ã€ŠRebirth of Chen Anã€‹


 Chapter 1

    Chapter 1: An utterly terrible rebirth

    Since he failed to kill himself the first time, trying again a second time would be an act of utmost stupidity.

    At the least to Chen Zhang An, he would not aim a gun to deliver a bullet to his temple again.

    Since he didn¡¯t die, he should live well. The only thing is that to him, his current situation is not much better than if he had indeed died and gone to hell.

    Standing in front of the mirror in the hospital toilet dressed in arge white gown, Chen Zhang An gripped the washstand tightly with both hands as he screwed his eyes shut. Though he had never thought that such as situation of rebirth, travelling through time and/or space or some other supernatural possibilities would ever happen to him, but why must he be reborn in such a person?

    Reigning in his murderous impulse, Chen Zhang An slowly opened his eyes to gaze attentively at the reflection in the mirror.

    A 160 kilogram fatty fit to be Pigsy* who can walk on his hind legs!

    Under the leadership of his two central incisors, this upper teeth look ready to strike out and break into enemy lines in a war zone.

    If he were to lose the sses pressing on his nose right now, he would not be able to differentiate between humans and animals beyond 5 meters.

    ¡®Fuck.¡¯

    Chen Zhang An is not a man who like to swear but right now, it is the only word that can describe his terrible mood. He looked at his foreign reflection in the mirror and couldn¡¯t help butugh bitterly.

    Is this his punishment from god?

    ''Uncle, Uncle Chen, are you alright?¡¯ A bespectacled youth hurriedly ran in from outside, his clean and fair face still bearing 5 faint fingerprints.

    Chen Zhang An cast a nce at the youth beside him. Those pure ck eyes filled with concern suddenly reminded him of his younger brother. Just like a piece of white paper, like a pool of clear spring water, so clean that he didn¡¯t dare toe close.

    ''Uncle Chen, the Doctor ordered that you stay in bed. You should be resting.¡¯

    The seemingly slightly bookish youth helped Chen Zhang An slowly back to his ward.

    After settling back in his hospital bed, Chen Zhang An nced around his somewhat shabby room. There was neither television nor a fridge. With 3 people crammed into the small room, he almost forgot how an ordinary hospital ward looked like.

    The pungent smell from the IV fluid caused disgust to curl up in Chen Zhang An. He cast a look to his side towards the youth pouring him a ss of water and peeling an apple.

    Sensing the gaze thrown at himself, the youth swiftly passed a peeled and sliced apple over while consoling Zhang An. ''Uncle, you can rebuild your house and earn back the money that you have lost. You are only in your thirties, you still have plenty of opportunities in the future. After all, the American Colonel Sanders was only able to seed with KFC when he was already 66 years old. Our fellow Chinese man, Shi Yu Zhu* was able to pick himself up and soar after going bankrupt. Uncle, you can definitely stage aeback in the future.¡¯

    As he listened to the youth¡¯s rambling, Chen Zhang An slowly shut his eyes. He needed to get his thoughts in order.

    His current identity is a bankrupt man whose business had failed. He couldn¡¯t take the blow and hence attempted suicide. They share the same surname and even simr given names, with the exception of the word ''Zhang¡¯ in the middle.

    Chen An, 32 years old, is indeed young.

    Eliminating the horrifying obese, nearsighted and bucktooth appearance, 32 is indeed the prime age of a man. Besides, when he offed himself, as Chen Zhang An, he was already in his forties.

    Chen Zhang Anforted himself silently. Everything everything, he could reluctantly consider himself to have received the longer end of the stick.

    ''What is your name?¡¯, Chen An asked. Though his looks are somewhat rough, he had a masculine voice that was pleasing to the ear.

    The youth nearly choked on the apple he was eating. Starring with widened eyes at the man lying on the bed, he anxiously yelled, ''Uncle, I¡¯m Chen Yang! Don¡¯t you remember?¡¯

    *Pigsy: Is a character in the ssic novel ''Journey to the West. He looks like a mix between a man and a pig and is notorious for his gluttonous nature and lust for pretty babes.

    **Shi Yu Zhu is a Chinese entrepreneur, software engineer and billionaire .

 Chapter 2

    Chapter 2: Discharge

    Chen Yang is Chen An¡¯s nephew. Last year, he enrolled in a university in Shanghai. Chen An has always been doing business in Shanghai and had some savings so he didn¡¯t mind keeping a look out for his nephew.

    There was a reason why a man who is already in his thirties but had not yet settled down or even had a single girlfriend. Chen An is a homosexual and like men.

    Before, he had an affair with a younger man. However, in the end the young man partnered with outsiders to swindle him. Hispany folded and his vi was seized. Losing his career and falling out of love, Chen An chose to slit his wrist to end his life. Luckily his nephew Chen Yang discovered him in the nick of time to send him to the hospital.

    But though he was able to keep his life, he lost his memories.

    Chen Yang felt that that was not a bad thing. Forgetting all the unhappiness in the past meant that he can live a better life. What he didn¡¯t know however, was that his Uncle Chen An had be another person.

    Chen An truly could not stand the smell of the IV fluid in the hospital. Since he has recovered, there is no reason he could not be discharge.

    With Chen Yang¡¯s help in handling the discharge procedures, Chen An and his ¡®nephew¡¯ left the hospital. The moment he stepped out of the hospital, warm rays of sunlight shone down his head. It felt so good that Chen An could not resist smiling.

    Silently he mocked himself. The sun on the ind is far more beautiful than the one in Shanghai but as a free person, even with the subpar air, it can still make one feel great.

    ''Uncle Chen, for the time being you should stay with me. My house is not big so you would have to bear with it a little. The hospitals in Shanghai have good reputations so you should see a doctor here regarding your amnesia. Once it has been treated, I will send you back to your hometown where you can rest.¡¯

    Chen Yang is very tall. A casual estimate would put him at 1.85 meters tall at the very least. On his nose rest a pair of ck framed spectacles and on his body, a simple T-shirt and jeans. One can tell that he is an university student with just one look.

    Though his hair is barely styled, but based on Chen An¡¯s experience of observing countless people, this kid is fairly good-looking. How is it then, for definitely blood-rted rtives, could he himself look like this?

    Chen An wore a face mask. Though he had only just left the hospital, he is already making ns to return to get his ugly teeth fixed.

    If he has to live as this identity and as this person for the rest of his life, then everything would have to be ording to his intentions. The influential and elite Master Chen could not tolerate living with this ugly appearance.

    In the past, in all his dealings and meetings with warlords and arm dealers, Chen Zhang An had always stood out from the crowd. This man is used to cleaning up his appearance and had a presence of refined elegance. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t be tossed on to the bed by the bastard he brought up.

    Just thinking about the filthy desires the bastard he raised for 10 years had towards him, Chen Zhang An couldn¡¯t help gnashing his teeth in anger.

    ''That looks so spectacr. Are they filming a movie?¡¯ Chen Yang suddenly remarked.

    Standing by the road beside Chen Yang for a taxi, Chen An snapped out of his thoughts. Following Chen Yang¡¯s line of sight, he saw a chain of more than a dozen ck limousines passing by in front of them.

    Chen An narrowed his eyes. These cars and their license tes look very familiar. Aren¡¯t they the cars he had in Shanghai? The only times he would use these cars was when he returned to Shanghai or had important events to deal with.

    It was then a taxi arrived. Just as Chen Yang made a move to approach the car, a man decided to cut in line and pulled on the car door to enter.

    ''Hey! We were here first. You can¡¯t just jump the queue!¡¯, Chen Yang quickly grabbed the man.

    ''Move aside! Why are you pulling on me for?¡¯ That man yelled a few words and pped Chen Yang¡¯s hand away. Just as he was about to enter the car, he felt a tug on the back of his cor.

    Before he could respond, he was hauled down to the ground.

    ''What are you waiting for? Get in the car!¡¯ Chen An stuffed Chen Yang into the cab before going in. The man on the floor scrambled up to rush towards them only to fall back down again from a ruthless kick from Chen An.

    ''Follow the cars ahead¡¯. The moment the door was closed, Chen An coldly intoned as though nothing had urred.

    Chen Yang waspletely stunned. ''Uncle, you were so amazing just now.¡¯

    Chen An threw a light nce at the silly kid beside him. ''You have a lot to learn.¡¯

 Chapter 3

    Chapter 3: The Cemetery

    The taxi stopped outside a cemetery. Chen An immediately alighted the car, leaving Chen yang to scramble behind him. ¡®Uncle, wait for me!¡¯

    ''Hey hey! Young man, pay up!¡¯ The cab driver yelled anxiously at Chen Yang.

    By the time Chen Yang paid the cab driver, he had lost sight of Chen Anpletely. Shit, his uncle wouldn¡¯t havee here to attempt suicide again, would he?

    Immediately Chen Yang started searching the cemetery frantically. Fortunately, Chen An¡¯s body size and face mask made him a conspicuous figure. He was soon able to find the man under a tree.

    ''Uncle, let¡¯s go back. You just left a hospital. It is not good [in the non-auspicious sense] toe to such a ce. ¡¯ Chen Yang pulled on the man¡¯s arm but Chen An wouldn¡¯t budge an inch.

    ''Uncle, what are you looking at?¡¯ Observing Chen An¡¯s fixed scrutiny, Chen Yang followed his gaze.

    In the near distance, a group of men dressed in ck suits stood solemnly round the side of a grave. Standing mong them in the front, was an upright man wearing sunsses with his hair slicked back. In his hands he held a cremation urn.

    No matter how one look at it, it looks like the funeral of a mafia boss in the movies. Instinctively, Chen Yang knew that these men were not to be trifled with. He gently tugged on Chen An¡¯s sleeve. ''Uncle, let¡¯s go back home.¡¯

    ''Home?¡¯ Chen Anughed coldly. His home should be in that grave plot just nearby. No wait, it would be more urate to say that it should be in that urn.

    As though he sensed something, the man holding the urn turned his head to face Chen An¡¯s direction. Behind his sunsses, he could only see the back view of one thin figure and one fat figure.

    Feeling the sharp look digging into his back like knives, Chen An smiled a light taunting smile. Even if he were to appear right in front of Lu Feng, that bastard definitely will not be able to recognize him.

    After catching a cab from the cemetery, Chen An closed his eyes. He felt absolutely nothing when he saw the urn containing his ashes. How utterly ironic.

    A few ck cars passed their side to stop at the cemetery, blocking their road. Chen An opened his eyes to look out the window when he heard the cab driver grumbling.

    A stretched limousine stopped not too faraway from them. A few tall and burly-looking bodyguards stood in an ordered formation as another bodyguard carrying a ck umbre pulled open the limousine door. From the car stepped out man with natural charisma and short blonde hair that shone in the sun.

    ''Wow, why are there so many people dress so formally today? There is even a foreigner.¡¯ Chen Yang pondered as he looked on with a face of curiosity.

    Chen An narrowed his eyes. The cab started and drove further and further away from the cemetery. He nced at the blonde entering the cemetery before slowly turning back.

    He did not expect Ivanov toe. While they could be considered ''old friends¡¯, but to be urate, it would be with Ivanov¡¯s father.

    When the Soviet Union copsed in 1991, Chen An who had just started out in firearms dealing, partnered with Ivanov¡¯s father to shipped outrge batches of arms from the dissolute USSR. Back then, Ivanov was just a little brat who liked to demand chocte from him.

    Then in 2007, Chen Zhang An met a strongpetitor in the international scene. As it turns out, this fellow was once the kid who used to pester him, calling him ''Uncle Chen¡¯, Ivanov.

    In the past few years, Ivanov and him have became each other¡¯s biggestpetitor. Of course they would asionally joined hands to deal with otherpetitors but more often than not, they arepeting against each other in antagonism.

    Chen An never would have thought that Ivanov woulde personally. Why would hee for? To sweep his tomb?

    Or to celebrate the death of hispetitor?

    If Ivanov is rejoicing, then Chen An imagined that fellow would not be happy for long.

    Chen An smiled coldly. Since he is still alive, his return is inevitable.

 Chapter 4

    Chapter 4: Going home

    ¡®Uncle, you will have to squeeze with me for the time being.¡¯ Chen Yang scratched his head in embarrassment, his chuckling manner revealing a touch of simple naivet¨¦.

    Chen Yang carried his luggage into an old apartment building. Following behind, Chen An eyed the stair railings that had already rusted over. This building clearly had at least 2 decades worth of history.

    When they reached the fourth floor, Chen Yang took out a key to open the door. The security gates released an ear-piercing tter to disy a very tiny but clean apartment before Chen An.

    Taking a sweeping look around the apartment, the ce was no bigger than the bathroom he had in Manhattan.

    There was only one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one toilet in the apartment. Chen Yang usually lived alone. His bedroom was just big enough to put in only one bed. There was also a bookshelf and a desk that waspletely covered with books as well as a wardrobe where clothes were hung neatly.

    ''Uncle, I have to go to ss now. Here is the apartment key. There is food in the fridge and if you feel bored, you can take a stroll outside. I¡¯ll be back in the afternoon to prepare lunch for you.¡¯

    After putting the luggage aside and checking his watch, Chen Yang helped Chen An settle in before tearing out the door to head to school.

    Chen An took a turn around the t. The ce was clean and simple, without even a cigarette butt let along half a cigarette.

    He walked towards the window to see Chen Yang heading towards the nearby university in quick strides. Towards this ''nephew¡¯, Chen An did not have much thoughts about him. Though he may seem a little silly, this young man certainly has filial piety.

    Chen An sat down on the sofa in the living room and casually switched on the televsion set that probably came from some flea market. Currently, there was a melodramatic romance idol drama being screened.

    Having lostplete interest in mere seconds, Chen An stood up and went into Chen Yang¡¯s bedroom. At the head of the bed, the kid left hisptop.

    He walked towards the bed and opened theptop. Fortunately, there was no password set.

    He searched for ''Chen Zhang An¡¯ on the Inte and received entirely irrelevant results. As expected, there was absolutely no news of his death to be found.

    Closing his eyes and taking a few deep breathes, Chen Zhang An rapidly calcted his next steps. Since he received a second chance at life, he would not consider dying again.

    Lu Feng ¨C

    He chuckled softly. He will make sure that this traitor pay the price.

    Earlier, he didn¡¯t get a chance to take a proper shower in the hospital. Chen An stood at the entrance of the tiny bathroom that could barely contain more than two individuals and screwed his eyes shut.

    Though he disliked it immensely, he had no other options where he could take a bath.

    The process of bathing however, was equally as repulsive to Chen An. In particr, when he had to use his hands to scrub that fatty streaked pork body of his. How he wish he could just take a knife and slice himself. This is no different from bathing an actual pig.

    When he was done showering, Chen An wrapped a towel around himself and opened the luggage. The ''Chen An¡¯ of the past probably had a little money. He had some branded clothes but unfortunately, every single piece was fancy to the point that they came off as somewhat gaudy.

    Once he found a simple and clean outfit to wear, Chen An once again returned to the bedroom to search on theptop. He reckoned that the majority of his funds had long since came under the control of Lu Feng that bastard. But for a wily old fox like Chen An, how could he not leave an escape route for himself?

    Since he could find himself a gun to end himself even under Lu Feng¡¯s imprisonment, he can also find himself some money in this terrible situation.

    ''Found it.¡¯

    A pair of phoenix eyes framed with b glinted. However, in less than a moment his smile stiffened.

    There wasn¡¯t a problem with the funds. Rather, he froze because he couldn¡¯t avoid catching sight of his pig-like reflection on the screen of theptop.

    The first step to regaining his throne as a firearms crime lord: Lose weight!

 Chapter 5

    Chapter 5: Love rival andpetitor (1)

    The whole world is like a pyramid. The people at the bottom of the pyramid are akin to worker ants who have to slog while the people at the top of the pyramid are like gods, looking down at the pitiful ordinary folks who have to struggle to make their own fortunes.

    With a cigar sped between two fingers, Ivanov took a deep inhale before he blew out a mouthful of smoke steadily. The translucent smoke broke apart and dissipated quickly against the window pane of the hotel.

    A single hand in his pant pocket, this man with the distinctive looks of an Eastern European stood at the topmost floor of a hotel in The Bund*, Shanghai. His icy pale azure eyes quietly took in the extravagant and modern night view.

    Regardless of whether you are at the top or at the bottom of the pyramid, it is ultimately difficult to escape death. The only problem is however, Chen Zhang An¡¯s death was too sudden.

    With eyes blue like the icy artic floor, Ivanov¡¯s pale golden hair shone with a cold metallic luster in the light of the dying sun. In this ce that is Chen Zhang An¡¯s hometown, he couldn¡¯t help but reminisce about their past.

    When he first met Chen Zhang An, he was just a kid who was barely ten; still wearing stockings, leather shoes and suspender pants.

    When the USSR fell, there was arge number of arms traffickers in the Ukraine. Among them was a Chinese man named Chen Zhang An.

    The young Ivanov then would sit on the rug in this house and y with his toy guns. asionally, he would sneak a peek in the direction where a raven-hair man was having a business meeting with his father.

    The Chen Zhang An from more than two decades ago was a young, virile and vigorous man. With jade-adorned fingers, he would roll his cigar, releasing a soft rustling sound. That sound was like millions of ants crawling on Ivanov¡¯s chest, a sensation both tingling and numbing.

    The man who was rumored to be of fallen nobility, likes smoking a cigar with ephemeral white smoke pouring slowly from his mouth. His pair of onyx eyes glinting with blood-red light resembles those of the devil Ivanov sees in his dreams.

    It was from that moment that Ivanov knew that this man named Chen Zhang An was a devil, one that can seduce people into his bidding.

    ¡®About Chen Zhang An, you have my deepest condolences.¡¯

    Upon hearing footsteps stopping a short distance from him, Ivanov turned to face the gloomy and cold man standing hidden in the shadows - Lu Feng.

    ''You are not worthy to speak his name.¡¯ His hard chilly voice sounded like metal covered in ice and snow during winter. This man is exactly like his name, be it the way he speaks or the way he acts - like the cutting edge of a de, its sharpness is intimidating.**

    An overtly sharp knife could be used to kill enemies, but carelessness could also mean hurting oneself.

    He is curious to know: When Chen Zhang An first raised Lu Feng the lunatic, did he ever imagine there would be a day when he would be wounded by the very weapon he groomed?

    ''Now this is interesting. You certainly sound like you respect him.¡¯ As Ivanov smoked his cigar, his pale blue eyes held a tauntingugh as he looked at Chen Zhang An¡¯s sessor.

    In the early days when he first knew Chen Zhang An, there was a man named Chen Zhang Le beside him. That was Chen Zhang An¡¯s younger brother, a beautiful man who seemed elegant, pure and gentle.

    Such a pure and soft-hearted man was not suitable to dabble in the trade of arms dealing. Twenty years ago, Ivanov thought that for such a man to follow Chen Zhang An willingly, was because they were brothers.

    But when Ivanov had his first woman, when he passed the springs of his youth, he knew then that the gaze Chen Zhang Le had for Chen Zhang An from the start to the end was not one of merely worship and trust but also of deep infatuation.

    He disliked Chen Zhang Le because Chen Zhang An always treated him very well.

    10 years ago, Chen Zhang Le took a bullet for his brother and died. It was also then that the person beside Chen Zhang An became this fellow named Lu Feng.

    Compared to Chen Zhang Le, Ivanov disliked Lu Feng even more.

 Chapter 6

    Chapter 6: Love rival andpetitor (2)

    In Ivanov¡¯s opinion, Lu Feng is just a patient suffering from a severe case of Stockholm Syndrome.

    Lu Feng was a child Chen An picked up in an incident back in Africa. Back then, both of Lu Feng¡¯s parents had passed away during an African tribe conflict.

    However, the person who sold firearms to those tribes was Chen Zhang An. It was those very firearms that took the lives of Lu Feng¡¯s parents but yet, ultimately, Lu Feng still left with Chen Zhang An.

    Ivanov didn¡¯t know why Chen Zhang An chose to take Lu Feng with him back then. Perhaps it was because he had just lost his younger brother in that conflict and Lu Feng had a passing resemnce to his brother in his childhood.

    The first time Ivanov met Lu Feng was during an internal arms dealing assembly.

    Then, Chen Zhang An had justpleted a year of recuperation from his injuries at home. With his reappearance, he was apanied by a boy, who looked just a little over ten and slightly malnourished. That boy was like a loyal dog by Chen Zhang An¡¯s side, head bowed andpletely silent.

    No one paid particr attention to the young Lu Feng until the moment a man spoke out of turn to Chen Zhang An. The youth whipped out a gun and shot a bullet into that man¡¯s head. The young Lu Feng then had only been by Chen Zhang An¡¯s side for merely a year.

    There was no rage, no vengeance but only absolute loyalty and a hidden madness. And it was precisely this unwavering loyalty and madness that allowed him to be Chen Zhang An¡¯s appointed sessor.

    ¡®Back then in Africa, although Chen Zhang An came back alive, it was not without gunshot wounds. For the past few years, he had been gradually handing the ropes of his businesses to you. That implies, that due to his health, passing down his position to you was just a matter of time.¡°

    With seemingly ordinary words, Ivanov blew a mouthful of white smoke at Lu Feng¡¯s direction and coldly taunted, ''What reason could you have to usurp his ce in such a hurry?¡¯

    ''This has nothing to do with you, Ivanov.¡¯ The man¡¯s face was void of expression, as cold as a robot.

    ''Is he really dead? Is Chen Zhang An, that man who is as wily as an old fox, really dead?¡± Ivanov gaze bored into Lu Feng as though he wanted to cut his chest open and take a look inside to see if the man spoke lies or truths. ''Or have you hidden him away?¡¯

    As Ivanov pressed him for answers, Lu Feng¡¯s eyes grew chiller. ''You and I have nothing to talk about.¡¯

    The bodyguards behind Lu Feng poised as though to whip their guns out. Ivanov snorted. He gently waved a finger bearing a pigeon blood ruby ring.

    ¡°Rx. You should know that if I were to die here, it won¡¯t be any good news for you.¡¯

    Acting as though he gained information that he wanted, Ivanov smoked his cigar as he crossed the distance leisurely towards Lu Feng.

    He paused at the moment he passed Lu Feng. Looking at the man¡¯s chiseled profile that seem to be carved <s>by</s> des, Ivanov smiled thinly and added with a tone of calm assuredness, "You can¡¯t bear to kill Chen Zhang An.¡¯

    Without a second look at Lu Feng, Ivanov left the darkened room inrge strides. He could sense the dagger-like gaze Lu Feng threw at his back.

    Ivanov couldn¡¯t help a mocking smirk. Had he hit the mark on its head?

    Ah Chen Zhang An. Where are you, you wily old fox? If I knew how easy you were to tackle before, I would have found an opportunity to top you right from the beginning.

    Blowing out a mouthful of smoke steadily, Ivanov threw his remaining cigar to the ground and grinded it under his shoe. The flickering embers died down quietly.

 Chapter 7

    Chapter 7: The raving mad traitor

    The world¡¯s most callous and cruel man must be named Chen Zhang An.

    The way to deliver the most brutal punishment to a person is to destroy their most precious happiness.

    Of course Chen Zhang An knew what Lu Feng held most dear, he also knew that killing Lu Feng personally would not be the most painful punishment he could met out to this traitor. Thus, he chose to end his own life with his own two hands, right in front of Lu Feng.

    Night after night, Chen Zhang An will appear in his mind, sprawlingzily on the sun deck, waving his hand at him.

    He thought that this man had finallye to ept him, but behind that warm smile hid the greatest cruelty.

    Between heaven and hell, there truly is only a thin line.

    In the darkness of a room, a soothing and beautiful nocturne yed. An ethereal contralto apanied by a cello, crooned from a jukebox, both melodious and elegant.

    A moonbeam shone through the window of the room. Under the moonlight, a solemn man dressed in a ck suit yed a piano with clean and slender hands.

    Lu Feng closed his eyes as though to immerse himself in the music. This is Chen Zhang An¡¯s favorite piano piece. From the very first day he started following that man, he had never stopped practicing - simply because it was Chen Zhang An¡¯s favorite music.

    ¡®We will be together forever.¡¯

    He slowly opened his dark bottomless eyes. He turned his gaze to a rocking chair inside the house. It was empty, but as the man looked at it, he started smiling.

    It was the chair the Chen Zhang An sat in the most often. That man haven¡¯t left him; he had been sitting there throughout, his eyes closed, listening to him y quietly.

    ''Zhang An, did it sound nice?¡¯ Lu Feng spoke to himself as he started humming.

    He stood up from the piano, the singing from the jukebox still drifting around the dark room. As a cold wind swept in through the window, more threads of moonlight filtered into the room, lighting up a portion of a wall in the room.

    On that lighted portion hung several portrait paintings.

    On one of the paintings was a man sitting on a rocking a chair, a hand holding a cigar and the other a ss of wine. His lidded eyes seem heavy with thought.

    The painting beside it showed a man lying on arge ck bed without a shred of clothing on. His brow was lightly furrowed as though his sleep was uneasy. His pale body, littered with red marks from lovemaking, was wrapped in a nest of ck satin sheets.

    Portrait after portrait, the room was covered entirely in paintings. Each painting held the same face.

    The man in the painting could be a king overlooking a crowd with a contemptuous gaze; he could be a chained wounded beast posing in a humiliating yet erotic disy; or he could be observing viewers outside the painting with remote and indifferent eyes.

    Without any exception, all of them was of a man named Chen Zhang An.

    ''Zhang An¡­ ¡­¡¯

    Chanting the man¡¯s name like a sleep talker, Lu Fengughed in a craze. He rather Chen Zhang An killed him with his bare hands than to live in this unbearable reality.

    ''You aren¡¯t dead, you can¡¯t be dead, you definitely can¡¯t dead.¡¯

    As though he was murmuring a curse, Lu Feng gently caressed the face of the man in the portrait. When he closed his eyes, it felt like that man was still by his side watching him.

 Chapter 8

    Chapter 8: Uncle and Nephew

    As he sat in front of theputer, Chen An could feel someone calling his name over and over again. It felt like a hallucination but real at the same time. He lifted his head to yell at the busy youth in the kitchen.

    ¡®Chen Yang, were you just shouting for me?¡¯

    ''Huh? Uncle, is something the matter?¡¯

    With a te of steaming hot vegetables in hand and an apron tied around his waist, Chen Yang hurriedly dished up a te of fish before wiping his hands on his apron. He cast an uncertain look at Chen An.

    ''Its nothing. Carry on.¡¯

    Chen An shifted his gaze back to theputer screen. Looks like he really is hearing things.

    ''Uncle, please get ready. We can start eating very soon.¡¯

    Chen Yang turned and hastily ran back into the kitchen again.

    In a matter of moments, they were ready to begin their meal as Chen Yangid out the bowls and chopsticks in neat order. The table was covered in piping hot dishes; there was fish, prawns, vegetables; a veritable visual feast. Now only the taste is still in question.

    Having only hospital food for the past several days, Chen An made a quick move to pick some food with his chopsticks only to see Chen Yang peeling the shell off a shrimp to put in his bowl. For someone who is clearly in his youth, he is such a mother hen.

    ''Uncle, you were just released from the hospital and your body is still weak. You should eat more seafood for nourishment.¡¯

    Chen An picked up the de-shelled shrimp with his chopsticks and ate it without hesitation. Huh, the taste is actually pretty good.

    ''I didn¡¯t expect you to be so good in the kitchen.¡¯ Chen An nodded his head in satisfaction. When he finished his shrimp, Chen Yang started deshelling him a second.

    Receiving praise from his uncle, Chen Yang¡¯s smile was as radiant as a sun in spring. Recalling Chen An¡¯s amnesia, he borated, ''When I was young, dad was busy with work all the time so he didn¡¯t have much time to spent with me. I learnt to cook myself.¡¯

    ''Here uncle, have some more.¡¯ Chen Yang proceeded to add several pieces of fish into Chen An¡¯s bowl.

    Though this kid seem a little foolish and silly, he is a goodd. He knows how to cook and clean and is even a top student in school. Appearance-wise, he had a clean-cut handsome look that reminded Chen An of his younger brother.

    After dinner, Chen An took theptop to the sofa and started typing at the keys. While he read his emails, he will periodically nce at Chen Yang who was busy cleaning up in the kitchen.

    Just a moment ago, he investigated ''Chen An¡¯ and Chen Yang¡¯s identities.

    Chen Yang¡¯s father had a total of five siblings and among them, Chen An is the youngest. This family was nothing special - just ordinary civilians living in a small city.

    Chen An was a poor student in his youth. Later, he chose to go to Shanghai to carve out a career and would only return home during the holidays. He thus barely had any interactions with his nephew Chen Yang. It was only when Chen Yang decided to study in Shanghai did they then had opportunities to meet and Chen An could buy a few things for his nephew.

    As for Chen Yang, he is the only child in the family who was able to enter university. A handsome youth who had always been sensible for his age, it was a pity that his mother abandoned him when he was just a small child to run away with another man.

    Now, Chen Yang even have a girlfriend. They recently got together this semester and have reached the stage of holding hands.

    Ah, how innocent.

    Chen An spent a little time looking through Chen Yang¡¯s information. He then turned back at the youth who was hard at work wiping the table before lifting a ss beside him to take a drink and said, ''Chen Yang, I won¡¯t be home for lunch tomorrow.¡¯

    Chen Yang paused. ''Where are you going, uncle?¡¯

    ''To look for a job.¡¯ Chen An pressed a key and watched as the figure in his bank ount rose rapidly in a continuous manner.

    ''Uncle, you were just released from the hospital. You should rest for a few days; you can always look for a job when your health is better.¡¯ Chen Yang instantly hurried over, his demeanour one of concern and worry.

    ''Staying at home is too boring. What if I get sick from being too bored? I just found a job online. Its an easy job so I n to take a look tomorrow.¡¯ Chen An smiled as he gently lifted Chen Yang¡¯s jaw with a hand. His phoenix eyes held a smile as he said, ''So its settled then.¡¯

    When Chan An shut down theptop and entered the bedroom, Chen Yang was still frozen at his spot. As he gently touched where Chen An held him at his jaw, he had a sudden realization that his uncle¡¯s eyes were actually really nice to look at.

    ''Uncle?¡¯ Chen Yang approached the bedroom door to open it only to realized that it was locked from the inside.

    ''I¡¯m sleeping inside. You can take the living room. Young people should be more considerate towards sick patients.¡¯ Chen An opened the door and stuffed a pillow and nket into Chen Yang¡¯s arms. Having spoke his piece, he once again shut the door.

    If you sleep on your side on the couch, you can still get a good rest. Chen An stretched himself once he locked the bedroom door again. However, he didn¡¯t return immediately back to bed but instead, opened the simple-looking wardrobe in the room to take a look.

    Chen Yang is really austere. He only have a few articles of clothing and they were all made of low quality material. One can tell from a single look that they cannot be worth more than a couple of tens.

    ''Uncle, you should turn in early. I¡¯ll prepare breakfast for you tomorrow. Just heat it up when you wake up.¡¯ The youth¡¯s concerned voice drifted through the door.

    Chen An couldn¡¯t help curving his lips. It has been a long time since he heard such simple and unpretentious concern.

    Ever since Zhang Le left him, there had been no one else who cared sincerely about him.

 Chapter 9

    Chapter 9: Chen An¡¯s job (1)

    It was only when sunlight streamed through the window and shined onto his face did Chen An finally opened his eyes in a daze.

    The consequence of severe myopia was that only a foggy view would greet one¡¯s eyes in the morning. The fuzzy effect of sunlight hitting on indistinctive blobs of colour gave an illusion of heaven.

    Chen An raised a hand to cover his eyes. As alertness gradually tinkled in, he slowly sat up on the bed. He squinted his eyes to grab his sses and looked at the rm clock. It¡¯s a quarter to ten in the morning.

    He use to be a person who gets up from bed at eight sharp every morning. To an extent, it was even obsessivepulsive. But as time passed, due to his old aliments and increasing age, he had to bow down to reality.

    Gradually he no longer rise before eight, gradually he passed his work and authority over to Lu Feng.

    Giving himself azy stretch, Chen An dragged his pasty-white fat body off the bed. Though this body is a little overweight, he is in fairly good health. He casually threw on some clothes before going into the cramp little bathroom to wash up. Only then did he enter the dining room to see a note and a box on the table.

    Chen An opened the box to find a key and 200 yuan inside it.

    He then read the note from Chen Yang:

    [Uncle, I¡¯m off to school. There is breakfast in the kitchen, all you need to do is heat it up. Inside the box is the apartment key and 200 yuan. Take the money first - it will be convenient for when you step out of the house. My number is 13900xxxxxx, give me a call if somethinges up.]

    As Chen An tucked the key into his pocket, he eyed the tworge hundred yuan notes in the box. After some thought, he took one of the notes. Though he would be rich soon enough, he really is penniless now.

    ¡®He really is a sensible child.¡¯

    After giving Chen Yang some casual words of praise, Chen An ate the breakfast Chen Yang prepared. Then with poorly-made pointed leather shoes on his feet, a nest of messy hair on his head and a document bag in his hand, Chen An left for ''work¡¯.

    Downtown Shanghai is bustling with people during the day. A middle-aged pudgy man in sunsses could not arouse any interest or standout in this crowd no matter what he does.

    With his bag, Chen An made his way to the sales centre in an upscale residential area in Shanghai. Under thick heavy sses, a pair of phoenix eyes held only mild indifference as they cast a sweeping look around the luxurious interior. Other than himself, there were a few men and women dressed in luxury branded clothes being shown around the apartments by enthusiastic realtors.

    With his current appearance, at a first nce he look like someone who does pyramid schemes. At a second nce, he look like someone who does real estate. At a third nce, he look like someone in financial securities.

    In other words, he look like a man he couldn¡¯t afford to buy a house.

    Hence, when Chen An walked into the building, the busy realtors barely spared him a nce before ignoring him. Even the ones who were clearly not busy, gave him only a cursory look without any intention to approach him.

    Having received the cold treatment, Chen An did not leave in a huff. If such a small matter could drive him into a rage, he would have died countless of times before.

    Chen An took a leisurely turn around the sales center. Chen Yang¡¯s tiny shabby apartment really didn¡¯t suit his taste.

    He really did go to work today. His job tasks was to look at houses and to buy one.

    ''Oh dear, don¡¯t you have better houses than these?¡¯ A delicate petitedy simpered impatiently. On one hand, she tugged at the arm of a middle-aged man while on the other, she carried a branded bag with an oversized logo.

    ''Yes, that¡¯s right. Show us something better.¡¯ The middle-aged man added with augh.

    A sh of irritation flickered in the realtor¡¯s eyes. This couple had been browsing for close to a hour yet nothing seem to catch their eye, rejecting one after another for all manner of reasons.

    So they want something better? Something more expensive?

    With an enthusiastic smile, the realtor pointed to the highest floor and said, ''Why don¡¯t we take a look at that apartment? It is a maiste thates with its own personal private elevator, garden balcony and swimming pool. It is the best house we have here.¡¯

    ''Is that true? It sounds rather great. Darling, should we take a look?¡¯ The delicatedy¡¯s eyes sparkled as she pouted at the potbellied middle-aged man by her side.

    Seeing the look of hesitance in the middle-aged man¡¯s face, the realtor added passionately, ''Sir, all our elevators uses palm print recognition technology to guarantee your security. Plus, the private home elevators will protect your privacy and indoors, we have also installed thetest home air-conditioning system as well as used American central vacuuming technology. If you are concern about safety, please rest assure. Here, we can say that we have the best security system in Shanghai.¡¯

    _________

    ''Once you open the balcony door, you are treated to the entire night view of The Bund. Such an apartmentyout is truly a rare sight.¡¯

    ''That¡­ indeed sounds very good. How is it sold?¡¯ the middle-aged man asked.

    The realtor whipped out her calctor and with a smile added, ''Sir, every square feet is a 150 thousand. This suite is a total of 764 square feet so the selling price would be 146 million.¡¯

    Just as the man¡¯s face stiffened, they heard a sudden voice from their side. ''I want this suite. What is the best price you can give me?¡¯

    This suite is not one that anyone can afford. The reason the realtor showed this house was to simply embarrass the arrogant couple and bring them down a notch. She certainly did not expect a big shot to appear and actually buy the house.

    ''You? Can you afford it?¡¯

    Those were not words the realtor dared to speak. Though she share the same doubts, she certainly did not share the same boldness. When that delicatedy overheard that someone wanted to buy the house, she turned her head back only to realise that it was actually a bucktooth, ugly and obese man dressed in cheap clothing. And in that moment, she stuck up her awl-like jaw to re at Chen An.

    Chen An smiled benignly as he took a credit card out from his bag. ¡°If you want this house, I can let it to you. If you don¡¯t, then this house is mine.¡¯

    He turned around to face the stupefied realtor and continued, ¡¯ If they don¡¯t want the house, I¡¯ll take it.¡¯

    It took a moment for the realtor to regain her senses. Could this be a VIP here? It seems like bigwigs these days like to keep a low profile. Didn¡¯t Xiao Lee sold a suite to a seemingly nondescript olddy a few months ago?

    ''Sir, Mam, do you still want this suite?¡¯

    ''We¡­ Of course we¡­¡¯ But before the delicatedy could finish, the middle-aged man shot her a furious re. Without a second look at either the realtor or Chen An, he threw a few clipped words of rejection before dragging the delicatedy away with him in a haste.

 Chapter 10

    Chapter 10: Chen An¡¯s job (2)

    The house came fully furnished so all one had to do was to pay up, and they can move in right away. But Chen An¡¯s taste has always been particr so before he moved in, he hired a home decoratingpany to redecorate the ce to his satisfaction.

    On the first day, he had searched, bought and redecorated a house.

    On the second day, he purchased a number of fitness equipment and had movers moved them into the gym inside his house.

    And on the third day, the home decoratingpany was moving in a piece of expensive furniture. Chen An sat in his sky garden and drank his coffee. He tilted his head down to skim lightly through the resume on the table in front of him before shifting his eyes up to the youngdy before him.

    Standing in front of Chen An was a petite college student who was about twenty years old. Her face was round and on it, was a pair of sses that gave her a demure appearance. Her hands twisted together, revealing her nervousness.

    Chen An needed a helper. This assistant cannot be too smart nor can they be too stupid, but more importantly, they cannot be sly.

    ¡®Why don¡¯t you introduce yourself?¡¯ He asked mildly.

    While his appearance is that of a portly middle-aged man, but in the marrow of his bones, he is still that all-powerful international firearms crime lord. Once a person had changed on the inside, his entire aura would change as well.

    The youngdy merely wanted to apply as a housekeeper as she does normally. She certainly didn¡¯t expect the seemingly unremarkable man before her to bring her such invisible pressure the moment he opened his mouth.

    As though she was carrying a heavy rock on her back, the youngdy timidly opened her mouth. But despite feeling nervous, she did her best to keep her voice level. ''Mr. Chen, it is very nice to meet you. My name is Wang Li. I am a year 2 student at Shanghai University A. I have been familiar with doing chores since I was a child. Currently, I already have a year of professional housekeeping experience¡­¡¯

    She spoke at great length as though she was regurgitating from a book. From her long eloquent speech, she certainly sounded like she had experience and capability. However, what caught Chen An¡¯s attention was not herckluster resume, but rather, it was the fact that she seem to be studying at the same university as Chen Yang.

    Among the candidates who came in for an interview, there was nock of those who are prettier than Wang Li, there was nock of those with richer experience, and neither was there ack of those carrying impressive professional certificates. Chen An certainly have nock of choices.

    ''That¡¯s enough.¡¯ Chen An intoned tly as he set his coffee down.

    Wang Li froze for a moment. Assuming that the other had lost interest in hearing more, she was just about to apologise politely and leave when she saw the man stood up to walk to her side. ''Do you know how to cook?¡¯

    ''Yes, I do!¡¯ Wang Li nodded her head vigorously in a dazed manner.

    ''Then prepare dinner before 7.¡¯

    Having said his piece, Chen An entered the house. While he certainly could have chosen a morepetent assistant, but when he looked at the slightly na?ve youngdy before him, she reminded him of the Chen Yang back home.

    The man couldn¡¯t help a small self-depreciating smile. When did he be so sentimental?

    ______________________

    The biggest difference between his previous life and his present life is probably the fact that Chen An now have to handle several matters personally. In his room, Chen An scheduled an appointment via telephone to visit the hospital the next day when he saw that the time was already close to dinner time.

    The youngdy prepared 4 dishes. While the variety isn¡¯t much, they certainly looked appetising. The taste was good as well and it even carried a vour of a mother¡¯s cooking.

    Without bothering to ask if Wang Li knew Chen Yang, Chen An finished his meal and left the house together with her. ''This is the door key card. Come by tomorrow to clean.¡¯

    ''Urm, Mr. Chen, would you not be home tomorrow?¡¯ Wang Li gingerly asked as she kept the key card carefully.

    ''Hn.¡¯

    Receiving only a grunt as an answer, the shy girl didn¡¯t dare venture more questions as she stood awkwardly in the elevator. It was only until when Chen An left did she heaved a heavy sigh of relief.

    Chen An had never been a man that people could feel close to, be it in the past or the present.

    By the time he took a cab back to the rented apartment, it was already close to 9pm. Chen An was still wearing that set of in clothes and had gotten used to the extra bs on his body such that it doesn¡¯t pull as much of his attention away as before.

    From the bottom floor, he could see that the lights in the apartment were on. It seems like Chen Yang is already back.

    When Chen An exited the elevator, the young man in the house suddenly rushed out. With a look of anxiety, he asked, ''Uncle, why did youe home sote? You scared me.¡¯

    Looking at the face of relief on his nephew, Chen An mocked, ''Why, are you afraid that I will try to kill myself again? I¡¯ve tried it once and I failed. If I were to try again, then I¡¯m just too much of a failure.¡¯

    ''No, No! I was just worried about you. Uncle, its already sote, have you eaten?¡¯ Chen Yang continued as he carried Chen An¡¯s bag inside and shut the door behind them.

    Chen Zhang An gave a darting look at the dining table. Atop the small table were two neatly ced rice bowls and chopsticks. The food has already gone cold but it didn¡¯t looked touched.

    ''Next time, don¡¯t wait for me. I¡¯ve eaten already, so go ahead by yourself.¡¯

    Turning around, Chen An headed straight to the bedroom. By the time Chen Yang thought to follow, he heard the bang of the bedroom door being shut.

 Chapter 11

    Chapter 11: A coincidental meeting with Ding Sheng (1)

    This is Chen An¡¯s job everyday: wake up in the morning at Chen Yang¡¯s small rented apartment, eat the breakfast prepared by that kid, then ride a bicycle downtown where he would keep up on current affairs and work out under the guidance of his professional personal trainer in his fully-furnished luxury apartment. Each day was spent with sweat down his back.

    This peaceful and healthy lifested for over a month. Chen An stood on the weighing scale and nced at his greatly diminished weight. As the saying goes, if you put in the work, you will get to enjoy the rewards eventually.

    After a shower, Chen An stared at his reflection in the mirror.

    Compared to a month ago, hisplexion had greatly improved. Under the regime of healthy food and exercise, his face was also finally beginning to gain some definition. But all that said, this appearance was still far below his standards.

    Done with his bath, Chen An don on a set of clean clothing and sat in the study room with his tablet to browse the news. Though he currently have some funds in his hands, it isn¡¯t enough to sustain his future ns let alone help him regain his former position.

    Chen An lowered his head to read thetest international news; good old America just can¡¯t take a break. In the recent years, both indirect and direct conflicts had never once ceased. With the continuous news of war outbreaks in the Middle east and Africa, it really is a constant stream of ¡®delightful¡¯ news for happy arm traffickers.

    While he still possess the knowledge of how to obtain and sell firearms, heck the influence and foundation he had build for over two decades.

    Before him, there are only two paths. The first is to start from scratch - but the international scene today is no longer conducive for the expansion of arms trafficking as it was twenty years ago as most of the major shares are already under the tight control of existing firearm kingpins. While it is not impossible to start from the ground up, this path would be difficult. Fortunately, Chen An still have some resources at hand.

    Alternatively, he can coborate with someone.

    The only question is, who should he work with?

    Chen An can admit that he is a paranoid, controlling and overbearing man. He didn¡¯t like sharing his authority or his spoils with anyone; besides, he couldn¡¯t find anyone to partner with.

    But perhaps he can find a middle ground between these two paths. He would rather work solo, but in times of necessity, he didn¡¯t mind working with temporary partners.

    He should start small first. Even with just himself, it should be easy for him to manage.

    But first, he need to take a trip to the hospital.

    Half a month ago, Chen An went to the hospital for braces. Though it doesn¡¯t give instantaneous results for his terrible buckteeth, it is the most simple and effective method. Today, he had to go for a check up.

    Cycling down to the hospital, Chen An took a queue number before finding a seat. While he certainly could afford a private doctor, but in his memory, he haven¡¯t experienced such a mundane and ordinary lifestyle for decades.

    While outsiders only saw his immense wealth and power, they didn¡¯t know that the price of it was to give up any semnce of an ordinary life. He can never take a casual stroll down the street, because wherever he goes, there must always be bodyguards by his side. There are simply far too many people in this world who wanted to take his life; but be itpetitors or enemies, none of them would have ever guessed that his killer would be himself.

    Just as he was enjoying his carefree moment of not having to worry about being shot at by hidden assasins, a person suddenly sat down beside Chen An. Without thinking, Chen An automatically turned to nce at the neer who joined the queue - and his pupils dted on seeing a familiar face.

    Sitting beside Chen An was a young man. His simple cotton t-shirt revealed a strong muscr figure that is difficult to see in Asians. His bicep muscles looked powerful and beautiful with continuous defined lines and his neat short hair framed a handsome face.

    Chen An¡¯s reaction caught the young man¡¯s attention immediately. But when he saw that it was just a middle-aged pudgy ordinary civilian with braces and sses, the sharp look in his eyes faded. He greeted Chen An with a cheerful hello.

    Ding Sheng, an Interpol agent with aplicated background, was someone Chen An failed to bribe. He is a young, righteous and irritating fellow.

    ''Are you here to see about your teeth too?¡¯ Chen An isn¡¯t a man who like to initiate conversation with others. Under usual circumstances, for him to take the initiative, there is always an ulterior motive.

 Chapter 12

    Chapter 12: A coincidental meeting with Ding Sheng (2)

    As an arms trafficker, bribing the police is part of the normal.

    On the surface, those who sell firearms are the wanted targets of the police and governments, but in reality, they are partners. In Chen An¡¯s opinion, the kingpins of arms trafficking are actually no different from traders in the market. The true producers and the true controllers are actually the 5 states in the United Nations and not them.

    The number of weapons they sell in an entire year can¡¯t evenpare to the number the 5 states sell in a single day.

    But regardless, there are indeed some people in this world that couldn¡¯t be bought. Even if they knew the rules of the world, they still held on tight to their morals and principles.

    An example would be this young man sitting beside him, Ding Sheng. Ever since he appeared 5 years ago, this Interpol agent with a seemingly bright future ahead of him, loves seeking trouble with Chen An. And neither women nor money could move this man.

    ¡®Yes, I heard that the dentist here is really good. Since I live in the neighbourhood, I decided to drop by for a checkup.¡¯ Ding Sheng gave the bespectacled, decent-looking middle-aged man a friendly smile. With guileless eyes, he then asked sincerely, ''You too?¡¯

    This was the first time Chen An saw Ding Sheng wear such a radiant smile that even carried hints of innocence. One must know that in all their previous encounters, Ding Sheng had only ever presented him with a harsh demeanor. His eyes would re tightly at Chen An with fire spitting out of them as though he couldn¡¯t wait to whip out his gun and shoot down the war monger before him.

    Chen An smiled breezily as he pointed at his braces in his slightly opened mouth. ''Follow-up visit.¡¯

    ''Teeth straightening?¡¯ Ding Sheng paused before he started chuckling. It wasn¡¯t a mockingugh; and when this handsome youthughed he looked very attractive with his eyes curved into crescents.

    ''There are very few adults in China who would still straighten their teeth, but I feel that this is good thing.¡¯

    Surprisingly, the inflexible, stubborn and cumbersome Interpol agent in Chen An¡¯s impression is actually a cheerful and lively brat in private. A chatterbox whose chatter won¡¯t ceased once it was opened; he even shared his own childhood teeth straightening experience to the virtual ''stranger¡¯ that is Chen An.

    While he listened, Chen silentlymented to himself. Before his rebirth, he never would have an opportunity to meet this private version of Ding Sheng.

    But since he had been given an opportunity to meet Ding Sheng, Chen An didn¡¯t mind making such a ''friend¡¯.

    ''Are you a fresh graduate?¡¯ Chen An asked with a natural beguiling smile that he had honed from years of experience. Just a tiny smile is sufficient; a big smile might actually arouse suspicion; especially if the other party is a highly trained Interpol agent.

    As expected, Ding Sheng did not notice anything amiss. He smiled as he replied, ''Me? No, I¡¯ve graduated a long time ago. I¡¯m just taking a break now to visit my father.¡¯

    After all, who would suspect a seemingly harmless, pudgy and middle-aged man?

    ''I have a nephew who is currently in his second year in university. You look around the same age.¡¯ Chen An continued smiling as he made used of this topic as an opening for slow conversation with Ding Sheng.

    Chen An understood a little of how Ding Sheng thinks and behaves. Towards a wolf who pursues you so relentlessly, you would definitely make efforts to understand them.

    Ding Sheng is of mixed blood. His father was a Maind Chinese while his mother was an American Jew. Though most of his childhood was spent with his mother but his appearance lean closer towards his Chinese heritage. But as he liked his Chinese heritage, he did not forget how to converse in mandarin.

    This fellow have aplicated background. In short, Chen An will not hire people to eliminate Ding Sheng; besides, even if Ding Sheng did manage to arrest him, he wouldn¡¯t be able to keep him in a cell, so ultimately, it doesn¡¯t really matter.

    But looking at the present situation, Chen An certainly didn¡¯t mind having another ''friend¡¯ such as Ding Sheng.

    Chen An shot Ding Shen another smile. ''Truthfully, about a month ago, I went through a life changing experience. I want to change and lead apletely new life, so besides straightening my teeth, I want to be healthier.¡¯

    ''I work out at a nearby gym everyday. Should we go together?¡¯ Predictibly, Ding Sheng took the bait.

    ''Sure, but I¡¯ve never been to a gym before. Do guide me along then so I don¡¯t embarrass myself too much.¡¯ Chen An was smiling so much that his eyes crinkled, looking exactly like a wily fox whose scheme seeded.

 Chapter 13

    Chapter 13: Uncle, don¡¯t you like it?

    Chen An wasn¡¯t concern about Ding Sheng realising anything awry. Even if he did decide to investigate him, he will only find that ¡®Chen An¡¯ is just a normal man in his thirties who couldn¡¯t be any more ordinary.

    As for how he would wash the money in his hands clean, Chen An have his ways. Shanghai isn¡¯t a ce thatcks opportunities tounder money, and one good example would be betting.

    There are people who specialises in collecting winning lotteries. All Chen An had to do is to buy a winning lottery and then im the money to have an exnation for the sudden amount of cash in his disposal.

    Just like normal, Chen An got ready to leave for ''work¡¯ after eating breakfast. His cover to Chen Yang was to tell him that he had a job as a security guard in an upscale residential area. This lie also conveniently exins away the nights when he didn¡¯t return home.

    The crafty fox habitually leave wiggle room in his lies; he also habitually ce limited trust in the people around him.

    Lu Feng¡¯s betrayal is an inerasable shadow over his heart.

    ''Uncle, wait!¡¯ Chen Yang suddenly shouted after his departing uncle.

    ''Yes?¡¯ Chen Yang paused by the open door as he stared at the nearby youth rummaging through his bag. While he knew Chen Yang is a good-natured kid, he nevertheless still kept a measure of cautious distance between them.

    Carrying a small bag in his hands, Chen Yang scampered over. As though he was feeling too bashful to say anything, Chen Yang merely handed the bag over to Chen An before murmuring haltingly, ''Uncle, I just got my pay. Please take this.¡¯

    ''What is it?¡¯ Chen An was stumped for a moment. While he knew that Chen yang was schooling, he certainly didn¡¯t know that Chen Yang was working a part-time job as well.

    He was indeed baffled at first; Why did Chen Yang chose to stay off-campous instead of inside? Was it because it would be more conveninent for work?

    ''Open it up.¡¯ Chen Yang could barely contain his excitement, like a child waiting to receive words of praise, his face held only anticipation as he faced Chen An.

    And in that moment, his innocent and pure gaze reminded Chen An sharply of his brother. Years ago, when they were still making a name for themselves, they often could not eat the dishes of their hometown. Then, to make Chen Zhang An happy, Chen Zhang Le would ventured out to Chinatown on his own to learn how to cook.

    The first time Zhang Le made him a table of Chinese dishes, he had looked at Chen An with the same eagerness that Chen Yang have now.

    Chen An broke into a startling smile. It has been a long time since he felt such a heartwarming emotion.

    He pulled open the bag and removed an exquisitely packaged box. Inside it was a phone. While it wasn¡¯t a brand that many people recognize, for a student working to pay for his own tuition, this phone cost a fairly sizeable sum.

    ''Uncle, my number is already stored inside the phone and the calls are already prepaid. This way, the next time when its too dark and you couldn¡¯t catch a bus home, I cane fetch you.¡¯

    For the past several days, Chen An had been returning home only when itste into the night. Chen Yang had been worried sick but yet he had no way of contacting his uncle. So in the end, he made up his mind and decided to bite the bullet to buy Chen An a phone.

    Seeing that Chen An had not spoken a word at all, Chen Yang gingerly tested the waters and carefully asked, ''Uncle, don¡¯t you like it?¡¯

    Ever since he entered university, Chen Yang had never once asked for handouts from his family. Hence each day when he wasn¡¯t in ss, he would be working because other than his tuition and rent, he had to cover his own monthly expenses.

    Before he was hospitalised, Chen An would often buy food for Chen Yang and on asion, even stuffed some money to him. Though they did not meet often, but Chen An¡¯s kindness had been deeply engraved into Chen Yang¡¯s mind.

    Now that Chen An had fallen into trouble; not only is he bankrupt but that he almost killed himself, Chen An would not abandon his rtive no matter.

    ''I like it. I like it a lot.¡¯ It was rare for Chen An to feel so touched. He could onlyment to himself that he had apparently not bepletely cold-blooded as he stepped forward to gently enveloped Chen Yang in a hug.

    Patting gently on Chen Yang¡¯s back, Chen An asked, ''Would you be eating dinner at home tonight?¡¯

    ''Yes.¡¯ Chen Yang replied instantly without thought.

    ''Then wait for me tonight so we can eat together.¡¯

    Done with the conversation, Chen An took the phone and left. Chen Yang on the other hand, stood frozen at his spot in a daze. He lowered his head and touched the spot where Chen An had hugged him. He felt a light sensation of warmth and satisfaction.

    Rtives really are the best, Chen Yang thought quietly. In a great mood, he proceeded to clear the dishes with a song.

 Chapter 14

    Chapter 14: The disturbance in the gym

    Who needs a personal trainer? Ding Sheng, an Interpol agent, is the best fitness coach one could ever ask for. With only a workout tank on his upper body, it revealed his strong and powerful physique. And due to Ding Sheng¡¯s partial Chinese heritage, he looked fit yet not excessively beefy.

    Inparison, even though he was much slimmerpared to a month before, Chen An still had far more bs than muscles. His goal is to just get his weight down to an appropriate level; he hardly dare aspire to attain a figure as excellent as Ding Sheng¡¯s.

    Losing weight is actually quite simple, here are the words of truth: eat less and exercise more.

    But to actually do so, one needs immense strength of will to rely on. Without, one might fail even before they start. Fortunately, a strong willpower is one of the personal strengths that Chen An take pride in.

    Taking a break in his workout, Chen An sat on a spinning bike to rest. After drinking two small mouthfuls of water from his bottle and taking a breath, he casually asked, ¡®Are you going back to America soon?¡¯

    ''Yeah, I¡¯m going back next month. I¡¯m used to work, so taking a break actually makes me feel restless.¡¯ Ding Sheng then asked, ''What about you?¡¯

    ''Me? I don¡¯t know. I¡¯m taking a step at a time.¡¯ Chen An returned an awkward smile. Currently, he and Ding Sheng are just ordinary friends. Other than knowing each other¡¯s names, they didn¡¯t know each others¡¯ profession nor ask about each other¡¯s past.

    Since Ding Sheng did not question, Chen An would not volunteer information.

    Continuing his workout on the spinning bike, Chen An pondered. Ever since Ding Sheng joined the Interpol, he had bitten on to Chen An tightly without rest. His sudden vacation now could be because the firearms kingpin Chen Zhang An he was doggedly pursuing before is now dead. So it was only now did he have time to rest.

    Not only did he not manage to catch his target, but he discovered that thetter was dead. Ding Sheng must feel not only displeasure but maybe even crushing regret.

    ''Ha, this gym really allows just any kind of trash toe in here.¡¯ A cold taunt suddenly rang near him.

    Neither Chen An or Ding Sheng paid any mind as it barely registered in their attention from the start. It was only when he heard his name being called out did Chen An slipped his sses back on to take a look.

    In the near distance were two young men wearing matching couple gym outfits. The one on the left was a little taller while the one on the right was a little shorter. The shorter one had a fair and clear appearance that was appealing to the eye - if not for the acidic expression he had on his face.

    ''Oh, isn¡¯t that President Chen An?¡¯

    The fairer youth suddenly gave Chen An a taunting smile. He scanned Chen An slowly and with hints of vicious intent added, ''You lost so much weight I almost didn¡¯t recognize you. You still look like a fat pig though, haha.¡¯

    ''Who are they?¡¯ Ding Sheng asked with a frown. Though he and Chen An cannot be said to be particr close friends, but he will never allow anyone to humiliate his friends in front of him.

    ''I don¡¯t know.¡¯ It was the truth. It is likely that it was the ''Chen An¡¯ of the past who knew them, but regardless of who these fellows are, those who insult him have to pay a painful price.

    He had always been a person who keep grudges and enjoy vengeance.

    But this was not the right moment to stand up for himself. With narrowed eyes, Chen An gave a sweeping look at the two. He had a good guess as to the identities of these people.

    ''Chen An, don¡¯t you have anything to say to an old friend? Don¡¯t you remember who I am? Are the rumors true after all? That after you tried tomit suicide, your brain was damaged and you became an idiot?¡¯ Although the pale youth had a rtively pleasing appearance, he had a venomous mouth.

    ''There is no point talking to a loser. Xiao Jie, lets go to a different gym.¡¯ The taller man beside Xiao Jie seem to have absolutely no interest in Chen An. He couldn¡¯t even be bothered to spare Chen An a nce, his face only showing impatience and disdain.

    ''How could a person who just got dumped and lost his career have the mood to go to a gym? Even if Pigsy loses weight, he is still a pig. Why don¡¯t you take a piss and take a look in the mirror to see what kind of trash you are?¡¯ The youth named Xiao Jie seem to really have it out for Chen An, with every line uttered a poisonous jab of abuse.

    ''Shut your mouth!¡¯ Ding Shen could no longer reign in his temper and yelled. With the imposing manner of an Interpol agent and hisrge brawny physique, it instantly startled the two men.

    Chen An knew Ding Sheng wouldn¡¯t be able to contain his anger. Why else would he be known for his righteousness?

    Righteous is indeed the term to describe Ding Sheng without any trace of irony.

    ''I don¡¯t know what kind of rtionship we had in the past, but I no longer remember you. There is no need for you to belittle me like this.¡¯ Chen An decided to insert at the appropriate time.

    ''Oh my god, Hao Hao*, look at him! At his age, this pig still went to straighten his teeth. This is hrious! What do you intend to do? Are you going to Korea to get stic surgery done because you feel that you are too ugly? Because with the way that you are now, nobody will want you! Hahaha!¡¯ When he saw the braces on Chen An¡¯s teeth, Xiao Jie immediately burst into mockingughter.

    ''I told you to shut your trap, didn¡¯t you hear me?¡¯ Completely incensed, Ding Sheng stepped two steps forward and grabbed the youth¡¯s shirt cor. With their stark physical difference, it looked like he was lifting a chicken.

    ''You - what do you want to do? I don¡¯t know you, put me down! Hao Hao, he wants to beat me up! Help me quick!¡¯ The little gigolo instantly wailed hysterically.

 Chapter 15

    Chapter 15: Revenge must be served

    ¡®I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯ve caused you trouble with my personal problems.¡¯

    Upon leaving the police station, Chen An immediately apologised to Ding Sheng. As for the two who just received a beating, they are still inside the station taking their statements. Due to Ding Sheng¡¯s unique identity, all he had to do was to clear up some matters and he was free to go.

    ''Those two fellows got what they deserved. Someone needs to stand up to them and teach them a lesson. If they dare find trouble for you again, remember to look for me.¡¯ As a police officer himself, Ding Sheng knew just how useless threatening to call the cops is.

    ''Thank you, Ding Sheng.¡¯ Chen An had no qualms about acting vulnerable, making full use of the opportunity to reveal some of his unmorous past.

    ''I¡¯m sorry I¡¯ve never told you anything about my past before. Do you still remember how we first met in the hospital? It was after going through some unhappy experiences that I decided to change myselfpletely and lead a different life.¡¯

    Chen An gave a brief ount of his past that included how he was scammed by crooks as well as how he tried to take his life when he couldn¡¯t take the blow from the deception and his bankruptcy.

    ''Luckily, I was able to live. I think heaven wanted to give me a second chance at a new life so much so that they even remove my memories. So all the more, I should face the future with a positive outlook. Those two that we met today belong to the past, so I will forget everything they said.''

    Sitting in Ding Sheng¡¯s luxury sports car, Chen An allowed him to send him back to Chen Yang¡¯s residence, a simple and shabby residential block.

    ''An, do you need help?¡¯ Ding Sheng asked sincerely when he saw the rundown apartment block behind Chen An.

    Chen An could hear the message hidden in Ding Sheng¡¯s words. Ding Sheng wants to help his pitiful self but is yet afraid of hurting Chen An¡¯s pride. Truly, what a kind and righteous youth.

    With a quirk of his lips, Chen An replied with a serene but determined smile, ''If there trulyes a day when I need help, I¡¯ll look for you. By the way, I¡¯ll be going on a vacation overseas for the next few days so I won¡¯t be able to go to the gym for a while.¡¯

    ''How can I contact you?¡¯ Ding Sheng asked urgently.

    Chen An gave his number to him before asking teasingly, ¡¯ Aren¡¯t you curious? How is it that I can take a trip overseas when I am broke?¡¯

    Hitting the arrow on the head, Ding Sheng gave an awkwardugh. As an active police officer with a high solve rate, Ding Sheng almost have an obsessivepulsion towards the details.

    Not only did Chen An have money to vacation overseas, he even have the money to use the gym in the downtown area. Yet, simultaneously, he lives in such a ordinary residential building. But Ding Sheng only had a mild curiosity towards this seemingly good-natured man before him and not suspicion.

    ''If we have a chance to meet again, I¡¯ll tell you. Thank you for sending me back. Goodbye.¡¯

    Curving his lips on purpose, Chen An made his farewells and left without a second nce at the young man staring at his back.

    He just needs to be ordinary friends with Ding Sheng and nothing more.

    As for the next step in development such as bing closer and more familiar friends, there is no need for that. With greater familiarity, the risk of giving himself away only increases.

    When he went up the floor, the smile on Chen An¡¯s face gradually faded bfore vanishingpletely. When he reached the apartment, he realised that the door was opened and inside, he found Chen Yang pacing anxiously.

    ''Uncle, who sent you home just now? That car looks really expensive.¡¯ When Chen Yang heard the engine purr of a sports car from upstairs, he had looked out of the window out of curiosity. It was to his utter astonishment when he saw Chen An stepped out of the car.

    ''Oh, he is just a business owner in our neighbourhood. He gave me a ride home because it was on his way.¡¯ Handing his bag to Chen Yang automatically, Chen An unbuttoned his shirt as turned to head towards the bedroom.

    ''Uncle, are you hungry? Should I prepare you something to eat?¡¯ Chen Yang added quickly.

    ''No need.¡¯

    He is on a diet right now. How can he still eat supper?

    When he entered the small bedroom, Chen An sat down and switched on theptop. He is a petty man. For those who offend him, he must let them know what a huge mistake it was.

    On hisptop, Chen An searched the names of the two men he met at the gym today: Wang Hao and Liu Xiao jie. One cheated him of his money that led to his bankruptcy and subsequent suicide while the other, was an old lover who colluded with outsiders to betray Chen An.

 Chapter 16

    <strong>Chapter 16: Shining bright</strong>

    In Chen An¡¯s opinion, dealing with these small fries personally would only dirty his hands. He had a fair idea of how ¡®Chen An¡¯ got conned in the first ce: with a low-end yet very effective scam - private fundraising.

    Although Chen An was a honest man by nature, he had kept his sexual orientation a secret since an early age and in his private life, he had always been repressive about his needs. Plus on top of that, he was once traumatised in his youth when he was viciously rejected by a crush who had reviled Chen An as a pervert. With all these factorsbined, Chen An became a man with low self-esteem.

    Thus, when the handsome Liu Xiao Jie who seemed smart and cute appeared, Chen An lost all his clear-headedness and wentpletely weak at the knees. He treasured this hard-won rtionship beyond measure so much so that he trusted Liu Xiao Jie blindly and took out all his life savings to raise funds. Yet in the end, his lover ran away and all his money vanished.

    Receiving only deception for his wholehearted love and losing all the money he umted with over a decade of hard work in a single day; no ordinary person could withstand such a setback.

    Since he had inherited both Chen An¡¯s identity and body, he didn¡¯t mind taking revenge for the Chen An of the past. But before that, he mustplete his first deal. When he return from his trip overseas, he will find the right opportunity to even the score with Wang Hao and Liu Xiao Jie.

    _________________________

    ''You are going to Vietnam?!¡¯ Chen Yang who was pouring soybean milk for Chen An was so startled when he heard this sudden announcement that he almost split the milk from his shaken hands.

    As he handed over the cup of hot soybean milk, he asked curiously, ''Uncle, why are you going to Vietnam?¡¯

    ''To rx,¡¯ Chen An drawled as he took the offered cup and started sipping it slowly. ''I¡¯ll be back within half a month.¡¯

    ''Ok.¡¯ Chen Yang replied. He ducked his head, heavy with thought. asionally he would lift his head to train his eyes on Chen An. He had the sudden startling realisation that the uncle before him felt a little like a stranger.

    From the window, the sun shone in with warm pale golden sunshine that dappled on to Chen An''s cheek, rendering the man¡¯s face into warm jade, so pale it was almost translucent.

    Compared to a few months prior when he was just discharged the hospital, Chen An had lost a lot of weight. The contours on his face had deepened slowly and now his facial features had became more prominent. And after several treatments, teeth that was once quite unsightly had gradually resumed their rightful ces.

    Two pale pieces of lip moved rhythmically from chewing. Chen Yang had the startling thought that his uncle have a really pretty lip shape; he just didn¡¯t noticed before.

    No, other than the shape of his lips, his eyes are very attractive to look at too.

    ''Why are you staring at me for?¡¯ Just because Chen An¡¯s head was lowered and he wasn¡¯t paying attention to Chen Yang, didn¡¯t mean that he couldn¡¯t sense the stare the silly kid was giving him.

    ''Uncle, now that you have slimmed down, I realise that you are actually quite handsome.¡¯ Chen Yang gave a shyugh, revealing a mouthful of neat pearly teeth. With both hands on the table, he added with a somewhat dull-witted look at Chen An, ''And I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s just in my head, but Uncle, I feel that after you have lost your memory, your entire demeanor had changed.¡¯

    ''Oh? And what did it be?¡¯ Chen An lifted his head to give Chen Yang a look. The darting sh of light amusement in his phoenix eyes rendering Chen Yang unable to think or move.

    ''Like the people in paintings. You have a presence, even more than the literature professor in my university.¡¯ Chen Yang answered in shy embarrassment. To him, Chen An had an indescribable elegance, so piercingly cold that it made it difficult for people to get close to him.

    But regardless, he like Chen An the way he is now. This man that now sat before him, emitted a radiance that he feel is far brighter than the rare sun outside.

 Chapter 17

    <strong>Chapter 17: The poisonous snake in First ss</strong>

    Chen An knew that he couldn¡¯t possibly keep living with Chen Yang like this indefinitely.

    His actions from here forth would be none that Chen Yang, an ordinary civilian, could understand. He had seen the books and result slips in Chen Yang¡¯s room. With his capabilities, finding a good job in Shanghai would definitely not be an issue; and then just like an ordinary person, Chen Yang can live out the rest of his life peacefully.

    When he return from Vietnam, Chen An will cut Chen Yangpletely out of his life.

    Leaving a short note to Chen Yang, Chen An left with a small luggage to the airport.

    ______________________

    The world is so big. Countless of nes take flight and descend in Shanghai everyday but as fates would have it, he unexpectedly encountered an ¡®old friend¡¯.

    After he found his seat in First ss, Chen An changed on his slippers and started to indulge in the book he retrieved from his bag. He never liked having people sitting beside him so he took care to book two ne tickets. Hence, while he imed the window seat, the seat near the aisle was empty.

    ''I know that book. It¡¯s ''Tao Te Ching¡¯ by Laozi*. How interesting, I have a very special friend who enjoys this book as well.¡¯

    With such fluent mandarin, one would immediately assume that the speaker is a native Chinese if they didn¡¯t see his face. But to Chen An, this voice is far too familiar. He didn¡¯t even need to raise his head to know that the owner of this voice is a blonde from Russia.

    Ivanov. Goddamn Ivanov. Why of all people must he meet this troublesome fellow?

    If he wasn¡¯t Chen An but Chen Zhang An, he would have revealed a kindly smile. He would then taken a White rabbit creamy candy** from his pocket and say, ''Little Ivan has grown so big. Does he still want uncle¡¯s candy?¡¯

    Compared to Ivanov, Chen An far prefer to work with Ivanov¡¯s father.

    At the very least, Ivanov¡¯s father is a typical Soviet man with principals and even some stubbornness. As for Ivanov, he is a poisonous snake buried hidden under the snow, posed to bite at any moment.

    Chen An pretended not to hear him. He didn¡¯t even bother to raise his head to acknowledge the poisonous snake that had coincidentally boarded the same flight as him but simply continued to read his book.

    ¡¯Woah, this is certainly interesting. You are even behaving just like him, ever so cold to me.¡¯

    Following those strange words, Chen An felt someone settling into the seat beside him. Instantly he said bitingly, ''That seat is taken.¡¯

    ''I¡¯ll leave when that person arrives.¡¯ Ivanov answered easily.

    ''I¡¯ve book that seat do you understand? I don¡¯t like having people sitting in my seat so stay away from me.¡¯ Closing his book, Chen An tilted his head to send the detestable man beside him an icy sharp look.

    But if looks could kill, Ivanov would have died several times every single day.

    ''A bad temper, a dislike towards people sitting beside him and even those sharp eyes. To be honest, if it wasn¡¯t for my friend¡¯s and your appearance¡­¡¯ Ivanov gave Chen An a prating once-over. With a deliberately disdainful and teasing look, he snorted andughed, ''The difference is really too much¡­¡¯

    Resisting the impulse to bash the other man¡¯s face in with his book, Chen An gestured for the air stewardess toe over. But before she could, Ivanov had wisely returned to his own seat chuckling.

    Chen An didn¡¯t take Ivanov¡¯s words to heart. Even if matters were exactly like Ivanov said: his personality, behavior and even his habits were identical to the past, but with his different looks as well as age, it is more than enough.

    No normal person would ever think that he is Chen Zhang An.

    Ignoring Ivanov¡¯s measuring gaze, Chen An continued to read his book but his mind had drifted elsewhere. He was pondering the reason as to why Ivanov is heading to Vietnam.

    This is China. Ivanov still isn¡¯t bold enough to deal in arms here directly. Perhaps he is working with the military?

    But to Chen An¡¯s knowledge, for years, due to the western arms embargo on China, there had been many smalltime dealers who acted as intermediaries to smuggle weapons in to China from the various European countries.

    But in the recent two years, China had been advancing in arms development at a rapid pace. The majority of the new weaponry developed are on par and some even superior in qualitypared with exports. Hence, even incidents of smugglers who ignored the embargo to bring in new exotic European models to sell to China had reduced significantly.

    But that does not mean that dealings under the table no longer exist.

    Should he get closer to Ivanov to find out?

    Chen An immediately vetoed that thought. The time isn¡¯t ripe yet.

 Chapter 18

    <hr>

    With less bs on his face, subtle contours on his face could finally be seen. He and Chen Yang are truly worthy of being called rtives; a mild resemnce in the brow could be observed with closer examination.

    And as though the thought suddenly urred to him, Chen An slowly removed his braces. Instantly, his agreeable appearance was elevated by several degrees. No matter how great a person¡¯s facial features look, if their teeth are ugly, the overall appearance would inevitably suffer.

    Chen An isn¡¯t really a vain person; he just believed that for a person who can¡¯t control their own weight or general hygiene, they no doubtckplete control over their own life and career. Such a person need not be inept; they are merely not worthy for Chen An to either associate with or trust.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª-

    After spending the night in the hotel, Chen An joined the tour group to begin their tour of this beautiful ce renowned for its stunning natural scenery.

    While he travelled around and enjoyed himself in the tour group, Chen An secretly made contact with a buyer. His true purpose here wasn¡¯t to take a holiday but toplete a transaction in Vietnam.

    Fortunately, buyers and sellers typicallymunicate via unique codes that outsiders cannot crack easily. Hence, even if he is no longer Chen Zhang An, it serves little deterrence to his continued business in arms trafficking.

    Besides, no one knows the true identity of the person behind the moniker ''Lao Zi¡¯*.

    There is only a river dividing the estuary to Yunnan and Vietnam. After the tour group had travelled within Yunnan for several days, they will then transit to Vietnam where they will have five days free at leisure before returning to Shanghai by boat at Halong Bay, Vietnam.

    Five days is sufficient time for Chen An.

 Chapter 19

    ¡®Take me to the goods.¡¯ Was Chen An¡¯s only nd reply.

    Though this man had a mild and harmless visage, but in his phoenix eyes, only a cold apathy could be found, unfathomable like a forestke in the depths of the night.

    The waiter pinned Chen An with a long look. Though he had never seen him before, but this man appeared both calm and cold; he certainly don¡¯t behave like a novice.

    ''Come with me.¡¯

    The waiter removed the caf¨¦ apron from his waist and led Chen An into the storeroom next door. In a corner, he squatted down and shifted aside a few bags of coffee beans to reveal an entrance to an underground basement.

    The waiter took the lead and leaped in with Chen An following close behind. The dark basement below was apletely different world to the caf¨¦ outside.

    After the lights were switched on, rows of guns could be seen lining the walls. These are certainly not toy models.

    ''This is the first batch.¡¯ The waiter cracked open a crate to reveal a pile of dangerous firearms buried in hay.

    Chen An returned his book back into his bag. Under the watchful eye of the waiter, he slipped on a pair of gloves and retrieved a pistol from the crate. With experienced hands, he fiddled with the gun. As he expected, the sensation of holding a gun felt wonderful.

    ¡°This is an imitation of the American 0.45 caliber colt model 1911.¡± Chen An shot a look at the waiter beside him, the coldness shing through his eyes driving a quiver into the waiter¡¯s heart.

    ''It¡¯s not inferior to the original!¡¯ The petite waiter retorted viciously with a voiceced with malice.

    But if Chen An could be startled so easily, he wouldn¡¯t be Chen An at all.

    ''Where are the 92 pistol models?¡¯ Chen An questioned instead as he returned the pistol back into the crate.

    ''In here.¡¯ One would suddenly feel weakened and feeble after delivering a forceful punch into water. Seeing only Chen An¡¯s emotionless disy, the small waiter unconsciously softened his tone as he opened another crate for Chen An to peruse.

    Just like before, Chen An started examining the goods. Although they are not authentic, the quality of these counterfeits are still eptable. In a ce like Vietnam, other than the factories publicly known to be owned byrge organisations, there are also numerous underground military factories.

    While he can¡¯t dabble inrge weaponry, he certainly can deal with these mass counterfeit pistols.

    ''Help me store them in the car.¡¯ Chen An said as he removed his gloves.

 Chapter 20

    ¡®To my knowledge, Lao Zi has not made an appearance for many years.¡¯

    Inside the cabin, a small lean man spoke in authentic Cantonese whilst he smoked a cigarette as he cracked opened the crate Chen An bought in for inspection.

    This dark-skinned petite man is named Ah Wei and he is one of Tiger King¡¯s subordinate. He is also the person in charge of carrying out the transaction with Chen An. Although Ah Wei had been active in the Southeast Asian region for several years, but it is not easy to gain the trust of local arm dealers in the various Southeast Asian countries.

    In times like these, they frequently require a middleman with an established reputation in the trade such as Chen An to act as a go-between to make the transaction.

    Tiger King is a mafia boss based in Guangzhou. He was born with the name Wang Guo Wei and started out as a hooligan in his youth. Eventually, with his exceptional intelligence and viciousness, he carved out a name for himself to be the Tiger King he is known today.

    Back in the day, Chen An had used the pseudonym ''Lao Zi¡¯ to conduct business with Tiger King. But as his business grew, he stopped concerning himself with such small dealings and instead, focused his attentions to Africa and the Middle East.

    ''Please help me pass on a message to Master Tiger: If an opportunity ever arises, I would personally pay a visit to him.¡¯

    Chen An eyed the open crate of weapons. ''Are there any problems?¡¯

    Even though this is Vietnam, it is still wiser to close such business dealings as soon as possible instead of chitchatting and dawdling.

    ''I will pass on your message to the boss.¡¯ Ah Wei then gestured to the side and a person soon stepped forward with a small pouch that An Wei tossed towards Chen An.

    Bouncing the pouch lightly in his hands, Chen An smiled thinly as he tucked it into his pocket.

    Observing this act, Ah Wei asked, ''Aren¡¯t you going to open it?¡¯

    ''I trust Master Wang¡¯s honor.¡¯

    Ah Wei instantly broke into a grin when he heard those words. ''You are doubt Lao Zi¡¯s man. Let¡¯s work together often in the future.¡¯

    ''Of course.¡¯

    After he left the cargo boat, Chen An appeared barely any different from when he had first arrived in Vietnam. Like a stereotypical tourist, he went about taking photos while he waited at the pier for the ship back to Shanghai.

 Chapter 21

    What an unreasonable man; they only met once on a ne. Even if his habits remained the same as in his previous life, these trivial quirks shouldn¡¯t have aroused Ivanov¡¯s interest enough to investigate him.

    Chen An¡¯s death should have been good news to Ivanov. It is the removal of a powerfulpetitor after all.

    ¡®I thought Chinese people are all very friendly and warm. Hey - hey, don¡¯t go, long live the friendship between Russia and China!¡¯ Following close behind Chen An, Ivanov started spouted strings of utter nonsense.

    What an idiot.

    Chen An couldn¡¯t help but frown. How could a madman like Ivanov be hispetitor?

    ¡®How do you say in it Mandarin? We have a shared destiny! Hey, An, how about a drink?¡¯ Ivanov didn¡¯t seem ready to part with Chen An yet.

    With Ivanov¡¯s looks and wealth, he really didn¡¯t need to follow behind a man whose looks are nothing exceptional.

    Chen An felt a sudden bewilderment; Why is Ivanov following him? Is it just because he share a few simrities to ¡®Chen Zhang An¡¯?

    But even more perplexing, why is he in the cruise bar drinking with Ivanov?

    ¡®I haven¡¯t introduced myself; I¡¯m Ivanov.¡¯

    For a man with such striking looks, he would attract attention no matter where he goes. Ivanov reserved the entire bar the moment he stepped inside, his burly guards standing guard at the door entrance like stone guardians, scaring away all the other tourists who tried to enter the bar.

    Without a word, Chen An picked up a ss and took a sip.

    His indifferent demeanor gave Ivanov an odd feeling that he was trying to kick an iron te. Jeering disdain shed through his eyes as he lightly circled the rim of his wine ss with a slender finger. ¡®As is the usual custom of making friends, aren¡¯t you going to tell me your name?¡¯

    ¡®But you know that already, don¡¯t you?¡¯ Chen An repliednguidly. He isn¡¯t dumb enough to jump into hole Ivanov dug for him.

    He couldn¡¯t quite ustom himself to the strong alcohol. It seems like his sensitivity to alcohol has increased immensely since his rebirth, because in the past, not even a thousand shots could bring him down. In fact, he had once depended on this alcoholic capacity that is as vast as the sea, to seal a deal with Ivanov¡¯s father on the bar table.

    Whether you are a man or woman, whether you are a child or a senior citizen, all Russians like to drink. In particrly vodka, an integral part of the lives.

    The ss of martini in his hands felt like a ss of poison; Chen An had a restless urge to finish it in a mouthful.

    Could it be that after switching a physical body, his alcoholic tolerance had turned to shit?

    ¡®Don¡¯t be a girl, An. Drink it all.¡¯ Ivanov smiled as he raised the emptied ss in his hand, his words sessfully provoking Chen An.

    Though Chen An appear to be in his thirties, but his soul is that of a man over forty years old. He didn¡¯t enjoy being looked down by someone so much younger than him one single bit.

    Especially when he was a champion drinker in the past.

    Chen An then did an action that he regretted to the bottom of his soul. He raised the ss of martini and downed itpletely.

    Rebirth of Chen An Chapter 25

    Ivanov was humming as hein down on the bed while watching TV, asionally turned to listen to the water sounds in the bathroom. There was a conflicted expression in his eyes as he started to enter the room. This man called Chen An was the first man to sleep in his bed and use his bathroom. He never imagined that someday this kind of situation would ever happen.

    In the end, why did he want to drag that drunken man into his room without letting other people bring Chen An back to his own room?

    Still in a cozy mood, Ivanov suddenly gazed at Chen An¡¯s bag with the corner of his eyes. He took a nce towards the bathroom, and then decided to walk to the bag, slowly squatting to open the zipper. Inside was a Camera LSR in addition to a simple wallet. Besides the wallet, there was another unrecognizable bag.

    When Ivanov was just about to take a look, he then heard a sudden buzzing sound. He put the other bag into his hand and started to walk towards the source of the noise, which turned out to be a cell phone.

    ¡°Chen Yang?¡± Ivanov understood Chinese and the caller ID on the screen showed someone named Chen Yang.

    Seeing that the phone¡¯s vibration wasn¡¯t stopping, Ivanov¡¯s finger tapped the screen, and connecting the call. He hadn¡¯t even started to speak when, when the other side, the voice of a worried young man began to talk.

    ¡°Uncle, are you already on board? I have called you all day, why aren¡¯t you answering? Are you okay?¡± The man rapidly spoke, revealing an anxious and worried mood.

    Ivanov almostughed out loud, but his eyes shed with a trace of maliciousness. Answering in fluent Chinese whileughing, he said, ¡°Are you looking for Chen An? Sorry, right now he¡¯s bathing so he can¡¯t answer the phone. If there are any problems you can just tell me.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡­ who are you? Uncle?¡± The other side seemed surprised that the one who answered the call wasn¡¯t Chen An.

    ¡°Eehmm ¡­ I am ¡­ I¡¯m your uncle¡¯s best friend. He drank with me today, and he¡¯s in my bathroom right now.¡± Ivanov spoke some words that could be easily misunderstood, while at the same time asking him a question. ¡°What are you to An?¡±

    An? He was calling him so familiarly!

    On the other side, Chen Yang was a little surprised and took a moment to react to this weird man who called his uncle, ¡°An.¡± ¡°Chen An is my uncle, give the phone to him, I want to confirm his safety!¡± Even though he had never seen Ivanov, deep down in his heart, Chen Yang didn¡¯t like this strange man who was currently talking with him.

    ¡°Tsk tsk, this little friend here has no courtesy at all. I have said again and again that your uncle is bathing in my bathroom so how can he talk to you? Okay, okay, I¡¯ll tell An to answer your call.¡±

    Ivanov didn¡¯t have the energy to continue talking to someone he didn¡¯t know. Even though the other side who was calling seemed to be young, but he wasn¡¯t his taste at all.

    Hearing the sounds in the bathroom stop, Ivanov directly cut off the call, casually holding the off button and shoving the phone back into Chen An¡¯s bag before closing the zipper. Ivanov then turned his body and went back, leisurelyying himself on the bed again like nothing had happened.

    A ¡°click¡± could be heard along with the opening bathroom door and a wet haired man walked out from the inside.

    Chen An closed the bathroom door, taking a light nce at Ivanov, who also looked at him with an interested gesture. Ivanov then waved his hand and said, ¡°are you already sober?¡±

    ¡°En. I¡¯m going home now.¡± Chen An was clearly awake after taking a bath and now felt a little hungry.

    ¡°After making other people worked up with worry, how can you just go home like that? Take a seat for a while.¡± Ivanov smiled and patted the empty space beside him on the bed.

    Chen An frowned, telling Ivanov that hisst move could make people easily misunderstand the request. Not being able to hold it in any longer, Ivanov startedughing. With an exaggerated expression on his face, he spoke. ¡°You don¡¯t think I¡¯m interested in you, right?¡±

 Chapter 26 part1

    Showing that expression like "you and i? How could that be? More or less, he was clearly making that expression of looking down on people.

    Slowly snort ''Humph!'' Chen An also couldn''t fell for someone like Ivanov, this narcissistic guy that makes people feel annoyed. But aside of it, he have to find a way to make Ivanov get out of the room, so that Ding Sheng will owe him a favor.

    Chen An walked away and grabbed his bag, then he looked up his head and said to Ivanov: "do you want to go to my room?"

    This kind of question could easily create misunderstanding to other people, especially to Ivanov as after he heard that kind of talk, it easily makes people who heard it treated it like it was a suggestive invitation.

    Even though Ivanov have "satiated" before, and Ivanov himself did not feel that he could have any desires to this mediocre man, but towards theing invitation "send me back", he suddenly felt that there is something wrong with his heart as it couldn''t calm down. He also could smell that the floating air near him was full of the bath fragrance (soap smell) which truly smells good.

    "I don''t mind sending you back, in order to avoid you suddenly get drunk again halfway to your room." Speaking of the exceptionally forced reason, Ivanov smiled and then stood up and walked of the bed.

    Such that the indifferent and cold disy before this is all put out? This man called Chen An, it was hard after his bankruptcy andck of money that''s why he wanted to seduce him? If it was like that, then Ivanov doesn''t mind to asionally eat other meat as changing the taste was also not that bad.

    With the thought of Chen An seduced him because of money, Ivanov felt rxed, what he didn''tck the most is money. He didn''t mind as he felt like there is a lot of man who is like Chen An.

    Feeling excited, he quickly followed Chen An and left the room. There were also two professional bodyguards who moved along to follow the two of them, wherever Ivanov went, they will follow him.

    Chen An''s room may not be the best in the cruise, but it''s also not the worse. But it was obviously smallerpare to Ivanov room that has living room and balcony.

    People who have cruise travel all knew that people who stay in a room like that were very rare when they are travelling by cruise like this. Everyone''s rooms were all small, as room with balcony has nearly doubled price than the usual one.

    "Come in."

    Chen An opened the door and told Ivanov to go in, then randomly put his bag on the chair beside him, the room was not that big, but all things that was needed was there, not only this, outside there was also a small balcony.

    "Feels like a bird cage".

    From birth until now, Ivanov has never lived in such a room as small like this, even the bathroom in his home was bigger than this room.

    Ivanov nced randomly around the room while following Chen An to go in. As the door was closed, these two bodyguards consciously stood in front of the door and acted like a door God.

    Note: Because this chapter is rather long, i will divided it into part 1 and 2. I will try to update the second partter, if i can¡¯t then i will post it tomorrow in the afternoon. ??

 Chapter 26 part2

    "This room is too small. I can ask someone to change it into arger room." He almost blurt out, "not as good to live with me", really crazy, how could he said something like that! How could he let other people share his bed!

    "It''s okay." Chen An slowly pinched still some of his sore brows, taking a purified bottle of water in his room, opened it and drank two gulp of it. Ding Sheng should has already been out of Ivanov'' room already.

    "Don''t say that, actually you shouldn''t be so polite." Ivanov leaned against the door and looked at the man''s back, andpared to some of the Ukranian''s male model that he has yed with before, Chen An''s body is not top-notch, not even could be said good. But it looked a little chubby, seemed to feel that it looks good.

    Clearly he has already been satiated enough, but at this time Ivanov''s heart be restless, he licked his tongue and was trying put his hand towards Chen An''s to touch his back.

    "What are you doing?" After Chen An feels that creepy touch in his body, he turned his body and saw Ivanov''s handing towards him.

    Chen An''s reaction slightly surprised Ivanov for a moment. He looked doubtfully at him and as he wanted to open his mouth, suddenly Chen Anughed and took the opened purified bottle of water and handed it to Ivanov''s hand while asking: "Do you want to drink it?"

    "yeah, hahaha, luckily there is something to drink." Ivanov smiled stiffly, opened the bottle and casually took two gulps. "You asked me to go to your room, not only to ask me to drink this mouth water right?" (I don''t really understand the meaning of ''mouth water'' but I think it''s because he also drank the same water and bottle from Chen An?)

    "I am just curious on what is the reason you are willing to waste your time to be with me as someone like you who casually order bodyguard must be someone who is extremely valuable. But instead you always said it is because I look a lot like someone who you know, is that person is very important to you?"

    The main goal was to deceive Ivanov to go out the room, but trying to ask Ivanov on how he saw him from the third point of view was also important.

    "You ask me toe here is all to ask this? Only this?" Ivanov narrowed his eyes slightly, didn''t nning to answer Chen An''s question.

    Foolishly alike, Chen An turned to ask: "then what do you want to do?"

    Chen An believed that man likes Ivanov who was ustomed to men like him, should have immediately been cklisted, and from then on will not pay any attention to this as he was an ordinary man.

    This was good, but in fact Ivanov actually grinned at him, "Are you ying foolish? You, Chinese, have an old saying ''in order to capture, one must let loose'' isn''t that so?"

    ÓûÇÜ¹Ê×Ý: ''in order to capture, one must let loose''. I found that it means you have to loosen it first to better grasp it, so it is kind of ying hard to get.

 Chapter 27

    Last chapter for the week ¡ª Happy holidays everyone ~(^.^)~

    ying hard to get? Something that clearly doesn''t needed.

    Chen An couldn''t help but to narrowed his eyes, he looked suspiciously at Ivanov gaze, from the other side he faintly caught some seriousness underneath the man''s cold blue eyes. Right now, based on his identity and position, of course to stir up trouble with Ivanov wasn''t a good idea.

    "I didn''t think that I could fascinate you to stay." Chen An felt doubtful as he pointed himself and said "This kind of appearance, braces, and sses, are you certain that I encourage you by ''ying hard to get'' with you?"

    Of course Chen An won''t underestimate himself, these words were no more to be said to Ivanov to listen to. But of course at the same time, he was a little surprised as he thought that Ivanov was close to him only because he and "Chen Zhang An" is simr. He never thought of the other side actually has that kind of bad thought to him.

    Was it because this hairy bear likes to eat exquisite food so much so he is started to get curious at other meat?

    "Oh, if you didn''t say it I may have already forgot that you are wearing braces." Ivanov didn''t care whether Chen An was or was not ying hard to get to him or it''s all for something or even if he wanted to shout here at him too, he won''t leave! That''s right, that''s it! He won''t leave!

    "I still haven''t tried to do it in a narrow and small room, but it should be okay."

    This hairy bear from Russia clearly didn''t understand the way to be called ''gentleman'' in Chinese culture. As a child part of fighting nation, Ivanov now was only thinking of ''fighting''.

    Slowly pull of his own shirt cor, Ivanov closed his eyes slowly and smell a faint of bath (soap) fragrance that is floating in the air. He smiled towards Chen An, "I knew that you oncemitted suicide because you were bankrupt, you have the courage to did that, have you never ever thought to stand up to turn rich over again?

    "Could you turn me then?" Chen An felt that the development of this matter wasn''t right at all, especially when Ivanov made the move to untie his shirt button, as he saw it he immediately felt danger.

    Right now he is alone and even with trying to fight single-handed with Ivanov, he couldn''t fight off this strong bear alone. Truly a bad situation, it looks like Ivanov really want to do him tonight!

    "I am such a generous man. I guess you understand what I mean by it. It''s such a shame, for 30 years old you have suppressed your own sexual orientation, isn''t that very ufortable? Come here baby, I will make you feelpletely liberated."

    Ivanov''s has already reached thest button of his shirt and started to slightly remove his shirt to show his strong and robust bronze skin as a result of sunbathing on the beach.

    From Ivanov''s words, Chen An knew that this hairy bear has already thoroughly investigate him. Seeing that the result of the diet and other alterations that he has was so big as if he looked that Chen An under the pain during the years before really decided to take care of himself, then it would be unlikely that until now he is still a man!

    "You misunderstood my meaning"

    Chen An involuntarily took a step back, Ivanov talked intimately and making actions that made him feel worried and nervous. Even though he was no longer in the Chen Zhang An situation back then but the trauma that is left by Lu Feng still existed until now.

    He didn''t like that kind of thing, it made him bitter, hate, and even loathe anyone who touched him. He will feel nausea and even a little bit of fear. His body also involuntarily betrayed him as it couldn''t escape Ivanov''s two eyes as he be slightly tense and panic. This kind of thing also revealed clearly as it didn''t look like an act.

    However, to a man including Ivanov, the feeling of resistance which emanate from the heart made him felt even more excited. Obviously from the start, he couldn''t believe that he was interested to this kind of ordinary man, but now he became more and more excited.

    As Ivanov was someone who tend to go along with whatever he likes, didn''t care whether Chen An wasn''t like his usual taste or not, didn''t care if it was because Chen An and that old fox was simr or not, right now he only wanted to listen to his own desire and hoping to have intimate rtions with this man.

    "I don''t intend to sell myself in return of money." This incident made Chen An to have other perspectives and soon he was able to calm down himself. The nervousness and fear was all gone.

    Ignoring the domineering look from Ivanov''s eyes, Chen An pointed his finger at the door andmanded: "Get out!"

 Chapter 28

    "Are you kidding me?" Ivanov saw that Chen An''s eyes was looking like a fools, he smiled and said: "I can give you money, enough money where you can even buy this tanker. You know, this kind of good news wasn''t something that you can encounter every day. You should actually thank me for my generosity."

    "Let see, you only need to pay at a very small cost while then your bad life couldpletely change. Not to mention that if you looked at me, not only I''m handsome but I am also an excellent man, so don''t be silly."

    These remarks if it were told to everybody, they all will feel it was extremely attractive. Even so, Chen An was not ordinary.

    "I will say it once again, LEAVE MY ROOM!" Chen An started to entuate his tone, gave serious look and his face even brought up some kind of invisible majestic presence. The imposing manner that was hard to describe as in the moment it was like a pot of cold water sshed into Ivanov''s head.

    "You really are not cute at all, An." The mirth in his eyes changed into dangerous cold. Then Ivanov smiled coldly, didn''t say any words, turned his body and immediately left Chen An''s room in rage.

    Chen An felt slightly relieved, even though Ivanov is now a hairy crazy bear, but deep down felt that it only ended up in this situation today was also because he is a smart person.

    Ivanov will cause trouble to himself because of a person like him, at least won''t be in this cruise ship.

    Chen An then turned his body and sit down in the bed, thinking that he has provoked Ivanov, which clearly wasn''t a good thing.

    Currently in his powerless situation, if Ivanov wants to take revenge on him it will simply be like ''killing an ant'', very easy, or maybe he has to calm down and think clearly on the consequences and his next acts.

    To blindly refused and resisted Ivanov will only make this hairy bear mad, Ivanov has hundred thousand ways to torture him. Chen An has never been so stupid to the point ''to strike a stone with egg''. Once he taught about it, words that the young man has just said to him, all was such a mess.

    Chen An''s mouth slowly raised sarcastically, he clearly didn''t know when he himself became so attractive, in his previous life there was a Lu Feng, now it could be said that there was an Ivanov?!

    He only wish for Ivanov to truly be good to him then it''s all fine, but then behind him in the past and present all want little sweets to eat, yet right now he is turned around and yed by him.

    "Knock! Knock! Knock!"

    Outside the door sounded a burst of rapid knock on the door, Chen An drooping eyes and mood was starting to calm down as he could guess who ising, then he went forward to open the door.

    Surely, it was Ding Sheng that stood outside the door, tensely looked at him: "Uncle Chen, are you okay?"

    After Ding Sheng seed to came out, he quietly ran to Chen An''s front door, where he saw Ivanov''s bodyguards were guarding outside the door, so he could only anxiously stood and watched far away while taking a look. If Ivanov was not going toe out soon, he will find ways to get in.

    Seeing that Ivanov''s face wasn''t well when he stride out leaving the room, Ding Sheng immediately hurried over to go in, fear that something bad has happened to Chen An.

    "I''m okay." Even though Chen An said that, his face showed the opposite of being fine.

    He hinted Ding Sheng to enter the room, as the door was closed, turned to ask: "Ding Sheng, how could you get into Ivanov''s room? You wouldn''t be a thief right?"

    As he heard Chen An''s question, Ding Sheng didn''t know how to exin himself for a moment, so he asked instead: "Uncle, do you and Ivanov know each other?"

    He didn''t really need to conceal this as Chen An''s knew that his currrent identity is clear and clean. Thus, Chen An said: "We met each other on the ne before, didn''t think that we will once again meet on this cruise ship and drinking together. However my drinking capacity is not good, one ss and I got drunk, when I woke up I saw you in Ivanov''s room."

    "Ah, so that''s the reason." Ding Sheng finally seems relief. He then notice that Chen An is looking suspiciously at him, he couldn''t help but smile, "Uncle, you really don''t think that I am a thief right?"

    "Then why are you in other people room in the middle of the night?" Chen An then follows the y.

    "Uncle, the reason why I never told you my job before is because of my identity is rather special." After hesitating for a while, Ding Sheng thought as he has privately investigated Chen An, and this man in front of him is really an ordinary person, has never ever done anything bad in his life, so there isn''t anything to be concealed. Moreover, Chen An has just helped him before.

    "My identity is actually in fact an international police. This time I was ordered to investigate Ivanov. His identity is not simple. Uncle Chen, next time you must avoid him and don''t get too close to him."

    Ding Sheng couldn''t tell Chen An too much about Ivanov, so he could only gave him some advice.

 Chapter 29

    Well ¡­ from here on the story will show its appeal that you guys want so here we go >.<

    Chen An naturally ''knows'' Ding Sheng''s identity, he has seen the other credential then said: "So it''s like that. No wonder I felt that that guy called Ivanov feels weird."

    "However uncle, why would he invite you to drink??" Ding Sheng curiously asked, "Ivanov''s character is entric as he is rarely would takes initiative to contact someone who have no rtions to him."

    "I remember what he has said before, I am somewhat simr to someone that he knows, I guess this is the reason." Seeing Ding Sheng seemed to still has something he wanted to ask, Chen An showed an extremely tired look and said "I am a little tired, if there I something that you want to ask, just say it tomorrow."

    "En, well then have a good rest Uncle Chen, I wille back again tomorrow."

    Even though Ding Sheng still has some things he wanted to ask, but looking at Chen An''s unrefined appearance, it was also not good to ask anymore, after exhorting something he then leave.

    Chen An pinched his sore eyebrows, even though the dizziness brought by drunk still hasn''tpletely dispersed and after all he has just woken up, Chen An couldn''t hold it any longer and thus immediately fall asleep.

    As Chen An is leaning down in the bed, he suddenly thought something. He then brought and opened his bag to confirm that his bag of diamonds hasn''t been opened by somebody else. He felt relieved.

    nced at the phone beside him, Chen An took it and saw that the phone was actually turned off. After he pressed the power button, it immediately appeared several reminders such as missed calls and text messages, while without exception they were all from Chen Yang

    After hesitating for a while, when Chen An was wondering whether to call back to Chen Yang or not, the phone rang, Chen Yang called.

    "Hello." Chen An pressed the answer button.

    [Uncle! Are you okay? Just then there was a weird man who answered the call, but afterwards the call was cut off and calling you was ¡­¡­ ]

    On the other side, Chen Yang hasn''t finished what he wanted to say, Chen An interrupted him and said: "I''m okay. Later on if there is not something important there''s no need to call me, you just need to study well. I''m going to sleep now. Chen An felt quite impatient and then quickly hung up the phone.

    Far away in Shang Hai, Chen Yang saw his phone that had been cut off in stop, he still hasn''t really said anything and just hung up by Chen An, his heart inevitably felt some frustration. He was only worried about Chen An.

    He always felt that since Chen Ane back home from the hospital, he was given apletely different feeling. But it was never be hate. However, as long as Uncle doesn''t have any problem then it is okay, as for that weird man who answered the phone, perhaps maybe he was only his uncle friend.

    Chen Yang unconsciously clenched his phone, his heart was inexplicably fretful, he took a deep breath then run to the bedroom, took out all clothes that was wore by Chen An. Then he started to wash the clothes inside the bathroom.

    Before he put the clothes into the water, Chen Yang slowly bowed down his head, gripped his hands and started sniffing the clothes used by Chen An. All his clothes didn''t has the usual man''s sweat smell and since Chen An was someone who paid attention to hygiene, when Chen Yang was beside Chen An sometimes he could smell a faint scent.

    It was different and didn''t feel the same like the smell his girl ssmates, it also didn''t feel the same like the smell of shower gel in the bathroom, but he felt that his smell was very good, faintly good.

    Chen Yang buried his own face into Chen An''s clothes, sniffing the faintly smell that remained in the clothes, and it gave him an illusion like seeing the Sunshine Coast, yet it also made him feel like he was snuffing into Chen An''s real neck as he was snuffing Chen An''s clothes cor. He felt his lips was rubbing that man''s light slippery neck while his cheek asionally feeling a little bit prick and itch by Chen An''s shaved hair.

    "What am I doing ¡­"

    After he realized it, his hand that was holding Chen An''s clothes was drop into basin filled with water, the recovered Chen Yang couldn''t believe what he was thinking and expected as just now he actually enjoyed the warmth and smell that left behind in Chen An''s clothes.

    The panicked and lost Chen Yang then busily put in theundry into the basin and started to vigorously washed Chen An''s clothes. He didn''t even dare to think what he has just done just now.

    Maybe tomorrow he should go and see Xiao Mei, correct, go to Xiao Mei.

    At the same time on how he thought about it, he felt a strange guilt lingering from the beginning to the end in his heart, which couldn''t disappear for a long time.

 Chapter 30

    Hhmmm ¡­ as i am lonely and can¡¯t sleep and bored and have nothing to do so ¡­ here the NEW YEAR BONUS from me ^-^

    Happy New Year, hope everything will go well in 2018! ×£ÄãÃÇÐÂÄê¿ìÀÖ! ??

    As Chen An could sleep well in the room, he felt a lot better in the next day, while at the same time promise in the heart that afterwards he absolutely wouldn''t drink more than half of the ss when he went drinking.

    After taking morning shower in the bathroom, he heard knocking sound as he was just done to wear his clothes.

    Could it be Ivanov? Nah, it could not be him. ording to his understanding towards Ivanov, Ivanov absolutely wouldn''t take the initiative to find someone who is ''an ordinary man'' early in the morning even if Ivanov felt something to him, this ordinary man.

    "Who" Chen An used the towel to wipe his hair and then walked towards the door.

    "Uncle, it''s me."

    After he heard this familiar voice, Chen An opened the door, and outside stood a waiter who is pushing the dining cart. But Chen An could immediately recognized the waiter as this waiter was none other than Ding Sheng.

    "How did you be a waiter?" Chen An couldn''t hold hisughter, Ding Sheng who wore his cruise uniform looked pretty handsome, sure enough his young age is also good, and regardless of what he wore he was still handsome.

    Ding Sheng smiled, pushing the dining cart into Chen An''s room, and at one side closed the door "Uncle Chen, you still haven''t eat breakfast right? Let''s eat together while we talk.

    "Sure." Just in time to help free Chen An not to go to the dining hall.

    The two enjoy eating the breakfast together, if it was from Chen An''s previous life, this scene absolutely wouldn''tever happened. Not to mention about eating together, he was afraid that even just meeting Ding Sheng, the other truly couldn''t hold to immediately sent him to the prison and sentenced him for life.

    Secretly smiled, Chen An enjoys the feeling of trust by the international police that once he the old self was persistently pursued of.

    While eating Ding Sheng talked to Chen An, right now he couldn''t reveal his identity, so he used the identity of a waiter to contact Chen An, as he was afraid Ivanov might found that he knew Chen An, and that it might invite trouble to Chen An.

    "Uncle Chen, after you leave this cruise travel, please bear in mind to not have any contacts with Ivanov, that man is not someone who you could offend, however if he tricks or provokes you , you could just give me a call, and I''m going to make him pay!" Ding Sheng''s felt guilty in his heart, if it wasn''t because of himst night, Chen An wouldn''t annoyed Ivanov.

    "However Uncle Chen, can you simply tell me on why Ivanov leave in anger out of your roomst night?" Actually until now, Ding Sheng still full of doubt, especially when someone like Ivanov unexpectedly actually let Chen An to take him out of the room.

    If in the past their spies have half of Chen An''s skill, might not continuously couldn''t handle and catch Ivanov.

    "I only ask him whether he wants to go to my room or not, and he agreed to it." What Chen An said was the truth, he finished drink his juice and said with a smile, "Don''t worry, I am just a small figure, thatrge figure of Ivanov will not try to make it difficult to someone ordinary like me."

    No need to tell everything to Ding Sheng, Chen An already have his own n.

    "Ding Sheng, do you still remember what we talkedst time? If we are fated to meet again, I will tell you why I am, a man who went bankrupt can have money to go travelling."

    ¡ª

    Chen An took the napkin and wiped his mouth. When he smiled, a pair of phoenix eye bended beautifully, under the oblique sun from the balcony, while at the same time it prated a new clean ocean smell as it surrounded his body and form a thinyer of translucent faint.

    "AH?" Ding Sheng was a little surprised for a moment, before he only felt that Chen An is someone who could make one to feelfortable with, but now as he saw that Chen An who was immersed in the middle of the ocean sunlight, it was unexpectedly gives off something that made others in fact could fell a good feeling.

    "Misfortune might be a blessing in disguise, probably God still doesn''t want me to die, I win (got bingo) in the lottery. Even though it may not be a lot of money, but it could give me enough money to pull me out from the abyss."

    Chen An squinted his eyes while smiled: "Actually when I got the bingo I felt that it was an unbelievable, but when I thought about it again, yesterday I was suddenly drinking with someone who has extraordinaryplex identity, and now I am eating with someone who I met in the cinema who turns out to be an international police.

    Ding Sheng heard it and smiled, indeed, if this kind of things was put up in front of ordinary people, it was indeed really weird.

    Chen An chuckled as he saw Ding Sheng who didn''t doubt him at all as he sat in front of him, this world didn''t have that many coincidence, if there was, sometimes besides fate there was calction too in it.

    Such as right now.

    ÈûÎÌÊ§ÂíÑÉÖª·Ç¸£: A loss, but no bad thing happened. It means that there may be a blessing in disguise.

 Chapter 31

    Note: I am considering to add another project when Rebirth of Chen An has reached chapter 50, either normal romance story (but it is twice longer than this novel) or BL again (twice shorter). I want to trante both but ugh i don¡¯t want to give up in the middle as i do both so ¡­ hmm ¡­ confused ¡­ will just see my situationter on.

    So here we go ~~~<hr>

    Didn''t know whether it was because Ivanov seem to notice there is someone who stared at him, or after then he was rejected by Chen An, he didn''t n to waste his time towards the ordinary person anymore.

    Since that night, Ivanov didn''t look for Chen An anymore andter on he could mediocre and calmly spent his two days of leisurely life in the ship.

    Ding Sheng still has his mission, just beside to sent Chen An''s meal to eat, then there wasb no shadow and trance as if he vanished with the air. However Chen An roughly knew that that guy must be gone and tailing Ivanov. Truly is an example of a diligent good cop.

    After arriving in Shang Hai, Chen An then hired a cab and went back to Chen Yang''s rental house. Even though this house was small yet old, after he lived for months it actually could give him a warm feeling.

    Chen An didn''t tell Chen Yang when he will be back, since that day in the phone he had make sure that brat wouldn''t calling him nonstop again, Chen Yang really has never called him again.

    He put the luggage on the sofa and went to his own bedroom, the bedroom before and after which he has left was exactly look the same like there wasn''t anyone has ever slept in it.

    Chen An suddenly started to has a trace of ripples in his heart, how to said it ¡­ that Chen Yang was all along slept in the sofa in the living room?

    Really didn''t understand whether he should say that brat was stupid or being tough? He slept in the living room and he rarely slept in the bedroom, counting to the time that he wasn''t there actually he also didn''t slept in the house.

    Although the cruise ship is good, but it was not as practical as it waspared to thend and also on thefortable and warm the bed.

    Walked in to the room, he saw his shirts and pants that has been washed clean on the bed, Chen An really couldn''t hold back hisughter, Chen Yang really is stupidly cute, all these clothes were ones who he has wore and all were too big, he didn''t n to wear it again, but that brat actually still washed it and even ironed it and gave it to him.

    Very stupid, this stupid brat remained him of his little brother.

    Then he put back his all that oversized shirts and pants into the wardrobe, and heys on the bed, slowly closed his eyes. The bed when he was in the hotel was much more top grade qualitypared to this old bed, but this old bed was actually the one who could give him the feeling. Unknowingly, he quickly fell asleep.

    Yet didn''t know how long he has slept, as between in his semi consciousness, Chen An seemed to heard two people who are talking outside the house.

    "Chen Yang, I heard that you and your uncle live together, didn''t he go bankrupt, have debt, and thenmitted suicide? You must hurry and make him leave your house, couldn''t always let him to continuously rely to live with you here.

    It sounds like a female voice. You could obviously hear an unsatisfied mood in her words.

    "Xiao Mei, how could you say that?!" Chen Yang seemed to have the energy as, "Have you forget? Before, when my uncle came to visit me, he gave you a phone, he is my uncle, whether he is rich or not, he is still my uncle."

    "I know you have a good heart, but you also have to think it again, right now you are just able to support your own life and in the future you want to support your uncle? The cost every time your uncle went to the hospital to do checkup, how much have you pay?" The girl sighed, she turned and used yful indirect tone and said, "Since you take your uncle to your home, you said then, for how long haven''t you bought me clothes or haven''t you ask me to go to the cinema?!"

    Chen Yang didn''t sigh, the girl continued and said: "Damn, anyway, you say! Do you choose me or you uncle?! You are the one who decide it!"

    Chen An couldn''t help but to lift up his ear, he also wanted to hear how Chen Yang would choose. Even though he felt that vast majority of people, as a normal man, between girlfriend and uncle, mostly people will still choose the person that they love. (¡ª which is their own girlfriend/boyfriend)

    "Go away!" Chen Yang suddenly said that two words.

    "What? Cheng Yang, what did you say?" The girl seemed to never ever expect that Chen Yang would make her left like that, she couldn''t help to increase her voice, "Chen Yang, you say it once again?!"

    "Let''s breakup, I feel like we are not suitable at all." The words that came up from Chen Yang was surprisingly calm, very calm even showed a trace of coldness.

    "You, you are simply crazy! Chen Yang, I tell you, don''t regret these words that you have just said today!"

    "I''m not going to regret it, just go."

    *sounds of crashing*

    Apanied by a violent burst of the door''s ring, then the house was attributed by a silence.

    Chen An got up from the bed, slowly walked into the bedroom door, and was going went towards the living room, while at the same time Chen Yang was dazing while standing alone in front of the door. Looked at that young man handsome and slightly immature face, Chen An''s heart was suddenly moved, couldn''t resist as he slowly shouted the other''s name, "Chen Yang."

    At first as the dazing young man heard that familiar voice he still hasn''t reacted, he thought it was his own hallucination as he hasn''t saw Chen An for many days, until he saw the man out of the room and found the man who walked towards and looked past him, then he slowly started to react.

    "Stay, what happened?" Chen Anughed.

    "Uncle, is it really you?" Finally the dazing young man suddenly revealed a brilliant smile, before in a swept of the haze, he was suddenly enlightened.

    Seemed like he couldn''t believe that Chen An was backed, all of a sudden Chen Yang reached to fully embraced the man in front of him, he rubbed himself while he embraced him. After verifying that the man wasn''t hallucination he shouted out happily said: "Uncle, I was afraid that you won''te home!"

 Chapter 32

    So sorry if it is confusing when you read it? ~~~ My brain couldn¡¯t really function well these days >.<<hr>

    Chen Yang''s reaction make him amused, as Chen An was now bankrupt there are those who can''t bear to Chen Yang to give it way.

    "Uncle, why do you be so thin ¡­" he said in distressed as Chen Yang rubbed himself on when he looked at the back of the man.

    "Do you want me to turn into a fat man?" Chen An pushed his body out of Chen Yang, didn''t ask at all about the question that he has heard just now, "Let''s go, let''s go out and eat."

    "Sure uncle!" Chen Yang could not be happier to hear that and said, "Two days ago I just got employed, uncle, I will treat you, just say what do you want to eat."

    "You are going to treat me?" Chen An''s eyebrows suddenly went up and harbor a little bit of bad intentions, he whispered, "Well, you can''t break these words you have just said."

    "But before that, you must change your clothes first." Chen An swipe his eyes towards Chen Yang''s body who dressed up like the standard university students and couldn''t help but to shake his head, "I''m going to help you do a mix-match."

    All clothes in Chen Yang''s wardrobe are very convenient, when he thought about it Chen Yang doesn''t really pay attention on what he wears, he also only has several clothes. His hairstyle is also really simple. He spoke to Chen An, it won''t work if his nephew looked like this, however today they didn''t have any time to go shopping in the mall.

    "Take off your shirt and pants." Hemanded that as Chen An open the wardrobe to look over it.

    "AH??"

    "If you have take off your shirt and pants, then wear this."

    Chen An was pondering on what should Chen Yang looks good on, although the young man who was handsome will look good on whatever he wore, but he still need to look a little formal. Finally, what Chen An turned to and chose for Chen Yang to wear was a brand-named suit, no need to know for what has been given by the past Chen An before bankrupt was.

    The clothes looked neat and clean, it was something that Chen Yang has never worn even once.

    "These clothes ¡­" Chen An turned his body and took the suit, he saw that Chen Yang in front of him was stunned all of a sudden and suddenly loudly eximed, "Why do you stripped?!"

    Finding that Chen An was ring at him, Chen An feel embarrassed and use his two hands to cover up his little brother and said: "Uncle, don''t just say take off my shirt and pants ¡­."

    Chen An was suddenly speechless, he didn''t even make this brat to take off all his clothes until not one was left right?

    However ¡­ Tsk Tsk Tsk!

    This Cheng Yang clearly grew up well, his height could be said tall, his leg could be said long, what ce that should be big was big, all was really good.

    "Why are you stunned? Hurry up and wear the clothes!" Chen An suddenly was in little bit bad mood, he directly tamped the clothes to Chen Yang''s body.

    Clearly he is a man too, how could it be so much different.

    Why he wasn''t fortunate in his rebirth? Being rebirth in the body of a fat man, the body part that should grow was unexpectedly full of fat, the body part that shouldn''t grow was vigorously grow, he must ate vegetarian every day, and insisted it for months then finally could make his figure to be close to the normal standard.

    Hearing Chen An roared at Chen Yang and busily dressed him up, this top grade suit was one that he wore in the same year when he came to Shang Hai to do the entrance university test, where Chen An bought it customized specially for him, he almost never wore it again.

    "Uncle, are we going to eat western food?" Chen Yang asked while he is trying to wear the tie.

    "You couldn''t tie it?"

    It was a good suit but then why he felt it wasn¡¯t suitable for blind dates when it was wore by Chen Yang? Chen An seized the tie and raised up the corner of his eye to look at Chen Yang''s ordinary hairstyle in dissatisfaction.

    Even though this man''s body has changed a little bit, his habit that was rooted deep in the bones was very hard to be changed, for example Chen An still like to raised up his eyebrows, every time he was doing something he will make the person beside him felt worried, Chen Yang isn''t the exception.

    "You really need to go to get a haircut."

    He started tob Chen Yang''s hair into back, afterwards there is a simple change, and the originally slightly immature young man was unexpectedly turned into somehow mature taste.

    Chen An was proud of his own work, at first Chen Yang''s growth was not bad, he only need to be dressed up a little bit and there he is a handsome boy, he was assessing that after a few years of sharpening in the society, Chen Yang could then be a handsome yet mature young man.

    After he made Chen Yang wait for him outside his house, Chen An then changed his own clothes. Since his rebirth, this is the first time he wore a suit, particrly this custom made suit was something that he ordered someone to make a couple of months before ording to his new size. It was only because of his new figure as he couldn''t wear the old one again.

    Nowadays his overall figure was getting better, clothes he wore just now was good, even though his figure still couldn''t count as perfect, he still couldpletely hidden what he iscking for. As Chen Yang''s uncle, even though Chen An didn''t grow as handsome as his nephew, but at least his height and long legs was there. After he went diet, he looked quite pleasing to the eye, as he also have clean temperament.

    After he has changed his clothes, he walked out and stared at Chen Yang who was waiting in the living room. Clearly Chen An was only being thinner, but why was the before phase seems more than like it changed the whole person?

    His temperament was no longer the same, simr face but could give different feeling, especially after his lost his weight, he felt that the fatness before has thoroughly disappeared. Right now, Chen An looked like an ink painting, there isn''t any oil painting which looks so colorful, yet really showed a clear and handsome temperament.

    "What are you dazing about? Let''s go." Then he wore the sses that were fitted on the bridge of the nose while at the same time Chen An was pondering at his heart whether he should just wear contact lenses or not.

 Chapter 33

    Hello, this chapter is brought by me and also my new editor ~^.^~

    *p p p* to @Kyaakuma for the hard work, i will also update the edited post from chapter 30. Happy reading ~~~~<hr>

    When he looked over the exquisite menu made of bamboo, Chen Yang''s palms began to sweat. He felt distressed reading the prices listed for each dish on the menu.

    He originally thought the reason that Chen An made him wear a suit because he wanted to dine at a Western restaurant. He didn''t expect Chen An to bring him to a Chinese restaurant that he never been to before.

    They both sat inside a gazebo in the garden, beside them were several young women wearing Han Fu, one was ying the Gu Zheng and the other one was burning incense while boiling tea.<ul><li>Han Fu: the traditional dress of the Han Chinese.</li><li>Gu Zheng: Chinese Zither</li></ul>

    The exquisite chandelier cast a luminous glow in the garden outside the gazeboparable to a pool of moonlight. The fragrance of flowers was light and distant in the night, yet mixed in with this scent was the enchanting smell of an unfamiliar incense.

    The man who sat across from Chen Yang didn''t act like he was out of ce, he seemed to be at ease and was enjoying himself. From time to time he would slowly tap his slender white finger on the table following along with the sound of the Zither, asionally he would rub his rounded fingertip along edge of the blue and white porcin tea cup.

    Under the soft white lighting, the man''s fingers looked like a well-washed scallion, long as well as smooth like jade, it almost seemed translucent. His joint roots looked distinctly like the hands of an artist.

    Chen Yang unconsciously shifted his sight from the frightening prices on the menu to the man''s fingers. Clearly, this wasn''t the first time he saw Chen An, but he only just now realized how nice looking his uncle''s fingers were, he didn''t know that a person could change so much after slimming down.

    Aside from the changes in his body shape, there was an even greater change in his temperament.

    "A te of lettuce with sesame paste, a crystal tofu ¡­" Chen An flipped through the menu, ordering several vegetable dishes that he liked. He lifted his head from the menu and looked across the table at the young man who frequently stole nces at him, "Chen Yang, order some dishes."

    "You can just order whatever you want to eat uncle, it''s up to you." Chen Yang said with a smile, he was inwardly rejoicing the fact that he remembered to take his credit card with him when he left home, he could still afford this meal.

    "Okay then." After some thought, Chen An also ordered several meat dishes for Chen Yang.

    Once he finished ordering the dishes, Chen An waved his hand to signal the waiter beside him to leave temporary. Although the sound of the Zither had stopped, the tea fragrance still lingered. [He took the teacup and blew slowly on the tea leaves floating at the surface of the cup. It was an ordinary action, yet when Chen An did it, it seemed incredibly beautiful.

    In between his trance, Chen Yang almost thought that he was watching a movie and that Chen An was a grand master in those Republic of China movies.

    "Is this the first time you came here?" Chen An randomly asked.

    "En." Chen Yang nodded.

    "How do you feel about this ce then?"

    "It''s very beautiful. There is also a nice ambiance although the prices here are expensive." Chen Yang replied honestly, he really wanted to advise Chen An to not toe here again, wasn''t it the same to eat elsewhere?

    After all, Chen An was broke so he couldn''t extravagantly spend his money like before. He wasn''t afraid that Chen An would spend his money, he only wanted him to consider the long term.

    Chen An broke into a smile when he heard Chen Yang''s honesty. He narrowed his phoenix eyes as he propped one arm on the wooden table and gazed intently at Chen Yang. When he focused his fiery eyes on Chen Yang, Chen Yang''s face started to turn a little red.

    "Have you ever considered your future?" Chen An moved his eyes to the teacup in his hand, his fingers lightly tapped at the edge of the teacup.

    Chen Yang felt weird as he stared at the teacup, it seemed like Chen An was tapping his heart instead of the teacup, his heart was pounding

    "Next year, I will be a third-year student, so I am nning to start an internship at apany, after I graduate from university I want to apply for graduate school in America, but don''t worry uncle, if you don''t want to go back home or if you don''t want to stay by yourself in Shanghai, you cane to America with me." Chen Yang practically said it without thinking.

    "Go to America?" The corner of Chen An mouth raised, "You are still want to support me in the future?"

    "By that time, I could apply for a schrship and I can also work in my spare time¡­"

    "But I don''t want that kind of life." Chen An leaned back against the chair, his jaws raised slightly as he crossed his legs. He lightly gazed at the young man who sat in front of him. The smile on his face turned into a solemn expression, "Chen Yang, do you want to seed?"

    Chen An pointed beside him and said: "You don''t need to work part-time, when you look at menus you don''t even have to consider the price when you order, women will endlessly flock to you and you can move from your shabby apartment to the most luxurious apartment building in Shanghai. You could spend as much money on anything you wanted."

    "Uncle, what are you saying?" Chen Yang slightly frowned.

    "You only need to tell me, what kind of life do you want? However, you should know that you will also have to pay an unimaginable price." Chen An quietly waited for Chen Yang''s answer.

    Chen An could tell that Chen Yang was an intelligent young man, but because hecked experience he was obviously still a little immature. Although Chen An could use the funds he hid in the past to live out the rest of his life in leisure, but to choose that kind of life, would he still be the same person who chose earn his living as an international weapon supplier.

    Before he was Chen Zhang An, and now he was Chen An, but he was still himself. Just because his name and body changed, didn''t mean he had to change who he really was.

    He was born a dragon, even if he concealed it, he wouldn''t suddenly turn into a worm.

    Either hepletely cut off all contact with Chen Yang, or make him his child, it could only be these two choices.

    Loyalty, this trait was sometimes even more precious and harder to find than any other talent. Chen An saw this trait in him, and it was because of his loyalty that made Chen An want to help him.

    "Uncle, I ¡­"

    As Chen Yang was hesitating, a man''s surprisedughter suddenly sounded beside him: "Wow, when you''re dressed up like that, I almost couldn''t recognize you, An."

 Chapter 34

    Edited by Kyaakuma ~~

    Chen An didn''t know how their rtionship became like this. Before he died, this kid always liked to cause trouble for him and when he had nothing better to do, he would steal his business.

    Now after his rebirth, Ivanov was popping up everywhere like a ghost. It hasn''t even been for half a year after his rebirth, but he has already met Ivanov four time.

    The first time was at the cemetery, the second was on the ne, the third was on the cruise ship, and now, he just had to meet Ivanov again after offending him on the cruise ship.

    This Chinese restaurant was his favorite ce to dine when he previously came to Shanghai, but when did Ivanov suddenly start liking Chinese food?

    Chen An tilted his head and gazed towards Ivanov who wasn''t that far away from him. When his pair of onyx eyesnded that smiling face, he just knew this guy was up to no good! From the corner of his eye, he also recognized the man standing next to Ivanov.

    Lu Feng!!

    When he frequented this restaurant in the past, he would almost always bring Lu Feng. Ivanov might not have taken the initiative toe here, but Lu Feng would. That obsessive lunatic that imprisoned him before, even after ¡®Chen Zhang An¡¯ had died, he still visits the ces with memories of him.

    After his rebirth, this was the first time he has met Lu Feng up close. Chen An''s hand gripping the teacup tighten. He tried to adjust his breathing, but he couldn''t keep it from speeding up.

    He would never forget Lu Feng''s betrayal towards him, how this traitor imprisoned him on that ind, humiliating him. It was impossible to forget.

    Those unbearable memories and the humiliation afflicted upon his body and mind was like a piece of scalding hot iron, branded in his soul. Even now after his rebirth, he could not forget. He absolutely couldn''t forget!

    "What are looking at darling?" Ivanov started to walk towards Chen An, blocking the view of Lu Feng who was behind him. Although this man had a smile on his face, there was no mirth in his eyes.

    His mouth starting to produce ''tsk tsk tsk'' sounds as he looked at the meticulously dressed Chen An, except for some simrity in his character, how Chen An was dressed now resembled Chen Zhang An quite a bit, the same refine and elegant temperament, the same ¡­. uncontroble thirst that drove him wild.

    "Wow, who is this? Your new lover?" When he saw that Chen An didn''t pay him any attention, Ivanov cast his sight on Chen Yang who was beside Chen An, the hostility in his eyes was rising, as he maliciously ridiculed "I didn''t know you liked men, but an inexperienced kid like that ¡­ can''tpare to a mature man like me!

    "Uncle, who are they?" Chen Yang didn''t know what this man¡¯s rtionship was with Chen An, but he disliked the man¡¯s offensive words. Chen Yang immediately stood between Chen An and Ivanov hiding Chen An behind him.

    "Kid, are you nning to y ''hero saving a damsel in distress''? Tell me, did you already do it with Chen An, hmm?" Ivanov scrutinized the clothes that Chen Yang was wearing, clicked his tongue, before he started tough endlessly, "AH ¡ª¨C it looks like this brat has some spending money, how much money did you pay to get with him?"

    "Don''t say nonsense! Stay away from my uncle, you''re insane!"

    Ivanov''s straightforward and explicit words caused Chen Yang''s heart to beat faster, the other side unexpectedly thought that he and his uncle were ¡­ in that kind of rtionship ¡­

    He should obviously be very angry, but other than anger he also felt kind of excited¡­? Maybe the person going crazy was himself!?

    "Chen Yang, let''s just go." It''s not a good idea to stay here any longer", Chen An stood up and said.

    "Uncle?" Ivanov understood the meaning of this Chinese word, furthermore, this kid and Chen An shared the same surname, then didn''t that mean they were really just uncle and nephew?

    The sharp cold look in Ivanov''s eyes eased up quite a bit. His mood improved as he stepped towards Chen An and grabbed his hand, a smile on his face "Don''t go, An, we still haven''t reminisced about the past."

    "Let go of my uncle!" When he saw this crazy person suddenly grab his uncle''s wrist, he immediately rushed towards Ivanov and vigorously pushed him away.

    Some of the bodyguards beside Ivanov promptly stepped forward to hold Chen Yang down. Chen Yang obviously couldn''tpete with a bunch of trained bodyguard, so the bodyguards directly took advantage and grabbed him. One of them sent a punch towards Chen Yang''s sr plexus, Chen Yang suddenly bent forward as his vision went dark.

 Chapter 35

    Edited by Kyaakuma ~~

    Seeing Chen Yang being beaten trying to help him, Chen An sent several kicks towards the group of burly bodyguards causing them to crash to the ground, this scene not only made Ivanovugh out loud but also caused the indifferent Lu Feng standing on the side, to look over at Chen An.

    "That''s enough Ivanov, release my nephew." Chen An shouted in a low voice. When he looked at Ivanov at that moment, he knew it would be difficult to escape today without a hitch.

    "I really like listening to you call my name, An." Ivanov smiled and waved his hand at his bodyguard on the side pinning Chen Yang down, "Be a bit gentler, if that kid gets injured, my An will be angry with me."

    "Darling, is he really your nephew? How could it be fun to have dinner with your nephew? Wouldn''t it be better to have dinner with me?"

    Ivanov walked step by step towards Chen An, every step closing their distance. The resolute look in his eyes clearly told Chen An that he would not give up unless Chen An humored him.

    "Ivanov" Lu Feng who was beside him called out in an impatient tone.

    "Oh Mr. Lu, if you have other business to attend to then you can leave first since I''m going to be absent from the evening party tonight, so sorry," Ivanov said pointing to Chen An beside Lu Feng with his eyes. Compared to that boring evening party, he would rather y something far more interesting with Chen An.

    Lu Feng didn''t leave, instead, he had some people bring him a chair and simply sat down on the sidelines, "You better be quick."

    "Don''t be so anxious Lu Feng, to celebrate our cooperation, I don''t mind letting you enjoy the show."

    After a burst ofughter, Ivanov moved his sight to Chen An. On the side, Chen Yang who was still being held down suddenly had a bad feeling, before crying out: "Quickly release us, what do you guys want? Waiter! Waiter!"

    "I don''t exactly like noisy situations", Ivanov snapped his fingers and the bodyguards beside him immediately stuffed a piece of cloth into Chen Yang''s mouth.

    Don''t even need to mention waiters, almost all the customers were already driven out.

    "You truly are a narrow-minded man, Ivanov." Chen An nced at the distressed Chen Yang from the corner of his eye before he slowly sat back down on his chair and held up the teacup in his hand.

    "You could say it like that darling, I''m indeed a very narrow-minded man." Ivanov smiled and moved closer towards Chen An. Under the shadow on his face, a pair of still, blue eyes bore into the man in front of him, leaking a dangerous crazed look.

    His voice dropped, as he enunciated each word "Someone that I want, I have never failed to get"

    "How boorish, direct and boring." Chen An sat quietly but didn''t shrink back from the other man''s prating stare, "Ivanov, without your money, you¡¯re just a failure of a man."

    "No, An, I''m actually a reserved, charming and lovable man, of course, this also depends on the other person. They should be someone who makes me feel interested, and they should be worthy enough for me to patiently chase after."

    The implied meaning ¡ª Chen An was basically not worth Ivanov''s time or effort.

    "Let Chen Yang and me go."

    Chen An''s words made Ivanovugh. As he looked at Chen An''s exceedingly calm ck eyes, he found it even harder to restrain the excitement in his heart.

    Even though he said Chen An was someone unworthy of his time and effort, but Ivanov understood clearly in his heart, that the more contact he has with this man, the harder it was to suppress his desire for him.

    This feeling of wanting to subdue him felt like a kitten''s paws were scratching his heart bit by bit.

    Besides his body, he also wanted to conquer his heart.

    It would be boring if someone were so easily won over, Ivanov found pleasure in the chase.

    "I could let Chen Yang and you go." He hooked his lips up into a smile, giving Chen An a mischievous look. The more this man acted aloof, the more he wanted to see the look on his face when he was riled up.

    Ivanov''s eyes flitted pass Lu Feng who was leisurely sipping on wine, resting his eyes on the newly opened bottle of WuLiangYe (Five Grain Liquor) with an alcohol content of 52%. If he remembered correctly, Chen An''s drinking capacity was pretty weak, it could even be considered below average.

    "Drink this." Ignoring the displeased look on Lu Feng''s face, Ivanov took the almost full bottle of white wine and smilingly handed it over to Chen An, "Finish this bottle of wine and I''ll let you guys go."

 Chapter 36

    Edited by Kyaakuma ~~

    What Ivanov regretted the most, was probably that day on the cruise ship when he had carried the drunk Chen An to his room, yet he didn''t even do a single thing to him!

    <strong>The furthest distance in the world</strong>, was not ''I love you, but you didn''t know about it'', but it was while Chen An was showering, he just sat outside the bathroom like an idiot.<ul><li>The original poem could be found </li></ul>

    Stupid, truly stupid!

    He felt regret; it was so regrettable!

    He couldn''t stand living with regrets in his life. As he shook the white wine in his hand, his eyes shone with maliciousness: "I promise, as long as you finish this bottle of wine, I''ll let you guys go."

    Chen An didn''t say another word, he grabbed the wine bottle, tilted back his head, and began chugging. Watching the man gulp down wine as if it were water without hesitation, Ivanov who was beside him was slightly stunned but thenughed. He pped his hands while nodding in praise: "Beautiful, I like it!"

    Chen An was really different from anyone he has ever met before, usually, people would express suspicion and distrust towards him. Although he didn''t know why this man believed his words, to Ivanov, he really liked this feeling of being trusted.

    "Uhmp! Uhmp!¡ª¨C" Chen Yang who was gagged felt furious as he watched Chen An drink the bottle of white wine like his life depended on it. He persistently struggled to stand up, but the bodyguards beside him would press down on him every time he tried to.

    Everything that was happening in front of his eyes dealt a huge blow to Chen Yang, the hands that were being twisted behind his back were clenched into a tight fist. He desperately wanted to do something but couldn''t. He could only watch as Chen An was forced to drink wine in order to save him.

    Unprecedented humiliation and resentment were like an inferno, burning uncontrobly in his heart. His hands were balled up with so much force that protruding veins began to show but Chen Yang was helpless as he stared intently at Chen An drink.

    He couldn''t do anything, he could only watch, he was powerless.

    He has lived for more than 20 years, but this was the first time Chen An saw the cruelty of ''the strong eat the weak'' world, it was the first time but it impacted him deeply. The impact was so deep that he would never forget this event for the rest of his life.

    For the first time in his life he felt the need to be strong, he wanted to be stronger, strong enough so that he and Chen An won''t ever have to suffer today''s humiliation again!

    When his anger reached its peak, surprisingly Chen Yang started to calm down, he didn''t struggle anymore since it was useless to do so.

    He quietly watched everything that happened and silently told himself to firmly remember everything that has happened today in his heart.

    He wanted to remember it in his heart for a lifetime, if they could safely leave this ce today, he will use everything that has happened today to continuously motivate himself to be stronger.

    It''s not that Chen An couldn''t drink, it was just that his constitution changed so now he got drunk easily.

    Regardless, to finish a full bottle of wine wasn''t an easy task. He had drunk half of the bottle, but he already felt like he couldn''t drink anymore.

    His stomach felt like it was on fire, it was burning, feeling immensely sore. He tightly held the wine bottle in his hand, after taking a deep breath, he threw back his head and continued to pour wine down his throat.

    From the time he lived in an orphanage as a helpless orphan, he has already experienced abandonment again right after being adopted. From being a weak child at the bottom of society, even with his lowly existence, he crawled his way up to be a powerful international figure. What kind of pain and suffering has he not endured?

    He knew when to adapt to circumstance, but he also remembered every humiliation that he experienced, like this situation today.

    After his rebirth, he had lost his wealth, his former status. He struggled for 20 some years to earn all his achievements yet everything vanished overnight, drinking the strong alcoholic drink he mourned for the life he had lost.

    He was Chen Zhang An, yet he wasn''t Chen Zhang An. Now he was Chen An, Chen An who had no money, no power, Chen An who had to start everything again from scratch.

    After Chen An had emptied the entire bottle of wine, the front of his clothes was soaked from the spilled wine, and it seemed like his body waspletely swallowed by the alcohol. Soon the alcohol began to take effect, assaulting his stomach with chaotic throbbing.

    Chen An took a deep breath, trying to maintain sobriety but the people and objects in front of him began to blur. There seemed to be so many Ivanov and each watched him with aplex expression. The smirk on his face grew wider, causing Chen An to feel irritated.

    Head feels so dizzy, so lightheaded ¡­..

    He doesn''t like the feeling of getting drunk, everything was spinning.

    His body involuntarily fell backward, but before his back could hit the table, Ivanov stepped forward ordingly and wrapped his arm around his back to stop his fall.

    "I like how intoxicated you look, An." Lowering his head, he smiled as he watched Chen An clutch his stomach ufortably. Ivanov extended his hand to stroke the man''s stomach, while slowly caressing the man''s chest and abdomen over the wet liquor stained shirt, his voice deepened, sounding a bit husky.

    "Does your stomach feel ufortable An?"

    "<strong>Fuck off</strong>!" the thoroughly drunk man''s eyes were cold as he raised his hand towards Ivanov''s face giving him a sounding p across the face.

    The fierce p had left Ivanov slightly stunned before he forcibly grabbed Chen An''s shoulder and pressed him down on the table.

    Some bodyguards turned a blind eye to their boss''s actions, obviously, this wasn''t the first time Ivanov has done this kind of thing.

    Pushed down on the table following the heavy p he gave Ivanov in his drunkenness, he had lost his rationality along with his strength. The difort in his stomach made it hard for Chen An to struggle, so he could only passively endure as Ivanov violently ravaged his mouth with his kiss.

    Ivanov felt like the man lying underneath him was a willful big cat, incessantly using his paws to scratch his body. The way he pushed against him weakly, resisting him as he struggles to escape, made it seem like the man was trying to seduce him instead.

    Chen An wasn''t the first person he had ever kissed and he will not be hisst but this was the first time he has ever lost control when kissing someone, this man was really irresistible.

    Although this man''s body wasn''t perfect or the best looking,this man was really addicting making him crave him more and more.

    This erotic disy left Chen Yang stunned, gaping at this scene, even Lu Feng who was not far away on the side could only stare, taken aback by this live show.

    Clearly, this man was a stranger to him but when he saw this man named Chen An lying beneath Ivanov, Lu Feng couldn''t help tightening his grip on his wine ss.

    An inexplicable sense of difort and an indefinable rage was growing stronger with great intensity, almost reaching the critical point of erupting.

    "Enough, Ivanov!"

    Lu Feng''s shout instantly stopped Ivanov. Ivanov reluctantly bowed his head to quickly nt a light kiss on the man''s lips that were swollen from his biting.

    "I keep by my words." As he nced at the empty bottle at the side, Ivanov straightens up his body and took a deep breath as he tried to calm down his boiling emotions.

    "Let him go."

    Ivanov ordered the bodyguards to let Chen Yang go. No longer restrained, Chen Yang immediately crawled up from the floor and walked a few steps to the table to help up the drunken Chen An. He promptly took off his coat and draped it over Chen An''s body.

    "Take good care of your uncle. When he wakes up, remember to tell me, I wille find him."

    He lightly bit his lips. Ivanov didn''t want to stay here any longer, he needed to leave before he changed his mind.

    "I made you wait, Mr. Lu." Straightening his clothes, Ivanov smiled and then walked to Lu Feng''s side, "Let''s go."

    "You have a terrible hobby." Lu Feng criticized Ivanov and nced at the man who was nestled in Chen Yang''s embrace, without the slightest hesitation, he turned around and left with Ivanov.

    He dedicated a lifetime worth of feelings solely to that cruel and unfeeling man, he couldn''t spare to give any affections to another person in this world.

    He couldn''t, he wouldn''t allow it.

 Chapter 37

    Edited by Kyaakuma ~~

    "Uncle, uncle wake up."

    Chen Yang piggybacked the drunk man all the way home to their apartment. Without even bothering to turn on the lights, Chen Yang directly carried Chen An into the bedroom where he carefully settled him onto the bed. Faint moonlight poured in through the window, softly illuminating his flushed hot cheeks and forehead.

    Chen An waspletely drunk. He unconsciously pressed against his painful stomach while letting out involuntary groans - mmnngh.

    This was the first time Chen Yang saw Chen An so vulnerable and helpless after being discharged from the hospital. When Chen Yang recalled everything that happened, he felt like his lungs were going to burst because of anger.

    Fortunately, there was still some honey at home, so Chen Yang quickly prepared a cup of warm water mixed with honey. He sat on the bed and propped Chen An up, making him lean against his chest, steadily feeding the honey water to Chen An with a spoon.

    When other people were drunk, they would usually vomit or act crazily but Chen An wasn''t like that. Instead, he was adorable and well behaved like a feeble cat, lying quietly in between his arms slowly drinking the honey water spoon by spoon.

    After he finished drinking all the honey water, Chen An looked much better, the asional groans of difort also lessened. Only his face was still flushed red and felt hot to the touch.

    Chen Yang ran to the bathroom and brought back a basin of hot water. When he felt the man''s wet clothes, he nned to help Chen An take off his damp clothes that were stained with wine, but his mind was suddenly brought back to that scene that just happened in the gazebo.

    That blond man named Ivanov kissed Chen An without restraint, he even reached those damn hands wantonly under Chen An''s shirt, groping him all over.

    Chen An couldn''t suppress his anger, but he also couldn''t hold back his indescribable feelings of excitement. He really hated his shameful yet ipetent self. He hated himself for only watching silently on the side unable to do anything. This seed of anger has already been deeply buried in his heart, the toxic roots had been entrenched deeply into his heart, it was incurable.

    "I''m sorry, uncle ¡­ sorry ¡­ sorry ¡­"

    Hot tears rolled down his face, Chen Yang was crying as his hands trembled trying to take off the clothes, he tightly bit his lips. With a wrung hot towel, he slowly wiped the wine stains on Chen An''s body.

    However, when he thought about how Chen An was disgraced and taken advantage of, Chen Yang really wanted to wipe off all traces of Ivanov from Chen An''s body; his white translucent chest soon turned red due to his vigorous wiping.

    Under the warm yellow light, his skin glowed like a rosy white warm jade, emitting a listless yet mystifying luster.

    Chen Yang reached out to help the man wipe his cheeks, inevitably noticing Chen An''s red and swollen lips. His lips were so red, it almost looked like they were bleeding, yet it also seemed like a piece of red-hot iron, burning Chen Yang''s eyes as he stared at them.

    "Damn it! Damn it! I want to kill them both, I really want to kill those Bastards!"

    He gripped the towel with so much pressure, veins were protruding from the back of his hand. Chen Yang clenched down hard on his teeth. Even though his body was like a furnace filled to the brim with hot anger, almost ready to explode, the way he wiped along the man''s lips remained gentle.

    He was his uncle, his Chen An! This man he diligently took care of for so long, was so wantonly shamed like this!

    ¡ª

    In his life, this anger will never be extinguished.

    This hatred will never be forgotten.

    He had no money, no power, except living with endless rage he couldn''t do anything. He didn''t want to live such a humiliating and pathetic life.

    "Uncle, in the future just let me be the one to protect you, okay?"

    Suddenly calming down, Chen Yang''s hands loosened, letting the towel fall to the floor. He sat on the side of the bed watching the man sleep while in a daze, the scene of Ivanov viciously kissing Chen An once again leaped to his mind.

    "This way it''ll be clean¡­"

    He bowed his head and gently kissed the man''s red swollen lips, using the tip of his tongue to lightly lick him over and over again, licking away the alcohol like he was extracting poison, a poison spreading from his lips and tongue throughout his body.

    All the ces that Ivanov had touched and kissed, he needed to ''cleanse'' it thoroughly.

    After he took off Chen An''s clothes and pants, he used a warm towel to wipe down his body. When he was finished, Chen Yang covered the man with a nket and held him tightly in his arms.

 Chapter 38

    Unedited ~~ will post the edited one asap.

    The hangover feeling is very unbearable, even though he has already waken up, but Chen An still trying to close his eyes andy down on the bed as he didn''t want to get up.

    Gently pinched his sore eyebrows, there was still some lightheaded left thus he slowly opened his eyes. Currently this body was except of being healthy,pared to the past there wasn''t any simrity. At least in the past, he wouldn''t get drunk as soon as he drank the wine. But now after getting drunk he was so dizzy and only remembered fragments, so there are lots of things he couldn''t remember.

    Besides knowing that he was kissed by that Ivanov bastard, he didn¡¯t how he could went back home, but when he opened his eyes and saw Chen Yang wasying down on the bed, he knew that it wash Chen Yang who brought him home.

    "Damn it!" Go up and sit on the bed, Chen An''s hands touched his own bitten lips, immediately cursing, what happened yesterday, sooner orter he would make Ivanov pay.

    "Uncle, you woke up?"

    A young man gently pushed the door, saw that Chen An has already sat on the bed, Chen Yang immediately run over to him, carried a bowl of hot porridge in his hand.

    When the sky hasn''t even brighten Chen Yang has already waken up. He sneakily went to the kitchen and didn''t forget to tightly locked the door.

    When the sun hasn''t went up, Chen Yang has been quietly sat and gazing at the man who was lying down on the bed, only for tonight only, followed until the sun was up, the yesterday''s Chen Yang has alreadypletely disappeared.

    His thoughts was slowly pulled back, Chen Yang, seeing Chen An who was drinking the porridge,ter on hand over the empty bowl, his face was expressionless, no resentment, no rage, really quite.

    "Uncle ¡­" seeing the quite Chen An, Chen Yang felt heartache.

    "You still haven''t answered the question I asked you yesterday." Took the tissue to wipe his mouth, Chen An''s brain has been slowly waken up.

    "I don''t want that kind of life, being bullied - the humiliation as I couldn''t do anything." Chen Yang answered in low tone, almost trying to clench his pair of hands at the side, then he bowed his head to constraint the rage he couldn''t quell in his heart.

    "Uncle, I don''t want something like yesterday happened again ¡­"

    That kind of powerlessness, the frustration feeling, the despair, he didn''t want to experience it again. He wanted to be strong, he wanted to protect Chen An, but not to let Chen An protect him instead.

    Chen An didn''t ask much, from Chen Yang''s expression he already knew the determination he had, this is enough.

    The appearance of Ivanov yesterday night gave a big stimtion to Chen Yang, Chen An wanted to see, whether how much was his determination.

    "Pick something,ter on let''s go to somewhere." Lifted the quilt from the bed, Chen An lower his head to see himself in a brand new clothes, this was not the clothes he wore when he was drunk yesterday.

    "You change my clothes?" Chen An was slightly difort as he frowned, silence andmanded ter on no need to do it."

    He didn''t like other to touch him, didn''t care who that person is.

    Chen Yang only nodded to answer him, in his mind he was suddenly thought back yesterday night to the body and lips where the man in front of him was kissed, he swept his eyes to Chen An broken skin and lips, the strength in his hand that was holding the porridge bowl was slightly increasing.

    A stranger''s unusual love was like a virus which silently spread to the ordinary part.

    ¡­

    In his life Chen An only taught two people, the first was his little brother Zhang Le, the second was Lu Feng.

    Now there was Chen Yang, the third person, more or less was also hisst one.

    Chen An didn''t feel like that even God could let him through second rebirth, God himself won''t personally receive him.

    He brought Chen Yang to the residence he bought outside the beach, said a sentence to the doubting Chen Yang: "Don''t ask and don''t care about my problem, you only need to obey me, what I should tell you is what I will tell you, if one day you don''t want to stay by my side then just directly tell me, do you understand?"

    Chen Yang was trying hard to node, but his heart silently vowed, he won''t ever leave Chen An.

    Chen An brought Chen Yang to the study room, then gave Chen Yang some books about ''The Knowledge of Weapon'' and ''The Analysis of International Situation'', some were stacked up like almost half of his height, not only the books in Chinese but also some series in English.

    "This time except going out to school, you should also let me see through all things written in the books, especially about the nature of every weapon and its type, as for your part time job, just quit.¡±

    After randomly exin in a couple of words, Chen An didn''t go to look after Chen Yang, in regards to what he has said just now he maybe will pay more careful attention to Chen Yang.

    After this man had experience being betrayed once, he now has a lot less patience.

    Trial is the good way to make Chen Yang remember ''the knowledge of weapon'' as soon as possible in this short time. After three months he will then give this young man a trial, to see whether or not Chen Yang really suitable to stay with him.

    As for now, he has to build a tradingpany, apany that could be his camouge for his after action.

    To be said, "Chen An", before he went bankrupt he did trading, in return as he now upied "Chen An''s" body, he will substitute "Chen An" to settle that two guy.

 Chapter 39

    To confront Ivanov head-on was clearly seeking death. For a wily old fox like Chen An, who always exacted revenge against those who offended him, how could he live repressing his anger letting the rage suffocate him forever?

    Although he didn''t have the means to teach Ivanov a lesson directly, Chen An also didn''t mind creating trouble for Ivanov behind the scenes, there were numerous ways to do it even if he doesn''t do it personally.

    Weren''t Ivanov and that traitor Lu Feng nning to coborate?

    Tsk, he can''t allow them to coborate.

    For a man who was madly infatuated with him, it was normal for Lu Feng to recognize his style of writing.

    Chen An finished writing his letter, ending thest word of the message with what he thought was the perfect period. His letter only consisted of a few short words: Lu Feng, did you really think I was dead? Please say hello to little Ivan on my behalf.

    The letter was written on kraft paper, a preference he had even in his previous life. After the letter was enclosed within an envelope, he used a red sealing wax to seal the envelope. This custom was how he wrote letters for many years. It was impossible for Lu Feng to not recognize his habit and handwriting after spending so much time by his side.

    He knew Lu Feng would hate the fact that another person''s name was mentioned in the letter, just thinking about his reaction, made him feel amused. It was likely that the cooperation between Lu Feng and Ivanov will soon end. Ivanov will definitely be kept ''busy'' dealing with Lu Feng''s suspicions and questioning.

    This way he could make Ivanov suffer, and he could also temporarily divert that damn hairy bear''s attention away from him. But most importantly, if Lu Feng and Ivanov fought each other and neither side wins, both suffering losses, it would be the best oue for him.

    Chen An tucked the letter into his pocket inside his clothes. Chen An then rose to his feet, walked to the bathroom, and stood in front of the mirror to carefully arrange his hair.

    He had changed to invisible looking bracesst month so wearing them didn''t affect his overall appearance. Most importantly, after the surgery to correct his teeth nearly six months ago, those wretched ugly teeth that made him want to die were finally slowly restored to the same level as others.

    Although his figure wasn''t considered perfect butpared to a half year ago, it was like he entirely transformed into a new man. His weight had also reached the normal standard.

    Chen An removed the gold-rimmed sses resting on the bridge of his nose, after washing his hands, he took out his contacts and wore them. He looked himself over in the mirror, revealing a satisfied smile. If hepared to the first time he saw his appearance in the hospital to his appearance now, it was as if he had thoroughly be a different person.

    Only now was he truly Chen An.

    After putting on his tie, Chen An turned and left the bathroom. When he walked past the study he peered through the slightly ajar door. Chen Yang was, as usual, sitting in front of the study desk, studying the materials he gave him.

    Chen Yang who seemed to have sensed Chen An''s presence immediately looked up. Chen An was dressed in a well-fitted suit and had taken off his sses, Chen Yang was momentarily stunned staring at the man and only after regaining hisposure did he open his mouth to ask: "Uncle, are you going somewhere?"

    When Chen An wore sses, he looked every bit like a refined gentleman with a graceful demeanor. But when he took off his sses, although Chen An was not as handsome as Chen Yang, he was captivating enough that people would find him unforgettable after just a nce.

    Those pair of phoenix eyes that were always tilted upward slightly were unobstructed and exposed. When Chen An curved his lips into a faint smile as he spoke, his pair of mesmerizing eyes took one''s breath away.

    "I will test you on what you have studied for these past months after I get back tonight."

    As soon as Chen An finished this sentence he directly turned to leave, without any reluctance to part and resolute in his steps.

    In Chen Yang''s heart, he felt somewhat disappointed. In Chen An''s eyes, he was a dispensable existence, not even important enough for him to even spare a nce when he left. Unconsciously his grip on his pen tightened.

    He was unwilling to be just an insignificant existence in Chen An''s heart. He wanted to be the focus of Chen An''s eyes and heart, to someday brand his presence into Chen An''s life, to be forever unforgettable to this man.

    After leaving home, Chen An sat down in a luxurious car that had been waiting downstairs. Even though his current identity had a driver license, he himself didn''t know how to drive.

    But that didn''t matter, as long as he had a chauffeur it was enough.

    Sitting in the back seat of the car, he lifted his wrist to check the time. There was still about half an hour before the party started, he estimated that by the time he got there, the party will be just starting.

    It wasn''t difficult to start apany, provided that one had sufficient funds, various types of documents could be easily readied. With his many years'' worth of experience from his former life, he could secure connections with some of the local rich businessmen with ease.

    As long as you had money, people will naturally be drawn to your side. Businessmen valued forming connections and having an extensivework, besides having more friends is never a bad idea. And if one had exceptional conversation skill and excellent taste, the number of people willing to be friends with you increases.

    Chen An only needed to start off by pretending to know a wealthy businessman, then he could slowly assimte into the local social circle. It wasn''t Chen An''s first time attending an event like tonight''s charity auction party, but after his rebirth, this was the first time he ced such importance on attending a party.

    Originally this evening party only extended invitations to various celebrities and famous figures, but because he recently got acquainted with a real estate tycoon, Chen An was able to get himself an admission ticket, allowing him to enter without any difficulties.

    The start of a good show was about to begin. ~~~

 Chapter 40

    ~ Hello ^^ finally i¡¯m done with my own editing hahaha. Because Kyaakuma is busy so the chapters posted till next week will be unedited one. ~~~

    "Today your appearance seemed to be really chic GM Chen, how could you do this to us?" followed by a burst of heartyughing sound. In the hotel lobby, a middle aged man approximately was about less than 40 years old personally greeted Chen An.

    Chen An was smiling as he gaze at this ordinary middle aged man. His appearance seemed almost around 50 years old but in fact he was only around 40 years old. It was all because of the habits rted to enduring, treat with courtesy, and didn''t avoid wine.

    "Do you want to change GM Tian Ma and exercise together with me in the gym?"

    Chen An smiled, his sight swept towards GM Ma''s full fat rich face and that bulging wine belly. You have to know that half year ago his fat bally wasn''t much smallerpared to that man in front of him.

    Then, Chen An and GM Ma walked together to the charity auction reception''s bar. GM Ma was the one he was familiar with in Hong Kong.

    Obviously, of course it seemed like it was all a coincidence meeting but in fact it was all his ns from the beginning. When he was the previous Chen Zhang An, he knew this real estate tycoon. Despite of running his own important business, in terms of private weapons, he also starting to invest in other thing, such as property, as it didn''t hinder him to make more money.

    Everyone has their own thing they were interested in as sometimes it could start to push forward the extent on where you were which may began from what you like to the point that you actually fulfilled your goals.

    Earlier GM Ma have understood all Chen An''s needs as it was enough as long as he have the proper investment. The reason was of course understandable as he and the other side was bidding together one calligraphy and painting object in <strong>Christie''s Hong Kong Auction</strong>. Additionally added by Chen An good hand writing, they slowly started to familiar with each other.

    For those who were familiar with regtion was not that hard to enter the so-called social interaction.

    Shang Hai which was one of the international metropolitan areaspletely didn''tck the varieties of this kind of reception. Even though charity auction was frequently seen, but today''s charity auction reception was a little different than the usual.

    Because of his rtionship with the host, he knew that there were rare valuable objects that would be auction in the reception, and these rare valuable objects fascinated a batch of big buyer from all around the world. These big buyers will then attracted many rich businessman and celebrities that eventually will introduced a bunch of celebrities like a group of flowers butterfly.

    Under the guidance from GM Ma, Chen An could easily chatted with or said a couple of words to these business man and celebrities in the reception. Even though right now he looked so young, but after all there was a big gap towards his mature personality.

    Relying on his rich experience, profound knowledge, as well as his unique insights as he met problems, Chen An was very quickly received many beautiful ted card because of his personal charm.

    But today he came here not only for the sake to expand his social circle.

    After giving out excuses, Chen An walked away unhurriedly from GM Ma and from those business man and celebrities circle. Then he softly patted his chest, where there was that letter that he has wrote hidden underneath the clothes.

    In today''s charity auction reception, Lu Feng wille. He was really certain that that brat wille. Because there was an object in tonight''s auction that Lu Feng must have.

    This something that could make Lu Feng to inevitably so persistent to get was actually something that was rted to him, so how could he know? Because he was actually the one who provided that auction object.

    The random golden age antique, as he was busy on Chen An''s business, there will be also some of his personal hobby, it was in one of the antique collections.

    On one side he really likes to gather the treasurers'' essence of the history and culture, but on the other side he likes to collect antique which was also high ss people''s hobby. It was also because he could constantly acquire and expand his connections.

    The auction treasure that he entrusted this time was a jade box from Han Dynasty made by exquisite workmanships. More than ten years ago he gave it to his brother Zhang Le who actually bought a special house in Shang Hai to ce the gift that he got from him. Whatever if it was big to expensive antique or small to even only a pair of chopsticks.

    But these all were something that he found when Zhang An was already dead, where he found that his dear brother''s unrequited love to him.

    That house was somewhere that only he knew and only he knew the room''s password. He was actually trying to avoid touching the objects inside that room as after all it was all rted to the memories of Zhang Le.

    But right now he was forced to take something that could attract Lu Feng''s attention. Chen An knew Lu Feng really well, that brat infatuation towards him has reached to the extent of like a virus. How was it possible that he didn''t know that that jade box was something that once was given to Zhang Le? Lu Feng wanted him including all things that he used to have.

    Chen An lower his bangs while holding a ss of juice on his hand. His mouth raised up a little as he asked somebody to deliver the letter before the auction, as an action of thank you to that sessful bidder of the auction. He believed that Lu Feng would really like this letter.

    When he turned his glittering eyes he suddenly saw someone familiar. Hence Chen An shouted that other side name.

    "Wang Hao."

    The young man whose name was shouted immediately gazed towards the calling voice. He was stunned for a moment as his sight met with Chen Yang.

    "What? Do you not recognize me?" His mouth didn''t show any smile. Chen An step by step walked towards him and said: "A couple of months before the things in gym, have you forget?"

    "You are ¡­" His eyes was suddenly opened big to stare him, remembering what Wang Hao saw when he met the man in front of him, he was appeared to be rather stunned, unconvinced as he asked: "Chen, Chen An?!"

 Chapter 41

    Unedited ¡­ Hope it¡¯s readable :¡±)

    "Chen An" original savings was all swindled by his little boyfriend Liu Xiao Jie for his private fund raising. But how could he possibly know that he was deceived as all his savings was instead privately used by Liu Xiao Jie and his new boyfriend, Wang Hao.

    This Wang Hao was a ''<strong>HaiGui''</strong> from the second generation, hence Chen An who was only a little boss and has no right or power could only chose death as there was no way out.<ul><li>Someone who has experience of study aboard. But this nickname is simr to a turtle (as a joke), so here I think it is somehow rather an abbreviation to mock him.</li></ul>

    The span of when they both once unpleasantly met in an in the gym has already passed couple of months, but this Wang Hao still clearly remember on how he was beaten by Ding Sheng. However right now he suddenly seemed as if he couldn''t recognize this man who was initiatively appeared and said hello to him anymore.

    "Chen ¡­ Chen An?!"

    After being stunned for a moment, Wang Hao suddenly shouted in surprise when he learned the man''s name. His eyes were widely stared, almost didn''t dare to believe that this extraordinary elegant and refined man in front of him, was Chen An who was once both fat and ugly.

    If it wasn''t because of his voice, as well as keeping in mind the Chen An who has started diet and orthodontics (treatment for his teeth) when they met at the gym, he basically would be unable to rte that fat and unsophisticated man from before with this man who was full of confidence in front of him.

    This fact really made Wang Hao shock for around half an hour as he couldn''t ept the drastic changes. He even forgot how in the past he was always disdainfully calling Chen An <strong>trash</strong>.

    "How could you be here?"

    Shocked, really shocked. Wang Hao was still trying to slowly recovered, yet his shocked eyes was staring deadly at the man in front of him, as if it was another man who was beside him, he was going to roughly rubbing his eyes, to confirm that he wasn''t dreaming.

    In the past he has annoyed this man named Chen An. The biggest reason was because he didn''t like to see this fat and unsophisticated man who was both ugly and uneducated person. As a rich yboy he would be dly to see the man that he didn''t like failed and fell in quagmire.

    But now Chen An suddenly turned to be someone whose looks was very pleasing. He didn''t have any fatness that make people feel disgust like in the past, didn''t have those ugly teeth anymore which make him want to vomit every time seeing it, and he also didn''t look like rustic whiff.

    It seemed like all of a sudden the frog in the field turned into the noble in the pce, which made him unable to ept the fact.

    "You didn''t think that I am the entertainer?" Chen An faintly smiled, he lifted the ss and took a small mouth of gulp that made the wine seemed like a transparent white grape juice.

    "The entertainer couldn''t possibly wear such clothes like yours."

    Wang Hao''s expression looked veryplicated as he saw Chen An''s natural demeanor, in the past when that Chen An appeared in front of him, he would always shouted crazily in loud voice to make him refund the money.

    Even though it has started even when he hasn''t swindle Chen An, Wang Hao as "a friend" and "someone familiar with Chen An" remembered that that fat and unsophisticated man who came from a vige was someone who was so crude, suspicious to others, and didn''t care at all about the way to talk or manner.

    How could someone like that turned into someone in front of him right now? One who could leisurely or contentedly talked with him, this kind of tolerance which he couldn''t really put it out.

    Remembering the past when he was once beaten by that young man beside Chen An in the gym, Wang Hao felt a little guilty and frowned: "Are you going to make revenge on me?"

    After he was beaten in the gym, Wang Hao immediately searched the rtionship of that young man and Chen An so he could start to deal with them two. However beyond his expectation, keeping in mind that he was the one who started the bullying, that one time when it turned to him being bullied he couldn''t just let it go.

    Only because, the one who beat him has special identity, so special that he couldn''t even know that young man''s real identity.

    But Wang Hao remembered it, the young man who was together with Chen An was called Ding Sheng. Then it wasn''t hard to guess that Chen An could turned into someone like this now was rted to that man called Ding Sheng?

    "How could I possibly going to take revenge on you? There was an old saying ''to find a way out of an impasse''. Even though I was bankrupt, but now I even have a life that was better than in the past, isn''t that right?"<ul><li>Means: to fight desperately when confronting mortal danger (idiom based on Sunzi¡¯s ¡°The Art of War¡± Ëï×Ó±ø·¨).</li></ul>

    His mouth slowly curved up, Chen An nced towards Wang Hao as the other side was still staring at him, then the smile on his mouth became deeper.

    "The auction is almost starting." He didn''t n to talk much to Wang Hap, Chen An threw an excuse then turned back his body and left.

    The bait was already thrown up, just need to wait for the fish to hook it up. Chen An''s real goal wasn''t about the auction''s objects while GM Ma said that he had something to do in his home. So Chen An will no longer stay any longer in the auction and going to leave.

    He was going to intentionally leave exactly before Lu Feng came, he was trying hard to avoid and being in contact with the other side. Even though he has now changed into somebody new, but who knew ¡­ if Lu Feng who he was extremely familiar with could or couldn''t recognize him?

 Chapter 42

    ~ Wish you all Happy Chinese New Year ^.^ and i might only post one this week because chapter 43 is too looooong ¡­>_<¡­

    Chen An didn''t like this social activity at all, when he went back his body gradually hurts so much, so he just directly gave what business he has on hand to Lu Feng.

    In the weekdays various types of entertainment was put aside to Lu Feng. Slowly on some social rtions onwork, Lu Feng gradually upied the important position as there was a scene where he was captured.

    Even though Chen An didn''tpletely participate in the auction, but when he got home it was already around 11 o''clock. Then, he saw Chen An who was lowering his head while reading as he closed the door.

    "Why don''t you wait on the study room?"

    When Chen An walked towards him, Chen Yang immediately stood up, he walked in a big step and help the man to hang the suit that he was wearing on the hanger beside him. This entire move was intimate yet felt natural.

    "Uncle, I am here because I thought you will bete. Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

    Chen Yang didn''t answer Chen An. The reason why he wasn''t in the study room and instead chose to wait in the living room was all because he wanted to see him immediately when he returned.

    "Help me make a little congee but don''t put any sugar or anything else." Chen An loosen his tie as he was going to go upstairs to his own bedroom and said "I am going to take a bath first."

    "Okay."

    Cheng Yang silently looked up and gazed at the man''s back. He also didn''t know what happened, clearly he wasn''t only recently closed to Chen An, but he really wanted to look at this Chen An, as when he wasn''t there, he would from the bottom of his heart continued to think about Chen An.

    He always felt, the present Chen An was no longer the same as the past image of his uncle. Although he still likes his uncle, the original personality of Chen An. But if he was told to choose, he hoped Chen An would continue to maintain like now, would never change.

    But it wasn''t because Chen An got lots of money, it also wasn''t because Chen An''s sudden changed of manner. Chen Yang only knew that he didn''t want to leave Chen An''s side.

    Not long after Chen Yang finished making the congee, Chen An walked downstairs wearing his pajama.

    "Uncle, you only eat a bowl of congee without eating any meat every day. If it continues like this how will you have enough nutrition?" Chen Yang asked while feeling a little hurt.

    Chen An who sat in the opposite of Chen Yang lowered his head and continued to use the spoon as he ate the congee. Although it wasn''t put any sugar but the glutinous rice somehow gave a natural and original sweetness as he ate it.

    He disliked and avoided Chen Yang stares and said: "I finally able to start to reduce eating meat as it will make me fat, do you still want me to eat it like back then? When you are at my age right now the metabolism has turned slow, not like you who are still young, despite of how much you eat you still won''t get fat."

    Chen Yang smiled and said: "But uncle you clearly are still very young."

    "Your mouth was quite sweet, how is it on the book that I have tell you to read? Have you remembered it?"

    Eating a bowl of congee has made him full, but Chen An didn''t forget about today''s business, he needed to test Chen Yang.

    After Chen Yang finished tidy up the bowl and backed from the kitchen, he saw Chen An who was tilting in the sofa on the living room.

    Chen Yang walked towards Chen An who clearly didn''t look up to him, he just lowered his head while feeling free and just reading the magazine, while said: "ording to you, which one is better? Lee-Enfield rifle and Mauser Kar98K rifle?"

    Directly the first oneing was a test rted to weapons.<hr>

    Here is the details on Lee-Enfield rifle: here and Mauser Kar98K rifle: here

 Chapter 43

    This is an unedited chapter so yeah hope it is understandable >.<

    If a weapon maker didn''t recognize each of its models, then how could they sell weapons to other people?

    Chen An gazed towards Chen Yang who was standing straight in front of him. He didn''t feel any anxiety or hesitation, directly and quickly answered all his questions.

    "Not only Lee-Enfield rifle''s bouncing was one fold heavier than Mauser Kar98K rifle but Lee-Enfield rifle''s shooting range was also one fold than Mauser Kar98K rifle.

    Bent his leg, Chen An straighten his hands as he leaned on the sofa, he also indifferently threw the magazine in his hand to the side, then he raised his mouth and said "Continue."

    "Even though Lee-Enfield rifle has advantages in terms of bouncing capacity and the shooting range, but Lee-Enfield rifle''s overall structure wasn''t really reliable, moreover it also needed to quickly take aim then shooting speed; some kind of the shooting range counteracts advantage."

    Chen Yang expression when answered the question was good, he looked calm andposed, wasn''t panic at all, from beginning the flow was good and he didn''t hesitate at all. In the past his face was slightly immature but suddenly now it changed into a mature one.

    Chen An has actually forgotten that Chen Yang''s school was the best university in Shang Hai, relying on Chen Yang''s own capability, he finally could study abroad relying on schrship and didn''t have any problem finishing his master''s degree.

    "Just continue and talk if you still more opinion on this." Looking at Chen Yang who seemed to still have something to say, Chen An''s fingers softly knocked his knee.

    This gesture looks the same like pressing every parts of Chen Yang''s body. It made Chen Yang suddenly started to feel excited. He really wanted to get Chen An''s recognition, which was this intense feeling.

    "Compared to Lee-Enfield and Mauser Kar98K, I believed Mosin-Nagant rifle was better, it''s main strongest point were the big destructive power, simple structure, more importantly it''s producing requirement wasn''t hard, easy to be used when was going to war as could be produced inrge amount (in bale). In addition/moreover Mosin-Nargant rifle''s uracy was higher than to Lee-Enfield and Mauser Kar98K.

    To be a qualified weapons maker, you had to have a deep understanding on your own weapons. While to be an excellent weapons maker, you had to have a deep understanding on what kind of weapons that may suit your customer.

    Without a doubt Chen Yang''s answer did get Chen An''s acknowledgement.

    Afterwards Chen An also continued to ask some questions about weapons as when it was with Lu Feng, and without an exception, Chen Yang perfectly answered it all.

    In the beginning Chen An only hoped Chen Yang could at least have a clear understanding at it and it was enough, really didn''t think that Chen Yang actually remembered all of it. However not only remembering but most of the weapons will also need to bepared and distinguished.

    Not only which one was more qualified, but also have to make sure it went far way beyond expectation.

    Chen An paused for a moment, then opened his mouth and asked: "what is your opinion in regard to the recent situation in Ukraine?"

    This question has never been mentioned on the book that Chen An gave to him, although he has made sure Chen An to read many books in international situation field, but basically it was all about the rtion between each international major camps among the continents, didn''t rted at all to the current events.

    He only wanted to see whether Chen Yang often saw international news or not, what kind of view that he has on the international problems.

    "Uncle, I am going to say it directly." Chen Yang didn''t seem to quickly answer it. He only opened his mouth after he was slightly considering it for a while. However Chen An couldn''t help but tough as soon as he opened his mouth.

    "I feel Ukrainians were all like a group of idiots without any social experiences or knowledge about dispatch. Although the troops were forced to apologize to the mob and kneel on the square, even the military troops directly seek shelter to Russia; and because of theck of funds, as there are an increase of Russian army, they actually used the approach to cut its fund, cut it so much that arge number of military forces was defeated ¡­.."

    Ukraine still rejected the dispatch and followed by more imbecile and unreasonable acts. It was all to make people wonder on how there was such kind of absurd government in this world.

    But the real fact was like this, the powerful people in this world weren''t necessarily wise, sometimes some foolish one also existed among them.

    When they did business transactions sometimes also need to consider it a bit, their transactions could directly influence their own interest in which was a smart move or like this extremely foolish case of Ukraine.

    "Chen Yang, do you know why I tested you on these kinds of questions?"

    Chen An sat upright on the sofa, that tall long legs that always swayed in front of Chen Yang yet hiding under the ck robe, suddenly almost lost between made Chen Yang couldn''t clearly heard what were the questions.

    Added by the fact Chen An also didn''t n to heard Chen Yang''s answers, he just leaning on the back of the sofa, both hands that was in front of theputer saw the young man who was standing in front of him.

    "I gave you this one real situation, the simplest story okay."

    "When it was on the end of the 80<sup>th</sup> Century, Saudi Arabia was once bought 35 pieces of Dong Feng missile to certain countries, the rumor at that time when the representatives from certain countries was bidding, the price of a missile, at the same time their internal core fixed price was 1.000.000" Chen An added "RMB."

    "How much were some certain countries wanted to pay? 10.000.000, do you think it is enough?" Chen An asked.

    They actually could be sold it ten times then that 10.000.000 cost, for Chen Yang of course he nodded and said "a lot."

    "Certain country in this case iss also scared that their price would scare away the other side, so didn''t dare to directly sigh butpared to a finger, meanwhile finally atst even make the representative of that certain country really shocked, Saudi Arabia prince thought/believed that the price that certain country offer is 100.000.000."

    Chen An stretched out his fingers, in front softly dazzle away: "one missile sold for 100.000.000."

    It wasn''t based on today''s currency of 100.000.000, it was based on 20 years ago."

    "100.000.000 RMB?!!!" If we calcte this amount of money in the present, it was enough to make Chen Yang looked it up. This amount of money was something that he couldn''t earn even in his entire life or another life.

    "It was in US $." Looking at Chen Yang''s shocked expression, Chen An gentlyughed, it turned out that this brat still too inexperienced.

    "Even though one missile is $100.000.000, Saudi Arabia still regarded it cheap, Chen Yang, do you know why is that?" After Chen An finished asked that he directly answered it himself.

    He didn''t thought to hear Chen Yang answer, he only wanted to make this young man some simple principle.

    "Someone who was somehow has lots of money, if couldn''t have the capability to take care their own property, soon orte will be cleanly divided by other people. And his own property as well as body was all safe, used $3.500.000.000 to buy a not threatening weapon enough to protect himself, but for Saudi Arabia obviously it was really cheap."

    In this world there were lots of weapons that you couldn''t buy even if you had lots of money, and for example was this, missile.

    Of course, Chen An''s weapon business wouldn''t involved that kind of dangerous weapons, in this world there also weren''t any weapon stores that dare to do so, because it didn''t only involve the matter of interest, but also will involve the world''s order.

    "The reason why I told you this story were, first because I wanted you to know, in this world there are lots of countries and people in certain ces that wanted to get this kind of weapon, and they are willing to pay lots and lots of money."

    "Second ¡­" Chen An slightly curved up his lips, slowed down his talking speed, said it word per word, "the weapon cost 1.000.000 RMB could be sold for $100.000.000, this wasn''t something idental, this was the reality, the truth was weapon transaction was very profiteering.

    Wherever there was war, then there will also be weapon store. Somewhere there was the possibility of war then it could also be guaranteed that there would be war. Didn''t care whether it was power or interest, these two factors will forever cause the war broke out.

    The high threshold entry of weapon business, small circle, high profit, but also high risk, right now Chen An wasn''t an insider in this small circle, but he could quickly became one, also could quickly make one who was in this small circle noticed his existence.

    "This is yourst chance to choose."

    Chen An stood up from the sofa, then he walked to in front of Chen Yang and this young man also stood up face to face with him.

    The calm and clear gaze, said every word out from Chen An''s mouth was clearly heard by Chen Yang: "to join together with me the other didn''t be part of the world ordinary crazy people, also didn''t belong to one who is in your present path, as an ordinary person, living life as an ordinary person."

    "I want to be together with you." Didn''t consider anything, Chen Yang just blurted out, looking straight at Chen An''s eyes without any fear, the persistent and determination in his eyes was in that way that make Chen An thought of his little brother Zhang Le for a moment.

    What different was in Chen An sight didn''t fear or worry to unknown things in the future, there was only constancy.

    His hand gently reached to stroke Chen Yang''s cheek, Chen An use his fingers to rub this man''s cheek, he then walked a step to go near Chen An, each other''s chest seemed to be closed with one another.

    "Ifter on you dare to betray me, I will make you feel life is worse than death." Softly, whispering to Chen Yang, in tone revealed the devil''s general curse. Chen An wouldn''t let the same betrayal happened for the second time.

    "Uncle, I will never ever betray you, Chen Yang will be you ally forever, will do what you say for the rest of my life time."

    Chen Yang suddenly walked a step and his chest nestle together with Chen An, and at the same time also opened his arms firmly to hug the man, almost looked like wanted to use it to prove Chen An that he would never betray him.

    Chen An gently patted Chen Yang''s back, his mouth was slightly curved up.

    Lu Feng, if you knew that right now I also trained a sessor, didn''t regard you as my only sessor anymore, what would you feel?<hr>

 Chapter 44

    Unedited ~~ Here we go ¡­ so sorry for the wrong update! >.<

    Lu Feng didn''t want to die, but it wasn''t because he was scared. Instead he was only scared if after he was dead he would forget that man called Chen Zhang An.

    Just have finished to neatly ced the Jade box from Han Dynasty in front of him, obviously the man quietly gazing the jade box was starting to remember the past, he closed his eyes and both hands was carefully ced in the jade box.

    He imagined as that year when he still wasn''t around Zhang An, how that man touched the jade box''s surface in the weekdays, and how he gave the jade box to Zhang Le.

    This jade box, was once touched by Zhang An, once possessed, there was also the trade of that man.

    "Zhang An ¡­" Softly said that man''s name, over and over again, it was really painful but at the same time he also missed him more and more, as the more he missed him the more he was suffering.

    The contradiction and yet the feeling of pain because of the struggle he had even frequently make Lu Feng felt the meaning of living, right now he knew the meaning of living.

    Slowly opened the jade box, there was a piece of red glued letter which suddenly leap into his eyes. A moment ago the man was still in trance but in an instant concentrated, sound turned cold.

    "Who is the one who put this letter in the jade box?"

    Cold such as a the de sounds brought him invisible pressure, his subordinate''s palms who was not far away suddenly sweat, answered nervously and fast: "President Lu, it was the auction''s host that gave that thank you letter."

    "Thank you letter?" Lu Feng hesitantly opened the letter in the jade box, as his sights spotted on the red glue, his calm heart started to be boiled hot as if almost encounter burning fire.

    This glue color, texture, and even the material of the letter, all was exactly the same like something that Chen Zhang An previous life used.

    Was it a malicious joke?

    If it was, he will make the one who was joking with him felt life was worse than death, anyone couldn''t, anyone also couldn''t make fun him using Zhang An''s name!

    His expression was cold and stiff, Lu Feng removed the glued to take out the letter inside, when his fingers touched the kraft paper letter, Lu Feng''s cold face slowly showed some sign to copse, his palm also unconsciously starting to sweat.

    It couldn''t be, couldn''t be there was another person who knew Zhang An to give this letter, as the details on the envelope and even the glue was the same as what he remembered.

    However when he saw the small word written in the letter, Lu Fengpletely stunned and stiffed, he didn''t even starting to move at all.

    Couple of minutes and seconds passed, Lu Feng was like a stone, only continued to look and gaze at the letter but looked at it without any reactions.

    It was when one of the subordinate who was close to him opened his mouth and called him, Lu Feng suddenly lifted his head andughed, hysterically inside and also really went mad.

    "Didn''t die, I''m sure that you didn''t die right?!"

    "How could you be dead, Zhang An, Zhang An, ¡­¡­ hahahaha!"

    Seemed as if he was mad, Lu Feng saw that in his hand there was only a letter with one small word but not only it make himughed but also murmured, one hand death grab his own heart, that pair of eyes before his death stared the letter which had Chen Zhang An''s hand writing.

    His heart already almost couldn''t bear this kind of motivation, almost ruptured.

    "Lu, President Lu?"

    "Call Xiao Yuan here." Suddenly after he returned back to normal, Lu Feng calmlymanded.

    While he still looking at the letter in his hand, that pair of eyes became even more and more deeper, he wanted to really know, how to write that small world.

    "Ivanov?" Softly said the name which was mentioned in the letter, Lu Feng gripped his left chest like dead, his mouth was curved upward.

    Didn''t care whether this was trap or has any other meaning, as this name provoked Lu Feng. This reason was enough.

    He didn''t like if Chen Zhang An''s heart has any other man besides him.

 Chapter 45

    Thew prohibited criminal acts, but that didn''t mean that there will be no criminal acts in this world. Thew prohibited one who privately owned firearms, but it also couldn''t prevent the existence of it, for example in a shooting club.

    In every clubs in the suburbs of ShangHai, a group of wealthy young people from second generation gathered together to hold shootingpetition. It was as long as anyone has the same obsession toward weapons.

    Except for these rich people there were also another circle where some came from the second ancestor status who still did such an old fashioned acts. They simply went together topared their each luxury cars and beautiful women. That kind of life was the same like ¡®a bumpkin¡¯ who forever couldn''t be one of them.

    Everyone in the circle all tried to maintain their own status, one who wanted to enter their circle must have the same equal status and wealth, the exclusion was even often stronger to the one who was more excellent.

    "Yo Wang Hao, you are not bad."

    "Nah, it''s just ordinary, hahaha."

    After being praised and still deliberately pretend to be modest, Wang Hao was a little pleased. He put down the special earmuffs that was used to protect his ear from the shooting sound, but as soon as he put down the earmuffs he suddenly saw two men who started to walk toward him, and he immediately frowned.

    How could it be that guy!

    "How could you be here?"

    It was a lie to said that he wasn''t surprised when Wang Hao saw Chen An. You must understand that one couldn''t juste in this club because they are rich. Because it was illegal to privately owned weapon, it was quit hard to even enter this club''s threshold.

    While as Wang Hao just said it subconsciously, Chen An still was the bumpkin who they disdained, not to mention to step in this club, even couldn''t reckon how he was here.

    "Do you really have to be that surprised?"

    Chen An smiled, if he said he wasn''t deliberately came here, it was a lie, although the main reason he came to the shooting club was to train Chen Yang''s shooting skill, but he also nned as if he identally met Wang Hao, after all this shooting club wasn''t the only one around here.

    "Are you doing shootingpetition?" Chen An squinted his eyes, intentionally said several provocative tones, "how about counting me in?"

    "Wang Hao, who is he? Do you know him?"

    Some of Wang Hao''s friend suspiciously looked at this unfamiliar man who suddenly showed up, they have went to this shooting club for many years, but still didn''t have the impression of having met him before. If they have met before, they absolutely wouldn''t forget him.

    After all, the Chen An right now didn''t care wherever he was as he ultimately somehow possessed that imposing manner.

    "You could shoot?" Couldn''t conceal his surprised tone, Wang Hao almost thought that he heard it wrong.

    "If you won, I wouldply with one of your request, no matter what kind of request."

    When Chen An said this, Chen Yang who was beside him instinctively stared towards Wang Hao, even though he believed that Chen An absolutely won''t just said something like this for no reason, but he still secretly hold his fist.

    One request, no problem on whatever it was.

    But his kind of saying make Chen Yang thought about it more and more and it was difficult for him to ept it, but at the same time it made Wang Hao immediately felt excited.

    "Are you sure that you will do ording to whatever I''m going to request on?" Secretly swallowed his spit. If he was to be honest, Chen An''s word make Wang Hao''s blood immediately boiled up, there was also an inexplicable impulse of excitement in his heart.

    Chen An inly smiled and said: "But if I won, then you guys have to leave this shooting club and mustn''t went back here, ever, agree?"

    "<strong>WTF!!" </strong>Wang Hao frowned as soon as he heard this, to make them left this shooting club forever, without doubt means to make them, these second generation ancestor lost face.

    "Or do you think, that you are not confident with you own ability?"

    Chen An''s smile gradually went deeper, asionally teasing these stupid poor insects more and more. He also felt that it wasn''t that bad to count it as a leisure activity.

    With his kind of intentionally provocative acts! He would really lost his face if Wang Hao didn''t ept the match. About these second generations ancestor, how could they didn''t ept it?

    Especially as Wang Hao subconsciously felt although Chen An''s transformations was so big, but after all that¡¯s all. He had practiced shooting for years, he would be able to ovee this for sure and make sure to make Chen An felt uneasy.<hr>

 Chapter 46

    Wang Hao was the first to go, beside him were several other scoundrels who were giving him. Thus Wang Hao directly felt full of confidence, wanted to prove that his shooting skill was far better than the others inside of these group of friends.

    While Wang Hao also wanted to live up to the expectations, the first bullet only hit seven. Six rings results, for professional yer this resultwasmaybe verymon, but to be told for Wang Hao and these amateurs'' scoundrels to be able to hit that was something that could be showed off.

    Wang Hao was particrly gaze with proud toward that man, originally he wanted to saw Chen An''s face that was nervous and uneasy, but finally what he saw and imagined was really different.

    He wasn''t only not uneasy and nervous, Chen An''s face was expressionless, a clear cloud light, his eyes didn''t even catch a glimpse or focusing to them.

    Chen An toward Wang Hao''s shooting was almost has no interest, only yed with his gun at the side while at the same time exined the basic shooting skill to Chen Yang.

    The frustrated Wang Hao was shimmering, behind the five rounds of bullet and also shot a good result, the best one even still shot nine extraordinary rings y results.

    "Hey, it''s your turn, make me see whether this brat have the real ability or not, or maybe he was only joking." Wang Hao was carried away with pride, the same with these scoundrels, whileughing and said, "Right now wasn''t I supposed to think about it for a bit? Wait for a while what do you want me to do."

    Words said by Wang Hao and his scoundrels friends make Chen Yang slightly moved both his hand that was under the long sleeves, that night all things that Ivanov had done to Chen An was once again happened in front of his eyes.

    The same thing, he couldn''t let it happened for the second time again in front of his eyes.

    He was too weak, and he was still too weak, nned on how he could grasp the knowledge of weapons, today was his first time to meet the real gun, yet he couldn''t even opened it up.

    Only if he could open it up, he could think of a way to make this man called Wang Hao suffered.

    Toward the provocative Wang Hao, Chen An only smile coldly, he casually said to Chen Yang who was beside him: "If you want to score well in shooting, good aim was important, but it was more like you need some kind of prediction and intuition in practical use, if not that when you are taking aim it would only identally killed the enemy."

    Chen An took out the gun, but toward the target in the distance didn''t choose to wear protective earmuffs, after rebirth this was his first time to take the gun and aimed it at the target.

    At the moment he took out the gun, Chen An''s imposing manner changed instantly, turned to a calm, so calm like a towering mountain, who could gave that tense pressure which they have never felt before.

    If wepared one who merely yed with gun and one who genuinely used gun then we could see the essential differences.

    He was weapons predators while at the same time also was an excellent master of y gun, after all one who was like this kind of man most of the time will often was in the war zones.

    His experience was more than people who had been in war, his eyes also like one who has witnessed the cruelty of war, used gun to kill people by his own hands, his imposing manner alonepared to ordinary people of course very different.

    Especially, when his hand was holding gun, it was as if what Chen An confronted wasn''t an immobile target, but was to fight back the enemy at anytime.

    "The ability to control the gun and the capability of adapting to changing, could be used as a deciding factor whether you lived or dead in the war zone.

    Apanied by Chen An''s sound, the first shoot sounded followed by another one, almost without any break and space, behind followed by the five rings of gun.

    Chen Yang sight deadly staring on that man''s hand which was holding the gun, just now he noticed Wang Hao''s hand will shake when was holding the gun, as the bullet was shoot inevitably the force will make the hand which was holding the gun tremble.

    But when the bullet shot by Chen An flew, the hand which was holding the gun almost didn''t tremble at a big extent, Chen Yang didn''t truly applied the shooting style that he have read before, it was like when Chen An used gun could calmly poised was something which actually showed by one with professional shooting skills.

    When the target was moving to their side, all people were shocked.

    All those six rings of bullet were hit right in the mark (center), there was only one hole on the target, it means that just now those all rings of bullet was hit on the same position.

    "This ¡­. How is it possible ¡­.."

    At this time Wang Hao''s back running cold, from the forehead cold sweat went down, while he widely stared at the same time also check the target, but finally even make him and his several scoundrel friends'' heart went cold.

    Not only them but there wasn''t anyone including all the coach in the shooting club that could make Chen An scared, not with this excellent shooting skill.

    He afraid that not only Chen An shot 9, the result of 5, while it was 6 bullet, all hit the same position.

    This needed an excellent control skill, and also a strong calm heart.

    "Why don''t you move now? What are you still waiting for?"

    Chen An put down the gun, as what have been promised before, right now was the time when Wang Hao and friends to get out from this shooting club.

    "Are you deliberately taking revenge against me?"

    Wang Hao''s palm starting to sweat cold, he already used to bully people who were weaker than him, suddenly this time the powerful and scary man like Chen An started to appear, this man who was once someone that he used to deceived, who was responsible to make him felt fear.

    Chen An felt like he heard a joke and then smiled: "Young master Wang Hao, I, Chen An was only an ordinary people, how could someone like me dare to retaliate against you?"

    This word made people who heard it couldn''t believe, especially Chen An was continuously said in somehow like a mocking tone.

    "The promise just now was counted okay." Only voice a turn, Chen An unexpectedly overthrowed (stated) again the promise that he made with Wang Hao just now.

    Seeing Wang Hao who waspletely didn''t move, he walked towards the young man, a pair of phoenix eyes slightly raised, bright but also secretly showed some hidden mischievous.

    ¡­..

    "Uncle, do you really want to work together with Wang Hao?

    Back from the shooting club, Chen Yang has some doubts on Chen An''s decision, of course he trusted Chen An 100%, but really didn''t trust that man called Wang Hao at all.

    But in the shooting club just now, Chen An even initiatively invited Wang Hao to cooperate together in terms of buying and selling weapons.

    "You are so weird aren''t you, clearly in the past Wang Hao was harmful to me, but now even wanted to work together?" Throw his suit to the sofa, Chen An opened the refrigerator and took out two bottles of energy drink.

    He turned his body; throw one of it to give it to Chen Yang, while he himself opened the lid he inly said: "It wasn''t rted at all on whether he was harmful to me or I want to work with him. If I am to work together with him it was only because of one purpose, which is profit."

    The so-called revenge, didn''t directly and immediately killed the other side, cruel in this way wasn''t really this old fox style.

    Didn''t care how, yet it was good if he could squeezed out the other side to thest drop of blood.

    In this shorting time, Chen An took care Chen Yang to concentrate on bing familiar with weapons and also practiced shooting in the shooting club, then he himself discussed about the buying and selling weapons business with Wang Hao.

    Young people like Wang Hao, have certain schemes and even didn''t experience much, eager wanted to get themselves approval from many people, it was more or less one of themon characteristics of these guys.

    Added by how good they are on how they dried out way to get money, for Wang Hao this young man who somehow has this natural privilege (as he was the second generation official son, very wealthy) the wordpliance or to abide by thew was an easy thing to ignore to.

    The condition stated by Chen An really attracted many people, especially those who made enormous profits by buying and selling weapons absolutely wasn''t Wang Hao''s match. In this world there was no one who could have more profits/money more than them.

    "If you don''t want to cooperate, I can go and look for others who want to." Fingers softly pointed on the chair armrest, Chen An slightly smiled and said, "if you agree to cooperate with me, then you only need to give me a gift."

    "What do you want?"

    "Liu Xiao Jie."

 Chapter 47

    For Wang Hao, if he made this kind of immature and inexperience brat to directly paid then it was something that was too simple. After he dare to work together with Chen An he would taste profound profits from weapons, same like drugs once you in and you couldn''t stop using it.

    What he wanted only quietly saw Wang Hao trapped into self-expansion, want to give him some taste of sweetness then set up a trap to wait the other to fall in.

    "I beg you to let me go, I ¡­ I won''t do it again, Chen An, I am wrong, I am wrong okay ¡­ just let me go, huhuhu, I don''t dare, I won''t do it again ¡­"

    As Chen An opened the warehouse at the moment, a whole body red - naked tied into the shackles could be seen. The thin and young ankle simr to a dog immediately climbed over toward Chen An, with empty eyes full of fear and despair, crying nonstop and begging to the man.

    "Uncle."

    Chen Yang who was with Chen An in the back walked to the man to lifted up a chair, Chen An sat down and both eyes was ovep with the body leaned toward the back of the chair.

    Withzy eyes the man saw Liu Xiao Jie who was quickly going to copse. His eyes didn''t show even a bit ofpassion and with both hands was resting on the chair armrest, Chen An slowly opened his mouth: "I can even just kill you right now, cut you into pieces and put you into meat grinder after a period of time and then throw you into the sea to be food for fish. In this life time there isn''t anyone who will know how you die."

    This word directly made Liu Xiao Jie cried more and more, kneeling in the ground to kowtow nonstop toward Chen An, even what he said all be so unclear.

    In this world there wasn¡¯t anyone who could calmly face death, especially one who was locked by Chen An in a dark warehouse for several days. Liu Xiao Jie was about to break down.

    Chen An could just shot him, the man who once used to offended him. But that kind of quick and painless death to him was only given to the enemy he respected. As for this little trash in front of him, he didn''t even have the interest to do it himself.

    After he gave several sweetness of weapons business to Wang Hao, that brat without hesitation gave Liu Xiao Jie streaky bacon tied himself over to him, even made it like Liu Xiao Jie was one who was responsible as they swindled his money in the first ce. A vain attempt to cleanly wash their own hand.

    Chen An, this man had many shorings, one of it was bearing grudge.

    Contrasting to this old fox''s life purpose was, there was no way he lived in this world without doing anything when he was kicked or cursed? It was too restrained.

    To grant Liu Xiao Jie quick and happy death wasn''t in ordance with his life motto, one who made use of people was okay to be squeezed dry, Chen An lean to the back of the chair and pinned his finger to Liu Xiao Jie: "Raise up."

    Without any hesitation, fear that Chen An would really kill him, Liu Xiao Jie''s moved hand foot and like an obedient dog immediately climb over, Chen Yang who was at the side saw this scene and slightly frowned, but still didn''t say anything.

    "Want to live?" Chen An inly smiled, like a devil smile, it wasn''t only could not make people feel warm, but instead will make one feel cold.

    Liu Xiao Jie didn''t stop nodding, make one felt that his little brain was out of his body.

    Gazemanding this thin young man who was kneeling next to his foot, Chen An''s deep eyes only has that usual cold sh, he use his toe to lifted up Liu Xiao Jie''s jaws, showed pale face full of tears and fear.

    "What a pity ¡­" clearly stated pitiful word, but didn¡¯t make one felt even a bit of sympathy, after all, right now Liu Xiao Jie turned like this was because Chen An involvement.

    "HuHuHu ¡­" Liu Xiao Jie didn''t dare to say two words, but also didn¡¯t stop crying, this whole person was the all the main cause he didn''t dare to move, where did he still found the way to escape from this domineeringpare to when he first met him at the gym?

    These weekdays the small arrogant young man, felt more and more scared of him.

    "I could let you live, but ¡­ I only like obedient dog, do you understand?" Chen An nced Liu Xiao Jie''s tears dripping on his shoes, voice suddenly became cold, "Lick it clean."

    "Sorry, so sorry!" While didn''t stop saying sorry Liu Xiao Jie busily lowering his head didn''t stop licking the man''s shoes.

    Suddenly felt disgusted, Chen Yang'' eyes narrowed to Liu Xiao Jie''s face and kicked him out. Thetter was so embarrassed and fall into the ground, the same like a small dog who was abandoned couldn''t calm and nervously looked at Chen An, then did a ridiculous acts.

    Liu Xiao Jie kneeled in the ground shrink into a group, talked the same like dog sounds: "Barking (gug gug gug)"

    "Good dog." Low smile, Chen An stood up from the chair, said to Chen Yang who was beside him, "This dog was too dirty, let him get out and wash himself clean."

    "En." Chen Yang gave out an affirmative sound, but looked at Chen An''s eyes withplicated emotion.

 Chapter 48

    As they were going to go back home riding a luxurious car, there was ayer of soundproof barrier between the passenger seat and driver seat which made others couldn''t know what the uncle and the nephew talked about.

    Chen An leaned on the back of the seat and faintly said: "Don''t you feel that what I have done was too much?"

    "Things they had done before has hurt you more uncle, it turned like this today was also their own fault, I wouldn''t say it was too much, I just didn''t understand ¡­" Chen Yang gazed toward Chen An who was sitting next to him and said, "Uncle, why don''t you just simply kill Liu Xiao Jie?"

    Back to when Chen An agitated Liu Xiao Jie''s chin with the tip of his shoe just now, Chen Yang surprisingly found that he actually really wanted to be Liu Xiao Jie at that moment. Was he crazy? Or maybe it turned out that he was a little abnormal?

    Chen Yang''s word made Chen An be slightly surprised, after all in Chen An''s impression, Chen Yang was still that cheerful and optimist man, asionally also felt he was a handsome and smart nephew who always looked absentminded.

    He thought Chen Yang would feel things he had done today was too much or uneptable, but he didn''t think that this brat unexpectedly take it just like that.

    In fact from the time he made Chen Yang follow him and how he handled things, the first time he gave Chen Yang the test and so on, Chen An found that Chen Yang has talent that wasn''t possessed by other people, especially not only he was fast to remember all things about weapons from the military aspects, but his hands'' movement was also something that make people amazed. Compared to that year in the beginning, this could be counted as <strong>"greene out from blue but green is better than blue"</strong>.<ul><li>Meaning: "the student has able to surpass the master"</li></ul>

    As he has been in the shooting club training department for months, Chen Yang has basically grasped the shooting techniques, not only that but this young man could was also really outstanding in regards to the analyses and insights of the current international affairs.

    This made Chen An once again thought of Lu Feng. When he rightfully took Lu Feng from Africa at that year, he only felt that at that time Lu Feng was very simr to his brother when he was a child. But he couldn''t possibly only cushioning him all things he learned and experienced because he felt Lu Feng and Zhang Le was simr.

    More importantly, Lu Feng has an outstanding talent in the aspect of weapons. Added by his cold and cool character, besides asionally has some excessive paranoid, he waspletely like a genius born for using weapon.

    "A good heartbreaking dead dog is more useful than a dead dog." This was Chen An''s answer to Chen Yang''s previous question. One simple sentence.

    His body then went sideways and lean on the back of the car door, the two legs were crossed, and stretched past Chen Yang''s legs, with poker face said: "Help me take off the shoes."

    This sudden act made Chen Yang shocked for a moment, but when Chen An''s legs was stretched past him, he still immediately made the man''s small leg rested on his own big leg. Then gently hold Chen An''s ankle.

    When his hot palm touched the other side''s slightly cold skin, it felt the same as if he was bitten by a viper and that made him felt a stinging pain in the hand.

    At the surface he looked calm after Chen Yang took off Chen An''s shoes, but his heart already started tighten up and felt a burst of pain.

    How could a man''s foot somehow look better and more delicate than a girl? But Chen Yang sights still couldn''t help but to gaze on Chen An''s barefoot legs whose are resting on Chen Yang''s legs.

    It was lightly thinner, looked the same like "white fat jade" which seemed a little cool, made him want to warmly squeeze it into his heart.<ul><li>White fat jade is like a sheep fat monly known as sheep oil) the same jade. The exnation of modern gemologists is: high-quality Hetian jade white, main color is fat white (can be slightly pale cyan, milky yellow, etc).</li></ul>

    "There is only this." Chen An said and put on his other leg on Chen Yang''s leg.

    When Chen Yang took off Chen An''s shoes, he heard Chen An''s said: "Throw away this pair of shoes, I don''t want to wear shoes that has been licked by a dog."

    As he said this, Chen An barefoot was like warming Chen Yang''s chest, Chen Yang also take advantage of the man''s foot and trying to cover it in his chest. As it was only ayer of thin shirt, he still able to feel the cold touch of his foot.

    "Why are you so hot?" Chen An muttered, "Clearly uncle and nephew, you are like a stove, I am like an ice cave."

    Chen Yangughed and said: "If uncle was cold, I will make you warm."

    Chen An heard it and smiled, how could he let Chen Yang this natural stove to make his own foot became warm. He crossed both hands into his chest and asked: "How long is it until you have you holiday?"

    "Next week after finished exam is okay."

    "En, then you have to seriously prepared for the exam, wait until it''s holiday then we will go together to Ukraine."

 Chapter 49

    Here.We.Go ~~~

    "Do you want to go to Yuan Men?"<ul><li>AnYuanMen or Anyuan Gate click here </li></ul>

    Wang Li who was cleaning the table was stunned for a moment after she heard it. She saw a young man standing in front of her as he handed over a room card.

    "While I''m gone for a while you can juste over to clean this ce as usual. I have already put the sry inside the sry card and if something happened you could also contact me by phone."

    After Chen Yang said this, he went back to his room to continue packing his luggage. Wang Li just looked at this young man''s back figure and lowered her head as she saw the room card in her hand.

    She already became the housekeeper in this house for several months, but from the beginning until now she rarely saw Chen An as he was back only once in a while. Until now she also only saw Chen An and Chen Yang, this uncle and nephew, who lived in this big and luxurious home. In the weekdays, except for cleaning and purchasing other needs, she rarely could said something to both of them.

    She has also worked in several rich people''s home before and of course Wang Li knew that rich people were really cared about privacy, so she didn''t dare to ask any questions. But then she remembered that Chen Yang actually studied in the same school as her.

    She really never thought much of it as she often saw Chen Yang riding bicycle to school. She thought that they were the same, just ordinary people. But in fact he was unexpectedly a rich kid, if it was not because she worked here then she wouldn''t have thought that Chen Yang was rich.

    After today''s work was all done, Wang Li was going to say goodbye to Chen An and prepare to go to school.

    "Are you going to school?" the man who was in the study room raised his head. His bright eyes reflected behind the mirror were gentle, slightlyugh toward this little girl who was standing in front of him and said, "Let Chen Yang drive you, coincidentally he is also going to go back to school."

    This one word then make Wang Li sat on the driver''s seat on the car.

    She quietly saw Chen Yang who was driving beside her, couldn''t hold her curiosity and asked: "Mr. Chen, why don''t you just drive car to go to school?"

    After all it seemed more practical to just drive car from Chen Yang''s house to the school, because the distance wasn''t that short if he was to ride bicycle. It also took a lot of energy toe and go by bicycle.

    "You can just call me Chen Yang."

    It seemed like the Chen Yang who was in Wang Li''s impression was the same, really gentle, as what Chen Yang showed to Wang Li was also this same gentle impression. This was what made this uncle and nephew very approachable, didn''t seemed like those rich people who she knew before as she thought one who was rich couldn''t be not arrogant, usually they only use <em>nose to see people</em> (meaning they got such arrogant attitude or to express the disgusting emotions).

    Why he wanted to ride bicycle to go to school rather than just drive a car?

    Chen Yang lips showed a slight smile, it wasn''t like he was intentionally trying to be low key. Although in these months it could be said that he was living a life like rich people, but his original purpose was only to be stronger. He didn''t want to let off any opportunities to train himself to be stronger.

    "Riding bicycle can train your body."

    He replied such a simple answer. Then he directly left after drive Wang Li back to her dormitory.

    As she arrived, there were some people in the female dormitory that saw Wang Li got out from a luxurious car, then came forward to surround Wang Li, rushes to asked, "WOooW, Wang Li, when do you hooked up with a rich man, who was the man in the car just now? Hurry up and exin it to me!"

    "Isn''t that car expensive? It looks like the most expensive one!"

    "Wang Li was trying to quickly exin and said: "It''s not like that, that was the young master where I do my part time job, he drive me home as he was also going on the same way as me, you guys shouldn''t speak carelessly, if they knew then they would fire me for sure." She has never thought on having special rtions between her and Chen Yang.

    "WOoooW, but he is really handsome right?" As soon as they heard the word ''young master'', the gossip girls immediately asked.

    Wang Li thought over and over it again as she imagined Chen Yang''s looks, then affirmatively nodded her head, "He isn''t only tall but also handsome, moreover he is a gentle person, and one who could work in the kitchen."

    She has seen Chen Yang personally gave his uncle Chen An shoulder massage and often made congee for Chen An, but this good rtionship between them wasn''t some fake kindness showed by Chen Yang only in the surface. Instead it was something that could really make you feel good, good from the heart.

    "Hey, isn''t Wang Li taking a part time job in a rich people house? Wooow I really envy you, still you could make him personally drive you to the school is really ¡­ I thought rich people was very arrogant." A long haired girl suddenly sighed at the side, "Not only rich, handsome, but also gentle and could work in the kitchen, it basically like a perfect man like in the drama."

    The short haired girl next to herughed and said: "Xiao Mei, isn''t Chen Yang also a handsome man? Moreover he is one who was very good to other people, in the past isn''t he often delivers food to you?"

    As soon as the girl called Xiao Mei opened her mouth, she impatiently said: "Don''t mention about it again, what is the use even if he is handsome? That brat Chen Yang would rather broke up with me only because he wants to take care that impediment uncle. Talking even before we get married he is already like that, then after we get married do we still have to support his uncle?"

    Chen Yang?

    Wang Li was slightly stunned, although she and Xiao Mei lived together in the same dormitory, but because they weren''t in the same ss, added by her part time job which made her often went outside, she didn''t know at all that Xiao Mei''s boyfriend was unexpectedly one was also called Chen Yang.

    This Chen Yang wasn''t Chen Yang who she knew right?

    "Uncle?" Wang Li interrupted her and asked.

    "Right, you don''t know that Chen Yang''s uncle had oncemitted suicide by jumping because he went bankrupt, then the doctor could save his life and he stayed in the hospital for a while, so that''s why Chen Yang has always continuously took care of him. If he was only going to took care of him when he was in the hospital then it was fine, but turned out that he also took care of him and brought him back home!"

    Xiao Mei got mad again as she continue to speak about it, "I have seen his uncle once in the past, he has a big belly and ugly teeth, what kind of job will he work if this kind of person continues to live in ShangHai? I have tried to persuade Chen Yang to let his uncle returned home, but then he became mad at me!"

    "Then you guys broke up just like that?" Wang Li asked.

    "Of course! I don''t want to be a nanny to take care his uncle, that man who is like one big bottle of oil, just thinking about it scares me." Xiao Mei took it for granted.

    Seeing herself and Wang Li kept talking, sheughed as her and Wang Li caught up like in the past, her face full of smiles and said "Wang Li, let''s just talk about the life of the rich with us, do you know how old is the young master who just sent you? Is he really that handsome?"

    With cold eyes Wang Li looked at Xiao Mei who was trying to fawn over her, Wang Li suddenly didn''t feel happy, if things were really like what Xiao Mei has said then it means in the past Chen Yang''s uncle may had experience the downfall in life, this could make her understood why Chen Yang was always so good to his uncle, it even brought some kind of protective feeling.

    "Actually the rich may sometimes be among us, but we just didn''t realize it." After she said this Wang Li turned her body and walked to the dormitory, didn''t pay attention to Xiao Mei anymore as she was trying to get picture and information from her.

    ¡­.

    "Clearly today you don''t need to go to school, but I even make you sent Wang Li back, don''t you feel curious on what I want you to do?"

    As Chen An sat down in the study room, he took off his ss and lean against the back of the chair, softly pinched his sore eyebrows, looked up at Chen Yang who was just went home after he sent Wang Li back.

    What a shame, he couldn''t see anything after he took of the ss, could only looked at the blurry shadow of one standing in the door, looks like his problems was still a lot, except for the originally fat and bad teeth which could be treated, his myopia was really a major problem.

    "I know uncle has you own purpose on whatever you''ve done." Seeing him looked so exhausted, Chen Yang walked in from the door and stand next to Chen An, "Just close your eyes, I''m going to give you a massage."

    Chen An heard it, faintly smile and leaning against the back of the chair, the moment he close his eyes he felt a pair of warm palm covering his eyes, Chen Yang gently rub his temple while trying to adjust his strength, he suddenly felt reallyfortable and refreshed.

    Slowly sighed, Chen An who was immersed infortzily said: "I have investigated Wang Li, her background is clear while also could be count as one who was very good in the aspect of engineering, the reason why she was epted to work part time here was only because this work pays more than if she do fieldwork in apany."

    "En, I also know her in school, she has always took first ce on machinepetition on several times she joined in." Chen Yang replied.

    "The level that I want to achieve would be far harder if we only depend on the two of us, we need to add more skillful or talented people to join us." Chen An close his eyes and reached out Chen An''s hands, calmly opened his mouth, "for now we will just see, we need to wait for the correct time and invite her to join us."

    "Uncle, I will manage it well."

    Heard the satisfying reply, Chen An smiled and softly pat Chen Yang''s hand.

    The next day, both Chen An and Chen Yang embarked on a journey to fly to Ukraine, except not only both of them, but Wang Hao also joined the travel this time.

    ¡ª

    [Uncle, you want to bring Wang Hao too?]

    [Let him tasted after the sweetness first, let this unpleasant kid feels that he was like the main protagonist in <<Lord of War>>, indifferent, let him have a good dream, which would also be hisst chance to dream.]

    If he was only in the background and sitting with money, then witnessing the war in person in the district where it took ce would definitely be a very different concept.

 Chapter 50

    Old fox teaching mode: B.E.G.I.N.S >,.,<

    Why were we going to Ukraine? Was it to sold weapons?

    Of course not, Ukraine has a mass of weapons left by the former Soviet Union. Although in these several years the things sold were already not much, but Ukraine clearly didn''tck weapons.

    Then what did theye here for? Of course to buy weapons, the previous Chen Zhang An have done lots of business in Ukraine. This time he will made use of his personal rtions from the past to deal in Ukraine.

    Although those people in the past maybe didn''t recognize the present Chen An, but he only have to know how to made connection with one from the military and made them recognize the bank note and that was enough.

    As Chen An and the others arrived in Ukraine, they directly fled from the Western Ukraine and avoid to go to Kiev as the recent chaotic situation happened in this capital city of Ukraine.

    "Overall, Ukraine could be divided into two, the East and West. There are heavy industry sector bases among the Eastern Ukraine which was the left over from the Soviet Union. Most people in the Western Ukraine speak Ukrainian while the East Ukraine was exactly the opposite. Mostly influenced by the Russia, most of the people there also spoke Russian, while people in Western Ukraine were mostly European and American."

    When they were in the car there wasn''t anything anyway, so Chen An casually talked to Chen Yang several things about Ukraine.

    "Don''t look at today''s pro-Europe Ukraine''s opposition who seemed to have already wielded power. As in the making for example, after they made the army to do a foolish thing, like to kneel in the mob, the domestic situation actually has be something that they couldn''t control anymore. Added by Russia''s coercion, their internal situation was like a mess of chaos and poverty. This time was exactly the opportune for use to take advantage of such situation where they were like fall into the abyss."

    Chen An looked out of the window as he said it. Ukraine actually has less people added by the chaos which turned it into today''s situation made us we couldn''t see many people even in the big street.

    He remembered when Soviet Union has just disintegrated, Ukraine per capita was the same with Russia. While for the living conditions it was even better than in the Russia. However after several years passed, Ukraine per capita didn''t evene one third of Russia''s.

    The upper ss people busily made money. As for some ignorant civilians, they believed that screaming on the street could turn their country''s fate. During the day the West side of the country gave investment, while at night went to participate in the sex-party. It could be said that the future of Ukraine was really dark.

    But what was the rtions between the life and death either in chaos or peace in Ukraine to Chen An? For them, arms traffickers, chaotic situation or war means profit, that''s all.

    Chen An and Chen Yang came together to a certain military camp in the army and as for Wang Hao, when they arrived in Kiev in the morning, they immediately threw him off there.

    One who hasn''t personally seen and experienced the turmoil was clearly to feel extremely into it. Looking at the lively opposition party in Kiev Square, the rebellious feeling in Wang Hao''s bones seems to have been ignited by it.

    Chen An dly let Wang Hao went and joined the opposition party as they went after the sh!t of democracy and freedom. After all, to take him along will be a nuisance.

    As soon as Chen An, this <strong><em>Lao Jiang Hu</em></strong>, was in contact with these Ukraine''s military private traders, as he was fluent in Ukrainiannguage and was familiar with the weapons type and price, he could very quickly negotiate a big number of weapons.<ul><li><strong><em>Lao Jiang Hu</em></strong> refers to someone who has been out for many years and has a good experience. Maybe someone who has an extraordinary skill and it is either a wise or a sly person??!</li></ul>

    Under the military supervision, he and Chen Yang could participate together these umtions of weapons that had not been used for many years in the warehouse. In contrast, these weapons put in the warehouse was also rusty, not as good as the pricey one but you still could make money from it if you could sell it quickly.

    When the domestic state fell into confusion, it was difficult to maintain the military funding. At the same time because the military''sck of money, they could only relied on the money from their private sales of weapons to their own private pockets which at the same time solved the problems for some of the soldiers.

    The weapons Chen An bought through the mercenary would get the protection from mercenary to the nearby port, then from the port through the ck Sea it could immediately transported to the middle east.

    "The turmoil in Ukraine is an opportunity for us, big weapons store disdain this kind of trash left by the Ukraine military, but for now, as the start up, the broken firearms could be also a break-even point to renew our capital."

    Chen An patted Chen Yang shoulder and said: "Time when you were by my side is too short, there are lots of things that I want you to grasp on isn''t always realistic. Although the pressure is a bit higher, but Chen Yang, only by this way you can learn more, while at the same time these experience will also be the key to your life insuranceter on."

    Where is my fluffyneeessss romance ~~~

    Btw, i found a pic of what my Chen An >.<

    do you think he is simr? ~(^-^)~

    Chapter 51

    During the day this group of people was blindly fooling around while at night they fallen into an upset party distorted by drugs. In the beginning this second-generation young master was still could be considered smart but then when waiting for Chen An and Chen Yang came back to Kiev and picked Wang Hao up after they came from the dock to transport the gun, he was actually already <em>floating in the air</em> (feeling high).

    Then as he wanted to go together with Chen An to Middle East, ce where he has only saw in the news in television, Wang Hao immediately became interested. Hence he decided to board aboard in a ship with Chen An and the others to go to Middle East in a good mood.

    Under the sun, the calm big sea was sparkling, and the charming blue sea was like a block of bright shiny sapphires. One will only saw it as if it was ordinary cargo ship which moves steadily on the sea as the hull breaks openyers of white spindrift.

    Some dressed as ordinary mercenary crew in the deck to patrol whereas Wang Hao could be consideredpletely wasted inside the cabin right now with some Ukrainian''s beauty yed swimsuit party.

    Chen Yang both hands tightly gripped the handrail. Looking at the boundless blue made him feel a little dizzy. He forced himself to close his eyes, But his gaze wandering at the man sitting in the bow deck.

    Chen An sat alone in the bow deck of the cargo ship. His back leaned of the bench, his hand held a cigar, both his legs crossed each other, and quietly looked at the endless blue sea ahead which made one couldn''t know what he was thinking about.

    There was an emotion that Chen Yang couldn''t understand inside that pair of gentle and soft phoenix eyes like water hyacinth (hygroscopic eyes). Sometimes he felt Chen An was clearly beside him but at the same time was also far away from him. This kind of insecurity often made him wanted to hug Chen An tightly in his arms as afraid the man would disappeared in a blink of an eye.

    This feeling, what did it mean?

    There was something that make him felt nervous since that night after where a man kissed Chen An when he was drunk. But he also didn''t dare to deeply think about that emotional pain in his heart.

    Then afterwards he saw Chen An continuously in front of him disyed various capabilities and in this moment he suddenly was like stepped into a whole new world. At the same time facing whole new things that can''t be epted but also deeply afraid to be left behind, until the distance with Chen An be more and more far.

    The current him has no longer energy to think of what kind of feeling he actually had toward his own uncle. He only knew that he must be stronger. What he wanted was not only to keep up with Chen An but also to be able to have the capabilities to walk together with him.

    However right now, the more he stayed with Chen An, the more insecure he was, the more he found out there was a terrible gap between him and Chen An.

    Under the protection from the mercenaries they safely got into Middle East from where they bought the weapons, Ukraine. Under the influence of Ukraine''s situation, the majority of people looked for the ce to stop over in Ukrainend, that''s why in this aspect Middle East was one where people paid close attention to.

    However didn''t have many people pay attention to didn''t mean this chaotd was that quite. Everyday there were still some wars here, everyday people died, and everyday bullet was shot.

    While there was demand, then there was supply.

    As for Wang Hao and Chen Yang, this unfamiliarnd, Middle East, was something novel. In their journey before this, they would always sit in the car and looked the outside world only through the window until they came here to the buyer''s base camp this time, certain base camp.

    As the car slowly enter, there was a soldier strictly guarding like an armed force. Chen An looked toward the outside, eyeful the loess withered, the soldier that wear anti-dust ck hood who was guarding at the gateway of the base only exposed a pair of cold eyes, eyes tightly gripped a ck machine gun.

    He slowly retracted his line of sight toward Chen Yang and Wang Hao who was at the side.

    Chen Yang looked very calm, wasn''t became too nervous or excited because he discovered the armed base was the same like in the movies and news. Chen An secretly nodded, this kid really has the potential.

    As for Wang Hao, Chen An looked at the other side and clearly he was nervous. He then directly retracted his line of sight as there was nothing to look at.

    One who was responsible to receive Chen An and the others was one nicknamed Admiral Wild Wolf. His age was simr like Chen An, but an admiral who has long been in battlefield obviously looked more capable and sharp. But unexpectedly he was shorter and smaller than the ordinary people.

    However, nobody will underestimate this small general after they looked at that pair of aggressive eyes full of bloodthirsty.

    "Wee to Syria." Admiral Wolf grinned then revealed a jagged tooth.

    P.S: Will update more chapters tomorrow ~~

 Chapter 52

    Well then i guess this one is also Rai?? But somehow I think this pic suit Chen Yang >.<

    Anyway here Chapter 52 ~~~

    Right now in Syria, besides these two faction, the government forces and freedom army, also existed some local armed forces as this time for example, Chen An has transactions with General Assad as the buyer.

    Early in the past, it was a business transactions between Chen An and General Assad''s father and these kinds of local armed forces was specifically popr where <em>the son inherited his father¡¯s business.</em> Assad and his father were different, as he has studied abroad then the mindset between them would also be somehow different.

    Admiral Wild Wolf was one of the general worked under Assad, although he was also in the beginning of thirties, but from small he was in the battlefield and <em>go through arduous training or hard work.</em> After past several decades he already sat in the top position under Assad.

    Firearms business was <em>a fatty business</em>. Admiral Wolf was personally responsible for this transaction. In one side, not only there was Assad''s trust, but there was also Admiral Wolf who was in strict control of the weapons.<ul><li>Here, fatty business (f¨¦i ch¨¤) refers to the errands that can benefit more from it. One may regarded it as a profit while the other may regarded it as something poor and bad.</li></ul>

    Despite the fact that they can''t bought the first-rate weapons with high rate precision, but yet couldn''t spend money to buy firearms who can''t be used by anyone, as well as the opportunity where Chen An could make rtions with Assad this time, were all relied on the fact he had those small friendship between him and Assad''s father in these past ten years.

    "The general told me that you are the old man''s man?" While in one hand he skillfully and quickly checked the weapons, on the other hand heughed then spoke English to Chen An and started a conversation.

    As he breathed out the smoke, he grabbed an AK-74U. After he loaded the bullet he held it toward an open space and shot it out, and suddenly there was a burst of yellow smoke. Wang Hao who was next to him was still one who has once been in a non-shooting club ce saw there was someone who grabbed a gun and fire it, his frighten face turned into white pale face.

    Although Chen An''s face was expressionless, but in his heart he was also slightly shocked.

    Chen An also grabbed an AK74U, he caressed it as if he was caressing a child, he gently stroking the guns with barrel and softlyughed: "young men nowadays were all like scaredy cat, this old man already rest for many years, only came out once in a while doing some activities wasn''t that bad, lest being forgotten by the world."

    At the same time as he replied to Admiral Wolf words, Chen An also didn''t forget topliment the goods that he brought: "These AK-74U could be counted as this old man''s meeting gift to Assad, I believed General Assad would like it."

    Because right now Ukraine was in chaos, Chen An has just be able to get into these big batch of weapons. Usually if one wanted to get these Soviet''s goods, it wasn''t that easy. While for those who were in the armed forces'' in the war area, no one would ever reject AK-74.

    In those years, Soviet Union made sure everyone was equipped with AK-74U as they went against Afghanistan in the war. Its lethality actually wasn''t in the gun itself but was in the lead bullet''s. Almost of people who shot it would die from the lead poisoning.

    "Really not bad." Admiral Wolfughed and continuously nodded his head, "It''s such a shame as in these days General Assad isn''t here. Otherwise he will be so eager to meet you, but of course don''t worry Mr. Chen. Although the General isn''t here I will also entertain you."

    "Anyway there''s still lots of time today, let''s go with me, we can y some little games." Wolf said then directly went forward.

    "I ¡­., where will we go?" From the start Wang Hao was unable to understand what Chen An was talking about, he continuously asked, his face was starting to paled, to this blind arrogance second-generations master, did you really expect he could speak English??

    Chen An really didn''t know what he had done all along in those days he was in Kiev, this current Wang Hao was so muddled. He faintly saw that from the start there were several scared young men. The sound was soft but it also shows ruthlessness.

    "They invite us to y some little games. Don''t be nervous, there was nothing to worry about." Chen An faintlyughed then turned his head. Chen Yang also walked away with him.

    He saw Chen An and Chen Yang just went along and going to leave him alone, so even though Wang Hao really didn''t want to go but he also didn''t dare to be alone.

    After they sat on the jeep and passed through the base, they arrived in an empty space. There were some soldiers who were holding gun stood near. After they went off the car, they saw a row of six to seven people kneeling on the ground.

    P.S: So sorry but i¡¯m already so sleepy so I will only post one chapter for today and one more tomorrow. Goodnight ~~~

 Chapter 53

    Complete one ~~~

    Chapter 53

    In one row there was six to seven people whose head was covered under ck hood while both hands were seized away as they were kneeling on the floor. Chen An could even heard these men''s desperate crying and broken sound like whispering as they were brought here.

    "They ¡­ what are they doing?" Wang Hao was stunned as he looked at these people. His original pale face now became whiter.

    Chen An merely nced at Chen Yang who was next to him and didn''t say anything. Of course he knew what these people had done, yet knew what kind of little games that this man called Admiral Wolf was nning to do.

    "Our General Assad has several unwritten rules. Whatever weapons that was bought and brought here must first stained by blood. Since Mr. Chen was our General''s man, then this authority lied on Mr. Chen."

    Admiral Wolf grinned and showed a couple of his gold teeth while his pair of bloodthirsty eyes showed a bit of malicious interest as if he was waiting for Chen An to show them a good show.

    Being one who was trafficking weapons didn''t mean that he would also kill someone by his own hands. Even one who became weapons dealer for their entire life may had never even killed someone with their own hand.

    Chen An still remembered that in the past, he was really calm at the surface as he had killed a man by his own hands. But after he got back home, he was starting to go drinking, because when he wanted to close his eyes it was as if he could saw that man who he killed was lying on his bed and looked at him, with face full of blood.

    But at that time, Zhang Le will always stay be his side and gently hugged him as he would always said: brother, I will always be with you forever, even if after this life we may went to hell but I will apany you.

    Time went by very fast, he sighed, under Admiral Wolf watched Chen An picked up a hand gun. As he was about to load the bullet, the man who was beside him held his hand.

    "Uncle, let me do it." As Chen Yang looked at Chen An who took the hand gun from him, the smile under his backlight was still bright and beautiful, "I''m afraid with their blood will just dirty your hands."

    When he thought about it again, even from the beginning Chen Yang didn''t want to let Chen An to somehow in contact with other people blood, just as he was told to thrown away the shoes that were licked by Liu Xiao Jie. This kind of thing was just fine if he was the one who did it.

    His heart was unexpectedly calm, he wasn¡¯t fluttered , his palms also didn''t get wet as the result of nervousness. Chen Yang was actually surprised at his self-collectedness while at the same time there was another kind of consciousness, where maybe in the past life he was actually a murderous viin.

    "Chen Yang, don''t force yourself." Chen An slightly frowned, he wanted to trained Chen An, but it wasn''t to let Chen Yang faced too much in one go like this.

    Killing, this word seemed to be familiar, even in a movie sometimes the protagonist could openly killed its enemy, however obviously all were fake death.

    "Uncle, I''m not forcing myself."

    Chen Yang gently smiled while holding the hand gun, followed by the curious gaze from Admiral Wolf and solemn line of sight from Chen An, as well as Wang Hao''s horror as he pressed the trigger.

    "Baang! Baaaaang! Baaang! ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C"

    Apanied by a loud gunshot, the prisoner who was in the first row didn''t even make any sound as their head fell into the ground, as the ck hood now dyed red as if one might give offrge amount of wet traces.

    Followed by the second bang! another bang! and continued ¡­¡­. until thest bullet was shot as thest prisoner''s head fell into the ground. Six bullets as each were hit urately on the deadly point of each prisoner, one shot per person.

    Afterwards Chen Yang slowly put down the gun. His hand which was holding the gun was slightly trembling. It was not because of fear, nervous, or even more not because he felt remorse.

    He actually got an inexplicable excitement, an unfamiliar but strange excitement which simr like drug followed by the pound in his heart, which willfully flows in his blood, made it hard for him to suppress this stimtion as every corner in his body was cken hard.

    Chen An knew that he should be happy to discover that Chen Yang has a great talent when he saw this calm side of Chen Yang. But instead of being happy, he somehow had this inexplicable uneasiness inside his heart.

 Chapter 54

    Sorry for thete update ¡­ i will update two chapters today, one more tomorrow, and also two edited chapter by Kyaakuma ~~~

    Chapter 54

    Was Chen Yang really stupid?

    If he was really stupid then he wouldn''t be the only one who was admitted to Shanghai University from his hometown. If he was really stupid then he wouldn''t be able to grasp all those kinds of knowledge that Chen Yang gave to him in just half of a year time. Moreover he wouldn''t be able to brilliantly found a slight hint of worry in Chen An''s eyebrow after the first time he had killed six people with his own hands.

    Although they have only lived together for a short time after Chen An was back from the hospital, but there was still an invisible wall between the current him and the past him which made him uncertain into what Chen An was thinking in his heart from the beginning till the end.

    However now he could feel it, in regard about Chen An towards him

    Because towards Chen An, there was a constant concern, but this didn''t mean Chen An would open his heart to him. He knew Chen An had lots of secrets.

    One of it was why he was like a whole different person when he was out of the hospital. Why he was suddenly skilled on talking in severalnguages, and also why he was exquisitely experienced in such a threshold of arms trading business?

    Was the current Chen An still his uncle? Theoretically, Chen Yang should have lots of questions, but in his heart he didn''t really mind it.

    As they wanted to go back to the hotel when they were back to Syria, Wang Hao, who was overwhelmed, buried himself in the room as he looked for several Ukranian''s beauties he brought with him.

    While after Chen Yang followed Chen An back to their room, didn''t wait for Chen An to speak he directly sit on the side of the bed and started trembling. But both his eyes were still bright even clear. These few days his eyes showed Chen Yang a look of nervousness and panic. His mouth twitched and only stated a word: "Uncle ¡­"

    Looking at the current Chen Yang, Chen An''s eyebrow starting to rx, he thought that the calm Chen Yang just now was a pretend. Moreover, there were lots of people when they were too nervous and panic turned into very slow, so slow that it needed to take some time as they slowly reacted to it, just like many people who suddenly was met with emergency case then they would often looked distracted some didn''t even move.

    "Sigh ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª"

    Chen An walked into him and directly extend his hands to hug the nervous Chen Yang, simr to when kids were frightened. Gently patted his back and softly said: "Someone''s life or death isn''t something we could determine, even if today you didn''t kill them, they also would die.

    "But ¡­ I was the one who killed them ¡­"

    The breath was full of Chen An''s warm breath, Chen Yang was satisfied yet greedily hug the man back, he even didn''t remember thest time when were they this close.

    But even if it has been quite a long time yet that kind of touch as when he kissed that man''s lips and chest that night has deeply lingering in his brain which made him somehow reminiscing it again and again.

    If by him behave nervous and panic could make Chen An hug him all around then was willing to pretend like that.

    Even though didn''t know what was the reason but there Chen Yang was somehow has a strong intuition, he wanted to be strong, and stronger, but couldn''t let Chen An saw his true intention

    "Everyone has their own fate, those people fate are to die today, what you have done was very good, at least you let them have a quick death without pain."

    Chen An''s words showered lout a burst of wet breath to his neck, Chen Yang was shaking so much but it was neither because he was scared nor nervous.

    The stimtion and excitement after he previously killed people with his own hands still didn''tpletely disappeared, Chen An''s hug and hot breath as he was speaking was like <em>putting oil on the fire</em> which made him almost go crazy as it was really hard to endure it.

    He imagined that night as he willfully kissed Chen An, kissed that man''s lips, tip of the nose, and eyes. Every corner, from hair to his toe, he wanted to put in his hand into his shirt, having him like at that time with Ivanov, wanted to let his caress linger on every corners of Chen An''s body.

    But he also knew that this wasn''t something that he could do right now.

    "Uncle, don''t leave me."

    Chen Yang said over and over again, seizing the chance to tightly hugged Chen An. He knew he hugged him rather strong, so strong he reckon he let Chen Yang felt pain, made their chest touch one another so much that they could hear the heartbeat of the other person. But even so, he still didn''t let go his hand.

    Breathing loudly in attempted to make himself calm, but it wasn''t because of the reason Chen An''s thinking of. Chen Yang only didn''t want to let himself turned crazy.

    But this time one clear fact was leaped into Chen Yang''s brain: Did he fall in love with Chen An? Didn''t know when it started, but his gaze didn''t leave Chen An at all like poison which hopelessly infatuated this powerful yet mysterious man.

 Chapter 55

    Here we goooow

    Chapter 55

    "Was that crazy Lu Feng ate the wrong medicine? He just suddenly broke off our cooperation like a mad dog directly bite and didn''t let me go."

    Slowly exhale the smoke, Ivanov wore a pair of sunsses as he lying doing the <em>four limbs</em> on the bench, his left hand holding a ss of wine filled with golden liquid while his right hand holding a fresh cigar that was air transported from Cuba. By his side there were even lots of beauties pressing on his shoulder and applying sunscreen.

    "Aiyaaa, even though he said he was always a mad dog but in the past Chen Zhang An had this dog chained and wasn''t biting everywhere like this. However now Chen Zhang An was already killed bu Lu Feng and there was certainly no one could coax Lu Feng anymore.

    As the sun was shining in a blue pool, a hot blonde beauty surfaced from the pool, hands painted under a metallic nail polish lying on the shore. The beauty looked at Ivanov who took pleasure looking at her appearance and said: "Only you will think to cooperate with Lu Feng while he has killed the old man you have been secretly in love with."

    "Katyusha, I really don''t like what you''re saying, do you knew there was an old Chinese saying ''to live but not able to see the man, to die but not able to see the corpse''? Right now this was the situation with Chen Zhang An, many said he was dead, but I could''t believe he was dead as I didn''t directly saw his corpse."

    Drinking a mouth of strong vodka, Ivanov lightlyughed and said: "No one is able to kill Chen Zhang An, except the old fox himself."

    As for Lu Feng, he could kill him? He didn''t believe it!

    Originally I want to expand my business by working together with Lu Feng while secretly investigating Chen Zhang An''s whereabouts but even before I could work together with Lu Feng, that mad dog has suddenly broke off our cooperation, even deliberately sending people to vie his business.

    Instead this sudden act really made him curious, even though Lu Feng''s character was a little crazy but at time was really smart. Couldn''t suddenly for no reason broke off the cooperation with him like that.

    Then what was the reason Lu Feng did this?

    The only reason he could think of was that old fox as only that old fox could gave him such a big impact.

    "Katyusha" a corner of his mouth moved and exhale the smoke, "Go investigate whether there was something wrong or unusual with Lu Feng."

    "Aiyaa, everyone doesn''t let me rest even for couple of days and just sent me to go out again, I really don''t know how to pity this man, why is my life so hard?"

    The blonde beauty came up from the swimming pool, bodyguard at the side immediately gave her the bath towel. The woman took the towel, draped it on her body, and walked over to Ivanov: "Don''t me me for not reminding you, these days there was someone who secretly buying weapons in your base camp and transported it to Middle East."

    Ivanov waved his hand freely and carelessly: "I know, it was only a few small fish shrimp."

    Basically one who was a heavyweight weapons dealer like Ivanov don''t even want to take a look on that kind of trash or those weapons shipped from Ukraine. To be an weapons predator, rarely gave little living space for those fish shrimp, he was such a good person! So moved making one want to cry!

    However these days because Lu Feng deliberately provoke him, made him lost hundreds or millions of dors, even though the money wasn''t that much still it wasn''t good, if you can''t pay loyalty then you don''t need to say it.

    Lu Feng ah Lu Feng, Am I, Ivanov was so easily provoked? Weren''t Chinese people was one who will always do reciprocity? Since you have gave me gifts again and again, then how could I didn''t gave you back the gifts?

    Didn''t care whether the old fox was still alive or not, but since you like that old fox so much then I would give you an old fox.

    "Oh,e, you are juste in the right time Katyusha, quickly came and looked at my masterpiece, how is it, wasn''t he was simr like the old fox?" The corner of his eyes suddenly nced at the man who was escorted by a group of bodyguards. Heughed and immediately jumped on the lounge chair, pointing with pride toward the man they came with to show off to Katyusha.

    P.S: The name of Katyusha is something i used straight after tranting with Mr. Google so well maybe it is a bit weird hahaha

 Chapter 56

    Hellooow .. thanks for the wait and sorry couldn¡¯t share itst sunday. So without any further due, here we gooow >.<

    Chapter 56

    Then she gradually caught a glimpse a man simr to Chen Zhang An walking in front of her. Not only the height, the figure, and how he dressed were also very simr with the old fox.

    But how could there be two people whopletely looked alike? Even twins may notpletely looked the same and not to mention two people who grew up with their own background or surroundings.

    At first, when she saw him, this imposter was simr to the old fox in some perspectives. But then when you looked carefully in the detail, it was a no no because it was actually the result of stic surgery. Even if there wasn''t any obvious signs of stic surgery but there were several ces that were too fixed and the most important thing was the big difference in the temperament.

    The reason he was called the old fox was because he was the old fox. Besides Chen Zhang An cunning moves there was his unique temperament that was unfathomable and as wide as the sea which none could prate what Chen Zhang An was thinking about in his heart.

    When Chen Zhang An walk in front of you then you could also feel the imposing manner emitted from his body. His temperament was something that can''t be feign as it was his umtion of experiences for decades.

    "Do you really feel that this imposter could deceive Lu Feng?" I don''t think so.

    Ivanov justughed and walked to the imposter side. He reached out his waist then pinched out his chin. Looking at Katyusha''s face full of distain and raised her chin: "Dear, is it would be likely to let this imposter to Lu Feng''s side?

    Then he leaned his head and gaze towards the imposter who has went through training for more than half a year. Although it was impossible topare him with the genuine one but some of his behavior and demeanor already had a bit of the old fox''s charm.

    But still ¡­¡­ made people excited.

    No wonder that kid, Lu Feng, couldn''t even bear it for thesest few years. He quickly wielded his power and trying to knock down the old fox, changed his word. As if he was someone who could only see but could not eat the seductive and dangling old fox, then he guessed he maybe took the same path as Lu Feng and got the same oue.

    He walked beside the old fox with loyalty and devotion, hoped one day the old fox could and would open his heart and has an intimate rtionship with him. But then it was simply a nonsense as there was no other way except to push him down. _(???¡¹¡Ï)_

    "Chen Zhang An, Chen Zhang An, you really are my nightmare."

    Gently pinched the imposter''s chin, Ivanov eyes quickly shed a trace of loss which other''s didn''t aware of. In a blink of an eye he turned again into an arrogant bear, then blinked his eyes to Katyusha: "My dear, Lu Feng will pleased you."

    After he said this, Ivanov brought the imposter and went to the guest room. He really didn''t look like the old fox as in this world there was no other person who was like him.

    "Take off your pants and give it to me, it was enough to just wear the white shirt."

    While he was smoking a cigar, his hands were also carrying a camera. Ivanov''s foot was on the imposter''s thigh and his eyes which before were like a blue jade became a steam, then ruthlesslymanded: "lean over and turned you head over."

    If it was close contact then for sure he would immediately able to distinguish the imposter and the genuine one. However if it was concealed and taking the picture from a good angle? Then even if Lu Feng knew he was an imposter, he would still blow up.

    Because in contrast if they weren''t partners then they would want to put each other''s opponentpletely dead and didn''t need to depend on how the other feels, right?

    As for what to shoot, CKCKCK, it''s enough to be fake yet happy in front of him.

    The imposter followed Ivanov''s order and only wore an open white shirt, leaning in the bed and put out an extremely seducing posture. As for Ivanov, he only reveals a small half of face full of shame, then pressed the camera in his hand.

    However didn''t know why, a glimpse of one''s man appearance suddenly leap into his mind.

    "Chen An ¡­" Ivanov whispered the name of that man. Really, even though it has been a long time but he still couldn''t forgot it.

    If you couldn''t forget it then you can go get it.

 Chapter 57

    Random update then going to disappear again ~~~ bye and <em>bonne nuit ~</em>

    "The goods Assad gave to us were really good, he even asks me to continue and buy more goods from him, but this time he wants us to buy in arge quantity hehehe."

    Put off his sses, Chen An showed a cold smile, this was the result he has expected early on, who didn''t want the better and more advance weapons? Only if it were some weapons which couldn''t even be bought by money.

    Of course Chen An could have Assad supplied him with better andrger weapons, but if it was that way then he must join thepetition of a high rank weapons dealer which will inevitably attract Ivanov and Lu Feng.

    Nowadays he only relied on the rich experience and connection he had in his previous life, trafficking ordinary guns and ammunition was already beyond many small weapons dealers. His growing speed was so high, moreover without any background in being a weapons dealer he will inevitably start to attract more people, and even if it was like that then what did he have to avoid?

    In contrast, sooner orter he will have to make a positive confrontation with Ivanov and those kinds of people.

    Simply this time he could hand it over and Chen Yang go? Chen An was ying with a pen in his hand. He was contemting for a while and got up from the chair, both hands was put in his pocket then stood in front of the window in the study room quietly looked at the dazzling night of Shanghai.

    If it was to train Chen Yang then he could let Chen Yang to personally went to a trip, in his heart he also believed Chen Yang could finished it well because his growing speed was simply too fast.

    Was this fate? Letting him rebirth into the body of a loser where there was a very talented nephew in terms of weapons business right under his nose.

    "Zhang Le, what do you think I should do?¡± Brother, I wasn''t someone who was indecisive, from the beginning when he nning to train Chen Yang he should have known that there was noing back once they stepped on this road.

    After all, should he let Chen Yang walked on this road with no return or let Chen Yang have a gorgeous life that he truly belong to?

    Suddenly Chen An have a moment of doubt whether the decision he took at the very beginning was correct or no. If he totally didn''t have any feelings for Chen Yang then probably will fully used the other like a tool, but when he saw Chen Yang, he would always remember Zhang Le and Lu Feng, the contradiction and struggle.

    Then he suddenlyughed, Chen Yang raised his lips as if he was mocking himself. He had died once anyway, it didn''t matter on what will happen in the future.

    He wanted to see for himself exactly what kind of ending did God want him to have as God has made him rebirth.

    Don''t care what kind of ending, he would dly epted it.

    "Chen Yang, is there any problem?"

    Being called by Chen Yang to his study room, Chen An has decided to hand over the weapons business so Chen Yang could manage it this time. With the experience thest time they went together from Ukraine to the Middle East, he believed this time Chen Yang should have no problem.

    ¡ª

    As expected, Chen Yang nodded his head without any hesitant. With how fast he answered it let Chen An deeply understand that Chen Yang was indeed more powerful than what he imagined.

    This young man really became stronger and stronger.

    "Uncle ¡­" Chen Yang gave a hesitant look.

    "What''s wrong?"

    Uncle, when I am not here you must take good care of yourself."

    Chen An had thought of what Chen Yang had wanted to say, didn''t expect it was because he was worry about him.

    He suddenlyughed: "I am safer in this country than when I was with you in the Middle East, you brat only need to take care of yourself, even though there are mercenaries beside you, but after all that ce is the most chaotic one. After you finished the business transaction, you need to immediately go back, do you understand?"

    Chen Yang gave a wry smile and nodded his head, this time he must not go back to Middle Ears, first it was to proof that he could have a unique opportunity, second to personally contact the other party who bought and sold weapons as it could add his own social rtions. He was just simply felt uneasy when he thought about leaving Chen An alone.

    What should he do if there was someone who intentionally approached him when he was away?

    What should he do if there was that man called Ivanov who he met half a year ago showed up again?

    Didn''t care whether something has happened half a year ago but for sure Chen Yangpletely couldn''t rest assured, hepletely couldn''t forget when that man called Ivanov kept his eye on Chen An.

    He understood the meaning of that expression in his eyes.

 Chapter 58

    Yay ~~~ More chapter for those who were ¡®Chen An x Ivanov¡¯ shipper ~~

    Chapter 58

    After Chen Yang walked away, the originally quiet world became even more quite

    "Wang Li, do you find it?" Chen An walked to the study room holding a newspaper in his hands. The woman who sat down in front of theputer looked up with eyes full of excitement and nodded: "Uncle Chen, I found it."

    "Sure enough to let a programming experte cleaning everyday was a waste of talent." Chen Anughed as he said it.

    Wang Li who was praised became shy and her face got all red: "Uncle Chen, I will go get you a drink."

    "En, thanks." He came to theputer, sat down and slightly blinked his eyes looking at the information. Sure enough, he could found some old fellows'' except for himself.

    Didn''t have the umtion of wealth and talent for these ten years was the same like ''<em>make bricks without straw</em>''. Even though one had the experience and capability but it would still difficult except if he had Ivanov''s big kingdom and Lu Feng behind him. Thus he still needed to search some trustworthy people.

    "I have found you."

    ¡­¡­

    In a poorly lit bar sat several people in two three line while the female jazz singer in the stage performed an enchanting and beautiful song.

    "Mister, what do you want?" The young and handsome bartender''s face was full with a weing smile as he looked at a guest who had just arrived. The man dressed in a simple and refined appearance while that pair of ssed that he wore made him looked like a warm and elegant man with a restrained temperament.

    "Soda water." Chen An sat near the bar counter. He took out one hundred yuan from his wallet and handed it over to him as he saw the astonished look on the bartender''s face, "No need for a change."

    The astonished look on the bartender''s face quickly disappeared as he warmly smiled: "Okay, please wait for a while."

    It could be said that the only one who run into a bar drinking soda was only Chen An, Chen An''s heart was a little ufortable as he looked at the varieties of wine on the bartender table. In the past he could drink a lot without getting drunk but now he couldn''t even drink one and this change was a hard thing for him to ept.

    Then he turned his head down and looked at the phone, the top was a message from Chen Yang who has just went overseas. The goods have been brought from Ukraine and right now they were going to go to the Middle East. Everything was fine.

    If what Chen An has done before was to make a business that sold ordinary weapons, then this time it was to let Chen Yang handled a big business like helicopter and tank. He only worried that this would quickly attract that hairy bear after all Ukraine has always been Ivanov''s territory.

    Snatching things from Ivanov''s territory, that hairy bear would certainly ¡­¡­.

    "I almost couldn''t recognize you, it has only been half a year, ckckck (£þ©`£þ) My Dear, how could you be so charming?"

    This familiar voice meant something bad wasing. He didn''t expect he would really came just when he thought about that hairy bear. He calcted the time and practically Lu Feng could only be involved with Ivanov for half a year.

    But what he didn''t expect was Ivanov hasn''t forgotten him after they met half a year ago, this time could be counted as a fate-like encounter or maybe this hairy bear was deliberately looking for him.

    "I think I won''t be able to recognize you if I didn''t get a message that you are here."

    Okay ¡­ It turned out he was deliberately looking for him.

    Chen An didn''t move from where he was. He just slightly looked at the pretty blonde man dressed in a suit beside him. Ivanov''s temperament was like an aristocrat in the Russian Empire and the handsome figure made this man clearly looking eminent whenever he went.

    But obviously, there was also this cold bodyguard besides Ivanov.

    Originally there weren''t many people in the bar. Then he looked around and after a while, found that the only one left was only him and several of them.

    "Mister, your soda water ¡­" It was also the first time the bartender saw this kind of sight, somewhat nervous as he put the ss of soda water near Chen An side and keep watching with an alert eyes toward Ivanov and the others.

    Ivanovughed as he sat down beside Chen An. Using a standard Chinese and said "One ss of Vodka." Then he was caught by Chen An just when he wanted to reached out Chen An''s waist and touched it.

    Ivanov held the man''s hand, grinning and revealing his neat white teeth, said: "Ckck (£þ©`£þ) My Dear is so cold, is it that you don''t remember me? But that''s okay, I will make you remember."

    T.N: Sorry for the long wait ~~ I will try to post one chapter per week from now on as well as picking up new novel maybe ~~

 Chapter 59

    Will try to squeeze out more chapter these days ~~

    Chapter 59

    "How could I forget you who look like a shameless and despicable viin?" Slowly drank the soda water, Chen An squint his eyes as he looked at his hands gripped by Ivanov, there was a sh of coldness in his eyes, "little friend, let go of my hand!"

    Little friend?

    When he heard Chen An called him like this, Ivanov suddenly couldn''t help but tough, he looked at Chen An''s joke without any wrinkles on his face and said: "I don''t know that Chinese people really like <em>self-respect</em> as ording to our age differences, at most you are older only by six or seven years."

    "As to what I have said, as an adult, you should have the behavior of an adult. This kind of thing you have just done ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­." Chen An deliberately squint his eyes towards his hands that was still gripped by Ivanov, "This was only a trifle thing."

    "Then if this is what you could a trifle thing where is the adult behavior that adults should have?" Regardless how old he was sticking out the tip of his tongue and licking his lips, deliberately gets closer to the man and mischievously whispered, "An, why don''t we go to another room and slowly doing the appropriate things as what should be done between some adults."

    Chen An unexpectedly caught up with Ivanov and said: "Like what?"

    Their tip of the nose was close to touch one another, Chen An''s gaze was without warning deeply fell into Ivanov''s sight. When this oriental man suddenly moved close to him, Ivanov felt his own heart seemed to skip a beat.

    The moment Ivanov started to ck away, Chen An easily broke away the imprisonment of this giant hairy bear.

    Afterwards Chen An slightly leaned backward and gently rub his hands that was gripped by Ivanov, drinking his soda water again in a reserved manner as if nothing has happened just now.

    "Are you kidding me?" This was his first time feeling that the one who had the power to initiate something wasn''t actually in his hands. Ivanov dangerously raised his eyes toward Chen An.

    "What actually do you want? Is it because I reject the pride and confident you? That''s why you are feeling frustrated and humiliated? Want to seduce me to satisfy your ridiculous self esteem or maybe simply to look for me?

    There was a bit of anger in Ivanov''s expression which scared him. This kind of ¡­ didn''t look as if he was pretending. Looking at the calmness out and inside his heart, he felt there was a sense of powerlessness as if he punched onto a sponge.

    "Ivanov, what do you want for you to look for me here?" Reached out to hold the handsome man''s hands with distinct angr chin, Chen An''s move was undoubtedly extremely dangerous to others.

    "Well ¡ª¡ª¡ª- It be more and more interesting." Ivanov felt that his own blood begin to boil, it has already been too long since there was someone who could make him feel this excited.

    Whether it was his own self esteem or want to be near to Chen An? Ivanov wasn''t so boring, to be the descendants of a natural born to fight thus there was a unique Russian character of being direct and violent in his blood. If he was dissatisfied with someone then he wouldn''t work hard to humiliate the other side, and for those who was too much trouble, he would immediately shoot it down.

    Blunt and simple, like to safe trouble and be practical.

    "Do you have any interest to be my lover?"

    While holding the ss full of wine in his hand, Ivanov had this carnivorous look which seemed casual but staring deadly at the man beside him as he drank a mouthful added ice cubes.

    The strong alcohol was spreading between the lips and tongue, Ivanov sighed with relief, the tall and thin but powerful fingers gently tapping at the bar''s counter table: "There aren''t many perfect lovers like me, An."

    "You are still so direct and rude, Ivanov." Chen An really wanted to give this narcissist hairy bear <em>a big white eye</em>, regardless of whether he will agree with Ivanov or not.

    With this kind of casual attitude of Ivanov''s, it was clear that he has basically never talked about love before or loved someone.

    "I know that you are really rich and also powerful, basically I couldn''tpete with you under my current situation." Ivanov was a blunt man but it didn''t mean Chen An was also someone like that.

    If not then how his nickname could be the old fox? One needed wisdom to solve things instead of using force.

    Since there was no way to get rid of Ivanov, Chen An was brainstorming, then he threw a bait to Ivanov: "How about if we y a game?"

    "It sounds like a trap." Ivanov''s alertness wasn''t reduced but at the same time he felt excited as he was hang up by Chen An, "Come on let me hear, what kind of game is it."

    "I bet you who are born as a wealthy man for sure haven''t seriously talked about love, even maybe has never pursuit someone like an ordinary person did."

    After he heard Chen An''s word, Ivanov has guessed what this sly person wanted to talk about, he disdainfullyughed: "why do I need to go and pursuit others like an ordinary person, I can get what I wanted just by hooking my finger."

    "But obviously not everyone eats it." Chen An directly poured down a pot of cold water, after all Ivanov wasn''t an ordinary man, but the old fox naturally also had other way to hook up this hairy bear.

    An invisible fox tail shakes behind him, Chen An''s finger gently rub the edge of the cup: "Things that easily gotten, don''t care whether it was man or other things, and easily be tired of it. Don''t want to try to chase me?"

    "Maybe I will eventually be your lover." He drunk a mouthful of soda, the corner of his eye swept toward the man beside him, Chen An put down the ss and looking back, "Or maybe you felt that you couldn''t get me?"

    "Don''t use that kind of encouragement tactic with me An." His mouth said it but Ivanov''s glittering eyes clearly showed an interested look.

    "Let me see you charm Ivanov." Smiling, the man reached out his hands and gently stroked the bear''s cheek in front of him, "In three months, you could try to move my heart, in this three months you couldn''t be reckless, after this game ends, how you love is up to you."

    He held Chen An''s hand which touching his cheek, Ivanov''s eyes beaming: "This game sounds good, in three months, you will love me, Chen An!"

    This time Ivanov said his full name with a calm and confident tone.

    "Well maybe, it was also possible that you will be the one who love me." Casuallyughed, Chen An withdraw his hand and lightly ask "Start from now?"

    "Start from now, my dear."

    "Then you can drive me home" as he looked down at the time. He guessed that the person he wanted to see after Ivanov wouldn''t appear.

    ¡­..

    The neon color turned into one blurry color block as the airne quickly passed through the colorful night view from the window just like a moving kaleidoscope and made people feel dazzled.

    Chen An supported hand into his knees as he quietly looked at the outside scenery from the window when suddenly heard a deliberate coughing sound from the man beside him. One could see Chen An''s reflection as it got a slight smile as he looked at the passing ne.

    Once the game began, Ivanov would inevitably substitute himself in the identity as a pursuer, but the problem was, this bear has never really seriously wanting to catch someone as he didn''tcks women and men.

    "It''s troublesome to travel without a car. Do you want to go together to the car dealer tomorrow?" Ivanov started his offensive move, an old fashioned one but a good try.

    "I can''t drive." Chen An still continued to stare at the window, only reflecting a fascinating silhouette to Ivanov who was sitting beside him. If it wasn''t because he was concerned about the game rules then from the early up he would have been rushing and do what he liked. Now he was only needed this kind of patience, don''t have the fun.

    "It is very dangerous to drive on your own, this car had its driver and it will be yours in the future." Seeing this kind of Ivanov reminded him of a Russian oligarch who didn''tck any money. What did sending car means as it didn''t even matter to him even if he sent him a driver.

    "I myself have also started a small business during this half year, I do have some savings, so ¡­" Chen Anzily looked at Ivanov as he replied, "I do have my own driver and car."

    "Ivanov, these words isn''t enough to catch me." He sp his hands into his chest. He was slightly disappointed as he looked at this bear, he looked at him as he showed his sharp teeth, Chen An''s smile curved deeper.

    Gazing as the man''s eyes beside him starting to became intimidating, Ivanov grinned and said: "I also didn''t expect to be able to get you in my first day, An."

    In three months time, a small game, currently Ivanov still has the patience.

    "Are you free tomorrow?" Ivanov asked before Chen An get out of the car, "Let''s have lunch together, I want to bring you to my house for a sightseeing, how is that?"

    "Will you still be the same as thest time?" Chen An turned to ask.

    "Don''t think of me that cruel, I am a gentleman An." This kind of wordsing from his mouth was simply a joke.

    "Then this gentleman cane and pick me at 10 o''clock tomorrow." Chen An got down after he said this.

    Ivanov unexpectedly felt really happy as he heard the other side affirmative reply. Maybe this little game was really interesting.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C

    Chen Yang would be so mad if he knew it when he got back then finally fall into the Diablo route.<hr>

    A big white eye means: to look on others with disdain.

 Chapter 60

    Chapter 60

    Chen An is a very punctual man, when he said 10 o''clock then it was exactly toe at 10:00 and not showing up at 10:01.

    "You are very punctual, Ivanov." Looked at the man in front of him opened the door for him just like a gentlemen, Chen An also unreasonably gave the other party a simplepliment.

    "I am always a punctual and trustworthy man, as long as you start toe and understand me better then you wille to not be able to leave me, other men in this world might have more power and influence but not as younger and more handsome than me while the other might be younger and more handsome but not have much power and influence." Ivanov kept on showing off himself, who was one who gave this bear the capital?!

    However Ivanov simply didn''t tell Chen An that today was his first time in the history as he was already woke up around six o''clock in the morning. Just the thought of meeting Chen An at ten o''clock has made it difficult for him to sleep quietly as this kind of situation was actually unprecedented.

    As the result it wasn''t even seven o''clock when he was done taking a bath. Then spent one hour to choose the clothing he wanted to wear today, and take approximately half an hour to choose which bottle of cologne to spray on, then used another half an hour tomand the servant to prepare something that he needed to useter on.

    Clearly said to pick up Chen An at ten o''clock but he even parked the car half an hour earlier not far from Chen An''s home then looked at right time the before drove the car over.

    This small game has just started, this wasn''t something controlled by Ivanov, but as it became more difficult to control then it became more novel and exciting.

    Apanied by the two iron doors which slowly opening, Ivanov drove back to his luxurious home in Shanghai, he quietly gazed toward Chen An, the man sat on the driver seat saw that he was still so calm even when facing this kind of luxurious home that usually only appeared in a movie. Those pair of eyes was very calm, not even surprised or have a strange look.

    Even though he has expected that Chen An was different from any other men, but witnessing that this man didn''t seem to disguise his calmness, Ivanov still couldn''t help but to appreciate and respect Chen An.

    "Do you not afraid that I will imprison you here?" The car stopped at the vi door, Ivanov like a gentleman personally opened the door for Chen An as he threw the car key into the servant next to him.

    When Ivanov referred the word "captivity", the man''s eyes quickly shed a trace of surprised which was undetectable.

    Chen An randomly nced Ivanov''s luxurious home as he went down from the car and said: "Then let me take a look first at this beautiful bird cage."

    What kind of luxurious house that he has never saw or lived in but he didn''t really n to look around. After he followed Ivanov and strolled around his house, it was almost lunch time.

    Under Ivanov''s big capital, the house had the beautiful and suitable dining table was arranged for them next to the artificialke for enjoying the scenery, there were always servants serving beside them, could be said that five-star hotel was <em>pale byparison</em>.

    Calmly epting Ivanov''s courtesy, Chen An then cut the beef bit by bit, stuffed it into his mouth, and slowly chewed it as declining could made him drink the red wine instead of the soda water. However the simple dining movement was nowhere to reveal the simplicity of elegance.

    This kind of elegance wasn''t different from one who was deliberately pretending to be, the calmness in his eyes was a natural one. One always loved beautiful things, the etiquette was good and the refined manner was also likeable.

    "I can take the liberty to ask right? What kind of work do you have?" Chen An initiatively opened the conversation, "All this wealth you have isn''t something thatmon people have, maybe you are part of the giant and influential family?"

    "A giant family? No No and No, actually in the past my grandfather was only an ordinary soldier from Soviet Union." Those blue eyes are bright as it reflected the vividness of sunlight under theke, very eye catching and said, "Why don''t you take a guess?"

    "Petroleum gas." He put down the knife and fork as he held his chin using both hands.

    Ivanov was pouting, "Well this answer is too simple, you can try to dive in further." Who would know that the wealthy Russians would basically involve in oil and gas.

    "Then it means there will be a reward if I guess it right?" The old fox''s eyes slightly raised, he knew for sure what his main business was.

    The bar jumped into the trap without warning and said: "I can try to answer one of your wish but as long as I can do it."

    Chen An surely liked this arrogant bear, too arrogant but easy to loss, he grabbed the ss and drink a mouthful of soda water, slightly smile and said: "weapon".

    Chapter 61

    Although Ivanov didn''t directly answer whether Chen An''s answer was correct or not but his eyes obviously shed a hit of surprise: "Why do you feel I am rted to weapon?

    After all for ordinary people, the gap between them and weapon were to inessible. Chen An''s answer was undoubtedly right, but at the same time it also made Ivanov feel curious, how could he guessed it right, and not like "<em>blind cat encounters a dead mouse</em>."<ul><li>Meaning: it is a fluke</li></ul>

    "Extend your right hand." Chen An made a pinky promise.

    Ivanov slightly blinked,ughing at Chen An''s act as he grabbed his right hand. Chen An gripped Ivanov''s palm, he pointed at Ivanov''s index finger, tiger''s mouth, and the position of the palm. <strong>(</strong><strong>??</strong><strong>?)</strong>

    When Chen An''s soft fingers swept Ivanov''s hand on those positions, obviously felt "<em>a thinyer of scorpion</em>", if one not particrly saw it carefully then it would be hard to be noticed.<ul><li>Meaning: hardened skin or dry patches on his hand, it may be known as calluses.</li></ul>

    "Yesterday at the bar when you gripped my hand, at that time I somehow felt that your palm has a thinyer of calluses. I have watched from someone in the TV saying that some veterans will use their index finger as they trigger the board machine and some calluses on the tiger''s mouth and palm too as they often held the gun, which just coincide with you.

    Chen An raised his head to look into Ivanov''s eyes, then lowered his head as he gaze toward the man''s palm and continued to say: "Not to mention ordinary people, other than those veterans of the war times, ordinary soldiers also wouldn''t necessarily have the opportunity to y with gun every day. The only exnation on what you are doing is the business of weapons smuggling.

    After careful observation in detailed manner, reasonable reasoning ability, Ivanov had to admit that he got a new impression of Chen An.

    "You don''t talk means an acquiescence, I am actually right isn''t it?" He faintlyughed as he let go of Ivanov''s hand, grabbed the ss of water and drank a mouthful of water as he moisture his throat.

    "You are really too smart to make me look good, if it wasn''t because I have checked your detailed background before, I will thought that you are a spy sent by the Central." Leaning back on the back of the chair, Ivanov''s index finger gently tapping on the table, "Wouldn''t you felt scared as you know I was trafficking weapons?" People normally said that they didn''t wish to have something to do with me as I was such a dangerous man.

    "Do I have a choice?" Of course Chen An didn''t wish to has something to do with Ivanov, he clearly knew that this hairy bear was one who deliberatelying over to him.

    "Well ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª- I really be more and more admiring you, An. Just say it, what do you want me to do?"

    If it was about to let him leave then Ivanov wouldn''t answer it, he would only answer if he is willing to agree on it. It could also be said that his behavior like this is to probe more, so what, he was Ivanov.

    Chen An''s body was leaning forward, both hands lied on the table and said: "What is the real weapons dealer looks like? I''m so curious."

    That beautiful pair of phoenix eyes was finally no longer calm as water, but there was a hint of curiosity, seeing hope on his pair of eyes, how could he refused?

    Just like Chen An knew that Ivanov would never reject him, after they finished the lunch, this hairy bear generously led him to the basement of the mansion.

    After he did the fingerprint unlock, Ivanov used his strength to push away the big iron gate looked like a bank vault door in front of them which blocked the way in. Illuminated by the light, an arsenal which looked like one in the Hollywood movie appeared in front of Chen An.

    "Are all of these real?" Chen An talked over himself to at least pretend a bit, at least look like one who saw this kind of arsenal for the first time, he curiously looked at the basement which was not big but had a lot of good things, "I felt like in the 007 movie."

    "I can teach you how to shoot." Ivanov was unconsciously moved close right behind Chen An, restlessly reached out and gently embraced the man¡¯s waist, smirked and said, "Using the real gun."

    "What kind of gun can it be if it isn''t the real gun?" Ignoring Ivanov''s low level joke, Chen An bluntly moved away the bear ws around his waist.

 Chapter 62

    America, New York

    ¡°Monkey, what happened to Ivanov recently?¡± An extraordinary brte youth strode from a crowd of blondes into the office while holding two cups of coffee in his hand.

    ¡°There is news from China, this Russian oligarch seems veryw abiding in China¡¯s territory. There isn¡¯t even a contact with a high ranked official and nothing illegal. These days he even continuously conducts legal andpliant investment activities.¡±

    A skinny young man wearing sses epted the hot coffee handed by Ding Sheng. Said thanks then continued again and said: ¡°However, there were some discoveries that were really special, well ¡­ but can also consider it not too special.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t miss any news, just talk about what is special.¡± Ding Sheng pulled a chair and sat down, he drank a sip of coffee and looked at the gloomy scene outside the window, unconsciously it was already autumn.

    ¡°Ivanov and Lu Feng seemed to sh. The rumor said that these two started to fall into a hostile rtionship. Then recently Ivanov also often appears with a Chinese man. But we have checked him and that one¡¯s identity is clean without any stains, perhaps they are working partner but they seem to have a more intimate rtionship.¡±

    The young man who was called monkey took a deep breath and sighed: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will told them to continue to observe them. ording to the most recent news from Middle East, there are some weapons that shouldn¡¯t appear but appear from Assad¡¯s party, for example tank, etc.¡±

    ¡°Tank?¡± Ding Sheng¡¯s attention was quickly attracted to the past, didn¡¯t pay too much attention to what his colleague said about the name of the Chinese man who was together with Ivanov.

    ¡°This is the picture from the front.¡± The monkey opened theputer to let Ding Sheng on the picture of the tank they sneak shot. He pointed to theputer screen and said: ¡°Look simr huh? This type of tank was obviously smuggled out of Ukraine, there are only a handful of weapons dealers who can provide this source of supply, but after we investigated it we get an unexpected result.¡±

    ¡°In recent analysis of these various types, this batch of tanks sent out to Middle East wasn¡¯t supplied by those Russian¡¯s yet it wasn¡¯t also those Ukrainian¡¯s. In fact we received the news that the one who transported this batch of weapons to Syria is an Asian.¡±

    The monkey¡¯s word made Ding Sheng slightly frowned: ¡°Asian? The only Asian who could go to Ukraine and Middle East is only Lu Feng but Lu Feng has just shed with Ivanov so Ivanov absolutely wouldn¡¯t let Lu Feng enter his territory without knowing it.

    ¡°Could it be another Asian, like the Japanese?¡± The monkey guessed.

    Ding Sheng immediately denied monkey¡¯s guess: ¡°As far as I know, the Japanese are rich, but Ukraine has never been on their side. They are unlikely to make a sudden contact with Ukrainian sources, moreover this will offend Ivanov¡¯s side and this was something that that group of cautious Japanese will do.

    ¡°Continue to investigate it.¡± Ding Sheng slightly tighten the coffee in his hand, ¡°No matter who, I want to send this group of war-trafficker to prison! (He referred it to politicians or leaders who are keen to provoke war to seek profit)

    Just after when Ding Sheng has said this rhetoric statement, a brisk song suddenly rang.

    ¡°Gourd doll Gourd doll Gourd doll, seven flowers on a vine, not afraid of wind and rain, ¡­¡±<ul><li>Can see the song here</li></ul>

    ¡°I will answer the phone!¡± Ding Sheng put down the coffee turned around and walked out the office.

    Went into staircase where there aren¡¯t any people, Ding Sheng pressed the answer button and the cheerful song stopped. But what followed was a voice that made Ding Sheng felt joy and surprise: ¡°Uncle An, are you free to call me now?¡±

    In the past six months, even though basically he wasn¡¯t walking around in Asia but he usually will sent mail to Chen An even if there was nothing really important. He also will asionally call him, just basically taken into the past. Chen An seemed to has never initiativelye over to meet him.

    Compared to mail, Ding Sheng liked to hear Chen An¡¯s voice more, he always felt Chen An¡¯s voice really sounds good and gentle like Chen An himself. It really made him feel at ease andfort.

    Chapter 63

    ¡°Uncle is not at home?¡±

    Actually he should have arrived in Shanghai tomorrow, but he shortened his resting time and returned home one day earlier. But then when he returned home at three early in the morning, he learned from Wang Li, the housekeeper that Chen An has left Shanghai three days ago.

    ¡°Yes. Uncle An tells me he has something to do and leaves for a while. He also tells me if you are back then you don¡¯t need to worry, have a good rest for a few days and prepare to go to school.¡±

    Wang Li yawned as she felt sleepy, but she still helped carrying Chen Yang luggage. She turned around as she took the luggage but then saw Chen Yang standing still not saying a word. She didn¡¯t know if it was an illusion but Chen Yang tired face suddenly showed a cold look which made her slightly surprised.

    You must know the feeling that Chen Yang usually radiating was actually simr to his name, sunny and innocent.

    ¡°Wang Li, do you know where did uncle go?¡± Chen Yang¡¯s voice didn¡¯t show any emotions, the tone is straight without any undtions. Even though the house was so bright but it didn¡¯t light up the young man¡¯s eyes.

    She didn¡¯t really thought about it and directly spoke what she knew: ¡°Uncle An didn¡¯t tell me this. However I saw somebodying to pick him up when Uncle An left that day. A blond foreigner, tall and handsome, feels like Eastern European¡¯s.¡±

    As soon as he heard Eastern European¡¯s, Chen Yang suddenly became nervous. He suddenly grabbed Wang Li¡¯s arm and frantically asked: ¡°What happened to my uncle?¡±

    ¡°Ai ya, Chen Yang, your hand, it hurts ¡­¡± scared by Chen Yang, Wang Li who was suffering in pain quickly said: ¡°Uncle An is okay, I saw that foreign man is not a bad person. As in the meantime you aren¡¯t here, I often saw hime for Uncle An ¡­ Uncle An, Uncle An also didn¡¯t say that he is a bad man.¡±

    ¡°Chen Yang, let my hand go first, I am hurting ah.¡± Wang Li¡¯s tears quickly came out. It wasn¡¯t because of drowsiness but was about her hand being hurt by him. She was surprised that Chen Yang who was usually bright as sunshine also had such a scary side.

    Chen Yang slowly released his hand on Wang Li, mumbling by himself: ¡°You are saying ¡­ my uncle willingly go with that person?¡±

    ¡°Uncle An wasughing and saying goodbye to me when he left, I thought Uncle An was going on a vacation. Chen Yang, if you are worried about him then you can just call him tomorrow.¡± Wang Li looked at her own wrist and sure enough there was a light purple circle because of Chen Yang¡¯s grip. Just now she was really sacred of Chen Yang crushing her hand.

    ¡°En, I know.¡± Chen Yang nodded and saw Wang Li¡¯s wrist became light purple, feeling sorry and said: ¡°I¡¯m sorry I was just too agitated just now, Wang Li, do you want me to drive you to the doctor?¡±

    ¡°No need, I will just go back and applied medicine and then it is fine.¡± She saw that Chen Yang¡¯s look has turned as the usual, Wang Li was slightly relieved. She didn¡¯t know why but she was a little bit scared when Chen Yang was angry just now.

    ¡°Then you can just go back and rest, I will take care the luggage on my own.¡±

    Wang Li voiced an agreement then went back while Chen Yang was standing by himself in the empty living room. Calmly returned his own luggage to his own room, took a bath. He was not lying to take a rest but went over to the room next door, which was Chen An¡¯s.

    Chen An¡¯s room wasn¡¯t locked to make Wang Li easy as she cleaned the room. Chen Yang entered the room with ease. The bedroom was very clean and simple, seemed difficult to find traces left by Chen An.

    ¡°Uncle ¡­.¡±

    Chen Yang¡¯s head fell into Chen An¡¯s bed, he grabbed the bedding and took a breath, although these beddings has been washed by Wang Li but it seemed that there was still a bit of that¡¯s person scent left.

    He missed him. He was thinking about him every day and every night when he was abroad, didn¡¯t care how difficult it was or how dangerous it was, as long as he thought about Chen An who was waiting him, Chen Yang could go all out without feeling exhausted.

    What he wanted wasn¡¯t much, only to saw Chen An¡¯s smile after he returned home, a hug, and a praise after he learned that the business was sessfully done.

    He gradually tightened his grab on the bedding. He didn¡¯t get anything. He couldn¡¯t even saw Chen An.

 Chapter 64

    ALREADY NOVEMBER (?? o ??) ~ SO FAST ~~

    Chapter 64

    This was his first trip to Yunnan again after Chen An''s past visit to Yunnan. The difference between the past and now was that he was strolling around as he went flower viewing while riding horse. Another one was that they didn''t stop and took a good rest.

    For most people, thenguage as well as the ce itself, Tengchong, was still quite unfamiliar, meaning there were less travelers which also mean low attention. Added by the fact it was located in Yunnan that was close to the Southeast Asian countries.

    He must admit that here was not only a good ce for a vacation but also a good ce for certain people to talk about business.

    Grand Banyan Spa Resort was covered by Ivanov''s luxurious Lily (ºÀ»ªÀöÀöµÄ°üÁËÏÂÀ´), this rich local tyrant. The guest in this forty three colors spa pool in the spa center was only him. asionally, you could see several waiters throughout the empty hotel.

    Naturally one didn''t need to say about the hotel''s quality under Banyan brand. Chen An dly enjoyed it. Bubble bath in the hot spring then got a full body rxing spa. Don''t need to mention howfortable this pleasant little day was.

    The span of the game between his and Ivanov''s has been six months or more. In this half of month they were eating together and even watching film together. At the same time, when Ivanov started his "chasing", Chen An has tasted the process of ordinary people "falling in love". He must admit that it''s really boring.

    In this half month time, Chen An often went to Ivanov''s mansion in Shanghai. Honestly he had visited lots of this bear fine weapons. asionally he would also have a cup of coffee beside Ivanov''s office while he was in the study, pretending to casually flip over Ivanov''s book on the shelf.

    He was waiting as it truly could let him found something useful, for example he learned that Ivanov came to China this time wasn''t just to find him.

    Maybe he has been eating, drinking, and having fun all the time with Ivanov. He has initiatively invite him on a vacation and even though it was a little dangerous but seeing the opportunity was in front of him, Chen An still agreed to Ivanov''s invitation. After all, the greater the risk the greater the benefit was.

    The room they were in was the most luxurious courtyard in the hotel. There was even an indoor pool in the room and massage spa pool and there was not only one bedroom.

    After he finished spa, the hotel''s spa master and waiters packed up their things and left. Chen An changed his clothes and stretch a bit then he drank the juice as he walked to the bedroom next to him which belonged to Ivanov.

    Even though Ivanov was really vignt to him but that hairy bear still not yet <em>to lose one''s head over lust</em>. After finished eating with him in the morning talked about something and left as he didn''t bring him to go together with him.

    Chen An''s hand grabbed the juice then leisurely like taking a stroll walked into Ivanov''s bedroom. Except for the bodyguard guarding in front of the door, there wouldn''t be anyone else except Chen An in the room.

    And without a doubt it was dangerous to live under the same roof with that bear who could be <em>in heat</em> anytime, but this was also Chen An''s only opportunity.

    Chen An put the ss of half of the juice on the bedside and opened the drawer of the bedside table. It was empty. He also looked at under the pillow, but there was still nothing.

    Chen An slightly frowned as he didn''t find anything useful when he flipped it around. He suddenly caught a sight on the trash can next to the bedroom desk. There seemed to be a few shredded papers that had been torn into pieces inside the clean trash.

    "If you can''t do weapons maybe going to be a policeman is also not bad." A corner of his mouth rise, Chen An picked up the shredded paper as he half squat down, ced it on the ground and slowly put it into aplete piece of paper. There was a name written by Ivanov on it: Yuri.

    It looked like it was Ukrainian name, Chen An then quickly scattered the piece of paper and threw it into the trash again, but just when he was ready to leave, suddenly he keenly aware of someone''s footstep who seemed toe in from outside.

    Who coulde in this room silently except for that bear? Chen An quickly ran to the side and drank the rest of the juice, turned around and walked into the bathroom of the bedroom.

    T.N: I don''t know what (ºÀ»ªÀöÀöµÄ°üÁËÏÂÀ´) means so I tranted it as ''covered by Ivanov''s luxurious Lily''. I have searched it but what came up is a room? So maybe it was a big and luxurious room called Lily? Hmm I also didn''t expect Chen An used the old trick as before! (?? o ??)

 Chapter 65

    Chapter 65

    After he didn''t meet the fox who likes to squat for a while, Ivanov''s heart was very itchy. After he finished with some things he immediately ran back to the room and thought of scaring Chen An. But the result was he found out that the man wasn''t in his own room.

    Ivanov didn''t think that Chen An will be in his bedroom, he wandered around the room again and again but there wasn''t that man''s shadow either in the pool or the study room. However he remembered from his subordinate that Chen An didn''t leave the room after he finished his spa.

    Was he in his bedroom?

    Ivanov''s instinctively has a trace of suspicion. He lightly pushed his own bedroom door, but empty as he still couldn''t find Chen An''s figure. It was only after he walked in then suddenly heard a faint sound of watering from the bathroom.

    The bathroom door was half opened, bypassing the big bed and turning a corner, you can go straight in. Thus Ivanov saw a certain someone leisurely and carefree sitting in the hot spring Jacuzzi as soon as he walked in. He drank juice as he enjoyed the beautiful pastoral scenery outside the window.

    Even though this suite has two bedrooms, but only Ivanov''s master bedroom had the hot tub with a window where one can admire the view of the countryside and mountain.

    <span>The hot tub may look like this >.<

    "You don''t mind I use your bathroom for a while right?" Lazily in the hot tub, Chen An calmly looked at Ivanov with a smile. The bear is leaning against the door and enfold his hands in the chest and looked at him with fascinated eyes.

    "This hot tub is really not bad, can enjoy the rare beautiful scenery while enjoying the natural hot spring." Ivanov took a deep breath as he closed his eyes while naturally sitting on the edge of the hot tub.

    "Oh, I am also a little tired and taking a bath to rx also sounds good." Grinned towards Chen An, Ivanov took off his haute couture customize suit into the ground as if he was throwing garbage.

    Under the guidance of a fitness instructor, Ivanov''s body was full of extraordinary beautiful muscle. His wheat-colored skin was like ayer of light-colored honey, his whole body looked sturdy but eye catching.

    "Then I will not disturb you." After he said it Chen An was about to go while Ivanov, who hadn''t had time to take off his pants, directly jumped into the hot tub, clearly was a bear but this once he look like a monkey.

    The sudden ssh of water made Chen An instinctively closed his eyes and turned his head. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ivanov jumped into the bath and reached out to hold Chen An tightly: "My Dear, let''s take a bath together."

    God knew that since he yed this damn love game with Chen An, he basically want to be tired with this man as he opened his eyes, where was the time to do that thing, even if there was, his mind was full of this stinky man. He hasn''t has so much interest in other people before.

    Hold back! Must hold back to kill him! (*>ÆH<)

    Ivanov''s brain started to be filled with countless pink flowers so much that he forgot to consider how could Chen An who has just finished his spa would possibly take another bath again?

    At this moment, in his mind he confidently only thought about this one idea: Chen An didn''t wear any clothes. This was a good opportunity to <em>eat</em> him.

    "Do you know that what this behavior of yours is called?<strong> STUPID</strong>." He won''t let him go even if he was scorned by him. It seemed that he was a very popr man toe and go on Ivanov. Chen An then urately mmed his knee and directly hit Ivanov¡¯s lower abdomen.

    Considering Ivanov''s thing while holding his lower abdomen, Chen An gave a free hand knife, as Ivanov who was dizzy and in pain almost fell into the bath.

    "Chen An! Don''t be too much!" Then the bear with agonizing ck eyes bitterly climbed up from the bath. Grimace in pain, he can''t wait to shoot the man who dared to beat him. But just as he got up and saw a certain man naked back, he just couldn¡¯t help but drooling.

    "I don''t like man with too much hair." Then he took the bathrobe and put it on, tied the belt two or three times, raised his hand and waved at Ivanov then left Ivanov''s bedroom barefoot.

    "But I do shave regrly!" Ivanov shouted at the back of Chen An''s as he walked away, feel dejected he sat back in the bath, looked down at the back of his hand and muttered, "Then it''s time to clean it up."

    Hi ^.^ it¡¯s been a long time but hope you enjoy reading it (¤Å£þ 3£þ)¤Å

    Chapter 66 The seed of Doubt

    To outsider this might just be a private gathering for the rich. However in fact, this was only a gathering. It could be said that even if the international police knew what Ivanov and the others were all talking about illegal business, the international police also could do nothing as they were only talking and wouldn''t really trade on the spot.

    "I don''t want to go." Hands sped to his chest, Chen An looked at Ivanov who wasying his clothes on the bed and chose to refuse. "It was enough to know that you are a weapons dealer, I don''t want to know more about you and anything rted to you."

    "Why? Wasn''t this is a good opportunity to understand each other more?" Ivanov shrugged and looked a little indifferent.

    He wore a dark suit and the tailored clothes on him made this hairy bear looked really tall and straight. No matter where he was, there was an extremely dazzling presence.

    "The more you know, the more you are exposed to more private things. I don¡¯t think that after two months you will let someone who knows too much about your secret go.¡± Chen An sat down on the bed, under the serious appearance and a humble heart, if he did not want to participate in Ivanov¡¯s party, why would he agree to Ivanov¡¯s vacation invitation.

    Slightly refused the other could let him maintain his own dignity, but could also reduce the other''s alertness, why not?

    "I know that you have opened a transportationpany with the money you received as you won the prize. An, don''t you want to work together with me? You can get a high profit from the business, my dear, don''t look at me with that vignt look, I am doing a legal one, I swear!"

    Ivanov raised his hand high, this kind of serious look, if not because Chen An had known him before, he reckon that he might be deceived by this bear. Ivanov did a legal business? It was simply a joke.

    But the current Chen An still have to pretend to be a bit hesitant, doing a y was enough, but there was no room for it.

    Under Ivanov assurance for the third time, Chen An reluctantly answered that bear invitation. After Ivanov''s door was changed his clothes and opened the door, Chen''s cell phone suddenly rang.

    "Who was it?" Ivanov casually asked as he leaned on the door.

    "My nephew." Chen An looked at his phone and took the call under Ivanov''s attention, "Chen Yang, have youe home?"

    "En, right now I am outside, will be back in about two days. You just need to study well. Right now I am still have things to do so I will hang up first." Chen An hung up the phone then saw Ivanov staring at him with a bad intention. He raised his eyebrow and asked, "Is there a problem?"

    ¡°Your nephew seems to be too dependent on you.¡± Ivanov narrowed his eyes. The words that were slowly said revealed other meaning.

    <em>''Those involved in the matter are easily blinded to the truth while those not involved can see things clearly''</em>, as a bystander, Ivanov''s could see more clearly than Chen An. Even though Ivanov didn''t really have too much contact with Chen Yang, but that day half a year ago, Ivanov still remembered that young man being pinned to the floor stared at him and Chen An with the same look as a cub.

    The cub will be a beast that can eat people sooner orter.

    "Put away that dirty mind of yours, he is my loved one." Obviously Chen An understand what Ivanov wanted to say. He gave a hard shot to Ivanov''s chest. He didn''t really put Ivanov''s words in his heart but he was shocked by Ivanov''s words.

    Chen An is undoubtedly a smart man but sometimes couldn''t clearly see the people around him.

    His brother, Zhang Le''splicated feelings toward him was only seen as brother love, as for Lu Feng twisted love toward him was mistaken as a kind of admiration, how about Chen Yang?

    Chen An couldn''t help but slightly frowned, the same thing wouldn''t happen to him again right? The seed of doubt got into his heart because of Ivanov''s words.

    Chapter 67

    When Chen An was here, his sight and mind was full of that man.

    Now that he wasn''t here, Chen Yang could calmly sit for a while and ponder on some things that he has never paid attention to before.

    He sat alone on the floor in Chen An''s room while on the side was a red wine bottle that was half drank by him. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath as he carefully thought on something. Someone who failed tomit suicide and had amnesia couldn''t possibly change into a brand new person all of a sudden.

    Not to mention, in the past, his uncle wasn''t proficient in speaking foreignnguage. There was even a thick ent when he spoke Chinese. But how could he be so knowledgeable, especially about weapons right after he woke up in the hospital? Moreover about how he was so familiar with the sellers and buyers that were usually unknown to the outsiders and as for his understanding on the models of weapons and ammunition and the way he used it, was simr to a veteran.

    But he didn''t care who Chen An was, Chen Yang only knew that Chen An was his uncle, was his.

    The grabbing the wine bottle as he slowly walked toward the study room where Chen An usually was. Maybe because he trusted him so much, Chen An never locked the study room.

    Then he sat in front of theputer and pressed the start. Chen An knew Wang Li was aputer expert, not to mention that he and Wang Li went to the same school, if Wang Li could be investigated, he could also be investigated even more.

    There were always some clues that will allow him to find some secrets that Chen An did not say.

    ¡­..

    ¡­..

    Sitting alone near the pool while ying with the wine ss in his hands, not far away Chen An asionally gazed at some people who were gathering together and drinking vodka.

    In a group of rich and bald middle-aged man, Ivanov who was in a prime time andparable to CK male model was undoubtedly looked very distinct. It made Chen An suddenly discover that the doll who originally ate candy behind him already grew up and turned into a <em>handsome moving hormone diffuser</em>.

    The world was changing really fast, Chen An slowly poured the red wine in the cup into the pool. The bright red liquid is immersed in the clear pool of water. The pool was like contaminated with blood as it slowly spread made it more visible more apparent as it consumed the pool water until it lost thest color.

    Looking at the pool water reflecting the moonlight, Chen An seemed to see Zhang Le''s smiling face in a sh, the younger brother who never gave up and followed him like a shadow.

    He clearly has been so tired to live in the past life, clearly has shot himself, but now he still lived again.

    "My dear An, why sitting here alone and revealing this kind of sad and lonely expression?" Ivanov does not know when he came to the man but with a burst ofughter, he just gently hold the man from behind ignoring other people at the party.

    "Just remember some things from the past."

    Chen An didn''t push Ivanov away and instead he leaned back in the arms of the bear. This move suddenly made Ivanov somewhat ttered knowing that every time he tried to embrace this man, he would be pushed away heartlessly.

    Ivanov also didn¡¯t know why he insisted on ying this game with Chen An. Obviously he could get a kiss or touch this man like in the first time, but his carnivore intuition instinctively told him to curb himself from doing that as if it was a dangerous thing to do.

    Well okay,ter on it will be worth paying for right?

    There was a weird feeling on Ivanov as Chen An leaned on his as he felt there was a gun looked like fire continuously jumping around. There was aplicated look as he looked at the man who was resting in his arms and closed his eyes.

    There was no one who could stay by his side for more than three months. But now even it has past for half a year he still couldn''t forget this man who only met him several times before.

    He never felt satisfied with one¡¯s heart because of the closeness of one could be but now he felt his chest was full as the other party has initiatively relied on him.

    "What kind of magic do you impose to me An?" The ss of red wine has been thrown aside earlier and Ivanov tightly hug the man''s back. He buried his cheek in the back of the other¡¯s neck.

    "Then ~~~ you have to be careful Ivanov.¡± Chen An slowly opened his eyes and patted Ivanov around his back, his mouth slightly raised as he said: ¡°You will be finished if you fall in love with me.¡±

    T.N: Honestly I also don''t understand my own trantion of <em>handsome moving hormone diffuser</em> but somehow I imagine Ivanov as an attractive handsome young man who will attract anyone as he goes? Please let me know what you guys think or maybe help me found the right word? >.<

    Chapter 68

    Ivanov himself has lots of fortune, but it seemed that to please his new lover, he didn''t mind and let Chen An purchased some of his insignificant orders.

    These small profits were actually counted as nothing for Chen An, but it was to let him know the target of Ivanov''s transport lines of goods. Those in his list of clients came from Southeast Asia, this was the best info he gained as he went with Ivanov.

    Especially for the name he found on the scraps in Ivanov''s study room, Yuri, which if he has to say, it was actually the biggest surprise for him.

    Ordinary people didn¡¯t know what it was like to see the name Yuri, but Ivanov has been hispetitor for so many years so how could Chen An not know it?

    Ivanov''s ability to rise in the weapons circle wasn''t only due to the family''s emergence in World War II and the turned over from the Soviet Union''s disintegration, but also their important rtionship in the military. As for mutual security there was often a middleman when the two sides traded. They will reselect the middleman every time they did trade.

    It''s a coincidence that when observer from Ivanov''s side came to Chen An at that time, there was actually someone called Yuri as the trader who had a short-lived contact with Ivanov. He reckoned that he would not know that this Yuri is the middleman in Ivanov¡¯s transaction this time if he didn''t read that list.

    However, regardless of what was he nned to buy from Yuri. In short, he has decided to cut off these goods.

    After staying in Teng Chong, Yunnan for two days, Ivanov and his party went directly to Singapore by ne. As currently he was acting as Ivanov''s, it was easier to be seen by others as one of Ivanov''s ythings. No matter what other people think about him, he just needed to let Yuri knew that his weight in Ivanov¡¯s heart was not ordinary.

    Was this a honey trap?

    For the old fox, no matter whether it was a honey trap or a desire, it was enough if he was able to achieve his purpose.

    Ivanov''s night will always be apanied by someone, one after another that will never end. On the first night of their arrival in Singapore, Ivanov has activities, but it wasn''t really the same as usual.

    ¡°If you are tired then we will not go, I will stay with you.¡± Ivanov actually made a consideration for Chen An.

    Perhaps it was the rare loneliness and fragility that appeared in the hot spring resort that day, which immediately ignited Ivanov''s desire to protect as a man. The man who was already a gentleman to Chen An quickly became exceptionally gentler.

    Ivanov this crude bear was unexpectedly could be so gentle. Chen An knew from the asionally stunned bodyguards of Ivanov that the gentle estimate of this bear was rarely shown in front of others.

    ¡°How can I just stay in the room all day in Singapore? If I want to take a break, then I will take a good rest at night, actually you just don¡¯t want me to go out, it would be unlikely that you are scared of me spending money ande to find you right?¡±

    After Chen An''s words came out, how could Ivanov continued to made him stayed in the room? Money? Ivanov most notcking was money. He immediately said a sentence to Chen An: Whatever you want to gamble on you can just gamble, how you want to y then you can just y, if you win it will be yours and if you lose I will pay for it.

    ording to Ivanov''s words, Chen''s would only need to win, but he did not expect that the VIP in the hotel casino''s VIP box, except for the nothing ordinary trader called Yuri and the other man that he was very unwilling to meet.

    Lu Feng, these two words were enough to make the ck and white people listen.

    Too many adjectives and depiction on others have already said too much. For Chen An, Lu Feng''s people were the same as his name, as sharp as a knife, they were the most powerful weapon against the enemies, but they were also sharp which can hurt oneself.

    When the man was wearing a windbreaker in his shoulder, the stern and cold expression, walked into the VIP room of the casino, Chen An could feel that Lu Feng''s eyes ruthlessly swept on everyone. Then when Lu Feng''s eyes swept pass him, Chen An slightly lowered his eyes and avoided the direct contact with the other side.

    Chapter 69

    It was very unlikely for ordinary people who came to the casino met someone wealthy with social status like Ivanov. There were guards who carry loaded rifles ready for an emergency outside the luxurious VIPs room. Even though you have lots of money, there was no way to step into this circle of VIPs and sat together with Lu Feng and others in the hall.

    They were gambling, which was also the alternative to have a confrontation.

    To be expected as the person brought by Ivanov, Chen An sat beside Ivanov. He raised his eyes and looked at the people in the gambling table. Lu Feng sat directly in front of Ivanov and from the cold and stern expression, it looked like the two have indeed switched from partner into a hostile mode, even the gunpowder smell was so strong.

    This gamble still hasn''t started yet but Chen An started to sniff out toward the two people who wanted to put each other dead.

    But except from Ivanov and Lu Feng, there were several local well-known rich and powerful Singaporeans. Although it''s right to be powerful, but without a doubt the protagonist of this gambling were Ivanov and Chen An.

    It''s just that Chen An didn''t think that the first word that Lu Feng said as he sat down was to him.

    "I remember you." A pair of sharp eagle''s eyes fell on Chen An''s body, Lu Feng line a sharp sight as if he want to see through Chen An, but somewhat blinded by a dense fog.

    From the time he stepped into the hall, Lu Feng has paid attention on this man at Ivanov''s side, once to befuddle and kissed by Ivanov half a year ago.

    In terms of Ivanov''s character that must get what he wanted, it was not unusual to see this man with Ivanov. The strange thing was that no one could stay with Ivanov for three months. Clearly thest time he saw this man was six months ago.

    He wonder why Ivanov will keep this man for so long, was it simply because he was attracted by the familiar atmosphere of the other person? Lu Feng did not know that he had only paid attention to Chen An at the first sight.

    Chen An just smiled and nodded to the other side with a smile in response, he did not speak.

    ¡°I thought that our Lu is always a longsting man. Howe that you have been feeling lonely even when the old fox has been gone for not even a year?¡± Ivanov began to be aggressive. He dared to hook up his man in front of him, he felt Lu Feng be more unpleasing to the eye.

    ¡°Dear, you should never talk to this man. I quietly tell you that this man called Lu Feng is a poisonous snake. If he stared at you then you will definitely be bitten to death.¡±

    Ivanov deliberately smiled and said it to Chen An, on the surface was to give advice to Chen An, but in fact it was to Lu Feng.

    Even with Ivanov¡¯s provocation, Lu Feng just quietly snort not caring such trifle thing, and raised his finger to add 5 million chips as an <strong><em>ante to the pot</em></strong>: ¡°What kind of person Ivanov is, you should have known it when he forced you to drink six months ago.¡±

    Ivanov, who was exposed, hardly care about it. He smiled and kept up with five million: ¡°I don¡¯t know when you started to p someone''s face? This is big news.¡±

    ¡°If one day he is tired of you and killed you, I will collect the corpse for you.¡± Without answering Ivanov¡¯s words, Lu Feng¡¯s eyes were deep, and the downcast words was about to scare people.

    Unexpectedly, his cold sight meet Lu Feng''s who looked at him, his chest suddenly felt a little bit painful at the moment. Chen An immediately pushed the five million chips in front of the pot, and on the surface he remained calm and collected: ¡°Then I may trouble Mr. Lu to take my ash and scatter it into the Yangtze River.¡±

    ¡°Oh, dear, don¡¯t listen to his nonsense, how can I hurt you if I love you so much! This guy just can¡¯t see anyone else being in love with one another.¡±

    Ivanov''s deliberately blurted out these words loudly, at the same time he looked at the cards and looked at Chen An who was facing the side in Lu Feng''s sight, and his pupils shrank slightly, his lightly tapped his fingers on the table. There was aplicated smile in the corner of his mouth.

 Chapter 70: Kick Your Ass

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Though they had quarrels with each other, when it came to card ying, they still yed.

    After a round of deal, the points of cards in Chen An''s hand was the smallest. Chen An lowered his eyes and took a look at his own ace of base. He did not care what conflict Ivanov had with Lu Feng at this moment. The only thing he knew was that if he won, the gains would belong to him, but if he lost, the losses would be borne by Ivanov.

    Was he going to lose? The only one he would lose to was himself, and he would definitely win if he wanted to.

    "Ten million" His raise and the leisured act made some people at the same table feel uneasy all of a sudden.

    "This is just the beginning of this game, and you are making it a big one. But if you lose, Ivanov will give a piece of his mind to you." During this whole time, Lu Feng had never had a look at his own ace of base. Subtly raising the corners of his lips, Lu Feng casually pushed the chips in front of him into the pot, "call, ten million."

    It seemed like they were not ying with the real money, but just some virtual currency.

    Chen An frowned slightly, he did not know this man Lu Feng also knew how to gamble and he could be so generous when gambling. This all of a sudden made him feel a little ufortable. Did Lu Feng used to go to the casino behind his back?

    "Come on, Lu Feng, stop speaking ill of me in front of my dear. Can I be such a stingy man?" Ivanov also raised ten million, but it seemed to be a mere counterattack to Lu Feng. He said affectionately to Chen An, who was sitting beside him, "Dear, don''t listen to what he said, he is just being jealous of me."

    "What is he jealous of you for, that you just dare to y tricks under that table?" Chen An gently shot a few words of ridicule at Ivanov. After this round of deal was finished, the cards with the best points were the ones in the hand of Lu Feng.

    Lu Feng gave Ivanov a cold look. "Ivanov, your cards do not look very good, the goddess of fortune is not always by your side, and sometimes she will also choose the better one and abandon the worse one. Twenty million."

    Lu Feng suddenly doubled the raise. Seeing the atmosphere was not right, several yers at the same table chose to fold and watch the situation. Although some losses were inevitable now, it seemed the losses would get bigger if they continued to y.

    "Call" Chen An was not soft-hearted when he spent another people''s money. He called and made it seem like a casual move.

    In this way, the game went on for two rounds. There were only three people, Ivanov, Chen An and Lu Feng left ying at the table. At this time, Ivanov smiled azy smile and chose to fold, leaving Lu Feng and Chen An ying directly against each other.

    "There is more than one hundred million in the pot now. Dear, if you win, they are all yours." Ivanov moved toward Chen An and held this man''s waist in an intimate way. Those words with hot breath, like the warm ambiguous wind, were blown into Chen''s ears, making him feel a little itchy.

    "If I win, the money will be mine, if I lose..." Chen An turned his head away with a nk expression on his face, and he stretched out a finger to push slowly the big furry bear away until the distance between them was restored to a safe level.

    Those half-finished words were the most tantalizing. Ivanov narrowed his eyes in a dangerous way and said in a low voice, "If you lose¡­?"

    "If I lose, as thepensation, you can ask me to do whatever you want me to do." Chen An slightly hooked Ivanov''s jaw. Obviously, those words were said so casually, but they delivered endless temptation with the charm of a pair of enchanting eyes of that man.

    "I get to let you do whatever I want you to do or I get to do whatever I want to do to you?" Ivanov gave a low smile, licking his lips gently with the tip of his scarlet tongue. His eyes were staring closely at that unppable man like a carnivorous beast.

    He had long wanted to press this man named Chen An under his body. He missed his first kiss with Chen An, a kiss tainted with alcohol, he missed the warmth given by the palm of that man''s slightly callous hand when Chen An touched his chest, and he missed even more Chen An''s blurred and flirtatious eyes when he got drunk.

    He wanted to pour vodka all over Chen An''s body and lick bit by bit the alcohol on this man''s body with the tip his tongue. He would like to personally watch this man, who made his toes curl, fall so madly in love with him that he would let him have control over him.

    He wanted to take possession of this man called Chen An in some ways that were not barbaric. If Chen An could take the initiative, it would be better.

    "Either of them" Chen An answered Ivanov''s flirty question with a faint of calmness, but his sight had never left Lu Feng, the man who was sitting diagonally across him.

    Based on the cards holding in their hands, it was obvious that the points of Lu Feng''s cards were better, but no one knew who would be the final winner before they turned over the ace of base.

    "Money is just not enough for this game. How about adding something extra?"

    Lu Feng quietly watched Chen An and Ivanov, who were bargaining with each other, and aplicated disappointment shed in his eyes. He could not tell what it was. But when he saw Ivanov approaching the man named Chen An, Lu Feng had the same intense displeasing feeling as what he felt six months ago when he saw Ivanov molesting Chen An.

    Chen An asked: "What does Mr. Lu want to y?"

    Lu Feng did not like the feeling that caused his strong emotional fluctuations, not at all.

    "If I win, I will kill you before Ivanovys his hands on you. If you win, I will leave you alone today." Lu Feng said calmly as if he was talking about the weather. It suddenly made the atmosphere tense and stagnated.

    Ivanov grinned, nobody could tell whether Lu Feng was talking about a joke or a serious thing. "Who just said that I will kill Chen An, but now who is saying that he is going to kill Chen An? My god, Lu Feng, you are not having a crush on me, right? I am sorry, even if Chen An is dead, I will not have any interest in you."

    Lu Fengpletely ignored Ivanov''s tease, and he was gazing quietly at Chen An with his fanatic but cold eyes.

    There was only one person who could cause him endure emotional fluctuations, and that person was dead. He would not betray Changan, never.

    If there was a lurking incentive, then he wouldpletely annihte it before his heart flipped. He indeed wanted to kill Ivanov, but now he was more attempted to... to kill this man named Chen An.

    No matter it was those pictures that were used to deliberately make him angry, or the imitated handwriting that he could not tell if it was the true or the fake handwriting of Changan''s, or this man who was sitting in front of him bore almost the same temperament with Changan.

    He buried Changan himself, and Changan had already died. As punishment, he was living with endless yearning and loneliness.

    This was the punishment given by Changan, the memory left by that man. He would not let anyone destroy his memory for Changan. All the things that interfered with his emotions shall be destroyed, whether it was pictures or a human.

    "You want to kill me?" When he heard Lu Feng''s words, Chen An smiled. The raised mouth and cold smile in that man''s eyes made Lu Feng have a moment of confusion. It seemed like this person sitting in front of him was the man that he used to be madly obsessed with.

    It was illusion, just like those pictures, it was the illusion that Ivanov came up to confuse him.

    Lu Feng slightly clenched his winess. His gravelly voice was like the creaking ice chips in a cold winter night. "I want to kill you right now."

    "Then you will have to win me first." Chen An turned over his ace of base.

    ......

    ......

    "Why are you staring me like this?"

    Standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom, Chen An lowered his head and washed his face. Right after he wiped the water off his face and put on his sses, he saw in the mirror that big furry bear was staring at him.

    "What? Seeing that I have won so much money, you want to regret?"

    Chen An turned around, and Ivanov standing next to him suddenly went forward and cornered Chen An between the washstand and his arms. The distance was so close that Chen An could smell the mixed scent of cigar, cologne and vodka on Ivanov.

    "What are you doing?!" With his ss suddenly got removed by Ivanov, Chen An slightly frowned and said unpleasantly.

    Without his sses on, Chen An was a man with super myopia and could not see things five meters away clearly. He did not like this feeling of vagueness at all because it felt like he was surrounded with fog and could not see anything.

    "I find you very attractive without your sses on. What a pair of beautiful and charming eyes!" Ivanov casually put Chen An''s sses aside and used his physical strength to stuck Chen An in the middle of his chest and the washstand.

    Ivanov grinned and leaned closely toward Chen An to sniff the faint bath scent on him. The body shampoo provided by the hotel had a cherry aroma, so on Chen An''s body there was also a cherry fragrance that did not belong to this autumn. Though he was a ruthless man, with such a romantic and sweet smell, even Chen An looked extraordinarily sweet.

    "It is autumn now, not the season of estrus." Using his palm to push against Ivanov''s chest, Chen An turned his head away and looked at his sses.

    As if he was aware of what Chen An was going to do, Ivanov deliberately took the lead and pushed the sses farther.

    "You are not afraid?" Ivanov smiled joyfully as if he was just flirting with a man now.

    "Afraid of what?" Chen An raised his eyebrow like he usually did.

    "That man called Lu Feng, there''s never a target can survive his hunt, and he wants to kill you." Frivolously pinching that man''s jaw, Ivanov squinted at Chen An. It seemed that he had a lot of confusion. "An, you and Lu Feng have just met for two times, but he wants to kill you. This only shows that you can affect him."

 Chapter 71: Glasses Broken

    ¡°I never knew I had such influence.¡±

    Chen An took away Ivanov¡¯s bear paw on his jaw and sighed slightly in the face of his inquiring stare, and there was a little grievance, ¡°Maybe he wanted to kill me, just because I was next to you. What do you think, Ivan? You want to escape responsibility?¡±

    In the past, he was used to be called as Ivanov, but today it suddenly changed into Ivan, a more intimate one. Without sses, the eyes which were a little confused and grieving, stirred waves in the bearlike Ivanov¡¯s heart like being hit by a bullet in the chest.

    ¡°I see, that mad dog is just jealous of me for being with a man like you. Let him be jealous. You¡¯ll always be mine, An.¡±

    The low maic voice, like the narration in the Russian Opera House, was dangerous and intoxicated, revealing Ivanov¡¯s possession word by word. He approached Chen An, and his not-so-soft lips gently brushed the man¡¯s cold cheeks, spraying Chen An¡¯s neck with a burst of heat mixed with alcohol.

    With both hands on the bear¡¯s solid chest, Chen An leaned back and said, ¡°Even if I die, owning a corpse is a kind of possession, right?¡±

    He didn¡¯t like to be too close to Ivanov. The closer he got, the more dangerous he felt about the man. It would be his first andst time toe out with Ivanov.

    There would not be a second time, because next time, he would not be able to stop the bear who wanted to eat him. It was enough to do something too risky once.

    ¡°Well, it sounds like you¡¯re doubting that I can¡¯t protect you, my dear An. The little vulnerability you asionally show really drives me crazy. As long as you stay with me, the man who ims to kill you will have to wait, but of course... in condition that you stay with me all the time.¡±

    Ivanov did not forget to stress the tone of thetter part of the sentence. Heughed softly, appearing to be careless and ulterior. He always tried to have more intimate interaction and friction with Chen An. This kind of easy-going flirting style was difficult for Chen An to hold himself, who was not particrly experienced in this respect.

    Just as he could not control his drunken physique when he drank, Chen could not control his body, which was full of hormones in its prime, from seeking for touch instinctively.

    This body seemed to have inherited Chen An¡¯s desire for homosexuality in the past. Whenever Ivanov, who was handsome and had excessive male hormones, came too close, he could clearly feel his inner agitation.

    Like a widow who had been depressed for decades, longing to be touched, hugged, and even ravaged with discontent.

    Chen An should feel lucky that his self-control was good enough to control his body¡¯s instinctive desire: ¡°Then you have to protect me, Ivan.¡±

    When he finished speaking, he pushed away Ivanov, who was almost on his body by the whole person. Chen An turned around and reached for his sses. It happened that Ivanov was unwilling to give up and adhesive him again.

    After careless collision, the unstable sses fell to the ground with a p. Ivanov eximed and wanted to pick them up. Chan happened to bend down and their heads hit together. Then Chen An heard a crisp sound like broken ss.

    He saw only his sses under Ivanov¡¯s feet, which had already be fractured.

    ¡°You mean it, right?¡± Chen An was leaning aside with his hands in his arms. He didn¡¯t bring spare sses when he went out.

    ¡°This is absolutely a... misunderstanding.¡± Now it was Ivanov¡¯s turn to show a helpless and grieving expression. He really didn¡¯t mean it, although he was quite satisfied with the oue.

 Chapter 72: See Flowers through a Mist

    A pair of sses was nothing more than a pair of sses. As long as Ivanov hooked his finger, someone would send him another pair immediately. This fellow clearly told someone to get one, but after more than half an hour, Chen An did not get his sses.

    So he could only sit at the table and watch the performance on the stage like seeing a flower through a mist, although he had no idea what was being performed on the stage, neither did he know the genders of the performers.

    In the casino VIP hall, he won the game with Lu Feng by a neck. Although the man wanted to kill him, he was safe at least for tonight. Lu Feng said that he would not touch him, then he would abide by his words.

    But Chen An did not think so, because he thought that Lu Feng could kill him if he wanted to kill him.

    But why did he want to kill him? Chen An, who had provided for the need with Lu Feng for more than ten years, has vaguely touched a corner of the truth, but guessing was always guessing.

    ¡°The more I see, the more you guys are alike.¡± Ivanov, who was drinking vodka next to him, said suddenly.

    ¡°Like what?¡± Chen An rested his head in his hands listlessly, still nning how to contact Yuri at that time, and nning how to transport the goods when he got them. Hecked some means of transportation, such as airnes.

    Although he won a lot of money from Ivanov and Lu Feng this evening, it was still far from buying an airne. He could not invest all his money in the purchase of an airne. What was more, acquiring arge amount of money from his former ount would certainly attract Lu Feng¡¯s attention.

    Lu Feng looked at the bear nearest to him only of whom he could ensure the gender. Now there was a big local tyrant beside him who bought a ne like buying toys. Anyway, he decided to damage Ivanov¡¯s supply of goods, and it would not matter if he asked a ne from him?

    ¡°Although the appearance is not the same, but the temperament and feeling are really simr. No wonder Lu Feng wants to kill you.¡± Ivanov rubbed his jaw and was still there staring at the man whom he regarded as his possession. He did not know that Chen An was also thinking about doing something to him at that time.

    Chen An certainly knew who Ivanov said he was like. He pretended to be foolish and this almost became his daily life. ¡°Like his enemy?¡±

    "Wrong, it¡¯s a man who he loves madly.¡± It seemed that he suddenly remembered the old man, and Ivanov, who had always been in high spirits, sighed with disappointment, poured a big mouthful of vodka and gulped down, then he looked at the stage confusedly and murmured in this way.

    ¡°A man who left the world in the cruelest way, now I suddenly understand why I am interested in you. Although wearing different skins, you and the old fox are a bit alike. You all like to y with people, as if you are poised to find a way to solve whatever happens.¡±

    Casting a sidelong nce at Chen An, Ivanov¡¯s eyes were shining and heughed in a low voice. ¡°If I hadn¡¯t checked your information earlier, I would have thought you were the old fox.¡±

    ¡°It sounds like I¡¯m a substitute,¡± Chen An seemed to hear something terrible. He looked at the man next to him and asked, ¡°Do you also like the old fox you are talking about?¡±

    ¡°I only like you now, dear.¡±

    Although only aughing reply was received, Ivanov did not have a positive answer but it would have exined the problem.

    Chen An secretly talked to himself in his heart. He didn¡¯t know that his charm was so great in his previous life. But since both Ivanov and a Lu Feng all liked him, how could no one dare to express it?

    But the question was, who dared to tell Chen An in hisst life?

    As long as Lu Feng dared to reveal his special love for Chen An, he was afraid that his post would be demoted immediately. Even if he had no worries about losing his life, he would never be close to Chen An again.

    As for Ivanov, if he dared to express his love he would have to wait for the old fox tough at him till he died and plunder resources without fear. Didn''t you like me? ¡®If you like me, dedicate everything to me.¡¯ This was the rule of the old fox.

    Because he could not approach Chen An in a normal way, Lu Feng finally became betrayal, and Ivanov became Chen¡¯s biggestpetitor.

    When he was no longer an old fox, jumping out of the circle of the parties and looking at the past from the outsider¡¯s perspective, how could Chen An not see the truth?

 Chapter 73: Target Found

    "I hope I can see my sses ready when Ie back."

    Leaving a word, Chen An got up and left the table to walk to the bathroom. Fortunately, Ivanov''s bodyguard helped to clear the way. Otherwise, it would not be easy for him to get to the bathroom five meters away smoothly in such a situation that people and animals were inseparable from each other.

    "Stay outside." Before opening the door and entering, Chen An told them that he had no special hobby of being surrounded by bodyguards.

    "What a coincidence." He closed the door and avoided the bodyguards'' sights. Chen An smiled and saw a middle-aged Russian who was washing his hands. His pure Russian made the man a little stunned.

    The middle-aged Russian smiled kindly and nodded to Chen An, "Hello."

    Just now, Chen An''s calm performance on the gambling table and Ivanov''s generous gift showed that this Chinese man named Chen An was different from the boy toys Ivanov used to have around him.

    "I just saw Ivan with you. I wonder if I can trouble you with one thing?" Chen An smiled and said, "Mr. Yuri."

    "Of course." He seemed to be a little surprised that the other party actually knew his name. The middle-aged Russian looked at Chen An with a little more curiosity.

    "Tell Ivan I''ll go out to rest for a while and then go back, so that he doesn''t have to worry. Thank you, Mr. Yuri." Chen An had an embarrassing look saying this.

    "No trouble, oh, I don''t know how to address you yet?" Yuri wiped his hand and extended it to Chen An.

    "Chen An." The old fox smiled friendly. He touched his shoulder at the same time as he reached out and the small monitor hidden between his fingers was stuck under Yuri''s cor.

    Chen An naturally opened the door of the bathroom for Yuri, who left the bathroom gratefully without realizing that he had a monitor on his body.

    The door of the bathroom closed again, and the smile on Chen An''s face slowly faded until it disappeared. He went to the bathroom counter and bowed his head to wash his hands. He looked at the mirror and closed his eyes to try to make his vision clearer. At this time, the door of the bathroom was opened from outside.

    "Excuse me, sir." An Asian-faced waiter came in with a rag. Chen An looked at him and narrowed his eyes instinctively because he could not see him clearly. He had not seen what the waiter looked like, and the waiter turned and went into the smallpartment of the bathroom.

    "Sir?" Several bodyguards asked quietly outside the door.

    "It''s all right." Chen An took the paper towel and wiped his hands. He looked at the waiter who was cleaning the toilet lid slightly and turned to leave the bathroom.

    Shortly after Chen An left, the waiter squatting on the floor wiping the toilet lid stopped, went to the door and hung a sign "Cleaning" and locked the door.

    "Target found. Tracking is the main way. Must not expose our actions," Ding Sheng said, frowning at the walkie-talkie. "And... You can''t act without my orders."

    "Ding Sheng, there is a Chinese man near Ivanov recently. We just checked his information. It seems that he doesn''t belong to any gang. You can see if you can find a breakthrough from him."

    "Yes." Ding Sheng shut down his walkie-talkie and frowned at the ce where Chen An had just stayed. How could Chen An be near Ivanov? It was hard not to say that Chen An had not contacted him recently because he was kidnapped by Ivanov.

    No, he must save Chen An!

 Chapter 74: Emotional Incontinence

    After leaving the restaurant in which there were carnal performances specially for the rich, Chen An came to the hotel¡¯s air garden and ordered a cup of coffee to sit alone in the soft moonlight and enjoyed the sea view.

    With a little salty sea breeze gently blowing over and stroking the hair above the forehead, Chen An handily tided up his hair. When his eyes were blurred, it seemed that other senses became more sensitive. He simply closed his eyes and listened quietly to the sound of the night breeze embracing the waves.

    But in this pure natural sounds, there were some harsh arguments. Chen An opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the entrance to the garden cafe. In a blurred vision, he could only see a few bodyguards seeming to be arguing with people. A man in trench coat was striding in his direction, that was Lu Feng.

    The sea breeze hurled up the man¡¯s trench coat. Even if he could only see it vaguely, Chen An knew how handsome Lu Feng was when he came to him.

    From childhood to adulthood, Lu Feng had attracted countless women and even men¡¯s eyes with his handsome appearance, cool temperament and young but steady face.

    He had never understood why Lu Feng never looked for a woman. He thought Lu Feng had seen too much of the cold world thus he didn¡¯t believe in love, or had some problems in delivering certain performances. Who knew that Lu Feng had turned his mind to him. What a shame that he was once worried about finding a doctor for Lu Feng before.

    ¡°Do I really look like him?¡± Chen An tapped lightly on the table to signal Lu Feng to sit down. He leaned back on the back of the chair, raised his jaw slightly with his legs ovepping, and gazed quietly at the man who hade in front of him.

    ¡°You are not qualified to talk about him.¡±

    The voice was even colder than the cold night wind. Chen An suddenly wanted tough. ¡®This is Lu Feng¡¯s attitude towards other people, cold and cruel.¡¯

    ¡°I bet I really look alike him, or you won¡¯te to me intentionally, to have a close look, and then make sure I¡¯m not disguised?¡± Chen An could not see clearly the expression of the man sitting opposite him, but he could feel a cold breath emanating from Lu Feng¡¯s body.

    ¡°Let¡¯s talk about you want to die in which way.¡±

    This threat would work on anyone but Chen An, not at all.

    ¡°I am not afraid of dying.¡± Chen Anughed like a self-mockery. He took a mouthful of bitter ck coffee and stood up slowly. He looked down with half-squint eyes from a height at Lu Feng, this man who had been raised for more than ten years by him, and was as well brought up as his brother or child.

    After a slight nce, he turned and he boldly presented his back to Lu Feng. As he walked up to the balcony, he said, ¡°You can shoot at my temple, or at my heart. If you don¡¯t feel relieved of hatred, how about throwing me down from the building?¡±

    Chen An stood on the balcony, beneath him was the sea rolling with waves. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He opened his hands and embraced the night and the sea breeze. He murmured, ¡°Like a broken kite, it was blown far away, and then it fell apart like a broken doll...¡±

    ¡°Enough!¡±

    With a burst of roar, Chen An was suddenly overturned by the man behind him and pressed hard on the balcony railings. Lu Feng pinched his neck with one hand and a cold face.

    For a moment, it was hard to breathe. Chen An grinned. He looked down. There was nothing but endless darkness. He narrowed his eyes and tried to see the expression on Lu Feng¡¯s face more clearly. His lips opened slightly and he made a difficult noise: ¡°Kill me, as long as you push hard, I will fall down and be swallowed by the sea...¡±

    The hand stuck in the man''s neck tightened slightly. Chen An could not speak. The hands hanging on both sides of his body were gently grasped and loosened. Chen An just looked at Lu Feng.

    Clearly, the vision was blurred, but for a moment every minute expression on Lu Feng¡¯s face was captured in his eyes: struggle, contradiction, pain and grief that showed more suffering than death.

    Lu Feng¡¯s expression on the verge of copse made Chen An¡¯s chest ache slightly. That was what he wanted. He wanted to see this traitor lead a painful life like death. He wanted to follow him to die. He knew that this was his punishment to spend the rest of his life miserably in guilt and endless regret.

    It was more and more difficult to breathe, but Chen An curled up the corners of his mouth andughed.

    This sarcastic, cold and even cruelugh suddenly let Lu Feng unsp his hand and stare at Chen An like a ghost, who was coughing fiercely because of this sudden loose of hold.

    Unbelievable, surprised, doubtful and with some strong but unbelievable expectation, all theseplex expressions were all seen through by Chen An.

    ¡°Why did you suddenly let go of me?" Chen An breathed heavily and sat down slowly, leaning against the balcony, stretching his sore neck gently.

    Lu Feng looked at him and said, ¡°Who are you?¡±

    Who was I? That¡¯s a good question.

    Chen An looked over Lu Feng to a blurred but conspicuous blonde figure not far away and grinned. ¡°I''m Ivanov¡¯s man.¡±

    ...

    The angry Bear punched in the face of Lu Feng. Ivanov strode up and picked up Chen An who had fallen to the ground, leaving a sneer as he passed Lu Feng: ¡°He¡¯s mine, not your Chen Chang¡¯an!¡±

    Chen An slowly closed his eyes. After calming down, he suddenly found that every time he met Lu Feng, he couldn¡¯t control his mood.

    ¡°Call the doctor.¡±

    Ivanovid Chen An gently on the bed. He carefully checked the bruise on Chen An¡¯s neck. His eyes glimmered with cold light, but he said quietly, ¡°Honey, it¡¯s all right.¡±

    ¡°I want to take a bath.¡± Chen An sat up from bed. He was not so weak.

    Ivanov soon arranged hot water for Chen An. Although Ivanov wanted to stay, he was immediately refused by Chen An for the reason of ¡°wanting to be quiet alone¡±.

    ¡°Honey, I¡¯ll be just in my room. Call me if there is anything, okay?¡± Outside the door came Ivanov¡¯s voice.

    He was no longer a little child. Chen An, soaking in the bathtub, took hot water and sprinkled it on his sore neck. He suddenlyughed when he remembered what had just happened on the balcony. He hoped that Lu Feng could have strangled him to death.

    Leaningfortably in the bathtub, Chen An took the remote control and turned on the TV in the bathroom. He put on his sses matched for him by Ivanov.

    The blurred world finally became clear. Chen Anined secretly that he had not gone to school, so how did his eyes be myopic?

    There was a show being broadcast live on TV in the restaurant, which was only avable in a few special rooms. When Chen An saw the scene of people being SMed on the stage, he almost thought his eyes were dazzled.

    ¡°Vulgar.¡± When the camera drew closer and he saw the image of a man being SMed, Chen Ann could not help scolding in his heart. He could guess with his toes that it was Ivanov¡¯s ¡®gift¡¯ to Lu Feng.

    A cheap cosmetic product, deliberately resembling him in the past, was designed to provoke Lu Feng?

    Looking at this man who was somewhat simr to himself in the past, being ¡®SMed¡¯ and pretending to shout, Chen An¡¯s previous heavy mood immediately dissipatedpletely. He really had enough of Ivanov¡¯s childish character.

    ¡°I¡¯ll do whatever you don¡¯t like. I can¡¯t kill you, but you can¡¯t kill me, either.¡±

    This was probably the true thoughts of Ivanov. He was a hateful bear, but Lu Feng could do nothing to him.

    Ivanov knew clearly what the weakness of Lu Feng was, but Lu Feng did not know the weakness of Ivanov. At least at present, it seemed that Ivanov did not have any weakness.

    ¡°How dare you to pull up pranks on me? I can¡¯t stand it if I don¡¯t let you pay for it.¡± Chen An tuned the TV to the movie channel, intentionally amplified the sound, and took out his mobile phone from his pocket.

    Chen An made a call and said, ¡°Chen Yang, have you received it?¡±

    ¡°Yes, uncle.¡±

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll leave it to you. I¡¯ll contact you tomorrow if there¡¯s anything else.¡±

    ¡°Uncle... Are you all right over there?¡±

    Just when Chen An was about to hang up his mobile phone, Chen Yang¡¯s worried voice came from the other end of the phone. Chen An smiled slightly: ¡°What problem would I possibly have? Don¡¯t underestimate me.¡±

    After hesitation, Chen An suddenly asked, ¡°Chen Yang, do you believe me?¡±

    ¡°Of course, I believe you. You are my uncle, my rtives. Of course I believe you, so uncle, you must not have any problem, andpared with money, you are more important in my heart.¡±

    Family members?

    Chen An smiled warmly and said, ¡°I see. You have to take good care of yourself outside. Bye.¡±

    Putting the mobile phone aside, Chen An closed his eyes and leaned against the bathtub, allowing himself to rx in hot water. Chen Yang had a girlfriend before, how could he have special feelings for his family?

    People could not be once bitten, twice shy.

 Chapter 75: Collaborate from within with Forces from without

    Ivanov went out early in the morning and Chen An got a chance to enjoy a breakfast alone.

    The man in his nightgown turned on the TV to watch thetest news while sipping his coffee. Although he shared a suite with Ivanov, the furry bear was a gentleman in private and never ran across the border to his bedroom.

    With one month to go before the agreed time for the game. Ivanov could wait for a month, but whether he could find Chen An or not would be another question.

    ¡°Room service, sir.¡± With a knock at the door, there came a young man¡¯s voice outside the door. The familiar voice drew the attention of the man who was drinking coffee.

    ¡°Come in.¡± After putting down his coffee cup, Chen continued to lean on the soft sofa to watch his TV. The bodyguard standing at the door looked inside and quickly returned to his original position.

    ¡°You¡¯vee just at the right moment. Come and help me see it.¡± ncing at the slightly open door, Chen An said a word and went to the balcony of the room.

    ¡°Okay, sir.¡± The waiter followed him.

    When two people came to the balcony, before Chen An could speak, the waiter asked anxiously, ¡°Uncle An, why are you here?¡±

    ¡°This isplicated to exin,¡± Chen sighed, looking at Ding Sheng, who disguised as a waiter. ¡°Ding Sheng, are you here to investigate Ivanov?¡±

    ¡°Yeah, we found out that Ivanov may up to a grand deal recently. It¡¯s so important, but I didn¡¯t expect Uncle An to be around Ivanov.¡± Ding Sheng¡¯s voice became smaller and stamped his feet hatefully. ¡°It''s all my fault. I should have paid special attention to it long ago. Otherwise, you would not have been caught by Ivanov, Uncle An.¡±

    ¡°You are an international policeman who has a lot of things to attend to every day and flies around. How can you take care of me every day? But don¡¯t worry about me. Ivanov will not do me any harm for the time being.¡±

    Chen Anforted Ding Sheng andughed in his heart. Ding Sheng came in time. Maybe this time he could not only intercept Ivanov¡¯s goods, but also help Ding Sheng send the bear to prison.

    ¡°Uncle, don¡¯tfort me. Look at you now. Can I feel at ease?¡± When Chen An was thinking, Ding Sheng suddenly came forward and touched his neck lightly. The young Interpol¡¯s sad and angry appearance made Chen An smile unconsciously.

    It seemed that the bruise left by Lu Feng when he pinched his neck yesterday hadn¡¯t dispersed yet, but Ding Sheng misunderstood it. But if he misunderstood it, the possibility of him getting rid of the suspicion would be even greater in the future.

    The rtionship purchased by money was no match for the ones built on true feelings.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Uncle An. I¡¯ll arrange someone to help you out!¡± Ding Sheng looked at the bruise on Chen An¡¯s neck. He clenched his teeth hard and made up his mind to rescue Chen An anyway.

    ¡°Are you crazy?¡± Chen An stepped back and avoided the touch of Ding Sheng. He pulled his cor and looked serious. ¡°Although I am not an international policeman, I also know that if you suddenly rescue me, it will surely attract Ivanov¡¯s attention. It will certainly affect the whole situation and make Ivanov vignt.¡±

    ¡°But...¡± What Chen An said made Ding Sheng immediatelye to his senses. He was indeed a bit reckless. As a policeman, his primary aim was to catch Ivanov, but how could he watch Chen An in danger and stand by?

    ¡°Ding Sheng.¡± Chen An blocked his words with his finger and looked at Ding Sheng¡¯s anxious eyes and whispered, ¡°Only if Ivanov is put in jail can I be really safe. Let me help you catch him.¡±

 Chapter 76: Careful Planning

    ¡°Ding Sheng, listen to me, Ivanov has his informer inside the police department. Even if you keep it secret, it will inevitably leak out. That¡¯s why you can¡¯t catch Ivanov this whole time. Unfortunately, I don¡¯t know who is the undercover, but now I can help you catch Ivanov.¡±

    ¡°Ivanov¡¯s munition deal is actually a core technology of weapons of mass destruction, worth a billion dors. If it flows into the hands of criminals, it will have unimaginable consequences. It must be stopped before Ivanov makes it.¡±

    ¡°Tell me how I can help you.¡±

    ¡°Uncle An, you just need to pay attention to Ivanov¡¯s actions. The biggest problem we have now is that Ivanov always gets the news before we act and will run away.¡±

    ¡°I know what to do. Don¡¯t worry, Ding Sheng. I¡¯ll be fine.¡±

    Thoughts came back from the conversation with Ding Sheng this morning. Chen An sat in the recliner and drank fruit juice while watching the blonde man swimming in the swimming pool like a mermaid. His broad shoulders sometimes showed strong and beautiful muscles when he caught some air out of the water, and his wet blonde hair was particrly beautiful in the sunshine.

    In Singapore, there were not only international police hiding in the shadows, but alsopetitors like Lu Feng. Faced with a billion-dor order, nobody minded jumping out and grabbing Ivanov¡¯s fresh meat from his mouth.

    Everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on Ivanov, so Ivanov wouldn¡¯t be on the weapons trading scene in person, because that was too risky, which was probably what most people would think.

    But often, the most dangerous ce was the safest ce. What made Chen An think of this was what Ivanov said to him that night: No one could kill you while I was around.

    This reminded Chen An that since Ivanov had the confidence to protect him, it would only be natural that he had the confidence to protect the core technology of weapons.

    Apart from Ivanov¡¯s words, which convinced him that the real trading item was right next to Ivanov, it was the microphone he put on Yurist night.

    ¡°Ding Dong-¡±

    The mobile phone rang, Chen An picked up the mobile phone and looked at the iing information. It was Chen Yang who sent it. There was only a simple sentence: Uncle,undry is done at home.

    At the other end of the cell phone, the hotel attendant stuffed the cell phone back into his pocket after sending out the information. It was not only Ding Sheng who pretended to be a waiter. Chen Yang, who came to the hotel to work a week ago, took the dirty clothes he had received from his guest room into theundry room. Before that, he secretly removed the eavesdropper Chen An hid in Yuri¡¯s corst night.

    As if nothing had happened, Chen Yang turned around and left after putting his clothes in theundry.

    Yuri might check theundry thoroughly when he received it, but not when he delivered it, to see if there was anything more.

    After getting the desired information, it was a risky move to let the eavesdropper put on the target. Chen An did not want to ruin the whole n due to a bold move. There was a better way to remove the eavesdropper from Yuri.

    It would be enough if two tourists to Singapore ¡°identally¡± spilled juice on Yuri next to him because of their quarrel in the morning.

    As for the candidates, Liu Xiaojie, who was used to get over-exited and had a little acting nature, would have an excellent performance. Wang Hao, who had been addicted to drugs since returning from Ukraine, could also be easily controlled as a puppet.

    Chen Yang, who left theundry room, arrived at the entrance of the hotel. He would take two hotel guests to the airport today.

    Starting the car, Chen Yang looked through the rearview mirror at Wang Hao and Liu Xiaojie, who were sitting behind them, and raised his thin lips slightly upward: ¡°Well done.¡±

    ¡°My, my things...¡± Wang Hao¡¯s eyes were filled with anxiety and urgency.

    ¡°When I get back home, I¡¯ll have people bring you things.¡± Chen Yang suddenly dropped his voice, and a light of killing shed in his eyes. ¡°But if you let anything leaked, you know what¡¯s to be of you.¡±

 Chapter 77: Banter in the Swimming Pool (Part I)

    ¡°An, don¡¯t want toe down?¡±

    With his wet head and swimming goggles on, the big hairy bear emerged from the water and waved to a non-swimmer sitting nearby drinking juice and reading magazines.

    ¡°No.¡±

    Chen An did not cast a single look at Ivanov, and continued to look at the magazine in his hand. He could not swim in his previous life, nor in this lifetime. Although he liked the feeling of soaking in water, he did not want to put on a swimming ring in front of Ivanov, which was too disgraceful.

    Uncle An¡¯s self-esteem was higher than the sky, let alone in his eyes Ivanov was only a descendant, and how could he lose face in front of the descendants.

    ¡°Can¡¯t you swim?¡± With the sound of a ssh, Ivanov put his hands together and jumped out of the swimming pool.

    The man wearing only a pair of tight swimming trunks showed his perfect figure in the sunshine. A pair of Russian long-legged strode towards Chen An. Under Ivanov¡¯s swimming goggles, his eyes fell on Chen An¡¯s smooth legs with fair tone because he had not been exposed to the sun for a long time.

    Even if he couldn¡¯t swim, Chen An shouldn¡¯t go this far to get this bundled up beside the pool. What¡¯s more, today¡¯s weather was rarely nice. Ivanov himself wore a simple T-shirt on his upper body and a pair of beach trousers on his legs and barefoot, enjoying the sunshine licking wantonly.

    Licking?

    Suddenly feeling a little wet and itchy on the back of his feet, Chen immediately moved his eyes away from the magazine in front of him and looked at Ivanov, who was half kneeling in front of him. The furry bear stretched out his tongue and was licking the back of his feet.

    Chen An instinctively stepped on Ivanov¡¯s face with one foot and showed no mercy.

    The quick-witted bear dodged the foot that nearly stepped on his face to make him look disfigured. Ivanovughed as he looked at Chen An, who was obviously a little angry. ¡°An, you really don¡¯t know anything about the little acts of romance.¡±

    Before he had finished speaking, a magazine flew towards him, and he somewhat awkwardly avoided Chen¡¯s attack. The bodyguards next to him looked away, pretending not to see their boss being attacked by his lover.

    But how could Ivanov be willing to be kicked by Chen An and be thrown magazines at without a little revenge? After escaping the magazine, the bear immediately rushed to Chen An and jumped into the swimming pool with Chen An¡¯s waist in his arms after receiving several hard punches and kicks.

    ¡°Ivanov!¡± At the moment of sinking into the water, Chen An shouted the name of the bear.

    The old fox was not afraid to die, but he didn¡¯t want to die in the swimming pool at all. Chen An, who could not swim, instinctively feared the water. He caught the only thing he could catch in the water, a furry bear named Ivanov.

    ¡°I like you shouting my name, dear.¡± Ivanovughed and took Chen An out of the water while swimming with the man to the center of the pool, as far away as possible from the shore.

    In order not to let himself sink, Chen An had to grip Ivanov¡¯s shoulder. The sses on his nose had fallen into the water. He rubbed his eyes which had water in them. After several coughs, he looked back at the blurred shore farther and farther away from himself, and the corners of his eyes suddenly twitched.

    ¡°Send me back.¡± The old fox said annoyingly.

    Unfortunately, the initiative was not in Chen An¡¯s hands. Ivanov liked to see the calm man panicked. Only then did Ivanov feel that the man in his arms was a real person, not a bubble that would disappear at any time.

    He held Chen An¡¯s waist with one hand to keep the man from drowning. It almost set Ivanov to a roaringughter when he confirmed that Chen An couldn¡¯t swim. He finally grasped the man¡¯s weakness and deliberately hugged Chen An¡¯s hip with one hand.

    Soaked in water, beach trousers couldn¡¯t stop the wide palms from transferring the warm body heat of the bear to Chen An¡¯s buttocks. Chen An suddenly became serious: ¡°Ivanov, move your hands away.¡±

    ¡°Well, if you really want it.¡± The bear smiled wickedly and really let go of his hands. Not only that, he also grabbed Chen An¡¯s hand holding his shoulder and pulled Chen An off him and let the man sink into the swimming pool.

 Chapter 78: Banter in the Swimming Pool (Part II)

    Chen did not think Ivanov would drown him in the swimming pool, at least not now.

    This disgusting man just wanted to see his helpless appearance and how he reached out for help in despair. It was disgusting and bad. Once he really reached out for help, he could be rescued from the water immediately. But wouldn¡¯t that be satisfying his fantasy?

    No matter how deep the swimming pool was, as long as the water covered the top of his head, Chen An saw no difference between the swimming pool and the sea. The body that fell into the pool was sinking to the bottom of the pool. What¡¯s more, Ivanov maliciously grabbed Chen An¡¯s cor with his hand and intentionally pressed him into the water.

    Through the swaying pool water, he could see Ivanov¡¯s wicked smile. The bear seemed to be saying something. The voice dimly passed through the pool water to Chen An¡¯s ears, vaguely like ¡°beg me¡±.

    Oxygen from the mouth and nose forming into small bubbles running to the water surface, the suffocation was ufortable, and Chen An clenched his fist slightly. Time was like stagnant water, slow and long, and the original blurred vision had be more and more blurred. Ivanov as well as the whole world became unclear.

    At one moment Chen An seemed to be back more than a year ago. He stood on the balcony£¬smiled and waved at Lu Feng who was charging toward him. He clearly saw Lu Feng¡¯s exciting and radiant face when he saw him waving. It was the first time that Lu Feng showed a bright and beaming smile in front of him.

    Then he took out his pistol and pointed it at his temple. When the bright red blood blurred his vision, he could see every expression on Lu Feng¡¯s face very clearly before he fell into the boundless darkness.

    Just as he stood in front of Lu Feng, every minute expression of Lu Feng was clearly seen by him, from hope to despair, from excitement to surprise, from joy to sorrow.

    Something broke. Lu Feng¡¯s world copsed. He seemed to hear the sound of his skull breaking.

    What was more terrible was why before he closed his eyes, he not only thought of Chang Le, but also Lu Feng, an orphan who was picked up from the street by him and knelt down in front of his bed and whispered alongside him repeatedly: could you love me? Even for one day, one second...

    Suddenly, the body was hugged and dragged from the water. Chen An¡¯s thoughts suddenly returned to the real world from the moment before hisst life¡¯s death. The man who got the breath instantly choked and coughed after someone hit his back hard.

    He was still in a fog. Chen An, lying on Ivanov¡¯s shoulder, gasped. He heard Ivanov say in his ear, ¡°I¡¯ve never seen a man like you. Aren¡¯t you afraid of drowning? It¡¯s that difficult to reach out to me?¡±

    ¡°Bastard...¡± He who just came out of the water could not hear Ivanov¡¯s voice clearly. He felt that there was ayer of water in his ears. Chen An closed his eyes painfully. His vision was still blurred. He needed a dry towel.

    ¡°I should have drowned you just now.¡±

    Ivanov suddenly felt powerless. He pressed Chen An¡¯s back of the head and kissed the man he was reluctant to kill, licking and plundering while the man was still out of power.

    He never knew how long he had not felt the impulse which could be ignited by just a kiss.

    Ivanov felt as if he had just be awakening of love many years ago. He was green and nervous. He moved away Chen An¡¯s hand and put his hand into his clothes. He felt that the man in his arms began to struggle. Ivanov, by virtue of his physical strength and Chen An¡¯s weakness in the water, kissed the man strongly while pulling his trousers.

    Chen An, who had not recovered, bit hard, and Ivanov¡¯s tongue was suddenly bleeding. The Bear scolded and had to leave the man¡¯s lips: ¡°Damn!¡±

 Chapter 79: Go with me

    Ivanov had hardly finished scolding when he saw Chen An embracing him. The sweet embrace brought a brief negligence. His critical part took a severe hit from Chen¡¯s knee. Ivanov almost sank into the water with pain.

    ¡°Chen An!¡± The angry furry bear roared at the man.

    The roared man took a deep breath and sank into the water. He could not swim anyway. He simply held his breath and went to the pool side. He saw Chen An, who could not swim, walk to the pool and climb up with both hands.

    ¡°Cough!¡± After gasping for breaths, Chen An nced at Ivanov, who was swimming towards the pool. Ignoring the staring gaze of others, he got up, grabbed a towel, wiped his face and turned away. Sooner orter, he would skin the fur of bear alive!

    So the wet man came to the door under the public¡¯s attention. Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him. Chen An, who was not wearing sses, could not see the man clearly. He saw the maning quickly and grabbed him by the arm.

    What was wrong with today? Everyone was crazy?

    ¡°Can¡¯t wait to kill me?¡±

    Without pushing the other side aside, Chen An suddenly thought of the experience of thinking about Lu Feng in the swimming pool. This was probably the first time in his life that he was embraced by Lu Feng. Even if he had changed into another person, he would feel familiar when he was embraced by the other side.

    Once trapped on the ind by Lu Feng, Lu Feng liked to hold him in his arms when he was physically weak, as if he wanted him to be embedded in his body.

    Lu Feng, who suddenly appeared, did not speak, but hugged the man who was obviously still recovering. It was inevitable that anyone who almost drowned would be weak.

    He was almost choke to death the day before yesterday and almost drowned today. Lu Feng really believed that the god had made him live to suffer.

    ¡°Lu Feng, what are you doing with my man? What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Ivanov twitched his mouth ufortably. It was such a terrible time for him to appear. Lu Feng really hoped to cut off those hands holding Chen An.

    Lu Feng stared at Ivanov with a poker face, who climbed out of the pool. ¡°Give me this man.¡±

    ¡°What?!¡± Ivanov was astonished. Lu Feng wanted Chen An?

    ¡°I won¡¯t involve into deal with Saudi Arabia.¡± Lu Feng¡¯s earnest expression did not seem to be joking at all. It was attractive to trade hundreds of millions of dors for a man anyway.

    ¡°You¡¯re going to give up the trade worthy of hundreds of millions just for him?¡± Pointing to Chen An, Ivanov couldn¡¯t helpughing. ¡°If you do that, the old fox will not forgive you in theher world.¡±

    Hearing the word ¡°her world ¡°, Chen An raised his eyebrows

    When did he be Ivanov¡¯s man? Why didn¡¯t he know? Chen An put his hand on Lu Feng¡¯s shoulder: ¡°Why don¡¯t you give me the money and I¡¯ll go with you?¡±

    ¡°Hey, honey, I¡¯m just ying around with you. You¡¯re not going to abandon me, are you? Come on, okay, I¡¯m wrong. I won¡¯t do it again next time. Don¡¯t be angry with me, my dear An...¡±

    Before Ivanov had finished his apology, Lu Feng responded decisively to Chen An¡¯s words: ¡°Okay, I promise you, and you go with me.¡±

    .

    ¡°He¡¯ll kill you, An. You can¡¯t use his money even you get it.¡± With his hands crossing in front of his chest, Ivanov had to remind Chen An, ¡°Don¡¯t you forget how this guy treated you in the air garden that night?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not convincing to hear that from your mouth,¡± Chen said satirically to Ivanov, who had just maliciously pressed him into the water. He turned to Lu Feng next to him, with some meaningful signs shing in his eyes, and he slightly touched his hand on the shoulder and asked, ¡°Will you kill me?¡±

 Chapter 80: It Was You, Right?

    "Uncle, it''s you, right?"

    Without answering Chen An''s question, Lu Feng stared straight at the man''s eyes, which never seemed to have any emotion. The slight trembling, wishful and cautious voice was so slight that only Chen An, who was close to Lu Feng, could hear it.

    It was not difficult for Chen An to say yes or no. He could deny Lu Feng''s crazy but true guess directly. Just two words were enough.

    Chen An said two words, but they were more harmful than denying or affirming directly. He raised his lips and smiled lightly. "Guess it."

    These two words were enough to make Lu Feng crazy. He would not let Chen An go until the answer was confirmed. He would not.

    "Come back, An," Ivanov felt very ufortable when he saw two people not far away holding each other, whispering secretly. He narrowed his eyes slightly. "What Lu Feng can give you, I can give you twice as much."

    "Sounds like I worth a lot of money." The gaze still remained on Lu Feng. Chen An slowly withdrew his hand from Lu Feng''s shoulder with a faint smile. This action alerted Lu Feng at once. Suddenly, he stepped forward, opened his arms and firmly embraced the man with wet clothes in his arms.

    "Don''t go, don''t leave me anymore... Please..."

    Like a child who was afraid of being abandoned by his parents, Lu Feng held Chen An in his arms. Chen An''s indifferent smile reminded him of that terrible afternoon.

    On a clear day by the blue sea, he watched the man pull the trigger with his indifferent smile, and the bright red blood flowed freely in the sea breeze. For a moment, it was like falling into hell, which made him almost madly destroyed.

    For a man in the abyss of hell, when given a slightest stroke of hope, he would desperately seize it deadly. The man in his arms bore a striking resemnce to Chang An, especially the indifferent eyes that seemed to care about nothing.

    If this were a dream, he wished he could indulge in it and never wake up.

    "Lu Feng, raise your head and take a closer look at who he is!" Ivanov strode forward and brutally pulled Chen An out of Lu Feng''s arms. He looked at Lu Feng indifferently and said, "He''s my Chen An, not your Chang An, understand?"

    Lu Feng looked at Chen An in a stunned way. The two men really didn''t look alike.

    On the one hand, he was loyal to Chen Chang''an and never betrayed him. On the other hand, he was attached to a man who was very simr to Chen Chang''an and was attracted by him irresistibly. For a time, Lu Feng was caught in a struggle of contradiction and was almost schizophrenic.

    "Are you Uncle An?" Lu Feng asked again.

    Looking at the man who was almost mad in front of him, Chen An''s chest suddenly became a little stuffy and did not answer Lu Feng''s question. Ivanov next to him grabbed his hand and he left the swimming pool under the protection of several bodyguards.

    When Chen An left, he looked back at the man who was still standing by the pool. Lu Feng was still standing there, bowing his head and falling into the muddy swamp of imagination which was hard to climb out of. .

    Ivanov looked over Chen An''s eyesight direction and sneered indifferently. "Old fox is so cruel. Lu Feng will be mad sooner orter. Well, dear, stop looking at that madman. He doesn''t like you anymore."

    "Why, is it you who like me?" He turned his head and stop looking at Lu Feng. Chen An looked at Ivanov with a stinging voice. He was getting more and more annoyed with Ivanov now.

    "I''m wrong. Shall I apologize? Don''t get angry again, dear, your sses." Ivanov lowered his head like a wilting bear. Like his little daughter-inw, he returned clean sses to Chen An. When Chen An reached for them, he held the man up in his arms again.

    "I''m wrong. I apologize, ok? Don''t get angry again, dear, your sses." Ivanov lowered his head like a wilting bear. Like a little girl, he returned clean sses to Chen An. When Chen An reached for them, he held man up again.

    Originally meaning to jump down, but the body suddenly lost strength, not because the body got weak as he was almost drowned, but because thinking of the man still at the pool side somehow made him weak and tired.

 Chapter 81: A Billion-dollar Commitment

    ¡°Don¡¯t bother me.¡± With half closed eyes, the man nced at Ivanov sitting beside the bed like a nanny. Lying in bed, Chen An turned over his body, pulled over the quilt, covered half his head and closed his eyes again to sleep.

    After returning to the bedroom, he took a hot bath and felt slightly dizzy when he came out. Chen An decided to drink some hot water and have a good sleep to get his body back to its best condition.

    If it hadn¡¯t been for the secret document, Chen would have kicked Ivanov away, and would not have followed the bear back to the hotel.

    .

    ¡°You just imagine that I¡¯m the air, do not exist.

    Have a good rest, dear.¡±

    Seeing Chen An as if he had fallen asleep without any movement, revealing only half his hairy ck head, Ivanov sat by the bed for a while, he reached out and touched Chen An¡¯s hair lightly. It was clear that he was a stubborn man, but his hair was unusually soft and smooth.

    Thinking of what just happened in the swimming pool, he originally just wanted to let this man to ask for help, to meet his little bit of male mentality, but Chen An seemed to have seen through it, so the situation immediately went toward the direction in which both sides would notpromise.

    When Ivanov came to the balcony alone, he took out a cigar and lit a match. He took a deep puff and let the smoke wantonly fill his mouth.

    Exhaling a mouthful of smoke, Ivanov suddenly pinched his forehead where was pestered with a headache. He looked back at the man who had fallen asleep in his bedroom. He leaned back on the balcony and smoked his cigar while looking at Chen An¡¯s profile until a cigar turned into ashes and was blown away by the sea breeze.

    ¡°What¡¯s this?¡±

    When Chen An woke up, he saw Ivanov put a delicate small box in front of him. The bear smiled and said, ¡°If you want to know, you can open it and see.¡±

    Chen An took the box which looked like a diamond ring jewelry box and opened it directly. It contained not a ring, but a small microchip. After seeing the chip, a slight surprise look shed in Chen An¡¯s eyes.

    This surprise led to Ivanov¡¯s misunderstanding. He smiled and said, ¡°Is it frustrating to see that there is no diamond ring in it? I¡¯m not going to do that tacky thing, An. Do you remember what I said at the pool this noon? I can double what Lu Feng can give you.¡±

    Secretly suppressed the little excitement in his heart, Chen An closed the box and shook the ring box in his hand. ¡°It has something to do with what you said?¡±

    Just when he was sleeping, he was wondering where Ivanov would put the confidential information. He didn¡¯t expect Ivanov to give it directly to him as soon as he opened his eyes.

    ¡°I remember I said I was selling arms illegally. An, and what you have in your hand is much more valuable than a diamond ring. If I sell this tomorrow, I¡¯ll get a billion dors.¡± Pointing to the ring box in Chen An¡¯s hand, Ivanov came over and sat by the bed, reached out and touched the man¡¯s cheek lightly, and grinned, ¡°This one billion is for you.¡±

    ¡°This is not a small sum.¡± Even if Ivanov was filthy rich, a billion dors would not be a small sum. Was this bear really going to give it to him?

    Chen An never knew that he was so charming that he could get the business he wanted directly from Ivanov. Then why did he go through all the trouble as before.

    ¡°Believe me, you deserve more.¡± As he spoke, Ivanov was getting closer and closer to Chen An, and the desire and lust in his eyes became more and more difficult to suppress.

    Looking at the bearing nearer, Chen An put his hand over his chest and raised his eyebrows. ¡°How do I know if what you said is true or false?¡±

    ¡°Would you like to ept it?¡± Ivanov¡¯s smiling eyes were full of deep meaning. As long as Chen An epted this ring box representing huge interests, it meant that he would really be Ivanov¡¯s man in the future.

 Chapter 82: A Little Romantic (Part I)

    ¡°Why not? You owe me that.¡± Chen An put the ring box beside him. He reached out and touched Ivanov¡¯s face. ¡°I want to see a billion dors in my ount.¡±

    ¡°Well, I don¡¯t mind waiting for another day, but tomorrow evening...¡± Ivanov narrowed his eyes dangerously and sprayed hot air to the man¡¯s earlobe. His voice was low and hoarse. ¡°You know what I want.¡± There was a strong desire in his warning tone.

    If Chen An took the money and did not want to open his legs, Ivanov would probably be transformed from an asionally mad gentleman to a brutal king.

    Chen An had always been challenging Ivanov¡¯s bottom line, but he had never yed too hard. This was because he knew Ivanov well and knew where the bottom line of the fur bear was.

    ying with fire properly could increase Ivanov¡¯s curiosity and desire for him, but if he went too far, he would end up setting himself on fire; but he would push Ivanov into the fire before he went too far.

    ¡°Have dinner with me?¡± Ignoring Ivanov¡¯s warning, Chen said with a smile, ¡°I want to go to the top floor restaurant of the hotel.¡±

    ¡°No problem, honey. I¡¯ll book a table now.¡± Ivanov grabbed the man¡¯s hand and kissed him forcefully. He regarded Chen¡¯s invitation to dinner as apromise of the stubborn man. With that in mind, he seemed to have seen the wonderful scene with Chen in the spacious soft bed tomorrow night.

    A billion of dors, that was not a small sum, but it would be nice if Chen could be willing to stay with him.

    Not to mention reservations, even if Ivanov was asked to reserve the whole restaurant, there was no problem. But Chen An¡¯s words ¡°Are you afraid to be seen with me¡± let Ivanov dispel this idea.

    If Chen An didn¡¯t mind, Ivanov would not mind. Once the rtionship between Chen An and him was exposed, Chen An really could not leave him.

    Ivanov could be regarded as a witty and humorous man. With his handsome appearance, strong body and extraordinary background, if Chen An were a woman, it would be difficult to resist the charm of the bear.

    At dinner, Ivanov talked about many interesting things to amuse Chen An. This dinner was delicious and enjoyable. It could make them forget the unpleasant happenings during the day.

    ¡°I saw many beautiful roses in the sky garden that day.¡± Chen An took the napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth and suddenly said.

    When Ivanov took the hint, he was ready to wave his subordinates to get some fresh roses, Chen An looked at him again and said, ¡°If you picked them in person, I would regard today¡¯s thing in the swimming pool as an overdone joke.¡±

    ¡°Honey, do I look like such azy and unromantic man?¡± Ivanov blew him a big kiss and blinked at Chen An and said, ¡°Wait for me, I¡¯ll be right back.¡± After that, he got up and ran downstairs to the sky garden to pick roses.

    Looking at the bodyguards standing not far away, Chen An enjoyed the night view outside the window while eating dessert. A waiter came to collect the dishes. Chen An smiled and took out a bill from his arms as a tip.

    ¡°Thank you, sir.¡± Ding Sheng looked down at the paper money with the words on it, put the dishes away and turned away.

 Chapter 83: A Little Romantic (Part Two)

    Red roses?

    They were better for coaxing girls. Chen An just found an opportunity to let Ivanov leave for a while so that he could pass the message to Ding Sheng. He didn''t care if Ivanov would reallye back with red roses.

    Slowly sipping coffee, Chen An looked down at the time. Ivanov was gone for almost ten minutes away. Wouldn''t that bear really want to pull up thorny roses from the garden?

    .

    Without warning, the restaurant suddenly plunged into darkness, and all the lights went out in an instant. Chen instinctively grasped the knife on the table.

    Just as he was about to squat down to check the situation, the faint and warm candlelight lit around, one after another, from the position of the door to inside. After dispelling the darkness, Chen An also saw the man holding the red rose, walking towards him step by step from the door.

    Chen An slightly raised his eyebrows and watched Ivanov stride toward him with great grace. Every step Ivanov took, the white candles on both sides of the road would be lit until the restaurant was immersed in the romantic candlelight like shining stars.

    The melodious music lingered in the quiet night, and the several guests before had long been missing. The whole restaurant seemed to be left with them two.

    "To my most beloved, An." Ivanov stood upright and bent down to deliver the fragrant and bright red roses. Every movement was graceful and proper.

    Looking at the red roses still exuding humidity of the sea in front of him, Chen An smiled. Although he asked Ivanov to pick them, it was the first time in his life that he received red roses.

    "For the first time someone sent me flowers." Chen An took over the roses. Perhaps in a hurry of picking, he noticed that it was not ribbon that tied the roses, but a man''s tie.

    As Chen An nced at Ivanov, who had no tie on, as his fingers passed the sea-blue tie tied with roses, the man bent down and held out his hand to him. "Not only I am the first man to send you flowers, but I hope I have the honor of being the first man to invite you to dance."

    "Don''t expect me to dance in ady''s step." Putting the roses aside, Chen An took Ivanov''s hand.

    Ivanov put his arm around the man''s back, almost sticking to Chen An''s chest. His low and maic voice was like the murmur of a devil in the night, attractive and dangerous.

    "Don''t think about anything, just dance."

    His jaw rested on Ivanov''s shoulder, and he smelled the man''s smell of cigar mixed with vodka. Chen An murmured, "Ivanov, what am I to you?"

    "I don''t know." Ivanov didn''t go for sweet talk, and he seldom revealed his true feelings. He probably thought his answer was ridiculous. He couldn''t helpughing in a low voice.

    "It feels unfamiliar and strange, and your questions are interesting," Ivanov stopped and said in low voice, "An, as long as you stay with me, one day I''ll find out what you really mean to me."

    Chen An slightly embraced Ivanov''s broad back, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly in the dark candle light.

    The two men hugged each other tightly and danced gently under the candle light. Ding Sheng in the distance saw this scene and forced himself to turn around so that he would not feel sad and rush out and take Chen An''s hand to leave. He clinched his fists forcefully. He could not let Uncle An sacrifice go in vain. He must take Ivanov at one strike!

 Chapter 84: Not Enough Yet?

    A luxury cruise ship carrying thousands of guests set sail at Singapore Port. With the engine sound rumbling, the cruise ship gradually departed the port and sailed into the embrace of the sea as blue as gemstone.

    A man wearing rimless sses, with a custom suit in light color with pattern, looked gentle and refined. He stood out in the men wearing ck suits. Like a university professor, Chen An adjusted the sses on his nose. He saw through the sses to the man with golden hair talking to people in a distance.

    With the corner of his mouth lifted upward, Chen An walked towards Ivanov with several bodyguards. A blonde man who had been ying with hot girls at the previous moment saw Chen Aning towards him as soon as he turned around. His restless hand immediately moved away from the buttocks of hot girls. He opened his arms and greeted him with great enthusiasm.

    "My dear An, I miss you so much."

    He was even not feeling the slightest disgraceful to say such nauseating words. Facing the bear, Chen An calmly reached out his hand and blocked Ivanov''s warm embrace. "I think you want to die, Ivan."

    Ivanov came to Chen An with a chuckle and a lowugh. He leaned in the man''s ear and lowered his voice. "Not only does big Ivan miss you, but my lovely little Ivan also misses you so much that he wants to have a close contact with you."

    "Be serious." The man pushed the furry bear that stuck to him like a dogskin ster.

    Ivanov took Chen An to a few people who he had just talked with, and introduced Chen An with great pride: "Official introduction to you, Chen An, my man, I hope you can be friends with him, but only friends. If you have more ideas, I will kill you."

    What a strange introduction?

    "I think you know more about the character of this bear than I do. Ivan likes joking so much. It''s nice to meet you." Chen An smiled calmly and generously and shook hands with Ivanov''s friends.

    In this circle, Ivanov belonged to the top of the hierarchy, the top predator of the food chain, and the members at the bottom dared not speak up to Ivanov even if they had veiled criticism.

    Seeing Ivanov''s solemn introduction of Chen An, they naturally were polite to Chen An. Besides, Chen An, an old fox, was very sociable, so soon he was well integrated into the circle which was hard for outsiders to contact.

    When they heard Ivanov''s "My Man", they thought it was just an ordinary person standing beside Ivanov using his body. But Chen''sments and advanced talk about weapons changed people''s views on him instantly.

    "In fact, I''ve recently nned to buy a ne."

    "Mr. Ivan is our old customer. If you want to buy it, I can give you the biggest discount. This is my business card. I''m d to meet you, Mr. Chen."

    A businessman from the United States enthusiastically handed over his business card, a fine gold-stamped business card with the private telephone number of the American businessman on it.

    "I''ll contact you."

    Chen An smiled and epted the business card. Besides the business card of the airne businessman, Chen An also received the business card of other elites from all walks of life one after another. For someone without any background like him, it was a good thing for him to expand his social circle through Ivanov, a top hunter.

    "Let me see how many business cards you have received."

    After a while Ivanov came up again and hummed jealously: "An, you really amazed me. I thought you would look very green in society, but it seems that you are an old hand who can talk to those people so smoothly that I wonder how you were bankrupt in the past andmit suicide."

    The more talents Chen An revealed, the more things Ivanov could smell, but it didn''t matter now.

    Reaching over to Ivanov''s shoulder, Chen An grinned intentionally, and said something confusing in the man''s ear: "If you want to know what kind of man I am, won''t you know it if you take off my clothes one by one?"

    "Em - I''m getting more and more excited to hear that. Ha-ha!"

    ...

    ...

    The cruise was heavily guarded by well-trained bodyguards, and the sea was quiet in the dense night.

    Chen An''s eyes moved back from the window. At night, the sea was ck and nothing could be seen, just like a hell in endless darkness.

    He yed with the ring box in his hand and Ivanov, who was talking to a Middle Eastern man, called his name softly, "An."

    Walking up to him, Ivanov faced Chen An and held the man''s shoulder in both hands. His attentive vision gave people the illusion that Chen An was the only man in the world.

    "I hope the game is over soon."

    Chen An raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

    "I don''t like losing, but that doesn''t mean I''m not afraid of losing."

    "Can you be more straightforward?"

    What literature were the bear ying with?

    "An, I seem to like you a little bit."

    Maybe not just a little.

    The hot eyes were like beasts in the jungle. Ivanov stared closely at the man in front of him, who made him feel uneasy. "It''s a little embarrassing for me to say that, but... I seem to really like you a bit. Let''s end the game."

    "So what are you trying to say?" With his hands in front of his chest, Chen An leaned against the wall behind him.

    "Hey, hey, I''m hurt by your indifferent attitude. I''m telling you so seriously." Ivanov patted Chen An on the shoulder. "Starting from tonight, don''t think about that damn game. Face me seriously with your genuine attitude."

    Chen An meditated for a moment and handed over the ring box in his hand. "Okay."

    Looking at Ivanov turning back, Chen An''s mouth raised an imperceptible slight arc. You would soon see my true attitude.

    With Ivanov''s prestige and reputation in the arms trade circle, Middle Eastern buyers hadn''t examined the chips in the ring box carefully, and even if they did, it was probably hard to see the truth immediately when facing the core technology of weapons they didn''t know.

    After receiving the chips, Middle Eastern buyers transferred money on the spot, and all the billions of dors were remitted to Ivanov''s foreign fund ount for Chen An.

    Behind the rolling figures were huge wealth. Chen An''s smile deepened when he saw that a whole billion dors had been smoothly remitted.

    "Happy cooperation!"

    Ivanov and Middle Eastern buyers shook hands with each other. At that moment, there was a suddenmotion outside the cabin, and there was a strong white light swinging back and forth outside the window.

    "Police!" Someone shouted.

    The whole conference room immediately became chaotic. Theputer involved in the transaction was shot to pieces by the security guards. Ivanov turned around and ran to Chen An. He grabbed the man''s hand and left the conference room with Chen An in big strides, ignoring the Middle East buyer in the chaos.

    "Go!"

    "What happened?" Looking down at Ivanov who was holding his hand tightly, Chen asked softly.

    "Some people want to catch turtles in the jar, but it''s not so easy to catch Ivanov." Ivanov held the man''s hand tightly and grinned as he ran to the deck with Chen An. "Don''t worry, even if I''m dead, you will be okay."

    Probably it was unexpected that Ivanov would say this, Chen Ani was a little stunned.

    "Well, moved? Don''t believe what others say. You''re a man too. You should know that most men''s words are not worthy of believing, but you must believe what Ivanov says."

    Without that little bit of indecent, Ivanov''s blue eyes were full of emotions that suddenly let Chen An see the serious mood.Was this bear serious? Saved him even if he would be dead?

    After leaving the cabin, Ivanov and Chen An went directly to the top deck of the cruise ship under the protection of bodyguards. Under the canopy which was lifted in the night wind was a helicopter.

    Chen An stopped suddenly and Ivanov looked back. He looked at Ivanov and smiled. "I don''t need you to save me, my dear Ivanov."

    "An?" Real regret shed in Ivanov''s eyes.

    Didn''t know when, Chen An took a gun out of his arms and aimed it at Ivanov''s chest. He looked at the bodyguards who pulled out guns one after another beside his eyes. His voice was calm: "Don''t move."

    .

    "You still can''t forgive me, can you?" Ivanov still thought that Chen An had not forgiven his bad joke in the swimming pool that day. He motioned the bodyguard next to him to put down the gun and advised him, "Honey, no matter how much you hate me, shall we leave here first?"

    "Not good."

    "Put the gun down first. It''s not a toy." Being pointed at with a gun by Chen An, Ivanov had to say.

    "This is certainly not a toy, Ivanov." Before the words, Chen An shot Ivanov directly in the leg.

 Chapter 85: Capital with Interest

    The bright red blood burst out, and Ivanov groaned due to the sudden pain and had to bend down.

    He looked up at Chen An who had a calm face. The expression on the man''s face told him that it was not Chen An''s first time to shoot.

    Chen An stretched out his forefinger and shook it gently: "Keep your bodyguard away from me. The next bullet will not hit your leg, but your heart."

    "Honey, you really surprised me!" Every word was uttered heavily with him gnashing his teeth, from which Ivanov''s mood could be imagined now.

    "Look at your present expression, anger, unwillingness and even a little bit of shock and pain. It''s pity that our little Ivan fell in love with a man at the beginning of his love affair. Unfortunately, you are just like a mentally retarded student in kindergarten. You are so clumsy that I want to beat you hard."

    Chen An looked up at the international policeing up from the deck and smiled at Ivanov, who had shed a lot of blood. "Hate me, Ivanov? Keep in mind today''s pain, it will stay with you all your life until you go to hell."

    "You betrayed me..."

    "There''s never been loyalty. Where''s the betrayaling from, Ivan? You''re really silly."

    Ding Sheng, dressed as a ck special police officer, was the first to rush towards Chen An. Chen An''s eyes became less cold and he became nervous and helpless with a gun in his hand.

    .

    "It''s all right." Ding Sheng ordered the people to grab the bodyguards next to him, and he went forward and gently embraced Chen An.

    Seeing this, Ivanov sat on the ground andughed as if he had seen something very funny.

    Ivanov was arrested by Ding Sheng only for possessing guns privately. The Middle East people had managed to shrink.

    Ding Sheng was still busy everywhere. Chen An, as a special "undercover", was given special care by Ding Sheng. He was not brought into the police station, nor was he taken to record confessions.

    "Ivanov has been sent to the United States for surveince and treatment. The bastard hired awyer, but I won''t make him feel good."

    After Ivanov was captured, the group returned to Singapore, and Ding Sheng, who was in charge of the case, had to return to the United States in these two days, but he somewhat was still worried about Chen An.

    "An, don''t you really want to go to America with me?" Ding Sheng asked again. He could give the man good protection if he was around him.

    Ivanov was caught temporarily, but who knew if Ivanov would find another chance to run out.

    "Coming out for months, everything I experienced was like an unreal dream. Now I just want to go home and have a good sleep." Of course, Chen An would not follow Ding Sheng back to the United States.

    Ding Sheng frowned. "But it''s too dangerous. Ivanov won''t let you go easily."

    It could be said that Chen An contributed more than half of the sess in catching Ivanov this time.

    "Don''t worry. Didn''t you give me a new identity? I will leave Shanghai after a period of rest. Ivanov will not find me."

    With Chen An''s unswerving insistence, Ding Sheng had no choice but to give up the idea of letting Chen An return to the United States with him for the time being. He felt very sorry for Chen An because he had to give up his present identity and daily life and had to leave Shanghai.

    Back in his room, Chen An leaned on the bed and took out a small cigarette box from his arms. There was a small chip hidden inside.

    The man picked up the chip and smiled. It seemed that besides the billion dors he had already received, he could sell the real chip.

    As for what Middle Eastern Billionaires would do when they discovered that the chips they received were fake, that would be Ivanov''s problem.

 Chapter 86: Tipsy

    Would an old fox resign himself to adversity at the mercy of others like a soft dough?

    The billion dors Ivanov transferred had already been transferred by Chen Yang before Ding Sheng found out, and the money had settled steadily in Chen An¡¯s pocket.

    The chip Ivanov gave Chen An to hide in the ring box was also changed by Chen An before the transaction. Chen An also used the chip to consolidate his rtionship with the buyer.

    Chen An not only received a huge sum of 2 billion dors, but also gave Ivanov a shot on the leg and temporarily sent Ivanov to prison.

    Was that all?

    For an old fox who believed in the principle of ¡°If a man offends me, he shall have his payback hundredfold¡±, since he had offended Ivanov already, he would go all the way to severely exploit him.

    While Ivanov was now in the United States, after Chen An and Chen Yang bought the ne, they began to buy arms through Ivanov¡¯s rtionship introduced to them. They also used Ivanov¡¯s logistics route that he told to Chen to sell arms to Ivanov¡¯s customers.

    .

    Chen An could almost imagine Ivanov grinding his teeth in anger. He felt happy and rxed when he thought about it.

    Sitting on the balcony drinking low-alcohol champagne, the victorious old fox casually enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Victoria Harbor in Hong Kong.

    Despite the cold wind, the men¡¯s cheeks were still glowing with alcohol.

    An overcoat was draped over Chen An. Chen Yang sat down on the chair next to the man. ¡°Uncle, the weather has cooled recently and the wind is strong. Don¡¯t catch a cold.¡±

    Since Chen An left Shanghai, Chen Yang would not stay in Shanghai. As long as he had money, it was only a simple matter to transfer school from Shanghai to Hong Kong.

    ¡°You still care about me.¡± The man smiled and patted Chen Yang on the back of his hand. This time, he seeded in pitting Ivanov inside and outside, owing a great deal to Chen Yang¡¯s strong support.

    Originally, there were some worries about Chen Yang¡¯s ability to do things well, but now it seemed that Chen Yang was far more capable than he imagined. Chen An felt proud to think that the young man in front of him was cultivated by himself.

    ¡°You are my uncle, I care about you for sure.¡±

    ¡°If I were not your uncle, you would not care about me?¡± Chen An asked casually.

    Chen Yang always said something like ¡°You are my uncle, my family, I care about you and trust you.¡± After listening to more, Chen An was not veryfortable, because after all, he was not really Chen Yang¡¯s family member.

    ¡°What nonsense did uncle say?¡± Chen Yang still smiled as brightly as usual, asfortable as the grass in the spring sunshine.

    Holding Chen An¡¯s hands firmly, Chen Yang looked into the man¡¯s eyes and said, ¡°Chen An, no matter whether you are my uncle or not, whether you are my rtives or not, no matter who you are or what your name is, the man in front of me now is the only person I trust in my life!¡±

    Chen Yang suddenly got serious, which got Chen An stunned. He smiled and reached out to the young man¡¯s head and patted him. ¡°Hey boy! Dare to call my name directly?¡±

    ¡°Chen Yang, anything about the person I asked you to find?¡± Chen An won¡¯t forget his business even when he was joking. He took a sip of champagne on the table and he felt a little dizzy in the blowing night wind.

    Alcohol was one of his weaknesses that he could not ovee at present, but while the body resisted alcohol, the memory of the obsession with alcohol sometimes made Chen An want to drink some.

    Only by Chen Yang¡¯s side, without any worries, could he let himself drunk.

 Chapter 87

    ¡°I found him. As uncle said, that man liked drinking very much. He had more than ten years of arms trading experience. He was a good assistant to the old fox but he was sent to South America when Lu Feng was in power.¡±

    ¡°Drunkard used to...¡± He was dizzy and almost failed to control his mouth to say what should not be said, Chen An stopped his words and looked at Chen Yang.

    Seeing Chen Yang seemed to have no respond, he calmed down slightly and continued, ¡°Now that the drunkard is not entrusted with important post by Lu Feng, which means he is semi-retired, but he is a good expert, especially familiar with the Middle East, you can let him participate in the business of Middle East.¡±

    ¡°But uncle, after all, he used to be Lu Feng¡¯s man. Would it be bad for us?¡±

    ¡°You can rest assured that Lu Feng will not use the person he distrusts.¡±

    The drunkard was a person who was not trusted by Lu Feng.

    The distant lights reflected in the Xiang River turned into blurred shadows. Chen An slowly breathed out, as if he was really drunk.

    ¡°Chen Yang, help me in.¡±

    The man staggered to his feet and naturally leaned on Chen Yang. Chen Yang put his arm around the man¡¯s waist and arm, and took Chen An into the bedroom, who was already drunk.

    ¡°Uncle?¡± Chen Yang called him softly.

    Chen Any on the bed with one hand covering his eyes and forehead, and gave a gentle response, which was not even audible.

    Half kneeling beside the bed, Chen Yang took off Chen An¡¯s shoes and socks, and rubbed his palms gently when his hands covered the cold barefoot feet, trying to make Chen An¡¯s feet warmer.

    The sensitive foot shrank back because of being rubbed. Chen An muttered half-awakened: ¡°Lu Feng, how many times have I told you... Don¡¯t warm them for me...¡±

    His voice got quieter and quieter, and his words got more and more vague, but the first two words were iparably clear into Chen Yang¡¯s ears.

    Lu Feng?

    ¡°Uncle, what did you just call me?¡±

    The man seemed to have fallen asleep and did not respond to Chen Yang¡¯s words.

    ¡°I¡¯m Chen Yang, uncle, I¡¯m Chen Yang...¡±

    Carefully pulling the quilt over the man¡¯s feet, Chen Yang repeated the sentences, then firmly grasped the corner of the quilt, and slowly loosened it.

    .

    With calm and cold eyes fixed on the man who had fallen asleep, Chen Yang muttered, ¡°Whoever you are, you are my uncle.¡±

    He bent down on the man¡¯s forehead and left a light kiss. Chen Yang smiled and reached out to tide his hair. After pulling the quilt over for the man, he turned off the bedroommp and closed the door gently.

    ¡°Good night, uncle.¡±

    A cool night breeze blew the curtains and through the gaps in the curtains, a few lights illuminated the sses the men put on the bedside.

    The man in bed breathed steadily, without warning, and suddenly someone climbed up the window with one hand.

    The ck figure carefully jumped into Chen An¡¯s bedroom and approached quietly. He took out a wet towel sprayed with knockout drops from his arms and gently covered Chen An¡¯s mouth and nose.

    ¡°Target confirmed.¡± The whispering words were pure Russian.

    The night breeze blew, and when the curtains fluttered, the lights fell on the room, leaving the bedroom empty.

    Under the tall building, a ck car headed for the airport in the busy night of Hong Kong.

 Chapter 88: An Isolated Island

    "Team leader, this pair of sses contains a tracker. Ivanov seemed to find Chen An through this."

    In theboratory, Houzi wearing gloves handed the sses they found in the room where Chen An was missing to Ding Sheng next to him.

    "Team leader?" Seeing Ding Sheng just staring at the sses, Houzi sighed in his heart as he saw the leader have a confused and regretful expression for the first time.

    A few days ago, they received the news that Chen An, who was sleeping in the room, disappeared as if he had evaporated from the earth. Although policemen had been dispatched to search everywhere as fast as possible, they were stillte and could not find Chen An.

    From the limited information gathered now, it was almost certain that Chen An was taken away by Ivanov. After all, just yesterday, news came from the United States that Ivanov, who had been convalescing in hospital, had disappeared.

    "If I had stayed with Uncle An, maybe he would not have disappeared..."

    Ding Sheng clenched his fists tightly. If he insisted on taking Chen An to the United States, maybe this would not happen now.

    But was regret useful?

    "Team leader, don''t worry too much. If Ivanov wants to retaliate against Chen An, he can kill him directly. Why bother to take Chen An away? Chen An should not be in danger of life now." Houzi consoled Ding Sheng.

    Of course, Ding Sheng knew that Ivanov would not kill him if he wanted to take Chen An away. But when he thought about what Ivanov would do, Ding Sheng would like to use machine gun to shoot Ivanov into pieces.

    "No matter what it takes, you must save Chen An!"

    The man hit the table with a punch, which knocked everything down.

    ...

    Cool sea breeze blowing, waves from far away beat the coast with white waves.

    Several barefoot children with trouser legs rolled up were chasing and running on the white sandy beach, and the happyughter was mistaken for a paradise away from the noise.

    There were countless inds in the sea, and this was just one of the inds that was private and had not yet been developed.

    The inhabitants of the ind lived a peaceful life. Adults spent their spare time sunning bullets on the ind in addition to enjoying the sunshine and the beach.

    Usually almost no outsiders woulde to the ind, but a few days ago suddenly came a ck-eyed Chinese man. Driven by the curiosity about this man from the East, children would always y at the beach and sneak closer to the man who liked to sleep under the beach tree.

    Although there were always malicious-looking bodyguards around the Eastern man, the ck-haired man always smiled and waved at them, and often gave them choctes to eat.

    The children all liked the man who smiled warmly.

    "The boss ising back!" A blonde naked child sat on the beach and said while chewing on the chocte thrown to him by the man.

    The sleepy man, bathed in the warm sunshine, raised his eyes. "Ivanov?"

    "I don''t know what his name is, but my father calls him boss, and he says the boss wille back today." The child looked excitedly at the ck-haired man. "Every time the bosses back, he brings us lots of delicious food and novelty things!"

    "Do you like hising back?"

    "Yes! Don''t you like hising back? The boss is a good man!"

    Children''s world was so simple, that people with delicious food and interesting things were good people. Kidnapped to the ind, Chen An could only sigh.

    "I need a bottle of wine."

    Chen An suddenly felt that it was good to be drunk. Let him be drunk.

 Chapter 89: Chaos (I)

    When he woke up that day and found himself not in the room but in an airne, Chen An knew he was done.

    He was sent to an ind in the vast sea without handcuffs or shackles. A non-swimmer he was, even if he could swim, he could not leave the ind by swimming.

    "You don''t drink, do you?"

    With a tall and beautiful figure, an angel''s face and bright blonde hair in the sun, even Chen An, who had little interest in women, couldn''t help but have more glimpses at her.

    "Katyusha, thank you."

    A bottle of red wine was ced in front of Chen An by the woman. Chen An opened the bottle and poured the wine into a full ss. After saying thank you, he began to pour it into his mouth.

    "I won''t sympathize with you. In fact, I hate you very much. Although Ivan is essentially a jerk, he is very kind to you, you went so far as to send him to the police station and even hurt him."

    With her hands on her perky chest, Katyusha sat down opposite the man from the East. Even after they had captured Chen An, Ivanov told her not to hurt the cruel man.

    Seeing Chen An, who was just drinking and had no response, she couldn''t help asking, "Don''t you have a little feeling about Ivanov?"

    "What kind of answer do you want me to give you?" The man who had drunk a ss of red wine was already dizzy. Chen An smiled and raised his ss to Katyusha. His eyelids could not stop sinking. "Tell little Ivan I''m waiting for him in the room."

    As the man staggered upstairs with the bottle in hand, Katyusha frowned as she looked at Chen An''s back. During this period, a new arms organization was robbing them of their business. She was not sure these things were rted to Chen An.

    However, there were various signs that Chen An could not get away with it.

    This man really, as the data say, was once just an ordinary person whomitted suicide because of bankruptcy and broken rtionships?

    It looked like two people, two different people.

    Knowing that Ivanov would retaliate when he was caught on an isted ind, Chen An had been very rxed and was not panicked these days.

    If all this was not pretended, Katyusha could only say that this man was very unusual and difficult to deal with.

    Before the golden glow of the sunset spread over the sea, a seane broke through the clouds andnded on the shore of the ind.

    A blonde man in sunsses stepped down from the ne onto his territory.

    "Take me to see him."

    Ivanov thought about many kinds of reactions when he saw Chen An, such as shooting Chen An, tit for tat, but he thought that the man would bleed a lot after got hurt, and it was inconvenient for him to do other things.

    Or, he should just walk straightforward, p in the face of Chen An and shout, "Why did you betray me?"

    But it was too fucking out-dated. It was not those disgusting idol dramas.

    Or stepping on Chen An''s face as a winner and looking down at the man: Did you think you could win from me? Don''t be shameless. I would have enough fun with you on this ind from now on!

    But no matter what Ivanov thought, he could not hide the physical excitement he felt when he saw the man again, which contained anger and some other emotions.

    Ivanov had made up his mind to teach a good lesson to the man who betrayed him, but when Katyusha told him about his bedroom, his anger disappeared.

    In the dark room, Chen An sat barefoot on the bed, still holding a bottle of red wine which he had drunk more than half, narrowing his eyes hard when Ivanov came in because he couldn''t see clearly.

    The drunkenness slightly made the man''s cheeks red, and another man, whose shirt had two unlocked buttons, was alsoid-back and dazed.

    The red wine bottle in Chen An''s hand suddenly fell on the bed. The bright red wine from the mouth of the bottle left an attractive bright red mark on the white bed. The red was dazzling.

 Chapter 90: Chaos (II)

    Ivanov couldn''t help but swallow saliva. He hadn''t touched anybody since the damn game started. Then he was in the United States and was watched by the damn international police and certainly couldn''t possibly do that.

    A certain force in the body had been umted to the apex and couldn''t wait to get released.

    This man, what a damn temptation!

    "You know what I''m going to do, An," Ivanov closed the door behind him, chuckling, taking off his coat and threw it on the floor.

    The man in bed was drunk and looked at the blonde maning towards him step by step with vague and doubtful eyes, as if trying to figure out who he was.

    "I like the way you get drunk." Reaching out and grasping the man''s jaw forcefully, Chen An was forced to look up at him, and Ivanov could not help licking his lips because of the dark pupils filled with obscurity.

    Ivanov felt it a little unreal with his shivering body in his arms. Never had he been so excited and thrilled. A strong man was like a mammoth bear awakened from hibernation, greedy and longing endlessly.

    Ivanov felt a little untrue with the shivering body in his arms. Never had he been so excited and excited. The strong man was like a mammoth bear awakened from hibernation, greedy and longing endlessly.

    Surrounded by this intimate difort, Chen An frowned and suddenly shouted out a person''s name: "Lu Feng... Get out of here..."

    The name was shouted over and over again.

    "Open your eyes and see, I am not Lu Feng!" Ivanov was dazed by jealousy. This damn man had such a rtionship with Lu Feng!

    "Not... Lu Feng?"

    Chen An, who was roared by Ivanov, was in a utter confusion, but he seemed to see a little suppressed jealousy and grief in the eyes of the man who roared at him. It was very like Chang Le...

    "Chang Le, is that you?" Chen An tried to reach out and hug the man in front of him, but his hands were tied to the bedside and could not move.

    Chang Le, don''t be angry... don''t be sad... It was my mistake, I didn''t notice your feelings, if I had known the pressure and struggle in your heart earlier, maybe you would not have died.

    He chuckled, held the man''s waist and raised his jaw slightly. "Chang Le, aren''t you fond of your brother? I can give you everything..."

    "If you want, I''ll give anything to you..."

    "Don''t leave me... Don''t leave your brother alone...."

 Chapter 91: Call me by My Name

    <span><span><span><span>It was not that he had never doubted Chen''s real identity, nor that he thought Chen could deliberately lie when he was drunk. It was just that Ivanov was somewhat surprised to hear Chen''s subconscious murmur at this situation.

    <span><span><span><span>No, not just "somewhat", he was indeed "very very surprised".

    <span><span><span><span>The news from Katyusha confirmed that Chen Chang''an, the old fox, had really died and he was sad for this for several nights. But what was the matter now?

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov stopped, reached out and pinched the man''s jaw in an attempt to see Chen more clearly.

    <span><span><span><span>He even wanted to rub the man''s cheek hard to see if he was wearing a leather mask.

    <span><span><span><span>"Who are you?"

    <span><span><span><span>He lowered his head and kissed the man''s moving Adam''s apple, much more softly than before.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An, who was obviously immersed in his own world, did not answer the questions that Lu Feng had ever asked and that Ivanov had asked again.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An just kept muttering his brother''s name, which made Ivanov feel greatly jealous.

    <span><span><span><span>Who was this man? Whoever he was, there was a lot of time to find the answer of this question slowly. But there was an old Chinese saying, "One half-hour of a night in spring is worth a thousand taels." Ivanov agreed with it very much.

    <span><span><span><span>The thought that this man might be the old fox made the furry bear, who was so excited, even want to explode like a boiled boiler.

    <span><span><span><span>Only one problem was that Chen An unconsciously said other people''s names. It was Chang Le at first, and Lu Feng''s nameter.

    <span><span><span><span>It was like that Lu Feng also upied the man in Ivanov''s position before, bringing the man unspeakable craziness and enjoyment.

    <span><span><span><span>This made Ivanov mad with jealousy. Now he was Ivanov who owned this man. He was Ivanov!

    <span><span><span><span>"Call me by my name! Chen An, call my name! "

    <span><span><span><span>"Lu Feng..."

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov was like a mad fur bear, and even the king of beasts in the jungle could not stop his anger.

    <span><span><span><span>"No! Not that name! Open your eyes and see who I am. Look at me, An. Call me by my name! "

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An felt like he was surrounded by sea water. He could not hear the man''s voice or see his face clearly.

    <span><span><span><span>"My dear, call me by my name, Ivanov, Ivanov..."

 Chapter 92: The Morning Afterâ€¦

    <span><span><span><span>Seemingly hearing Ivanov''s repeated request over and over again, Chen An repeated the man''s words slowly and doubtfully with trembling lips.

    <span><span><span><span>"Ivan...nov..."

    <span><span><span><span>Finally hearing the man mentioning his name, the blonde man was greatly inspired and rewarded him with a hard kiss on Chen An''s cheek.

    <span><span><span><span>"Yes, that''s it. Call me by my name, An, Ivanov!"

    <span><span><span><span>The bear happily untied Chen An''s hands tied to his bed by a tie and held the weak and limp man in his arms.

    <span><span><span><span>"Ivan..."

    <span><span><span><span>The whole person was in Ivanov''s arms, and soft and trembling voice was so close to Ivanov''s ear.

    <span><span><span><span>Only when Chen An''s voice became hoarse and could not called out Ivanov''s name again did the hairy bear finally stop, and the first sunshine in the morning fell through the window on two men who were holding each other tightly.

    <span><span><span><span>If possible, Ivanov wanted to hold the man beside him and sleep forever.

    <span><span><span><span>But after noon, Chen An, who was firmly held in his arms, suddenly coughed a few times, and Ivanov was suddenly awakened by the tremor caused by his cough.

    <span><span><span><span>"Baby..."

    <span><span><span><span>Thinking that Chen An woke up, Ivanov, who was greatly satisfiedst night, seemed to have forgotten how Chen An had treated him before. He called his baby intimately and rubbed the man''s cheek at the same time.

    <span><span><span><span>But why was Chen An''s cheek so hot?

    <span><span><span><span>"Cough!" Chen An coughed again.

    <span><span><span><span>Immediately aware of something wrong, Ivanov shouted, "Katyusha!"

    <span><span><span><span>Too anxious to get dressed, Ivanov put on a casual nightgown and stood at the bedside, holding his hands in front of his chest, looking at the beautiful woman who was attending Chen An.

    <span><span><span><span>"How is him?"

    <span><span><span><span>The blondedy stared back at Ivanov and said, "Boss, did you not clean him upst night?"

    <span><span><span><span>"How to clean up?" Ivanov lookedpletely unknown.

    <span><span><span><span>He was absolutely not green in bed, but he knew absolutely nothing about the details of treating hispanions. He was Ivanov. Everyone who stayed in his bed had no patience and courage to let Ivanov to help cleaning up after doing things.

    <span><span><span><span>As a result, Ivanov only enjoyed the pleasure of ascending to heavenst night. He didn''t know that he had to deal with it after that. He fell asleep with Chen An in his arms.

    <span><span><span><span>Katyusha shook her head and sighed. She knew Ivanov would not do that, but she didn''t expect Ivanov would overreact the next day.

    <span><span><span><span>With her knowledge of Ivanov, if anyone dared to cheat Ivanov out of so much money and gave him a shot, Ivanov had already broken this man into pieces. How could he end up being nervous and anxious after getting intimate with the offender ill ?

    <span><span><span><span>After helping Chen An to deal with it, Katyusha put some medicines on the bedside and told him to let Chen An take them when he woke up.

 Chapter 93: Fall Ill

    <span><span><span><span>"There''s no big problem. The fever has gone down. It looks like he''s doing this for the first time with a man, so his body was not very used to it," Katyusha turned her head and reminded her boss, "Ivan, you went too far yesterday. He can''t stand it. If you don''t want him to suffer more, don''t touch him again this week."

    <span><span><span><span>"One week?!" This hit Ivanov like a thunderbolt. Did he go too farst night? Come on, he was always so fierce. Who knew that An looked so fierce, but in fact he was very weak.

    <span><span><span><span>But...

    <span><span><span><span>Well, for the first time?

    <span><span><span><span>Although he had no virginplex, it sounded veryfortable.

    <span><span><span><span>"If you want to kill him or make him suffer, please do it." Katyusha had been despaired of her nymphomaniac boss. Whether it was a man or a woman, falling in love could make his IQ negative.

    <span><span><span><span>It was not necessary to remind Ivanov how Chen had cheated him into bleeding his wallet and spent several months in hospital. Ivanov might be dizzy, but he won''t be a fool.

    <span><span><span><span>After the fever was brought down, Chen An woke up in the afternoon. Ivanov carefully delivered the medicine by his side. Chen An did not speak. After taking the medicine, he closed his eyes, turned his back to Ivanov and went to sleep.

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov, who wanted to say something, could only choke back countless words painfully.

    <span><span><span><span>"Honey, I know you''re awake. You haven''t eaten for a long time. What do you want to eat? I''ll get it arranged for you."

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov slowly opened the curtain and enjoy the sunshine flowing in. He looked back at a man with half his head hidden in the quilt.

    <span><span><span><span>He had slept all day and all night, and if he still continued to sleep, his head would turn into paste. He sighed softly. Chen An opened the corner of the quilt and tried to sit up slowly, but just had the movement to pull the sore muscles.

    <span><span><span><span>"Let me help you!" At first nce, when Chen An had difficulty getting up, Ivanov was proud of what had happened and ran to help him.

    <span><span><span><span>"Fxxk off." He grabbed the pillow and hit Ivanov directly on the head. Chen An slowly leaned back on the bed and his voice was very dry.

    <span><span><span><span>He nced at the bear standing with pillows in his hands and smiling like sunflowers. He said angrily, "Water."

    <span><span><span><span>"One second, one second."

    <span><span><span><span>With amand, Ivanov immediately brought the cup to Chen''s eyes. Chen was displeased to see the way he was about to glow with contentment.

    <span><span><span><span>The greater the risk, the greater the benefit came with it.

    <span><span><span><span>The greater the benefit, the greater the risk, and if failed, then had to inevitably bear its consequences.

    <span><span><span><span>What Chen An had to endure today was the expected consequence. It was just a little strange for him to wake up and see Ivanov''s changing from a bear to a golden-haired dog.

    <span><span><span><span>With his knowledge of Ivanov, the disgruntled Russian had always been relentless towards the betrayers, and he had thought Ivanov would do something more cruel after he took possession of him, instead of looking for a doctor for him and pouring water for him like this.

    <span><span><span><span>"When did you be so kind, Ivanov?" After drinking water, his throat was feeling better. Chen An put the water cup aside.

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov just smiled and waved to the people outside the house to push the dining car full of all kinds of delicacies in. "Baby, let''s eat first and talk slowly. I don''t know what you want to eat, so I just made some casually."

 Chapter 94: Old Fox

    <span><span><span><span>ncing at all kinds of delicacies ced in front of him, Chen An leaned back and raised his eyebrows at Ivanov. "What''s in it, drugs?"

    <span><span><span><span>There were many ways to control a person, one of which was to make people addicted to drugs. Chen An had used this cruel method for many times, such as the child of politicians named Wang Hao.

    <span><span><span><span>"Baby, am I that bad? Even if I''m so bad, I don''t think I need to tamper the meal with drugs. Isn''t it more convenient to give a shot directly when you''re unconscious?"

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov came smiling, sat down by the bed, picked up his knife and fork, put a sd in his mouth, chewed it, and enjoyed closing his eyes. "Well, it''s delicious."

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An picked up the chopsticks ced in front of him and began to eat. He didn''t need to give himself a hard time, otherwise it was himself, not Ivanov, the furry bear, who would starve.

    <span><span><span><span>Seeing Chen An begin to eat, Ivanov'' became more and more smiling: "Honey, this beautiful sunny morning, how can you keep your face straight? I like your smile very much, and I am fascinated by it at a nce."

    <span><span><span><span>"How did you find me?" Chen An began to regret that he should have shot Ivanov directly in the head at that time, and he would not have to be rendered to this now.

    <span><span><span><span>Damn it! He picked up the knife and fork and plugged it down at the bacon in the dish. The silver fork scratched the porcin dish and made a sharp noise.

    <span><span><span><span>This seemingly outrageous action amused Ivanov very much. Well, Chen An had such a capricious and lovely side.

    <span><span><span><span>"You guess?"

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An looked up and nced at Ivanov coldly. This eye-knife made Ivanovugh embarrassingly. Now it seemed not a wise choice to provoke this man.

    <span><span><span><span>"sses." Ivanov took a sip of his coffee and said somewhat warmly, "Do you remember that your sses were broken in Singapore? Yes, I did it on purpose. I put a miniature tracker in the new sses. I''m smart, right?"

    <span><span><span><span>Sure enough, Chen An once again severely cut half-cooked fried eggs with a knife and fork. When he returned to hometown, he discarded all the clothes he had worn at that time. The only thing he still had on his body was sses.

    <span><span><span><span>If he had not been myopic, he would not have worn sses. If he had not worn sses, he would not have been found by Ivanov. If he hadn''t been found, he would not be trapped on an isted ind and be in pain all over.

    <span><span><span><span>"Fortunately, I did that. Otherwise, I''m afraid I won''t find youter. You''re really a cruel man. My legs still hurt now." Ivanov secretly pped his chest with pride, not to mention how smug he looked.

    <span><span><span><span>Fortunately, he kept an eye on it at that time. Otherwise, there would be no such great pleasure yesterday with Chen An. The taste was still endless to think about now.

    <span><span><span><span>If Katyusha hadn''t reminded him that he couldn''t do that again this week, he would like to throw Chen An down on the table and enjoy the delicious "breakfast".

    <span><span><span><span>"Baby, don''t be so cold to me. You shouted my name warmly all night that night. Come on,ugh, the weather is so beautiful, the scenery is so beautiful, people shouldugh to have a good mood."

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov muttered a lot, Chen An did not even look at him.

    <span><span><span><span>If it was so easy to get frustrated, it was not Ivanov. Big Bear looked at the man with a big grin on his chin. "It''s okay. You don''tugh at me. I''ll give you a smile, baby, the more I see you, the more I like you."

    <span><span><span><span>"Don''t call me baby anymore. I can''t eat anything because it makes me sick."

    <span><span><span><span>"What should I call you, Chen Chang''an or Old Fox?"

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov''s remark brought Chen''s movements to a standstill. He looked up at the bear. Ivanov''s eyes, which were even bluer than the sky, had sharp lights besides a smile.

    <span><span><span><span>Like a sharp knife, which was about to cut Chen An''s protectiveyer.

 Chapter 95: You are Chen Changâ€™an

    <span><span><span><span>"I look like a fox?" Chen An touched his jaw. Although he was calm on the surface, his heart jumped suddenly when he heard Ivanov''s words just now.

    <span><span><span><span>How could Ivanov know that he was Chen Chang''an, or how the bear connected twopletely different people?

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov grinned. Was the old fox beating around the bush with him? But it was a pity, to know what the facts were, he just needed to test him. After all, he didn''t know Chen An''s weakness, but he knew Chen Chang''an, the old fox''s weakness very well.

    <span><span><span><span>"Do you know that I had apetitor named Chen Chang''an before? Baby, he made me lose more money than you did to me. In revenge, I decided not only to dig his grave, but also to dig his brother''s grave." The predator winked at Chen An as he stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth.

    <span><span><span><span>"That was so viinous."

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An suddenly lost his appetite. He put down his knife and fork and nced at Ivanov, who was disgusting.

    <span><span><span><span>"I''ve done a lot of bad things, and I don''t care how many I do," Ivanov wiped his mouth after taking a napkin, but he wanted to see how long Chen An could bear it. He smiled, raised his hand and waved, "Come on, take my phone."

    <span><span><span><span>The servant on the other side immediately sent the phone, and Ivanov took it and began to dial.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An gently grasped the white napkin and said, "Put down the phone."

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov just smiled brightly at the man and said to the microphone after the phone was connected: "Send someone to XX Cemetery, let''s..."

    <span><span><span><span>Regardless of his physical difort, Chen immediately got up and grabbed Ivanov''s mobile phone and threw it directly on the ground. The bodyguards at one side immediately rushed over and pushed Chen back to bed.

    <span><span><span><span>"Hey hey hey, be gentle with my baby." ncing at the broken mobile phone on the ground, Ivanov turned around and said with a smile, "Don''t be so angry, baby, it''s not good for your health."

    <span><span><span><span>"Let go of me!" Chen An shouted slightly with discontent.

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov waved to the bodyguard to release Chen An. When the two bodyguards released their hands, Chen An sat up from the bed. The pain in his body made him inadvertently frown.

    <span><span><span><span>Now the situation was very bad for him. Ivanov was a man who could do whatever he said. The bottom line, morality and principle were all shit for Ivanov.

    <span><span><span><span>This guy looked like an aristocrat, but in fact he was a rascal, a hooligan, a damn rascal!

    <span><span><span><span>"I have someone to dig their grave, anything to do with you?" Ivanov sat down in a chair next to him, holding a cup of coffee in his hand andughing awkwardly.

    <span><span><span><span>"Why do you suspect that I am old fox?"

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An was toozy to y word games with Ivanov. Since he lived in his present identity, he had no intention of living a disguised life.

    <span><span><span><span>Self-willed, free to do what he wanted to do, to live how he wanted to live.

    <span><span><span><span>He was never afraid to reveal his true identity, but did not feel that someone would believe that he was a "dead and resurrected" person in another person.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An''s calm appearance made Ivanov into passivity at once. Ivanov was only a little suspicious and did not dare to believe that such a strange thing would happen.

    <span><span><span><span>"Do you know what you said to me that day when you were drunk?" Ivanov stood up from his chair. He went to Chen An and bent over, looking at the man with one hand at the bedside.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An calmly watched Ivanov until the other side spoke to make his calm eyes ripple.

    <span><span><span><span>"You called Chang Le''s name, and adding everything you carefully arranged, the earth-shaking changes after bankruptcy and suicide, and... And my weird feeling about you, countless clues point to an incredible truth.

    <span><span><span><span>"You are Chen Chang''an."

 Chapter 96: Boss, You Are Ill

    <span><span><span><span>Katyusha found her boss on the edge of a cliff on the ind.

    <span><span><span><span>Golden hair flew freely and brightly by the sea breeze, and the waves wrapped in the sea breeze were beating against the rocks and sshed white sprays.

    <span><span><span><span>"Boss, you are rejected and disappointed in love. Are you going to jump into the sea andmit suicide?" Standing on the cliff and looking at Ivanov from afar, Katyusha cried with her hands across in front of her chest.

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov pointed out his middle finger with his back to Katyusha. Was she joking? Suicide?

    <span><span><span><span>He had only been with Chen An for one day. There was a delicious man waiting for him to enjoy slowly in the ind vi. If he jumped into the sea only because Chen An relentlessly refused, that would make him a fool.

    <span><span><span><span>Nevertheless, Ivanov''s standing here did have something to do with Chen An. He did not expect Chen An to smile and say directly to him: "Yes, I am Chen Chang''an."

    <span><span><span><span>The old fox answered so quickly that Ivanov could hardly react.

    <span><span><span><span>"Katyusha, do you believe that one person will go out of his soul after death and then attach himself to another person?" Ivanov did not tell anyone about his conversation with Chen An that day.

    <span><span><span><span>It was incredible for him to think about it, let alone tell others about it.

    <span><span><span><span>"Boss, do you need me to arrange a psychiatrist for you?" Katyusha asked with great seriousness.

    <span><span><span><span>Sure enough, this kind of words would certainly be regarded as crazy. Ivanov also thought he was crazy. Otherwise, how could he believe what Chen An said?

    <span><span><span><span>"No, give me some chocte."

    <span><span><span><span>With a sigh, Ivanov continued to sit on the edge of the cliff in a daze. It was clear that he had got the man as he wished. It was clear that he was the master of the ind. Why did he always feel led by Chen An?

    <span><span><span><span>"Katyusha." He shouted again.

    <span><span><span><span>"What else, boss?"

    <span><span><span><span>Katyusha had to stop. She was going to get some choctes, some choctes that were too bitter to eat that should fit Ivanov''s mood.

    <span><span><span><span>"Help me arrange the ne... No, let me see. Arrange a boat, "Ivanov jumped up from the rock and looked up at the sun and the sea." I''m going to sail!"

    <span><span><span><span>"Go to sea?" Katyusha really thought Ivanov was mad.

    <span><span><span><span>"Katyusha, do you remember the news you brought back to me, about the old fox?" Ivanov did not look back, and he asked with his back to Katyusha.

    <span><span><span><span>"Of course, he''s dead."

    <span><span><span><span>Katyusha nodded. Not long ago, she got some news from Lu Feng. Chen Chang''an was imprisoned on the ind by Lu Feng for a year before he died.

    <span><span><span><span>The reason given for outsiders was recuperation, but in fact, Chen Chang''an had lost his personal freedom at that time. A fierce and ambitious person finally ended his own life bymitting suicide. It really made people sigh to think about it.

    <span><span><span><span>"Wait, boss, who do you want to go to sea with?" Katyusha seemed to have caught on to some key points.

    <span><span><span><span>"Of course it''s my dear baby." Ivanov grinned. "Only me and him."

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov didn''t know what kind of mentality the old fox had when ending his life. He just had a strong intuition in his heart.

    <span><span><span><span>Whether his baby was Chen Chang''an or Chen An, an old fox or a cat who could scratch people, he did not want to repeat the mistakes of Lu Feng.

    <span><span><span><span>He did not want to see Chen An forced tomit suicide someday.

    <span><span><span><span>The ind surrounded by the sea was like a narrow cage, and the vastest ind was also an ind.

    <span><span><span><span>Outside the ind, the sea was connected with the world, vast and free.

    <span><span><span><span>Maybe he lost the so-called love game at the beginning. Chen An was not a toy to him, but a man who made him unable to be angry with and unable not to care about.

    <span><span><span><span>If this was the reality, he would face it and pursue it bravely.

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov was never a man who would escape from his heart.

 Chapter 97: Cooperation

    <span><span><span><span>"Ivanov''s known houses everywhere we''ve sent people to investigate..."

    <span><span><span><span>"But there''s no news yet, is there?"

    <span><span><span><span>In the living room, Chen Yang looked at Ding Sheng and others coldly. It had been nearly half a month since Chen An disappeared. Every day was like a year for him. He couldn''t sleep every day, now dark circles under his eye were getting heavier.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An disappeared like he had evaporated from the world without any news, and Chen Yang had hoped that Ivanov would call to ask for funds. No matter how much money, as long as Chen An could be exchanged back safely, Chen Yang was willing to pay.

    <span><span><span><span>Even if he had to give up on everything, he wouldn''t hesitate to go back to the time when he were so poor as long as he could find Chen An.

    <span><span><span><span>But since Chen An disappeared, they had no news and Ivanov had not given them any response.

    <span><span><span><span>The world was so big that Ivanov might hide Chen An anywhere. Even if the police controlled a part of Ivanov''s known houses, what about the else they did not know?

    <span><span><span><span>What if Ivanov didn''t hide Chen in his own house?

    <span><span><span><span>Searching for a person in the vast world was like looking for a needle in a haystack, determined but always difficult to find.

    <span><span><span><span>"I''m sorry." Ding Sheng bowed his head. This time, he was no better than Chen Yang. He always thought that Chen An was taken away by Ivanov because of him.

    <span><span><span><span>He even regretted why he had promised Chen An to act as an internal agent. Even if Ivanov was caught, the bastard still had a way to escape thew.

    <span><span><span><span>After escaping from the hospital, Ding Sheng tried to pursue Ivanov, but did not expect to receive orders from the upper ss to stop the pursuit of Ivanov.

    <span><span><span><span>Lost, regretful and powerless, the young international policeman was almost despaired, but he could not give up on it. Chen An had not been found yet.

    <span><span><span><span>No matter what price he paid, he must find Chen An!

    <span><span><span><span>"Sorry? Is it useful that you are apologizing? Can I have my uncle back after you say you are sorry?"

    <span><span><span><span>Chen Yang sneered ironically. While satirizing Ding Sheng and others, he alsoughed at his own ipetence. He said that he wanted to protect Chen An. But what did he do and what could he do?

    <span><span><span><span>That pair of sses, he should have destroyed it, why did he not take this into ount?

    <span><span><span><span>With his face buried between his hands, Chen Yang felt that he was going mad and his heart was as painful as it was about to crack.

    <span><span><span><span>"Team leader!" At this time, the monkey on the side suddenly shouted.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen Yang and Ding Sheng looked at him at the same time. Ding Sheng quickly asked, "What''s wrong? Is there any news about Chen An?"

    <span><span><span><span>"No, but..." Houzi looked at Chen Yang and hesitated.

    <span><span><span><span>"Shoot!" Ding Sheng shouted, now there was nothing to hide from Chen Yang.

    <span><span><span><span>"I, I just received a message," Houzi looked down at his cell phone again, confirmed that it was not a joke or a false news, and then said to Ding Sheng, "Lu Feng wants to cooperate with us."

    <span><span><span><span>"Lu Feng?"

    <span><span><span><span>Ding Sheng and Chen Yang were shocked by the name. Ding Sheng frowned and said, "What does Lu Feng want to cooperate with us for?"

    <span><span><span><span>Chen Yang lowered his eyes, gently clenched his hands into fists and slowly opened them.

    <span><span><span><span>"He said he could help us find Chen An." The monkey scratched his head and was puzzled. "How did this guy know Chen An and want to help us find him? It''s so strange! Would it be a conspiracy?"

    <span><span><span><span>"I don''t care who Lu Feng is, as long as he can find uncle, I would like to cooperate with him." Chen Yang immediately stood up and looked at Ding Sheng. "Whether it''s a conspiracy or a trap, as long as we can find Chen An!"

    <span><span><span><span>He paused for a moment, and said with an unshakable firmness in his voice: "It doesn''t matter if I die."

 Chapter 98: Get Out!

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An slightly raised his eyebrows when a white sailboat appeared in front of him.

    <span><span><span><span>Laid up for two days, Chen An was up and around, and Ivanov, whether he liked it or not, woulde to see him every day in the following week, eating, watching TV, going to the gym, or taking a walk on the ind with him.

    <span><span><span><span>Presumably because the ind seemed so heavily-guarded that Chen An was unable to escape even with wings, Ivanov did not restrict his personal freedom. The bodyguards in his defense would leave him alone as long as Chen An uttered "Don''t follow me".

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An was puzzled by Ivanov''s action, and his perplexity grew when Ivanov took him to the dock after the doctor told him one morning that he recovered from illness.

    <span><span><span><span>"Are you moving your base?" Chen An saw Ivanov jump in a sailboat.

    <span><span><span><span>Things like relocating had happened to him when Lu Feng put him under house arrest. He was rendered unconscious and taken to another ind every three months; even his old subordinates failed to find him out despite their effort.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An believed that Chen Yang and Ding Sheng must be looking for him, and perhaps Ivanov intended to take him off the ind just in case they would trace him.

    <span><span><span><span>"Baby, we aren''t moving, but going on honeymoon at sea." Ivanov winked at Chen An, grinning broadly, and reached out his hand to pull Chen An over, "Go out to sea or stay on the ind¡ª your choice."

    <span><span><span><span>Going on honeymoon at sea?

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An hesitated for a moment and gave Ivanov a p on the hand. Then he jumped in the sailboat which looked quiterge and sauntered along the boat.

    <span><span><span><span>There was a bathroom, a kitchen and two bedrooms in the cabin. Chen An cast a nce inside and found that the boat came soplete with a variety of tools that they would have no problem even if going on an ocean voyage. But why Ivanov took him to the boat? To take him out and go for a trip in case he got bored on the ind?

    <span><span><span><span>While he was pondering, the boat shook gently. Chen An walked out of the cabin and saw the sailboat was going far away from the port and approaching the sea. White waves broke on both sides of the hull, and the wind mixed with the seawater bathed people on board, bringing a smell of sea.

    <span><span><span><span>As far as the eye can see was the great ocean stretching away to meet the sky, and thend behind seemed a phantom as the boat advanced.

    <span><span><span><span>Having been restricted in the ind for too long, Chen An couldn''t help but close his eyes when his clothes was blowing in the cool breeze. It seemed that he could fly like a seagull once he outstretched his arms.

    <span><span><span><span>"You''ve recovered just now. Don''t get in a draught, or you''ll catch a cold. It''s no joke falling ill at sea." Ivanov suddenly hugged Chen from behind and said smiling, "Is that movie like this? What''s the name? Titanic?"

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An could hardly keep his feet when Ivanov gave him a bear-hug. He caught hold of Ivanov''s hand from his waist, saying angrily, "Titanic finally sank, and the hero also died. Plus, take your hand away."

    <span><span><span><span>"Well, if I were him, I would never let you go. I would only live with you, or die with you." Ivanov held Chen An tightly, deliberately kissed the nape of Chen An''s neck and smiled joyfully, "Old Fox, will you have a rtionship with me? You can regard the two billion dors as the bride price and the bullet you gave me as our pledge of love."

    <span><span><span><span>"Get out!"

 Chapter 99: Setting Sail (1)

    <span><span><span><span>Lu Feng was a man of few words. At the opposite extreme, Ivanov tended to air his views without scruple.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An, however, had to hand it to him. If what he had done to Ivanov before, including cheating and sending bullets, happened to Chen An, he would definitely give the guy hell. How could Ivanov be in the mood to set sail with him? There were no bodyguards, no cooks, no servants in the boat-- only he and Ivanov, which meant that everything had to be done by them.

    <span><span><span><span>Fortunately, the sailboat Ivanov, a tycoon, had bought was highly automatic, so there was no need for them to drive in person most of the time, but things like cooking had to be done by themselves.

    <span><span><span><span>"What are you doing?" Chen An saw Ivanov fish several cans out.

    <span><span><span><span>With two cans in his hand, Ivanov gestured at Chen An and asked earnestly, "Baby, would you like canned sardines or canned beef?"

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An felt as though his stomach hurt at once. Bored as he was in the ind, Chen An enjoyed fresh and delicious food the chef carefully prepared every day. Now he was asked to have cans and faced the prospect of eating them over the next days, which Chen An could not in the least endure.

    <span><span><span><span>"Leave them to yourself." Chen An walked straight past Ivanov and entered the kitchen, where he remembered there seemed to be fresh ingredients.

    <span><span><span><span>As expected, Chen An found some vegetables and meat inside, along with a variety of cooking utensils and seasoning. Now that everything was ready for cooking, why should he lower himself to eat cans?

    <span><span><span><span>"Isn''t there food? Put cans aside!" Chen An gave Ivanov a stare, who followed him into the kitchen.

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov shrugged innocently and blurted, "I chopped up no vegetable leaves but someone''s fingers."

    <span><span><span><span>By implication, he was no cooking material.

    <span><span><span><span>"Since you don''t cook, why did you take no chef with us?" Chen An stared at Ivanov as if he had seen an idiot.

    <span><span><span><span>"How could I let others ruin our honeymoon? As to our food," Ivanov pointed to several cans on the deck outside the room, "I''ve prepared enough cans to eat for three months. You can have whichever vor you like!"

    <span><span><span><span>Three¡­ three months?

    <span><span><span><span>If he had known earlier he should have canned food for three months, Chen An would rather not go aboard. He would die on the ind rather than have cans for three months in a row, which was more than terrible.

    <span><span><span><span>"What else are you asking beside a full stomach? Even I can ept it, how could you say no?" Ivanov leaned against the door, arms crossing, and cast a sly nce at Chen An.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An looked back at Ivanov and said, "I''ll cook a meal. Would you like it?"

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov''s eyes lit up immediately.

    <span><span><span><span>"Come and chop the vegetables. Be quick!"

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov ran overpliantly when ''His Majesty'' gave themand. He smiled and moved behind Chen An to watch the man rinse rice, uttering sighs of admiration unceasingly, "You''re good at cooking. Fancy that!"

    <span><span><span><span>"Not everyone is born with a silver spoon in his mouth like you," Chen An signaled to Ivanov as he washed rice, and said, his eyes fixating at potatoes at the corner, "Peel three potatoes and cut them into small pieces."

    <span><span><span><span>"Yes, my baby!"

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov crouched down to wash potatoes while he ran his mouth wildly with Chen An, "Baby, it''s the first time I make a meal. I offer you my precious virgin cooking, and your first sexual encounter is with me. What a perfect match we are! It must be fate."

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An made no reply. He turned around and kicked Ivanov in the chest.

    <span><span><span><span>More than half an hourter, a pot of savory rice with braised potatoes emerged before their eyes. The plump and appetizing rice grains as well as golden potatoes made Ivanov''s mouth water. He clean forgot that there were cans to eat.

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov hurried todle "Chen An''s potato rice" on to his bowl and paid Chen An extravagantpliments with content while he was chewing, "Baby, the meal was absolutely delicious. As a Chinese saying goes, you are really "delivering in the kitchen and in the bedroom."

    <span><span><span><span>"Shut your mouth!"

    <span><span><span><span>Holding his bowl and chopsticks, Chen An walked out of the cabin, "Take two pints of beer out."

    <span><span><span><span>It was a fine day when there asionally urred a few white clouds floating across the sky. The sun shone brightly upon the clear blue sea, where you can see at times unknown fish swimming.

 Chapter 100: Setting Sail (2)

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An seated himself somewhere in the deck. To be frank, he never expected that one day he would sail across a sea as he did now, with nothing to think about and nothing to ponder over. Here he had an opportunity to have a peaceful meal he himself cooked, drink beer and look out to sea.

    <span><span><span><span>Not to mention the fact that the one who kept himpany and who he spent this romantic andfortable time with was Ivanov, the ''hairy bear''.

    <span><span><span><span>"The food you made is really delicious¡ª no kidding."

    <span><span><span><span>Sitting on the deck like Chen An, Ivanov was not so well-dressed and meticulous about his appearance as he was onnd. His sleeves were rolled up to the elbow, and a few light brown dots emerged on his shirt, which were the muddy stains sshed on when he washed the potatoes.

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov gulped down rice and beer as if he had been starving. His willfulness and unkempt appearance even infected Chen An.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An couldn''t helpughing. Ivanov''s manner of eating reminded him what Changle was like when he devoured the meal Chen An cooked.

    <span><span><span><span>"We were adopted and taken to America in childhood. Later Changle kept telling me that he missed the food of our hometown, so I went to learn how to cook them." Chen An was dazzled by the sea-refracted sunlight and took his sses off, putting them aside.

    <span><span><span><span>Hearing Chen An mention Changle again, Ivanov licked his lips, "You''re going to live your life in solitude, aren''t you? Well, I have no idea why you were reborn, but could you please think it over? Maybe it''s due to your lovely little brother who wanted you to live again?"

    <span><span><span><span>Moving closer to Chen An, Ivanov picked beer up and gestured for the man to drink together.

    <span><span><span><span>He drank a mouthful of beer and continued, "Those who wallowed in the past have no future. Since your brother loved you and was willing to die for you, he must hope to see you live well instead of having a hard life and being alone."

    <span><span><span><span>Glib as he was, Ivanov had a far quicker insight and much wider horizons into many things than ordinary people. Although he only said a few words, Chen An was moved a little.

    <span><span><span><span>"Old Fox, you are sometimes more than clever and cunning, but are pretty slow in personal feelings. If you love your brother, you must let him die in peace and stop tormenting yourself."

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An was aware that Ivanov said these words on purpose, and he knew clearly that the ''hairy bear'' intended to make him open his heart. However, he had to admit that Ivanov was right.

    <span><span><span><span>As his beloved younger brother, Changle always cherished a hope that Chang''an could live a happy life.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An simply regretted that he failed to render all his love to his brother.

    <span><span><span><span>So he sought sce in Lu Feng, who bore a close resemnce to Changle. He gave Lu Feng everything except his love.

    <span><span><span><span>In his heart, Changle was the one and only and always had a sole ce in his affections.

    <span><span><span><span>When he pointed his gun at himself, he thought he could finally meet his brother.

    <span><span><span><span>But now he''s still alive.

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov was right. Changle didn''t want him to die and saved his life once again, which probably led to his rebirth.

    <span><span><span><span>Now that he had failed to live up to Changle''s expectations before, this time he couldn''t end his life again.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An sat on the deck looking out to sea until the night closed in, when orange lights fell across the sea and the sky was lurid with the setting sun as though there were mes burning.

    <span><span><span><span>"Baby?"

    <span><span><span><span>No response.

    <span><span><span><span>"An?"

    <span><span><span><span>No response again.

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov crept up to Chen An, crouched down and patted him on the shoulder. The guy put one hand on his forehead and grabbed Ivanov''s hand, saying with a weary sigh, "Take me down."

    <span><span><span><span>The beer bottle was empty. It fell on the deck and rolled to the corner when the sea breeze was blowing.

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov supported Chen An with his hands and took him into the cabin room. The guy was visibly drunk andy on the bed. Ivanov helped to take off his shoes and socks.

    <span><span><span><span>"Are you sleepy, baby?" Sitting by the bed, Ivanov began to unbutton Chen An''s shirt.

    <span><span><span><span>As the clothes unfolded, a bare-chested Chen An leaped out at Ivanov. The hickeys in his chest Ivanov left several days ago were mostly gone, leaving only a few bite marks there. Ivanov reached out and stroked his chest tenderly. Staring at the calm face, he bent and kissed Chen An on the lips, which was soft and beer-scented.

    <span><span><span><span>God knows, Chen An got drunk every time he consumed alcohol, of which Ivanov was overly fond.

    <span><span><span><span>Laying his fingers on Chen An''s waistband, Ivanov broke into a sly smile, "Baby, I don''t expect you to fall in love with me immediately, but I believe your body will love me first."

 Chapter 101: Rainstorm on the Sea (1)

    ¡°Ivanov, you prick, stay away from me!¡±

    The single bed nested in the narrow bedroom amodated two adult men and kept making creaking sound as if it was about to fall apart.

    Chen An was almost awake and restored control with the alcohol in his body evaporating with sweat during sex.

    Besides, the small bed on bumpy ship also shook violently, abruptly shaking Chen An to wake up. Seeing, with bleary eyes, a bear pressing on him doing exercise, Chen An was almost fainted again irritated.

    Thest time he had sex with Ivanov, he was basically in a drunken state and only had a vague impression like a dream, failing to remember what he had done or how he had been pushed around.

    Only when he woke up the next day did he find that he was suffering from severe pain all over. In hindsight, he realized that Ivanov had indeed got intimate with him that night and in a very intense way. However, he still did not have a profound experience.

    ¡¾This is a trimmed version for the sake of releasing ;)¡¿

 Chapter 102: Rainstorm on the Sea (2)

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An had never expected that such intimate contacts between men could bring so strong stimtion. At least when he was with Lu Feng, that bastard had never brought him such unbearable experience.

    <span><span><span><span>Well, maybe it was because Lu Feng was still fresh in that area.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An did not think too much about it, and the hull shook violently again, causing them to fall directly off the bed.

    <span><span><span><span>"That''s enough! Stop it, you madman!" The pain of falling off the bed further restored Chen An''s sanity, but he could not push Ivanov away, who was physically superior.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An was pressed against the wall, unable to hinder Ivanov''s intense and nonstop in and out, gasping for air. He thumped the bear who could not feel fatigue like an electric motor, "Go and see what''s going on!"

    <span><span><span><span>If it were not for the sudden fall, Chen An almost forgot that they were not on the stablend, but on a ship, in the sea where danger lurked everywhere.

    <span><span><span><span>There was only one reason why the hull was shaking so violently, that was, they were caught in a storm. Yet, Ivanov was still sticking to him like glue and not going to withdraw.

    <span><span><span><span>Being fucked so hard, Chen An could only lie on Ivanov''s shoulder and let the hot sweat wet his hair and body. How could this bear know so well about Chen An''s own body better than himself?

    <span><span><span><span>"Babe, babe, I can''t stop."

    <span><span><span><span>Storm? Fuck off!

    <span><span><span><span>This was the first time Ivanov did such a happy thing with this man when he was awake. To stop halfway? No way!

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanovughed carefree and satisfied and Chen An was half awake and half fainted in his arms. Although Chen An stared at him bitterly at the moment, canthus tears pouring out, he could only send out infinite amorous feelings andsting appeal in Ivanov''s eyes.

    <span><span><span><span>This would have no effect except to make Ivanov more unstoppable.

    <span><span><span><span>"The ship... the ship is, um..."

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An did not want to be engulfed by the sea in this posture with Ivanov. He was not afraid of death at all, but he never wanted to be drowned for doing such a thing!

    <span><span><span><span>"Stop, you idiot!"

    <span><span><span><span>It was not easy for him to hold his breath and say the whole sentence. As a result, Ivanov, the asshole, did not listen to him at all, "I refuse!"

    <span><span><span><span>In such a stormy night, the waves were roaring and surging, and a white sailing ship kept rolling up and down in the waves. It was clearly a very dangerous situation, but the two men in the cabin were still desperately hugging each other.

    <span><span><span><span>"I don''t know whether you will love me, old fox..."

    <span><span><span><span>Soft lips nibbled at the earlobe of Chen An. Ivanov whispered in Chen An''s ear with a smile, "It would be nice to die like this, at least you are my man now."

    <span><span><span><span>"Mad..."

    <span><span><span><span>"I love you."

    <span><span><span><span>"Hey, old fox, do you love me?"

    <span><span><span><span>"Get out."

    <span><span><span><span>"Don''t be so heartless," there were signs of recovery in the part that hadn''t withdrawn from Chen An''s body. Ivanov smiled and licked the red earlobe of the man. "Then I will do it all the time until you fall in love with me."

    <span><span><span><span>Seeing Ivanov''s blue eyes with no fear but fanaticism, Chen An suddenly realized that the bear was crazier than anyone else.

 Chapter 103: The Ship was going to sink, idiot!

    The sea was like a child with unpredictable mood. When angry, it brought appalling storm and surging waves, as if the next second was the end of the world.

    When it was happy, the weather was clear and cloudless. Seagulls soared on the sea surface spreading their wings in groups to skim the sapphire-like sea surface and carving out traces of water lines.

    Groups of colorful fish swam happily in the warm seawater, passing in groups under a white sailing ship sometimes. Last night''s storm seemed to be just an unreal fragment in the movie.

    "Tik, tok -"

    With his eyshes quivering gently, Chen An slowly opened his eyes. Sparkling light and water drops made him subconsciously close his eyes again. He tried to move, only to find himself firmly embraced in the arms of a man.

    His head turned slightly. For an instant, Chen An thought he saw an angel with golden hair. Then he took a closer look him. Geez, what kind of angel could be like this man. He was clearly a devil bear from hell.

    Chen An tried to push the man lying on him like an octopus. Ivanov grunted twice and rubbed Chen An''s back with his eyes closed.

    Just as Chen An was about to wake Ivanov up, he suddenly heard something jumping up and making a crash. After looking under the bed, Chen An immediately hit Ivanov in the face with a fist.

    "Get up!"

    "Um... babe..."

    "Damn you, there''s water! The ship was going to sink!"

    "Water... sink?!"

    Without time to get dressed, the two naked men jumped out of bed in a hurry. As soon as their feetnded, they found that the water had soaked their ankles. There were even some fish swimming around in the cabin.

    "Pump the water!"

    "One of the pipes of the water pump is cracked, get me a new one!"

    On that beautiful morning, a white sailing ship was wandering around the sea. asionally, two naked men could be seen running around the deck, either pumping water or checking for holes in the hull.

    After more than an hour''s work, the ship''s hull patched up, the water pump fixed, and the two men were too tired to walk. Since the water in the cabin had not drained, they sat on the deck.

    "Ah-" Ivanovy directly on the deck with his hands and feet open. He tilted his head to look at the man leaning nearby.

    Like him, Chen An did not have time to put on his clothes. His one leg stretched out and the other folded up. The background was blue sky and sea. asionally, white seagulls flew by. The ck hair of the man was silky and clear in the sun and his skin was as shiny as white suet.

    What satisfied him most was that the white suet-like skin had the hickey he leftst night.

    "One more stare and I''ll gouge your eyes." Chen An red at Ivanov. The bear''s sight was strong and direct, making it difficult for Chen An to ignore it.

    "Then you can look at me, I don''t mind." Ivanov immediately sat up from the deck to put up all kinds of posture exaggeratedly like Mr. Bodybuilding in front of Chen An.

    Chen An couldn''t helpughing. He kicked Ivanov directly by one leg and looked at the man fell down, "Are you stupid? You even had the time to shower mest night when the ship was almost flooded?"

    He didn''t pay much attention when he just got up. The moment he sat down, Chen An found his skin was dry, and didn''t have the sticky feeling that he hated.

    The only exnation was that Ivanov showered himst night, but how could this guy remember to do this but fail to look after their ship.

    There was so much water in the cabin, Ivanov should had noticed thatst night. If he got upter today, the two of them would have sunk into the water to feed the fish.

 Chapter 104: Braised Fish in Brown Sauce

    <span><span><span><span>After a short rest, they went back to the cabin and put on their clothes casually. Chen An was in no mood at this point to argue with Ivanov about what happenedst night.

    <span><span><span><span>Afterst night''s storm, besides the broken water pump, the water purifier on board also broke down. The water flowing out of the pipe gave off a salty taste and was no longer drinkable.

    <span><span><span><span>The kitchen was also in a mess at this time. Chen An squatted on the ground and looked at the rice that had been soaked in seawater. He felt a headache. Some vegetables brought here before also scattered all over the floor.

    <span><span><span><span>If Ivanov had not done thatst night, they would not have turned into the bad situation they were now. Chen An turned his head and red at the culprit. While Ivanov was scooping out the fish in the cabin with his trouser leg rolled up and shouted happily at him, "Honey, we are eating fish today!"

    <span><span><span><span>Hearing this, Chen An''s ready-to-outburst anger immediately dispersed by Ivanov. He came out of the kitchen, grabbed the fish still alive in Ivanov''s hand and shouted at him, "Go clean up the kitchen."

    <span><span><span><span>He preferred to cook in a slow pace rather than tidying up a messy kitchen.

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov was humming and wandering around the cabin. There were many ces needed to repair. Fortunately, Ivanov had a lot of experience in mechanical maintenance although he knew nothing about cooking.

    <span><span><span><span>Sitting on the ground tinkering on the seawater purifier, he suddenly heard the sound of a thump bang, Ivanov turned his head to see what happened, only to find Chen An holding a kitchen knife, smashing down toward the fish head with the handle.

    <span><span><span><span>"Oh, the old fox is really ruthless."

    <span><span><span><span>"Mind your own business."

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An skillfully cut open the belly of the fish and pulled out the internal organs. He could no longer remember when hest cooked the fish himself, probably that was two or three years after Chang Le''s death. Maybe one night he did it for Lu Feng who was caught eating secretly the leftovers from the kitchen.

    <span><span><span><span>At that time, Lu Feng was still a teenager in need of a lot nutrition to grow up, but he never told anyone when he felt hungry at night. Instead, he ran to the kitchen to find something to eat, which spotted by Chen An.

    <span><span><span><span>It was the first and the only time he made food for Lu Feng.

    <span><span><span><span>He remembered that he also made a braised fish at that time. Lu Feng filled a bowl of rice and ate the fish and rice with relish. When he looked at Lu Feng, he would always thought of Chang Le, since Chang Le also enjoyed the fish he cooked before.

    <span><span><span><span>Since then, he had not cooked for Lu Feng. In Chen An''s heart, Chang Le was unique and he could be reced by no one. In retrospect, Lu Feng was actually very tired when he was with Chen An.

    <span><span><span><span>"Well, old fox, your fish is not bad."

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov ate with relish. Seeing Ivanov like this, Chen An recalled that night, Lu Feng also ate very happily, with a satisfied smile on his face.

    <span><span><span><span>Since when did he could not see Lu Feng''s smile anymore? It seemed it began with the day Lu Feng identally entering Chang Le''s room and severely beaten by him.

    <span><span><span><span>"Don''t touch anything in this room, I forbid you to approach this room again, get out! Get out of here now!"

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An shouted loudly, he took Lu Feng''s hand and threw the boy out of the room. He still remembered that Lu Feng''s hands were very thin at that time, as if they could be broken with a gentle force.

    <span><span><span><span>Lu Feng''s big eyes stared at him with doubts and fears. Longing for Chen An''s forgiveness, he knelt at the door of the house and did not eat or drink for a long time, finally he passed out.

    <span><span><span><span>After washing the bowl, Ivanov found the man who stole his cigar on the deck. "Babe, I thought you wouldn''t smoke."

    <span><span><span><span>Seeing that Chen An did not respond, he sat down beside the man and put his arms around him, "What are you thinking, old fox?"

    <span><span><span><span>"If you don''t want me to kick you down, take your bear ws off." With the cigar in his finger, Chen An poked Ivanov, who quickly avoided him with a wry smile.

 Chapter 105: Crazy and Stupid

    <span><span><span><span>"Hey, old fox, are you infatuated with the handsome Ivanov with top-level physical strength? Afraid I will abandon you, so you want to destroy my face?" The bear said those cheeky words shamelessly. Seeing that Chen An did not respond, he added, "Hey, don''t embarrass me."

    <span><span><span><span>"You''re thick-skinned and won''t feel embarrassed."

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An leaned against the deck, slowly spit out one mouthful smoke. The scorching sun made his skin slightly ache and the sea was a little scary. All of this made Chen An thought back to the year when he was on the isted ind.

    <span><span><span><span>The difference was that it was not so depressing now.

    <span><span><span><span>"You have enough money and a life to enjoy. If you only want to get satisfaction and revenge from me, you can lock me up on the ind. As long as you want to hide me, no one else will find me for at least two or three years."

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An pointed to the sparkling blue sea. "Why do you want to sail with me? A storm likest night could easily swallow us both."

    <span><span><span><span>They were still alive because of good luck, but luck would run out one day.

    <span><span><span><span>"You know? I had a friend. He was only 32 years old, a billionaire with no dearth of money to spend. Every day, he had countless beautiful women to enjoy. Every day, he immersed himself in games, drinking, and gambling. However, these could no longer excite him or make him feel happy, and then he started taking drugs."

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov took out a cigar, grabbed the cigar scissors beside Chen An, and took out a match to light the cigar. He took a drag on it.

    <span><span><span><span>"He was busy every day, ying from morning till night, and then one day he suddenly died of a heart attack."

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov smiled mockingly, the sea reflected in his eyes setting off the man''s blue eyes more deep and transparent. "Very funny isn''t it? You and I should have seen many poor people in the Middle East and Africa. They are so poor that they do not even have their own bed, but they still live conscientiously every day."

    <span><span><span><span>"Your friend was just a fool." Chen An nudged Ivanov with one elbow. "So what do you want to say? You went out to sea just to have some fun with me?"

    <span><span><span><span>"Hey! I didn''t say that okay? Babe, you should feel ttered I do not even turn a cold shoulder to an old man in his 30s with a 40''s soul. Hey, hey! Do not hit my face. s! You beat me in the face!"

    <span><span><span><span>"Such a thick face won''t be marred by a scar with harder hits"

    <span><span><span><span>Riding on Ivanov, Chen An gave the bear two hard strokes. Then, he stood up and kicked the guy again before sitting back. He looked back at Ivanov who was humming with pain, took the cigar beside him and continued smoking.

    <span><span><span><span>"Why don''t you fight back?"

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An knew very well that with Ivanov''s physique and skill, he was not rivaled to this bear.

    <span><span><span><span>"As a broad-minded man, I am willing to ept my baby''s special pettish attitude towards me. Geez, it really hurts." Burying his face, Ivanov looked at Chen An and suddenlyughed with his mouth wide-opened almost approaching his ears. He smiled more brightly than the sun.

    <span><span><span><span>"Your friend was stupid. But are you crazy now?" What was this idiotughing at?

    <span><span><span><span>"Are you happy, An?" Ivanov smiled triumphantly and without reservation. He took a deep breath with open arms. His face was full of happiness and satisfaction, and he murmured, "I am very happy."

    <span><span><span><span>"At this very moment, there are no luxury houses, no luxury cars, no yachts, and no nes, nothing... but it''s so weird, I feel more satisfied than ever, wow!"

 Chapter 106: Island Adventure (Part 1)

    <span><span><span><span>After a few times of cries of "Whoops", the crazy bear jumped beside Chen An and put his hand on the man''s shoulder, "I like being with you."

    <span><span><span><span>"Fxxk off-"

    <span><span><span><span>"Don''t be so heartless, think about it, my dear, you must know better than I do about the feeling of ending up old and alone, it is rather painful."

    <span><span><span><span>All of a sudden, Ivanov leaned over and kissed Chen An on the face. Then he smiled and said, "I don''t expect you to fall in love with me, nor do I imagine you can be with me every day. If you are tired and feeling lonely, remember toe to me. I, Ivanov''s heart will always be open for you."

    <span><span><span><span>"Don''t be narcissistic." Wiping hard at the spots Ivanov had kissed, Chen An stretched out his hand and pressed his hand directly on the bear''s face. Looking at Ivanov''s clumsy gesture of moving his hands and feet, he immediatelyughed and blurted out, "I''d like to keep you as my pet."

    <span><span><span><span>Rubbing his nose, which was almost squashed by Chen An, Ivanov grinned, "Well, the old fox is a zoophile. What a heavy taste, so kinky."

    <span><span><span><span>"All right, don''t talk nonsense, think about our current situation, have the seawater purifier been repaired?"

    <span><span><span><span>With his hands spread out, Ivanov shrugged his shoulders, "No."

    <span><span><span><span>The answer was really frank. Chen An took a puff of smoke. He looked at the boundless sea that met his eyes, "I don''t want to die with an idiot."

    <span><span><span><span>"I''d love to die with you, babe!" Ivanov let out a cry at the top of his voice, and the seagulls beside him flew in fright.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An''s eyes fell on the seabirds. He narrowed his eyes, "There is a lot of oil leaking and not much water left. Go back to the cabin and see what other equipment is avable. Since there are so many seabirds above the sea, there should bend nearby."

    <span><span><span><span>"By the way, babe, I forgot to tell you the good news."

    <span><span><span><span>"What?" As soon as he said this, Chen An wanted to bite his tongue. He regretted that he had responded to Ivanov.

    <span><span><span><span>"The is broken."

    <span><span><span><span>"What?! You didn''t fucking say it earlier!" His voice rose immediately.

    <span><span><span><span>"Babe, I like the way you swear when you are angry. It''s really sexy!"

    <span><span><span><span>There was not enough water, not enough oil, and the was broken. If they fail to reach the shore or find supplies before they ran out of ammunition and food, they would really die at sea.

    <span><span><span><span>Dreadful storm woulde to sea at any time.

    <span><span><span><span>Even if someone tried to find them, in this vast sea, they would all turn into fossils at the bottom of the sea when they were found.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An was not afraid of death, but this did not mean he was willing to die!

    <span><span><span><span>"Thend closest to us is a small ind. We are lucky. It used to be the Soviet Union''s garrison during World War II. Although all these years have passed, we may be able to find oil and water on it."

 Chapter 107: Island Adventure (Part 2)

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov pointed to the map disyed on theputer screen. Chen An bent down beside him and looked at it. Inadvertently, Ivanov''s eyes nced at the man''s fine waist and well-round buttocks, which were revealed by his bent waist.

    <span><span><span><span>Licked his chapped lips, Ivanov reached out and touched them quietly. Geez, the feeling was really good.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An, with a cold face, flicked a finger at Ivanov''s forehead, "What the hell are in your head, sperms?!"

    <span><span><span><span>"What about having sex all the time until we die if we can''t leave the sea alive?"

    <span><span><span><span>"Die with your right hand."

    <span><span><span><span>"I want your mouth..."

    <span><span><span><span>Before Ivanov''s words were finished, Chen An red at him, "Say it again."

    <span><span><span><span>"Hey, old fox, have someone ever gone down on you?" Licked his lips, Ivanov winked provocatively at the man and said expressively, "I''m thirsty."

    <span><span><span><span>¡­¡­

    <span><span><span><span>¡­¡­

    <span><span><span><span>As the fog gradually dispersed, an ind slowly appeared in their view.

    <span><span><span><span>"We have to find a ce to stop before the sun goes down."

    <span><span><span><span>The sailing ship moved slowly towards the shallow shore. Chen An took a water depth measurement and Ivanov took the helm. If they identally reached shallows, they would run aground.

    <span><span><span><span>Fortunately, Ivanov had rich experience in sailing. The man skillfully anchored the boat in the water and fixed it firmly on the dpidated dock with ropes. It was almost evening when the two finished all this.

    <span><span><span><span>After getting off the ship, they arrived on the ind using a hovercraft. Standing on the shore, they could see from a distance a dpidated building that looked like in the game Resident Evil, surrounded by gloom. Apart from the sound of the sea beating against the shore and the wind, there was only the breathing of the two.

    <span><span><span><span>"During World War II, more than 500 Soviet soldiers died here, while the number for Japanese was 2,000," Ivanov said with open arms and a deep breath. He grinned and looked back at Chen An, who was expressionless standing beside. "Until now, you can still smell rotting corpses."

    <span><span><span><span>"Let''s go, we only have one hour." Chen An looked at the sky, they had to get back to the ship before dark.

    <span><span><span><span>"Hey, old fox, do you remember how you survived, did you go to heaven after death? But I think a bad man like you will definitely go to hell instead of heaven."

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov took a deep breath when he heard his shoes creaking on the ground full of fine stones. The sea was beautiful, but only when he stepped on the ground could he feel down-to-earth.

    <span><span><span><span>"I saw in the movie that all the people who came back from the dead have superpowers. Some can see the dead. What do you see on this ind? Are there piles of bloody guys here?"

    <span><span><span><span>"Yes, there is a headless guy lying on your back." Chen An coldly replied.

    <span><span><span><span>"Oh, I am so scared, baby you must protect me!" Ivanov immediately approaching, cling to Chen An''s arm, the obvious performance traces let Chen An up a goose bumps.

    <span><span><span><span>"Don''t you feel sick of yourself?"

    <span><span><span><span>"Honey, have you forgotten what I did for you on the ship? You are the first man that I ever got down on, you know? For this reason, you have to be responsible for me! Don''t try to abandon me!"

 Chapter 108: Island Adventure (Part 3)

    <span><span><span><span>Along the way, Chen An endured Ivanov''s noisy and crazy speech. Finally, about one kilometer from the coast, they came to the garrison left by the Soviet Union.

    <span><span><span><span>As Ivanov said, the whole ce smelled of decay. The ind was estimated to have had no visitors for decades. It was overgrown with weeds and deserted. The ground was also littered with some scrap metal left behind when the Soviet troops withdrew.

    <span><span><span><span>"Find oil first."

    <span><span><span><span>"I''ll go there, then you go there." Ivanov pointed to two different directions. Shout if any of us have discovery, and don''t go far.

    <span><span><span><span>''Aren''t we supposed to act together?'' Chen An paused slightly, but still said, "Okay."

    <span><span><span><span>If he asked to be together, Ivanov would certainly make fun of him again.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An walked to the right hand side by himself. Not far away were several huge rusty iron cans, which might still contain diesel oil.

    <span><span><span><span>The cool evening wind was blowing and weeds were swaying around his feet. It was too quiet to hear but his own breathing and footsteps.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An looked back in Ivanov''s direction. The hairy bear was running around happily in the distance. The gloomy atmosphere and the history of the ind did not seem to affect him at all.

    <span><span><span><span>It seemed the bear looked thick not only in skin but also in nerves.

    <span><span><span><span>As the distance between them grew, Chen An turned back for the fourth time, but could no longer see him, "Ivan?"

    <span><span><span><span>He shouted softly. Since the distance was so far, the other party certainly could not hear unless Chen An shouted out loud, but that would be a bit embarrassing.

    <span><span><span><span>He had been dead once. What was he afraid of?

    <span><span><span><span>So he turned his head and continued striding toward the direction of the iron can. The eerie silence gave Chen An the illusion that he was the only person on the ind.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An''s palms began to sweat unconsciously. He took a deep breath and tried to rx himself, thinking in his heart that he was not alone, not alone on this damn ind. Ivanov, the noisy bear, was not far away.

    <span><span><span><span>He clearly just hated Ivanov''s voice, but now Chen An found himself missing that idiot''s voice all the more.

    <span><span><span><span>He hated this feeling, as if he was the only one left in the world, surrounded by loneliness, not knowing what to do and where the future lied.

    <span><span><span><span>Death was not terrible. What was terrible was loneliness and despair.

    <span><span><span><span>"Take a look and go back." Chen An took another few deep breaths. After adjusting his state of mind, he simply ran straight past as hard as he could, as if some beasts were chasing behind him.

    <span><span><span><span>Finally ran to the tin, Chen An tried to unscrew the valve, only to find that his hand was shaking violently.

    <span><span><span><span>"Damn it!" He gritted his teeth and unscrewed the valve with force. Soon there was oil flowing out, but before Chen An felt happy, he found something was wrong.

    <span><span><span><span>He stretched out his hand and touched the oil to have a sniff, and found it mixed with water.

 Chapter 109: Island Adventure (Part 4)

    <span><span><span><span>Maybe it was just a trick to blend water by the Soviet Union troops before their withdrawal to avoid their enemies get the diesel oil.

    <span><span><span><span>Well, with no avable diesel oil, he could only go back and tell Ivanov the bad news.

    <span><span><span><span>Although it was a pity for Chen An that the oil could not be used, the thought of going back to find Ivanov relieved him.

    <span><span><span><span>He walked at a faster pace, but there was only weeds and ruins in the bleak cold wind in his vision, and he could not see the damn bear.

    <span><span><span><span>The bear wandered around in front of you every day when he should not appear, but he disappeared without a trace when you needed him, thought Chen An.

    <span><span><span><span>"Ivanov!" Chen An shouted.

    <span><span><span><span>He was surrounded by nothing, and no one answered him.

    <span><span><span><span>"Goo goo goo - goo goo goo -"

    <span><span><span><span>He could not tell what creature was shouting. The setting sun had begun to retract her soft light, and it was getting dark.

    <span><span><span><span>After shouting several times without hearing Ivanov''s response, Chen An gradually became a little bit anxious. Had something happened to that damn bear?

    <span><span><span><span>"Ivan-"

    <span><span><span><span>"Where are you? Answer me when you hear me!"

    <span><span><span><span>He remembered Ivanov wasing this way. Chen An kept looking around as he shouted. The setting sun had touched the sea level as if the next moment it would be swallowed up by the deep sea.

    <span><span><span><span>With the advent of the night, the whole ind was plunged into an eerie atmosphere. Unknown birds flitted across the sky in a low profile, whirring toward the abandoned building.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An''s eyes rested on the deserted building. Would Ivanov run in there?

    <span><span><span><span>He took out his shlight and walked towards the building. In a short time, he came to the entrance of the building. Inside, there was a rotten smell of no one living for a long time. Dust was everywhere. Boots left by former Soviet soldiers fell on the ground askew.

    <span><span><span><span>"Ivan, are you here?" Chen An stood at the door and shouted. His echo came from the empty building.

    <span><span><span><span>"You fucking bear, don''t let me find you, or you''re finished, damn Ivanov!" Thought Chen An in his heart.

    <span><span><span><span>Breathing out a sigh of relief gently, Chen An entered the deserted military building. He used a shlight to shine around, the corner of the room was full of spider webs and dust, the ground filled with broken old furniture.

    <span><span><span><span>"Ivan, have you heard my voice? Answer me when you hear it..."

    <span><span><span><span>He could still only hear his own reply. It sounded like the shabby house was ying games with him and repeating his words.

    <span><span><span><span>More and more cold sweat broke out from his palm and forehead. He hated the feeling that he was the only one in the world. He hated being alone. He hated being alone on this damn ind.

    <span><span><span><span>As his pace became heavier, Chen An suddenly felt a little bit tired. He stopped gradually and sat down on the dusty ground, holding a shlight in one hand and his forehead in the other, as if someone was pinching his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.

    <span><span><span><span>"An-"

    <span><span><span><span>Was it an illusion? He seemed to hear someone calling him.

    <span><span><span><span>"Chen An. Where are you?"

    <span><span><span><span>The rattled voice sounded just like that damn bear.

 Chapter 110: Island Adventure (Part 5)

    <span><span><span><span>As if having caught the only life-saving straw that could take him away from the dark world, Chen An gripped the shlight tightly and shouted at the ce where the sound came, "Ivan..."

    <span><span><span><span>But he did not want to move, he was too tired.

    <span><span><span><span>Hasty footsteps seemed to be closer, and another light source gradually appeared in the dim nearby. When the golden hair still sparkling in the darkness in Chen An''s view, he was relieved as if he had been saved from drowning.

    <span><span><span><span>"You ran¡­" Before the panting man had time to scold, he saw the half-squatting Chen An leaped out at him in an instant.

    <span><span><span><span>When Ivanov was still stunned, the man already hugged him tightly. He held Ivanov as if to integrate him into his body and let the two of them be one.

    <span><span><span><span>"It''s okay. I''m back. I''ll be with you all the time." While feeling very satisfied, Ivanov inevitably felt distressed. He did not expect this seemingly cruel man to have such a fragile inside.

    <span><span><span><span>This reminded him of the night he got intimate with Chen An. The man sobbed and wept under his body, just like a big doll that could be broken at any time.

    <span><span><span><span>"Let''s get out of here, baby, I''ll take you out."

    <span><span><span><span>He patted Chen An on the back to appease him but was surprised to find that Chen An''s palm was a little wet and he broke out in a cold sweat.

    <span><span><span><span>Without saying too much, Ivanov took the shivering man into his arms and strode away from the decaying old building.

    <span><span><span><span>¡­

    <span><span><span><span>¡­

    <span><span><span><span>When Chen An slowly opened his eyes, he had almost been carried by Ivanov to the rubber boat on the shore, at this time, his mood also recovered, he pulled Ivanov''s arm.

    <span><span><span><span>"All right, bring me down."

    <span><span><span><span>"No, I like to hold you like this, it''s what people do when they get married, I''d like to fantasize I''m holding you into the bedroom, haha! Is my physical strength good?"

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov started again, but this time, Chen An felt that this guy''s indecent behavior was not so annoying.

    <span><span><span><span>Thinking about this, he forgot to let Ivanov put him down, or, he was a little afraid of all this being an illusion, afraid of Ivanov did not appear, and he was still the only one to stay in the ruins of the dark.

    <span><span><span><span>Seeing Chen An did not scold him as usual, Ivanov bowed his head and looked at the man in his arms, he saw Chen An was in a daze.

    <span><span><span><span>When Ivanov discovered the abnormality in Chen An, he quickly lowered the man and shook him vigorously, "Old fox, are you scared?"

    <span><span><span><span>"Are you Ivanov?" Chen An said, reaching for Ivanov''s face and saying to himself, "It looks real."

    <span><span><span><span>"Of course I am, dear, don''t frighten me." Ivanov was somewhat worried by Chen An''s reaction.

    <span><span><span><span>"I''m fine," Chen An took a deep breath and asked, "Where have you been?"

    <span><span><span><span>"I found some fresh water stored in this ce, but was mixed with diesel oil, so we had no water to drink. Then I saw some wild strawberries nearby and went to pick some." Ivanov said, lighting up the rubber boat with a shlight. There were indeed some small red strawberries inside.

    <span><span><span><span>As soon as he had finished speaking, Ivanov covered his stomach with pain, and Chen An hit him with a cold face, "Does it hurt?"

    <span><span><span><span>"Er¡­" A bear looked miserable.

    <span><span><span><span>"If you are afraid of pain, remember that you are not allowed to run around. Understand?" Still cannot dispersing his anger, he gave Ivanov several hits in session.

    <span><span><span><span>The impact was much smaller than the bullet he shot at Ivanov in Singapore.

 Chapter 111: Island Adventure (Part 6)

    <span><span><span><span>"Baby, I was wrong. Let''s go home first." Ivanov soon pushed the rubber boat into the water. Looking back, he saw Chen An standing almost behind him.

    <span><span><span><span>In the past, Chen An basically kept a certain distance from him, even on sailboats with limited space.

    <span><span><span><span>"Let''s go." Chen An didn''t seem to notice his own change and hurried to the rubber boat. The tension floating in the air slowly disappeared until both of them returned to the sailing ship.

    <span><span><span><span>Today was toote to get any fresh food. Ivanov nned to open two cans and then use the strawberries he picked. Although he could not cook, he was good at making dessert.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An gave himself a cup of water. Ivanov patted the man on the shoulder, "An, you should go back to your room and rest for a while. I will call you when the food is ready."

    <span><span><span><span>"No, I''ll sit here for a while." Holding the cup in both hands, Chen An seemed still not recover from the tense atmosphere.

    <span><span><span><span>"What were you afraid of?" Ivanov felt that he had touched Chen An''s secret, a weakness that the man had always hidden in his heart.

    <span><span><span><span>"I wasn''t." Stubbornly tilting his head to one side, Chen An did not want to talk about this topic with Ivanov.

    <span><span><span><span>"An, look at yourself. You are nervous, scared, and frightened. You are in cold sweat and even now you are still shaking." Holding the man''s hands tightly, Ivanov watched him and said softly, "I''m worried about you."

    <span><span><span><span>"All right, I''m just a little bit tired. I''''s okay."

    <span><span><span><span>The man was disarming in front of Ivanov, who would lose the chance to discover the inner Chen An.

    <span><span><span><span>If he only ying with other people''s feelings, he would not care about what others were thinking and what weaknesses they had.

    <span><span><span><span>But he cared about Chen An. The longer he got along with this man, the more he cares about him, and the more he cared, the more he wanted to know him.

    <span><span><span><span>"Ann..."

    <span><span><span><span>Looking back on the scenes just now, Ivanov moved aside and gently hugged the man from behind. If it had been before, Chen An would have pushed him away without hesitation, but now the man did not.

    <span><span><span><span>Perhaps this was the crux of the problem.

    <span><span><span><span>"If you hate to say it, let''s just forget it. I will not leave you. I will stay with you all the time."

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An closed his eyes and leaned against Ivanov''s arms. He could feel the bear''s powerful arms, his hot body temperature, and even the smell of the sweat from Ivanov.

    <span><span><span><span>These were all true. He was not alone.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An held Ivanov''s hand tightly around his waist with a strength strong as to crush Ivanov''s hand.

    <span><span><span><span>"Don''t leave me alone..."

 Chapter 112: Unforgettable Past (1)

    <span><span><span><span>"Diesel oil and water are mixed together. Neither of them could be used. Our freshwater reserves are running out and the weather is hot. If we continue like this, we will begin to suffer from dehydration. Tomorrow I will go to the ind to see if there are any rivers or shallow water banks and see if we can catch some fish."

    <span><span><span><span>After dinner, Ivanov put the washed dishes back into the cupboard. Although there was not enough freshwater, fortunately, he brought a lot of wine and soda before this trip. With these, the water reserves couldst for a while.

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov''s heart began to rejoice at the thought that Chen An had to drink for the next few days.

    <span><span><span><span>"I''ll go with you tomorrow morning." Chen An seemed to have recovered. His face was not as pale as moments ago. At least, now he looked no different from usual, quiet and calm. It was hard to imagine he would show fragility and uneasiness.

    <span><span><span><span>They were all tired today and had to get up early tomorrow, soon after dinner, they just returned to their rooms to rest.

    <span><span><span><span>The sailing ship swayed gently with the waves, just like a mother rocking the cradle gently to coax the child to sleep.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An was really envious of the bear next door. Just lying down for a while, he instantly heard the steady and long breathing of Ivanov. Indeed, people with thick nerves slept well.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An tried to calm himself down. With the sound of the waves at night, he slowly closed his eyes. Between dreams and awakenings, he seemed toe to the past that deeply buried in his heart which he refused to recall.

    <span><span><span><span>Fierce gunfire rang out in the dense jungle, and the two sides fell into standoff. Manyrades fell down, leaving only him and Chang Le.

    <span><span><span><span>"No-"

    <span><span><span><span>Apanied by a gunshot, the young man suddenly rushed to his front slowly fell down.

    <span><span><span><span>"Chang Le, Chang Le, hold on, hold on please! I will take you away. I will take you away immediately!"

    <span><span><span><span>Carrying the bleeding young man on his back, he kept running forward. He did not know how long he had been running or where he was going. The sound of gunfire behind him decreased, only the insects in the forest singing could be heard.

    <span><span><span><span>He pressed hard on Chang Le''s wounds, but there were still streams of blood flowing from the gaps of his fingers. Chang Le was lying on the ground looking paler.

    <span><span><span><span>"Brother¡­ I want to go home¡­"

    <span><span><span><span>"Brother will take you home! Chang Le... Chang Le, don''t close your eyes, look at me, don''t leave me please..."

    <span><span><span><span>"Brother, I''ve always wanted to tell you something. If I don''t say it now... there will be no chance..."

    <span><span><span><span>"Chang Le, what do you want to say to me, I''m listening."

    <span><span><span><span>Chang Le held Chen An''s hand tightly, but Chen An found that his hands were getting colder.

    <span><span><span><span>"Brother, I''m sorry... I love you... so much, for all this time. Don''t hate me, okay?"

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An''s tears flowed down at once. He shook his head vigorously. Silly child, how could he hate him? The only one he loved most was his little brother.

    <span><span><span><span>"Chen An, I love you... live your life well."

    <span><span><span><span>"And be happy..."

    <span><span><span><span>His eyes slowly closed, until hisst moment, the corners of the young man''s mouth still hung a faint smile, as long as he could see his brother alive and well, he would die without regret. "Chang Le! Chang Le!"

    <span><span><span><span>"Wake up, could you please wake up! Don''t leave me alone, didn''t you say you love me, Chang Le, wake up, open your eyes and look at me..."

    <span><span><span><span>"Chang Le... don''t leave your brother, don''t frighten me, ok?"

    <span><span><span><span>"We gonna give up the old business, let''s find a ce to your liking, go to the ce where no one knows for us to live a happy life..."

    <span><span><span><span>"Can you answer me? Just give me a response..."

    <span><span><span><span>"Chang Le..."

 Chapter 113: Unforgettable Past (2)

    <span><span><span><span>His voice was hoarse, but he still could not get any response from the young man who had be cold. As if possessed, the man held his younger brother in his arms and kept talking, as if his younger brother had just fallen asleep.

    <span><span><span><span>The night soon came. In this dark and cold world, there was only the sound of insects chirping and the fact that he was unwilling to admit.

    <span><span><span><span>The man had no strength to cry anymore, he sobbed with a hoarse voice. He held his younger brother in his arms, who closed his eyes and never breathed again, spending the long dark night by seconds.

    <span><span><span><span>As if he was the only one left in the world, the only one.

    <span><span><span><span>The person he cared most had left, leaving him alone in this cruel world.

    <span><span><span><span>He could no longer see the dawn, only endless night and despair.

    <span><span><span><span>Chang Le was gone and left him.

    <span><span><span><span>If what he had done was meaningless, what was the meaning of living?

    <span><span><span><span>Had it not been for the sacrifice of Chang Le, he might have pressed the trigger ten years ago in the woods when he aimed his gun at his temple.

    <span><span><span><span>He was so tired, tired of living every day.

    <span><span><span><span>"Wake up! Chen An, wake up!"

    <span><span><span><span>Suddenly a man''s roar broke the dead silence. Chen An''s body was shaking violently. He woke up from his dream and found his eyes were wet like soaked in water.

    <span><span><span><span>He wanted to speak, only to find that he could not speak but choke.

    <span><span><span><span>"It''s a nightmare, just a nightmare. It''s okay, it''s okay..." Ivanov patted the man on the back and said softly, "Cry out if you feel ufortable, don''t suppress yourself, cry out Chen An."

    <span><span><span><span>The man''s emotional unrest in his chest slowly dissipated. He held Ivanov tightly and cried in a low voice like a nervous breakdown. "Don''t leave me alone... don''t leave me... don''t leave me..."

    <span><span><span><span>¡­

    <span><span><span><span>¡­

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov went to the toilet in the middle of the night when he suddenly heard a muffled sob in the bedroom next door. He immediately ran into Chen An''s room when he noticed something was wrong.

    <span><span><span><span>As soon as he entered, he saw Chen An lying on one side in bed, his body curled up into a ball, his hands gripping the quilt tightly like having a nightmare, his mouth constantly making choking sounds, and his face was full of pain and despair.

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov was frightened and hurriedly woke up Chen An.

    <span><span><span><span>"Shall I pour you a ss of water?" Feeing the man in his arms gradually quiet down, Ivanov said softly.Before he got up, Chen An suddenly held him hard. He was all in Ivanov''s arms and his voice was weak, "Don''t go."

    <span><span><span><span>"Old fox, when we get back to shore, I''ll have to take you to the doctor." Ivanov said with a wry smile. Although he liked being held tightly by Chen An, he felt ufortable to see this guy being abnormal like this.With Chen An''s personality, what exactly had this man gone through that he looked like this tonight? There seemed to be only one keyword that can be thought of: Chen Chang Le.

    <span><span><span><span>"I won''t leave, but I have to do something else. Well, you know, I''m not quite a gentleman type who can be immune from your temptation. I want to kiss you, An."

    <span><span><span><span>Being held by Chen An with such dependence, he could not be indifferent. He loved this man named Chen An more than he could imagine.

 Chapter 114: Unforgettable Past (3)

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An did not reply, Ivanov smiled wryly, perhaps now the man did not even know who Ivanov was.

    <span><span><span><span>He gave the man a hard kiss on the forehead. Chen An held him, so he conveniently put his hand into the man''s clothes. Chen An seemed to be not very adapted to this, but in the end he did not stop Ivanov''s action.

    <span><span><span><span>The first time they had intimate contact, Chen An waspletely drunk, the second time, Chen An was half-drunk and half-awake, while the third time, he was finally not drunk.

    <span><span><span><span>Although Ivanov thought that at the time Chen An was not much different from when he was drunk.

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov understood Lu Feng more. Now the old fox at least had a weakness of getting drunk when drinking. He''s got a hollow leg in the past. It was not difficult to get intimate with Chen An. The thing that difficult was to enjoy the sex with this man until the end.

    <span><span><span><span>"I will not leave you. I will always be by your side. Even if you push me away, I wille back." Two men huddled in a narrow bed, cuddling with each other. Ivanov gently kissed the man''s forehead and eyshes still hung with tears, while stripped down Chen An''s pants.

    <span><span><span><span>"Hum-"

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An snorted with uneasy, his hands holding Ivanov. He put his head on the other party''s shoulder and adapt to the strange feeling of being explored.

    <span><span><span><span>"Please bear with it. I don''t want to hurt you, dear."

    <span><span><span><span>In such a quiet atmosphere, Chen An''s intermittent hums could be clearly heard. Ivanov felt that he was slowly entering Chen An''s body. These details shed across his mind vividly as never before. He tightly hugged the man until hepletely upied the man''s body.

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov knew he was being taking advantage of Chen An, but he hugged the man not for the so-called pleasure, or the possessiveness.

    <span><span><span><span>He just wanted to do this to Chen An and wanted this man to be with him.

    <span><span><span><span>After theplete indulgence, Chen An was too tired and fell asleep. Ivanov got up from the bed and helped the man wipe his body clean. Then he wiped the red and swollen eyes of Chen An with a clean towel, his action was cautious and gentle.

    <span><span><span><span>"You make me feel heartache, An."

    <span><span><span><span>He stroked the man''s forehead with his palm, bent down and kissed the corner of Chen An''s eyes. If they didn''t sail to the sea, if they weren''t the only two on board, if they didn''t encounter a storm, if they didn''t separated on the ind...

    <span><span><span><span>If nothing had happened, Ivanov would never have found the pain deeply hidden in Chen An''s heart. He did not know that this normally cold, sharp and cruel man would also have a side that made him want to protect.

    <span><span><span><span>"Did you arrange all this, Chang Le?" Ivanov suddenly smiled. Hey on the bed and held the man in his arms.

    <span><span><span><span>No matter it was fate or other things, he could not let go of this man. He could not let go of this man who made him feel "heartache" for the first time.

 Chapter 115: A Rich Harvest (1)

    <span><span><span><span>Over the years, he had rarely had nightmares. This was the first time he dreamed about what happened that day since his rebirth.

    <span><span><span><span>In the past, when he had nightmares asionally, he would always wake up. There was no one around to take care of him, and he did not want to look for anyone''s care, either. Instead, he would turn on the light, pull out a pack of cigarettes, and smoke one after another. Only when he saw the first ray of sunlight in the morning of the next day did he fall back to sleep wearily.

    <span><span><span><span>"Dear, I have warmed milk for you. Do you want me to bring you breakfast?"

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov''s voice came from outside. Chen An sat on the bed for a moment in a daze. He still remembered what happenedst night. He was conscious at that time and clearly remembered what he and Ivanov had donest night.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An patted his forehead with frustration. He got off the bed and put on his clothes. After washing his face and rinse his mouth, he sat down with Ivanov at the table to share breakfast.

    <span><span><span><span>In addition to milk, there were wild strawberries picked and washed by Ivanov yesterday. After processing, they became candied strawberries, sweet and sour, and delicious with bread.

    <span><span><span><span>"I thought you would beat me this morning." The bear who had eaten his fillst night smiled brightly. He took the bread and tore it in half, smeared strawberry jam in the middle and handed it to the te in front of Chen An.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An didn''t reply. After taking a sip of milk, he picked up the bread.

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov looked at the man smilingly and whispered mysteriously, "I won''t leave you, even if you kick me, I won''t leave, hum¡­"

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An resolutely put the bread in his hand directly into the bear''s mouth.

    <span><span><span><span>After breakfast, they took the rubber dinghy to the ind again. Yesterday, they only looked at it in a hurry. Probably because it waste afternoon, the ind they saw had a ghastly feeling, just like the scene of a horror movie.

    <span><span><span><span>It was day now and the sun was shining. Although the dested building still seemed unsuitable for approaching, the whole ind had lost the depressing atmosphere of yesterday evening.

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov was afraid that Chen An would recall his difort yesterday, so he did not bring him closer to the abandoned military building when they came to the ind. He just picked some wild fruits with Chen An where he found wild strawberries yesterday.

    <span><span><span><span>On their way back, they found that there were many sea urchins on the seashore and they got some without efforts. The two men returned to the sailing ship with wild strawberries and sea urchins.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An cleaned sea urchins on the deck while Ivanov was fishing nearby. If taking no ount of the damage of the seawater purifier and the shortage of diesel oil, in fact, their current life was morefortable than Ivanov''s luxurious life onnd.

    <span><span><span><span>At noon, while eating, Chen An said, "There are many small inds in this area, and the nearest one was a former U.S. air base. U.S. troops began to withdraw three years ago and did not withdrawpletely untilst June. ording to U.S. tradition, they would definitely have left many resources on the ind."

    <span><span><span><span>"I have just checked the diesel oil reserves, which should be enough for us to reach the next ind. If we still cannot find diesel oil by then, we can only try to repair the." Chen An nced at Ivanov. "Any problem?"

 Chapter 116: A Rich Harvest (2)

    <span><span><span><span>The bear shook his head vigorously, "No." His blue eyes looked at Chen An as if he had something to say.

    <span><span><span><span>"I know what you want to ask. Don''t say anything superfluous if you don''t want me to kick you off the boat." Putting down the chopsticks, Chen An turned around and walked to the cab, "Wash the dishes."

    <span><span><span><span>"Me? Again?"

    <span><span><span><span>"Problem?" The man immediately turned around and red at Ivanov, firmly hitting Ivanov in the chest.

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov quickly raised his hands to surrender and smiled obsequiously, "I dare not."

    <span><span><span><span>After lunch, they set sail and Chen An was in charge of the helm. In case of any ident, Ivanov continued to repair the. If they still could not find diesel oil and freshwater on the next ind, they could only rely on sending a distress signal after the repaired.

    <span><span><span><span>Fortunately, for the next few days, the sea was rtively calm and the weather was sunny with no big storms. However, judging from the weather data stored in theirputers, there were frequent air whirls in this area, and it was rtively safe to dock in the absence of resources.

    <span><span><span><span>Except for the abnormality of that day, there was no other anomaly in Chen An.

    <span><span><span><span>Although Ivanov would offer a "bed-warming" service every night, Chen An just kicked him away every time without exception. Ivanov missed that night when Chen An was held in his arms like a big cat.

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov would be mercilessly kicked off once he touched Chen An, let alone to have some healthy sports with him. He seemed to live a life of "the poor wife" rejected by "cruel husband". But when the diesel oil ran out, they finally arrived on the ind.

    <span><span><span><span>¡­

    <span><span><span><span>¡­

    <span><span><span><span>A rubber dinghy was lying quietly on the coral-covered sand beach. Near it were the footprints of two men walking towards the ind.

    <span><span><span><span>The distance from the beach to the U.S. military base was less than two kilometers. This time, theirnding was obviously different from thest one. It was probably that the U.S. military had just withdrawn for more than a year, and the houses disyed in front of them werepletely not as rotten and dpidated as thest one.

    <span><span><span><span>Judging from the appearances, all the houses were as clean and tidy as if there were people living in, but all the houses were locked.

    <span><span><span><span>For Chen An and Ivanov, two men who were familiar with arms,ing to the air base was likeing to their own home. They knew theyout of the whole ce very well.

    <span><span><span><span>"It''s locked." Chen An tried to open the door of the house in front of him, but failed.

    <span><span><span><span>"Let me try." The bear kicked the door directly, but he got nothing but his own scolding on his feet pain.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An endured it without rolling his eyes. Why did Russians always act like this? When confronted with problems, they liked to meet it head-on and always used rough and direct methods.

    <span><span><span><span>"Your leg injury recovered? Go to the other side if you don''t want the pain to recur." Chen An motioned to him with disfavor in his eyes.

    <span><span><span><span>"Dear, I am so touched by your concern." Although his leg injury was all because of Chen An.

    <span><span><span><span>"I just don''t want to take care of you." Chen An squatted down, bowed his head and searched something in the backpack.

    <span><span><span><span>The man''s frank answer made Ivanov very sad. "Do you know where I feel more pain than my leg? It''s my heart! My heart hurts, old fox!"

 Chapter 117: A Rich Harvest (3)

    <span><span><span><span>After seeing what Chen An took out of his backpack, Ivanov''s eye twitched. "Honey, where did you get this?"

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An held a pistol in his hand, banged a few shots towards the door lock, and then kicked the door open easily.

    <span><span><span><span>Dispersing the smoke from the muzzle, Chen An put the gun back and grinned at Ivanov with a malicious smile, "You put this one on the ship."

    <span><span><span><span>As an arms dealer, could Ivanov go to sea unarmed? Of course not. He thought his weapon was well hidden but did not expect it to be found by Chen An long ago.

    <span><span><span><span>At the thought that Chen An had already found the weapon, Ivanov felt a chill in his spine. He was d that they had encountered lots of problems on board the stormy night. Otherwise, he would have been shot dead by the old fox in the middle of the night and thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

    <span><span><span><span>"Hey, honey, wait for me."

    <span><span><span><span>Seeing Chen An had walked in, Ivanov quickly followed up.

    <span><span><span><span>The house was very clean,pletely free from the kind of rags and destion found on abandoned Soviet inds. As Chen An said, rich Americans had a "fine tradition" of leaving a lot of things after arriving at one ce.

    <span><span><span><span>In battlefields such as Afghanistan, American troops would leave behind the bases they had built and arge number of weapons when they withdrew. Although it cost money to re-purchase supplies, it was much lower than the cost of evacuating them.

    <span><span><span><span>This ce evoked the memories of Chen An. In the nies of thest century, he once made a fortune on the weapons left behind by the U.S. army. The guns left behind by them piled up in arge warehouse. So the local people did not sell guns one by one but sold them by weight as selling potatoes.

    <span><span><span><span>"These guys really know how to have fun." Ivanov came to the soldier''s dormitory and found there was not only a whirlpool but also a sauna room in the bathroom.

    <span><span><span><span>In addition, there were all kinds of facilities including gym and entertainment. Several boxes contained clean spare bedding, as well as various cans that had not expired.

    <span><span><span><span>Just like a treasure adventure, Chen An and Ivanov wandered around the base and found all kinds of useful things. Theplete facilities could ensure that the U.S. army could restart as fast as possible when they needed to return this ce.

    <span><span><span><span>"These damned Americans are enjoying the resources of the world."

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov certainly had a strong interest rtionship with the United States, but as a Russian, he hated the United States, who caused the disintegration of the Soviet Union.

    <span><span><span><span>Hearing Ivanov''s incessant curses against the United States, Chen Anughed, "Go and see if there is any diesel."

    <span><span><span><span>This time they were not disappointed. They found arge jar of diesel oil in the room, which was enough to fill their sailing ship. Besides, they also found some bottled purified water. However, it was aborious job to transport all these back to the ship.

    <span><span><span><span>"It''s going to rain. We''lle back tomorrow. Let''s go back to think about how we can transport these supplies tomorrow." Ivanov looked at the overcast sky outside the house. It looked like a storm wasing.

 Chapter 118: Kidnap (1)

    <span><span><span><span>It was not a good choice to stay on a sailing ship when the storm came. Besides, if they were near the coast, they could evacuate quickly even if something unexpected happened. Most importantly, Ivanov did not think Chen An would like to stay in an empty and strange room.

    <span><span><span><span>However, the problem facing them was the rubber dinghy had been found missing when they braved the rain to the shore and nned to return to the sailing ship by it.

    <span><span><span><span>"There''s no sign of dragging here, and I don''t think the waves could push our rubber dinghy into the sea," Ivanov patted the pistol hidden in his clothes. "We are not alone on this ind."

    <span><span><span><span>"Back to base first." Chen An frowned. The sky would soon be dark and the rain was getting heavier. If they could not return to the ship, they may only find a ce to stay first.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An and Ivanov ran back to the U.S. military base. Judging from their previous adventure experience, the doors and windows of the base were tightly closed, and the equipment and supplies seemed to have been untouched. Even if there were people on the ind, they should not have entered the base.

    <span><span><span><span>For the sake of safety, they found an iron chain after entering the base and tied the door damaged by them from the inside to ensure that the people outside could not get in. After they checked each room one by one to make sure that there was no one inside, they packed up their guns.

    <span><span><span><span>"We''re lucky, these cans have not expired. Although we don''t have fish to eat, we won''t be hungry." Ivanov rummaged out several canned beef with several years of shelf life left from the kitchen, as well as some military self-heating food.

    <span><span><span><span>With this food, they could survive for several months. But in Chen An''s words, soldiers in no country liked to eat these because they were really unptable. However, no one could be picky when they were hungry.

    <span><span><span><span>Fortunately, the U.S. military had always had deep pockets. Although these foods were not delicious, they were far from bad. At least at the moment, Ivanov was enjoyed a good time eating chocte.

    <span><span><span><span>They could not figure out who stole their rubber dinghy, either the ind''s aborigines or some other unidentified person. Anyway, it was rtively safe to stay in the base at this stage, but they could not stay there all the time.

    <span><span><span><span>The house they stayed at was like an ordinary person''s home with a kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom, which should be the residence of some senior officer stationed at that time.

    <span><span><span><span>"There is amunicator here. I''ll check if it can be used." Ivanov found a smallmunicator. Although he brought his cell phone when he came, it was soaked in water and broke down on that stormy day.

    <span><span><span><span>Now they were really in a state of istion with the outside world.

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov''s subordinates should also be looking for him, but it was uncertain when those people would find them. Sitting idle and waiting for help had always been thest option for people like Chen An and Ivanov.

    <span><span><span><span>"Let me have a look." Chen An sat on the bed and dealt with the.

    <span><span><span><span>The night soon came. Ivanov found a candle. The faint candlelight brought some warmth. Rainstorms outside the house kept pounding on the windows.

 Chapter 119: Kidnap (2)

    <span><span><span><span>"It''s no use without electricity." Chen An shook his head and threw the aside. He looked out of the window and saw nothing in the dark.

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov patted the bedding alreadyid beside him, "We can only think of ways tomorrow, An, you sleep first and I will be the night watch." His alertness did not allow him to sleep like this. In this strange ce, it was safer to have one person in charge of the vigil.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An did not refuse. After all, he did not like the feeling of being awake alone at night. "Remember to wake me up in the middle of the night, and then you can also have some rest." Hey down beside Ivanov and closed his eyes.

    <span><span><span><span>"You can rest your head on myps..." Ivanov whispered. He wasn''t sure if Chen An was really asleep or pretend not to hear, he had no response.

    <span><span><span><span>Caressing the man''s hair gently, Ivanov put his gun on the side against the head of a bed. The faint light set off Chen An''s face more gentle, so Ivanov could not turn his eyes away but keep looking at it.

    <span><span><span><span>Then, after midnight, his head tilted, eyes closed and fell asleep.

    <span><span><span><span>A stream of white smoke drifted slowly into the room through a crack in the window, and the rain outside was still falling.

    <span><span><span><span>¡­

    <span><span><span><span>¡­

    <span><span><span><span>"I''m sorry, dear." Ivanov shrugged his shoulders and said brazenly, "Forgive me, you look so charming when you sleep. I''m fascinated, baby."

    <span><span><span><span>"It is a miracle that you have lived to this day."

    <span><span><span><span>If it weren''t for his hands and feet were tied up, Chen An would like to kick Ivanov to death. He shouldn''t have ced his hope on this muddleheaded bear. The result of Ivanov''s vigil was that the two of them were tied up.

    <span><span><span><span>When he woke up, Chen An felt a little bit dizzy. He looked around and found that the ce where they were located was not the room in the previous base, but a somewhat shabby wooden house. He was sure thatst night he and Ivanov were drugged without any notice and were then taken to this ce.

    <span><span><span><span>He had thought it was the thieves or aborigines on the ind who did it, but the fact that they actually used drugs and escaped Ivanov''s awareness showed the ones who stole their rubber dinghy were not ordinary people.

    <span><span><span><span>"Is it your enemy?" Chen An could only think of this answer. Although Ivanov was still wanted by the Interpol, if it were Ding Sheng, he would not use this dirty method.

    <span><span><span><span>"Dear, how can I have so many enemies?" Ivanov immediately firmly denied that they were caught because of him.

    <span><span><span><span>Just as the two were talking, the door of the room was opened from the outside. The sudden sunlight made Chen An and Ivanov squint at the same time. Under the backlighting, they could vaguely see the outline of a young man in a suit.

    <span><span><span><span>What was absolutely certain now was that they were not kidnapped by the aborigines on the ind.

    <span><span><span><span>"Wow, this is a beautiful Asian guy." Ivanov whistled frivolously at the maning forward.

    <span><span><span><span>As the one approached, Chen An could see more clearly the appearance of the young man, who was actually a Chinese. He seemed like just in his mid-20s with a handsome face and looked like an idol star.

 Chapter 120: Kidnap (3)

    <span><span><span><span>"Mr. Ivanov, first of all, I''d like to ask your forgiveness for our recklessness. I didn''t mean to offend you, but not long ago you offended my boss. I was just ordered to finish my task. I hope you can understand."

    <span><span><span><span>Speaking fluent Russian, the young man looked indifferent. When talking to Ivanov, he gave Chen An a slight look, but apparently, the young man didn''t put Chen An in his eyes and didn''t pay much attention to him after one look.

    <span><span><span><span>"Well, you are very polite, so who is your boss?" Ivanov tut. Well, looking for revenge, this old fox had a good guess.

    <span><span><span><span>"Prince Hae." The young man didn''t hide and said directly.

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov immediatelyughed. Of course, he knew the Prince Hae. Wasn''t him the Middle East tycoon who did business with Ivanov and nned to buy weapons and technology from Ivanov?

    <span><span><span><span>Although he received a billion U.S. dors from the Prince Hae, he gave the other party a fake chip because of Chen An and had not returned the money to him.

    <span><span><span><span>To be honest, Ivanov was actually going to escape the debt. But one billion U.S. dors was not a small sum, it seemed that his actions had made the Prince Hae somewhat angry and ordered someone to look for him directly.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An remained silent as if everything had nothing to do with him.

    <span><span><span><span>"I think you should know my boss. My boss doesn''t want to hurt Mr. Ivanov. He just wants to get the goods he deserves and the real chip," paused, the young man added, "as well as the $2 billionpensation due to your breach."

    <span><span><span><span>Wait, did he hear it right? What did the bloody Middle Eastern camel man want, two billion dors inpensation and the chip?

    <span><span><span><span>"Do you think this is appropriate?" Ivanov really wanted tough out loudly. What was prince Hae''s head filled with, oil or dung, to ckmail him?

    <span><span><span><span>The young man still looked calm and said, "Mr. Ivanov''s life must worth more than 2 billion dors."

    <span><span><span><span>This was clearly a threat.

    <span><span><span><span>"Kill me and your boss will not get any good results, believe me," Ivanov would not be so easily frightened. Even if the bear from the north was tied to the ground, he would not lose his imposing manner. "I was also the victim of thest transaction, okay?"

    <span><span><span><span>"But you can tell Hae that I can give him back the one billion dors, and I''ll take what happened today as if it didn''t happen. We''re even, and we can do business in the future."

    <span><span><span><span>"I''ll tell my boss." The young man winked at outside. Soon two men came in to help Chen An and Ivanov untie.

    <span><span><span><span>"I can''t think of Hae have such outstanding staffs like you," Ivanov, who was untied, asked, "What''s your name, friend?"

    <span><span><span><span>"Mr. Ivanov, you can call me Ouyang Bai Sha." The young man still looked indifferent.

    <span><span><span><span>"Before the boss replies, please take a rest in the room for a while and don''t try to escape. My men are not so reasonable as I am."

    <span><span><span><span>After that, Ouyang Bai Sha turned and left the house. Without taking two steps, his cell phone rang. He took out his cell phone to receive the phone call from a person called Lu Feng.

 Chapter 121: The Uninvited Guest Turns out to be Him (1)

    <span><span><span><span>"I said it was your enemy who came for revenge."

    <span><span><span><span>Wriggling his sore wrist just released from the tight rope, Chen An wandered around in the log cabin. The room was empty with only a bed ced in the middle. There was a small door on the right side of the bed head. After opening it, a in toilet appeared. There was nothing useful for them.

    <span><span><span><span>"Dear, you just heard what the man named Ouyang Bai Sha was saying. He came for his boss Prince Hae. If that guy knew that you took the chip and sold it to others, do you think the Prince would let you go?"

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov followed behind Chen An. Looking at the man bent down to check the bed head, he grinned, stretched out his hand and ran towards the other party, directly hugged the man''s waist from back and pushed the man down on the bed.

    <span><span><span><span>"What''re you doing? Only animals would be in heat regardless of timing and asion!" Chen An threw an elbow on Ivanov''s chest heavily and almost let Ivanov faint.

    <span><span><span><span>"Please be gentle, you are murdering your husband! Baby, am I a man worthy of your trust? If I had told Ouyang Bai Sha the truth and put all the me on you, I could have left safely and you would have been miserable."

    <span><span><span><span>Taking advantage of his physical strength, Ivanov pressed Chen An almost to death on the bed. He did not dare to be too presumptuous. He leaned close to the man and kissed his back neck,ughing in a low voice, "Are you tempted by me?"

    <span><span><span><span>"I don''t know which stupid bear who was supposed to perform night watch ended up being druggedst night and passed out like a pig." It would be strange if Chen An believed Ivanov, thetter even did not think why they ended up being here.

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov smiled awkwardly, "You bad, my dear. Why do you like to poke people in the sore spot so much? Last night you were just so cute when you fell asleep. I stared at you and got lost in a daze!"

    <span><span><span><span>"Be normal." Chen An''s back neck was tickled and could not bear it. A sly gleam shed in his eyes and he sighed, "Are we going to die here?"

    <span><span><span><span>"Hey, don''t say such discouraging thing, you''re an old fox!"

    <span><span><span><span>"Ivan..." Chen An''s suddenly affectionate call made the bear feel limp and numb all over.

    <span><span><span><span>"Well, my dear, I''m here. You know? I''ll always be with you." Ivanov followed Chen An''s words and began to confide deeply.

    <span><span><span><span>With his corner of the mouth slightly raised, he showed a smile, Chen An slowly turned around in the other party''s loose imprison of arms, his hands slowly climbed to Ivanov''s shoulders, and his lips slightly opened like he was about to kiss Ivanov.

    <span><span><span><span>This abstinence and sexually-charged expression let Ivanov''s heart immediately poured with boiling oil, he had no intention to be in heat all the time, but he just could not help it as long as he saw Chen An.

    <span><span><span><span>Since Chen An didn''t care at all the things happened during that stormy day, Ivanov continued his temptation. He just wanted to do something intimate with Chen An.

    <span><span><span><span>"Ouch, uh-"

    <span><span><span><span>With a bitter cry of pain, Ivanov clutched his cheek, rolling under the bed. His face was full of tears and the feeling of injustice. Chen An used the honey trap to him and then took the opportunity to threw him a punch. At the moment he was triumphant, condescendingly looked at his bad boy."Old fox, you sly man." Ivanov took a deep breath in pain. Chen An really did not take pity on him at all. "Oh, no, my face isn''t distorted, is it?"

    <span><span><span><span>"I am giving you stic surgery." Two legs crossed sitting on the bed, Chen An rubbed his own hurting hand, damn it, this bear not only had a thick skin, but even his bones were also very hard.

    <span><span><span><span>"It is natural that a young man like me, who is naturally beautiful, handsome, humorous and charming, will make you have butterflies in your stomach. I understand, but don''t worry, my dear, I am not a man who would forsake you after having dallied with you."

 Chapter 122: The Uninvited Guest Turns out to be Him (2)

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov, who was punched, was much more well-behaved. Although he still talked nonsense, he did not do anything out of line.

    <span><span><span><span>"You are the one who should be worried." Where did the bear''s confidencee from? Chen An added rudely.

    <span><span><span><span>"I''m very sad to hear you say that, baby." With a yawn, Ivanov fell to the bed and closed his eyes with his hands resting behind his head.

    <span><span><span><span>Having not heard Chen An''s reply, the bear opened a crack in his eye and looked at the man nearby secretly, "Don''t you have a rest? Don''t worry, they won''t attack us for a while or dare not attack us."

    <span><span><span><span>"Sleep on your own."

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An sat down against the bed head, holding his chin with one hand and not knowing what he was thinking. Soon he heard Ivanov breathing steadily and continuously.

    <span><span><span><span>Was the bear really asleep?

    <span><span><span><span>"Ivanov?" Chen An shouted, and the bear mumbled without waking up.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An''s eyes twitched slightly. The bear slept so well. He was really unreliable. This guy would not wake up for a while.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An''s eyes fixed on the bathroom next to the bed. Although it was a bit crude, it seemed that there should be no problem to take a bath. He hadn''t taken a bath for two days. It was really a torture for the old fox who kept a clean habit.

    <span><span><span><span>He came to the bathroom softly and tried to turn on the tap. There was actually water flowing out. He checked the temperature of the water. The water flowing out was cool at first, but it soon gained some temperature after a while. It seemed that this wooden house should be inhabited at ordinary times.

    <span><span><span><span>Looking into the room, he saw Ivanov was still asleep. Chen An took off his clothes and turned into the bathroom to turn off the unlocked bathroom door.

    <span><span><span><span>¡­

    <span><span><span><span>¡­

    <span><span><span><span>When the hot water fell from the shower head, Chen An took a deep breath and felt that the pores of his whole body had been relieved and he felt unspeakablyfortable.

    <span><span><span><span>He looked up and let the hot water wet his hair, cheeks, and body. He calmed down and began to think about how to escape from the current predicament.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An knew Prince Hae was a somewhat self-righteous Middle Eastern bumpkin who always thought that money could solve any problem. Though many problems could be solved with money, Ivanov was never a softie...

    <span><span><span><span>"Bang-" The bathroom door was suddenly opened, and a man suddenly reached out and hugged Chen An, who was still in the shower. There was only one bear in the room except for Chen An.

    <span><span><span><span>"Ivanov!" There was water in his eyes, and Chen An could not open his eyes. He could only vaguely see a blond maning up to him and kissing him.

    <span><span><span><span>"Baby, I like you call my name!"

    <span><span><span><span>It was Ivanov, the bear. Being suddenly attacked, Chen An was at a disadvantage. Hot water kept falling from the top of their heads, wetting their bodies and hair.When Ivanov''s palm reaching toward him, Chen An had a little quiver, like the character in martial arts novels who was stationary due to being attacked the vital point. His feet felt limp and numb.Damn it, this guy already knew where his sensitive points were.

    <span><span><span><span>"I love you, Chen An... I love you..."

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov kept muttering cause the naked man in his arms looked so delicious. He didn''t care if he was now a prisoner or not, he would definitely do what he wanted to do. He had never wronged himself, never.

    <span><span><span><span>"Is your brain all filled with sperms? Or was it that you have seen too much Animal? Why are you always in heat like an animal?"

 Chapter 123: The Uninvited Guest Turns out to be Him (3)

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An deeply felt that it was not him but Ivanov who should go to see a doctor after leaving here, , the bear who was in heat all the time.

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov had taken advantage of situations several times. He could do as his pleasures when Chen An was drunk. But the man was not easy to be forced without drunkenness.

    <span><span><span><span>Two men who refused to back down turned all the way from the narrow bathroom to the bed of the cabin in the back-and-forth attack and defense war where you kissed me and I hid.

    <span><span><span><span>Although it was not easy for Chen An to submit, it was also difficult for him to overthrow Ivanov head-on. At that time, the two were equally matched, and they simply scuffled on the bed, which seemed to be "fierce fighting".

    <span><span><span><span>Just as Chen An was pressed on the bed by the triumphant Ivanov, and his hands were tearing Ivanov''s cor for a counterattack, suddenly with a "bang," the wooden door opened.

    <span><span><span><span>With a gust of cool wind blowing in, several people outside the door frozepletely.

    <span><span><span><span>"Fuck!" Ivanov could not help but swear out, he grabbed one side of the sheet, and hurriedly wrapped Chen An into a dumpling. He could not let the other men see Chen An in nude.

    <span><span><span><span>Didn''t Ouyang Bai Sha just leave? Why did hee back so soon?

    <span><span><span><span>Ouyang Bai Sha, who was standing at the door, paused when he saw the two men "fighting" together in the room, but he soon regained calm, "I''m sorry to disturb you two, but someone wants to see you."

    <span><span><span><span>When he said this, Ouyang Bai Sha took one look at Chen An, who was pressed by Ivanov, and his eyes were obviously confused and showed a slight disgust.

    <span><span><span><span>Bad things all happened to him, Chen An closed his eyes, thinking it was a wise choice to shoot a bullet at Ivanov.

    <span><span><span><span>Being blocked by Ivanov, Chen An knew Ouyang Bai Sha did note alone, but he could not see who was standing at the door. His sses were thrown away at the moment.

    <span><span><span><span>"Is it you?!" Ivanov was the first to see the man standing at the door. He uttered a voice of surprise, not a disguised surprise.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An tilted his head and tried to see who was the man at the door. Who could make Ivanov, an insensitive guy, so surprised? Although he could not see clearly, when the other side spoke, Chen An was as surprised as Ivanov.

    <span><span><span><span>"Put your clothes on."

    <span><span><span><span>After the man said this, the wooden door was closed again.

    <span><span><span><span>Even if he could not see the man''s appearance, Chen An knew who he was as soon as hearing this voice. He couldn''t help having a wry smile. Theer was Lu Feng. It was embarrassed to let him see all this mess.

    <span><span><span><span>"Get out of here!" The culprit was this bear. Chen An kicked Ivanov away, picked up the clothes next to him and put them on.

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov touched the back of his head, sitting behind Chen An, and frowned. He didn''t expect Lu Feng toe.

    <span><span><span><span>It seemed that Lu Feng had something to do with their kidnappers. He was the only one who knew all the ins and outs of Chen An and was a man who wanted to possess Chen An, so Ivanov did not like Lu Feng at all due to his emotional entanglements with the old fox.

    <span><span><span><span>In particr, when he and Chen An had sex for the first time, the old fox called out Lu Feng''s name more than once, which made Ivanov quite jealous.

    <span><span><span><span>Sitting on the bed and putting on his shoes, Ivanov adjusted his hair. He looked back at Chen An''s silent figure, a glimmer appeared in his eyes.

 Chapter 124: A Joyous Gathering (1)

    <span><span><span><span>The sky outside the log cabin was gloomy. On that grey day, there was not a bit of blue, and it was raining incessantly. Two men were standing under the eaves.

    <span><span><span><span>Ouyang Bai Sha looked aside at the grim-faced man. A faint andplicated look shed through the depths of the man''s indifferent dark brown pupils. "You have already seen the man. No matter what the feud between you and Ivanov is, the problem between him and Hae has not been solved. I will not give him to you."

    <span><span><span><span>Although his voice still sounded indifferent, his tone was much softer than that of Ivanov''s.

    <span><span><span><span>"Mmm." The reticent man just gave a simple reply. Lu Feng watched the rain falling from the sky to the ground. His eyes were calm, making people unable to see any emotion.

    <span><span><span><span>Ouyang Bai Sha frowned and his voice was slightly emotional. He asked, "Are you not here for Ivanov?"

    <span><span><span><span>Lu Feng''s eyes dulled for a moment. His failure to answer this question was already a reply.

    <span><span><span><span>If Lu Feng was not here for Ivanov, who was he for? Ouyang Bai Sha suddenly thought of the strange man with Ivanov.

    <span><span><span><span>"Who is he?" This time the mood in the words was even stronger.

    <span><span><span><span>"I don''t know."

    <span><span><span><span>"The Lu Feng I know will note all the way to the sea for a person he does not know, and will not risk crashing in a typhoon tond on the ind." Slowly loosening his clenched fist under his sleeve, Ouyang Bai Sha gently took a deep breath to calm down.

    <span><span><span><span>The calmness of which he was proud was of no avail in front of this sharp-edged man.

    <span><span><span><span>"Lu Feng, you and I have not met for the first time. Do you think I will believe you?"

    <span><span><span><span>"What answer are you looking for?" Lu Feng tilted his head and gave Ouyang Bai Sha an indifferent look. This indifference revealed in his deep eyes was like a ruthless knife, mercilessly poking Ouyang Bai Sha in the heart.

    <span><span><span><span>As always, there had been no change.

    <span><span><span><span>Apart from Chen An, the others made no difference in Lu Feng''s eyes. He had no feelings for anyone else and would not spend a minute on others.

    <span><span><span><span>Ouyang Bai Sha thought that the man was dead and Lu Feng would at least start a new rtionship. But for more than a year, Ouyang Bai Sha has not heard of anyone else around Lu Feng. While feeling relieved, he gave a wry smile.

    <span><span><span><span>The old fox was dead. Was Lu Feng''s heart also dead?

    <span><span><span><span>Bearing no fear of Lu Feng''s sharp eyes, Ouyang Bai Sha lowered his voice, "Are you telling me that you make this trip to take a look at the two men inside and then leave?"

    <span><span><span><span>With a creak, the wooden door was pushed open from the inside.

    <span><span><span><span>Ouyang Bai Sha tilted his head and stopped looking at Lu Feng. He turned his head and looked at Ivanov and Chen Aning out. After passing Ivanov, his eyes lingered on Chen An, giving him a more indifferent look than before.

    <span><span><span><span>Even if Chen An didn''t wear sses at the moment and could not see clearly the people in the front, that hidden hostile eyes of Ouyang Bai Sha still let Chen An noticed.

    <span><span><span><span>For other people''s provocation, the old fox would never retreat. Chen An directly looked toward Ouyang Bai Sha, his casual stares were enough to warn others.

    <span><span><span><span>Ouyang Bai Sha paused slightly, this sharp look was by no means owned by an ordinary person, ''who on earth was this man'', why he had never seen him before, and also did not know him at all.

    <span><span><span><span>"Tell Prince Hae that I can give him 2 billion dors, but you have to release me and my honey immediately." Ivanov, who was just thinking about how to get rid of Hae in the cabin, generously agreed to Prince Hae''s excessive demands as soon as he came out.

 Chapter 125: A Joyous Gathering (2)

    <span><span><span><span>Hearing this, Chen An and Ouyang Bai Sha were immediately dumbfounded. Lu Feng just frowned slightly and said nothing. Ivanov''s words contained too many messages:

    <span><span><span><span>First, Ivanov called Chen An "honey" and made no secret of the rtionship between the two of them. This seemed abnormal to Ouyang Bai Sha since Ivanov had never been short of all kinds of beauties, and he had never promised anyone.

    <span><span><span><span>Second, although Ivanov was generous in character, he was, after all, a shrewd businessman. How could he agree to thepensation requirement of 2 billion at once?

    <span><span><span><span>This was 2 billion US dors, not 2 billion Zimbabwean dors. Even if Ivanov was not short of money, he could not readily agree to the Prince Hae''s terms.

    <span><span><span><span>Ouyang Bai Sha looked suspiciously at these people. Why were Lu Feng and Ivanov both a little abnormal today?

    <span><span><span><span>"Mr. Ivanov, are you sure?" Ouyang Bai Sha did not quite believe Ivanov''s words. The bear''s cunning character was well known in the world.

    <span><span><span><span>"Two billion dors is no problem for me. Besides, the business failed because of my negligence. There is nothing improper topensate, is there?" Ivanov smiled and said in a low voice. It was hard to believe what he said.

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his hand to hug Chen An aside in his arms, and raised his chin at Ouyang Bai Sha, "We could discuss the requirements, but only if you ensure our safety."

    <span><span><span><span>His intentional action was like trying to show Lu Feng that his rtionship with Chen An was different.

    <span><span><span><span>Ouyang Bai Sha secretly looked at Lu Feng nearby, while the other still staring at the falling rain, no expression on his face. Ouyang Sha Bai couldn''t help wondering, was he wrong?

    <span><span><span><span>"Of course, now that Mr. Ivanov has agreed, I will certainly ensure the safety of you and your friends."

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov grinned, "Not me and my friends, but me and my honey. I love this man so much." Saying this, he deliberately pointed to Chen An.

    <span><span><span><span>"Stay away from me." However, Chen An pushed Ivanov away with an elbow.

    <span><span><span><span>From the beginning to the end, only two people did not look at each other, that was, Lu Feng and Chen An.

    <span><span><span><span>After Ivanov agreed to Prince Hae''s request, he and Chen An received a different treatment immediately.

    <span><span><span><span>Ouyang Bai Sha sent a car to take Chen An and Ivanov to the shore from the log cabin, and then took them to the sea with a rubber dingy. It turned out that there was a big ship docked on the other side of the ind.

    <span><span><span><span>After arriving on the ship, Ouyang Bai Sha arranged Ivanov with a nice bedroom with 24-hour hot water supply, bathroom with bathtub and arge soft bed.

    <span><span><span><span>Although it could not bepared with luxury cruise ships, it was much better than that leaky broken house.

    <span><span><span><span>"Mr. Ivanov''s sailboat will be returned to you when the deal is over. During this period, we want Mr. Ivanov and your... honey, take a rest on the boat for a few days. I''ll send food to youter." Ouyang Bai Sha said, "You can rest first and I''ll leave."

 Chapter 126: A Joyous Gathering (3)

    <span><span><span><span>"Where is my room?" Seeing Ouyang Bai Sha was going to leave, Chen An spoke his first words.

    <span><span><span><span>"Aren''t you with Mr. Ivanov?" Ouyang Bai Sha looked strangely at Chen An and Ivanov. What was the rtionship between the two men?

    <span><span><span><span>"Why should I be with this self-righteous bear?"

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An had just finished speaking when Lu Feng, who had not left, interjected, "Arrange another room for him."

    <span><span><span><span>"Lu Feng, this matter has nothing to do with you." Ivanov said coldly, pointing to Lu Feng and telling Ouyang Bai Sha, "The thing between Prince Hae and me should have nothing to do with this guy."

    <span><span><span><span>"That''s between you and Prince Hae. It has nothing to do with him," said Lu Feng, ncing at Chen An, "I have something to tell you."

    <span><span><span><span>As if their dispute had nothing to do with him, Chen An remained calm, "What?"

    <span><span><span><span>"Your nephew asked me toe to you."

    <span><span><span><span>"Hey, you-" Ivanov stood up from the sofa, walked towards Lu Feng.

    <span><span><span><span>However, Chen An interrupted him before he could say anything, "Okay."

    <span><span><span><span>"Baby..."

    <span><span><span><span>"Don''t make any noise." Chen An told Ivanov to be quiet as if he were talking to a child. The bear who had been aggressive just now suddenly lost his imposing manner.

    <span><span><span><span>It was not a good choice to make Chen An angry at such times. Ivanov saw Chen An and Lu Feng seemed to get along well and could only watch them leave. He spected in his heart: Would Chen An tell Lu Feng anything? Would Lu Feng find any clues?

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An took a hot bath in another room. When he came out, he found a clean set of new clothes on the bed. The quality of the clothes was his favorite pure handmade cotton and linen, which was absolutely not avable on the market and could only be bought in the handmade shop in Paris.

    <span><span><span><span>His preference for clothes had not changed before or after his rebirth.

    <span><span><span><span>In addition, Lu Feng also prepared a pair of sses for him.

    <span><span><span><span>In the restaurant, there were three people sitting at the table. Chen An looked at Ouyang Bai Sha nearby and wondered why he was here. Then he turned to Lu Feng, who was sitting opposite him.

    <span><span><span><span>"I don''t think Chen Yang will know you."

    <span><span><span><span>From yesterday to today, Chen An had not eaten well, not to mention fresh vegetables, a rare food in the ship.

    <span><span><span><span>After a casual remark, Chen An began to enjoy the food leisurely. Although the food was not as good as home, it was really good to have fresh vegetables.

    <span><span><span><span>Don''t know was it because Lu Feng and Ouyang Bai Sha were both Chinese. The food they eat was all traditional Chinese food, Chen An liked them all.

    <span><span><span><span>"Interpol is looking for you." Skipping the topic of Chen Yang, Lu Feng mentioned another organization.

    <span><span><span><span>"They should havee to me, but this has nothing to do with you." They sat quietly together, eating and chatting, making Chen An felt as if he had returned to the days of many years ago.

    <span><span><span><span>He and Lu Feng often had dinner at the same table. But since when had he stopped eating with Lu Feng? Chen An himself could not remember.

    <span><span><span><span>In fact, he liked Lu Feng very much. The boy was sensible, obedient and intelligent.

    <span><span><span><span>He has died once, and would not get into a blind alley and be stuck in the quagmire of struggle like he did in his previous life.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An was convinced that he survived because of Chang Le. Therefore, he would no longer live up to his brother''s expectations and would no longer allow himself to fall into the hell of hurting others and hurting himself.

    <span><span><span><span>"It''s a good deal to work with the police on this one. The only person Hae is looking for is Ivanov, not you." Lu Feng''s exnation sounds far-fetched.

    <span><span>However, the key lied not on helping the police or not. They all knew Ding Sheng''s character. The young boy was immune to both soft and hard tactics, and his heart was full of justice. Even if they helped him, he would not repay them through illegal acts.

 Chapter 127: Living Hell (1)

    <span><span><span><span>Lu Feng''s far-fetched excuse did not convince Chen An, nor Ouyang Bai Sha.

    <span><span><span><span>After dinner, Ouyang Bai Sha called over Ivanov. The remaining two must have something important to talk about since Lu Feng sent Chen An back to the room.

    <span><span><span><span>"When the typhoon passes, I''ll have someone take you back to Hong Kong." Although Lu Feng did not sit down, he seemed not mean to leave immediately. He just stood in the room.

    <span><span><span><span>"Are you sure Ivanov will let me go? If he does give Prince Hae 2 billion dors, the Prince would certainly do Ivanov this favor."

    <span><span><span><span>Although this big ship was much steadier than their sailing ship, in the typhoon weather with continuous waves, the ship was still shaking and standing in it was like experiencing a small earthquake.

    <span><span><span><span>"I have an idea." Lu Feng''s answer was very simple, but sounded very confident.

    <span><span><span><span>"What? Rely on your friendship with Ouyang Bai Sha?" Chen An looked around the room and saw a small capsule coffee machine in the room. He went over and took out atte-vored capsule coffee and stuffed it into the coffee machine.

    <span><span><span><span>The machine started to run smoothly, and in a short time, dark mellow coffee slowly flowed into the white porcin cup.

    <span><span><span><span>Since Lu Feng was working by his side long ago, Chen An hardly saw him with any woman or man.

    <span><span><span><span>Lu Feng''s former opponents tried honey traps, but they seemed useless to Lu Feng. Few men are not lecherous. And the exception was too rare. Lu Feng could be called as "abstinence", and it was even circted in their circle that Lu Feng had some defects.

    <span><span><span><span>Of course, up to now, people had finally discovered that Lu Feng had no defect whatsoever. It was just because the people he wanted was too hard to obtain.

    <span><span><span><span>"Have a rest first." Without answering Chen An''s question, Lu Feng just left the word and turned to leave.

    <span><span><span><span>The man''s face darkened. Although he knew he had a strange rtionship with Lu Feng now, he was still a little upset to see the other party left like this.

    <span><span><span><span>After all, in the past, Lu Feng did not dare to do this to him.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An suddenly smiled. What was wrong with his current state of mind? Somehow, he suddenly felt a little chest tightness. So the man grabbed the coffee cup and put it beside his mouth. The temperature of the freshly brewed coffee was too high and he scalded his mouth without noticing it.

    <span><span><span><span>"Damn-" He flung his hottte to the ground, then covered his burned lips with his hand.

    <span><span><span><span>With a "bang", the door was opened again. Lu Feng, who had just left, came in again. He walked hastily to Chen An''s side in two or three steps. There was an undisguised concern in his usually cold voice, "What''s the matter?"

    <span><span><span><span>"Nothing." Chen An raised his hand to fend off the other''s approach and sat down on the sofa beside him.

    <span><span><span><span>Lu Feng looked at the hot coffee spilled all over the floor and said nothing. He turned and left again, but this time the door was open.

    <span><span><span><span>He woulde back, Chen An came up with such a thought.

    <span><span><span><span>Sure enough, not for a while Lu Feng came back with a subordinate, his subordinate helped clean the floor, while Lu Feng came to the side of Chen An, holding an ointment.

    <span><span><span><span>"Try this." Lu Feng handed the ointment to the man.

    <span><span><span><span>"No need." ''It was just burn injuries, I would usually lick the wounded part'', thought Chen An. He stretched out the tip of the tongue to lick his lips.

    <span><span><span><span>"Come here!" Lu Feng''s tone was a lot heavier, thismand made Chen An pause slightly.

 Chapter 128: Living Hell (2)

    <span><span><span><span>Although he was no longer that old fox, he was still the man in essence. In his inherent impression, Lu Feng was obedient to him and did not dare to speak to him in the tone ofmand, even when he was under house arrest. Just when Chen An was in a daze, Lu Feng had applied ointment on his fingers and rubbed them directly on Chen An''s lips. When his soft fingertip rubbed Chen An''s painful lips, it brought a strange electric current, which wormed into Chen An''s body.

    <span><span><span><span>All the memories of his intimate contact with the man beside him poured into his mind. Chen An did not push away Lu Feng, who was applying ointment to him earnestly, he looked at the young man closely instead.

    <span><span><span><span>Compared with two years ago, Lu Feng had obviously aged.

    <span><span><span><span>"I hope I''m not disturbing you two." With an unpleasant voice sounded at the door, Ouyang Bai Sha, who came for Lu Feng, stepped forward. The scene in front of him made he feel very distasteful.

    <span><span><span><span>"What did Ivanov talk to you about?" Lu Feng still looked indifferent, after helping Chen An with the ointment, he stood up and looked at Ouyang Bai Sha.

    <span><span><span><span>Ouyang Bai Sha smiled mockingly and coldly, "Why should I tell you?"

    <span><span><span><span>"What''s wrong with you?"

    <span><span><span><span>"What''s wrong with ME? What were you doing?" Ouyang Bai Sha took a special look at Chen An, which made Chen An feel as if he and Lu Feng had done something they shouldn''t have done, and then caught by Lu Feng''s wife.

    <span><span><span><span>But the fact was, Ouyang Bai Sha was not Lu Feng''s wife, and he and Lu Feng also didn''t do shady things.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An raised his eyebrows. Things became interesting.

    <span><span><span><span>...

    <span><span><span><span>"Bai Sha, what are you talking about?" Lu Feng looked like he didn''t understand what the other party was saying. What Lu Feng did to Chen An just seemed normal to the former.

    <span><span><span><span>It was this kind of normality that made people familiar with Lu Feng feel very abnormal. Lu Feng was not a man who would take the initiative to serve for others from the heart. He would only serve someone who he cared for.

    <span><span><span><span>Lu Feng cared about Chen An, the fact was quite simple.

    <span><span><span><span>"Tell me, Lu Feng, why did you save this man?" Ouyang Bai Sha pointed at Chen An impolitely.

    <span><span><span><span>"I have already told you the reason."

    <span><span><span><span>This made the young manugh suddenly, "What a poor lie! Do you think I will buy it?" He stared at Lu Feng as if he was looking for the answer from the other party''s eyes.

    <span><span><span><span>Compared with Ouyang Bai Sha''s excitement, Lu Feng seemed too calm, "Whether you believe or not is your own business."

    <span><span><span><span>"I''m really sorry, I won''t let you take this man away."

    <span><span><span><span>Lu Feng frowned at once, "He is of no use to you or to Hae."

    <span><span><span><span>"But he is useful to Ivanov who he belongs to. Prince Hae will not want to offend Ivanovpletely. Besides, Ivanov has just promised that as long as he and this man are safe and could leave together, he will give Prince Hae more advanced weapons."

    <span><span><span><span>As soon as Ouyang Bai Sha had finished speaking, Lu Feng followed him and said, "I can also give whatever Hae wants, even at a better price, but only if I can take away Chen An!"

    <span><span><span><span>Lu Feng''s cold eyes showed desperate determination. His tone made the other two men present paused. Chen An even didn''t know himself was in such demand.

    <span><span><span><span>However, why did Lu Feng have to take him away? This son of a bitch was not aware that Chen An was the old fox.

 Chapter 129: Living Hell (3)

    <span><span><span><span>"You are too abnormal, Lu Feng," after hearing those words, Ouyang Bai Sha''s facial expression became softer instead, and even looked at Lu Feng affectionately, "I have never seen you so excited for others except that man..."

    <span><span><span><span>"I''ve been waiting, waiting for you to look back at me, hoping that one day you will care about someone other than Chen An, but this someone is not me, right?" Ouyang Bai Shaughed in a low voice. Theughter sounded sad and helpless.

    <span><span><span><span>He pointed to the nearby Chen An and asked Lu Feng, "Why do you like him? Because he has the same name as the old fox or the same character? Can you wake up? Chen Chang An is dead, he is dead! When will you stop missing that cruel man?"

    <span><span><span><span>"Everyone knows that you love Chen Chang An, this is your weakness, you know? Do your own calctions. So far, how many men have disguised as him and tried to get close to you? Don''t get toofortable, Lu Feng. You will die in Chen Chang An''s hands sooner orter!"

    <span><span><span><span>Ouyang Bai Sha''s words immediately plunged the room into silence. Chen An lowered his eyes slightly and did not speak. The subordinate who wiped the floor had already slipped out of the door, leaving only the three of them in the room.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An suddenly wanted tough. He adopted the child because he thought Lu Feng was simr to Chang Le.

    <span><span><span><span>As a matter of fact, Lu Feng and Chang Le were so alike in character, they were smart, tend to keep their worries and feelings in their hearts, and bearing a long evesting love.

    <span><span><span><span>Because of Chang Le, the knot in Chen An''s heart could not be unfastened and he had always refused all people''s feelings for him, including Lu Feng.

    <span><span><span><span>But while Lu Feng hurt him, didn''t he hurt Lu Feng as well?

    <span><span><span><span>That dark night, he held Chang Le''s cold body, helpless and desperate, crying in grief but unable to get Chang Le''s response.

    <span><span><span><span>On that clear day, did Lu Feng also hold his already cold bloody body in despair and grief? The torture he suffered himself was imposed on Lu Feng.

    <span><span><span><span>There was nothing wrong with outsiders'' evaluation of him. Chen An was really a very cruel and cold man.

    <span><span><span><span>"If I could, I would rather die in his hands." Lu Feng said slowly, his face still had no expression, his tone was calm like talking about the weather.

    <span><span><span><span>At this moment, Ouyang Bai Sha and Chen An both frowned. Tremendous sadness usually came without tears.

    <span><span><span><span>Today''s Lu Feng was not ustomed to apathy as before, but this man''s heart had died after the death of his loved one. He was now living like a walking corpse.

    <span><span><span><span>"Lu Feng... can''t you just try... to love others?" Ouyang Bai Sha''s tears came down at once. The saddest thing in the world was probably to fall in love with a man who would never love you back.

    <span><span><span><span>"Tell Hae what I said." Lu Feng directly turned and left.

    <span><span><span><span>Looking at the back of the man disappearing into view, Chen An suddenly wanted to ask himself, was this what he wanted? Was this what he wanted to punish Lu Feng?

    <span><span><span><span>"Do you like him?" Ouyang Bai Sha suddenly asked.

    <span><span><span><span>"You like him." Chen An looked over at the young man. It was not unusual for Lu Feng to have admirers. All the children he had taught were capable, and excellent people had always had admirers.

    <span><span><span><span>"No, I love him," with his corners of the mouth raised a warm smile, Ouyang Bai Sha looked at the door and sighed softly, "I love him so much that I can do everything for him, even to die. But it''s funny, isn''t it? He is like another me, loving another man..."

    <span><span><span><span>"None of us can get the happiness we yearn for. It''s like a curse. He watched the man he loved die. I feel... one day I will also see Lu Feng die in front of me," Ouyang Bai Shaughed sadly in a low voice. "Although, he is no different from dead now."

    <span><span><span><span>Suddenly turning his head, Ouyang Bai Sha looked at Chen An coldly, "I don''t know what is your rtionship with Lu Feng, and don''t care what is your rtionship with Ivanov, if you dare to hurt Lu Feng, I promise you a living hell!"

 Chapter 130: Leaving the Sea (1)

    <span><span><span><span>So, was Chen An just threatened?

    <span><span><span><span>After Ouyang Bai Sha left, Chen An got up and walked to the window. The typhoon made the window shout loudly. Beans of raindrops kept hitting the window. It sounded like being located in the rain of bullets.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An''s finger gently touched his lips smeared with ointment, and then he narrowed his eyes slightly.

    <span><span><span><span>There was nothing to be afraid of if a typhoon was fierce, what one should be afraid of was it went away slowly.

    <span><span><span><span>The stronger the typhoon, the faster it would disappear. However, this time, it was estimated that the typhoon, which was either big, small, urgent, or slow, would not disappear for several days. In order to keep safe, they had been staying on board for several days.

    <span><span><span><span>Although there was an airport left over by the U.S. military on the ind, taking off in typhoon weather was not a wise choice, as some private nes crashed due to weather every year.

    <span><span><span><span>"Are you really going to give Prince Hae 2 billion?" Holding a club in his hand, Chen An bent down and aimed at the red ball, making a precise putt. The red ball rolled into the ball bag precisely.

    <span><span><span><span>A man with golden hair held a club and stood aside like a sculpture. He watched Chen An scored another goal and sighed, "You are worth more than 2 billion in my heart. It is totally beyond money, my dear."

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov''s words immediately made Chen An feel sick and his hand could not help shaking, letting the shot failed to score. Chen An turned and sat down in the chair beside him, "It''s your turn."

    <span><span><span><span>"I am telling the truth!" Ivanov added, fearing that Chen An would not believe what he said.

    <span><span><span><span>"Is it? Then give me all your property."

    <span><span><span><span>With the ball dropped into the bag with a crisp sound, Ivanov grinned. He looked back at thezy man beside him and said with a smile, "If you can guarantee that you only love me this life, I will give myself and my property to you."

    <span><span><span><span>But the problem was Chen An could not make this promise. The answer was obvious.

    <span><span><span><span>"Oh, shit!" Ivanov let out a cry. Just a moment ago, the ship shook and his ball failed to enter the hole, giving the other party a good chance.

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov had no choice but to leave the table and give way to his opponent. He sat on the sofa, raised his head and looked at Chen An. The man with a club in his hand was ying ball intently. Every bend drew the outline of this man''s extremely beautiful curves.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An, who was slightly fatst year, hadpletely changed now. Maybe it was because he had experienced too many things recently. Now he was not only not fat, but even a little thin.

    <span><span><span><span>His bony fingers held the club tightly and his rolled-up shirtsleeve revealed his clean wrist that looked like it having been washed with clean water. Chen An, who hadn''t had his hair cut for a long time, had long hair and his bangs were almost covering his eyes, making this handsome face look very soft.

    <span><span><span><span>It was like... a picture...

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov thought this man was really getting more handsome. His love for this man had also grown stronger. Don''t know whether it was because the soul change, Ivanov always felt Chen An was now more and more like the old fox.

    <span><span><span><span>"An, the past has passed. You should look more into the future."

    <span><span><span><span>"Well, little Ivan grows up, he even teaches his uncle life philosophy." Chen An casually threw something at Ivanov from his pocket.

 Chapter 131: Leaving the Sea (2)

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov instinctively stretched out his hand and caught it. When he found it was a Ferriero, he had a slight spasm at the corner of his eye. The man put chocte in his pocket. Wasn''t he afraid of it melting?

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov liked to eat chocte when he was a child. At that time, Chen An often came to his home for business dealings and would brought him chocte every time. Ivanov still remembered when he shouted behind Chen An, "Uncle, where''s my chocte?"

    <span><span><span><span>At that time, Chen An would crouch down to touch his head, kiss his cheek and give him a chocte, "Kids can''t eat too much chocte, do you know?"

    <span><span><span><span>What a distant memory...

    <span><span><span><span>"I am no longer a child, old fox," Ivanov said with a vicious smile, peeled off the golden wrapping paper and stuffed the chocte inside into his mouth. As he chewed, he said in an indecent way, "You have personally tested whether I am "little Ivan" or "big Ivan", so you have the most right to speak, but you cannot speak without conscience."

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An stopped his action and red back at Ivanov. The club in his hand threatened to knock at the bear.

    <span><span><span><span>"Hey, hey, I didn''t expect you to be shy since you''re at that age. This will only make others think you''re cute, you know?" Seeing that Chen An was reallying, Ivanov jumped up from his chair, ran far away, raised his hand and surrendered, "Your Royal Highness, forgive me, I dare not to offend you!"

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov thought Chen An woulde after him and give him a harsh beating. However, the man just raised his club and leaned against the table.

    <span><span><span><span>"Hey, you''re not having another depression attack, are you?" Ivanov walked slowly past, smiled and said with open arms, "Do you want to be in my warm arms?"

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An just looked at Ivanov, and his face was not angry. This was unusual.

    <span><span><span><span>"Ivan."

    <span><span><span><span>Wait, he even gave him an intimate cry of Ivan!

    <span><span><span><span>Hey, hey, please do not focus on me with your big watery eyes. I would seized by heart attack.

    <span><span><span><span>"Don''t stop Lu Feng from taking me away."

    <span><span><span><span>"Ha?" Wait, what did this man just say?

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov couldn''t help but want to pick his ears to hear what the other party said. He narrowed his eyes, "Dear, what are you talking about? If you want to regain your foundation, believe me, I will be your best helper."

    <span><span><span><span>"I don''t care about those things anymore. There are some things I need to solve with Lu Feng."

    <span><span><span><span>If these knots were not untied, Chen An would fidget.

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov was trying to say something to dispel Chen An''s desire to stay with Lu Feng when he saw the mane to his side and smiled and took the initiative to gently embrace him with open arms.

    <span><span><span><span>At that moment, the bear''s head went empty, as if the world began to snow with pure white snowkes floating all over his world.

    <span><span><span><span>"Thank you."

    <span><span><span><span>It was not easy for Chen An to say these simplest two words.

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov suddenly gave a wry smile. He could not refuse Chen An. The thought that it was because of his own persuasion that Chen An intended to resolve the conflict with Lu Feng made Ivanov suffer even more.

    <span><span><span><span>However, he also knew that if the knot buried deep in Chen An''s soul could not be untied, the man could not walk out of the shadow of struggle and pain.

    <span><span><span><span>The selfish Ivanov would try every means to refuse Chen An and take this man as his own. But Ivanov, who was in love, would consider Chen An more than himself. This was the fucking love!

 Chapter 132: Leaving the Sea (3)

    <span><span><span><span>"You old fox-" The bear gnashed his teeth and looked at the room where he was left alone with a wry smile. Was he calcted by the old fox again?

    <span><span><span><span>He walked to the table and saw that there was no ball on it. Ivanov picked his eyebrows slightly. Chen An won again. He immediately had a strange feeling that he would lose to Chen An all his life.

    <span><span><span><span>With a deep sigh, Ivanov covered his ached forehead andughed in a low voice. He never expected that he would have such sad moments.

    <span><span><span><span>Despite his reluctance, Ivanov would do what he said.

    <span><span><span><span>A few days ago, Ivanov repeatedly insisted that Chen An must leave with him safely. Otherwise, he would not have paid Prince Hae 2 billion dors inpensation, but now he had suddenly changed his mind.

    <span><span><span><span>Ouyang Bai Sha had to treat this man named Chen An differently. In these three days, Chen An was almost with Ivanov. If they were not that kind of rtionship, it was strange since Ivanov was always affectionately called Chen An "baby" and would asionally get a little handsy on him.

    <span><span><span><span>If they were really that kind of rtionship, but the two men had no further intimate contact, and did not sleep in the same room at night. Ivanov would only secretly touch Chen An''s shoulder and arm.

    <span><span><span><span>Were they really lovers? If it was true, how could Ivanov let Chen An go?

    <span><span><span><span>Ouyang Bai Sha felt more and more uneasy about the man whom he thought insignificant at the beginning. He could not understand the man named Chen An.

    <span><span><span><span>"ording to the agreement, you can go back with Lu Feng," Ouyang Bai Sha stood on the deck of the ship and watched the man with a cool face. He couldn''t help asking the question in his heart, "What is the rtionship between you and Ivanov?"

    <span><span><span><span>"It is not polite to ask someone about his personal affairs." Holding the sses on the bridge of his nose, Chen An''s eyes crossed Ouyang Bai Sha and looked over at the approaching Lu Feng.

    <span><span><span><span>ording to Lu Feng''s words, he would take Chen An to the United States with a small private ne and then transfer to Hong Kong from the US. If things went smoothly, Chen An would be able to see Chen Yang in a week.

    <span><span><span><span>Speaking of Chen Yang, he was a little curious to know how the boy had been recently.

    <span><span><span><span>"Let''s go." Lu Feng walked beside Chen An, then turned to Ouyang Bai Sha nearby and said, "Thank you."

    <span><span><span><span>"Take care of yourself if you want to thank me. You know who I care most about." Ouyang Bai Sha''s eyes became tender and his voice was somewhat affectionate, "As long as you say a word, I will be yours for the rest of my life. No matter what you do, I will support and apany you forever."

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An picked his eyebrows slightly, this was said to Lu Feng, or deliberately said to him?

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An secretly looked at Lu Feng. What would the boy say?

    <span><span><span><span>"I will." Lu Feng gave an unexpected faint smile.

    <span><span><span><span>Lu Feng''s reaction immediately filled Ouyang Bai Sha''s eyes with smiles and made Chen An''s face colder.

    <span><span><span><span>Why would he feel so ufortable when he saw Lu Feng smile at others?

    <span><span><span><span>Once again, Chen An sighed for his subconscious emotional response. Previously, he had hoped that Lu Feng would stop looking at him. Wasn''t he hoping that Lu Feng to leave his ardent love to others?

    <span><span><span><span>Although Lu Feng had not moved on yet, a small smile had already made Chen An feel ufortable.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An did not like to force himself. He did not like Lu Feng smiling at others, and he knew in his heart that he would not like Lu Feng falling in love with others.

    <span><span><span><span>If so¡­

    <span><span><span><span>He looked at the nearby Lu Feng.

 Chapter 133: Lend Me Your Shoulder (1)

    <span><span><span><span>"Your uncle asked me to tell you that he is all right. He is with Lu Feng now."

    <span><span><span><span>On thefortable leather chair of the ne, Ivanov was enjoying a massage from a beautiful woman whilezily making a phone call to Chen Yang.

    <span><span><span><span>He promised Chen An that he would notify Chen Yang, but he only intended to make a phone call. He did not n to go to Yang Chen personally since he had never been willing to spend time with people who he was not interested in.

    <span><span><span><span>"It is estimated that he will call you when you arrive in the United States, that''s all."

    <span><span><span><span>After simply delivering what to say, Ivanov hung up the phone and threw his cell phone aside. He yawned and slowlyy down on the declining leather chair.

    <span><span><span><span>Katusha motioned the others to leave. She walked behind Ivanov, smeared essential oil on her fingertips, and then gently massaged the man''s temples, "Boss, where are we going?"

    <span><span><span><span>"Hae, that bastard, took me $2 billion. Maybe he is enjoying himself somewhere. Anyone who dares to cheat me Ivanov will pay the price."

    <span><span><span><span>Ivanov stretched out his finger, "Back to Moscow."

    <span><span><span><span>"Yes." Katusha wiped her hands and put a pair of headphones on Ivanov''s ears.

    <span><span><span><span>Soothing music and perfect massage should had allowed him to close his eyes and rest, but a man with ck hair was still haunting his mind.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An, we would meet again.

    <span><span><span><span>¡­

    <span><span><span><span>"Icette, thank you."

    <span><span><span><span>After the ne took off smoothly, Chen An got up from his seat and took a seat near Lu Feng.

    <span><span><span><span>Lu Feng''s subordinate gave Chen An a strange look. He came over and motioned Chen An to return to his own seat.

    <span><span><span><span>Lu Feng raised his hand to signal the subordinate next to him to leave. He looked at the man sitting opposite him with the same indifferent expression, "Any red wine?"

    <span><span><span><span>Just as Chen An was about to decline, he swallowed what he wanted to said and smiled, "Okay."

    <span><span><span><span>After a while, a flight attendant delivered two sses of red wine to their table. During this period, neither Chen An nor Lu Feng said a word, nor did they look at each other.

    <span><span><span><span>To be precise, it was Lu Feng who had been avoiding the gaze of Chen An.

    <span><span><span><span>"Why not be with Ouyang Bai Sha? He seems to love you very much." Finally, Chen An spoke first.

    <span><span><span><span>Lu Feng picked up the ss and shook it gently. The bright red and mellow liquid hung on the ss wall with ruby luster. Chen An raised his ss to his lips and took a sip. The moment the alcohol flew in his mouth, he felt a magical vertigo.

    <span><span><span><span>"Someone once told me that a person can''t live a life alone, otherwise he will be engulfed by boundless loneliness and despair sooner orter," Chen An watched the man sitting opposite him through the bright red crystal cup, "What are you thinking?"

    <span><span><span><span>"What do you want to say?" Lu Feng asked, leaning back against the chair and fiddling with the red wine cup on the table with his hand, "Do you think the final result of choosing a man who love you will be better than a lifetime of loneliness?"

    <span><span><span><span>The young man''s eyes revealed a touch of despair and grief. Lu Feng had tried once. He tried every means to be with the man he had been looking forward to for a long time. He thought that with his efforts, he could slowly melt Chen Chang An''s frozen heart.

    <span><span><span><span>But in the end?

    <span><span><span><span>When he saw Chen Chang An die in front of him, he couldn''t even cry but just stood there motionless.

    <span><span><span><span>If he could go back to the past, Lu Feng would definitely swear that he would not put Chen Chang An under house arrest. He would rather hide his feelings for the man forever than see he die in front of him.

 Chapter 134: Lend Me Your Shoulder (2)

    <span><span><span><span>"Do you know what is the saddest thing in the world?" After pouring several mouthfuls of red wine into his mouth, Chen An''s eyes were blurred. He breathed in and out slowly to keep his sanity as far as possible.

    <span><span><span><span>"The saddest thing is to love someone but dare not say it, to suppress one''s own feelings, or even to die without conveying one''s heart..." Chen An smiled wryly and looked down at his fingers on the table with blurred eyes.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An really felt that he was a cruel man. He was cruel to others and also to himself.

    <span><span><span><span>He had one he loved, but he dared not to express his feeling. His character also affected his younger brother Chang Le, a poor boy, fearing his older brother''s disgust, chose to suppress his intense emotions and anesthetize himself with alcohol and drugs. It was not until the moment of his death that he finally said out his love and got relieved.

    <span><span><span><span>Lu Feng was also very much the same.

    <span><span><span><span>While Chen An was most cruel to himself. When he slowly realized that he actually had feelings for Lu Feng, his guilt for his younger brother and his long-term despair finally led him to kill himself.

    <span><span><span><span>In the end, neither he nor the people around him had a good ending.

    <span><span><span><span>Once a man got into a blind alley, it was hard to pull him back.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An forcibly closed his eyes and murmured, "Can''t you forget him?"

    <span><span><span><span>"You ask too much." Slightly clenched the ss, Lu Feng said in a low voice, with a hint of warning.

    <span><span><span><span>"Why did youe to save me? Forcednding in such weather is always in danger of crash. Don''t tell me you want to give the police a favor. What''s the use of this favor without even life?"

    <span><span><span><span>"My life and death have nothing to do with you. What I have done is none of your business." Lu Feng dropped his tone. "Don''t think that since I save you this time, you can interfere in my affairs. Bear in mind who you are."

    <span><span><span><span>How dare he spoke to him like that! Chen An was choked back by Lu Feng for the first time and was suddenly speechless. Speaking of who he was. Well¡­

    <span><span><span><span>He could not tell Lu Feng directly that he was actually the old fox, he was ''dead'' but actually ''alive''. He had be like this due to soul resurrection.

    <span><span><span><span>In the face of Ivanov, Chen An could do everything at ease, and there was no need to beat around the bush with the bear since Ivanov and him had not so much past.

    <span><span><span><span>But in the face of Lu Feng, Chen An always felt that his heart was a mess.

    <span><span><span><span>"Take Mr. Chen back to where he should be."

    <span><span><span><span>Before Lu Feng''s voice fell, two bodyguards next to him immediately stepped forward and looked at Chen An grimly, "Please, Mr. Chen." It seemed that they would force him to leave if he stayed unmoved.

    <span><span><span><span>But what did Lu Feng mean by these words? Stay at where he should be?

    <span><span><span><span>"I''ll go by myself."

    <span><span><span><span>Just as Chen An was going to return to his original seat in a sullen mood, one of Lu Feng''s subordinates came running up in a hurry like a rabbit and speaking at an unreasonable fast speed, "Mr. Lu, our station in Syria was taken over, and the goods were also intercepted!"

    <span><span><span><span>Although this young man, who looked like a rabbit, was talking like a machine gun, Chen An still got what he said.

    <span><span><span><span>"There are spies in the organization!" After the rabbit finished speaking, he saw Chen An next to him, he immediately paused and quickly covered his mouth with his hands. He was probably thinking, damn! How could he tell such an important thing in front of an outsider?

 Chapter 135: Lend Me Your Shoulder (3)

    <span><span><span><span>Lu Feng did not have much expression, but frowned slightly after hearing what the little rabbit said, "Let the staffs in the east deal with the aftermath and order the personnel of all departments to attend the meeting in Los Angeles."

    <span><span><span><span>"Yes." The little rabbit replied and gave Chen An a special look before leaving.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An was still sitting in his ce. His thoughts stayed on what the little rabbit said just now. Were there spies in the organization? Was it his original subordinates in retaliation for Lu Feng?

    <span><span><span><span>Seeing that Chen An was doing nothing, the bodyguards next to him came up and grabbed Chen An''s arm. Chen An red at the two sharply, "Don''t touch me."

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An''s appearance was like a nobody, but this abrupt rebuke with majesty shocked the two and stopped their hands reaching for him.

    <span><span><span><span>Lu Feng gave Chen An a suspicious look, waved casually, and ordered the two bodyguards, "Your job is done."

    <span><span><span><span>The two were only able to leave timidly. Their boss''s mood today was really unpredictable. They were asked toe and soon to leave for no reason.

    <span><span><span><span>"When we get to Los Angeles, Ding Sheng will pick you up." Lu Feng said calmly, "We will not meet again."

    <span><span><span><span>"Are you afraid to see me?" Chen An instantly caught the glimmer of haze in Lu Feng''s eyes. Lu Feng was so simr to him.

    <span><span><span><span>Thest time Lu Feng did not strangle Chen An, making him understand that this was because Lu Feng did have some feelings for him now. Otherwise, with Lu Feng''s deep affection for the "old fox", he would decisively restrain any sprout of affection before it grew.

    <span><span><span><span>But if Lu Feng was unwilling to kill him, Lu Feng could only choose not to meet him and never see him again.

    <span><span><span><span>"Don''t make me kill you." Sure enough, Lu Feng was irritated by Chen An''s aggressiveness.

    <span><span><span><span>Hearing Lu Feng''s warning, Chen Anughed, his conjecture was proved right.

    <span><span><span><span>"Have you ever wondered why the old fox chose to aim his gun at himself instead of at you?"

    <span><span><span><span>"Do not mention him." Lu Feng''s tone was getting colder, making Chen An believe that this man really could not stand more stimtion, otherwise he would truly kill him again.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An smiled faintly. He stood up and leaned over the table with both hands and looked at Lu Feng, "If you want to catch the spies, I can help you."

    <span><span><span><span>Lu Feng stunned by the sudden change of topic. The man quickly frowned, "What are you talking about?"

    <span><span><span><span>"Didn''t you hear? I say, I can help you find the spies in the organization." Chen An frivolously stretched out his hand to raise Lu Feng''s jaw, making his subordinates who had been with their boss for many years stare at them in shock.

    <span><span><span><span>Who on earth was this man? He even dared to do this to Lu Feng?

    <span><span><span><span>Seeing Lu Feng wanted to speak, Chen An put his finger on Lu Feng''s lips. Slightly cold fingers touching the warm lips gave Lu Feng a strange but not unpleasant feeling.

    <span><span><span><span>Lu Feng just looked at Chen An, with growing uneasiness and doubts in his eyes.

    <span><span><span><span>"I know what you want to ask, no matter what you want to ask, what you suspect, what you are curious about, and what you already know... you will have a clear answer in the end."

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An''s fingers slowly moved away from Lu Feng''s lips. He slowly breathed out a sigh of relief, forcibly closed his eyes, and then braced his forehead with his fingers.

    <span><span><span><span>The effect of alcohol began, and he was already a little dizzy.

    <span><span><span><span>"Chen An." Seeing the man had a tendency to fall down, Lu Feng quickly stood up to hold the rickety man.

    <span><span><span><span>"I am a little bit drunk. Lend me your shoulder." Chen An''s head leaned over Lu Feng''s shoulder, then he closed his eyes with a whisper.

 Chapter 136: Coincidence or Accident (1)

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An was so easily drunk that he first leaned against Lu Feng and soon his entire weight was on Lu Feng''s shoulder. Lu Feng quickly reached out to hold the man who was going to fall down and let him sit down slowly.

    <span><span><span><span>It seemed not a disguise. Lu Feng frowned when he looked at the red wine that had not been finished in the ss opposite him. How could this man so bad at drinking? A ss of red wine would make him lose consciousness.

    <span><span><span><span>"Boss, shall we..." A subordinate by Lu Feng''s side came up and asked in a low voice.

    <span><span><span><span>"No." His suggestion was rejected by Lu Feng before he had finished speaking.

    <span><span><span><span>"Wait, bring the nket." Lu Feng called out his subordinates who were ready to leave.

    <span><span><span><span>He probably felt that Chen An was notfortable sleeping on his shoulder, so he carefully held the man''s head and let Chen An lean on his own legs, then put on a wool nket for the man to prevent Chen An from catching cold.

    <span><span><span><span>There was still more than an hour''s fly to Los Angeles. Lu Feng just sat quietly and asionally looked out of the window at the blue sky and white clouds. The clouds at ten thousand miles high were interwove like white waves.

    <span><span><span><span>The scenery outside the window was not so beautiful, and he unconsciously looked at the man lying on his leg.

    <span><span><span><span>When he saw Chen An at ordinary times, Lu Feng always had a damn sense of familiarity. He fantasized more than once about whether this man was Chen Chang An, whom he thought about day and night. The two men even had simr names.

    <span><span><span><span>However, every time Lu Feng would question himself relentlessly: Chen Chang An and Chen An were two different men.

    <span><span><span><span>But why did they look so alike when they sleep?

    <span><span><span><span>Lu Feng involuntarily looked down at the man''s side face, as peaceful and stable as a baby. His brow rxedpletely, making Lu Feng feel that this man should have a soft heart.

    <span><span><span><span>In the year of Chen Chang An''s house arrest, Lu Feng actually had a very unhappy life.

    <span><span><span><span>He got the man he dreamed of, but the result was a sharp drop in his rtionship with the old fox. Almost every time they meet, they would fight with ''gunfire and bullets''. Chen Chang An would either beat him up and let him go, or ignore him directly and use emotional abuse against him.

    <span><span><span><span>The longer it took, the more afraid Lu Feng was to see Chen Chang An. Only when the man was asleep did Lu Feng sneak into the room and secretly watch the man fall asleep.

    <span><span><span><span>Quiet and gentle.

    <span><span><span><span>More than once, he fantasized that one day Chen Chang An could also give Lu Feng a little of his own tenderness. A little was enough.

    <span><span><span><span>He imagined that one day the man could face him squarely and ept him slowly.

    <span><span><span><span>He dreamed that when they slowly getting old, he could be by the man''s side and never leave...

    <span><span><span><span>One year, two years, ten years, twenty years...

    <span><span><span><span>He aspired that one day, Cheng Chang An could smile at him and shout his name gently.

    <span><span><span><span>But that day would nevere.

    <span><span><span><span>Lu Feng slowly closed his eyes and put his hand gently on the shoulder of the man sleeping on his legs. Let him have a dream, a short and sweet dream. Lu Feng fancied that the man lying on his leg now was the man he missed.

    <span><span><span><span>"Chang An..." Lu Feng murmured the man''s name in a trembling voice, and then covered his forehead with his fingers gently.

    <span><span><span><span>"I''m so tired... Really tired..."

    <span><span><span><span>He missed him, he longed to see him.

    <span><span><span><span>The man sleeping on Lu Feng''s legs opened his eyes slightly and clearly heard the tired whispers of the young man from above.

    <span><span><span><span>ording to the original n, after arriving in Los Angeles, Lu Feng should hand over Chen An to Ding Sheng, who had been waiting for a long time, and this was indeed the case.

 Chapter 137: Coincidence or Accident (2)

    <span><span><span><span>Their ne had just arrived at the airport, and several police cars had already stopped by their ne. As soon as Lu Feng and Chen An got off the ne, they saw Sheng Ding, dressed in a ck uniform and looking particrly dashing, running up.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An looked at the expressionless Lu Feng besides, and it seemed that Lu Feng did not intend to let Chen An go with him to catch spies in the organization.

    <span><span><span><span>"You don''t think we''ll meet again, do you?" Chen An said with a smile.

    <span><span><span><span>Lu Feng didn''t reply, he turned around even without looking at Chen An at a nce and left directly. His subordinates quickly followed him.

    <span><span><span><span>"Uncle An!" Ding Sheng saw Chen An and immediately ran toe over, holding the man to observe him carefully. Chen An was amused by his tense appearance.

    <span><span><span><span>"I''m fine." Chen An smiled and patted Ding Sheng on the shoulder. He looked at the back of Lu Feng, feeling both angry and amused.

    <span><span><span><span>How firmly Lu Feng refused him meant how deeply he loved the "old fox". Although he clearly knew that the bad boy did this to maintain his loyalty, why did Chen An feel unhappy?

    <span><span><span><span>No matter where Lu Feng fled, he would find Lu Feng. Lu Feng may not know him very well, but as Chen An who had watched Lu Feng grow up, he knew that boy like the back of his hand.

    <span><span><span><span>¡­

    <span><span><span><span>Ding Sheng took Chen An to a local luxury hotel. He seemed to be afraid of touching the sore spot in Chen An, and refrained to mention what happened to Chen An these days.

    <span><span><span><span>After arranging the amodation and meals for Chen An, Ding Sheng followed Chen An like a puppy dog and asked the man if he wanted to go out.

    <span><span><span><span>When Chen An said he didn''t want to, Ding Sheng obediently apanied the man to watch TV. Chen An wanted to smile seeing Ding Sheng''s careful look, although on the surface Chen An still pretended to be calm.

    <span><span><span><span>"Okay, Ding Sheng, I''m fine. You don''t have to follow me all the time. I''m already an adult. And won''t hurt myself."

    <span><span><span><span>"I know you won''t like to listen to my apology, but... Uncle An, I''m sorry, I''m really sorry!" Ding Sheng hugged the man, and he seemed to utter every word with his biggest strength. "I want to tell you. No matter what happens, I will always be by your side, forever!"

    <span><span><span><span>This kind offort, Chen An had heard too much. He probably knew what Ding Sheng wanted to say, and it seemed that the young Interpol did not know what tricks he had used on Ivanov.

    <span><span><span><span>However, it was better to keep the current situation. As long as Ding Sheng had not discovered his true face for the time being, the boy could be his greatest help.

    <span><span><span><span>"Well, I know." Gently patting Ding Sheng on the shoulder, Chen An sincerelyforted the young boy who was crying with guilt. "Even I was not crying. I''ll kick you out if there''s one more tear on your face."

    <span><span><span><span>The words immediately let Ding Sheng withdrew the tears rotating in his eyes.

    <span><span><span><span>What Chen An most feared to hear was an apology. What he most feared to see was someone crying in front of him. Before, he only knew that Ding Sheng was a tough guy, but this boy was like a child in private.

    <span><span><span><span>It was certainly good to win the trust of Ding Sheng. However, the problem was, Chen An did not expect that since he was rescued this time, Ding Sheng had stuck to him like a ster.

    <span><span><span><span>No matter where he went, Ding Sheng would follow him. Chen An proposed to return to China. And the other party also readily promised to go back with Chen An.

    <span><span><span><span>Not only Chen An''s residence be checked inside and outside, but guards were sent by him to protect Chen An every day. His kindness was a burden to Chen An.

    <span><span><span><span>What Chen An had done himself was not clean. Ding Sheng would inevitably find a trace if he really wanted to discover it.

    <span><span><span><span>In desperation, Chen An could only refused Ding Sheng''s kindness with highfalutin excuses. He kept saying that he should go back to his hometown for self-cultivation, and Ivanov had no interest in him anymore. Being persuaded from time to time, Ding Sheng had to reluctantly believe Chen An.

 Chapter 138: Coincidence or Accident (3)

    <span><span><span><span>Two dayster, he personally took Chen An to the airport. It was not until he saw the man enter the security check with his own eyes and then saw the man''s back disappeared that Ding Sheng slowly turned around, a face of loneliness.

    <span><span><span><span>"Leader, do you... like the man named Chen An?" The monkey who came together with him secretly asked. He had been around Ding Sheng for a long time. For the first time, he saw Ding Sheng so concerned about a man and felt so sad because of the man''s leaving.

    <span><span><span><span>"Don''t talk nonsense," as soon as Chen An left, Ding Sheng resumed to his former serious attitude. He gave the monkey a hard knock on the head and lowered his voice, "I am a trouble. he will get into trouble if he stayed with me. I don''t want to disturb his life anymore."

    <span><span><span><span>"Then, you will never see him again?"

    <span><span><span><span>"Are you asking these for gossip? Let''s go, there is still work to be done!"

    <span><span><span><span>Ding Sheng educated the talkative monkey and left the airport with him. Shortly after the two left, a man who had passed the security check came out from the terminal and took a taxi to leave.

    <span><span><span><span>There was a world-famous city in the northwest suburb of Los Angeles, that was Hollywood, which was full of stars and legends.

    <span><span><span><span>"I still have some things to do in the United States. Take good care of yourself and call me if there''s any problem. I''m fine myself, don''te to me."

    <span><span><span><span>Sitting on the lounge chair by the window of the hotel, Chen An, who should have returned to China, was now making overseas calls with his mobile phone. After he gave Yang Chen a brief ount of his recent situation, he hung up the phone.

    <span><span><span><span>He knew that Lu Feng would definitely appear in the hotel where he was staying, because this was the hotel that the old fox would always stay in every time he went to Los Angeles, and every time the old fox would choose to stay in the room where he was now.

    <span><span><span><span>Not long ago, the hotel''s room service department called him and told him euphemistically that a guest was willing to give him 10 times the room price to exchange his room.

    <span><span><span><span>Who but Lu Feng would spend so much money to live in such a room? This bad boy was quite extravagant.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An told the room service department on the phone that he would ept the change of room, but he want the gueste in person to change the room with him. At this time, he was waiting for Lu Feng to his door.

    <span><span><span><span>The doorbell rang.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An raised his wrist and looked at the time. Lu Feng was quite quick.

    <span><span><span><span>Arriving at the door, Chen An first looked out through the peep hole. When he saw the man standing outside, his mouth suddenly curved up with angles. He liked the feeling of controlling everything.

    <span><span><span><span>He held the door handle and slowly opened the door. When he saw Lu Feng outside the door, he showed a calm face, while Lu Feng looked at him with some surprise.

    <span><span><span><span>"Is this a coincidence or an ident?" Chen An asked preemptively.

    <span><span><span><span>"This is what I want to say." Lu Feng''s eyes shed a trace of panic. It seemed that he did not understand why he met Chen An here. There were too many coincidences.

    <span><span><span><span>"Come in." Chen An smiled and nced at the bodyguards following Lu Feng. Lu Feng understood what he meant and did not let the bodyguards follow in.

 Chapter 139: Be My Sugar Daddy (I)

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An went straight to the water bar in the room, opened the mini refrigerator and suddenly was not sure what to take out of it. He did not know what Lu Feng liked to drink.

    <span><span><span><span>"Would you like something to drink?" asked Chen An.

    <span><span><span><span>"No, thanks."

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An took out two cans of iced coffee, turned around and threw one of them at Lu Feng. Lu Feng stretched out his hands and caught it. He looked at Chen An, "I don''t think it was an ident. You should have left Los Angeles and returned to China long ago."

    <span><span><span><span>"You know that I''ve been to the airport?" Chen An keenly captured the details hidden in Lu Feng''s words. He sat down on the sofa and patted the spot beside him, "Don''t stand there, sit down."

    <span><span><span><span>Looking at the grim-looking and unsmiling Lu Feng, Chen An suddenly wanted to tease the brat.

    <span><span><span><span>"This room has nothing specialpared with other rooms, except for a better view. Why did you choose this room?" Opening the ice coffee, Chen An raised his head and took a gulp. Since he could not drink alcohols, coffee had be his first choice.

    <span><span><span><span>"I can offer ten times the price for this room. I''ll be responsible for all your expenses in the hotel." Lu Feng did not answer why he had to choose this room, as expected.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An bowed his head and smiled, his legs crossed. With his fingers gently supporting his chin, he said jokingly, "If others heard what you said, they would think you''re my sugar daddy."

    <span><span><span><span>As soon as the word "sugar daddy" came out, Lu Feng''s eyelids twitched and he frowned. "My patience with you is limited. Don''t try to irritate me or joke with me."

    <span><span><span><span>"Joke?" Chen Anughed out loud. He put down his coffee and stood up from the sofa. He walked towards Lu Feng step by step. His pace was slow and elegant. Like a good dancer on the stage, he walked with rhythm.

    <span><span><span><span>Lu Feng couldn''t help looking at Chen An''s straight and slender legs. Before he could realize it, Chen An had stood right in front, very close to him. Lu Feng could clearly see the mocking look hidden in Chen An''s eyes.

    <span><span><span><span>"Why, I am not worthy of you do that?" Chen An''s ambiguous smile and gentle voice had fascinating magic. He put one hand behind his back, stretched out his clean white fingers of the other hand, and gently poked Lu Feng''s chest.

    <span><span><span><span>Like ying the piano, his movements touched the heartstrings of a young man who had been in sleep for a long time, with lingering sound.

    <span><span><span><span>Lu Feng, who has always been determined, stepped back.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An pressed on and took another step forward. His chest was almost glued to Lu Feng''s. A pair of breathtaking eyes were staring at Lu Feng. The soft voice was just like the lure from a devil in the Hell.

    <span><span><span><span>"Since you are so rich, don''t you want to be my sugar daddy?"

    <span><span><span><span>"Shut up!" Lu Feng showed an angry look unexpectedly. He felt ufortable from the heart when he heard Chen An said something about ''being rich and being a sugar daddy''.

    <span><span><span><span>Well, the brat was being cruel to me again, I would definitely seek for revenge. An vengeful thought rose in his heart.

    <span><span><span><span>"Never mind if you don''t want to, I can find someone else, that guy, Ivanov, he may do. At least he won''t shut me up, and he won''t always look bored and cold."

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An sighed, he pointed to the outside and smiled at Lu Feng, "I won''t bother to see you out."

    <span><span><span><span>Lu Feng stood still, just looking at Chen An. Chen An smiled, "What are you looking at me for? I don''t want to exchange this room with you. It''s only 10 times the house price. Ivanov can give me a thousand times as much."

    <span><span><span><span>If the bear knew that he was used by Chen An as a bargaining chip to provoke Lu Feng, he would probably cry with jealousy.

    <span><span><span><span>"You really want to be with Ivanov?" Lu Feng asked.

    <span><span><span><span>With a faint smile, Chen An turned back to the sofa and sat down, his legs crossed, his hands sped to his chest, and he raised his chin slightly to look at Lu Feng, "Why not? I''m not young anymore. It would be nice to have someone by my side. What''s more, Ivanov has a gorgeous figure and pretty face. He is also rich and humorous."

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An nced at Lu Feng and went on, "He can not only amuse me, but also give me a lot of money. Isn''t Ivanov perfect? I have no reason to leave him, and pick a man as cold as a stone, like you, right?"

 Chapter 140: Be My Sugar Daddy (II)

    <span><span><span><span>Lu Feng looked at the man, hesitated for a moment and then asked, "If I give you money, would you still go to Ivanov?"

    <span><span><span><span>"Will you be my sugar daddy?"

    <span><span><span><span>"I''ll if you promise not to seek help from him."

    <span><span><span><span>"Then, what are you waiting for?" Chen An held out his hand to Lu Feng, "Give me your credit card."

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An clearly saw a slight twitch in the corner of Lu Feng''s eye. The young man took a credit card from his pocket and handed it to Chen An, it was a ck card without expense limit.

    <span><span><span><span>"Aren''t you afraid of going bankruptcy?" Chen An took the ck card in his hand and looked at it. Now he knew what it felt like to have a sugar daddy. He could have an unlimited credit card with just a request. No wonder so many people were willing to be kept, but Chen An still believed it would feel better to spend his own money.

    <span><span><span><span>"Whatever."

    <span><span><span><span> "You''re so generous," Chen An said with a smile. "Go get your luggage here."

    <span><span><span><span>Lu Feng looked at him with a puzzled face. Chen An had to put it bluntly, "You''re my sugar daddy now. Surely you can move in, but no matter what I won''t move out."

    <span><span><span><span>In a word, you can live in if you want, but don''t expect me to go out.

    <span><span><span><span>"Keep it down when you move in. I''ll take a nap."

    <span><span><span><span>After finishing his words, Chen An turned and walked into the bedroom, leaving Lu Feng standing there alone. He might be thinking there must be something wrong with his nerves to offer to be Chen An''s sugar daddy.

    <span><span><span><span>***

    <span><span><span><span>***

    <span><span><span><span>"The suspicion of local militants in Syria has been ruled out. Although they are extremely stupid, they still understand that they need to depend on us to obtain weapons. They will never do anything to offends us. And they do not have the ability to destroy our garrison at one stroke."

    <span><span><span><span>After the analysis, a woman said firmly, "As the little rabbit said, there is a spy among us."

    <span><span><span><span>Momentster, Lu Feng said in a low voice, "He is familiar with our presence in Syria and know clearly where our goods are, the man must possess a high rank."

    <span><span><span><span>"Boss, is the man from the east?" The woman surmised, "A group of people in the east followed Mr. Chen to the organization before. Although Mr. Chen is no longer around now, many people in the organization are saying that Mr. Chen was¡­"

    <span><span><span><span>After a pause, the woman withdrew her previous remarks, "They suspect that you usurped this position."

    <span><span><span><span>"There is nothing wrong with their suspicion. I usurped this position indeed." Lu Feng said calmly.

    <span><span><span><span>"Boss, I know, as a subordinate, I shouldn''t meddle with your business, but I have been with you and Mr. Chen for many years. I don''t think Mr. Chen gave you the power only to test you..." This topic was somewhat difficult to carry on. The woman seemed to sigh gently and said, "In any case, we must find out the spy."

    <span><span><span><span>No matter why the enemy destroyed their strongholds in Syria, any harmful action done to the organization could never be forgiven.

    <span><span><span><span>Now the public voice for Lu Feng was not very good, since the old fox Chen Chang''an was buried, some people in the organization began spread the rumor that usurper Lu Feng killed Chen Chang''an.

    <span><span><span><span>Although the core strength of the organization was still firmly under Lu Feng''s control, a single spark could set a prairie aze. If the spread of rumors w not stopped as soon as possible, Lu Feng''s authority might be overthrown.

    <span><span><span><span>As the organization''s minister in charge of the business in southern area, Red Fox trusted Lu Feng''s ability. As long as Lu Feng was willing, he could punish the rebels severely to avoid any future trouble.

    <span><span><span><span>However, the problem was, Lu Feng consider himself "the murderer of Chen Chang''an" and was burdened and tortured by guilt, thus he didn''t have the heart to punish those rebels loyal to Chen Chang''an.

    <span><span><span><span>What''s more, people who were plotting against him might make use of the rumor and join hands secretly, iming to avenge for the old fox Chen Chang''an, but actually aiming at seizing Lu Feng''s power.

    <span><span>"Since you suspect the east, why don''t you go there and find it out?" A man''s voice suddenly came from the bedroom.

 Chapter 141: Be My Sugar Daddy (III)

    <span><span><span><span>Red Fox immediately looked at the speaker. When she saw a strange man who lookedzy and just woke up from a sleep, her jaw dropped.

    <span><span><span><span>There was a stranger, a male stranger, in Lu Feng''s room. And the man came out of his bedroom.

    <span><span><span><span>Red Fox, who never ever blinked her eyes on battlefield, knew all too well about Lu Feng''s feelings towards Chen Chang''an, so Red Foxwhen she saw this she was stunned. It was like the sun rise in the west and she couldn''t believe what she saw.

    <span><span><span><span>"Who are you?" Red Fox looked at the man who suddenly appeared.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An leaned against the door and smiled. He held out a finger to point at Lu Feng, "From today on, he is my sugar daddy."

    <span><span><span><span>"Sugar- Sugar daddy?!" Red Fox couldn''t help but raise her voice and shouted out. Then she covered her mouth quickly and looked at Lu Feng beside her in shock and doubt, "Boss, is that true?"

    <span><span><span><span>"It''s a long story." This made it difficult for Lu Feng to exin, so he simply didn''t bother to exin. After all, the reason why he kept Chen An was unknown to himself.

    <span><span><span><span>To make it simple, he didn''t want this man to sell himself out for money.

    <span><span><span><span>"The Middle East has always been thergest source of arms dealers. The eastern division responsible for business in the Middle East region can be said to be the most important department in the organization. If there is a crisis in the eastern part, it will certainly have a chain reaction. Maybe other departments will also be affected, and it won''t be long before the organization copse."

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An, who had just woken up, came out of the room. He heard the conversation between Red Fox and Lu Feng just now, but unlike Red Fox, he didn''t think the east was the one to be med.

    <span><span><span><span>"But if it was done by the east, wasn''t that too stupid? Will you blow up your own house on your own territory and rob your own goods? If you will, then you must be out of your mind."

    <span><span><span><span>"Then how can you be so sure it wasn''t done by the east?" Wait, that was not the point. Red Fox was staring at Chen An closely with some precautions, "You know quite a lot."

    <span><span><span><span>"How could you find a sugar daddy if you know too little?" Gently rubbing his forehead, Chen An deliberately walked over to Lu Feng sitting on the sofa. He directly sat down beside Lu Feng under the gaze of Red Fox and leaned on the young man''s shoulder.

    <span><span><span><span>Chen An looked over at Lu Feng with his head tilted, his deep eyes beaming with intoxicating smile, "Don''t you think so?"

    <span><span><span><span>There was a moment when Lu Feng was really in a daze, just like the ordinary character who were obsessed by female ghosts in Hong Kong ghost movies in the 1980s and 1990s.

    <span><span><span><span>After Lu Feng regained himself, he moved aside, reached for Chen An''s arm and tried to distance himself from the man.

    <span><span><span><span>However, when his hand touched Chen An''s arm, each finger of him seemed to stick to Chen An''s arm and was unwilling to let go. Through the thin cloth, he could feel the temperature of Chen An''s skin, making him enchanted.

    <span><span>The appearance of Lu Feng''s honesty and resistance waspletely saw by Chen An and Red Fox nearby. The former was thinking in his mind that teasing this brat was quite interesting, while thetter was thinking that her boss had been bewitched.

 Chapter 142: Who Was the Spy? (I)

    <span><span><span><span>Red Fox couldn''t tell how she felt exactly. She had been working with Lu Feng for five or six years and had watched him rise step by step from an unexperienced young man to a dominant leader today.

    <span><span><span><span>She knew all too well Lu Feng''s feelings for Chen Chang''an. He loved Chen deeply. Since Chen Chang''an left, she had watched Lu Feng lose weight and his spirit day by day, but there was nothing she could do.

    <span><span><span><span>If she could, she really wanted to find someone who could help Lu Feng forget about the past.

    <span><span><span><span>On the other hand, as a subordinate of Chen Chang''an, she hoped that Lu Feng''s feelings for Chen Chang''an could be maintained forever.

    <span><span><span><span>Now suddenly there was a man who called Lu Feng sugar daddy. How could this not surprise her? Her feelings contradictory andplicated, but soon, Red Fox''s thoughts were attracted by Chen An''s words.

    <span><span><span><span>"The minister Arafat of the eastern division didn''t arrive in Los Angeles this time?"

    <span><span><span><span>Howe Chen An knew clearly about the name of the east division''s minister? Some people in the circle may know the one who set up their branch in the east. But in Lu Feng''s mind, Chen An was just an innocent ordinary person who happened to get himself involved in this circle.

    <span><span><span><span>"You know Arafat?" Lu Feng frowned slightly.

    <span><span><span><span>"Not only do I know Arafat, but I also know that she is the minister of the south division. She is nicknamed Red Fox for herplicated arms deals in Southeast Asia and South Asia." Chen An smiled and looked at the woman besides him.

    <span><span><span><span>Almost ten years ago, Red Fox began to work for Chen Chang''an. The woman was found by Chen Chang''an at an auction in South Asia. She had red hair and was a ve sold to South Asia by terrorists.

    <span><span><span><span>Red Fox was an Australian. She once had a devoted husband and a lovely daughter but was forced to separate from her family due to terrorist attacks on a journey. After suffering from torture, she was sold to South Asia by traffickers.

    <span><span><span><span>The reason why he bought Red Fox and trained this woman at that time was only because at the auction, he saw strong hatred in her eyes, burning like a raging me.

    <span><span><span><span>The heat and fortitude in her eyes immediately let Chen Chang''an know that this woman had unlimited potential. People said that love gave people strength, but the truth was, the power of hatred was much stronger, and Red Fox had never let him down.

    <span><span><span><span>Red Fox watched Lu Feng grow up. She had direct contact with Lu Feng for five or six years. Chen An knew that she not only regard Lu Feng as a friend. but also treated him as her child.

    <span><span><span><span>"Now don''t ask me why I know so much. After I help you find the spy, you will know why." He would tell the truth. As for whether they would believe him was beyond Chen An''s control.

    <span><span><span><span>"I''m going to take a bath. Take your time to have a chat." With a wave of his hand, Chen An rose from Lu Feng''s side and returned to his bedroom.

    <span><span><span><span>Until the man''s figure disappeared in front of them, Red Fox asked doubtfully, "Boss, who is this man? Was he spying on us for that spy?"

    <span><span><span><span>But if Chen An was really sent by the spy, wouldn''t he have made them more suspicious of him by saying so many things just now?

    <span><span><span><span>"No." Lu Feng denied it directly. He thought rationally and felt that Chen An was indeed worthy of their suspicion. But he had a strong intuition that outweighed his rationality, he trusted Chen An with no reason.

    <span><span><span><span>It was not appropriate for Red Fox to pry into Lu Feng''s private life, but there was one thing she really wanted to ask.

    <span><span><span><span>"Boss, are you really the man''s sugar daddy?"

    <span><span><span><span>Lu Feng took a look at Red Fox. She kept her mouth shut instantly, but her doubts increased and her curiosity and vignce towards Chen An became stronger.

    <span><span><span><span>Lu Feng knew that no matter what he asked Chen An, the man would say nothing for the moment. It might also be because Lu Feng really let himself trust this man, so he did not ask Chen An questions like "who are you?" and "why do you know these things?", which wouldn''t be answered anyway.

    <span><span>But how would Lu Feng make his choice, Chen An was not sure, Red Fox was alsopletely uncertain.

 Chapter 143

    Chapter 143

    The whole floor had been rented and was inspected inside and out . The few people gathered in the conference room in the name ofmercial cooperation were big shots in today¡¯s international arms circle and were the core figures of the Brothers Group led by Lu Zheng .

    Brothers Group was jointly founded by Chen Chang¡¯an and Chen Changle . Its business covered arms industry,mercial military industry, real estate, entertainment and so on, with the arms industry as the core .

    The arms sector was divided into four divisions, of which the east was in charge of business in the Middle East, the south took charge of South Asia, Southeast Asia and Australia, the north presided over the Nordic countries and Russia, and the west was in charge of the western countries .

    This time there was a problem in Syria, which was administered by the east . The problem could be considered serious or minor . In terms of losses, it was not a particrly big one for the whole group, but what worried them most was that if there was no spy among them, it seemed impossible for outsiders to destroy their garrisons and seize the weapons in such a short time .

    Once the incident was rted to the words such as ¡°betrayal¡± and ¡°spy¡±, the problem could not be ignored .

    ¡°I am not so stupid as to blow up my residence on my own territory . If I did this, I am the one who would lose the most . ¡± Arafat, minister of the eastern division tried to defend himself .

    Arafat was about forty years old, with a finely trimmed beard that was typical of Arabs, and a strict face that that made him look very difficult to get along with .

    Chen An, who was sitting next to Lu Feng, gave Arafat a nce . This guy was a reliable and time-tested friend he made in the Middle East . When he began handing over his power to Lu Feng a few years ago, he specifically appointed Arafat to help Lu Feng consolidate his position in the group .

    Most people didn¡¯t know Lu Feng put Chen Chang¡¯an under house arrest, and those who knew about it merely heard it from some gossips . Without solid evidence, it was hard to confirm that Lu Feng killed that old fox, Chen Chang¡¯an .

    One of the most difficult things for others to believe that Lu Feng killed the old fox was that Chen Chang¡¯an did take a back seat on the grounds of recuperation, andter he also handed over his power to Lu Feng . Lu Feng had no reason to kill Chen since he already had the power in his hands . If he was the real murderer, what he done would make himself fell into the mes of others .

    Secondly, everyone knew clearly how loyal Lu Feng was to Chen Chang¡¯an over the years . Lu Feng would obey whatever Chen Chang¡¯an said, so the subordinate would not be a traitor so easily .

    ¡°Haha, ording to normal logic, it is the most unlikely that you did it, but maybe that¡¯s what you think, and you did it on purpose so we won¡¯t suspect you . ¡± Said a white old man with grey hair, who was over 60 years old, smoking a cigarette in his mouth .

    This old guy was the head of the north division, a Swede who smoked very heavily and was nicknamed the ¡°heavy smoker¡± . He had always disliked the east division .

    ¡°Hum, the north has always been jealous of the profits we get in the east . Maybe you did this to frame us . ¡± Arafat fought back .

    ¡°Enough, you two,¡± said Red Fox . This graceful woman gently parted the red hair on her forehead and said sarcastically in a cold voice, ¡°We haven¡¯t found the mole yet, but start an internal strife first . The mastermind behind this willugh at us . ¡±

    ¡°Red Fox is right . Now things have not been investigated clearly . We can¡¯t suspect anyone without proof, let alone jumping into conclusions . ¡± Said an American about 40 years old . He had light brown hair and a thin and slender face . He looked like President Lincoln at the first sight . What was more coincidental was that this guy was really named Lincoln .

    Lincoln, as the head of the western division, also worked as awyer . He had certain connections with the U . S . government, and was also responsible for contacting their insiders in the international police force .

    Chen An looked at Lincoln, and Lincoln also turned to look at him, with a pair of cold sharp eyes sparkling terrifying light, while his voice was very elegant and gentle .

    ¡°Boss, may I ask who this friend is sitting next to you?¡± Lincoln asked a question that had long puzzled everyone present except Red Fox .

    In the past ten years since they knew Lu Feng, they had never seen Lu Feng bring a stranger with him, which made them confused .

    However, Lu Feng could not tell them that Chen An was his toyboy . Chen An was not eligible to attend this meeting .

    ¡°Special Adviser . ¡± Lu Feng simply said two words .

    Special adviser? What was that?

    Lu Feng had always cherished words like they were gold, so others dared not ask more questions, for fear of being suspected as the mastermind of the Syrian incident .

    The meeting was soon over . Lu Feng only ordered all divisions to strengthen management and monitoring in the near future and did not mention anything else . Everyone knew that Lu Feng was suspecting all of them and was unwilling to reveal too much information in front of them .

    Then, the ¡°special adviser¡± who did not say a word from the beginning to the end but looked at each of them seemed extremely special .

    ¡°Your eyes are really sharp . ¡± After the meeting, Red Fox stayed .

    She wondered whether this man was boasting at the beginning, but Chen An¡¯s performance just now convinced her that he might really know something .

    All the people present just now fought their way through bullets, and all of them had amazing momentum . The look in any of their eyes could scare the ordinary people to death .

    Chen An not only calmly epted the curiosity or cold gaze from everyone, but also quietly swept everyone present with his eyes that made people feel nervous .

    When Chen An¡¯s eyes fell on Red Fox, for an instant, she even thought of the old fox who had left . The old fox¡¯s eyes were always mild, but they were so mild that people would feel afraid .

    Although she had followed the old fox for more than ten years, Red Fox always felt a kind of chilling pressure facing Chen Chang¡¯an An . When Chen An looked at her quietly just now, she actually felt an invisible pressure, too .

    Hearing Red Fox¡¯s evaluation about himself, Chen An slightly raised his lips . He had seen all kinds of people . One of his friends had even got a fake funeral in order to know what people around him thought of him after his death .

    Now he was back to the Brothers Group, Chen An could also see how people evaluate him after his left .
