TLSOTMTKOGAYWHTDI Chapter 55

Chapter 53: Saving Someone Never Ends Well

“Bang—”

The metallic door being kicked open with a loud bang made Che Ye tremble all over.

Qi Yanwang stood in the doorway against the light, his black trench coat billowed in the night wind, and the violence surging in his eyes reminded Che Ye of a dying hyena on the African savanna.

“You…”

Che Ye’s threat got stuck in his throat, “How did you find this place?”

Qi Yanwang’s fist was faster than his voice.

Amidst the crisp sound of knuckles shattering a nose bridge, Che Ye crashed into the corner like a rag doll.

Qi Yanwang grabbed the iron chair from the ground, swung it around and smashed it down, the chair legs scraping sparks on the concrete floor.

“You dare touch him, which hand did you use? Tell me!”

Qi Yanwang stepped on the back of Che Ye’s hand, and the sound of bones breaking was clearly audible.

“You thought you could become me just because you were my substitute once? Who gave you the guts to touch him?”

Che Ye’s painful wails echoed throughout the house, his face completely distorted with pain, but he still smiled lewdly.

“Look at you now… you look like a dog!”

Qi Yanwang increased the force, grinding down on the fingers under his foot. Che Ye was almost frantic.

“He… he doesn’t want you anymore! I told you, you’re more miserable than me!”

This sentence completely enraged Qi Yanwang, and he picked up the knife next to him, ready to stab it in.

“Qi Yanwang, stop it! Stop it, you bastard!”

Zhuo Huaimo shouted at him, trying to bring Qi Yanwang, who was completely blinded by rage and had lost his mind, back to his senses.

“He’s doing it on purpose, he wants you to spend the rest of your life going to hell with him. Wake up!”

Qi Yanwang’s hand froze in mid-air.

The moment he turned to look at Zhuo Huaimo, the violence receded from his eyes like a tide, revealing the fragmented panic underneath.

The film emperor who was always at ease in front of the camera was now shaking like a child who had lost his candy.

Qi Yanwang threw Che Ye to the ground and hurried over to untie his bonds.

His hands were shaking constantly. He hadn’t been afraid or trembled when he was beating Che Ye, but now, he was shaking uncontrollably.

Tears blurred his vision, and he didn’t even have the courage to look at Zhuo Huaimo.

This once-glamorous man had been tortured and was covered in wounds, and now all of this was caused by him.

Qi Yanwang took off his trench coat and wrapped it around Zhuo Huaimo, and when he picked him up, he touched the bruises on his waist.

The subtle trembling of the person in his arms was like a dull knife, scraping his heart until it was bloody.

Disordered footsteps came from the corridor.

When Yu Fengran rushed in with the police, he saw Qi Yanwang carrying Zhuo Huaimo out.

Moonlight shone in through the broken window, casting a gloomy outline on Qi Yanwang’s profile.

“Give him to me.” Yu Fengran reached out to take him.

Qi Yanwang dodged, his scarlet eyes swept over everyone present.

“Are you crazy? He needs to go to the hospital!”

“I’ll have the doctor come home!”

Qi Yanwang tightened his arms, Zhuo Huaimo’s pale face pressed against his neck.

“Whoever touches him, I’ll chop off their hands.”

The sentence was as soft as a love whisper, but it made everyone present’s hair stand on end.

Amidst the sirens, Qi Yanwang carried Zhuo Huaimo toward the black Bentley.

The trembling of the person in his arms startled him.

“Put me down…”

Zhuo Huaimo suddenly spoke, his voice rough like sandpaper.

Qi Yanwang was stunned for a few seconds, but still continued to walk forward.

He looked down, Zhuo Huaimo’s eyes were like an icy lake after a blizzard, calm in a way that frightened him.

“I said, put me down.”

This time Qi Yanwang heard clearly, he lessened the strength in his arms, and insisted,

“Be good, we’re going home!”

“We don’t have a home anymore, and we can’t go back to the past!”

Zhuo Huaimo said with difficulty, “Don’t forget, I’m like this because of you. What can you make up for?”

Qi Yanwang froze in place. The sound of the wind in the distance was so loud, yet it blew every word clearly into his ears.

“Your greatest compensation is to never let me see you again, so I can stop remembering my own stupidity and these disgusting people and things!”

Yu Fengran chased after him and took the person from his arms.

“He’s just been through a trauma. If you really care about him, let him go!”

This time, he froze in place…

Yu Fengran settled Zhuo Huaimo in the second-floor guest room and dimmed the crystal chandelier.

When the medical alcohol swab wiped across the knife mark below his collarbone, Zhuo Huaimo’s eyelashes trembled, but he didn’t make a sound.

“Say something if it hurts, why are you acting tough!”

Yu Fengran tried to make himself look more relaxed, but the hand holding the medical cotton swab couldn’t stop shaking.

Zhuo Huaimo forced a bitter smile and joked,

“Who are you talking about, me or you?”

Yu Fengran turned his face away and wiped away the tears on his face.

“I’ll go cook you some porridge!”

After Yu Fengran left, Zhuo Huaimo barely propped himself up and went to the bathroom.

In the mirror, his face, which he was once so proud of, was now completely disfigured. These injuries probably wouldn’t recover for a while.

He returned to the bed, took out his phone, and sent a message to Shao Fan.

“Something came up recently, I’ll go to America two weeks later!”

Shao Fan immediately called, his voice filled with suppressed tenderness and panic.

“Mo, what’s wrong? What happened? Why are you changing your plans temporarily?”

Zhuo Huaimo smiled, trying to make his voice sound normal.

“It’s nothing, I’m planning to transfer all of Xingyue’s shares to Lao Yu. There are some procedures to take care of!”

Shao Fan breathed a long sigh of relief.

“You scared me, Mo, I thought you weren’t coming!”

“If I don’t go to America, where else can I go?”

Shao Fan smiled, “Mo, don’t worry, I’ll be with you when you come to America, everything will be fine!”

Zhuo Huaimo didn’t feel well and was afraid that if he said too much, Shao Fan would notice something wrong, so he hurriedly made an excuse to hang up the phone.

“Huaimo!” Shao Fan suddenly called out to him.

“Yeah?”

“Thank you for being willing to give me another chance to make it up to you!”

Zhuo Huaimo said softly, “I should be the one thanking you!”

After hanging up Shao Fan’s call, Zhuo Huaimo lay on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Zhuo Huaimo lay on the sofa, and Qi Yanwang’s violent eyes and trembling hands kept flashing in his mind.

The man who was always elegant and composed in front of the camera was like a beast out of control today.

He suddenly realized that he might never have really understood Qi Yanwang.

He thought that the man who always smiled gently was only so crazy in bed?

Zhuo Huaimo touched the scar under his collarbone, where the touch of Che Ye’s blade still lingered.

If Qi Yanwang hadn’t arrived in time… he didn’t dare to think about it.

The phone vibrated, it was a message from Shao Fan.

“Tickets have been rebooked, waiting for you to choose a script.”

Zhuo Huaimo stared at the cracks on the ceiling, Shao Fan’s gentle voice still echoing in his ears.

He was too familiar with that kind of careful expectation, but he clearly understood that he couldn’t give Shao Fan the response he wanted.

However, he just wanted to escape from all the people and things here.

This year was really a mess.

The only thing to be thankful for was that those crazy nights with Qi Yanwang had allowed him to accumulate a lot of experience points, which he had exchanged with the System for vacation time. He actually had several years.

In other words, he could live as he pleased for the next few years.

Suddenly, he was a little grateful for Qi Yanwang’s insatiable appetite!

Qi Yanwang’s insatiable appetite gave him temporary freedom.

Qi Yanwang’s insatiable appetite also shattered his trust and years of effort.

Could this be considered a way to settle all debts?

Late at night, Zhuo Huaimo woke up from a nightmare. He went to the balcony to smoke and found a black Maybach parked downstairs.

The car window was lowered half an inch, and a scarlet cigarette butt flickered in the night.

The phone screen suddenly lit up, Shao Fan’s new message popped up.

“Tickets have been rebooked, waiting for you to choose a script.”

He extinguished the cigarette butt, typed “Okay” in the dialogue box, and then deleted it word by word.

In the end, the other party replied with a picture of clouds in the sky—the clouds of Los Angeles paired with Zhuo Huaimo’s favorite coffee shop.

After that day, Qi Yanwang guarded outside Yu Fengran’s door every day, just wanting to see Zhuo Huaimo.

But that person almost never went out.

Qi Yanwang stood outside Yu Fengran’s door, clutching the equity transfer agreement in his hand.

“I told you, he doesn’t want to see you.”

Yu Fengran blocked the door. “I’ll take care of the shares.”

Qi Yanwang’s knuckles turned white, he insisted.

“Let me see him. He has to sign the documents himself!”

Zhuo Huaimo, who was annoyed by the noise upstairs, slowly came downstairs and stood on the stairs, looking at him.

“Huaimo, Zhuo Huaimo!”

Qi Yanwang rushed in like a madman, but was firmly blocked by Yu Fengran outside the door!

“Lao Yu, let him in!”

Zhuo Huaimo walked to the sofa in the living room and casually lit a cigarette.

“Speak, what do you want from me?”

He was wearing loose home clothes, and the gauze under his collarbone was faintly visible.

Qi Yanwang’s throat tightened.

“I’m sorry…”

“If it’s an apology, then we don’t have anything to talk about!”

Zhuo Huaimo lightly exhaled a puff of smoke. “I received your apology, but I don’t accept it. Go back!”

Qi Yanwang took a step forward and handed him the document.

“The shares of Xingyue, I’m here to give you this today, all of them…”

His voice suddenly lowered, obviously lacking confidence.

“Including… the part you gave me!”

Zhuo Huaimo glanced at the document and sneered.

“So, you’re returning something that already belonged to me?”

“Huaimo, I’m sorry, I’m really sorry!”

He approached him. “I said, I never wanted Xingyue. Everything I did was because I loved you. I just wanted you to stay by my side. I just didn’t want to lose you!”

Zhuo Huaimo took the document, slowly raised his hand, and dropped it on the ground with a “thud”, and said with a cold laugh.

“You love me by stabbing me? I have so many people who love me, if everyone loved me like you, would I even be alive?”

Qi Yanwang stared at him. “But you only love me. Why do you have to break up with me!”

Zhuo Huaimo held back the tears in his eyes for a long time, scratched his eyebrows with his slender fingers, and lightly uttered two words.

“Bored!”

Qi Yanwang suddenly stood up. “You’re lying! You’re lying, Zhuo Huaimo, you’re lying!”

Yu Fengran suddenly came over and grabbed him.

Zhuo Huaimo picked up the contract from the ground and handed it to Qi Yanwang.

“Keep these shares yourself. After so many bad things happened, I don’t want Xingyue anymore! You said one thing right, I was the one who provoked you first, so I deserve it. I’m unlucky. If I had known you couldn’t play, if I had known I would fall so hard for you, I wouldn’t have started playing in the first place!”

He stuffed the contract into his hand. “You were bent by me and followed me for so long, consider this as compensation for you! From now on, we don’t owe each other anything!”

After saying that, he went straight upstairs.

“Zhuo Huaimo, don’t go, don’t go! Come back, come back and explain things clearly!”

Yu Fengran couldn’t twist him, so he directly notified the property security and dragged him out.

Three in the morning, Liu Jinchen’s private club.

Qi Yanwang smashed a pile of glass wine glasses on the ground.

“Young Master, can you be quiet, it’s just a man? I’ll find you a dozen!”

Qi Yanwang didn’t speak, pouring cup after cup of brown liquid into his stomach.

Suddenly, there was a sound of cursing in the corridor.

“You little bitch dares to bite me?”

A rough male voice was mixed with the crisp sound of a belt whipping. “Who do you think you are? You’ve come to this kind of place, what are you pretending to be?”

Qi Yanwang turned his head and glanced out, at the end of the corridor, a thin young man was surrounded by several bodyguards.

He pointed outside.

“What’s going on?”

Liu Jinchen gave the bodyguard next to him a look, and the bodyguard came back and whispered a few words to Liu Jinchen.

Liu Jinchen laughed. “A new little boy who doesn’t know the rules, they’re teaching him outside!”

Qi Yanwang casually handed his coat to the bodyguard.

“Take it out and tell them not to hit him!”

“Yes!”

Liu Jinchen leaned over with a cheap smile. “Do you want to try something fresh? I heard he’s a virgin!”

“Not interested!”

“You’re saving him when you’re not interested? What a great sentimentalist!”

Liu Jinchen took a puff of his cigar. “If you like him, let him follow you in the future!”

Qi Yanwang mocked himself helplessly.

“Don’t say I saved him, saving someone never ends well. Look at Zhuo Huaimo, he provoked a beast like me…”
