“You… You don’t belong here, right?” Sheng Ya looked at Zhang Fei and exclaimed.
“Hmm, I’ve no idea.” Zhang Fei was deep in thought after replying.
Liang Yu seemed to carry a pair of earphones everywhere he went. Decked in a black suit and shiny leather shoes, he looked exactly like that day when he sent Bai Wu to the Central Science Park. Xu Lan recognized him immediately.
“Where’s Bai Wu? Qin Lao has been nagging us to find both of you!” Liang Yu said as he yanked on Xu Lan’s arm, steering him toward the hospital.
“Oi! What are you doing! Do you think your behavior is appropriate in a civilized society like ours?” Even though Liang Yu seemed scrawny, Xu Lan found it hard to free himself from his grip.
“Why are you here at the hospital? Where’s Bai Wu?” Liang Yu glanced at Xu Lan and sneered at his bad taste.
“How would I know? I’m here for my wife. Speaking of which, I need to hurry home and cook her some porridge. Don’t even talk to me about Bai Wu! He’s the reason why I was drawn into the void. Ever since I was attacked, I’ve been in a weakened state,” Xu Lan spoke as he gestured at his arm under Liang Yu’s grip.
Xu Lan acquired the skill of bluffing from his days spent as a policeman. Liang Yu looked at Xu Lan in suspicion before turning to look at Zhang Fei.
“He’s here for his wife?”
Zhang Fei was stunned at first, he gaped in surprise. Xu Lan glared at him, ready to pounce if Zhang Fei so much as uttered a wrong syllable.
“Yes! We’re here for his wife,” Sheng Ya tapped on Zhang Fei’s hand before stepping forward to reply.
“Uh huh, yes,” Zhang Fei lowered his head and replied. As Bai Wu and Xu Lan were dating, their explanation was, to a certain extent, true.
“Xu Lan, Uncle… When are we going for a meal? I’m starving and sleepy,” Fang Lingzi took Sheng Ya’s hint and started whining.
“Uh huh, we’re starving,” said the businessman after getting pinched by Fang Lingzi. Everyone chimed in and urged Xu Lan to head out for a meal.
“Heh, young man, I still have to bring them for a meal. Shall we chat again another day?” Xu Lan wrenched his arm free from Liang Yu’s hand. ‘Darn it, it’s definitely going to bruise,’ Xu Lan thought.
Liang Yu looked up at the depressing sky before turning to look at Xu Lan, “What a coincidence, I’m planning to have my meal too. Let’s have a meal together, my treat.”
“This…” Xu Lan wanted to reject Liang Yu’s offer. He decided to keep his mouth shut after seeing Liang Yu’s determined gaze. He knew that the more he said, the likelier it was for him to give away himself.
Since Liang Yu wanted to treat all of them to a meal, Xu Lan decided to make use of the opportunity. He brought the entire group to the grand Whitehorse Hotel and ordered almost everything that was on the menu.
“Everyone! It’s been a stressful few days, enjoy the meal! Don’t hold back and eat all you can! We can always order more if there isn’t enough.” Even though Xu Lan was addressing everyone, the only person he was staring at was Liang Yu.
Liang Yu rested his clenched fists on his thighs. Despite that his veins were almost popping, the smile on his face did not fade.
“Why are you here?” If his memory served him right, Xu Lan was certain that Liang Yu did not belong in this world. He went through a torturous time trying to travel through the void.
“Qin Lao was invited to head over in order to provide technical assistance on a case. I followed him.”
“Which case is this? Isn’t Qin Lao in Biotechnology?” Xu Lan had a few drinks with everyone and waited until the right time to ask.
“928.”
