Chris walked into the office holding a folder and handed it to Wen Shang. “Boss, the shooting plan we commissioned from the ad agency has been finalized. The spokesperson for our hotel brand has also been selected. Barring any surprises, filming will officially begin this week.” Wen Shang opened the folder and quickly scanned through its contents. Chris had always been reliable when it came to work, so Wen Shang felt at ease. His eyes followed the advertising agency’s proposal all the way to the…- 147.2 K • Completed
- Romance had always been something Wen Shang created for others. But today, for the first time in his life, someone had created it for him. Even if it was a little rough around the edges, he was happy. The person he liked could sing opera, was warmhearted, kind of dumb, but also incredibly adorable. He had misjudged him once before, but fortunately, he didn’t miss his chance. With someone this good, how could he possibly say no? The best reply wasn’t words, it was action. Wen Shang grabbed the…

- Even though Mu Yuan hadn’t given him a clear answer, Wen Shang was still in an unusually good mood that night. Before heading back to his own place, he made a quick stop at the family home. He had just walked in when he noticed an unfamiliar pair of shoes at the door. Luo Yi was there too. Tan Ya, happy to see her son drop by for once, greeted him with a warm smile. “Xiao Shang, have you had dinner yet? If not, there’s still food in the kitchen. I can heat it up for you.” “No need, Mom.…

- Walking along the quiet street, Mu Yuan couldn’t stop replaying Wen Shang’s words from the phone call just now. “From now on, I’ll take care of you.” Just few simple words, yet they carried more weight than any grand vow. Somehow, Mu Yuan believed them and he felt certain Wen Shang would keep that promise for life. His mood was unbelievably good. He bounced along, humming a little tune to himself, planning to grab some stir-fried beef noodles before heading home. Not far ahead, a white…

- Almost everything that could be smashed inside the house had already been destroyed by Mu Yuan. The underlings, scared out of their minds, had all fled outside to hide. The moment they saw He Dongying arrive, their savior, they let out a cheer and rushed to surround him. "Ying-ge, thank God you are here! I knew you would not be cruel enough to leave us behind!" Mu Yuan’s close follower, A Zhi, was so emotional he was nearly crying. The house was a complete wreck. He Dongying looked down at the…

- Everyone was enjoying themselves when the private room door suddenly burst open with a loud bang. The atmosphere froze at once as all heads turned toward the entrance. “It’s bad! A fight broke out!” Yusaku Toshie from the Ushijima-gumi rushed in with a panicked look. Ji Fu stubbed out his cigarette and tilted his chin at his subordinate. “What happened? Speak clearly.” The subordinate gave a concise report. He and another member, Odagiri, had gone to the restroom. On the way, they…

- Wen Shang was on leave recently, and since he had nothing else going on, he spent nearly every day keeping Mu Yuan company. He took him out to eat, watch movies, and shop. Every expense was fully covered by him. Mu Yuan was not the kind to be polite. Since Wen Shang was happy to pay, he didn’t even bother checking price tags. If he liked something, he took it without hesitation and spent with complete peace of mind. "A new laptop? Damn, that’s high-end." He Dongying glanced at the freshly unboxed…

- Early the next morning, Mu Yuan and Wen Shang drove back to the old house in Nathan. Just as Bai Wei had instructed, Mu Yuan searched the bedroom that used to belong to Mu Huafeng and found a specific tile in the center beneath the bed. He crouched down and tapped the tile lightly with the back of his hand. It sounded hollow. Mu Yuan pulled out a steel ruler he had brought ahead of time, slipped it into the gap, and slowly pried the tile up. Underneath it was a sealed document pouch. Mu Yuan took it…

- Wen Shang ran several red lights on his way over. By the time he reached the massage parlor on Linyuan Avenue that Mu Yuan had mentioned, the chaos had already died down. There was no sign of Mu Yuan anywhere, but right in front of the entrance, Wen Shang spotted a pool of blood. It was a bright, fresh red, not yet dried. The front doors were tightly shut. He scanned the area, then hurried across the street to a convenience store and asked the shop owner, “Excuse me, do you know what happened here just…

- Mu Yuan wasn't new in the underworld. He had faced situations more dangerous than tonight. With Da K’s knife coming straight at him, he had no choice but to fight back. There was no room for retreat. He forced himself to stay calm, eyes locked on the blade. Just as the knife was about to pierce his abdomen, he twisted with all his strength and broke free. The blade missed its mark. Da K exploded with rage, yelling at his underlings, “What the fuck are you all doing?! You can’t even hold down one…
