Qian Ying was undeniably a skilled criminal. He had boldly used his flashy Mercedes S-Class to abduct Bian Yiqiu, yet left no trace behind. Ke Mingxuan went to the traffic police and pulled surveillance footage from all the roads near Celebrity Club. He quickly found traces of Bian Yiqiu. The footage showed Bian walking alone, slowly making his way down the avenue and turning into Banyan Street. His figure looked relaxed and at ease. But in the next frame, the screen abruptly went black. Ke Mingxuan…- 208.3 K • Completed
- The movie is the latest hit Hollywood action blockbuster, scheduled for this Friday night at 8 PM. The perfect time, and the perfect couple’s seat. The cinema is located not far from Junlin Tianxia, in COCO MALL. It’s just a five-minute walk through the street behind the community. The original plan was to wait for Ke Mingxuan to finish work, then go to the restaurant upstairs in the cinema to have dinner, and after a short rest, go downstairs to catch the movie. It should have been perfect. But…

If Jiang Lou hadn't mentioned it, Li Tang wouldn't have realized he was crying. A belated sense of embarrassment washed over him, and he hastily wiped his eyes, smearing tears across his face. As they evaporated more quickly, a chill spread across his skin. "I, I…" Li Tang couldn't explain his actions; he found them absurd—why should he be so upset? Why did he come looking for Jiang Lou when he felt this way? Was it simply because Jiang Lou was one of the reasons for his…- 197.1 K • Completed

- When Li Tang returned to the room, the commotion had ceased. Everyone had returned to their seats. Cao Yang was duetting with Li Meiqi on "Roof," their gazes filled with affection. On the other side, Huo Xichen and the square-faced boy were glaring at each other from across the room, the air thick with tension. Seeing Jiang Lou and Li Tang enter together, Huo Xichen looked away, surprised and delighted. "Lou… Brother Jiang, when did you arrive?" "Just now," Jiang Lou said, sitting down in the…

- A few days later, at the parking lot of Longxing Building, just as Qian Ying arrived at his designated parking spot, a sudden honking sound came from his left. He turned to look in the direction of the sound and saw the window of a black Mulsanne, about ten meters away, slowly rolling down. Ruan Chengjie waved at him from inside the car, while two bodyguards quickly stepped forward in a clear protective stance. Qian Ying casually raised a hand, and the bodyguards obediently stepped back. He walked…

- On that night, Li Tang lay on his back on the bed, running his fingers over the fresh bandage wrapped around his wrist. Recalling the events that had occurred just hours ago, Li Tang couldn’t help but wonder, did he often get hurt? Otherwise, why would he carry bandages with him and apply them so skillfully? His fingers delved between the bandage and skin, lightly pressing at first. A faint pain emerged. Then, applying more force, he pinched with two fingers, causing a greater wave of pain to…

- Initially, the lights were off, and Li Tang virtually felt his way inside. As the switch was pressed, the ceiling lamp flickered on, and he reflexively closed his eyes due to the sudden brightness. When he opened them again, the scene before him left Li Tang slightly startled. The room was smaller than he imagined, lacking any decent furniture. Two folding tables leaned against the wall riddled with cracks; one held kitchen utensils and dishes, while the other was piled high with books. A…

- They settled their bills separately, and the two chatted for a bit at the entrance of the small store. "Do you live around here?" Li Tang asked. "Mm." Jiang Lou said, "Do you live nearby too?" "No, just passing through." "Have you been here before?" Li Tang looked around. "No, I think I came to Xucheng once when I was very young, but I didn’t get to see much." As he spoke, he noticed that Jiang Lou was looking at him. That gaze seemed to… be probing? But it was only for an instant;…

- Li Tang couldn’t make sense of what Jiang Lou was saying, what did he mean by "stop pretending"? Wasn’t it normal to be more terrified when mugged late at night? As for "do you know who I am," Li Tang pondered over it and came up with a guess: "Could it be that you were once part of their gang?" Back home, lying in bed, Li Tang replayed Jiang Lou’s expression over and over again. He could only discern a hint of confusion and a subtle sense of difficulty to express himself. He had forgotten…
