ATBWSTBP Chapter 13
by VolareChapter 13 Zhao Chengxi was silent
“I remember what you said. You and my brother only listened to the first two sentences!”
“The main point was what I said after, but you dragged my brother away and didn’t hear it! It’s infuriating!”
“Either don’t listen at all, or listen to everything. What’s the deal with leaving halfway?”
Jin Mo was truly driven crazy! His heartbeat had lost its normal rhythm! He felt like it would stop any minute.
If he really couldn’t beat Zhao Chengxi, he would definitely pin him to the ground and rub him hard!
Time returned to a certain afternoon three years ago.
That day was a bit muggy.
He and Wen Zijun went to the school pavilion to enjoy the breeze and do homework.
He didn’t know what Wen Zijun was thinking, but he suddenly brought up the topic of liking someone.
“Jin Mo, do you like Ruan Ying, the class beauty?”
“Class beauty?”
“Yeah, the one with curly hair, tall, very pretty!”
Jin Mo thought for a while and shook his head, “No impression!”
Wen Zijun sighed, “Ruan Ying likes you and asked me to test the waters!”
“Test what? Just tell her I don’t like her!”
“Okay! Then…” Wen Zijun leaned closer to Jin Mo, “Do you like the same sex?”
“Don’t talk nonsense, I don’t like the same sex!”
“Really?”
“Of course!”
“That’s strange. You don’t seem interested in the opposite sex, and you don’t like the same sex either. So what do you like?”
Jin Mo propped up his chin and smiled slyly.
“I like my brother!”
Wen Zijun’s jaw dropped.
“You like your brother! Your real brother?”
“No!”
“Oh, you said you don’t like the same sex! Isn’t your brother a man!” Wen Zijun pouted.
“That’s different!”
“How is it different?”
“Hehe, my brother is a man, so I like men. If my brother is reincarnated as a woman in his next life, then I’ll like women. The key isn’t his gender, but that it’s him!”
Wen Zijun looked at Jin Mo for a long time without saying a word!
…
After listening to Jin Mo’s recollection, Zhao Chengxi was silent!
This was truly a heaven on one side and a hell on the other!
If Jin Baiyan had heard the whole conversation back then, he believed that Jin Baiyan would have been ecstatic!
Unfortunately, his good intentions had backfired!
An irreversible mistake!
“Damn!” Zhao Chengxi kicked a tree that wasn’t too thick or thin next to him.
The tree was inexplicably kicked by him and, feeling resentful, dropped several leaves to express its dissatisfaction.
“So, later, when you found out Baiyan was getting engaged, you were very angry, and then…”
“Yeah, the day before we argued, I heard Jin Mother say that my brother was getting engaged next week. I really felt like the sky was falling! I thought my brother had abandoned me, didn’t want me anymore. I was collapsing! If he didn’t want me, I didn’t want him either. I told him to get lost, not to bother me anymore, and not to see him again! Sigh, they were all angry words, not a single one was sincere!”
Jin Mo raised his head and exhaled a breath of foul air. His heart felt suffocated; he couldn’t breathe without exhaling.
The two stood and sat facing each other, not knowing what to say for a long time.
Zhao Chengxi also never expected that things would turn out this way!
He always thought that Jin Baiyan gave too much and received very little, but he didn’t expect that it was entirely due to his own mistake that the current predicament was created.
“No, we must find Baiyan and tell him the truth!” Zhao Chengxi picked up his phone, ready to call Li Boxiao to ask about the situation.
Jin Mo held his arm, “He hasn’t called, which means there’s no progress yet! It’s almost eleven o’clock, they need to rest too. Let’s talk tomorrow!”
Zhao Chengxi thought for a moment and put away his phone, “Okay, let’s talk tomorrow! I’ll go back first too. I’ve been too stimulated today, I need to recover!”
After speaking, he drooped his head and walked towards his motorcycle, without any of the momentum he had when he came.
After watching Zhao Chengxi leave, Jin Mo also walked towards home.
His heart felt both astringent and stuffy, with a slight hint of sweetness.
Although things were out of control again, he was still very happy to know his brother’s feelings.
However, the price of knowing was too high!
He had walked through the gates of hell, and his brother was struggling in a chaotic world!
But it didn’t matter; things hadn’t reached the point of despair!
In just one day, he felt like he had lived half his life.
His heart couldn’t bear the repeated heavy blows.
After taking a shower, he lay on his brother’s bed, staring at the ceiling, his heart still beating “thump, thump, thump.”
He wondered if he would die suddenly before finding his brother if he kept torturing himself like this!
He closed his eyes, wanting to get a good night’s sleep, but his mind kept replaying the events of the day, with various thoughts coming one after another.
He couldn’t sleep at all!
He lay down for ten minutes, clearly very tired, but he couldn’t sleep at all.
He kept thinking about what to do tomorrow!
Zhao Chengxi’s side was faster in finding his brother’s whereabouts, which could save a lot of time, but based on his understanding of his brother, he shouldn’t let him find him so easily.
Here in Kun City, there was no need to investigate the clinics anymore!
What should they do next?
Jin Mo’s mind kept thinking, and suddenly, he remembered the phone number clipped in his brother’s book.
That’s right, there was also a strange phone number!
Thinking of this, he jumped up, barefoot, got out of bed, walked to the desk, opened the drawer, took out the piece of paper with the phone number written on it, and returned to the bed.
It was too late to call directly!
He opened WeChat and entered the number.
The WeChat name “Xu Zai” appeared!
Jin Mo frowned, “Xu Zai”?
He thought about it and didn’t remember any of his brother’s classmates or friends being called Xu Zai.
What does this person do? Why would his brother clip his phone number in the book?
After pondering for a long time, he couldn’t get an answer. He casually clicked on “Add Friend”.
Regardless of whether it’s useful or not, he’ll meet him first.
There was no response from the other party, maybe they were asleep!
Jin Mo put the phone aside and lay down as well.
The next morning, he was awakened by Xiao Feiwu’s loud voice downstairs.
After washing up and going downstairs, Xiao Feiwu and the others had already finished breakfast and were preparing to arrange today’s itinerary.
“There’s no need to track the car anymore. Zhao Chengxi will call if there’s any progress. We’ll wait for his results.”
Jin Mo said while picking up his breakfast.
“What? Zhao Chengxi?”
“Yeah!”
“How the hell did he know what we were investigating?” Xiao Feiwu reached out and scratched his buzz cut vigorously, the loud voice making Jin Mo’s eardrums throb twice.
“His people were also working on the case yesterday and found out you were also checking the surveillance!” Jin Mo glared at him, swallowed the milk in his mouth, and replied.
“What did he find?” Xiao Feiwu lowered his voice and asked.
Just as he finished speaking, Jin Mo’s phone rang.
“It’s Zhao Chengxi’s call, he probably has news!” Jin Mo pointed to the phone and said, then pressed the answer button.
“Hello, Brother Zhao!”
“Jin Mo, the taxi driver has been contacted. We sent him Baiyan’s photo, and he said that he did take Baiyan out of Kun City. The destination was Zhai City, but Baiyan got out of the car at Zhaojiaping! That’s a village, there’s no surveillance.”
“Okay, I got it. Send me the exact location where my brother got out of the car. I’ll have Brother Feiwu and the others start investigating from there!”
“Okay!”
Not long after hanging up, Zhao Chengxi sent the location provided by the taxi driver.
Jin Mo forwarded it to Xiao Feiwu.
“Brother Feiwu, take Brother Huzi and the others to start investigating from here!”
“Okay!” Xiao Feiwu stood up, “Huzi, Xiao Ping, let’s go!”
“That’s a village, there’s no surveillance. It’ll be difficult to ask one by one. After you go there, you can set up a reward platform. Anyone who provides clues will be rewarded!”
Jin Mo thought for a moment and added, “There’s plenty of money, don’t be stingy! If there aren’t enough cars, go to the garage to get them!”
Xiao Feiwu replied “Got it” and led the people out.
“Stay in touch at all times!” Jin Mo stood up and shouted at Xiao Feiwu’s back.
Xiao Feiwu didn’t even turn his head, just waved his hand at him.
