Chapter Index
    Jiao Bai woke up the next day close to noon. He wasn’t completely bedridden, just had a slight fever.

    He hadn’t brushed his teeth before going to bed last night, and the bloody taste in his mouth had been stifling all night, almost unbearable. He couldn’t stand it and climbed out of bed to wash up.

    Yu Xiang hid by the door, cowering.

    Jiao Bai didn’t even give him a glance. He knew very well that he hadn’t fallen ill, but rather the blood flowing from Yu Ling’s two knife wounds had played a role.

    Wait,

    Jiao Bai’s expression changed. He seemed to remember asking Yu Ling to help him…??????

    Yu Ling hadn’t done that, and just kept rinsing him with cold water.

    Jiao Bai was in a state of both ice and fire at the time, almost ascending to heaven, and didn’t pay attention to what the ant was doing.

    Well, the melon had been sent, but the person didn’t accept it.

    “Gua Gua, I’m sorry.”

    Yu Xiang’s apologetic voice came from the door, but it was very quiet, comparable to the mosquito-like voice of the main character, Li Jue.

    Jiao Bai rubbed his shoulders, and immediately two hands landed on them.

    “Is this okay?” Yu Xiang massaged him diligently.

    Jiao Bai met his flattering gaze through the mirror and sneered, “Far worse than your brother.”

    The smile on Yu Xiang’s face collapsed.

    After that, he tried hard to raise his little face: “Gua Gua, if you have any anger, just let it out, don’t hold it in your heart, or you’ll get depressed.”

    Jiao Bai lowered his head to wash his face, saying nonchalantly, “I’ve vented all my anger on your brother, you should thank your brother.”

    “Wuu…” Yu Xiang cried loudly.

    He didn’t whimper or sob, he just opened his voice directly, with earth-shattering force.

    Jiao Bai finished washing his face in Yu Xiang’s crying and went out, shouting, “Yu Ling!”

    No sound.

    “My brother went out.” Yu Xiang’s emotions were under control immediately, “You can tell me what you want, I can do it too!”

    Jiao Bai touched his head, looking at his face full of surprise, and said, “Can you tell yourself to get lost?”

    Yu Xiang pursed his lips: “Gua Gua…you have no awareness of being kidnapped…”

    Jiao Bai took his hand off his head: “Threatening me?”

    “No, no.” Yu Xiang waved both hands together.

    Jiao Bai said: “Yu Xiang, I’m not your brother, don’t play dumb with me.”

    Yu Xiang looked innocent and aggrieved: “I didn’t.”

    “Giving you the drug was because my brain was muddled. I just thought you were going to be taken back to the Shen family soon, and I couldn’t have any regrets, if I missed this village, there would be no next shop, I…” Yu Xiang bit his lip, “Wait a minute!”

    Jiao Bai had just rolled up the sleeves of his wet long coat when he saw Yu Xiang return, clutching a small white bag in his hand.

    “This is the medicine I put in your bowl, you put it in mine too, I won’t relieve myself, I won’t go out to find anyone, I’ll just take cold showers and experience the pain you experience,” Yu Xiang said expectantly, “Then you forgive me, okay?”

    Jiao Bai: “…”

    Suffocating.

    Jiao Bai didn’t give Yu Xiang the drug to eat.

    If he really did that, what difference would there be between him and Yu Xiang?

    Even though he wasn’t a good person either.

    But damn it,

    Yu Xiang still had his brother, and this was their territory. Jiao Bai had a fever and didn’t even know the way, so he should just forget it, he couldn’t beat them.

    So Jiao Bai said to Yu Xiang, “I forgive you.”

    Yu Xiang circled around him happily, as if he couldn’t see Jiao Bai’s boredom.

    “Gua Gua, when I told you before that I wanted to find a big shot to be a dog for, I was serious.” Yu Xiang rubbed his hands, “Think about it, you used to treat me like a dog, and then you were my dog, how exciting.”

    Jiao Bai patted the fever reducer sticker on his head and drank a large glass of water: “Doesn’t feel like it.”

    Wasn’t it just the cliche crematorium? He was tired of the old, bloody, scummy tropes, and now there were very few flavors that he found exciting enough.

    “Your G-spot is so high.” Yu Xiang sucked on a hawthorn strip, “Actually, it doesn’t matter if it’s not a big shot, as long as it’s a dog. Gua Gua, you said my IQ is okay, and I’m not ugly, why is life so hard?” He sighed, “I was just grasping at straws with you.”

    Jiao Bai: “…”

    Yu Xiang heard the movement outside, the hawthorn strip at his mouth was bitten off, and the remaining half fell to the ground. He stepped over it and rushed to the window, and the next moment he breathed a sigh of relief: “It’s my brother.”

    Jiao Bai stood on the bed and stretched his neck, only to see a sturdy motorcycle rushing out of the tree-lined road.

    The motorcycle stopped in front of the house, Yu Ling took off his black helmet, his neat short hair arched a little and then fell down, he took a large bag from behind the motorcycle, the bandage on his wrist was neatly wrapped, and his knuckles were rough and hard.

    Yu Ling suddenly raised his eyelids.

    Jiao Bai made eye contact with him, and went back to bed.

    Yu Ling went out to shop, buying a lot of items.

    Some of them were obviously not for the brothers to use.

    Yu Xiang said coolly from the side: “When he returns to South City, you can only eat farts, brother.”

    Yu Ling took out a down jacket.

    “Why are you buying him clothes, wouldn’t it be better to let him wear yours?” Yu Xiang continued to provoke his brother, “When he leaves, you can still smell the scent he left behind.”

    Yu Ling tore off the tag of the down jacket: “Have you finished your special report? Starting a business?”

    Yu Xiang: “…”

    Beauty ruins people.

    Since Gua Gua came to his house, he hadn’t touched the computer.

    “This is none of your business.” Yu Xiang snorted, “Anyway, I earn more money than you.”

    Yu Ling: “…”

    “Brother, do you think you’re not on the same path?” Yu Xiang was more anxious than the emperor, ever since he figured it out, he had regarded himself as someone with a sister-in-law, “Then why don’t you go on the same path as him?”

    Yu Ling flipped through the items, making sure nothing was missing.

    “You kidnapped him over here under my name, just to not say much, and let him live in our house for two days?” Yu Xiang looked at him with sympathy and disdain, “Whatever.”

    Then he became mysterious again: “I should have thought of it earlier, when you saw the photoshopped him, he already had a dog-like aura, then his real self must be even more handsome, how could you not be even more of a dog?”

    “I’m so stupid, I thought you didn’t react because you didn’t care,” Yu Xiang glanced at the tightly closed bedroom door and lowered his voice, “When I said he liked you, you were secretly rejoicing in your heart, right?”

    The next moment, Yu Xiang maliciously said word by word: “But that’s a lie, he doesn’t like you.”

    Letting you borrow my hand to be alone with him, without any breakthrough! I won’t let you succeed!

    Yu Ling remained unmoved: “Go pack your things.”

    Yu Xiang immediately understood, he didn’t nag or provoke his brother anymore, and hurriedly went to the study to pack his laptop.

    Yu Ling had just walked to the bedroom door when a voice came from inside: “Pour me a glass of water.”

    Yu Ling lightly tapped the doorknob with his fingers, with a hint of doubt. He seemed very surprised that the person inside had such keen perception.

    On the other side of the door, Jiao Bai was looking at the ant that was online.

    It was crawling, crawling, circling in place, making itself dizzy, staggering.

    Incredible.

    Seeing Yu Ling come in with a glass of water, Jiao Bai hurriedly controlled his expression.

    The water wasn’t hot, it was warm, diluted.

    Jiao Bai held it and took a sip, he didn’t observe Yu Ling, but only discovered…

    The ant’s two front little legs were crossed.

    It was looking at him with its cheeks propped up.

    “Pfft”

    Jiao Bai spat out the water.

    Yu Ling paused for a moment, took a few tissues to press on his wet clothes, absorbing the water stains. He asked: “Am I funny?”

    “It has nothing to do with you.” Jiao Bai cleared his throat, “No, that’s not right, it’s still related.”

    Jiao Bai said with a puzzled expression on Yu Ling’s face: “If you have any curiosity, you can ask it.

    Yu Ling’s action of pressing the tissue paused slightly, and a voice sounded again beside him, “But I won’t necessarily answer every question you ask.”

    Cunning, smiling, lively and agile.

    Yu Ling spoke at this moment: “Qi Yi Liao is back in the country.”

    Jiao Bai acted like Qi Yi Liao was a nobody.

    A trace of daze flashed in Yu Ling’s firm eyes, and randomly there was a faint bit of tenderness.

    “When he was young, he dealt with me a few times and knows my ways,” Yu Ling said, “It won’t be long before he finds out the flaws.”

    Jiao Bai came back to his senses: “Are you trying to say, when I go back, don’t betray you brothers?”

    Yu Ling was silent for a while, and said deeply: “I want to say, get ready, we have to change places.”

    Jiao Bai slammed the cup in his hand on the cabinet, as the water splashed up shaking, his cold voice rang out: “No, big brother, didn’t you say yesterday that you would let me go when someone came to find me?”

    Yu Ling wiped the water stains in front of him: “Yesterday was yesterday, today is today.”

    Jiao Bai waved his hand away: “So, you don’t plan to let me go?”

    Yu Ling turned around to leave.

    Jiao Bai’s leg stretched out from the quilt and kicked over.

    Yu Ling was like he had eyes in the back of his head, he leaned aside, grabbed Jiao Bai’s foot, and put it back in the quilt.

    He also threw a pair of socks at him.

    Five-toed ones.

    This Brother Yu seemed to think that everyone in the world was like his brother, who liked to wear this kind of socks.

    Jiao Bai yawned under the effect of the cold medicine, dispirited, and his eyelids were twitching. He heard a vague voice from above his head.

    “The timing is unfavorable for you, I’ll let you go back in three days.”

    Jiao Bai’s mind instantly cleared, and he looked at Yu Ling’s departing back.

    Daring to kidnap him was to help him?

    Jiao Bai’s mind became muddled again, and he checked the activity of his friends, and couldn’t help but be shocked.

    Except for Li Jue, who had only contacted him once, and the little crown prince, who had been online once but hadn’t met, the activity of all the others was rising.

    Even Qi Yi Liao had risen past 10.

    What was this doing?

    Did they think he was dead and were collectively mourning him?

    Jiao Bai found that Little Shen was following Old Shen closely, and the activity was heading straight for 50, but it hadn’t broken.

    50 was really a big hurdle, as long as he crossed it, there might not be much difficulty later, and he could successfully join the group at any time.

    Qi Yi Liao, as he had said to Shen Ji on the phone before, flew directly from England to South City.

    But it wasn’t to drink his wedding wine.

    “Third brother, do you want to rest at the hotel for a while?” Zhang Zhen walked to the car with a hoarse voice and opened the door. He hadn’t slept much in the past few days, and he knew he shouldn’t have let that guy go back to South City. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have suffered so much. He hadn’t even thought it would be like this, anxiously and uneasily to death.

    “No need, go to Xi Garden.” Qi Yi Liao got into the car, bringing in a strong smell of smoke.

    This had almost never happened to him.

    He always smoked in moderation, taking two puffs and putting it out.

    Qi Yi Liao opened his laptop and placed it on his lap, he took out eye drops from his coat pocket, tilted his head back and dropped two drops into his eyes, and closed his eyes slightly.

    He had been staring at the computer all night last night, and his eyes were a little tired.

    Qi Yi Liao slowed down enough, then opened his glasses case, took out a pair of glasses, pinched them with two fingers and placed them on his tall nose, and typed on the keyboard to bring up the video he hadn’t finished watching.

    They were all personal records of outstanding special forces soldiers.

    After Qi Yi Liao learned that his old friend had searched the service area carpet-style but hadn’t found any clues, he locked onto the identity of the kidnapper.

    Or rather,

    The other party’s former identity.

    Qi Yi Liao pushed his glasses unskillfully, his fingers interlaced on his abdomen, his deep gray eyes behind the lenses staring at the computer screen: “A Zhen, concentrate, don’t be distracted while driving.”

    Zhang Zhen on the driver’s seat concentrated: “Yes.”

    More than a few tens of minutes later, the car arrived at Xi Garden.

    Qi Yi Liao walked in with his laptop, and was greeted by a smell of alcohol.

    Shen Ji on the sofa was still wearing the same clothes as two days ago, with a stubble beard, messy hair, and bloodshot eyes full of irritability. He hadn’t taken care of himself, hadn’t been to Shen’s or the old house, had thrown all the board meetings and work aside, and hadn’t even cared about his son, who didn’t know where he had run off to. Shen Ji had just been staying at his residence.

    Everyone had been sent out, all resources had been used, but the person still hadn’t been found.

    The kidnapper wasn’t involved with any forces, and escaping was like a small fish slipping into the deep sea, too difficult to catch. It wasn’t smooth for him to deal with.

    Two days, forty-eight hours, unbearable.

    “Old Shen, you like this are really,” Qi Yi Liao shook his head and threw his glasses to Zhang Zhen, “An unexpected thing to me.”

    He pinched the bridge of his nose twice, and said faintly: “You’ve fallen.”

    Shen Ji leaned on the back of the sofa, and sneered when he heard the words: “What falling or not, I just want to catch that little dog back now, whip him for a day and a night, break his two legs, and then tie a chain to the head of the bed, so he can’t think of going anywhere.”

    Chen Yiming, who had cut fruit from the kitchen, staggered, the chairman could still cling to the face that was about to fall off, barely maintaining that dignity and appearance.

    In a few more days, it would be when the chairman’s psychological defense line collapsed, at that time if Jiao Bai came back, the chairman would not have this idea now.

    He would only think, it’s good to be back, it’s good that he’s okay, it’s good that his arms and legs are all there. My little dog isn’t dead, how great.

    The chairman wouldn’t cry out loud on the surface, but his heart was full of tears.

    ——When a person sees hope in the most desperate time.

    ——That is the most shocking.

    Chen Yiming now even suspected that Jiao Bai was playing missing himself, retaliating against the chairman.

    But in fact, it was impossible.

    Even if Jiao Bai could plot against the chairman, he couldn’t escape so cleanly on his own, he hadn’t received special training, and had more than ten years of combat experience. And all of them were victorious.

    I don’t know which godly lunatic did it, did he think about being beaten into a hornet’s nest the day he was caught?

    At one o’clock in the afternoon, Jiao Bai was taken on the road by the Yu brothers.

    Yu Xiang sat with him in the back, showing him a tablet, playing the cartoon “Tom and Jerry”.

    Jiao Bai didn’t have a childlike heart, he glanced at it twice and floated away, Yu Xiang was watching with relish, and also making surprised sounds from his mouth, completely unable to see that he was a high-IQ genius.

    Along the way, the scenery was all mountains.

    The off-road vehicle running, wasn’t too cool.

    If it was tourism, Jiao Bai’s mood would be very different, but this wasn’t the case, the scenery came and went without a trace in his eyes, leaving no trace.

    “Where are you going?” Jiao Bai grabbed his hair and asked.

    “Going to my next home with my brother.” Yu Xiang said happily, “We have many homes, all of which my brother made, each one is very primitive and returns to nature, but time doesn’t allow it, otherwise I really want to take you to live in them all.”

    Jiao Bai: “…” That wouldn’t be necessary.

    “Is it far?” he asked.

    “It’s quite far.” Yu Xiang stuffed an octopus pillow into Jiao Bai’s arms, “Gua Gua, take a nap, and it’ll probably be fast when you wake up.”

    Sleep my ass. Jiao Bai pulled up the tentacles of the octopus and tied a knot: “In the old forest, didn’t you clean up the traces in that house?”

    “Cleaned up.” Yu Xiang looked puzzled and didn’t understand.

    Jiao Bai’s heart was stem, I’m really too ordinary, so out of place with you.

    A gaze was cast from the front.

    Jiao Bai ignored it.

    The ant was scratching its head, scratching a few times and then lying flat, belly up, head tilted towards Jiao Bai.

    The activity of Yu’s boss has risen to 29.

    Jiao Bai looked at him and responded with his eyes.

    The result was good.

    That guy quickly retracted his gaze.

    Who has time to play hide-and-seek with you, Jiao Bai yawned, found a slightly more comfortable posture and snuggled up: “I want to play with my phone for a while.”

    The air in the car instantly solidified.

    “Gua Gua, you have a cold, so don’t play with your phone, if you want to check Weibo,” Yu Xiang smiled brightly, “Shall I read it to you? Let me see if there’s anything fun.”

    Yu Xiang took out his phone and opened it, muttering: “Today’s trending searches are not interesting, just a few malicious criminal case news, we don’t watch that kind, there’s too much negative energy, we don’t watch it.”

    Jiao Bai grabbed Yu Ling, who was looking back at the back seat again, and said with his eyes: Tell your brother to be quiet!

    Yu Ling moved his lips, spitting out the words silently and slowly: “I’m driving, don’t always look at me.”

    Jiao Bai rolled his eyes.

    When the car speed increased, Jiao Bai was dreaming. He dreamed that he went to West City to go to college. As soon as he entered the dormitory, he found Little Shen folding dragonflies, Old Shen directing Chen Yiming to clean, Qi Yi Liao holding a foreign language original book, Zhang Zhen doing pull-ups on the bed frame, Yu Ling disassembling guns, and Yu Xiang was intently writing a report, muttering “Why hasn’t Gua Gua come yet”, and Li Jue was tearfully and virtuously folding clothes. The face of the Crown Prince of the Cen family was pixelated, with the words “I am your eighth friend” written on it, and it was facing him.

    All of them were there!

    Jiao Bai picked up the water bottle and the cotton quilt and smashed them over, and then he woke up.

    His chest was heaving, and thecursing words that came to his mouth suddenly stopped. The atmosphere in the car was wrong. The car was also flying fast.

    Jiao Bai noticed that Yu Xiang had a gun in his hand, and his always giggling face was tense.

    And the Yu Ling in front didn’t squint, and the road conditions receded rapidly in his eyes.

    Jiao Bai looked back, and a car was catching up. And it wasn’t just one, they were all very fast, and the mountain road was filled with dust.

    Old Shen Dog?

    Or Qi Yi Liao?

    “The Cen family.” Yu Xiang’s voice that was different from his usual lively voice came from the side, his vocal cords were tightened, and the hand holding the gun was shaking.

    Jiao Bai was a little unexpected, the Cen family, then they weren’t coming for him.

    After all, he hadn’t contacted the last friend yet.

    Jiao Bai thought about it carefully, and then felt that this possibility wasn’t completely non-existent.

    In terms of the current situation, he was involved with the Shen, Qi Liang family, and was barely hated by the Qi family, which could be regarded as influencing the entire business world vane.

    Dog blood, it rolls, a super big one.

    “Brother, why don’t you speed up?” Yu Xiang called in a sharp voice.

    Just after the fever subsided, Jiao Bai’s eyelids jumped, with Sweat all over his body, was this not speeding up? He was almost falling apart, okay!

    Yu Xiang leaned forward and urged again. His brother’s driving skills had reached a supernatural level. This was only two-thirds of his ability at most. Why didn’t he throw off the car behind him?

    The eyebrows of the Yu Ling in front were tightly locked.

    He couldn’t go any faster.

    The bones of the person in the back seat hadn’t fully healed, and they couldn’t stand too much bumps.

    He should have let that young man take a bite before leaving. His blood was full of strong body-building medicinal properties. It didn’t have much resistance to the military’s special X medicine, but it could play a small role in daily life.

    Drinking a little of his blood would make him feel better.

    Before long, the car was forced to stop.

    Seven or eight cars surrounded from behind, raising guns.

    Jiao Bai heard the assistant’s reminder at this critical moment.

    [Your friend is online]

    At that moment, the eighth friend image suddenly lit up.

    The Crown Prince of the Cen family came in person? What was he plotting, making such a big battle, Jiao Bai leaned closer to the car window.

    Yu Xiang grabbed him back: “Gua Gua, hide in my arms!”

    Jiao Bai was forced to be buried in his chest. I’m suffocating.

    He pulled open Yu Xiang’s arm and stuck his head out to gasp for a few breaths.

    “Bang”

    A sound came from the driver’s seat, Yu Ling got out of the car alone, he tightened the loose bandage, didn’t take a gun, and just exposed himself to multiple gun muzzles, calmly and iron-blooded.

    The door of one of the Cen family’s cars opened, the person inside didn’t come out, only a gloved hand was revealed, lightly raising it.

    Everyone put down their guns and took a step back.

    The older one in the team shouted at Yu Ling: “Captain Yu, the Crown Prince asks you to come into the car to talk!”

    At the end he shouted again: “Bring Mr. Jiao with you!”

    Note
