But his heart swelled, and the growing emotions made him want to hold this lovely person tightly in front of him and whisper a thousand, ten thousand times in his ear: I love you!

"Actions speak louder than words; a lawyer must always seize the moment." Guo Zhengkai pulled Lei Gang close, facing his blushing face, sparkling eyes, and even his hands trembling slightly. Why was this man so adorable?

"I love you! I love you, Lei Gang!" he said sincerely. Guo Zhengkai suddenly realized that these words weren't so heavy or so difficult to say. He just wanted to repeat them over and over again, repeating these intoxicating words…

Upon hearing these words, Lei Gang felt his blood rush to his head. So hot! Just one sentence, and his heart was so moved he felt an urge to cry. Why did this feeling flow so deep within him?

Having eaten and drunk his fill, Lei Gang returned to his usual self. The shyness from before seemed to have completely vanished from him; he was naturally domineering!

[Zhengkai, I want to get a good night's sleep tonight, so you can have your bed! You can sleep on the sofa!]

Looking at the person who spoke so naturally without any remorse, Guo Zhengkai smiled bitterly: [Didn't you used to sleep with me all the time? Besides, the sofa can't fit me, are you scared?]

[Who's scared? What am I scared of?] The sudden panic in his voice made Guo Zhengkai realize that his previous behavior was all an act, just to avoid appearing vulnerable!

[Don't worry, I won't touch you tonight if you don't want to. I'll go sleep next door for the night!] It was easy to say, but in reality, Guo Zhengkai had no confidence at all in the feelings he had revealed. Seeing Lei Gang sleeping so unguarded, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't become a pervert!

[Next door? Who's next door? You're going to stay there?] Guo Zhengkai, who was usually not very close to people, actually had a friend who lived next door. Who was this person?

[It's the girl who was screaming and slapping me today!] "Her name is Julie, it's me..."

"You should stay here tonight, your bed is big, we can sleep together!" He impulsively interrupted Guo Zhengkai. That blonde beauty lived next door, and Guo Zhengkai was going to stay there tonight—what a joke! He absolutely wouldn't let those two have any more opportunities to be intimate. Guo Zhengkai, don't even think about getting my affections while flirting with other women!

Completely oblivious to his own jealousy, Lei Gang pulled the reluctant Guo Zhengkai into the bedroom, and was stunned when he saw the large waterbed!

"This waterbed is exactly the same as your old one, and it was custom-made in Germany? Do you like this kind of bed that much?"

Faced with this idiotic question, Guo Zhengkai just smiled and brushed it off. He just wanted to preserve a little imagination, a little memory. Every time he slept on this bed, he seemed to see Lei Gang complaining about being exhausted and lying on his bed… Back then, he never imagined he would have the chance to see Lei Gang lying on his bed, sleeping beside him!

"Okay, let's sleep!" To prevent Guo Zhengkai from sneaking out to see that Julie, Lei Gang generously invited him, completely forgetting his earlier fears!

"You want me to come to bed?" Guo Zhengkai swallowed hard, watching Lei Gang's seductive gesture as he lay on the bed beckoning him. His long-awaited lover was not only responding but also lying on the bed, casually inviting him to bed. Even a saint would be overcome with desire, right?

Although he knew Lei Gang meant nothing by it, Guo Zhengkai's heart was already set on him. His pride and self-control had long since been exhausted. Lei Gang shouldn't have kept pushing his limits.

The extra weight on the bed told Lei Gang that Guo Zhengkai had come to sleep beside him. Although he didn't know what Guo Zhengkai had been doing for so long, his refusal to go to the next room pleased him, so he didn't press the matter. He closed his eyes, relieved, hoping for a good night's sleep. With Guo Zhengkai beside him, he should sleep soundly…

Just then, a large hand turned his face, startling Lei Gang. He turned around to ask Guo Zhengkai what was going on, but warm lips pressed against his, forcefully prying open his slightly open mouth. A nimble tongue slid in and entangled with Chi Chun's tongue, dancing wildly. The sensitive areas in his mouth were constantly stimulated, and he couldn't swallow more and more saliva, which could only flow from the corners of his mouth. Lei Gang struggled weakly, almost suffocating, and was already in a daze. This was a passionate kiss he had never experienced before. Compared to it, his previous kisses were nothing but childishness. An inescapable fire began to rise from his body and burn into his heart. They kissed again and again, lingering and tender, until he reached out to embrace her, until he sweetly returned the kiss, until... neither of them could endure the stinging pain of oxygen deprivation in their lungs any longer. This kiss, which felt like it had lasted for millions of years, finally came to an end!

"You're absolutely insane..." He barely managed to utter those words before his lips were taken again, this time soft and gentle like a spring breeze, intoxicating and intoxicating. Lei Gang's anger transformed into lust under this kiss. Unable to contain his burgeoning passion, Lei Gang simply pulled Guo Zhengkai's head down, bringing them even closer together to explore each other more deeply!

Guo Zhengkai was overjoyed by Lei Gang's actions, knowing he had tacitly approved of this intimate act. He worked even harder to arouse all the latent desire within Lei Gang, striving to make him lose himself and only moan and enjoy beneath him! Having once been a playboy, he was no match for Lei Gang. Passionate kisses and tender kisses alternated endlessly, sending Lei Gang soaring to the peak only to plummet into the abyss. In the ebb and flow, his mind was already clouded, and he could only cling to Guo Zhengkai as he sank step by step into the abyss of desire…

Passionate hands roamed over his body again and again. Even Lei Gang didn't know that he had so many sensitive spots for Guo Zhengkai to play with. Each slight retreat was met with a more intense and cruel caress than the last. Lei Gang, who had never experienced such things before, was almost about to faint from this unfamiliar lust!

[Wake up, Gang, now comes the main event!]

Looking at Lei Gang, who was already in a daze, seemingly unable to withstand the excessive rhythm, the sheets he was gripping were already torn, and his hands had left deep marks on the bed, with drops of red fluid seeping from his fingers! His lips trembled, emitting weak groans. Perhaps he had shouted loudly earlier, but Guo Zhengkai, whose mind was blank, couldn't hear him at all...

Slowly withdrawing his still-erect erection, afraid of hurting Lei Gang, Guo Zhengkai suppressed the pain of unfulfilled desire, hugged Lei Gang, and kissed him tenderly. His tongue gently slid over Lei Gang's numb lips and then over his own, slowly bringing Lei Gang back to his senses!

In a daze, he heard Guo Zhengkai repeatedly saying sorry. Lei Gang slowly woke up and met the delicate kiss. The desire he felt in his abdomen was still erect, but the hands stroking his body were incredibly gentle, bringing him only comfort!

[Zhengkai, your...]

[Don't worry about him, I had no control, I made you scream until your throat was hoarse...] Hearing the hoarse voice, Guo Zhengkai only wanted to cherish Lei Gang, and didn't care about the still-throbbing desire.

"I'll help you..." He chuckled softly, but his overused throat only produced muffled sounds. Lei Gang reached out and grasped the hard erection between them, kneading and stroking it until Guo Zhengkai let out a satisfied groan. Lei Gang then quickened his pace, urging the ejaculation of his desire!

Finally relieved and returning to its original size, Lei Gang turned away embarrassedly. They had really gone a little crazy that night; he would never have done this for Guo Zhengkai before!

"Gang, did I hurt you?" Long, slender fingers tried to probe into his secret place again, but Lei Gang quickly stopped them: "No, it just hurts a little... I'll be fine after a nap..."

Understanding Lei Gang's nature, Guo Zhengkai didn't want to force him. He hugged his equally sweaty body: "Shall we take a shower first, or go to sleep first..."

Noticing the change in Guo Zhengkai's attitude towards him, the tenderness and affection, Lei Gang blushed again. Was this the difference between lovers and friends? He didn't seem to blush so easily before!

[Rest for a while before showering, I'm tired!]

[Okay, take a nap first, I'll wake you...]

Overly sentimental words or actions wouldn't suit them. Just adding romantic intimacy to the gestures of friends was enough; no need to overdo it, right?

Guo Zhengkai gently kissed Lei Gang's forehead and slowly drifted off to sleep with him...

This time, he should be able to get a good night's sleep, they both thought unconsciously.

Guo Zhengkai gently kissed the sleeping Lei Gang in his arms and picked up the phone to dial: [Is this Ye Yi?] A soft

laugh came from the other end: [Looks like you've tasted the sweetness, your tone is so happy!] [

You understand so well? Thank you for bringing Lei Gang to me. If it weren't for you reminding me, or Gang and I... we might really regret it for the rest of our lives!]

[Then you should thank me handsomely! Seeing you two, who clearly have feelings for each other but stubbornly cling to the status of friends, really makes the onlookers anxious!] If I hadn't intervened, I'm afraid you two would have waited until the end of time before Xu Mu understood each other's feelings!

He could hear the other person smiling, a happy smile. Guo Zhengkai understood Ye Yi's current situation: "You've reached an agreement with him, you've reconciled?" Then it wasn't in vain that he kept his promise and told her everything An Hongjie had done after waking up in Taiwan. Geng Fanchen and Long Wei had calculated everything, but they miscalculated him alone. Blocking all news about An Hongjie from reaching Ye Yi's ears and even calling to ask him to stall Ye Yi—he knew there must be something fishy going on. A quick investigation with his former subordinates revealed everything. Ye Yi's dream of happiness was clearly within reach. He really didn't understand what Geng Fanchen and Long Wei were insisting on.

"I guess so. I'll slowly start dating him again after I've calmed down!" Her girlish tone made Guo Zhengkai shake his head and tease, "You're clearly so confident he won't and won't run away that you dare to manipulate him like this!" Congratulations to us! May all your wishes come true!

[Of course, sometimes happiness depends on someone else giving you a final push! For having you as a good friend in this life… I feel that even if An Hongjie can't come back to me, my life will have been worthwhile!]

[Yes, even Gang will probably have to give way to you as my best friend! Wishing you… happiness!]

He hung up the phone with a laugh, only to see Lei Gang, who should have been fast asleep in his arms, glaring at him with wide eyes. He inwardly groaned: Gang seems very angry about what he just said. Why?

[Who gave you permission to give up your best friend position to Ye Yi, even I have to take a backseat! You and I are the true "best friends" who have weathered over a decade of storms!] "

Even this position is something to fight over, such an unfathomable childish mentality. No wonder Nightwing can manipulate him so easily. I learned about his year-long search for me while investigating An Hongjie, but I couldn't help but have many doubts about whether it was true love or just friendship. Fortunately, Nightwing agreed to help him try. If Lei Gang really fell in love with me, he would give me his address. So when Lei Gang appeared, that feeling in my heart...

I leaned my radiant face on Lei Gang's shoulder, [You are my good friend, but there is a more important place in my heart...]

[What is it?] Bewildered by Guo Zhengkai's sudden happy smile, Lei Gang forgot all about why he was angry earlier. Looking at Guo Zhengkai, who was showering him with kisses, he was inexplicably preoccupied with Guo Zhengkai's unfinished words.

[Of course, it's my beloved "boyfriend"!] He planted a heavy kiss on Lei Gang's cheek, laughing as he hugged him. Happiness was so readily available; his ten years of waiting had been rewarded perfectly…

His best friend! His boyfriend! What more could he ask for in this life…?

"You go in first…" An awkward, gruff voice sounded from outside the door.

"Let's go in together…" A soft laugh followed.

"No, how would I know how those two bastards would laugh at me?" Lei Gang absolutely refused to enter the "Single Aristocracy" club. He'd just finished off those two bastards and left; how would he know how they'd retaliate?

"No, they won't dare touch you! Aren't you afraid of the lawyer's power?" Guo Zhengkai, of course, knew about the feud between the three, but Long Wei and Geng Fanchen seemed to be just teasing Lei Gang, unlikely to cause any real harm. Besides, he'd won his lover's heart thanks to their main help; how could he not be there to thank them?

"You make it sound so easy. These days, people aren't afraid of the police anymore, but they're afraid of lawyers?" Lei Gang sighed repeatedly at the current social climate. Even the underworld wasn't afraid of the police anymore! They even dared to retaliate against them!

"Alright, stop looking like you're on your way to the guillotine. Long Wei's out to arrest someone!" Guo Zhengkai nudged Lei Gang, who looked up from his dejected state and indeed saw Long Wei walking out side by side with a handsome man with a refined air. However, Long Wei's face lacked his usual mocking grin; instead, it wore a slightly silly, shy smile. Guo Zhengkai and Lei Gang were practically staring in disbelief—they never expected this kid to have such a smile!

Lei Gang suddenly remembered that at the "Singles' Club," when he was kicked out to find Guo Zhengkai, this man was among the crowd celebrating with him. It seemed this was the one who had caused Long Wei's transformation.

Seeing the two standing outside the door, Long Wei's expression changed again, returning to its usual demeanor. "Hui, I have guests, I won't see you off! We brothers will celebrate together after you take office!"

So, they were brothers! No wonder!

Just then, Geng Fanchen rushed out again. "Hui, wait for me, I have something to discuss with you tonight!" "Why did you get involved with the American people...?"

Unexpectedly, this refined man wasn't simple either. Lei Gang muttered, "Are all gangsters this handsome these days? No wonder our police can never win!"

[Don't overthink it. Judging from that man's demeanor, he shouldn't be from the underworld. Didn't Long Wei just say he wanted to take the job?] Guo Zhengkai was genuinely afraid Lei Gang would suddenly have a policeman's fit and lock everyone up in the station for questioning.

[Do you really think I'm that stupid? I always rely on evidence!] Lei Gang shouted loudly, but unfortunately, someone laughed without giving him any face.

[Why don't I remember you being this calm when you locked me up?] An Hongjie and Ye Yi also came out for some reason. Seeing the two inseparable, Guo Zhengkai gave a charming smile. Ye Yi returned the smile, his eyes subtly sweeping over Guo Zhengkai and Lei Gang standing side by side, as if to say, "Aren't you the same?"

[What do you want?] "Flirting with Nightwing?" Upon hearing this, Long Wei and Geng Fanchen almost collapsed to the ground. Lei Gang's change of heart was too rapid! After just one trip to England, he acted as if he owned Guo Zhengkai, even getting jealous of his spiritual connection with Nightwing.

Under their pitying gazes, Guo Zhengkai glared back. "This is what I want! Is that not allowed?"

he thought, while reassuring Lei Gang, "I didn't flirt with her. Don't forget, I love you!"

Amidst the laughter, Lei Gang's face flushed crimson. Ever since Guo Zhengkai uttered his first "I love you," it was as if he wanted to make up for the past ten years, seizing every opportunity to confess his love, regardless of who was around. He truly regretted scolding Guo Zhengkai for not daring to say those three words.

Despite his words, the radiant happiness on Lei Gang's face was the envy of everyone present!

It truly proved the saying: Fools sometimes have good fortune!
